Challange: a cake
Jon: Did a ton of research, comparing every variation of this recipe ever made, and combining the best received techniques into a new one. Did not practice. Complete disaster. 2/10
Martin: Makes a cake. Why does everyone have such a hard time with this it’s only cake. His is light and flavored with something delicate and he makes the decorations by hand. 11/10
Basira: she tries so hard but everything is going Wrong no matter what she does. Drops the cake on the floor and it still ends up looking better than Jon’s. 3/10
Daisy: uses her Nan’s recipe. It’s divine, holy shit. Gives everyone a murder face the whole time and nobody sees her cook it because they are afraid to draw attention by watching. 10/10
Melanie: Uses a box mix. Does it perfectly but bro, it’s a box mix. 5/10
Tim: Does not want to cook anything so his entry is a single, fresh grapefruit. He uses his entire two hours to play candy crush and give Elias the finger in a single prolonged gesture. ?/10
Elias: There’s no way this was made by a person. It’s like if a robot made cake. Yes everything is perfect in every way but it…lacks heart. You can taste that there’s no love in this cake. 4/10
Peter: didn’t show up, sent a text to Martin 90 minutes in claiming he got the dates wrong. ?/10
Sasha: Uses a box mix but Elevates it with an extra egg and some kind of vanilla bean grit and little bears made of chocolate marching around the edge. It’s great, really, but still a box mix. 8/10
Gertrude: Uses Daisy’s Nan’s recipe but has never actually baked anything in her life. Definitely tried hard though. Painful to look at. 1/10
Jared: Is actually quite good at this and would have done better but overbaked just a little as he got distracted wondering if maybe he should have gone into baking as a trade instead of…all this. Still better than Melanie’s. 7/10
OK, so this is a real good one. It’s a Percy Jackson/Dresden Files crossover, and it’s written by a really amazing author too, so you should check out their other works as well! (Though they mostly write for Worm)

Author doesn’t have a fic summery, so I’ll improvise.
Percy either eats and/or gets eaten by Tartarus, and this kills him ofc. He gets reincarnated as a minor fae, along with Tartarus and all his memories for some reason. Features Percy interacting with the supernatural side of NYC, so doesn’t have very many cannon characters from either series, but the OCs are all easy to swallow and well written, so don’t let that put you off. Highly recommended fic!
“The HPSC is doing what?” Present Mic asked Nedzu incredulously.
Nedzu’s smile was tense. “The HPSC is concerned about the recent attack at the USJ and are choosing to intervene. A student of theirs will be transferring into Class 1-A in order to watch for a potential traitor in the school.”

Or, Hatake Kakashi is reincarnated into bnha with a quirk that makes even All for One look like child’s play. And in his eyes, anyone in UA could be the traitor he’s looking for.

New fic rec!
This is only one chapter so far, but all of Asteroid_Duck’s works are pretty great (I recomend checking out some their other works as well!) and the concept for this one hooked my interest pretty hard, so I feel confident in giving this one five stars even for how little I’ve seen of it so far. And don’t worry, in my experience this author usually updates pretty regularly.
I’ve always been dying for a ‘protagonist can summon Naruto ninja edo tensei style’ fic set in MHA, and the fact that the protag is Kakashi makes it instantly ten times better. I can’t wait to see where it goes…
Billy Butcherson from Hocus Pocus IS Billy Butcher from The Boys.
A Supe sends him back in time to the 1600s to get him out of their way. To blend in, he shaves his face and changes his vernacular to match the times. The Supes become witches, and the cunts become wenches.
Trying to find a way back to his own time, he starts hanging out with three spellcasting sisters, hoping they can help him. Alas, he cannot keep it in his pants, so they murder him.
