The Recipe for Remembering
The Bear AU (Part ten)
Pairing: Carmen x Fem! Reader
Summary: Y/N wakes up in Carmenβs apartment, surrounded by familiar objects that stir something deep and comforting within her. As she adjusts to this unexpected sense of belonging, she begins to uncover small pieces of her pastβboth through quiet moments alone and a meaningful conversation with an old friend. With her repaired phone in hand and a heart full of questions, Y/N takes her first steps toward rediscovering who she wasβ¦ and who she still might be.
A/N: It's been a long time since my last upload, but again, another hard sick week :/ Now I'm feeling much better and hopefully, you will like this new update! For the ones asking about her recovery... Take a deep breath! It may be closer than ever ;) As always, thank you for all the support and please keep giving me feedback!
Y/N wraps her hands around the old ceramic mug, the one she recognized yesterday the second she stepped into Carmenβs apartment. Hand-painted by her grandma, chipped near the handle. Now itβs here again, warm with coffee, nestled between her palms like it never left. And somehow, this tiny object makes her feel cozier than sheβs felt in months.Β
She ended up staying. Last night, when the pizza was gone and the silence stretched long, she couldnβt bring herself to go back to her apartment. It felt too cold. Too lonely. So she asked, gently, if she could stay.Β
