Extra Slice

(Because I couldn't get my Kanera Week Bakeoff AU out of my head, it is now a series.)

Snippet:

The two moved impossibly fast around the mat. It wasn't clear to Hera who had the upper hand as she watched from the bleachers.  But then Kanan landed a hit to Thrawn's shoulder and the whistle blew, showing Kanan had gotten a point.

This was only the second time Kanan invited her to an exhibition, and even though it was clear he knew exactly what it was doing, she couldn’t help worrying he’d get hurt. She knew from many of their conversations though, that he loved what he did and took pride in helping his students learn discipline and self-defense. 

The whistle blew. Kanan and Thrawn bowed to each other again. Then Thrawn swept his leg under Kanan's but he seemed to anticipate the move and did a jump kick just in time, just grazing Thrawn’s middle.

"Anyone sitting here?" A familiar voice broke into her thoughts.

Hera looked up to see Ezra looking at her uncertainly. She moved her bag and smiled at him, gesturing for him to take the seat without taking her eyes off of Kanan's match. “He’ll be glad you’re here,” she said, squeezing Ezra’s hand.

Bakeoff Snapshots Chapter 3

@kaneraweek prompt: Free Day (The prompt I went with was "dream")

Snippet:

Ezra and Kanan looked like they’d gone for a run together before shooting, as they arrived on the veranda from outside, instead of inside the hotel. They both looked sweaty and breathless as they said good morning to the others.

It was always weird to see someone you dreamed about, Hera thought as her eyes lingered on Kanan for a moment too long. He met her stare as Ezra passed him his coffee mug, those brilliant blue green eyes boring into hers. There was a reason why it was called eye contact, she thought. She could feel the weight of his eyes on her as acutely as if he was actually touching her. Then Kanan looked away, as he listened to something Ezra was telling him. She felt its loss as the two men made their way back into the hotel.

“You alright there?” Zeb asked.

“Me? I’m fine,” Hera said, distractedly as Zeb laughed at her. She hated that she was so transparent but with a group as small and close knit as they’d become, there was really no hiding her ridiculous crush.

Bakeoff Snapshots Chapter 2

For @kaneraweek , day 2. Prompt: Reunion.

Snippet:

The bakers let out a collective sigh of relief when they were finished. 

Judging began a bit later and they approached Ahsoka first. Mon Mothma turned the tart slice over to reveal the dreaded soggy bottom. Kanan could tell Ahsoka was trying not to react but she was clearly disappointed. 

Hera was next, earning an enthusiastic response for flavoring her custard with the meiloorun. She even got a coveted handshake from Bail and everyone applauded. She looked pleased with herself. Good, Kanan thought. She deserves it. 

“This looks so appetizing, Kanan,” Mon Mothma said as she cut a slice from his tart. “Mmm. The key lime is bright and refreshing. Let’s see the crust. It is sweet short crust, right?” Kanan nodded. Both judges turned the tart slices over and he was relieved to see it cooked through. “Delightful. No soggy bottom in sight. Well, Kanan, you should be very proud.”

Bakeoff Snapshots Chapter 1

Hi! I've started posting my Bakeoff AU for @kaneraweek. It features the Ghost crew as the bakers in the tent. It includes some fun shenanigans , including some hopeless flirting from our favorite pilot and Jedi ...I mean, martial arts specialist XD

Snippet:

“Think you got this one in the bag?” Kanan asked, giving her a roguish smile.

“We’ll see,” Hera replied. “They’re going to be tough on us for this round.”

“Well, I’m not worried,” Kanan said.

“I’d be surprised if you were,” Hera said, rolling her eyes. 

He chuckled softly. “Maybe I worry more than you know.”

“Maybe you do,” she countered as the timer went off. “Excuse me.”

“You’re excused,” Kanan said, still smiling at her.

“You’re standing in front of my oven?” Hera said, gesturing.

“Oh sorry,” Kanan said, jumping out of the way. “I’ll leave you alone.”

I just remembered how in the Elucifer-is-alive-AU, Duke talks about him like he’s dead and I’m very curious and or worried to know exactly how he talks about him

(Also your art is great!!! It brings me great joy to see!!!)

omg............ my headcanon (/fact???) for duke is that he’s incapable of saying things in, like, a normal way. even at baseline with no crisis imminent, he’s just kind of dramatic and ominous. in my bakeoff AU, elucifer is alive and duke is married to him, so obviously he talks about his husband, but he’s... still dramatic and ominous about it. he just speaks like an old widow. examples:

“i used to make these cookies with my husband............”

“ah, hyacinths...... elucifer always loved those, didn’t he......”

“that used to be elucifer’s favorite.... yes, back before he.............”

all spoken in a soft, thoughtful, nostalgic manner while staring wistfully into the middle distance
