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?

Genre: Romance | Mystery | Slow Burn | Urban Slice of Life Description: You live a quiet, ordinary life-working shifts at a cozy pastry and drinks café, exchanging texts with your overprotective brother Jake, and returning to the silence of your small apartment at night. Everything is safe. Predictable. Yours. But lately, something has shifted. He's always there. On the corner. Across the street. Sometimes on his bike, helmet resting on his knee. Sometimes at a table with nothing but black coffee. He doesn't speak much. He watches. At first, you brush it off. Coincidence. But days pass. Then weeks. You begin to feel his eyes before you even see him. He doesn't flirt. He doesn't approach. But he stays. Drawn by a presence you can't explain, you start to wonder: Who is he? And why does it feel like he's been waiting for you to notice? In a city of noise and people who pass like shadows, his silence crashes into you louder than anything else. And soon, you'll have to decide whether to shut the door-or let the stranger on the bike in. --- I do not own these characters besides the female lead, this does not apply to their actual lives and is made purely for fun.

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.
Before You Replied
Digi's summer plan was simple: work at her family's restaurant, hang out with friends, and stay out of trouble before senior year. Then Beck showed up. She didn't know he existed a month ago, and now - after accidentally texting the wrong number - he was everywhere. On the beach she's claimed as her own. In her parent's restaurant. At family events he had no reason to be at. And every time they cross paths, he managed to pull a little more of her world into his. What started as an accidental encounter turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and a connection Digi can't explain - or shake, despite how hard she tries. But Beck has his own past, and the closer they get, the more she realises that some people don't just walk into your life. Sometimes, they crash into it and leave nothing the same. This a story of chance meetings, cultural expectations, healing, and the kind of love they never saw coming - but couldn't walk away from. Hi guys, I hope you fall in love with Before You Replied, as much as I did while writing it. If you're into slow burns, men who are soft for their women, badass ladies, forbidden love, culture clashes, and characters who feel a little like people you know and love - then this one's for you.
