    Summary

    “Mum’s got an orchard, back home. Only a few trees. This time of year it looks like it’s been snowing, blossom everywhere. And then in May, we have to pick them. Me and Joe. Takes the whole day.”

     

    “So, these ones all gonners?”

     

    “Oh no, they’ll grow again when the stones rot. You’ll end up with more trees than before.”

    Summary

    Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.

    or,

    Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”

    Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

    Summary

    “I believe more in patterns. There are certain equations that always lead back to the same loops—or seem to, anyway; infinity is vast. But sometimes it takes much longer to reach the loop, often without a clear reason.”

    Remus squints. “Are you describing soulmates? With maths?”

    “No. Well...” Sirius’s thumb massages his knuckles. “Maybe.”

    “Do you think your husband is your soulmate?”

    A long pause. When he turns, Sirius’s eyes are on the ceiling. “I think... that in another life, I would’ve really liked just cleaning his flat with him.”
