After an injury stops him working, a failing deckhand gets a new lease on life.

20k, rated M, cis M/M romance and light comedy! Themes around cooking and nurturing, identity and sense of self, and complex family dynamics.

Content warnings for emotional abuse and implied physical abuse, some racial microaggressions, severe social anxiety, self-esteem issues. There's food kink and feeding kink throughout, with weight gain referenced as a part of that, but the tone is more about food as a manifestation of nurturing and love rather than being about weight gain or feeding itself as a fetish.
