Medium Latte for Ell-yot Hayul
[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...

Earth, Wind and Oh God He's On Fire.
Synopsis: Orion Westbrook just wants a quiet life. As a barista and certified first-aider, his biggest concerns are keeping the espresso machine working and his plants alive. His sanctuary is The Cosmic Grind, a quirky coffee shop that happens to be located perilously close to the Baxter Building. He's used to superhero shenanigans, but he's not used to them personally ruining his day. Johnny Storm is used to getting what he wants. As the Human Torch, he's used to awe, adoration, and flustered attraction. So when a handsome, unimpressed barista hands him a coffee in a mug labeled DUMBASS and douses him with a fire extinguisher, he's instantly, infuriatingly intrigued. Forced proximity leads to late-night conversations, accidental babysitting of the world's most powerful baby, and a slow-burn connection that threatens to melt Orion's carefully constructed walls. But when a villain's attack forces Orion's latent earth-based powers to awaken, their fledgling relationship is thrown into the spotlight. Can a fiery superhero who loves the spotlight and a grounded barista who hates it find common ground? Or will their different worlds-and the dangers that come with them-extinguish the spark for good?Complete
