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?”

A long marauders’ era story following multiple povs through the years of Hogwarts up until the beginning of the second war.

Summary
In the autumn of 1911, Lord Sirius Black feels trapped between the freedom of youth and the duties of adulthood. Struck by the fear of madness and the prospect of an unwanted marriage, he finds himself entangled in an illicit affair with Remus Lupin, the groundskeeper of the family estate. Together, they brave the shadows of an unspeakable existence and scramble for love half-blinded.
~
’Forgive me,’ Sirius wanted to say, ’for feeling and wanting as I do. Forgive me for how I have muddied you in my mind, for the way I behold you.'
'Forgive me, for how I have sullied our friendship.'
'Forgive me, my love, for how I have stolen the sweetness of your morality so I might imagine the sweetness of your lips.’
'Forgive me.'

Summary
Sirius studied Remus’ face. He was curious what he thought of all of this, the only one of them who didn’t have a mark– theoretically– and the only one with a muggle parent. Muggles didn’t get marks, he knew. If Remus’ parents were soulmates, then they wouldn’t know it. He wondered if there was a way to tell, though. If they could just feel it, somehow, even without the help of some magical fate.
Because it seemed like something you would just know, just from being near someone, from being close enough to them, from being in the same space. Like their souls would attract like magnets or like water droplets traveling down a window, waiting to merge until the last moment when they realized they were on the same path, and then they’d become one.
Was that fate, Sirius wondered?
He realized Remus was staring back at him, his eyes puzzled and curious and warm.
Sirius looked away first and didn’t look back, pushing down something heavy and impossible in his chest.
