Summary
Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—
It made her ache, to be thought of like that.
Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

Summary
“Take a seat, Ms. Adamu,” Carmy's agent says, gesturing to the folding chair next to him. She sits down, sliding her chair closer to Carmy's as she does. He can feel the warmth of her from the mere inches of space between them. The agent drops a heavy binder down on the table. “Mr. Berzatto, Ms. Adamu, let me be the first to welcome you to the Witness Protection Program.” | A Sydcarmy Witness Protection AU for the "Strange Currencies" day of Sydcarmy Week 2024 and the "You're Leaving" AU day of Sydcarmy Week 2025

Summary
For most of his life, Carmy never thought of himself as a jealous person.
He’s never been jealous of anyone he’s worked with. If anything, being around talented chefs always pushed him to be better. He studied them, absorbed what they knew, used it as fuel.
He's never been jealous of his siblings, either. What was there to be jealous of? They were all treated the same by their shitty, abusive parents and could only count on each other.
He's never been a jealous boyfriend. Okay, sure, he hasn't dated much, but even when he was dating Claire, he didn’t get annoyed if a guy stared too long at her or tried to hit on her.
But that was before today.

Summary
It's their second date and Sydney's trying to play it cool. It's more difficult than she expected when he's so sweet, smart, and she remembers that he has a dimple but there's really no reason to resist anymore, so she doesn't. Carmy has no idea what he did right, but he's fucking loving the result.

“For future reference, your bra is in the sink, your shirt’s on the fridge, and the rest is somewhere in here.”
“By the way, I didn’t wear anything cute on purpose. I thought it’d help me retain my virtue,” she jokes.

Summary
The sweet and slow crescendo to togetherness. Carmy loves Syd well before he knows it, and over a cooked meal and a sweet evening, comes to the shocking realisation that wanting her in every crevice of his life at all times and being woefully attracted to her might be something he can act on. And does.

Summary
Sydney closes her eyes, chewing, contemplating, and a little hmm escapes from her lips before she swallows. “Okay. Jesus. That’s good. Like really good.”
“Yeah? You think?”
“Oh, yeah. I like how light the broth is. I also—I really like the color scheme you’ve got going on here. Reminds me of one of my bandanas. It’s all yellow and green.”
His throat clamps up. “Oh?”
“You’ve probably seen it. I wear it a lot.”

Summary
Hey, she typed, it’s actually really not cool to use someone else’s pictures on your tinder profile. I figured I should let you know before I report you.
The reply was surprisingly fast. Oh my god syd it actually is me. I let richie make me a profile so that he would shut up.
I didn’t know what the protocol was
For if you see someone you know.
Is this weird?Yes.
No. I mean, I matched you because I thought you were a weirdly specific catfish though.

Summary
The man breathes evenly through a wooden mask.
It looks exactly like those kiddie bear masks they sell over at the fair, except jaundiced and mud-like. Or that could be the blood streaked all over its face. Sydney wants to laugh. She doesn’t, though.
She runs.

Summary
When they started looking at each other first after each small kitchen success—Marcus successfully tempering chocolate, Richie using the cashier’s tablet to take orders for a full shift—Sydney knew they were screwed.
As a result, when Carmy approached her station at the end of the day while she was sharpening her knives, she had some idea of what to expect.
“Hey,” he had said, big blues following her hands’ progress as much as her face. “We should do something.”
She nodded. “Uh, yeah. Yeah, we should.”
He tipped his head at her, pressed his lips together in some impression of a smile and left to tend to his own housekeeping.aka carmy and syd go on an aquarium date

Summary
“Ok so why are you here?” She fills the silence as she enjoys her own food after she knows Carmy approves.
“Um, I was working on something at the apartment and forgot my knife. Didn’t think I’d find you using it, and wearing my shoes, and singing at the top of your lungs. It was a sight for sore eyes for sure.”
“Shut up.” She punches him lightly in the shoulders.
“We missed - we, I missed you. Doesn’t feel right cooking without you.” He confesses quietly.
“Missed you too.” She breathes next to him. She feels the tips of his fingers brush against her thighs.
One day apart and all their pretenses start to fall away.
“Carm. I wish I had asked you to come with me.” She drops her fork on the table and splays her hands across the table, gripping the edge of the wood.
“Why didn’t you? For real this time.” She feels his knuckles graze her bare skin like encouragement to be more vulnerable.
“Scared.”
“Say more.”
“Scared of you.”

Summary
Iris should have known broadcast journalism would be a mistake.
In fact, if she had just stayed the course she wouldn’t even be on TV at all. Iris would be hiding behind her computer in relative obscurity writing for a newspaper or, more likely, an online publication. God, if she had a time machine.
As it is, she’s sitting at her stupid desk in front of her stupid fake backdrop at 3 AM trying not to sound like she’s contemplating quitting on air in a blaze of glory.
Barry Allen, it turns out, is a breath of fresh air.
