Title: Baklava
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Summary: Shinko tastes Roald's favorite Bazhir dessert.
Baklava
“My favorite Bazhir dessert.” Roald offered her a plate with a pastry.
Shinko accepted the platter with a grateful murmur before lifting the pastry to her lips and taking a tiny bite. The thin layers of pastry flaked in her mouth. Chopped pistachios crunched on her teeth, their rich nuttiness complimenting the sweet honey that exploded on her tongue.
“I taste why it’s your favorite.” Shinko’s eyes twinkled at him. “What is it called?”
“Baklava.” Roald pronounced the word with care as if determined not to mangle it.
“Baklava,” repeated Shinko, the syllables a memory of honey on her tongue.

This is a sweet drabble “a memory of honey” is beautiful phrasing! I love baklava too. Nice glimpse of Shinko getting a taste of Tortallan/Bazhir food!

Thank you so much for reading and commenting, mistrali! I really wanted to write a sweet Roald/Shinko drabble for this event, so I was so happy that I came up with this one that literally involved sweetness and honey, haha. "A memory of honey" was probably my favorite line from this fic, so I'm so happy it was a standout for you as well. I'm like you and Roald in that I love baklava so I might have been getting hungry while writing this fic and craving baklava, haha. And it was a joy writing Shinko getting her little taste of Bazhir dessert! What a treat for her!

Aww. Thank you so much for commenting! I'm so happy to hear you found this really sweet since Roald/Shinko are one of my go-to pairings when I want to write sweet fic, and I am like you in that I find them a very cute couple! I also am a fan of Neal/Yuki, and I've written them in the past, so hopefully my muse will provide inspiration for stories featuring them in the future!
