    Summary

    Charlie Spring is finding his mid-twenties to be pretty ordinary; he lives with his two best friends, his love life’s a dud, and his new job at Roundabout Magazine is going just fine. But when his co-worker Isaac introduces Charlie to Roundabout’s Sports Editor Nicholas Nelson, Charlie finds his life becoming a bit less ordinary, and a lot more interesting.

    An alternate first meeting AU about discovering who you are, found family, and growing up during your twenties.

    Summary

    Once he’d started reading, he couldn’t stop, eyes filling with tears as he took in each and every venom-soaked word. A sob punched out of him, and before he knew it, he’d lost control entirely, awful sobs wracking through him as he leaned against the wall for support. Just as he was about to be grateful for the empty street, a woman stepped out of the building he leaned against, a look of pity in her eyes.

    “You’d better come on inside, love,” she said quietly, “You’ll catch your death out here. I’ll get you a cuppa.”

    Eyes flicking to the sign on the door, he saw that his temporary refuge from the torrential downpour was a tea shop. With a shy nod, he stepped inside, the woman behind him. She flipped the ‘Open’ sign to ‘Closed’, and ushered him further into the small shop.

    “You can sit,” she said, gesturing to a row of stools at the counter as she got to work, preparing two cups of tea, “What’s your name, love?”

    He sniffled, “I’m Charlie. Sorry about all of this - I’m just… lost, I guess.”

    Summary

    Nick and Charlie (and co) enter the Bake Off tent with varying amounts of success and chaos and plenty of baking. But, whether they win or not, both Charlie and Nick might just go home with more than a spot for Star Baker...

    Essentially just a very self-indulgent Great British Bake Off AU because I'm watching the latest season.
