Summary
Booker had imagined his penance very differently. He’d been planning seventy or so solid years getting drunk in Paris, wallowing in his own guilt – nothing new there, he’d been doing that for two hundred years already – and then taking the final thirty to get his shit together enough to be…something, when he met the others again. Less detestable, maybe.
Quynh had put paid to that notion, and he’d been hungover, unshaven and miserable when he’d seen them again.
Unfairly, Joe has shaved since Booker had last seen him. To throw people off their trail, to keep anyone from recognizing him, to keep Merrick’s people from recognizing him, and Booker swallows that down miserably with the rest of his shame. The torment of Joe looking like that, younger and sharper and more furious with Booker than ever, is nothing Booker doesn’t deserve.
Nicky still hasn’t even spoken to him.

Summary
But Stiles’ most distinguishing feature, besides the pretty eyes and the mussed hair? He makes a fucking mess every time he bakes, and Derek is the unlucky soul who’s stuck cleaning up after him. Seriously, if he didn’t know any better, he’d think Stiles was doing it just to screw with him.
(Or, the one in which Stiles is a Great British Bake Off contestant, and Derek is the long-suffering production assistant.)

or a great british bake off au in which louis cares about winning and winning only, harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and niall sticks his nose into other people's business. also featuring liam as louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and zayn as a macaron connoisseur.

Summary
“Hmm.” Kono nodded while studying Cath’s glum face. “Well, screw the boys,” she announced candidly. “We’ll have our own version of co-worker fraternization and show them.” She gave Cath a cheeky grin.
Cath looked at her and let out a surprised laugh. “Boys? Didn’t realize they’re still referred to as boys at your age.
“They are when they’re punks like the guys we were with.”
After Catherine and Kono break up with Steve and Adam, they grow closer.
