Prompt:
Character A is in charge of bringing
snacks for their child’s “fall festival” at the
school/daycare/activity (such as scouts or soccer or whatever). It
would be easy to just pick up soft cookies and a bag of candy at the
store, but last year their archrival carved a cake to look like a
real pumpkin and they’ve been insufferable about it ever since.
Character A decides to make their own special fall treats for the
kids and it’s definitely going to be better than their rivals. The
only problem? They’re a disaster in the kitchen.
Summary:
Castiel hates Dean Winchester. Not only is the man frustratingly perfect
he can bake amazing cakes that look like they belong on one of those
cooking shows. This year Castiel’s going to show Dean up. He’s going to
bake the best desserts for his daughter’s Girl Scout party and Dean is
going to be so impressed. Only Castiel is a disaster in the kitchen.
Under normal circumstances Castiel
supposes that he and Dean Winchester could have been friends. However
these are not normal circumstances. Then last year Dean walked in
with that fucking perfect cake shaped like a jack-o-lantern. Castiel
probably would have enjoyed the cake too if it hadn’t shamed the
cookies he’d brought from the nearby bakery. Yah the kids loved the
cookies but the fact remained that Castiel had not baked them with
his own two hands. And despite being devastatingly handsome and
frustratingly friendly Dean was also apparently gifted in the baking
department.
As if those few tidbits about Dean’s
life aren’t frustrating enough it seems that every new piece of
information Castiel learns paints Dean as even more of Disney Prince.
He’s a widower and owns his own business. He put his little brother
through law school. Although many of the single mothers both of the
Girl Scouts and of the kids at school are constantly asking Dean out
he politely declines them. He’s just so frustratingly kind. And
handsome. Way too handsome for a single father who works full time.
Castiel is married and shares the responsibility of raising his
daughter with an amazing husband and he still feels
like he hasn’t slept a full night in over a decade. His daughter’s
only 7.
Earlier that fall when Castiel had
run into Jody Mills he’d probably looked like a man possessed when
he all but begged her to schedule him and Dean to both bring treats
to the Halloween party. The Girl Scout troop leader had eyed him
warily but when he’d volunteered to do extra work for every Girl
Scout cookie drive she’d agreed. Who was she to refuse free help.
Now he has a plan and he’s going
to show Dean up. He’s been working on it all year. His husband
thinks he’s being a bit too serious about this but what does Inias
know? Dean is just so aggravatingly perfect at everything and all
Castiel wants to do is knock him down a peg.
So with the money I earned from helping my granddad out I bought myself Dream Daddy and this game… I swear. I have cried twice (once from laughing) and I’ve burst into giggles and awwwwww’s more times than I can count.
Also, I’m terrible at this because I have like three dads I want to date all together.
Update: THIS GAME IS THE WORST (in a good way)
I’ve now gone on two dates with four dads and I DON’T WANNA PICK. Every time I’m like “I like this guy. I’m sticking to him” I date a different one and I’m like… well shit I like this guy, too.
I was expecting something a lot sillier and not as well made. The game is so fluffy, though!
Honestly, when I heard the Game Grumps were involved I really wasn’t worried about it. Maybe that’s just me being a dork who’s too poor for most video games and therefore watches other people play them, but I figured if they were willing to get involved and help out it was probably going to be at least decent. It is a bit of a silly game (so. many. dad jokes. so many.) but it’s good and I’m enjoying it.
mat and brian are the two i haven’t done yet. hugo is a close second when it comes to “dads i actually like vs dads i dated cuz i’m curious about the drama”
Yeah, my first play through it gonna be picking the dad I like the best. After that I’m going all in for the drama. You’ve dated the other five, though?
i’ve dated 4 of the dads and i think damien is the one I want to take home to mom
I’m really stuck between Hugo, Mat, and Craig actually. I haven’t dated Damien yet. Mat is the most attractive imo, but Hugo is really intelligent and Craig has that whole best buddies history going on.
It’s a hard choice.
