Chaos Theory

“You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”

“And how do I…we—how does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”

“I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

Or, the bear, seasons five and six.

This is my first fanfic in years, but the Sydcarmy fever hit big. This is the winner of the poll I ran almost 54% of you wanted Carmy showing up for Syd. I hope I won’t disappoint. Enjoy and please do let me know what you think!

Sydney's spent a year and a half learning the difference between what Carmen Berzatto says and what he actually does. Now that The Bear has everything they worked for, he's asking her to believe the two of them could be real, but she's watched him walk out on people before, including himself.
