Relationships: Midnighters Family, Manfred Bernardo & Patience Lucero

Additional Tags: Season/Series 02, Massage, Comfort, Belly Rubs, past Manfred/Creek, but not positive about the relationship, Manfred loves everyone in Midnight, Realisations, Healing, Emotions, Acceptance, Fix-It of Sorts, Spa Treatments, navel/belly button, Sensuality


Summary: Post S2e01 (but not canon for e2). Patience Lucero offers Manfred a massage at the spa to detoxify his body and process all the trauma he's been through. Even the always sceptical Olivia thinks the chance of relaxation would be beneficial. Manfred finds himself soothed by Patience's touch and comes to some realisations and acceptance of truths he's tried to avoid.

Author notes: I've not seen s2e2 yet so the fic won't be canon compliant after s2e1. Manfred didn't even get a hug after the healing/exorcism in e1 and I wanted to give him some comfort and to touch upon what the fandom seems to get more than the show writers given the prevalence of the tag; that it's the Midnighters as family that's important. I've drawn upon actual spa treatment/massage techniques, thrown in some of the mysticism associated with certain treatments, but have obviously taken liberties with the experience.

Sand Tarts

Dec. 19th, 2017 07:05 pm

"I made him cookies. Sand tarts."

source: https://www.springfieldspringfield.co.uk/view_episode_scripts.php?tv-show=midnight-texas-2017&episode=s01e01


In the first episode of "Midnight, Texas", Manfred gets a plate of welcome to the neighbourhood sand tarts from Fiji. They're also magical cookies, since Fiji is a witch, and if he had any bad intentions toward the town's inhabitants, Manfred would, Fiji tells her friend, "be tossing those cookies".

gif of Fiji Cavanaugh from Midnight Texas and the subtitle 'if he had bad intentions he'd be tossing those cookies as we speak'
Source: https://karamelmikaelsons.tumblr.com/post/163407460887/dont-worry-i-made-him-cookies

I'd not heard of sand tarts before and some googling gives some interesting information about the Pennsylvanian Dutch settlers who brought them to America, Amish families, and the Christmas tradition of making them.
Sand tarts are dusted with sugar (I guess giving the "sand" texture), powered sugar, and/or have nuts, pecans or almonds most often, as decorations.

I've wanted to make sand tarts since seeing the episode, being a fan of the show, enjoying occasional new forays into the world of cake/biscuit making, and an eclectic pagan :)
So I looked at several recipes of the many available online and chose this one:
Grandma's Sand Tart Cookies

The problem was that American recipes use cups (why don't you weigh things?! Also why does butter come in sticks?! Why are even your tablespoons bigger than ours?! Why Fahrenheit?!) so I had to do a bit of converting via some websites.
Then I came to make the dough and…I'm not feeding an entire village! So I halved the mixture and I probably should have rolled a bit thinner (I had to increase the cooking time) and still got 40 cookies. For comparison I tend to make about 15-20 biscuits/cookies from a UK recipe.
They are much approved of by the family though so a few more were welcome, and I might make them again :)

I made rounds, stars, a couple of reindeers, and a few Christmas tree shapes.
Here is a photo:
