Before reading, I'd like to clarify that, no, I haven't disappeared. I'm simply writing each chapter one by one and planning to publish them one by one each Saturday at 12:30pm when I've finished writing them all. Probably a different time for you but whatever. The book will be finished when I publish all the chapters, so strap in, keep your hands and feet in the vehicle and enjoy the ride. And trust me, it's gonna be a long one.
══ 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...

Starting from Scratch [DeadPlate]
What if in ending 1 of DeadPlate, Manon was actually alive? What if she purposefully ignored Rody's calls? What happened after Rody called her? This is an slow-burn story where Manon didn't actually die and lives as she proceeds to moved on from the situation she had with Rody, and where Vincent wouldn't be so psychotic. Rody's a wreck as he goes through series of negative emotions that fills his head, in which Vincent would help him, even if didn't like displaying vulnerability around anyone at all. Will Rody and Vincent become best friends? Enemies? Or lovers? -This is my first time making a story that isn't a oneshot, and I'm actually going to make this into a short series of mentally unstable Rody Lamoree and a less psychotic Vincent Charbonneau. This will probably be my practice story to help myself and get better in writing and in grammar. -Feel free to give any suggestions if you'd like me to add anything to the story! Just nothing weird or creepy. TW: Swearing, Smut [ART BY: rainny_leaf In X/Twitter] [Further TW's will be added soon into each chapters. I didn't exactly intent to add anything sexual, though... wouldn't that make the story much more engaging anyways?]Complete
ᴍᴇɴᴅ ᴍʏ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ
(Rody x Vincent) - Dead plate fanfiction - Rody has a chance to get over Manon after a event that happens, he takes it gladly. Yet soon his heart calls out for someone else, more specifically, Vincent. Vincent is a renowned chef who had a bad experience with love last year. When Rody starts to pursue him, Vincent is not ready. In his mind he doesn't wanna get hurt again. In Rody's mind, he loves Vincent with his whole heart, he just has to prove it. (This is my version of Dead Plate without Vincent having cannibalistic qualities). (Cover art is not mine, I have just edited it.)
It Was Only A Cut In Another Universe
Vincent has been fired from at least ten jobs and is in desperate need of money. Luckily he scored a position at a famous bistro. Though shortly after he is hired he starts to notice he finds him oddly charming. But Vincent is dating Manon surely he only likes women right?Complete
That Stupid Little Waiter
"Chasing petty romances isn't the end-all be-all in life." Vincent was not a man who could easily be swindled with anything, especially not love. Love is not something he wishes to bother with. He already had everything he could've wanted. Fame as a chef, a world-renowned restaurant of his own, and a nice apartment on top of said restaurant. What more could he ask for? Well, it was possibly the attention of the stupid little brunet waiter that worked for him, and he didn't even know it yet. (Dead Plate, but what if Vincent was normal and didn't have psychopathic tendencies)Complete
The Fifth Ending (Dead Plate)
Vince x Rody if it wasn't toxic! We love Rodent here, anyway in this Vince is less "yandere" and just more awkward lover boy, Manon is a [spoiler] queen, and Rody is the same as always. I'm so sorry if I make Rody 'too soft' I suck at writing characters. and same with if I mischaracterised any of them. This is taken me about 2-3 months and I still haven't finished. I hope this suffices as a cute fluff Rodent fanfic <3 Theres nothing too sexual. THE ARTWORK IS OFFICIAL DEAD PLATE ARTWORK IT IS NOT MINE I DID EDIT IT A BIT BUT NONE THE LESS IT BELONGS TO RACHELDRAWSTHISComplete
Dead Plate x Reader
Y/N gets a new job at La Gueule de Saturne. After her first day in the resturant, she makes a new friend, Rody. IDK what else to write here, I'm not good at descriptions 😭 ---Read the introduction page for more information---Complete
Know that You Know
Sequel to Tailored to You. Dwelling on unspoken words, that was what Rody often found himself doing in his entire life. Dwelling on the what-ifs, dwelling on his hidden feelings for Manon, dwelling on the many things he couldn't say after she passed, and dwelling on his desires for Vincent to look his way and fall into his arms. So when those unspoken words became known to Vincent on that faithful night, the same night on which Vincent told Rody his own secret feelings, Rody thought that was the end of it, for he had already had everything he could ever want in his life. A thriving career, a life surrounded by people that love and respect him, and a beautiful partner. That was until, he found himself dwelling on another thing. A question. And the answer to it, Rody knew that he had already known long before. [Separated smut for all your needs] [Mention of Rody x Manon]Complete
