    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

    Charlie wants his ex back. The problem is he’s in a new relationship, and this time it’s an open one.

    He knows they go to swingers parties together. He wants to go too, to prove he could be into that sort of thing. It's couples only. Not ideal, but also not a problem he can't solve.

    He needs to find a fake boyfriend, and fast. Enter Nick Nelson from work, serial womaniser and all-round irritating human being. He’s not Charlie’s first pick, but he’s probably the only person crazy and horny enough to go along with it. After all, it’s an opportunity for him to get laid as much as he wants while Charlie attempts to seduce his ex all over again. Win win.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Lindon is drowning.

    He’s a tall man, and a strong one. Taller and stronger than Svir. Not as tall as the waves breaking one by one over his head, or as strong as the pull of the moon dragging them inexorably forward. The tide on its way in, the sea in its customary on-and-off embrace of the land. And Lindon, struggling fruitlessly: chains glinting a dark and ugly gray under the bleak, cloud-filtered rays of the morning sun.

    Svir can see it all. He can hear it, too. The clatter of the chains, the crash of the waves, the agony of Lindon’s cries. His own name. His own heartbeat in his ears. Loud. Not loud enough to drown any of the rest of it out.

    (Baru Cormorant has just become Falcrest's first truly unbound cryptarch. Svirakir wishes she hadn't.)

    Summary

    Jim wrote a romance novel just to prove he could. Then someone leaked it on the public Starfleet server, and suddenly his embarrassingly smutty and sentimental Human/Vulcan love story is all over campus. Luckily for Jim, no one knows that he’s the author. Unluckily for Jim, someone forwarded the novel to the staff of the Vulcan embassy. Now, every Vulcan in San Francisco is reassessing the logical merits of taking Human bondmates.

     

    Spock reads a Human/Vulcan romance novel because he can hardly avoid it. Suddenly, he is consumed by the need to locate the author, ascertain their wellbeing, and instruct them in the way of Vulcan mating bonds. Luckily for Spock, it doesn't take long to identify the author as Jim Kirk. Unluckily for Spock, Jim is unconscious and surrounded by interested Vulcans who also read the book.
