Welcome To The Bakery !
a SpamTenna centric AU

________.⋆✧⋆.________

My happy go lucky AU || This is set in the light world, dark worlds do not exist. Only somewhat follows canon.
__
*The setting is more akin to a small suburban city rather than the smalltown that base Deltarune has, but I am still going to refer to it as Hometown.
*This is more like just my OCs wearing skinsuits of the characters; Playing with my touys
*Ignore the plotholes ok? ok

Story

Spamton was stuck in a dead end position working with the Addisons. Bitter resentment building up and desperation for a way out increasing with each passing day.With no-one willing to pay any mind to his baking, he started frequenting the local park to feed the birds instead. A murder of crows, at least they appreciated his work. And appreciate they did, a crow with odd eyes gave back a gift; a pastry recipe.Spamton gave the recipe a try, discovering it to be the best thing he's ever made. He returned to the crows with the pastry as a thanks. To his surprise, the exchanges continued.Still determined to make a name for himself, he started publishing the recipes online, and quickly gained popularity. He finally found a way to become someone, a patissier who's name would be remembered.With some guidance from the crows, he found himself face to face with another rather big name; Tenna, a food blogger with renowned taste.
__
The two hit it off instantly, the proposal of starting a bakery coming soon after.With the two's prior influence, even the opening was a hit. Visitors came from all over just to try the confections that were rumored to be a slice of heaven.As the popularity grew, Spamton became busier, cockier. He started visiting the park less and less, figuring that he had enough recipes anyway. His business became one of the best in town, what else mattered?The crows stopped coming, and with them they took back what they offered.Spamton started to forget important parts of recipes, and began adjusting them to suit his dulling tastes. THe resulting desserts became barely a semblance of what they were before.
The atmosphere in the bakery became tense soon after. Customers started to come by less. Tenna kept trying to pry for answers that Spamton refused to give.Frustration built up in Tenna, he couldn't keep going along with the horrid changes. In their last argument, everything Tenna had been bottling up came crashing down at once.Spamton did not return the next day. Tenna felt the guilt rise, but assumed he skipped town to pursue something greater, and maybe that was for the better.
__
With Spamton missing, Tenna had to face the brunt of the backlash over the sudden fallout, trying to keep the bakery open. Having no one to go to for answers, his exasperation grew.When he eventually found Spamton again, nothing but a rusted pin suggested the wanderer was his old business partner. Despite the annoyance and anxiety, they both deeply missed each other.After inquiring information about what happened over the period of no contact, relief washed over. The secret was spilled, frustrations were aired out, and they'd move on together.
__
The bakery was eventually reopened, to smaller success than before, but it was enough.

Story

His career before settling in Hometown was as a food blogger, specializing in desserts/sweet treats. He found joy in being able to travel and go on adventures while sharing his passion to an audience. He gained popularity through reputation of having exceptional taste.The bakery allowed him to explore his enthusiasm for sweets from the other side, learning quickly how to make his own treats instead of just tasting them.

During the period of falling out, he may have overcompensated his facade of "I don't miss him" with unnecessary aggression instead. Often shit-talking nonsense to cover up his hurt and feeling guilty about it the next morning.

Story

Always had a passion for cooking, baking in particular, but never had the opportunity to pursue it. He was mentally and financially trapped working in the Addison's restaurant, stuck at the bottom as a busser.The bakery allowed him really embrace baking as a passion instead of just a form of escapism.He kept feeding the crows for a while after, but grew too conceited, thinking that he didn't need them anymore.
__
He was afraid about dragging Tenna further down with him, choosing to run and go into hiding instead of sticking around any longer.Mostly lurked in the alleyways during his disappearance, did not want to be found.Wears glasses to obscure his face, paranoid of the crows recognizing him.
