wading in waist-high water - colgatebluemintygel (@colgatebluemintygel)
I am a big fan of cake. All baked goods, actually. I’m also a fan of the Great British Bake Off format - there’s nothing like a wholesome batch of humans bonding over soggy bottoms and spicy snacks (I’m looking at you, fandom). This fic is the product of a delicious recipe - ingredients include: rose-bush based camera calamities, Albus’ teapot kleptomania, teas and ties by Arthur, adorable Peter and his search for friendship, weird and wonderful worm metaphors, 15 cans of chickpeas, erotic bread kneading, hand fixation, a sprinkling of WolfStar romance, sexual tension, and a heavy pinch of saffron. This fic also covers discussions of loss, forgiveness, inherited trauma and the quest for self-worth, which are carefully balanced with and highlighted by humour and fluff. If you are already a GBBO fan, there’s the added bonus of spotting references to Bake Off canon. Grab yourself a cup of tea and a biscuit, curl up on the sofa, and prepare to salivate over colgatebluemintygel’s handshake-worthy tale.
