Another Part of My Story (A Tale Set in the World of Wonka)

A/N: My first piece on Tumblr was a story about a writer retelling their adventures in the world of Wonka. Since I'm celebrating my 2 year Tumblr anniversary, I figured it was time to continue the story by diving back into the land of pure imagination that started it all. Please enjoy!

Having a best-selling children's book and running the town's most famous chocolate shop is bound to keep a couple on their toes. One day, I was trying to map out my characters and plot points and the next I was helping my boyfriend, Willy Wonka, experiment with a new chocolate recipes. This was never something that I imagined was possible and my reality was certainly a scene of pure imagination. These days, I was busy from the moment the rooster crowed at the break of dawn until the crickets chirped upon the nightfall.

It wasn't until the sun had set and we'd closed the shop up for the evening, that Willy and I had a moment alone. We'd meet up in the small loft that he built for me and cozied up to read a book or talk about our day. On this night, there was something I'd been meaning to discuss with him.

As usual, Willy had some sweets hidden in his pocket which, he presented to me on the palm of his hand.

"They're Midnight Macarons," he said as I studied the dainty cookie-like treat, which was a shade lighter than his signature plum coat.

He split the dessert down the middle and handed me a half. I smiled and accepted it, gratefully.

"They're meant to help people relax and sleep well at night," he said, placing the other half in his mouth. "I figured after a long week, we could use some rest."

Right on cue, he let a yawn.

"I guess it's working," I replied with a chuckle.

Willy gave me a sleepy smile and snuggled up closer to me. I reached my hand into my pocket and pulled out an envelope.

"Before you drift off to Dreamland, I want to show this to you," I said, handing the envelope to him.

He took it and began to read. I smiled to myself, watching his eyes dance excitedly across the page. It amazed me how quickly he learned to read. Willy liked to say that I was the reason for that, but I credited his eagerness for his quick mastering of the alphabet and printed words.

"We got invited to a ball?" Willy asked, his eyes widening with excitement.

"Yes, the invitation was in the mailbox this morning," I replied. "It's a social event for inventors and artists."

This caught his attention. He sat up, quickly, canceling out any effect the macaron had on him as he began bombarding me with questions.

"That sounds marvelous! When is it? Do we have to travel far? Do we need to dress up? Can I bring my new chocolates?" he asked, and I had to laugh at his sudden surge of energy.

"Whoa! Slow down there! It's next weekend at 8:00 p.m. The dress code is formal. All inventors and artists are encouraged to bring their creations, so I can't see why anyone would disapprove of free samples," I replied with a smile.

I could see the metaphorical light bulb going off in his brain, or perhaps, it was simply the fact that he was standing under the single light source in the loft. 

"I can see it now. Truffles! Macarons! Eclairs! They will be the best treats that I've ever produced. In fact, I better go work on them right now!" he said, rushing to his feet.

The sleepy man who was dozing off on my shoulder was replaced by an energetic one, whom I sensed would not be getting an ounce of sleep that night.

"Willy! It's 10 o'clock! Can't this wait until tomorrow?" I asked with a chuckle.

"I need to get work to leave a good impression on the artists and inventors, so they can see the beauty of candy making!" he proclaimed.

"If anyone can do it, I have no doubt that it will be you," I said.

He leaned in to kiss my cheek, and I giggled under the softness of his touch.

"They will be the best treats that any ball has ever seen! I won't let you down!" he said, as he practically skipped out of the room.

I chuckled because even the mere thought of being disappointed in him was quite comedic. I loved that man, and my head was too far gone over my heels for him to ever consider a life without him.

As I admired the view from the handcrafted loft that was a physical testament of his love for me, I whispered into the night, "Willy, you could never let me down."

I always wrote stories in my journals and never thought about posting them online. However, one night two years ago changed that. I never could have imagined the warm reception that people on Tumblr would show towards my writing. From fandom drabbles, to multi-chapter stories, to my ramblings on the latest film I enjoyed, to fulfilling your incredibly creative requests, this page has become a place where I am free to express myself and connect with an incredible community. Thank you for making me feel welcome. Here's to another year of fun!

Ok, Olivia. I Get It Now. (Analyzing the Power of Melancholic Songwriting)

We're about a month away from Olivia Rodrigo's 3rd album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, and like many people, I've had the first single, "drop dead" on repeat since its release. Its upbeat tempo and playful lyrics about the excitement of imagining the potential of a new relationship, connected with me from the beginning. That's what Olivia does. She writes about her personal experiences in a way that is introspective, yet captures universal themes that listeners identify with. Funny enough, although I knew this and listened to SOUR and GUTS when they were first released, it wasn't until recently that I truly comprehended the impact of Olivia's music.

I understood that she sang about heartbreak and the trials of adolescence, which I experienced to an extent over the years, but I knew that heartache and angst eventually faded. Therefore, I couldn't understand why she was so upset over a heartbreak when she was still young and had her whole life ahead of her to find true love. It didn't hit me until it happened to me.

This year has been a rollercoaster. I've had moments where I smiled so hard that my cheeks were sore and instances where I've cried more tears than I care to admit. Amidst the fluctuation of emotions, I rediscovered Olivia's music. Suddenly, I understood "drivers license" and the feeling of wanting to share milestones with someone who isn't in your life anymore. She admits that although they "weren't perfect", she's "never felt this way for no one". It's self-awareness that the relationship was imperfect, but she's still grieving it. They're two reactions that I learned can co-exist.

Sometimes, it's easier to push negative emotions like jealousy, insecurity, and doubt aside because they're supposedly unattractive. However, Olivia embraces those difficult feelings and turns them into art as she uses her lyricism to voice the experiences that people are often afraid to open up about. In "scared of my guitar" she expresses how "she cant' lie to [her instrument] the same way that she lies to" others in her life. As a writer, I understand how it can be scary to dive into the complexities of the mind and the negative emotions that we try to push down. However, this song really proves that those emotions are necessary to voice in order to move on from uncomfortable situations.

The beauty of Olivia's albums are that they tell a story. Both SOUR and GUTS (spilled) begin with an angsty song that voice her current frustrations and end with songs that close that chapter in her life and open up another one. On her debut album, "Brutal" is the perfect encapsulation of the frustrations of being young and the fear of not enjoying the "golden years". However, "hope ur ok" shows that youth is imperfect, but despite the pain, people can rise above hardships. Olivia's sophomore album opens with "all-American bitch" where she explores the contradictions of womanhood such as appearing like the "eternal optimist" while simultaneously bottling up difficult emotions. The album closes with "stranger" and "so american", which the former explores feeling complete once more after losing oneself in a strained relationship and the latter captures the feeling of being open to falling in love once again.

This year has been a whirlwind for me. I've experienced joy at reconnecting with people as well as the pain of losing them all over again. I've doubted my ability to do the simplest things, yet had the belief that I could accomplish what I once thought was impossible. These experiences allowed me to understand Olivia's music in a way that I hadn't before. I realized that pain can exist alongside positivity, and I am not alone in this experience. That's the beauty of her upcoming album. "drop dead" tells the story of falling head over heels in love and dreaming about it lasting forever. However, we know that in this case, those emotions changed and gave way to heartbreak. That being said, I and countless other listeners are eager to hear how Olivia uses her lyricism to tell this story and remind us that it's ok to be pretty sad for a girl so in love because life isn't black and white. After all, the most beautiful art stems from the moments that we accept this and learn to paint with the shades of grey.

I Bet They Wish To Be 17 Again

It's funny how this year, Tom Holland and Zendaya's characters are having the most insane post-high school experiences ever.

Seriously, what do you mean Rue is 43 million dollars in debt, and Peter Parker was erased from existence and became an angsty yearner?

Gosh, I love them! 😂

Adventures in Babysitting (A Race to the Edge Story Pt 2)

A/N: Thank you to everyone who read part one of this story and to @randomfandomluver for the idea for it. My ask box is always open, and I love reading new story requests!

If someone told Hiccup Haddock that he'd be chasing a hyper little girl around the edge this morning, he would have thought they were crazy. However, here he was watching in horror as she scampered around his room, so close to falling over several times. If Toothless wasn't there, he would have no idea how to catch up with her.

The little girl found such pleasure in being close to his dragon, and Hiccup had to admit that it was incredibly endearing. He assumed that most toddlers would be afraid of dragons, but this one clearly wasn't. He felt a bit of pride in the fact that dragon and Viking relationships had improved after that fateful battle with the Red Death a few years ago.

Suddenly, he heard a clatter that broke him out of his thoughts. Hiccup ran to the sound of the noise only to encounter the girl surrounded by a pile of scrap metal and a very familiar item on her head.

“Hat!” she exclaimed and pointed to the helmet she was wearing. Toothless shot him a guilty look seeing, as he had been unable to stop the girl from going through Hiccup’s belongings. Hiccup patted his head reassuringly to let him know that he wasn't upset. 

The girl pranced around the room in the helmet, which was much too big on her, and Hiccup felt a pang in his heart as he watched her. It wasn’t that long ago that his father had gifted it to him, back when he believed that it was his destiny to become a dragon fighter. Seeing the little girl in the helmet made him wonder what the world would look like when she was older and what destiny awaited the next generation of Vikings. The thought was an anxious but exciting one. 

“Okay, Missy!” Hiccup said, scooping her up in his arms. 

She giggled, and it was a pleasant sound to his ears.

“Let's go meet up with the other Vikings,” he said.

Toothless lowered himself to the ground so that they could climb onto his back.

“Maybe Astrid is done with axe throwing for the day, and we can go visit her,” Hiccup said.

 “Astrid! Astrid!” the little Viking exclaimed.

 Hiccup chuckled, “I know I’m excited to see her too.”

He secured the young Viking onto the saddle on his Night Fury. Then, he settled in behind her. Once they were in place, Toothless took off gracefully into the sky.

The girl squeaked with excitement as the dragon soared in the air. It was only a short flight to the others’ huts, but the Night Fury couldn't resist showing off. After his third consecutive tale spin, Hiccup chuckled and patted the dragon.

“Okay, bud. Those are enough tricks for the day,” Hiccup proclaimed as the dragon snorted sheepishly and landed gracefully in front of Astrid's hut. She was already standing outside of it with an expectant, yet intrigued look.

 “I thought you were taking the day off," she said, attempting but failing to keep the amusement out of her voice.

“So did I,” Hiccup said with a laugh, “But someone had other plans.” 

He took the young girl upon his shoulders, piggyback style. 

She laughed and gleefully shouted, “Again! Again!” 

Astrid’s face broke out into a grin. 

“Who might this be?” she asked, clearly fascinated by the toddler.

“She's Gustav's sister and has certainly grown up from the last time we saw her on Berk. Toothless and I are babysitting her. but she can be a bit of a handful," he admitted.

Astrid laughed. “Well, it must run in their family because I remember a certain someone left me in charge of watching an overenergetic Gustav a while back.”

Hiccup grinned sheepishly, recalling that day. The little girl bounced upon Hiccup’s shoulders. 

“Fly! Toofess! Fly!” the child said, throwing her arms around Hiccup’s head and accidentally covering his eyes in the process.

“Well, it looks like she had a nice flight. I guess it's true that a girl never forgets her first ride on a Night Fury,” Astrid said with a knowing smile.

Hiccup brought the little girl down, and before he knew it, all the other riders were flying in their direction. Clearly, they heard the commotion and were intrigued to see what was happening. Seeing their reactions was amusing. Fishlegs was eager to read dragon books to her. The twins tried to teach the already hyper toddler some new tricks. Snotlout pretended not to be interested, but he would make funny faces at her every so often to make her laugh. The entire day was full of chaos, and before they knew it, their activities were interrupted by a loud whoop as a teenage Viking came into view. It was Gustav. 

“Guess who mastered the most epic dragon flying tricks ever?” he proclaimed.

As he and Fanghook landed, the young girl went running towards him and clapped excitedly. Gustav ruffled her hair playfully, and she laughed. Then, he looked around the edge tentatively as if he expected to see something. 

“Everything seems to be in order around here,” he said, almost incredulously as if he didn't expect that to be the case upon his return.

“Not that I doubted it or anything,” he added, immediately trying to cover up his astonishment.

“Well, I guess we better get going. Mom is making her famous Yak noodle soup,” he said. "Say your goodbyes now sis. Thanks again Hiccup."

Toothless growled.

“And Toothless,” Gustav quickly added.

The little girl ran toward Toothless and blew him a kiss.

“Bye, bye, Toofess!” she exclaimed.  

Her expression turned a bit teary-eyed as she ran over to Hiccup, who picked her up in his arms to give her a hug as she cried, “Cuppy!”

Hiccup smiled and gave her a squeeze.

“Goodbye now! You be sure to stay out of trouble back on Berk. We're going to need you to be a strong dragon trainer when you grow up. I want you to go and learn all you can about the dragons back on the isle. Do you think you can do that for me?” he asked.

The girl nodded and gave him a hug. Everyone cooed at the scene, even Snotlout, who tried to disguise it as a cough. Before they knew it, Gustav and the girl were flying into the sunset, on their way home.

After the commotion died down, the riders were ready to go have dinner and call it a day. Only Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, and Stormfly remained. As she was about to hop on her dragon, Astrid smiled knowingly as Hiccup watched the now empty sky.

“I guess there's really no such thing as a quiet day on the edge, huh?” she asked, and Hiccup smiled.

“If there's one thing I learned, it's that you will certainly make a great father someday,” she said.

Astrid took off into the evening sky, leaving Hiccup with flushed cheeks and a smile upon his face. Maybe today's adventure in babysitting wasn't so bad after all.

[libraryledge]

So, you know in riders/defenders of Berk in the Changewing episode Gustav's mom has a baby? Fishlegs says it looks like a bundle of sticks wrapped in bacon. So this request takes place in Race to the Edge and reader is Gustav's sister. So Gustav comes back to the Edge for a visit but guess what!? The little girl stowed away on Fanghook's tail...! And now, she's absolutely adorable! And, she absolutely adores Hiccup and Toothless calling them Cuppy and Toofess. So she follows them and clings to them until Gustav comes back to get her

A/N: Thank you for such an adorable request! I'm having fun writing this and think it should be more than one part. I will be posting the next part soon and hope you enjoy part one!

Adventures in Babysitting (A Race to the Edge Story Part 1)

It was a lovely day on the edge. Hiccup was taking a walk and was taken aback by how quiet it was. In fact, it was too quiet. The twins were busy teaching Chicken some new tricks. Fishlegs was researching new dragon facts. Snotlout was fast asleep. Astrid was practicing her ax throwing. There hadn't been any guests arriving at the edge this week, so Hiccup figured that today might be the day he could finally relax. Toothless must have been thinking the same thing because he curled up behind Hiccup and let out a yawn. 

“What do you say, bud?” he asked. “How about we take a day to relax? Just you and me and-”

Hiccup stopped in his tracks and stared incredulously at the sky. 

“Gustav?” he exclaimed.

Before they knew it, a teenage Viking was hurtling towards them on the back of a large horned dragon. Hiccup and Toothless had just enough time to make their escape and narrowly avoided being crushed by them. 

“Hiccup! Toothless! It's been ages since I've seen you two!” Gustav said, quickly climbing off of his dragon, Fanghook, and rushing to hug them.

Taken aback by the young Viking’s nonchalant and eager behavior, all Hiccup could muster was, “Um…yeah! It's quite a surprise to see you here on the edge.”

“What? Can’t a guy come visit his old buddies?” he replied in a tone that was uncharacteristically too friendly by normal Gustav standards.

“Well, of course but,” Hiccup began but Gustav cut him off.

“Great! As your friend, I think it's only fair that you grant me a favor,” he said.

Hiccup and Toothless exchanged looks as if to say “that explains it.” 

“Yours truly was looking forward to trying out some new tricks with Fanghook, but we have some unexpected company," he admitted.

Hiccup raised an eyebrow in concern and asked, “Are Viggo and the Dragon Hunters after you?”

Gustav laughed. “Nah! That's not it.”

Then, mumbling to himself he said, “But this may bring just as much chaos to the edge.”

"Then, what is it?” Hiccup asked, still not certain what Gustav was asking him to do

“Oh, little sis!” Gustav called out.

Suddenly, from underneath Fanghook's wing appeared a young girl, no older than three. She scrambled to her feet and went running toward Hiccup and Toothless.

“This is Hiccup and Toothless, and they will be watching over you today while I master some epic flying tricks,” Gustav said, while Hiccup and the night fury stared back, flabbergasted. 

“Wait! What?" Hiccup exclaimed, but before he could protest any further, the girl went running toward him and hugged his metal leg. 

“Cuppy!” she said, and then, went to hug Toothless.

“Toofess!” she cried out, and the joy on her face caused Hiccup to sigh and give in.

 “For how long will this babysitting be for?” he asked. 

“About a couple hours,” Gustav replied as he jumped up on Fanghook and began to take off before Hiccup could protest.

“Thank you! You're the best” he called out and sped out of sight.

As the little girl pranced around them, Hiccup and Toothless exchanged bewildered looks. Their day of relaxing was suddenly about to be much busier, but it couldn’t be that hard looking after one toddler right?

Thank you @4yoonz for your submission to be set up on a blind date.

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Nancy Wheeler!

Getting out of Hawkins for an evening was exactly what you needed after a long week. You decided to check out a new theme park that opened about an hour from town. Apparently, lots of Hawkins residents had the same idea because when you arrived, you spotted at least five familiar faces in the span of ten minutes. However, the one that caught your eye was Nancy Wheeler, who was sitting alone on a bench, enjoying a chocolate chip cookie.

You always thought she was cute with her curly hair and preppy outfits, but were too shy to tell her since Steve, Jonathan, and Robin were usually within earshot. However, when you locked eyes across the park, she waved to you. You invited Nancy to join you on a water ride nearby, and she gladly agreed. The ride was intense, and the two of you ended up soaked. However, neither of you cared because you were too busy giggling and making dinner plans. As the sound of Nancy's laughter filled your ears, you couldn't think of a better way to end the week.

Thank you for your submission! I love your film choices! I hope that you liked reading this piece.

[libraryledge]

Thank you @xoxomadluvvs for your submission to be set up on a blind date.

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Yule!

Yule was nervous. He encountered frightening experiences in his life and was at some point convinced that the world was going to end, yet he survived that scare. However, nothing made him as anxious as asking you out because he didn't want to ruin your friendship. You could only focus on how adorable he looked as he fidgeted with his cap as he asked you out. Truthfully, he had the same effect on you because your heart felt like it was about to beat out of your chest.

That was how you ended up at the mall on a Saturday afternoon with your fingers shyly interlocked as you went window shopping together. Yule took you to his favorite skate shop, and the way his eyes lit up as he admired the newest boards was too cute. Then, you took him to the music store to show him your favorite albums from Riley Brina. At last, you arrived at the food court, and as you shared a slice of cheesecake, you knew that being with Yule was written right in the stars.

Thank you for your submission! I had fun throwing in references to Don't Look Up and your song choices. I hope you caught them and enjoyed this piece!

Thank you Anonymous for your submission to be set up on a blind date.

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Mike Wheeler!

All you needed was a new book to read since you hungrily devoured the last three that you checked out. What you didn't plan for was running into Mike Wheeler. Truthfully, you never had the chance to hang out at school because he was always running off to a D&D meeting, and you were racing to finish class assignments. Therefore, this interaction was very much welcome. You were suddenly discussing the newest fantasy novel and laughing at something funny your teacher said in class yesterday.

The next thing you knew, Mike was inviting you to the library's cafe. He insisted that it had the best freshly baked cookies, which Chips Ahoy could never compete with them. You wholeheartedly agreed. Suddenly, you were living a story from one of your favorite books. This interaction was thickening the plot, and you were excited to see how it would unfold.

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Eddie Munson!

Getting a summer job at the local arcade wasn't how your pictured spending your summer. However, you also didn't picture that you'd be shooting baskets at the hoop toss game with Eddie Munson. For someone who was the basketball team's biggest enemy, he really knew ball. That still didn't answer your question as to why he kept coming here every other day when he clearly wasn't the type of person to hang around in an arcade. Unless...

It wasn't until he asked you to join him for a slice of cake at the café after your shift that your suspicions were confirmed. As you ate a slice of cheesecake, and he enjoyed some devil's food cake, you realize that this summer hadn't been a bust after all. Sure chasing after middle schoolers at the arcade wasn't what you envisioned, but without that job you wouldn't have had the opportunity to spend time with Eddie. As he smiled and shared his favorite songs, you knew that this was simply meant to be.

Thank you for your submission! Eddie is such a fun character to write for, and I hope you liked this piece!

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Hiccup Haddock!

There was a shop on the isle that served the most delicious concoctions in all of Berk. From something caffeinated to the infamous Yaknog, one could be sure to get their fix for the day. It was a well-known hangout spot, so when Hiccup asked you to join him, you made sure to be there bright and early. As you sipped on a hot chocolate, he told you about a Viking art display that was taking place that afternoon.

As you headed to the exhibit arm in arm, your eye was drawn to a shop where woman was selling scrolls and books. Seeing how your face lit up, Hiccup suggested that you head in. Before you knew it, two hours had gone by. Laughing, you raced together to catch the finale of the art show. Whether it was the adrenaline rush from hurrying into town or something (or someone) else, your heart was beating fast and the feeling was incredible.

Thank you for your submission! This was such a sweet piece to write for you, and I hope you liked it!

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Neville Longbottom!

Wizarding World celebrations were always a big deal, and you could count on them to go all out. This summer, there was a fun carnival for wizards to attend, and the only way to get there was by Portkey. Luckily for you, Neville asked you out, and before you knew it, that rickety, old boot in his house was the unexpected key to unlock a day of fun.

With incredible sights and sounds surrounding you the minute you arrived, you didn't know where to begin. The two of you spent the day going on every carnival ride you could and spending your coins on the games that were so impossible to win that Neville insisted that they must be hexed. You couldn't go home without trying something sweet, so the two of you shared a slice of warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. As the night approached, you hoped that this adventure with him would never end.

Thank you for your submission! I enjoyed writing this for you and hope you liked reading it!

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Remus Lupin!

Spilling one's coffee on a cute stranger was the biggest cliché in the book, yet here you were wiping your drink off of a young man's coat. To show him how sorry you were, you offered to buy him a book from the shop next door after he mentioned that he was heading there. However, it was you who ended up leaving the shop with more books than he did, which thoroughly amused him and produced a sweet smile that lit up his entire face.

Then, feeling bold, he invited you to join him at a museum that was having an exhibit on creatures of the night. You agreed to join him and were pleasantly surprised by the beauty of all the paintings in the exhibit. You also noted with fondness how excited he was about a painting of wolves howling at the moon. Before you knew it, the evening arrived, and it was time for you to part ways. When he hinted about doing this again, you knew you wanted nothing more.

Thank you for submission! I had fun with this one, and I hope you enjoyed it!

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Steve Harrington!

Working in a coffee shop was not how Steve pictured that he'd be spending his summer, but when Robin saw that the shop was hiring for the season, he gave in. Most days were spent creating piping hot drinks, taking pastries out of the oven, and keeping his co-worker from eating the leftovers. They were busy days, but what he looked forward to the most were Saturday mornings when you would come in for a warm drink and sweet treat. After much teasing from Robin, he decided to muster the courage to join you at your table after his shift.

The welcoming look you gave him as you enjoyed your brownie filled his heart with butterflies. You talked about your favorite animated films while he shared his love for action movies. The way you smiled, opened up his eyes to how much he’d missed out on by not asking you out earlier. That's why when you invited him to go to the mall next week, there was no doubt in his mind that was where he was meant to be.

Thank you for your submission. This was a super sweet one to write, and I hope you enjoyed it!

Based on your responses, Cupid is pairing you with Willy Wonka!

How someone could be so effortlessly welcoming and sweet to everyone he met was beyond you. Perhaps it came with the territory of being an aspiring candy shop owner. However, no matter how many people Willy interacted with each day, you couldn't ignore the sparkle in his eyes that was only present when he spoke to you. Tonight, it was ever so bright as he asked you out on a nighttime stroll at a carnival taking place at the zoo.

Of course, you immediately agreed because you'd never turn down a chance to be close to him. The way he excitedly took your hand, pointed out the giraffes, and told you about his crazy encounters with people around the world filled you with warmth. You stopped by a snack cart and bought a bag of popcorn to share. When you turned around to hand him the snack, Willy stood shyly behind a bunch of balloons, which he handed to you. As you accepted them, he gently kissed your cheek. The moment was so was beautiful that you realized his gift for making chocolate wasn't the only sweet thing about him.

Thank you for your submission! I'll admit that Willy Wonka is one of my favorite characters to write for. I had fun writing this piece and hope you enjoyed it!
