Thank you to @miharaikko @onthewaytosomewhere @suseagull5914 for the tags for this game!
I kept seeing all the Tumblr notifications and thinking "yeah yeah I'll get to it" but then I didn't, and then it was harder to come back.
But this game seemed like fun and an easy way to play.

I wrote this little thread fic on bsky a few days ago and I didn't post it anywhere else. Thought the tumblr crew might like it.
Let's see, who can I tag... Obviously @onthewaytosomewhere though she read it already. @books2beach @les-corps-beaux @firstprince-history-huh ?
It's been a while since I used Tumblr so I think everyone else forgot I was on here. Anyway, enjoy the story!
It's days before Christmas, and despite Alex's best efforts to convince Henry they could stay home this year, they will be traveling to London for the formal Christmas Dinner with Henry's extended family. But for now, he's soaking up every bit of chaos and frivolity he can with their little family.
The morning had been tough, both kids ganging up to cry about nothing, and he & Henry had decided to divide and conquer after breakfast. He'd taken their almost 6-year-old daughter to the den to color while a movie plays on low in the background. He distracts her by having her tell him about her art.
Henry brings their 1.5 y/o son up to the music room. Music has been a huge part of their family life, from soft lullabies at bedtime to dance parties & more. Henry's own history with music had started at a similar age & he loves to sit with the kids as he plays. The soft lights in the room help to calm both father and son.
He sits his son on his lap while he plays the chords for "Silent Night," while softly singing the lyrics. Daniel mostly listens, & keeps his hands on top of Henry's, but before long, Danny bangs on the keys himself. Henry lets him, continuing on. He doesn't want to discourage his son from exploring.
It's all very sweet and calm until he hears running footsteps down the hall, the sure sign his peaceful moment is about to be interrupted by his older child. "Daddyyyyyy!" Bella cries as she tears into the room, flinging herself at his back. "Papi says..." Sure enough, that sets off her brother.
"Yes, darling, what did Papi say?" he asks her while trying to calm Danny. Luckily, the toddler soothes quickly, used to his sister's outbursts. "He said we have to pack my lovies for when we visit Nana Catherine," she says, brushing the errant hairs away from her eyes. "Oh, and it's lunchtime."
Thank you to everyone who's tagged me over the past... weeks? months? Unclear. But here we are. This work started its life as a drabble based on the prompt "snowed in" by @blueeyedgrlwrites but has taken a life of its own and is slowly unfurling into something bigger. I'm chipping away at it so maybe it will be ready in like, July or something.
Without further ado, here is today's tidbit:
âNora, I seem to remember you suggesting karaoke,â says Pez, turning the movie off.Â
âYes! I know Henry said he was bringing tunes, so I found his Spotify playlistsââ
âMy account is locked! Itâs set to private!â Henry protests.Â
Nora ignores him. ââand found which of his songs would be best for karaoke. Then I put together my own playlist using his as inspiration, but these are all the karaoke versions from YouTube.â
âWhat did you choose?â Bea asks, leaning over to peer at Noraâs phone.
âSome of the karaoke classics. We have some Bowie, Queen, Whitney, DollyâŚâ she scrolls through her playlist. âLesbian icons Joan Jett and Melissa Etheridge. We do not have Journey, because âDonât Stop Believingâ as karaoke is overdone and predictable, and we are not Gleeks.â
âBea, do you want to go first?â Pez suggests, seeing her eyes light up.Â
âOh my goodness, YES I do!â Bea exclaims, holding out her hand for Noraâs phone so she can scroll through the list. âOh, this one. Itâs perfect.â She leans over to whisper something to Nora, who grins and whispers something back.Â
Nora does something that makes the video start playing on the telly, and Pez sees the title â99 Luftballonsâ flash on the screen. Oh, yes. This will be fun.
Thank you for the tags @tailsbeth-writes and @suseagull5914 ! I do have some sentences to share today.
Have some JuNoPez.
âHere you are, sweetheart.â Pez hands her the drink he made for her and kisses her cheek. âWelcome to our stress-free weekend.â
Nora sips the drink and closes her eyes. âMmm,â she says appreciatively. âThanks, babes. Needed this.âÂ
Pez knows she means the whole weekend, not just the drink. He grins. This is just what they all needed, especially the fact that they hadnât all been together for yonks.Â
She grabs his free hand with hers and brings him to her, giving him a proper kiss hello. âMissed you,â she says in a low voice.
âThe feeling is very mutual, my dear.â
June returns from the bathroom with a loud happy sigh. âI feel so much better⌠hey!â she says upon seeing them kiss.
Pez turns to her with a bright smile and holds out the drink he made for her. âFirstly, I have this for you, made especially with you in mind. Secondly, come here and you may have your own kiss.â
A slow smile spreads across Juneâs face as she joins Pez and Nora. She takes the drink from his hand first, takes a sip, and nods appreciatively. âNot bad,â she says in a faux casual voice. Then she caresses his cheek with her free hand and brings him in for a kiss.
I'll tag @onthewaytosomewhere though it's probable she already shared her sentences. @blueeyedgrlwrites because I'm using her prompt, and @libbygrl & @caterpills for funzies

I published this last week but I forgot to post it here! Here is the long-awaited crossover fic!
We begin in the aftermath of Alex's birthday bonanza. He demands pancakes for his hangover so they end up at a local Brooklyn institution, Pancake Billy's House of Pancakes. There they run into some folks who frequent the diner. Nora finds out Wes does not have a seder to go to for Passover, so she invites him to hers. Conveniently, Alex offers out his house for her to host.
Super Six + Subway Six come together at the brownstone for a seder.
You know the drill. Tagging some folks under the cut but you can always drop me a line and say "stop tagging me!"
Here we are, folks; we've arrived at the final adventure. I hope all of you that have been following along have enjoyed. This has been so much fun to post every week and see everyone's reactions.
So... where do you think they're going this month?
