Summary
"Remus Lupin is the winner!"
Remus lifted his eyes to take in the royal family. The queen sat on an ornate chair, looking haughty and cruel with a particular twist to her lips. His gaze drifted to the prince. He was pretty. Remus had expected that. He had the same high cheekbones and arched eyebrows as his mother, with a piercing blue stare. His raven-hair was carefully arranged as it cascaded to his shoulders. He looked too angelic to be involved in the kinds of atrocities his family had committed. But he had been. And Remus would kill all of them for it. But for now, he had to stick to his stupid mission and play nice enough to get picked as their new dog.
He glared up unflinchingly at the man seated in front of him. The announcer cleared his throat and gestured at his face. Remus reached up and peeled off the mask. He spit out the blood in his mouth and made a slight bow.
The announcer made another frantic noise. Balling his fingers into tight fists, he lowered down and dropped on one knee, bowing forward to the man but holding his gaze. "My prince," he muttered through gritted teeth, just loud enough to be heard, "I humbly ask for your favour."

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
At sixteen, Prince Merlin saw his kingdom destroyed and was forced into an engagement with King Cenred just because of his magic. Now, two years later and on the eve of his wedding, Merlin's crew takes him out on a final voyage before he's forced to give up his beloved ship and way of life forever in exchange for a life of darkness with Cenred. But it isn't long before the trip takes a turn for the worst and Merlin finds himself kidnapped yet again, this time by the unfairly hot and unbearably arrogant Prince Arthur Pendragon of Camelot, the very same kingdom with a reputation for making sorcerers’ heads roll. This should be fun...
