    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

    “You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”

    “And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”

    “I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

    Summary

    He presses his back against the cold wall, feeling like he’s about to die. The panic attacks have gotten worse as well. They’re longer now, more difficult to control.

    He doesn’t try to picture Sydney’s face, because if he does, he would see her like the night that she left. Angry, and sad, and disappointed.

    Thinking about her doesn’t help anymore. It makes it even worse. And it’s his fucking fault.

    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.
