Mudslide
M rated fic set during TKK era and past, but ending before CK (Lawrusso)
What is it? Daniel is a necromancer, it’s an ability his family has. He just hasn’t had to use it much, until someone tells him that Johnny’s been missing since the all-vally and now wit the help of his book he’s gotta go dig him up. And periodicailly has to go dig Johnny out of his grave as the guy keeps dying on him. Worst crop ever. Daniel never asked to be a farmer. Made for CK Halloween: Missing What is a mudslide? It’s almost like a boozy chocolate milkshake. Cream+booze+chocolate syrup=mudslide
Progress: I tried really really hard to make this a one shot, so it most likely won’t have alternating chapters, but I was maybe only 1/3rd of the way done with it at 11pm on the last official accepting date for the Halloween event and decided to just grab the first part and post it. I’ll go back through and slow down the rest and build those into proper chapters. Chapter 1
Zenzai
E rated fic set during CK (Johnny/Chozen)
What is it?
Chozen turns invisible sometimes, and generally goes unnoticed, but this time in LA Johnny notices him and all of the fear Chozen feels over it, all the uncertainty turns into a need for that attention and to touch him. Created for the CKHalloween event. What is Zenzai? In most of Japan it’s a red bean soup, in Okinawa it’s also a shaved ice dessert. It felt fitting for an ‘invisible man’ type story. Progress: Struggling. There’s a balance of plot and E that I’m failing in. And the original premise of this fic was started and stopped and scrapped. So I have a couple chapters of it going the wrong way, and then a couple chapters that didn’t quite work. So I’m figuring it out. Chapter 1 Current Chapter

Pineapple Upside Down Cake 🎂🍍 Complete 🍰 🪞
E rated fic set during TKK What is it?
This is a prequel to bagel and lox for me and a maple bar for you. This follows how the ‘reverse’ version of Daniel and Johnny met and fell in love and got together. Essentially in this alternative universe, Laura doesn’t marry Sid and Johnny instead grows up in Reseda without any friends but following the local handyman/maintenance guy around (Mr. Miyagi). Daniel meanwhile is pretty grumpy about the move to LA, meets Kreese and goes for Cobra Kai which fuels his anger. There is some disruption in the time line, i.e. graduation/when they meet Silver/Okinawa ect. There’s also some whump and hurt/comfort. This will continue through to Cobra Kai era and thus there will be some canonical character deaths mentioned. Chapter 1 Final Chapter

Vanilla Bean Crema Catalana 💖💮Complete 😷🌸
E rated Chozen/Johnny CK era Sekai Taikai fic prompt fill for “I know we just met but I feel like the two of us could get in some serious trouble.” What is it? After Chozen joins Johnny and Daniel at the sekai Taikai Daniel notices that he’s not doing well at all. He’s really sick, and coughing up orchids. Old man hanahaki disease with a little bit of inappropriate vine behavior and a little bit of sex pollen for good measure. What is a vanilla bean crema catalana? Crema Catalana means burnt cream and is like a crème brûlée, which is what I originally named it. But then doing research for the collection above this fic I realized Spain has their own version and quickly swapped out the title. Vanilla beans come from orchids, which felt fitting for a fic where the flower of choice for the hanahaki disease are orchids. A recipe for crema catalana can be found here, to make it vanilla bean just add vanilla bean to the custard before cooking. Chapter 1 Final Chapter

A tare tartin is a french dessert, traditionally like an apple pie but rather than american style where the apple is cut into slices and baked between two pie crusts, a tarte tartin is half the apple and they’re cooked in a skillet first for a bit, then baked for a bit, then a crust is put on top of the apple halves and when it’s finished baking then it’ll be inverted onto a plate or serving dish.

So this Christmas Eve he creates a palace of wind up ballerinas and toy soldiers that look remarkably similar to his beloved captain, but Johnny ends up getting attached to a nutcracker with a big smile and big brown eyes. This story takes a little bit from each of the different versions of the Nutcracker (one from the 80s, one from the 90s, the Barbie version and the original short stories) and follows some original lore and also some new creations. What are sugar plums? Sugar plums were originally named not for the fruit but the size of the candy. They could cover a wide variety of sweets, sometimes just small candies of pure sugar, but eventually in the 21st century they became a fruit and nut dessert ball rolled in coconut flakes or sugar.

Muffuletta 🎓Complete💌
For the start of the All Valley Skills Challenge’s first prompt “Back to School” I decided to dig out two drabbles I did for the All-Valley 100 and expand upon them. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but couldn’t find the time. What is it? Set somewhere during TKK3, Johnny and the cobras are starting college. Johnny, overwhelmed by it all and bored because Sid and his mom put him in a studio instead of in the dorms, goes to his first class a little drunk. He doesn’t pay attention to the assignment which is to write a letter, and ends up writing to Daniel only to find out in the next class that the teacher sent his letter. What is a muffuletta? It’s a sandwich! While researching for the fic (I’ve sent the guys to UCLA) I tried finding traditions and possibly traditional UCLA food. What I ended up finding was that UCLA used to (possibly still does in some form) have a huge Mardis Gras event every year. So I looked up New Orleans popular foods for Mardis Gras and saw that the muffuletta had Italian origins and couldn’t pass that up. It’s starts with Sicilian bread, specifically a Sicilian sesame bread and then the sandwichi is filled with olive-salad (celery, carrot, cauliflower, olives (of course), giardiniera (italian relish), oragano, garlic, and olive oil), salami, ham, provolone cheese, swiss cheese, and mortadella (a type of Italian sausage).

White chocolate coconut vanilla latte ☕ Complete 🍵
M rated Dutch/Johnny set from before TKK through TKK3.
What is it? A coffee shop AU where Dutch is working at coffee shop in order to pay for his cobra kai lessons and after the events of TKK and the start of TKK2 Johnny starts working there too. What is a white chocolate coconut vanilla latte? It’s a drink offered by an USA coffee shop chain that’s name inspired this fic, however that’s the description of the drink, the actual drink is called something like white angel and I don’t think it’s necessarily a latte. (I’ve never been 😅) But every time this cafe is mentioned I think of Dutch and I think he owns a coffee shop. So thus this fic was created.

Easter egg: almost all of the chapter titles have to deal with coffee and the final chapter is a nod to the cafe that inspired the fic.
Puppy Chow 🐶 Complete 🌕
For the Cobra Kai Halloween 2023 prompt: mad scientist. T rated Lawrusso What is it? John Kreese spends his time leading up to the All Valley digging through Dynatox old experiments before settling on one to put in a drink to give Johnny that he thinks will ensure victory. It doesn’t seem to work. Johnny (in the Cobra Kai time) is losing track of time, keeps waking up in strange places and has ever since he lost the All Valley. He fears what he’s been doing, thinks he’s gotten black out drunk each time, but in actuality is a werewolf. What is puppy chow? Puppy chow was like the best snack for people to make and bring to school when I was in like elementary school. It’s a box of chex mix cereal, 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 3/4 cup of peanut butter (smooth), 1/3 cup of butter, and powdered sugar. Essentially everything gets melted, mixed and tossed in powdered sugar. It actually goes by a lot of names but where I grew up this is what it was called. You can read more about it and how it got it’s name here. First Chapter Final Chapter
Candied Apples 🍬🍎 Complete 🗡🎣
For the Cobra Kai Halloween 2023 prompt: witches M rated Lawrusso (was originally T but I bumped it up to M) What is it? A sort of high fantasy quest AU. In this world everyone is given a quest. Generally in the valley where Daniel lives it’s something simple that helps determine one’s future job, like go get fish for the local duke. But he gets a very important quest, only part of it’s gabled. He decides the quest must be to find an unhappy princess and make her happy, so he leaves his town to go find an unhappy princess and is joined by Johnny who seems to be a rich gentleman or night who wants to travel with him. However he keeps talking to witches which is a huge red flag to Daniel. Johnny’s on his own quest and having an awful time. What is a candied apple? It’s generally a whole apple dipped in a sugar glaze that hardens or caramel, it’s kinda sticky and difficult to eat, but if you can cut it up it’s easier to enjoy. I was thinking of witches and snow white when trying to name this and that poisoned apple from the film. First Chapter Final Chapter

Camp Stinging Nettles⛺🥾 Complete 🔪💖
For the Cobra Kai Halloween 2023 prompt: serial Killers
E rated omegaverse Lawrusso
What is it? A serial killer at camp atmosphere. Set in a wonky time frame around college after TKK3 and then a time skip a couple years later.
Johnny is a camp counselor at Camp Stinging Nettles and has been every since he could be. Before that he was a camper. He likes the kids but hates the counselors because they harass him for being an omega.
This summer Daniel LaRusso has decided to join the team as the camp chef. He’s surprised to see Johnny and even more surprised to find out how awful the counselors are. As time goes on, all the trauma and angry from everything that’s happened to him causes him to snap.
Major trigger warnings for this. I made the camp counselors OC’s so I wouldn’t like kill off any friends, but Daniel does kill people and there’s highly dubious consent that doesn’t seem like there is any consent until you get to the other pov. He does, in much later chapters kill of characters from canon but off screen and well it’s sort of a good for him type of thing. So just, tread carefully. Also because it’s omegaverse so like everything that goes with that.
What are stinging nettles? Stinging nettles are an edible plant. It can be eaten in a lot of different dishes and is relatively healthy however it does also sting if not handled carefully.

Wine Dark Night 🍷🌃 Complete (One shot) 🌕🍷
What is it? General one shot fic focused on the Cobras, specifically Bobby. After watching Night Screams 1987 (all the trigger warnings, it’s a slasher horror film) because of a meme and because it stars Ron Thomas who plays Bobby I was challenged to write an AU. So I did. This fic completely spoils Night Screams 1987 and has a pretty intense opening. However rather than a full AU this is more of a character study of Bobby Brown after what happens after the tournament in The Karate Kid and the rest of the fic is angst and hurt/comfort. Want something a little dark for Halloween go for this one. Especially if you want a serial killer AU but don’t want anyone to actually die.

Some are set in The Karate Kid era, some are set in Cobra Kai, some in the weird in-between time. One’s a science fiction AU, one is a mob AU. For a full list check out either here or the first chapter which is an index and breakdown. Essentially I wanted to do a prompt list and sent out a request for prompts then worked on them as short stories for a Valentine’s Day event. What are Conversation Hearts? Candies that have been around since 1847, made of corn syrup, sugar, gelatin and food coloring. They’re little pastel colored hearts that are a bit chalky but then have flirty messages on them. Because each one has it’s own saying on it and is a bit different then the other I thought it’d make a good title for a collection of short stories. Index chapter

Wisteria Sherbert 💐 🍨 Complete 🐺 🎅
What is it? Lawrusso fic for CK Secret santa. Note this fic is rated E, heed the tags. Set during Cobra Kai, though the time line is a little wonky. It’s an a/b/o or omega universe where Johnny is an omega but hiding it and working for a company that places him as a nanny in the LaRusso household. There are some hints of darker elements, hospitals, debt and a boss/employee relationship. This is also slow burn so you’ve got to make your way through all the plot set up to get to the smut.
What is Wisteria Sherbert? Parts of wisteria is edible, it’s that purple plant hanging up outside the LaRusso home in Cobra Kai. Other parts are poisonous, so I’m not going to give you a recipe for this one even though I did in fact find one.
The Wisteria is also considered a romantic flower with a meanings of luck and a "devotion that transcends death". Between it's sweet romantic side and poisonous danger it felt a fitting plant and title for this fic. Sherbert is a type of dessert made with mostly fruit juice and sugar but also sometimes egg whites and milk. Sometimes gelatin.
