Summary: Molly Hooper is known for making some of the best baked goods in all of England, and no one knows what her secret is. Her most popular dish is her Jam Tartlets, and it’s a recipe she shares with absolutely no one, not even those who work in her shop. When a new resident arrives in the village, an apiarist named Sherlock Holmes, they begin an exchange: some of her special jams in exchange for his honey. But what starts as a simple trade of sweet foodstuffs becomes so much more when Molly’s shop is broken into and ransacked by someone looking for the secret recipe.

When I Started: June 28th, 2016
How I Lost My Shit: I started it while I was writing a rush of summer fics that year, and it ended up being a lot of fics that I wrote one chapter and then abandoned them. Then in early 2019 I started writing a little more of this one before I submitted it for WIPBB but got stuck as to what the dramatic turn should be.
How I Finished My Shit: My friend strangelock221b on Tumblr gave me the idea of using a lawsuit in the fic, since it involved someone trying to take over a business, and I wrote four chapters really quickly before getting stuck having to make sure all my WIPBB fics had enough for snippets, and then I finished it with the other five chapters the day I finished submitting the last of the snippets.
