Vicente remembers the lights that shone within the city he was born in, and the darkness he and his family have been dragged through in his eighteen years of life. Having jumped from home to home the moment he was born, he prays, he hopes for a place he can settle down in, as bright and beautiful as his birthplace.

This is the biography of a boy who cannot fit in, forced to take up the role of caretaker of his younger siblings, too good to be bad and too bad to be good - unremarkable, insignificant, malcontent with his malcontent. This is a telling of family, love, friendship, good food and home.All Rights Reserved

All we left behind by Ili-Akkaman91

Perhaps he will never know, but she wishes they could go back to those days, when the future seemed to be bright and there were just the two of them, and their friends, their youth, their promises. She loves him, too. But now, when happiness has faded and their promises have been broken, love seems just pointless. They don't know that love is the only thing that can save them again, as it had done once.

A recipe of love by noah19_19

Set in the heart of the Victorian era, A recipe of love follows the story of Margaret Sinclair, a recently widowed woman of considerable wealth. Her late husband left her a life of luxury, but Margaret soon realizes that despite her riches, she has no sense of purpose. Longing for fulfillment and something to occupy her time, she decides to take up baking-an unexpected venture for a woman of her social standing. Every Saturday, Margaret finds herself in the warm, aromatic kitchen of her grand estate, learning to bake alongside Nathaniel, the charming and humble nephew of her cook. Edward, recently in search of work, agrees to teach Margaret in exchange for a modest income. As they bake breads, pastries, and cakes together, Margaret begins to appreciate the simple pleasures of life. Each week brings them closer as they share stories, laughter, and eventually, a bond that transcends their social differences. With every new recipe, their connection deepens, and what begins as a simple hobby turns into something far more meaningful. As Margaret discovers her hidden talents, she also starts to realize that perhaps love, much like baking, is an art that requires time, patience, and the right ingredients.

The Tea Shop [mxm] by AmelieThompson

Elliot is, and has always been, stuck in his home town. Sure, it's a fairly large city. Sure, all his family and friends are there. Sure, he has a job he absolutely adores. But he still isn't happy. No matter how much he loves working in Auntie Mae's Tea shop, baking cakes day in and day out, he can't find it in himself to be happy. He knows exactly what's wrong; he has a dream. His dream is to one day move to Paris and open his own bakery. Baking is his passion, and he wants to devote his life to it. The only problem is that he can't seem to get away from his current life to start a new one. He once told himself his studies were holding him back. When he was done with those, he used the excuse of renovating the entire Tea Shop. Then, when he finally couldn't find any more excuses, he gave up. He knew he was waiting for something to happen. The problem? He didn't know what. But what about that man who recently started visiting the shop? He definitely wasn't one of the regulars; his face, you would recognize. He comes every evening at six o'clock, and stays for an hour. Could he be what Elliot is waiting for? *Deals with self-esteem issues which I've been told might be triggering*
