The Bear has survived another year. The food is better than it's ever been. The reviews are finally saying what Carmy has always believed they were capable of. Unfortunately, glowing reviews don't pay suppliers, and the restaurant is still balancing on the edge of financial ruin. When Uncle Jimmy secures an investment from seasoned executive chef Grant Reilly, everyone expects another consultant in an expensive jacket with opinions they didn't ask for. Instead, Grant arrives with a knife roll, an apron, and one condition. He's here to cook. Ada Kalinowski has spent her entire life in the Berzatto family. Jimmy's niece by blood, Berzatto by everything else, she's the person who keeps The Bear standing when everyone around her is threatening to fall apart. Chef de Cuisine, peacemaker, problem-solver, the woman everyone instinctively turns to when service goes sideways or life becomes too much. She knows how to carry other people's burdens without complaint. She's just forgotten how to put any of them down. Grant is unlike anyone she's ever worked beside. Quiet where the Berzattos are loud. Measured where they are impulsive. A chef whose reputation was built on relentless excellence, but who has quietly walked away from the restaurant that made him one of the most respected names in American fine dining. The attraction between them is immediate. So is the decision to ignore it. As months pass and The Bear fights for its future, friendship grows into respect, respect into trust, and trust into something neither of them ever intended. But Ada already has a life built on decades of loyalty - to Richie, to Mikey's memory, to Jimmy, to Carmy, to Sugar, and to the family that raised her as one of their own. This is a story about grief that never quite leaves, kitchens that become homes, impossible loyalty, second chances, and the quiet, devastating question of whether loving someone new means betraying the people who came before them.

Merfolk were the very foundation of Shota Aizawa's childhood. Growing up with an absentee mother and a father who worked hard to keep them comfortably afloat, Aizawa found himself growing up faster than most kids his age. Mature beyond his years, he still derived joy from the stories his father would tell him at night. Sitting on the end of his bed, his dad would spin tales of finned creatures who convened with dolphins and wrestled sharks. Shimmering scales and magic that surpassed what was thought to be possible with quirks alone. Stories of seashell hoards and kingdoms built of colorful coral and carefully polished stone. It was one of the few things Shota could look back on and smile. The mere mention of them brought a light feeling to his chest and a shine to his eyes. Though, he never would've thought those myths could be true. (I do NOT own the cover art)

Y/N was just a "normal" teenager-at least, that's what he thought. Until he discovers a strange sword that claims to be his partner, his Sacred Gear, and something far more dangerous than a mere weapon. More story info: My first time making a fan fic and my first time reading DxD so this might be shit. I'll try to release weekly with some breaks in between, so if there's a large date gap between chapters, that's why. One chapter of this story is around one or two chapters of the manga/novel. Also all artwork is not from me and are credited to the original artists, well some are Ai generated cause I can't draw for shit and it's hard to find Jesmon armor fanarts. So yeah, enjoy or whatever.
