For fans who have wondered what if from the start, Slow Burn imagines the answer. In the hidden corners of The Bear's kitchen, Carmy and Sydney have shared everything but their hearts. Nights of tension, loyalty, and quiet boundaries kept them focused - until one shift changed everything.
This is the moment where friendship blurs, where respect collides with desire, and where two chefs finally ask: What if we let ourselves feel it?

happy to be in your shadow // tim wright x reader
A self-indulgent Tim Wright x reader fanfic, I luff him!!! Possible slowburn, will have hurt/comfort :)) Two depressed people licking each other's wounds basically hehehe WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR MARBLE HORNETS!!! I will try to make it easy for people that haven't seen the series to follow along :) Y/N works at a convenience store that cigarette smoking sideburns having Tim Wright frequents. Ever since Y/N first interacted with him, they have started to see things. Y/N is drawn into his world, whether influenced by The Operator or not. "Curiosity killed the cat." He says, but what happens if someone with a bit of brazen (and possibly foolish) curiosity is just what Tim needs in his darkest hours? I hope that at least one Tim Wright loving individual loves reads this :) If I fuel one person's love for him then my duty will be fulfilled hehehehahaha Also I don't edit the chapters much so expect misspellings
EVERY SECOND OF IT | The Bear Fanfic | Chef Luca x OC
"They built The Bear out of fire, grief, and love. And she was the quiet spark in all of it." Chiara Berzatto (OC) × Luca | The Bear Premise Summary: Chiara "Chi" Berzatto - Carmy's older twin - has been working in Italy for years, where she quietly fell for Luca during their time in Copenhagen. They've kept their relationship long-distance, with scheduled calls, shared recipes, and emotional check-ins. After Mikey's death, Chi returns to Chicago to help at The Beef... but keeps her personal life private. Her return coincides with the chaos of Season 1, and she becomes the quiet, grounding presence the restaurant (and Carmy) needs. *this is an alternative universe story | non-canon compliant Disclaimer: This is a transformative, non-commercial fanwork created under the principles of Fair Use.

Nicolas Berzatto's always been the baby of the family. So much so, that's exactly what they called him. Baby. The youngest son at fifteen, he always feels like the world is too much. Too loud, too mean, too intense, too sad, too angry, just too much. It gets his mind running, his thoughts dragging him into a pit of anxiety and stress. But at the same time, he always had his brother, Mikey, to pull him out of the pit, slips headphones on his ears, and tell him to "Shut Up and Listen." Now Mikey's dead. As a doornail. And Nic's unfortunately alive, left to navigate the world with his remaining two siblings and Richie Jerimovich. Carmy's back from New York, transforming The Beef into someplace unrecognizable, yet achingly familiar. There's a new chef named Sydney who helps to teach Nic that life's worth living, even in the pit. Nic doesn't know the first thing about restaurants, but he does know one thing. No matter how much you hate your family, they're still, unfortunately, your family. Not by blood, but by something else. For the first time, Nic has to pull himself from the pit, put his headphones on, Shut Up and Listen.
