    Summary

    When Carmy’s piece of shit father finally dies, the news doesn’t come through family. It’s through a lawyer. An older man with a painter’s brush mustache, a Saint Laurent checkered cashmere suit, and a Chopard on his wrist. The inheritance is clear, his ill-gotten estate is to be split between his remaining biological children. The only issue is the two clauses to the hefty windfall heading their way.

    One - If any sibling can’t meet the standards of the clause, the other siblings can not share their inheritance or they forfeit their own.

    Two - They must be legally married for at least one year before receiving their share.

    When Carmy can see the dreams he’d be able to make a reality with that cash fade away he’d blurted out that he was engaged without thinking. Engaged to Sydney. The only issue with Carmy’s grand plan was Sydney hadn’t spoke to him since he left The Bear. Almost two years ago.

    Summary

    “Take a seat, Ms. Adamu,” Carmy's agent says, gesturing to the folding chair next to him. She sits down, sliding her chair closer to Carmy's as she does. He can feel the warmth of her from the mere inches of space between them. The agent drops a heavy binder down on the table. “Mr. Berzatto, Ms. Adamu, let me be the first to welcome you to the Witness Protection Program.” | A Sydcarmy Witness Protection AU for the "Strange Currencies" day of Sydcarmy Week 2024 and the "You're Leaving" AU day of Sydcarmy Week 2025

    Summary

    The apprenticeship was emailed to her by one of her favorite professors right as decided it was time to wrap things up on Sheridan Road. She submitted the notice of dissolution for her LLC and her landlord had told her she had a month to find somewhere else to live when the email with the information about Chef Berzatto’s apprenticeship was sent to her. Working with Berzatto was one of her only options and a long shot, but her current state of affairs left her at a loss for what to do next. This apprenticeship sounded like her saving grace and last hope before she gave up on the culinary industry as a whole. A place that she never felt truly welcomed in or like she belonged.

    Summary

    They had a whole lot of history in New York — late nights, trauma, and a kitchen that chewed them up. But this isn’t New York. It’s Chicago.
    And when Sydney walks into The Beef asking for a job, Carmen tells her to get the fuck out.
    Because whatever held them together back then doesn’t mean shit now.
    Not after how it ended.

    Summary

    Sydney should be happy. She married the man of her dreams, lives in a beautiful mansion in the suburbs of Chicago and shops all day. She should be happy except her husband doesn’t talk her these days, she spends too much time with her battery operated friends and she’s oh so lonely and unhappy. She wants a divorce. There is just one problem, you don’t divorce one of the heads of the Italian mafia, unless you want to lose that head. So Sydney came up with a foolproof plan, run away. Except it not so foolproof when her dismissive and estranged husband decides he will burn down the world to get her back. Now they are stuck in a dark and seductive cat and mouse game. Only Sydney’s not sure if she is the mouse or cat.
