Steven Grant / Marc Spector (Fandom High)

After a day spent preparing, decorating, and safely putting Raphael over in Marc and Steven's flat, the party was ready. Blue and white streamers were hung up along the walls, along with a banner reading "HAPPY HANUKKAH" hanging over the door to the balcony so it could be seen as soon as people came in to the flat.

There was music playing. A selection that, as one might guess, Steven had put together to help set the mood. And, he hoped, to show that there was more to Hanukkah music than one well known and slightly meta breaking novelty song.

The dining room was set up as the main area for the food, and there was a lot of it. There was plastic cutlery as well as plenty of paper plates, bowls, and napkins with images on them from menorahs, to dreidels, to a cheerfully smiling sufganiyah which is possibly the cutest thing anyone has ever seen but don’t take our word for it just look at the picture omg.

Drinks and cups were set up in the kitchen. There was a moddable selection of good wines as well as also moddable non-alcoholic drinks including grape juice and sodas. Next to each bottle of wine was a card in Llewellyn's handwriting suggesting which of the food offerings the wine paired best with (those who'd seen his handwriting before would hopefully appreciate how much care he took to make them legible). It was possible that Steven found this to be the one of the most endearing things Llewellyn had ever done, but then again it was early in their relationship so the record could very well be broken at some point.

The living room was set up for mingling, with some of the dining room chairs from Marc and Steven's flat brought over to provide extra places to sit. A table was set up by the closed bedroom door with plenty of dreidels and gelt for anyone who wanted to play. And, of course, the balcony was available if anyone needed fresh air.

The door to the flat was open. Steven and Llewellyn were there. All that was needed were the guests!

[Threads are up! As the posters around town say, all adults are invited, so feel free to come on in! Enjoy!]

Nell said she wanted to store up good memories before she left the island, so dinner and a movie night with her, Steven, and Llewellyn was still on. They'd already picked the meta and while we're at it let's also say not racist version of Fantasia movie. Steven was currently making sure it was still available for streaming even though he was in Fandom.

"Looks like it's all right," he called out to Nell, who was busy in the kitchen. She'd taken on the task of cooking and Steven knew when Nell set her mind on something it was best not to get in her way. He didn't even know what she was making, though the flat smelled great thanks to whatever it was. "Seems there's no legal troubles with me seeing this one, even though I'm here."

Steven turned the TV off so it wouldn't distract them until they were ready to watch. He suspected he knew the answer but he had to ask again all the same, "Are you sure you don't need a hand with anything?"
