my language is a tongue that licks the remains of my heart, my language is the after taste of bitter lemons stuck on the roof of my mouth.

my language is a tongue irreplaceable, indefinable and infinite, it keeps me on the edge and wraps around me like warm nights in spring.

my language hurts when i speak, kicks the back of my teeth when i beg for it to be let out, my language is a blubbering mess of words that i don't understand anymore because your language has contaminated mine.

i stomach my language for days on sticky humid nights, most when i talk to you, it stays / and stays / and stays and then gradually i forget, forget the meaning it was supposed to hold when it was still in my stomach.

on some days my language is the air i breathe, it's the oxygen that runs around in my lungs and the blood that i feel flows on my wrist, my language is a remain of the remains.

i like having my heart broken. it reminds me that i have one to break.

but sometimes no heart is better than one | b.x.

jily gbbo au

lily is slightly drunk when she signs up for gbbo. her mum has just passed away and baking was their thing. lily would come home after a bad day and her mother would already be setting out things so they could bake a cake together

she works for a small online magazine and tells herself she could use the exposure, but really she knows she’s doing it because it would make her mum so happy

james is an teacher. his students love him, parents love him, his fellow teachers love him

he also makes the best scones in the entire world. sirius would marry one if he could

he, remus, and peter have definitely wrestled over which flavor james should make

sirius signs up in james’ name and announces it by spelling out “BAKE OFF” with jaffa cakes on their kitchen table

james cries, sirius cries, they clean up by eating every single jaffa cake in eight minutes

so the auditions are long and grueling but our kiddos are great bakers and they delight the producers and both earn spots on the show

when they come to film james’ intro on the show they think sirius is his husband at first

mostly because they call each other babe constantly 

they ask how sirius feels about his partner doing this and he starts telling this ridiculous story about how he baked twenty cakes in the shape of toilets they saw on their travels around the world for their wedding

and then remus calls from the other room, “they’re not married!”

everyone has dinner before filming so they can all get to know each other

james gets there pretty late bc when is he not and the only available seat is beside the most beautiful person he has ever seen in his life

she smiles at him and he dies right there

he’s so flustered that instead of introducing himself, he’s like, “so, have you ever baked before?”

she kinda laughs but just says, “yeah, i bake a little.”

lily shows up on the first day of filming with five bags of ingredients

james shows up with a pair of novelty darth vader oven mitts

the signature and technical challenges are pretty simple stuff, they’re both in the middle of the pack

but then, the showstopper

they have to bake 48 fairy cakes/cupcakes

james ices and arranges his to look like paul hollywood’s face

mel and sue are laughing so hard they can’t speak

paul LOVES it ofc and james gets his first of TWO paul hollywood handshakes

lily has it a little harder

paul and mary love the flavor of her grapefruit and white chocolate fairy cakes but say they could’ve used a few more minutes in the oven and she cries

it’s not a big deal, plenty of people did a lot worse, but she’s so upset

james feels awful so in the next episode he makes a big show of tripping as he takes his eclairs out of the oven, which destroys them

(he was going to start over anyways, but he hopes it might make her laugh a little)

she knows exactly what he’s doing, but she laughs anyways

lily slowly starts dominating technical challenges

james has somehow made every single thing from the technical challenges but he always forgets what they’re supposed to look like

paul hollywood laughs for a solid two minutes when he somehow turns the buttercream in his opera cakes bright green

“they’re delicious, but james… they’re green”

“yes sir that would be the mint i added”

“why did you do that?”

“i don’t… know???”

james is better at showstoppers because he’s so dramatic and loves building things

lily is really good at tiny details and piping too

they’re making sculptures out of biscuits for one showstopper and he’s making a 3D postcard of the world (yes, he’s dumb)(yes, sue knocks over the eiffel tower four times) and he calls lily over to show him how to pipe details on the Sydney Opera House better

their hands brush over the piping bag

things are getting truly wild over here

people all over twitter are thirsting over james. he’s this season’s tamal

but people also notice how james and lily look at each other as they bake

paul makes a face over lily’s pomegranate iced matcha shortbread bc somehow he doesn’t like the matcha flavor but he can’t taste it either and she just barely rolls her eyes

the camera cuts to james who high fives her as she walks back

he asks to taste one after judging ends and she picks one up and straight up feeds it to him

he starts moaning about how it’s the best thing he’s ever eaten

the camera gets it all and the next day, there’s two buzzfeed articles and many, many gifs

james steals chocolate chips from her constantly

he throws some to her and she tries to catch them in her mouth like jake and amy in “the bet” from brooklyn nine-nine

they lay on the ground together as they wait for things to bake and he braids her hair

y’all know james is star baker of bread week. he nails that focaccia! everything is perfectly proved and baked! another paul hollywood handshake!

lily makes a pretty good apricot and chocolate braided bread for the signature

while james’ loaf is proving she’s making her apricot spread and is like, “while you’re sitting around, come knead this for a sec”

so she finishes up the spread as he kneads her dough

he does that really loud slapping method too

-lily: “so that’s the method you go with? i’m prefer really getting my hands in there”

mel and sue tell them they’re putting them out of a job

lily cries when they say james is that week’s star baker

at the end of the episode they interview her and through her tears she keeps saying how proud she is and how much he deserves it

“he never shuts up about bread! never! i’ve never met someone so passionate about dough!”

the next week is retro week

she ties a scarf in her hair and makes the best black forest gateau anyone has ever had

she and james bump hips when they announce that she’s star baker

and finally it’s the finale and they’ve both made it along with a nice grandmother who’s good, if a bit old fashioned

they both swear the other will win

they’re rolling out dough in the signature and lily starts humming “wannabe” from the spice girls and james just starts singing along

and they look up and do the rap together and roll out the dough in sync

the final challenge is to do a tower of macarons

lily makes him close his eyes and taste her fillings so she knows the flavors are strong enough

“what flavors are you getting?”

“lemon???”

“yeah, but what kind?”

“what kinds are there?”

“i don’t know!”

she smears some of his face and he doesn’t wipe it off

they finish and go out to the big tea party. sirius, remus, and peter sit at a table with them and eat both

they do their interview together. lily smiles and says, “i don’t care if i win. either way, i think things are going to be fine.”

they hold hands as they wait for the winner to be announced. neither of them notice.

when they call out lily’s name she turns to james and kisses him

mel and sue are shook

“looks like we’ve actually got two winners today!”

they both become famous afterwards, and both have cookbooks

james remains a teacher but lily becomes sort of a lauren conrad type figure and has a wildly popular baking blog

they are revered on social media in the best way (with no weird fans), and often post pictures of bakes with the caption “guess who made this one?”

spoiler: it’s usually both of them
