masterlist

You shuffled your legs underneath the fluffy comforter, accidentally kicking a sleepy Carmen in the process. You press a sleep-induced kiss to the hand that's tucked into your chest as an apology. He grumbles under his breath and tightened the arm that is lazily wrapped around your side.

"Carmy baby, we gotta get up."

He grumbles again. He desperately didn't want to leave the soft solace of your warm embrace. "What time is it?"

You look over to your nightstand and see the early morning hours. You and Carmen should probably get up to start your day at the restaurant. "It's 5:30."

He groans—the gruff of sleep striking against his throat that caused the sound to rumble against his chest. "We have plenty of time." He says, snuggling his nose into your neck and pulling your closer.

He breathes in, and a smile creeps up onto his lips at the pure smell and presence of you. You softly laugh, “Sure we do, bear."

You snuggle back into him and feel the way his body radiated heat. You know for a fact that if the two of you didn't get up right now, you would be rushing in the last five minutes of needing to leave.

He smirks slightly at the way your body doesn't move an inch despite your comments about needing to be up and ready. He doesn't say anything, just taking in your sleepy form and pressing light, affectionate kisses against our neck.

You hum at the fluttering feeling in your stomach. Your hand subconsciously moves to the back of his head and plays with his soft curls.

"Carmy." You whisper.

He gently moves your hips towards him so that your back can rest against the cushioned mattress. He looks down at you with such a content and affectionate smile that it causes your own lips to curl.

He presses up against you, and the weight of him feels just right. You let out a gasp as his teeth start to bite down on your neck. He nibbles gently on the soft skin, and you let out a breathy moan.

Carmen always seemed stunned by how much of an effect that he has on you. Don’t get him wrong, though. He loves it. He can’t get enough of it.

His hand gently caresses your thigh, and he squeezes the flesh—his thick fingers creating indents. His wet tongue easily glides to soothe the bites. “Carmy baby—” You breathe out again. With each kiss and grab of your flesh, the more hazy and fuzzy your brain feels.

"Mhmm.” He licks his lips. “Good morning, pretty girl."

You laugh lightly before gently moving his head down so you can give him a soft kiss. “Good morning to you too.”

You push a hand down from his curly hair and press it against his chest. You watch as the gold chain dangles from his chest. God, he was such a sight to be seen, you thought.

His fingers nimbly fumble with the hem of your panties. You start to squirm underneath him at the anticipation of his touch. It was always hard to think cognitively—or think at all—around Carmen.

“Please.” You begged. It was soft and encompassing, which made Carmen all the more melt inside.

He gently laughed but didn’t waste a second. “I know, baby. I know. I’ve got you.”

He knew that you both had limited time. However, he still takes his sweet time at pulling your panties down the thickness of your thighs and down to your ankles. It makes you squirm even more.

His thumb pushes through your slick, wet folds. He practically growls at the feeling of your desperation for him. It makes his heart skip.

“So fuckin’ wet.” His thumb glides to your clit and starts to gently rub.

You nod. “O-Only for you, Carmy. I—” Whatever you were about to say got completely erased as a jolt of pleasure rushed through you. He had pressed his thumb with just a little more pressure. His eyes turned an even darker blue.

“Carmy.” You breathe out. It was a plead. It was a beg of his name. Carmen almost choked at the sight of you desperate and squirming. You looked so good like that. He wanted to keep you here like this forever.

He shoves his boxers down to his knees. The desperation was kicking into him, as well. He could feel his heart pound against his chest, and his cock was hard—pre-cum leaking down his tip.

“Ready, baby?” He smiles and presses a sweet kiss on your cheek. It was his way of attempting to wake you up from that drunken haze of pleasure. You breathe out a huff, which slowly echos into a whine.

He pressed his lips onto your cheek once more. “Ready, Carmy baby.”

He slides his hand over to your hip and steadies himself. He slowly thrusts in between your folds. You both moan in unison at the feeling of one another.

“F-Fuck me.” He groans. He could feel the way your walls hugged around him and squeezed. Your wet pussy throbbed as he filled you up so perfectly.

“Carmy please.” You beg again. Your head is starting to dip into that familiar haze once more. Your arm goes to grip the bicep that’s holding him up.

He thrusts into you again and again—deep and slow. “Feel so fuckin’ good, baby—ah—so fuckin’ good.”

Your walls clench at the praise, and he lets out a deep moan. You always fell into a puddle from his praise. “You like that, baby? Hmm?”

He hums against your mouth and then crashes his lips onto yours. His tongue immediately envelops yours, and they swirl together—the taste of Carmen and you evident on your tongues.

He leans away to look down. He could feel himself twitch at the sight of his cock disappearing into your tight, wet hole. You whimpered and gasped—something akin to his name. He let out a curse that muffled itself into a moan.

“I love you.”

His eyes snap to look from your hips to your face. Your eyes were closed shut, and your mouth was ajar. Whimpers and cries continued to sprout out of you as his thrust falters from your affirmation.

His hand moves to firmly, yet gently, grip your jaw. “Open your eyes.”

Your hand tightens around his other forearm. “Carmy—”

“Baby, I-I’m not asking. Open y-your eyes.” He demanded. To him, it sounded desperate, and he was. He was so desperate to see that twinkle in your eyes.

Your eyes snap open, and you’re met with his intense stare. It almost makes you want to close your eyes again, but you refrain. You let out another whine at the pure love you saw in them.

“Say it again.” He lets out a groan as he feels your cunt flutter around him. “Please. Say it again.”

His hips thrust into you—hard and deep. You cry out in pleasure, and he feels your slick run down his shaft and to his balls.

“I love you.” You whisper. You couldn’t help but let the fog take over and repeat the words, over and over.

“I love you. C-Carmy—I love you. I love you.”

He strangles out a moan before whispering the words back to you. “I love you too, baby—f-fuck. I love you.”

His eyes never leave yours, and he even lowers his forehead against your own. You say the words again and again. “I love you. I love you. I love you.”

His heart pounds so loud against his chest that he hardly hears you. His stomach twists and swirls with complete safety and affection. He loves you so much that he feels as if he might burst.

He growls out a moan, and he pumps into you, again and again. Before he even realizes it, he could feel his cock twitch. His cum leaks into you, sticky and wet as it clings to your walls. “Oh fuck, oh fuck—shit, I love you. Please—” He rasps out.

You let out a gasp, followed by his name. He continues to thrust and he can feel the way you restrict around him. He moved the hand that cradled your cheek and presses deep into your aching, puffy clit.

You yell out his name, begging at him. “That’s it, baby. C’mon. Been so fuckin’ good. Cum for me, sweet girl. I need your cum.”

It was as if his words sent you over the edge. The praise, the begging, and the softness of his voice. It was all too much as he thrusts into you once more.

“Carmy!” You scream, the sound echoing across the apartment. You feel the high rush through you, all the way down to your toes. Your cunt flutters and leaks cum all down to Carmen’s thighs, even.

He gasped at the feeling of your and his cum swirling and mixing together. He was over-stimulated from the love he felt and the pure sensations of you. “Fuck—shit.”

He slowly stilled himself but never pulls out. He pressed a gentle kiss to your cheek and nose. You just breathe heavily against him with a wide smile on your face.

“I love you so much.” He whispers. He closes his eyes, and he breathes in deep. He smiles, though, and opens his eyes back up. Carmen wasn’t sure about his life more than half of the time, but what he did know was that you are the best thing in the entire world. You.

“I love you too, Carmy.” You press a kiss on his cheek. His neck and cheeks were bright red. “So much.”

Oh my gosh! I don’t know why this thought is stuck in my head this morning, buuuut can you imagine going to Starbucks with Carmen Berzatto ? (Dad Carm also welcome <3 )

He’d totally be disgusted by any and all the pastries. Teddie would definitely ask for a cake pop and Carmy looks like he could vomit.

Once he realizes all the extra things you can add in - syrups and all that - he concedes that the coffee is pretty good. He maybe even goes back with increasingly complex orders. But he’d prefer a local place.

omg yes ahhh!!!

your usual coffee spot was closed so he was forced to go to starbucks and he's so stuck up about it. you just roll your eyes about him bc it's so carmen. he's so weird about chain restaurants which you understand, but also... sometimes more convenient in situations like these.

teddy is a cake pop fiend. loves the birthday cake ones (me too teddy lol) and you shut down the frapp at eight in the morning but let her have a little refresher. carmen is horrified by the dried fruit they put in, literally disgusted.

he orders a black coffee and has to read off your order bc it's so complicated (to him). "and make that with, uh, coconut milk... the fuck? sorry, sorry, she's, uh, my wife, she's never drank coconut milk ever when i've known her."

you finally get him to admit that it's not the horrendous overpriced lake water shit he always bitched it was, but... he'd still go local. swears it has nothing on the shop on the corner of your neighborhood, his tried and true.

The Beef

Does anybody else miss the Beef? Don't get me wrong; they could still change the name to the Bear if they wanted to, but every time I watch the pilot (which remains my favorite episode), and I hear the Ballbreaker theme or see Carmy with his underground meat connect (or Fak talks about his condenser guy), I miss the grungy days of the Beef.

I still feel they could've done some renovations and training, etc. in Season 2, but remained that beloved, chaotic joint from the hood with the world-famous sandwiches.

I want to see more underground "connects" and Ballbreaker tournaments. I want to keep seeing Carmy and Sydney improvise, like when Carmy had to leave the beef on two hours longer because he could only get bone-in, or when the power went out and Sydney set up a grill outside. I want to meet more trash-talking, chain-wearing Italians. Hell, I wouldn't even mind meeting Richie's coke supplier, lol.

Because while I'm impressed with the world of fine dining (more specifically, the hard-working people behind the scenes), I feel like the show lost a bit of its soul when the restaurant "upgraded". I think we would've had a better story if Carmy were to simply take his fine dining skills back to his "street" roots and stay there.

Because oddly enough, this show reminds me of a guy right here in Houston who won an episode of "Chopped" during Season 12. He took his winnings and fine dining background, and opened up a food truck. When he earned more money, he opened a restaurant, Craft Burger. He recently opened a second location. And now, after leaving behind his fancy background and focusing on more "common food", his restaurants stay packed. That's what I would've liked to see on the Bear.

Hopefully, something will happen that'll force them to return to their roots. Everyone on here predicts that an epic fight between Carmy and Sydney is coming; if so, maybe it'll be the catalyst to help them get back to basics.

Favorite ship

favorite ship? favorite SHIP?

titanic for sure i had a huge fixation on it as a child i even came up w a roller coaster idea for it although ive been told it would be distasteful to execute

but actually sry anon im going to have to use this as an excuse to talk about every single one of my favorite ships and why i love them bc ive had a notes list going for a while…

in really no particular order:

wolfstar - what can you say you know if you know you know they are the definition of literary soulmates. the fact that j** wrote them without the intent of making them be in love is so baffling it’s ridiculous. people talk about ships like oh they’re the sun/star and so and so is the moon which is all well and good but is it written in the text?? do their names literally translate to moon and star?? THEIR HISTORY wolfstar is the blueprint no one’s done it like them and i dare say no one will again

byler - my current brain rot and just may be becoming an all time fave (no that’s a lie they’re my fave) best childhood friends to lovers my favorite trope they are a ship i’ve always yearned for. small town 80s nerds the pining the angst the Horror! their potential is so promising and have become such a amazing vessel for me - i relate to both of them so much on so many levels that it makes the creativity just FLOW

catradora - catradora. CHANGED. THE. GAaaaamee. best friends to enemies to lovers?!? WHAT. honestly this whole show changed the game. nestled in each others hearts they know how to twist the knife but also know exactly how to make it better ! that one intense homoerotic friendship u had when u were younger that slowly destroyed you. catradora my beloved.

victurri - from yuri on ice. this one was esp special to me bc i watched that go down live my senior year of hs so it was quite formative. i hadn’t fully grasped my queerness at the time(even tho everything i consumed was gay…) but i did suspect i was somewhere on the ace spectrum and watching their relationship build and come together through a growing emotional intimacy was soooo special to me and they will always be famous. (also weirdly it’s the fandom i hav the most merch of w/o ever buying a single thing bc i never shut up about this show when i was younger so ive been gifted everything them stickers, key chains, posters, pins so much lmao)

dorlene - badass girlfriends. i have a whole backstory for marlene in my head that i think veers from the most popular characterization of her (she’s been very sirius-ified by most of the fandom which i’m not mad at but!) my dorlene MY dorlene is very srs and very important to me.

elmax - okay okay lumax for the show elmax for personal reasons. el a sheltered traumatized girl being exposed to true love and friendship w/o expectations or conditions by a gives zero shits free spirited max - max being harsh and stand offish to most people bc of her own history but is so warmed and won ovr by el’s honesty and naivety. the way they Can Grow together ! the way they can be exactly what the the needs!

honorable straight mentions lol:

recently carmy and syd from the bear !!! oooo that slow burn

jily obvs

and percabeth that is a beautiful ship of my childhood dreams and i’m so excited to see it play out now on screen!

[etherealising]

OMGOMGOMG You’re so sweet! I’m so happy my song recs are inspiring you 😭, I also read chapter 8 and listened to the songs and read the lyrics separately for the best experience lol, I sobbed what can I say, my favorite one was Your Needs, My Needs! amazing chapter like always, it took me so long to read it because work has been crazy, it was so sweet to come home and see that you had updated and that you tagged me? You made my night thank you so much

I’m also a very slow reader and when I saw all the chapter tags I made a playlist with your songs and some of my own lmfao, Philadelphia by Good Night & Good Morning, and I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski! Song recs are not exactly a birthday gift but lets pretend, happy late birthday, hope you had an amazing day!

Now, the chapter… 😭😭😭 I was so sad by the end, but I’m happy they are on somewhat good terms now, Natalie can finally rest! More or less. Baby finally coming clean in some parts it’s so good, for her and for Carmy, he needed to know that he wasn’t the only one going through stuff, and that his fear of commitment really impacted other people, even if the way things turned out were not completely his fault. He felt so bad knowing about the alcohol and pills, I can’t imagine how he will feel when the other shoe drops. We also had another part of the puzzle, the fact that it was Richie that found her the day of the miscarriage make his disgust for Carmy even more reasonable (and sweet? In some twisted way lol, we love a protective “older brother”), I hope we can read in the future what exactly happened and why. The chain and the pendant are also a beautiful detail, it’s the small details that make a story so memorable and you nail that every time.

I loved it! Can’t wait for the next chapter!

you could have read this chapter a whole year later and i’d still be screaming at this message! 😭 but yes they have all been so inspiring it is crazy! but omg yes, your needs, my needs was the heart and soul of chapter 8 i was bawling whenever it came on! i’m so happy to have made your night, you literally make my day anytime you send me an ask i like almost jump up and down when i see you in my notifications!

more song recs?!?! you spoil me, i will damn sure accept these recs as a birthday present! and yes it was quite great, thank you for the well wishes lovie!!

i was so on the fence about having them make up, but i just want to right them in love and lovin on each other so bad now! but yes nat can take a break for now lol. yes i thought it was well beyond time for baby to at least admit something to carmy, and you’re absolutely right hearing baby’s confession kind of gives carmy perspective like he’s not the only one struggling through things, but i also thought it was important to denote that no matter what, just because he loved her that didn’t mean anything would be different. not the other shoe dropping 😭 but yes richie is 100% so much team baby it hurts his big brother senses are always tingling around her lol. i’ve decided i’m not going too into detail about the miscarriage because of how delicate of a topic it is but when baby reveals it to carmy she will explain what happened. the chain, pendant, and flower lore are probably my favorite detail i’ve included in this series like its just so close to my heart and i love sharing it with you all!

i’m so glad you still love this fic so much and i can’t wait to continue sharing it with you! 🤍

obsessed with your recent blurbs!! the girls need more Carmy casual dominance thoughts!!! 🎤💋

omg thank you ahh!!! honestly, I have lots of casual dominance thoughts so I am more than happy to share lol.

one, I think carmen is dominant in the bedroom for the most part, but that's more purposeful. in your day to day, he's effortlessly casually dominant because it comes more so as a natural reaction. he's used to giving orders, always a peace keeper/problem solver, and there's something about the control over the situation that makes him feel more safe and secure.

it's little things. always walking you to your car, if for no other reason that to make sure you don't get mugged- or worse. in the morning? he's gonna walk you down. if you get home after him? text him when you get there and he's gonna walk you in. even if your car is just a few feet from the restaurant, parked on the curb and he can see you, he's still walking you.

I feel like he's a big "did you drink water?" kinda guy too. any ache or pain it's "how much water did you have?" even tho he chain smokes lol but he's constantly sliding you a glass and just nodding at it. really only does it when you're looking kinda sluggish or like you're about to feel sick, he can just tell and tries to stop it beforehand bc 90% of the time... you're just dehydrated lol.

these are just a few I have rn at four am lol but feel free to add on <3
