Summary
Nick and his mother have run an acclaimed but small restaurant, 25 Seats, for the past five years. When it starts to get a bit taxing on Nick handling it all alone, his mum Sarah suggests they hire in some kitchen help. Nick reluctantly agrees, and Sarah puts out a want ad, which is answered by an anxious young man with no previous kitchen experience. Nick sees him as a potential liability, but his mother hires him anyway. Charlie Spring gets in the way, botches food, and generally disrupts Nick's entire life, but there's definitely got to be a reason Sarah chose him, right?

Fluff with mild angst. My love letter to restaurant work, embellished a bit to be slightly more romantic than it actually is.

Summary
Coming here was a mistake. They made a mistake bringing him here. Surely.
“Hi. We haven’t met yet.”
The stranger—easily the fittest man Charlie had ever seen—smiled at him shyly and rubbed the back of his neck. “Hi. I’m Nick Nelson.”
And oh.
Nick.
Nick was not a baker.
He was one of the hosts.
“Hello bakers! Welcome to the 2025 Bake Off Tent! It’s cake week!”
~
Charlie was a baker. A contestant on the show he had just been hired to present for. Charlie was smart. A PhD, smart. He was cool, too. Black ripped jeans, Doc Martens, and an oversized wool jumper. Charlie was also beautiful. Long, dark curls, striking blue eyes, dimples, a ridiculously sexy silver hoop on his right ear.
This was exactly what Nick wasn’t supposed to do. You weren’t supposed to fall for contestants on the show you were hosting. That was, without a doubt, completely unprofessional.

Heartstopper X Great British Bake Off. Going to be a slow-ish burn with a lot of mutual pining.

Eventually explicit. And by 'eventually' I mean almost immediately.
