Summary
In a small port town, there is a cafe that Sonic and Shadow often visit to hang out, though they can't for the life of them admit they wanna be more than friends, to the annoyance of their friends who are currently witnessing two hedgehogs be oblivious to each other's feelings. It got to a point where Blaze, Amy, Knuckles, and Rouge applied for jobs at the cafe just to get Sonic and Shadow to realize each other's feelings and just kiss already. Unfortunately, one of their co-workers wants Eggman, so now they're wingmanning for more than two Mobians. However, the cafe they're working at is very popular with couples, so they're gonna witness typical couple behavior and see old faces and new faces.

Summary
Seungmin isn’t supposed to be here.
The little coffee shop on the corner is too bright, too cheerful, and far too… normal for someone like him.
And yet, every day, he finds himself drawn to it, drawn to the barista who laughs too easily and smiles too brightly.
Changbin doesn’t know the things Seungmin has to keep hidden, or the world he’s part of, but that doesn’t stop Seungmin from lingering a little longer over his espresso, from noticing how Changbin’s hands move and biceps flex when he makes coffee, or how his laugh somehow makes the shadows of Seungmin’s life feel farther away.
Some obsessions can’t be denied, some cafés are too warm, and some baristas… are far too tempting.

Summary
"Do you have a name, or do I just call you 'I don't care'?" Pomni glances down at his nametag, and back up at him.
"Ha-ha, very funny." He hands her card back after putting in her order on the computer. "Well, my names Jax. The best barista here~" He smiles with his eyes closed, pressing his fingers against his chest to present himself loudly and boost his ego. She giggles in response with a soft smile, making something inside him flutter, something he's never felt before.
Or, 5 times Pomni orders at Jax's job and 1 time he didn't notice her.

Summary
Barou’s face turned into one of horror as he realized what Isagi and Nagi were talking about—him being Maid Barou. He raised a hand to cover his slightly blushing face in great humiliation.
“What the hell? Where did you get this, Ego-san?”
Ego ignored Barou’s questions and instead stated sternly, “As the manager of the café, you must dress up as a maid because maid cosplays sell the most appeal. This is an order from me, you understand?”
Barou Shouei found himself becoming a manager of Blue Lock’s side project called the Blue Lock Café. Otherwise, Blue Lock would shut down from inadequate funding and his family would remain in great financial debt. The goal is to serve as many guests as possible. So as Maid Barou, he rounded up other Blue Lock players to work with him as hosts. But are they working towards pleasing the guests—or pleasing him?
Or
Barou becomes Maid Barou for real, shenanigans ensure, and everyone loves him (with exceptions).
This story takes place in the same canon-divergent timeline as Japan's No. 1 Baby, not Striker--my other WIP.

Summary
Harry owns a bookshop called The Library. His best friend Ron mans the café downstairs. Neither of them planned to make a living out of books and coffee, but fate decided otherwise. They have been at it for ten years already, paying tribute to their shared past, when a posh older woman disturbs Harry's peace and quiet. She embodies most of what Harry has learned to detest, she's the very opposite of what The Library tries to be. There is no reason for their paths to cross. And yet they do. Again, and again, and again. Opposites do attract.

Summary
Prompt: Coffee shop Au where the owner is increasingly concerned about the amount of caffeine this customer is ingesting.
Derek returned to Beacon Hills with his sister once she’d finished college. He’d attended business school for a few years and decided that he’d open his own coffee shop: All Hale Caffeine - Laura picked it. They had gotten the shop up and running while visiting his uncle who was slowly starting to get better and working on rebuilding the old house. After all, it was time to start living again.
Stiles Stilinski was 17, a spark, and just trying to finish high school. That proves impossible when his best friend gets bitten by a rogue alpha. Queue the Hales entering their lives as Stiles and Scott deal with the mess they’ve found themselves in. At least Stiles is getting good coffee out of this ordeal - if only the Sourwolf owner would stop commenting on his health.
A Season 1 AU Rewrite - where the Hales return two-ish years before season 1’s events. Peter doesn’t go insane, Scott still gets bitten, and Stiles already knows about the supernatural world. Oh, and Derek had actual therapy while in New York.
