    Summary

    “It’s not–because of your cooking,” Kravitz started, still clunky and wrong despite having rehearsed this in his head.

    Taako lifted an eyebrow. “Duh,” he deadpanned, “my cooking is fucking fantastic.”

    “Yes, I…I’m sure it is.”

    “But you wouldn’t know,” Taako continued, sounding terse enough for Kravitz to cringe, “because you’ve never…”

    Taako trailed off, expression slowly shifting as he realized what it was that Kravitz was unsuccessfully trying to explain.

    “Hang on. Wait a minute. Hold all your damn horses and the stone, babe. It’s not just my food, is it? I’ve never seen you eat anything, have I?”

    Summary

    In this AU - it's a bit more complicated as it is heavily inspired by "Too Sweet" by the Hoziers.
    In this universe Kravitz is still the GrimReaper but he also achieved his dream of being the Conductor for the NeverWinter Orchestra. However living in the material plane while also occasionally returning to the Astral Plane - Kravitz has a hard time maintaining a regular human facade. When the Raven Queen recommends a famous cooking show to keep up appearances Kravitz finds himself in a wild goose-chase for one of the most powerful pair of liches in the world.
    It's unfortunate Taako is so attractively distracting that it prevents him from doing his job.

     

    One night out on the town with his good friend Magnus, Taako experiences the power of a bard's song in the Neverwinter Orchestra. Or rather; the power of the Conductor orchestrating the song. While he was there for Magnus and to cheer on his pal Johann, Taako couldn't help but find himself enamored with Kravitz's career.
    It's unfortunate when he finally meets the guy he's already in love with someone else.

    Summary

    Barry goes down to the lab every morning. One rainy day, about two and a half weeks from the initial implantation, he comes up the stairs with an excited expression on his round face. “I’ve got some news –”

    He doesn’t get the chance to finish because Lup is already sprinting past him. They hear the sound of shattering glass. “It has a latch...” Barry mumbles, his head in his hands. They would have to go to the black markets to find another tube, now.

    The footsteps on the stairs sound much more solid coming up than they had been running down. The door is kicked open and there’s Lup in her corporeal form.

    Summary

    Taako sighs and takes off his hat, wringing the rim of it in his dark, scarred hands. Lup dissipates some of her aggressive energy at the sight of his walls coming down. It’s sibling honesty time.

    “I understand why Lucretia did it. I respect it and I respect her.” He stares at the kitchen tiles. “I don’t hate her. I just can’t forgive her.”

    Summary

    As the table fills with empty bottles, Merle’s voice gets louder, and Magnus’s hands become clumsy. Taako’s cheeks and the tips of his ears are flushed, and Magnus can’t stop sneaking glances. Julia’s cheeks used to do that after too much wine. That’s why Magnus feels a flutter in his chest when Taako laughs. That’s why.

    Summary

    Taako didn't know much. He didn't know where he got the Sizzle It Up With Taako food cart, or where he was or how he got there. He didn't know why he didn't know those things, but he didn't care about that.

    What he did know was that he was a great chef, a star, a real fucking diamond in the rough. His past sucked but this was a new lease on life and a new him.

    He was going to make something of himself and damn it, everyone was going to love him.
