pensnestA story that spawned an inside joke.
Where did you put the lava lamp?
Do you want me to explain?
For my own contribution, I nominate Home Cooking.
See, several years ago there was a popslash Christmas card exchange in which we sent cards 'from' our recipient's nominated favourite boy(s). My recipient (Ephemera—who seems to have inspired an incredible number of my fics) wanted Chris, Lance and Nick. Well, I decided that Chris and Lance (and Joey - probably because that seemed reasonable at the time) would send recipies. They roped Justin and JC into including their own. Lance's recipe was Mississippi Cornbread; Joey's was Fatone Chicken. Justin sent a fruit cobbler recipe and JC sent vegetarian pot stickers. Chris sent Better Than Sex Cake, annotated with horrified comments from Lance and Joey.(1)
Some time afterwards I noticed Ephemera had a request up at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fic_requests for a threesome featuring Chris, Lance and Joey. Aha, I thought, and wrote Home Cooking, which involved each of them making their Christmas recipes for a celebration meal. The dessert was characterised as a lethal weapon, not unreasonably—it's basically chocolate cake supersaturated with condensed milk, plus added topping and crushed chocolate bars.
And somehow, when we had the first Camp Sparkle, it seemed reasonable to make one of these deadly cakes. We adapted it somewhat (none of us was prepared to eat Cool Whip even if we could find it, so we used whipped cream, and British sweets) and re-christened it Death Cake, and it's been on the menu ever since.
*pride*
(1) If anyone would like them, I probably still have the file somewhere and can send .pdfs
