    Summary

    “It’s called -” Francis huffed into the phone, commended his soul to a god he wasn’t quite sure he still believed in. “Right now, it’s called…” He sighed. “It’s called Barrow’s Baking Boys.”
      
    When Francis tried out for what he thought was Bake Off, he didn't expect to end up on a knock-off run by an aging baker desperate for a legacy. But now he's here, trying to keep up with the younger bakers and their flashy piping, avoid the eyes of cameras that only seem to catch him at his worst, and do his best not to be distracted by that posh bastard with the perfect hair.

    Ten weeks, twelve contestants, two hundred and twenty five bakes.

    One winner.

    Let the first season of Barrow's Baking Boys Begin!

    Summary

    Francis blinked a few more times, and the James in the mirror blinked back. His mind began shouting something at him, but Francis was still too befuddled from sleep to heed its cries. He lifted a hand to his cheek. The image in the mirror did the same.
    Francis pinched himself on the cheek, hoping to wake up from this very, very strange dream. In the mirror, James’ large hand pinched his cheek.
    Francis screamed.

    They say that to really know a man, you should walk a mile in his shoes.
    James and Francis aren't sure this is what they meant.

    Summary

    Peter blinks. The eye-searing font and familiar red-and-black outfit immediately snap him out of his sleepiness. When he clicked on the link for SuperCuddles.net, he didn’t think what he’d find was - well, this:

    A full-page, professional photo of someone dressed up as Deadpool - complete with katanas - in terry-cloth pajamas, arms spread wide in the universal gesture of hug me! The words emblazoned at the top, in what must be ninety point font, read Super Cuddles: When Your Need for Touch is Super!!

    This can’t be the real Deadpool - can it? No way. The real Deadpool certainly has a penchant for physical affection, but he’s an assassin. Being a professional cuddler is, like, the total opposite of killing people for hire.

    Right?

    Summary

    Clark Kent woke up, ate breakfast, went to work—the same way he did every day. Ordinary.

    Except for the part where Superman hadn't been seen in at least a week and nobody knew why, Lois was acting kind of weird, and Bruce Wayne was insisting that Clark was the only reporter he'd allow to run a feature on the crashed alien ship in the park, since Wayne Enterprises had been granted control of the site. And the way Clark felt every time Wayne looked at him a little too long definitely wasn't helping.

    But it was fine. Clark was normal, there was nothing wrong with him, and everything was fine.

    Summary

    “I have a bottle of champagne, four champagne flutes, one engagement ring to go into one of those champagne flutes, and a note to deliver it all to table 34 with dessert,” Tomas explains, wide-eyed, throwing his hand back to the prep station where said champagne is waiting on ice next to four flutes and a small ring box.

    “Okay?”

    “Okay so there’s two men and two women and I have no idea who’s getting proposed to. I’m not even 100% on who came with who."

    Summary

    As Eddie lays on the hot pavement bleeding out, his eyes locked on Buck’s bloody face, his hand reaching out towards him, what washes over him isn’t his hard-earned stillness nor is it shock.

    It’s clarity, edging slowly into focus from off-stage.

    And when he wakes up in the hospital bed and registers a soft, slim hand in his, he thinks, "no, that’s not it".

    “Well, in my experience,” Raylan said, brushing off his hat and staving down the sick surprise that had twisted his gut at the sight of Boyd’s name. “There’s one thing most folks have in common, irrespective of time passed or time changed. They stay dead.”

    Summary

    Eddie finally makes it home from the war. Honourably discharged after the wounds he suffered on Peleliu, he's left with the realisation that he has nothing. No family to return to, no job, and no friends. The United States Marine Corps took the life he offered, but left him still breathing. All he knows for certain is the rumble of his pickup and the long drive ahead of him – towards Lawrence, Massachusetts. That’s where his captain hailed from. He can still remember Andy telling him so, on a quiet night alone together.

    Eddie doesn’t know if he’ll find rejection from a man who’s moved on, or a grieving family over a fresh gravestone. He won't bet on a third option.
