Christmas Treatssss

A/N: headcannons that wouldn't let me go to sleep last night :)

+ Davey's in charge
+ (duh)
+ at least he pretends to be
+ they're making everything:

+sugar cookies
+gingerbread
+chocolate covered pretzels
+toffee
+fudge
+ ev.er.ey.t.h.i.n.g.

+Jack's actually being sorta responsible for once
+He wants to eat this stuff, meaning he has to make it
+So he's rolling out sugar cookie dough
+(that Davey made at home and chilled for the requisite time period before bringing over)

+Meanwhile Les and Tumbler and Boots are cutting out shapes 
+ and eating dough when Davey's back is turned
+ Bumlets lays the cookies out on the trays 
+ Blink and Mush are cutting out gingerbread people
+ and also eating dough when Davey's back is turned

+Then Race comes into the kitchen waving a pan
+ "Specs told me about a thing he read" 
+ that's the only thing he says before running outside (with the pan)

+He comes back in with snow filling the pan
+And dumps half a stick of butter and a little sugar into a pot on the stove
+to start melting it
+Davey's lowkey freaking out
+ hIs OrGaNiZeD kItChEn

+then Race pours the butter/sugar mixture onto his snow filled pan
+ and it kinda fizzes slightly
+ and then hardens
+ Race is jumping all over the place
+ "It worked it worked it worked"

+Then he goes to pick up the candy
+Davey takes a good look at the pan of snow
+ "YOU ARE NOT EATING ANYTHING THAT HAS TOUCHED THAT. WHERE DID YOU GET IT FROM, THE GUTTER?"
+ Race is suspiciously quiet

+"You can help make the toffee." Skittery tells Race
+ partially because he doesn't want to be the only one responsible if the pot catches fire
+ Race perks up
+ The pot doesn't catch fire

+And it only gets close once or twice
+Davey gets the glass of ice water out
+ for when it's time to check if the toffee's ready

+Race scoops a little mixture of melted butter, sugar, and all things delicious out of the pot with the mixing spoon
+ dumps it in the ice water
+ it's still too sticky
+ so unfortunately he has to eat that bit

+so now everybody wants to help make the toffee

+until Davey pulls out the baking chocolate
+and the bag of giant pretzel sticks
+and the sprinkles

+then they all want to dip pretzels

+so they line up at the table

+Davey gives everyone their own little bowl
+ So that they can double dip without contamination
+ and 5 pretzel sticks
+ and a little jar shaker thing of sprinkles

+While everyone is dipping their pretzels straight into the chocolate, sprinkles, then mouth, Davey's making extras
+ For subsequent days
+ He's like a machine
+ 20 dipped, done
+ 40 dipped, done
+ 60 dipped, done

+After a little bit everyone's just watching him

+ Except Les
+ Les has seen this before
+ Many times
+ so Les is just eating the chocolate
+ with a spoon
+ because he finished his pretzels already

+Davey finishes the batch of pretzels
+ Looks up
+ "What's that smell?"

+Mad rush back to the kitchen
+There's a tray of gingerbread still in the oven
+ somebody forgot to set the timer

+but the house didn't burn down
+ so that's a plus
+ the oven didn't even explode (I see this as an absolute win!)

+anyway

+ Race has replaced his cigar with a chocolate pretzel
+ a couple sprinkles fall off every so often
+ but the only thing different about his dime a dozen cigar and the pretzel
+ is that he inhales the pretzels like they was Coronas
+ perhaps even better

+Davey has to hide the rest of them from him
+ Somewhere high up
+ Like on top of the cabinets

+So yeah

+this was actually longer than I thought it would be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
