"𝘠𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦." ⠀⠀A table set with a red cloth. The entrance: Manon, Marieanne Vacher. And then comes the main course - the house's most alluring dish: Vincent Charbonneau. ⠀⠀Rody Lamoree, now the rising star of French cuisine, wears the crown that once belonged to his predecessor - the very chef who has just returned. When they meet again, too many things awaken to name at once, but perhaps the closest word for what stirs is "hunger". Just like recognizing a wound that will never heal, and choosing to lick its blood instead of covering it. Years later, Vincent reemerges - not as a renowned chef, but as just another man underneath Rody's wing. And for the first time in years, Rody can't read the intentions behind Vincent's eyes, he only knows one thing for sure: in this game of predator and prey, he'll have to devour before being devoured. Everyone is starving - but only one of them will leave this banquet of misery truly full.

An original modern DEAD PLATE AU by yours truly, the one and only, whelxty! ══ ᐥ ♥︎ ᐥ ══ Rody Lamoree is the host of a romance show, targeting young chefs who are single and ready to mingle with other young chefs! Hosting along side his co-host and best friend in the whole world, Manon Vacher, their goal is to help the lonely, lovesick people of France to find the one for them. Rody can't cook however, and neither can Manon, so don't ever ask how they even came up with this idea... There will be a select few of the 12 contestants carefully chosen to compete and find their true love in someone else's cooking. And everyone is happy. Well... Not everyone... Meet Vincent Charbonneau, a tall, quiet, stoic young man with absolutely no desire to 'mingle'. I mean, who the hell would want to be forced onto a romance show if you didn't even know? This ravenette man who's fangirl worthy starring as one of our 12 contestants will have to stay for a bit, not wanting to upset and fuck up his chances of possible fame by leaving the show immediately. And yet... A certain auburn catches his eye with a flutter, and he decides that he can stay a bit longer... ══ ᐥ ♥︎ ᐥ ══ This will have around 15-25 parts/episodes because I'm REALLY excited to do this! Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this rollercoaster of a fic 👍 (Possible smut warning?!?!) #5 - originalau 15/7/2025 #1 - rodicent 07/09/2025 (omg!!!)
