    Summary

    Adrian desperately needs a change. Life in the city isn't as glamorous as it looks and he feels like he's gonna get swallowed by the stresses if he doesn't get a change so, when he receives a chance to change everything, he takes it, not realizing the friendships, family that actually cares and potential romance that can bloom in the small city of Pelican Town. It's easy to open up the more reserved resident with his cooking and it helps that he cooks for about twenty too.

    Summary

    Every day, it felt easier and easier to get to the point he finished eating yesterday and think ‘Well, another bite couldn't hurt’. He started stumbling out of the mess hall almost every day, passing out as soon as he could fling himself into his groaning desk chair, and dozing until he was woken up an hour later by Wells asking him to try a new recipe. It became strangely normal to pass the time after work by getting boozy root beer floats at the ice cream parlor, to settle into a constant, low-grade fullness. It was easy to think he'd be there forever, putting out deceptive little sugar bombs and getting reports back about how well they were selling. Everything was blissful and time moved like thick toffee, so slow he hardly noticed how he was changing until it smacked him in the face.
