    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?”

    Summary

    “Well, long story short,” Chimney says, and Hen mutters 'thank god' under her breath. “Maddie and Buck are insane when it comes to board games and cannot be trusted around them together.”

    “Alright,” Buck argues instantly, face heated and he’s using his entire body weight to lean over and point in Chimney’s chest, so far that Ravi has to lean over and grab Buck’s jacket to make sure he doesn’t fall out his seat. “Look, that was one time, and –”

    “You guys drew my blood!”

    “You wouldn’t have gotten scratched if you didn’t just grab the chess board from us!”

    “You were yelling at each other! And who plays chess?”

    “Well,” Eddie starts diplomatically, but at the frantic clutch on his arm that Hen does, he wisely realizes it’s best to keep quiet and he promptly shuts his mouth.

    ***

    The Buckley siblings are not allowed to play board games together. Until they are. Please keep Eddie and Chimney in your thoughts.

    Summary

    "Guys, look what I found in my dumpster when I took my trash out before work."

    Buck holds his phone out proudly, a photo of quite possibly the ugliest cat Eddie has ever seen gracing the screen.

    "Jesus!" Chim exclaims, recoiling a little. "Buck, tell me you didn't pull a dead cat out of the trash."

    "He's not dead!" Buck insists, offended.

    "Are you sure?" Chim asks doubtfully.

    Or: Buck rescues a lovable disaster of a cat, who rescues him in return.

    Summary

    Christopher’s chest heaved once, followed by the sound of a stifled sob. Like a dam breaking, he hunched over slightly, shoulders shaking.

    He was crying. Why would he be—

    Oh.

    He looked up at Eddie, tears streaming down his red cheeks, the dark makeup around his eyes somehow unaffected.

    “I’m gay,” he confessed between shaky breaths, his voice cracking over the words.

    or

    Eddie refuses to raise himself

    Summary

    Everyone loves a good ‘high school sweethearts’ story.

    So that’s the version of the story that Eddie and Shannon tell.

    They leave out all of the bad parts.

    Well, not ‘bad’ per se.

    But who really wants to hear about the rise and inevitable fall of two repressed, gay, neurodivergent, catholic kids trying their hardest to cope in a world not built for them?

    Alternatively titled; She's A Lesbian, He's Gay, And They’re Both Autistic. Their Trainwreck Marriage Will Change Your Perception Of Love! (REAL! NOT CLICKBAIT!)
