Summary
Carmen is drowning in grief, debt, and pure insomnia, trying to keep The Beef afloat. The last thing he expects during a 2:00 AM emergency room run with Richie is to meet Dr. Sydney Adamu.
Sydney, surgical resident with a sharp edge and a hyper-specific culinary vocabulary no doctor should reasonably have. When their paths keep crossing in the empty, freezing hours of Chicago nights, Carmen realizes two things terrifyingly fast: she speaks his exact language, and he has no idea how to stop thinking about her.
An AU where Sydney is a doctor, Carmen is completely smitten, and two hyper-fixated perfectionists realize they run on the exact same wavelength. Basically a retelling of The Bear with Sydney being a doctor.

Summary
“Why did you cook this?”
"Because it’s special.”
He nodded once and twisted his jaw. “Why am I here tonight?”
She smiled ruefully. “Because I need you.”
“Need me— what, here? Like, in your apartment?”
She shook her head gently and shrugged. “Here, The Bear, everywhere. I was wrong last night. I had to find a way to make you stay. I am not going to be so used then easily discarded and set aside by you, Carmen. That’s not what friends do to each other.”

Summary
So I know this sounds fake but I don’t really care. I found this spell in an old book I checked out while I was in Andorra. It was of course in Catalan but I translated it. I said the words aloud and thought of who I’d wanna use it on and suddenly when I get back home my best friend is all over me. I don’t know how exactly it happened but it’s what I wanted so I’m fine with it. Don’t bother with the ethics, that’s not why I posted this. I just wanted to share the translation so here it is:
Think of love. Think of a love so great it cannot be broken. Picture a face. They are tied to you, now and forevermore. Devoted in a way you have never known. May nothing but the truth and pain of heartbreak sever it.
If anyone tries it, let me know what happens!
