He should be surprised, Carmy thinks. He should be appalled to discover that even when he’s not trying, his brain weaves Sydney into everything he does anyway. But when he sees the reflection of her scarf in his sauce, the first words that cross his mind are there it is, that’s what this is, finally.
OR: Carmy has a revelation when Sydney leaves him alone in The Bear's kitchen. Set during *that* scene in Season 3's "Apologies."

Summary
Every night before bed, she’d pray and pray, hoping for the same things:
First, she’d always be smart and have all her friends because she loved them a lot. She also wanted her family forever, and to fall in love when she was older and boys weren’t so gross and annoying. Second, she prayed that Carmy’s stutter would get better, and kids wouldn’t be so mean to him. Third, she prayed that her mom would get better, and things would be less scary. Fourth, and finally, she prayed her dad would come home so her mom and Mikey wouldn’t be so tired all the time.
(Later, Natalie would realize how adorable it was that she attempted to pray away alcoholism and a stutter, as well as manifest a happy life for her and her family with a present father. Childhood was a strange experience.)
or: a study on natalie berzatto, religion, and moving on.

Summary
The Illinois State ID card in her pocket with the name Sydney Adamu-Berzatto burns a hole through her. “Have you considered I don’t want any of your shit? And I don’t want you to speak for me. You’re such an asshole sometimes, Carmen.”
“I’m an asshole?” He huffs, stepping toward her. She does her very best to ignore how dizzy he still makes her when he’s this close, what a stupid color his eyes are.

Summary
“Coriolanus Snow intrigued by the sight of a died-out battlefield, who’d have thought?” Livia hums sweetly as she joins him by the painting that he is admiring.
Coriolanus’s lips twitch to a hint of a grin "they’ve perfectly captured the hopelessness of such a situation” he tells her.
“You speak like you’ve seen battle yourself”
"I've seen more than you have"
“Where, pray tell? In your play days as a peacekeeper in 12?" a malicious grin plays on her lips as she turns to him. "Isn’t that why you stick to the lower-class girls? Because you’ve gotten too used to the feeling of district filth, after your little taste of that songbird of yours?"
When his fingers snatch her wrist, her sky blue gaze finds his with determination. “Try as you might, Coriolanus Snow, but I am the very last person who will ever be frightened of you”
Coriolanus's gaze is venomous when it collides with hers and his lips brush against the shell of her ear. "I do urgently advice you to be"
---
A detailed study of the relationship and marriage of Coriolanus Snow and Livia Cardew.
From both POVs.

Summary
He had placed her hand there just last night, under the pretense that he was scared of ghosts. But here they were in broad daylight, safely away from the supposedly haunted woods, and his heart was thundering now more than ever. And looking into her eyes, he was sure. What was scary wasn’t her. It never had been.
So what was?
The fact that this could change?
It seemed likely enough; change had always frightened him before. In a lot of ways it still did. But as he took in the girl before him, as his eyes darted between the two of hers, a look of genuine curiosity peeking through her teasing countenance, he knew that that wasn’t right. And a terrible, selfish thought occurred to him: The fact that this could change wasn’t what frightened him.
It was the knowledge that it probably never would.

Summary
"Alright girls, ready to enter the Love Island Villa?"
Sydney just gives them a nervous nod while the five other girls shriek in excitement.
Fuck, she's still not sure if this is a good idea or not. She only applied to Love Island on a dare one night when she and her friend Janine were slightly drunk. She truly hadn't expected them to call her back and offer her a spot as one of the Casa girls for the new season. She thought about rejecting it at first, but then she realized it could be good exposure for her catering business.
However, she still can't wrap her head around the fact that the Carmen Berzatto - best CDC of the United States and creator of the best dish she's ever tasted - is here. Not in a Michelin-starred kitchen, not in a food competition show, but in the Love Island Villa. And in just a few minutes, she's going to meet him.

Summary
Carmy didn’t think he deserved nice things and no amount of convincing from Sydney could prove him wrong. But when he was jealous? He’d kneel before her, head between her legs, and tell her he’ll marry her, buy her a house, give her whatever she wanted as long as no one else got to touch her like this.

“We needa go. Like now.”
“Go where?”
Sydney takes a breath and looks up to the ceiling before back at him.
”To Nat. She’s stuck in traffic on the highway. Her water broke. She called me like five times, dude. We need to go.”
”Like now Syd? Like in the middle of service, Syd?”
”Yes Carm, it’s your fucking sister.”
“Who the fuck is going to handle this?” He gestures around the kitchen.
”Um, Richie can handle expo. He did when you were, um. He can handle it. And Tina is good. She’s got a good grasp on all the cooks now. Right T?”
”Yes, Jeff. You and Jeffrey Ballet go help Natalie. We got this. Right Marcus?”
”Yes, chef. We can do it, Carmy. You need to go be with your sister.” Marcus squeezes his shoulder as Carmy continues to stare at her with wide eyes.
”No I shouldn’t. I needa be here.” He stares between the three of them, pleading.
”I think you would hate yourself if you weren't there when she needed you.” Sydney whispers.
”Well it’s too fucking late for that.”

Summary
Sydney had left just over 3 months ago. She’d handed in her notice one morning, and Carmy watched her walk out of the door, barely saying goodbye. He didn’t fight for her, how could he? He was an excellent chef, but a piece of shit after all. She didn’t deserve that, in fact nobody deserved Sydney. He knew it the moment she walked into The Beef. She was overqualified, too good for this place. To bring her down to his fucked up level was cruel. She had an opportunity, a better one than where she was, so she went.
And Carmy let her go.

Summary
Sydney was horny, and Sydney was sad, and she was stressed out of her mind. Carmy was there, and he held her like he wanted her. That was more than enough.
Selfishly, destructively, she didn't want to stop. It was addictive, feeling wanted. Sydney couldn't make herself feel guilty about that.

6x05 fix it fic. i’m sorry but i find it so hard to believe that robby does not go after tory to check on her when everyone learns about her mother. writers please, what are we doing???
--
At this point in his life, Robby has gotten a pretty good sense of feeling when the other shoe is gonna drop. He’s used to disappointment, defeat, wears it like a second skin, so familiar to the sensations that he molds it to his skin, wields it like a mask so that when those feelings hit, he can convince everyone that he knows how to deal with it. He’s had plenty of practice.His mom, his dad, Mr. LaRusso, Sam, Kenny.
While learning and mastering karate has been all about balance for him, about not feeding kindling to emotions like anger, it’s also been about acceptance. About factors, emotions and people he can’t control. Acceptance for himself, so that things in his life don’t live in those eras of disappointment and defeat.
He tries his best not to allow old patterns to drown him.
The other shoe might drop, but that doesn’t mean he has to be defined by it.

Summary
Sydney takes a deep breath, not knowing what she is saying before she practically vomits out her words like…well, like how she actually vomited minutes ago.
“I’ll go back in there, but after that…”
She could say it; that Shapiro offered her a position. A position where she gets to have the first and final say, where, only after knowing her for less than a day in total, he knew just how capable she is, and trusts her. She could tell Carmy that she’s leaving after this shift, for good; doesn’t owe him an explanation…OR: How I would've imagined the Syd v. Carmy fight would've gone in season 3 (Feat. Sydney going absolutely feral, because I don't care if "Yelling isn't her style", hot girls have their limits)
