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
The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.
The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

Summary
A Modern AU Marauders texting with prose fic set at University.
Mainly Wolfstar - Will they? Won’t they? (They obviously will...)
And a little bit of Jily too.This is my first multi-chaptered fic, so any feedback, good or bad or any tags you think need to added then please do let me know!
Rated E for explicit sexual content, but these chapters are all marked in the notes and easy to skip without interrupting the plot 😊
EDIT: As of 28/07/21 I’m going through and adding bits/taking bits out so it flows better with the other parts in the series - let me know if you spot any plot holes that need sorting!
