Today (day 9) we had likouala pepper (also known as ashanti pepper) and I couldn’t resist a peppercorn sauce with rare steak, frites, and some peas cooked in chicken broth for lunch #adventspice
In the background, a steak pan fries, a pot of peas bubbles, and a pan reduces so furiously you can only see steam. In the foreground, a green spice packet reads Poivre de la Likouala The back of the packet reads Likouala pepper. Ingredient: Piper guineense (Congo). Golden brown frites stack up on one side of the plate, a mound of green peas at the back. On the left, doused in a pepper sauce so rich it’s almost purple, is a perfectly rare steak.

i would never forget about #wipwednesday what are you talking about #caliiwriting #buddie
May’s looking at him seriously now, that thoughtful gaze so much like all three of her parents’ steady looks. “What do you mean?” she asks, holding her wine glass in both hands, tucked up comfortably on his couch with her feet beneath her. “If it really is doomed, then talking about it is the death knell. You’ll both have to admit it’s doomed, and where can you go from there? If you’re fundamentally incompatible, if there’s something broken that can’t be fixed, once you’ve acknowledged it, how do you go on pretending?” “So it’s easier not to talk about it at all,” says May slowly, her eyes far too knowing. “He’s not moving to Canada, and she’s not leaving it, and they both know that, deep down. But they’re in love. If they say it out loud, they’ll have to call it quits, but if they just keep avoiding the topic…” Buck offers, before taking a heavy gulp of his own wine.

Found my brainstorming for a big bang idea from back in June - most of a page and I went with the second new idea which checks out
A sheet of notebook, with messy turquoise handwriting which reads: Big bang thoughts 19/6/25 - ask about diff stars - modern magical realism a la tuc? - inception vibes - circle of emelan, modern or fantasy - road trip - arranged marriage? - cat dads - cowboys?? (Feat marriage of convenience?) - superheroes/mutants? - selkie - Star Trek? - dragon corps a la temeraire? - atla/bending? - folklore/mythology/modern Greek Gods

This Sunday…. Coming to an archive near you…. #wipwednesday #caliiwriting #buddie
Eddie cuts himself off as Buck digs into his pocket and hands him a bag of pulparindos. "Thanks, man," he says with a smile just for Buck. "No worries," says Buck easily. "I see how it is," says Hen archly, and Buck refuses to let himself blush. "I'm sorry that your best friend didn't prioritize your favorite snacks," says Buck, refusing to make eye contact. "Oh, so am I," agrees Hen. "If I were Buck's best friend I'd have Skor bars right now," she says, elbowing Chimney. "And instead you will have to survive with me providing you with the one of the world's greatest movies," says Chimney, steadfast, "Okay, is everyone ready? We're not delaying again. Time for you to all learn how to do film noir right." "I have no issue with Lauren Bacall, I'm just saying that being a femme fatale is literally like half my job," Buck complains, and immediately a piece of candy bounces off his cheek. Beside him, Eddie barely stifles a snigger, before offering him the open bag of pulparindos.

"If they take me into custody," says Maddie, "They'll want to search me. They'll touch my totem. That's bad, right?" "It's not great," agrees Buck, "Ideally no one ever knows what it is, what it looks like, feels like, weighs. You don't want anyone out there who could make it in a dream, that defeats the point. We can make you a new one, after tonight." "Or," says Maddie after a moment, "You can look after it for me." Buck looks at her, startled. "I'm someone," he says, slowly. "You shouldn't let me touch it either." "Evan," says Maddie, gentle as she can be mussed and bruised and covered in blood. "I trust you. I know that you wouldn't use it against me."

"What the fuck was that?" asks Chimney. "How did you not get trampled?" "O, ye of little faith," says Buck, grinning as he offers a hand to Chim and pulls him up to standing. He wipes the blood off on his jeans without thinking and then winces. "I also thought you were going to get trampled," says Eddie, dismounting, blinking a little in the sunlight. "How on earth do you know how to do that?" "Don't say it was just a dream," interjects Chimney, "I've definitely been trampled by a horse in more than one dream." "What can I say," shrugs Buck, "It's just a little trick riding." "Just a little trick riding, he says," complains Chimney in a 'can you believe this guy' kind of tone. "All American action hero, huh?" says Eddie wryly, looking Buck up and down, his eyes catching on the shining golden sheriff badge. "C'mon Diaz, we all know that's you," laughs Buck, "I just worked as a ranch hand in Montana for a while, that's all." He tips Eddie's own cowboy hat at him, and carefully ignores the look it earns him. "Come on, time to take out the infamous Black Fox Bandit." "Right," says Chim, "You guys keep him distracted, I'll sneak in the back way and start going through the loot, see what secrets I can find." He gives them a dorky little salute, before heading off around towards the escape route they built into the abandoned quarry. "Okay, partner," says Eddie, "Let's get this show on the road..."

maybe i have been obsessing over the 9-1-1 & 9/11 academic panel happening tomorrow morning, who could say

more of a comment than a question | 2k | G | preslash buck/eddie

buck's working on natural disasters & ends up on a hotshots panel

archiveofourown.org/works/72024876

#buddie #caliiwriting
more of a comment than a question by oceanofchaos summary: The conference as a whole is on The Rise and Fall of the United States of America, something like that, which honestly seems like it could be pretty fun. He comes up with a grandiose enough title, Out of the Forest Fire: Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Natural Disasters and the Los Angeles Fire Department, emails it off, and promptly forgets about it under the weight of his next deadline for his supervisor. --- Or, Buck's a PhD student working on natural disasters, who accidentally gets put on a panel about the show Hotshots. additional tags read: au - academia pre-relationship buddie fluff au - college/uni meet-cute
