Summary: Jensen Ackles, owner and head pastry chef of the popular San Francisco restaurant The Cupcake, has a secret: with one touch of his finger, he can bring the dead back to life. But it might not be the best skill to have, since it has a tendency to complicate his life. Case in point, Jared Padalecki, his best friend and childhood crush died a while ago. But Jensen brought him back to life and has since proceeded to fall in love with him all over again. The only problem is, one more touch, and Jared will die again. Permanently. What’s a pastry chef to do?
Warnings: Character death of the non-permanent variety
