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
He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom.

Summary
The pilot’s blond hair whips to the side as Dabi’s blow swipes over his ducking head, and Dabi doesn’t have time to course-correct before he feels the blunt end of a bo staff jab him in the ribs.
“One to zero,” Takami says, dancing back to reset on feet that barely seem to touch the floor. His expression is fierce and calculating as he seems to ask himself the question every ranger gets drilled into them at the Academy.
Are we drift compatible?

Summary
“How have you been?” his doctor asks him after a moment.
“Fine,” Roy responds, calmy.
He is, really. Mostly he feels numb. And tired. And his scars hurt, sure. On the whole, nothing out of the ordinary.
“Have you been experiencing any pain in the areas with scar tissue?”
Every waking moment. But it’s fine. Really.
“Not much.”
Harris frowns. “I want to help you, you know,” he tells him.
“I know,” he brings himself to say. His doctor sighs heavily.
“How are things at work?” Harris asks, after a minute.
Roy has to look away, suddenly. It doesn’t take long for the numbness to wash over him again though, thankfully.
“Fine too.”
(Or, Roy's still healing wounds, excessive work and an argument with his Lieutenant slowly take their toll on him.)

Summary
Hawks greedily begins sucking in as much oxygen as fast as he could. Every breath he takes caused his chest to tighten and a sharp pain to flare up at his sides. His vision was swimming in front of him, only adding to the horrible dizziness of his mind. When he finally gets his bearings, he looks down at his hand.
Only to freeze when he sees a single white flower petal resting in the palm of his hand.
