    Summary

    “That weird redhead guy? All he does is stare angrily at our food,” Epel says, leaning over Trey’s crouched position to wipe a dash of icing sugar off the window. “He looks mad all the time.”
    “Maybe he’s on a diet,” Silver suggests.
    “Maybe he’s gluten free,” Ruggie adds.
    “Maybe he’s homophobic,” says Rook. When several pairs of eyes stare at him pointedly, he responds, “what? Are we not all children of the rainbow?”
    “You talk like a millennial self-help book,” Jamil says, rolling his eyes.
    “And anyway,” Ace adds, “it’s not like we’re all wearing name tags that say 'I Like Dick'.”

    In the middle of the concrete jungle corporate district of the Night Raven Business Hub, Clover Bakery sticks out as a welcome interruption with its generous doling out of baked goods, advice, and warmth. After years of uneventful peace, it's about high time that the Bakery's in for a serving of romance and a heaping of chaos.
    Or: a story about learning how to let people in, the practically magical healing ability of good food, and how to make the perfect strawberry tart.

    Summary

    Ever since there’s been a strange, electric tension running through their group, through them all as individuals; he’s practiced with them and helped them with their scenes and been deeply, utterly unmoored by how horrifically dysfunctional they all are - he’d always thought, when he first came here, that they were something to look up to. Something to want to emulate, want to be, that their group, their little clique of borderline codependency was something he wanted to have.

    Now he can’t imagine ever hating the idea of something more.
