    Summary

    “Yes, I know,” he said, wearily. “It’s the pretending. It’s demeaning to playact at finding you tolerable.”

    “Precisely!!” said Mercy with an emphatic gesture. “I cannot abide Teacher thinking that we’ve settled into domestic bickering after millennia at each other’s throats.”

    Mercy and Augustine have a late-night conversation. It devolves from there.

    Summary

    “You’re stubborn and a hothead. You’re impossible to work with and you’re stuck in the past. Nancy said you’d be hard work but this is fucking ridiculous. I’m here to do a job. You won’t let me change or even suggest anything.”

    “Not true. I did change the turmeric for saffron.”

    “Yeah and you’re about this close to jumping off a bridge before admitting that it actually does taste better.”

    Steve could strangle him.

    Because yes. The saffron does taste better. The saffron tastes so much better and the dish now makes Steve’s tastebuds soar and his eyes water and the only thing worse than admitting Eddie is correct right now, is admitting that that dish is miles fucking better since Eddie puts his hands on it.

    And Steve finds himself wondering for a split fucking moment in between the rage he’s feeling, if everything is better with Eddie’s hands on it.

    or

    Son of famous, michelin-star chef, Steve Harrington is trying to gain a star of his own after a stint in rehab that left him with a lack of inspiration, until his restaurant manager Nancy has an idea of her own to add a spark back into the kitchen.
