Summary
When Enna Peregoy begins her new job as sous chef de cuisine at one of Baldur’s Gate’s hottest new fine dining establishments she has one goal in mind: do NOT let down Executive Chef Gale Dekarios, the world-renowned chef and restaurateur whose career and tumultuous personal life she’s admired and followed for years. Gale and Enna are both running away from their pasts, but when instead they run headlong into each other, an attraction quickly develops and threatens to derail both of their careers. As chefs Enna and Gale are no strangers to balancing hunger and satisfaction, obsession and apathy, indulgence and sacrifice, success and failure. But when those things start to bleed from their professional lives and into their personal lives, the smitten chefs must determine if they can handle the heat or need to get out of the kitchen.
A sexy, sensual, modern AU. Bon appétit.

Summary
There’s someone standing in his kitchen.
He looks young, maybe close to Max’s age, with messy dark brown hair that’s pulled back from his face by a red bandana, and he’s leaning against the kitchen counter like he’s supposed to be here.
Max’s first rather unhelpful thought is; fuck, he’s gorgeous. His second, more reasonable thought is;
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Charles Leclerc,” the man smiles. It's a little bit dazzling and Max is not at all distracted by it. He extends his hand for Max to shake. “I’m your new executive sous chef.”
Or: Max is very happy with his life, thank you very much. He has his restaurant, his team, and two Michelin stars at the age of 24. He definitely does not need some pretentious Monegasque chef coming in and throwing everything into chaos.
Except, maybe he does.

Summary
Sherlock threw his head back and yawned, “So—he’s already here.”
Opening the door with his second key, Sherlock’s eyes snapped shut due to the sudden rush of light; squinting them, he placed the side of his hand to his forehead to block it out.
“Listen, if you’re gonna be up this late, at least turn on the sublights. It’s two a.m. and no one—” Sherlock’s eyes fully opened to the blonde man standing in front of him, who wore an obviously old sleeping outfit, “Shit.”
William’s eyes widened, then went back to their resting position.
“How do you know my address?”
It still didn’t fully process in Sherlock’s mind; he was like a cartoon character with a loading sign above his head.Or, Sherlock and William are rival chefs who happen to accidentally become flat mates

Summary
“Can you work with him?”
Max has to take two drags of his cigarette before he can answer, and even then all he says is, “He knew I was the head chef, didn’t he.”
Charles has to have known. Even if the news hadn’t reached him that Max had taken over as the head chef of Taureau Rouge, he would not have travelled all the way from Paris to London for an interview at a restaurant without knowing who he’d be working under.
Still, Charles was the one who broke up with him. Max has to know, for sure.
“He knows,” Christian confirms softly. “He outright laughed at me when I called and asked him to come work at one of my restaurants. It was only after I said it was Taureau Rouge, working with you, that he agreed to come.”
Fuck. Fuck.
Max could’ve gone his whole life without knowing that. He probably fucking should have, because how is he supposed to be normal about it?
// Max and Charles have history, but it doesn't stop Charles from coming to work as Max's new sous chef. It does mean that everything changes for them both in the space of a single week.
