Looking for 2 specific food fics: 1) Brian sneaking midnight dessert; 2) Brian making awful dinner

[gohelio.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting a request, so please let me know if I'm not doing this correctly. I'm searching for 2 very specific fics dealing with food (I've recently cut out all refined sugar from my diet and am now obsessed with food -- not just eating it, but reading about it apparently -- lol). I searched the tags for food, dinner, dessert, etc. but I couldn't find any such tags (except for one where B/J went out to dinner or something, which is not what I'm looking for).

I'm ashamed to say the *only* thing I recall about each story is the food scene. Here are some more specifics:

1) Justin is lying in bed one night at the loft and hears Brian rustling around in the kitchen. He hears him open the fridge and can tell that Brian's sneaking bites of some sort of pudding or pudding pie. He gets up and sees Brian eating the pudding with just his fingers -- he didn't even get cutlery because he didn't want Justin to hear him. I think Justin confronts him and makes fun of him, then eats some pie with him. Then it probably leads to sex, but that's just an educated guess on my part.

2) The second story includes a scene where Brian decides to make dinner for Justin (I can't remember why). I'm pretty sure it's lasagna he tries to make, but he doesn't cook the noodles all the way and he doesn't fry up the beef first (ugh). I'm sure there are additional reasons as to why the lasagna tastes so terrible, but I don't remember them. Justin is surprised when he finds Brian cooking and tries to eat the meal but spits it out. That's all I've got!

I would be very grateful if anyone knows which fics I'm talking about! Hopefully I didn't hallucinate these scenes and they actually *do* exist somewhere in the fandom -- haha! Thanks in advance! :)

* FOUND insanely fast by the amazing dothrakidancer! Both food scenes are from the same story "Spring Cleaning" by scoobysnacks: http://scoobysnacksfix.livejournal.com/?skip=20&tag=spring%20cleaning. Thanks again!

...I don't know either of those stories, but if you're cutting things out of your diet, have you read The Temptation of Snakes by sapphire?

Thanks for the rec! I actually have read this story before and loved it. I'll have to re-read it. I think I've got food on the brain because I'm experiencing some crazy cravings for all things bad. :)

I'm 90% sure that both those scenes come from the same story. It's 'Spring Cleaning' by scoobysnacks.

I'll take a look for a link to send you when l get home from Uni.

EDIT: The link is here http://scoobysnacksfix.livejournal.com/?skip=20&tag=spring%20cleaning.

The scene of Brian sneaking into the kitchen is in chapter 6, and one where Brian cooks is in chapter 17.

100% recommend scoobysnacks's fic 'Secret Lives' too.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I decided to check LJ before hitting bed to see if anyone responded and not only did I have some responses (and great recs) but you found what I was looking for in an insanely short amount of time! I've been trying to figure this out for weeks -- I should've just posted here right away considering how amazing this community and its members are! :)

Jeez -- I should have known it was scoobysnacks -- I love her fics! But how embarrassing -- I *thought* those 2 scenes might be from the same fic, but then I convinced myself they were from 2 separate stories. Oh well. Kills two birds with one stone I suppose.

I might have already read "Secret Lives" as I've read quite a bit of her work, but I'll have to double check. Even if I have read it before I'll probably re-read it.

Oh, and thanks for giving me the specific chapters. I checked really fast and they were exactly as I remembered them! It's weird that the only 2 things I remember from that entire story are those 2 food scenes.

And your icon has now given me a craving to watch Daria. Oh how I miss that show (and QAF!). Thanks again! :)

No problem :)

The second l saw your question l knew l had to hunt the fic down or it would haunt me!

Haha -- I've felt that way a few times when reading someone's request here before. Others usually beat me to the punch by the time I do find the requested fic, but then what I usually end up doing is just reading it myself. Thanks again!
