#saltbaker x reader

[biostris]

Hope this isn't too dark but can I get some angst with saltbaker who has a s/o who is incredibly sick and on the verge of death?

A/N: YES, god I’m going through these and a lot of them are yall being horny little shits so this is actually fueling my empty brain, and I have nothing but an 8 hour flight and a 4 hour lay over to sit through so this works. This will not be drafted this is just straight fucking RAW, GN pronouns.

:Chef Saltbaker x Reader:

In health and in sickness.

No one had seen it coming, no one even knew what it was. All anyone knew on the Isle was that (Y/n) was deathly sick, Saltbaker was working overtime, and time was running out. The bakery was empty, Saltbaker felt nothing but worry and anger as he ran his thumb under a price. A simply ludicrous price. One that he needed to pay to keep you alive.

“Damn it..” he muttered, a hand running down his glassy face as a scowl made its way onto it. How could this happen, how could this happen to you? Everyone had been showing their support, buying when they can but it would never be enough. He felt like he was failing you. A familiar ding echoed from the front of the shop and he was able to pull himself out of his wallowing to plaster on a smile long enough to appease the masses.

“Welcome, Welcome! What can I get you?” He immediately asked, his smile fading once he realized it was Esther Winchester. The cowgirl had her hat over her chest, looking at him with much sympathy and sorrow. “What happened.” He demanded, voice frantic but not angry.

The lass with a lasso paused. “I know you want to work, to try and prevent the end from coming too soon..” she began. Starting to walk over behind the counter and put a hand on Saltbakers shoulder. “But I think it’s high time you hang up your hat and go home to them.” She squeezed his shoulder and offered a sympathetic glance. Saltbakers Heart dropped, he swallowed thickly as he felt him self go pale. Mouth beginning to dry.

“I..” he choked, holding back a sob. “I can’t.” He admitted as he ran a hand to the back of his neck. Falling back on a wooden stool. “If I quit here, (y/n) won’t have enough money for their meds. And if they don’t have enough money for their meds then I fail them.” He bit back tears. Practically fighting them off with ever inch of willpower he saved for himself.

Esther snorted, her brows furrowing and lips twisting into a scowl. “Ya ain’t!” She shouted. “Yer not a failure, they appreciate every second you spend here. Every penny spent to keep them alive but damnit Baker!” Both of her hands grasped his shoulders and she gently shook them.

“They’re dyin, Baker..” her voice dropped. “There ain’t anything we can do now.” Saltbaker felt rage boil in his system but she had a point. One way or another the medicine would eventually stop, their body would grow tired and stop. He broke down in tears, the searing pain of his heart breaking spreading through his chest.

“What do i do..” he croaked, “you go home to them. You honor your vow.” Esther helped him up. Helping him pack up for the day. “In health and sickness.” She reminded him. Saltbaker paused at the door and fiddled with the ring on his finger for a moment. Tears still falling down his cheeks. He sucked in a big breath before slowly letting it out.

“You’re right,” he opened the door waving by to Esther. “I gotta get home.” And with that he was off. Walking the streets, dreading but also being excited to see them again. As he stepped inside their home he made his way to their room. The steady beeping of a monitor made his heart ache.

“You’re home!” (Y/n) croaked weakly, turning their head ever so slightly to see him. A frail smile on their dried lips. Saltbaker wanted to cry. No matter what anyone said he felt like a failure. He sucked in another breath of courage and quickly went to their side. “Yup, I’m home.” He took their hand in his and kissed it.

“How you feeling cupcake?” He asked as he caressed their cheek. Feeling the sheen of sweat sticking to their skin. “Like shit.” (Y/n) replied with a roll of their eyes. “But happy now that you’re here.” Saltbaker couldn’t help but laugh at their wit. He leaned down and kissed them. Lips in a delicate yet passionate dance as he poured all his love into it, dreading that it would be the last.

“I was thinking.” He began as he gently caressed their cheek bone with his thumb. “That we take that trip to the lake, like you wanted..” he watched as their eyes lit up, “really?” Asked (Y/n). Their subtle head tilt expressing their curiosity in volumes. He nodded and smiled.

“I’ve spent too long cooped up in my bakery. And I almost forgot the vow we made.” He took both their hands to his chest. Kissing their knuckles and arms, wrists and all. “That is be by your side in health, and in sickness.” His smile fell.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been here for you. I just..” he winced, but (Y/n) knew. They always knew. They reached up and stroked his cheek weakly. Dry hands brushing against his smooth skin as they chuckled. “It’s ok. Let’s make the most of it now.”

Not all stories will have a happy ending, some are cut too short. But in their last few days (Y/n) had their husband. A nice view of the lake, and all the sweets they could stomach. And in their finals moments in Saltbakers arms, watching the sun rise on a new day. They knew, just like they always did, that everything would be ok.

I’ve been looking at a bunch of Chef Saltbaker x Reader Headcanons recently and decided to done of my own. These are for a gender neutral, autistic reader.

(Art isn’t mine)

• The two of you first met late one afternoon. You came into the bakery, ordered something to eat, and sat down at a table to do something. (Read, write, draw, etc.) You quickly became a regular at the bakery.

• Your friendship truly began once you stayed after hours, rambling about your special interest(s) to him. He stood at the counter and listened as you excitedly talked about your passions.

• Saltbaker doesn’t judge you for stimming. In fact, he finds it adorable. He loves seeing you get all excited and happy stimming.

• If you vocal stim, Saltbaker will occasionally make noises back to you. He’s not mocking you; it’s more of a form of affection.

• Saltbaker has a physical list of your safe foods. He likes taking those dishes and adding his own twist to them. For instance, if your safe food is Mac and Cheese, he’ll make something akin to a Mac and Cheese casserole.

• When you first started dating, Saltbaker immediately did research about autistic love languages. If you’re not a big fan of physical contact, he’ll show his love through words of affirmation. If you love physical contact, he’ll give you all the physical affection you want.

• Autistic have this specific love language that’s been dubbed “penguin pebbling,” which is named after how penguins will pick out a rock and give it to a potential mate. If this is your love language, you give Saltbaker seemingly random things that remind you of him. He has a whole box full of these little trinkets you give him.

• Saltbaker may come off a bit overprotective and even possessive to some people. But he never wants to hurt you. He knows that you’re independent, but this doesn’t stop him from worrying about you.

• If you’re nonverbal and use sign language, Saltbaker goes out of his way to learn what the different signs mean. He’ll even sign back to you while speaking.

Chef Saltbaker Yandere alphabet - Jealously, kisses and love letters.

Chef Saltbaker - J, K & L

Note: Finally decided to write for a DLC character and it feels great! Hope you enjoy your request, love! Word Count: 0.6k Warnings: Delusional mindsets, implied murder, jealousy, mentions of kidnapping, obsessive behaviour, paranoia, possessive behaviour. Prompts: Can be found here.

Jealousy: Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

Yes, and quite often, too. However, the reason for it and how he responds to it depends entirely on whether or not he’s been reformed.

Prior to his redemption, Saltbaker can become jealous of seemingly anyone and everyone that interacts with his darling. Be they strangers, acquaintances, friends, family, romantic rivals, it doesn’t matter; as long as they take up his darling’s time or divert their attention away from him, he can and will become jealous.

In most cases, he deals with it by simply grinning and bearing it, only to seethe in private later on. Jealousy is a most unbecoming thing for someone as cheerful and kind as him to feel, so he’s careful to mask it around his darling for fear of it driving them away. However, in cases where the person he’s jealous of poses an actual threat to his relationship with them, he’s not above disposing of them as swiftly as possible

As for post-redemption Saltbaker, his rampant jealousy stems not from general possessiveness, but fear. Even though he fully believes himself to have changed for the better, he worries that not everyone feels the same. Thus, whenever his darling interacts with someone else, he can’t help but fear that they’ll try to convince them to leave him.

The only thing able to ease his mind when this happens is his darling. In these instances, he allows them to see a much more vulnerable and unsure side of himself; a side which he usually suppresses. He all but begs them for comfort and reassurance, desperate to hear them promise that they’ll never leave him.

And if they don’t? He might just steal them away. At least that way they can stay with him forever, whether they want to or not.

Kisses: How do they act around or with their darling?

Saltbaker’s behaviour around his darling is almost indistinguishable from his behaviour around everyone else, though that’s not to say there’s no difference in the way he behaves. The most obvious sign of his fondness for them doesn’t take the form of actions or words, but body language. His slightly wider smile, the higher pitch in his voice, the brighter light in his eyes, how he leans ever so slightly closer when speaking with them - all of these differences are extremely subtle and, to most, entirely invisible, but are very telling to anyone with a keen eye.

That being said, there is one major difference between how he treats his darling as opposed to others, though even the most observant person can miss it: prior to his redemption, his displays of kindness towards them are the only times when it’s genuine. Around everyone else, his jolly and goodhearted persona is just that, a persona. But when he’s with his darling, a softness within him that he believed he had buried long ago manages to resurface; it’s only when this happens that he realises what he feels for them is more than simple attraction, and the seeds of his obsession begin to grow.

Love letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Whether it’s before, during, or after his descent into villainy, one thing about Saltbaker remains consistent throughout all of it: he adores romance. Love letters, long walks on the beach, baking together, kissing in the rain, giving his coat to his partner when it’s cold - any romantic or domestic gesture you can think of, he’s likely fantasised about it at some point.

Because of this, it should come as no surprise that his approach to courting his darling is like something straight out of a romantic movie. He can’t help himself; even at his most despicable, he wants to have nothing short of a picture-perfect, fairy tale romance with them, and as long as they reciprocate this desire, he will happily sweep them off their feet in the most cheesy, cliché, overly sweet way possible.

[love-minor-poltergeist]

Hello polter! What do you think about the new cuphead dlc? I told myself I wasn’t going to fall for Chef Saltbaker, but i was very wrong. Could we please have some headcanons sometime?

A/N: Man you could really tell how far behind I am on some of these requests– man, I didn’t even know how long I’ve been in this rut until now. Especially since the DLC came out 2 years ago. Even as I am typing out this little note, I can’t help but grimace and feel awful for only now getting to this (シ〒﹏〒))シ

Now, I wasn’t sure if this was referring to just general headcanons or x reader ones, so I decided to go for the former for the time being!

General Chef Saltbaker Hcs:

┌── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──┐

Even before his scheme to finally bake the Wondertart came to light, the residents of Inkwell Isle Four sensed something was… off about Chef Saltbaker. The way his  jolly smiles didn’t quite reach his eyes; how he’d often lash out at random intervals before suddenly slipping his cheerful mask on; the numerous backhanded remarks he’d dole out to customers— and god forbid he becomes passive aggressive. 

Point is, he wasn’t really a friendly fellow to begin with– and everyone was able to catch on relatively quickly. However, there was a tense, silent agreement between the other Island denizens and Chef Saltbaker: they stay out of his business, and he’ll play nice. And with gourmet treats to sweeten the pot, it’s enough to make most people look the other way. 

He kept his life incredibly private prior to his rehabilitation. Chef Saltbaker wasn’t originally from the fourth Isle, having quietly set up his bakery to little fanfare. The man hardly ever left the building, either. During the late hours of the night, long after closing hours, a few onlookers even caught him opening the door that led to the basement of the bakery; leading to a few crazed conspiracies and theories of what exactly he did down there.

Granted, considering how Saltbaker had a lab down there, they weren’t wrong. But he also just had a nook that he lived in. Rent could be expensive in the city blocks of the Isle. He’d rather spend most of his budget towards ingredients, so living within the bakery was just naturally the better option. 

Honestly, baking the Wondertart was the culmination of a series of unfortunate events. A struggling career in the culinary arts, years of being taken advantage of by restaurant owners– who dangled the empty promise of a promotion if he just was more passionate, constant stress over meeting rent, funding the bakery, and himself, rude customers; it could go on forever. After continuous disappointment and admittedly isolating himself, it was easy to see why he went a little, ah, mad. 

Saltbaker’s gotten a lot better though! Albeit, there’s still remnants of that bitter, passive aggressive (hell, even just normal aggressive) personality lurking underneath his much more positive self. Now that he has gained the trust and friendship of the Isle denizens– finally gaining a sense of belonging and community he didn’t know he was missing– he’s calmed down significantly. 

Complete and utter neat freak about his kitchen. Organizes all ingredients and spices alphabetically and dedicates separate drawers to each cooking utensil. Not to mention that at the end of each shift, he’ll make sure that the kitchen is absolutely spotless. He does not care if it’ll take him an extra hour; if everything is not in order like he left it, he’ll go mad. 

After doing community service, Saltbaker mostly just uses his laboratory to experiment with different flavors and batters for his deserts. Some of his concoctions range from mere enhancements to common flavors like strawberry to exotic flavors like dragon fruit or lychee. He’s open to new flavors!

While his large, pot-bellied frame may not look it, Chef Saltbaker is incredibly fast. When you’re working a one-man show and have a line of customers waiting for their orders, it’s completely necessary for him. Granted, a lot of the people who come in are usually complete sweethearts and are willing to wait. Nevertheless, the man’s practically a blur as he’s speeding from station to station, kneading dough one second and then preparing a batch of frosting the next. If he finds himself needing extra help, he’ll usually use magic or conjure up a salt clone. 

Though the latter doesn’t happen all too often since said clones tend to make his desserts much saltier than he would like.

Food gore makes him irrevocably angry and stressed out. Why on earth would you show him this? Saltbaker already hated wasting food, but downright ugly food or disgusting looking combos will genuinely mess him up for the rest of the day. Same thing with those images of people gripping their food too tightly. The first time Cuphead did it to an eclair in the bakery, it took every muscle of self restraint for Saltbaker to not jump over that counter and clobber a child to death. 

Speaking of, don’t ever suggest to add breadbowls to the menu in front of him. He took pride in baking that loaf of bread and you want him to massacre it?! How very dare you. He doesn’t care if it’s a popular trend, he’ll sooner slap the person who asked than waste a crumb of that bread. 

Incredibly strong, but that’s a given. The man kneads dough by hand all day and usually carries in crates and heavy bags full of groceries into the bakery. Could pick up around five grown men with ease. 

Ms. Chalice usually pops in to get extra cookies, and will often offer to help out where she can in the kitchen. She and Chef Saltbaker were kind of awkward around each other for a bit– given the whole “Hey I lied to you and your friends and tried to steal their soul” bit. However, after some time, they’re comfortable around each other to the point where you’d usually overhear their banter while they work. 

“Oh, come now, Saltbaker! You can’t put a price to our friendship!”

“Yes I can, dear. Fifty dollars.”

[etherealninfa]

Good boy/ Evil

[clanwarrior-tumbly]

''i don't have anyone anymore.'' ''you have me.'' With chef saltbaker please. Like after his bakery comes down and he is first starting off with his community service

"A-Am I free to leave? I polished all of your Winter Whale’s teeth..j-just as you requested.” Saltbaker’s teeth were chattering as he looked up at the grinning purple wizard, hoping for at least an ounce of pity from him.

“Now hold on a minute.” Mortimer hummed in thought, stroking his snowy beard. “You’re a chef, right? You can make desserts?”

“Yes, I-I can.”

“Well, my golem needs some new popsicle friends. So that’ll be your next task!” He clapped his hands together with a cackle. “Go to the parlor. [Y/n] will be waiting for you there. Help them make..let’s say..a batch of one hundred popsicles.”

Saltbaker felt his glass heart plummet. But honestly he didn’t know what he expected, though he was grateful that he’ll have help with this next chore.

After word got out that he sent the cups to steal the heavily-guarded ingredients from the guardians, he was now forced to do difficult labor as part of his punishment. The first was Mortimer, the mean wizard humbling him at every opportunity and making him work to the bone in freezing conditions. He was especially petty about the sentient ice sugar cube that came from this very place.

The same cube who the disgraced chef mercilessly shattered over and over again.

Honestly, he deserved worse for what he did to that poor fella. Knowing this cult, he was surprised Mortimer didn’t freeze him to death on the spot, so maybe this was him at his most merciful.

Not wanting to complain, he nodded obediently and searched the snowy realm for the parlor. Once inside, he wandered into the kitchen and saw you taking a batch of popsicles out and using some magic to bring them to life, smiling as your creations sprouted bat wings and eyes.

You didn’t seem bothered by the cold whatsoever. Lucky you.

Soon you noticed the glass man in prison scrubs and smiled, closing the case. “Hello. You must be Saltbaker I presume?”

“Y-Yes. I am.” He shivered, wrapping his arms around himself as he saw the popsicles glaring at him, flanking you on all sides in a defensive manner. Then he closed his eyes so he didn’t have to look at them anymore. 

In that moment, he felt like disappearing into a pile of salt.

“Don’t stare. It’s okay. He’s welcomed here.” He heard you whisper to them, but he didn’t understand why you were being nice.

Maybe you were just being polite as part of your job.

“You must be freezing. Here you go.”

Suddenly, Saltbaker opened his eyes as he felt the warmth of a coat wrapped around him. And he saw you still smiling at him--no looks of fear, disgust, or judgement.

‘Why? Don’t you know what I have done? I don’t deserve this.’

“Better?” You asked him in a sweet voice.

He just swallowed thickly, holding back the tears as he nodded. “Yes, thank you. So..shall we begin?”

............

Making dozens of popsicle batches was easy for you, but grueling for Saltbaker--considering the ones that came to life were hissing at him and intentionally whacking him in the face with their wings. They gave him quite a few scratches over the past few hours.

The way they swooped at him to attack made him think back to those pepper shakers. Back when he turned himself into a greedy, evil giant that could rival Glumstone.

Everything and everyone kept reminding him of that day. Nobody would make him forget what he did.

Yet you were the only one in the cult who was friendly. You didn’t mistreat him or even make a single remark about his crimes. Instead you just talked to him about the weather (even though it was always the same--being a winter wonderland 24/7) and the cult members that have become your family.

Saltbaker would just nod and listen with a polite smile, though when you asked about his friends and family, it was quick to falter as he just couldn’t take it anymore.

“Miss Chalice was one such friend. She was sweet..all she wanted was to be in the world of the living again. And I was helping her find a way but...then I-I betrayed her, her friends...everyone.” His hands shook as he set down the metal tray, leaning over the counter. With a sniffle he covered his eyes to hide the welling tears. “Now I’m all alone. I’m getting what I deserve. I don’t have anyone anymore.”

For a long moment, you were quiet. But you walked away from your work and stood beside him, feeling sympathetic. “You have me. I could be your friend.”

Blinking away his tears, he looked at you in astonishment. “Really? I thought..this cult despised outsiders.”

“Only if they’re brainwashed into hating outsiders. I’m just a volunteer here. Mortimer values my desserts so I still have free will. I had to strike a deal with him.” You chuckled, watching him growing bashful at his mistake.

“I see..”

“He’s not a totally bad guy..and neither are you.”

Saltbaker’s heart sunk. He shook his head. “No, I’m..far worse than he is-”

“Maybe you think so, but you’re not evil. I know you feel bad about what you did.” With a kind smile, you tugged the lapels of his coat so it covered his shoulders more. “Give it time, and this isle will forgive you. I’m sure of it. And with time you’ll learn to forgive yourself.”

Saltbaker sniffled lightly, returning the smile in a shaky manner. It was all he could do, as he didn’t wanna say anything more in fear of completely breaking down in front of you.

He had doubts the other guardians and their minions will be as kind as you were. But he knew he needed to pay up for sending those cups after them due to his own selfishness.

For your sake, he'll be on his best behavior.

Chef's Kiss

If I had the ability to travel back in time and then proceeded to tell my past self that I would be writing a Reader x Canon fanfic for Cuphead, I would be knocked tf out...

Anyways!

I found a post talking about a Reader fanfic with Chef Saltbaker, specifically the one by @starleska, and so I figured why the hell not! Although I don't have a crush on him, I am, however, in love with his fluid animation and overall design! He gives me Classic Disney Villain vibes and I am here for it!

Just so to let everyone know, this is my very first Cuphead fanfic. So be easy on me!

Content Includes: Major DLC Spoilers, Irresponsible Use of Knives, and Very Intense Flirting (Don't worry, this story is Safe for Work!)

You couldn't help but be mesmerized. You were watching an artist at work. There was no pause in his motions, no hesitation or blunder to be seen. Everything he did was perfect. Of course, he clearly had the experience and skill - something you had yet to achieve. You stood and watched as your mentor rolled up his sleeves, exposing his crystal clear forearms, and took ahold of a knife. Your heart jolted in excitement when he made the first cut into the fruit he placed onto the cutting board. Then he minced, beautifully so, the fruit into pieces and scrapped them aside. It was such a simple act, and yet he made it as if it was a craft no mortal being could ever possess.

Cooking was, indeed, a craft. Your mentor, Chef Saltbaker, said so himself.

Your fingers shook with anticipation. You wanted to try it out yourself. You just had to take that knife and give it a go! Or perhaps, it wasn't the knife that excited you. No... no, it wasn't. The constant rhythm of your heartbeat, the hypnotism, the enthusiasm. It was all because of the chef that took you in as his apprentice. Chef Saltbaker is the greatest chef in all of Inkwell Isles, that you knew well. Everyone knew well. And to be given the chance to work alongside him! That right there was a tremendous honor. And to think that all it took was a small conversation, too. It was a bright, sunny day when it happened. You felt particularly special, so you went down to the bakery to get yourself a small treat. You went inside, was greeted by him, had a friendly chat. But then things turned interesting when Chef Saltbaker noticed the book under your arm.

The book you were holding was a encyclopedia, specifically one about the occult. You were very fond with the subject, reading books upon books about anything and everything there was to learn. It just so happened that you had placed a bookmark under a chapter discussing the complexities of the astral plane. You had no idea how delighted the chef was when you told him! At that moment, you discovered that you two were quite alike. Things lead to another, and now here you were, inside his kitchen built inside a strange catacomb underneath the bakery. Considering your otherworldly interests, such a place did not phase you. In fact, you were quite amazed!

Chef Saltbaker then paused his work, lowering his knife. "My friend... You know that book you own? The one about the astral plane?", he asked, turning towards you. You nodded, interested in what he had to say. "I must admit, I never thought that I would see someone else with similar tastes. I must also admit that I'm quite surprised you didn't scream in fear when we entered the kitchen. This place is usually kept as a secret, as it should be, but perhaps we don't have to hide... certain things anymore."

Certain things? What could that possibly mean? It could be anything! And if your surroundings indicated anything, it most likely meant something sinister. You thought about all the possible and horrible things Chef Saltbaker could mean: cannibalism, poisoning, necromancy, slavery, piracy... veganism! "You see... I have discovered a spectacular recipe. It is called the Wondertart! The Wondertart is a treat only created with the finest ingredients, ingredients that only can be gathered by the most determined of folk! You must be wondering, what exactly makes this recipe so special?", he continued, "Well, it's because the Wondertart can give you the power to control the astral plane!"

You jolt up in surprise! Chef Saltbaker, Inkwell Isles' finest cook, in control of the entire astral plane? Surely, this must be some sort of joke! An elaborate prank which involved an atmosphere as spooky as a catacomb. But as you looked into his eyes, your doubt faded away. He was, in fact, serious. Completely and utterly serious. You can tell by the glow in his eyes. "Yes, my friend! The astral plane! Can you believe it? To think that I can harness it with just a small pastry! Ha-ha!", Chef Saltbaker laughed gleefully, swinging his knife in hand. Then he sighed, "However... I believe there is going to be a change in plans... The Wondertart will not grant me its power. Oh, no... it will grant us the power."

You stood in place astounded as your mentor smiled. He began to stroll towards you, his eyes now gleaming with hunger. Your heart throbbed as he got closer to you. Before you know it, you were pinned against a stone wall with him towering over you. You could feel yourself blushing immensely as you realize how close you were to him. You had every reason to be frightened: the underground catacombs, the plan to conquer the astral plane, Chef Saltbaker himself. You almost forgot that he still had the knife in his hand. But, you would be lying if you told yourself that you weren't a fan of this... dangerous intimacy.

"My dear..." Chef Saltbaker cooed, gently caressing your cheek, "You don't have to hide it anymore. I can read you like a book. Did you really think that I wouldn't notice? I'm honestly flattered! Never thought that I would be considered attractive in these parts, to be honest. Well, I'm glad you think so..." He winked. Oh my stars, he winked! At you! Is this real? Is this a dream? This has to be! There was no way Chef Saltbaker had the same feelings! "With the Wondertart, we will be unstoppable! We will become gods amongst mortals - beyond just mere lovers. Whaddya say, my dear? Will you conquer the astral plane by my side as my partner in crime?"

You felt his finger lift up your chin, his thumb gently tracing your lower lip. Without a single word, you leaped into his arms and finally - finally - crashed your lips against his. Chef Saltbaker reciprocates with a sly grin,"Oh, we're going to make wonders together, sweetie pie..."

Strawberries (Saltbaker x Farmer!Reader)

I've had two people request a fic with a farmer reader, so here y'all go! Buckle up, because this is kind of a long one...

You wipe the sweat off your brow as you begin to finish off a long day at the farmer's market. It had been a rather taxing day, from loading bushels of produce into your truck at dawn, to a busy day at the market that lasted well into the afternoon. At long last, you take a load off and sit down on an old wooden crate. You've only just begun to relax, until you hear a deep voice from behind you.

"Excuse me, could I trouble you for some strawberries?"

A bit annoyed, you sluggishly get up and turn to face your customer. He's a rather large man, and you find you are taken aback by his towering stature.

"O-of course, and how many will that be?", you manage to ask.

"Oh, just a pound will do, thank you."

Despite his intimidating appearance, the saltshaker seems to have a rather kind demeanor. You prepare the berries for him, and he thanks you with a generous tip.

"I'm terribly sorry to impose, I imagine you were just beginning to close up shop. But, you see, I've heard very impressive things about your farmstand, and I require only the very best for my recipes!", he says with a wink. You avert your eyes from his cheery grin, hoping he doesn't notice your flushed cheeks. "I see, well, I hope these are to your liking..." you reply, gesturing to the basket of berries in his hands.

"I'm known as Chef Saltbaker around the Isles. Please, come visit my bakery when you get a chance."

"Yes, of course, I could come by tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it!"

Saltbaker rests his elbow on the counter and leans in a bit closer to you. "I'd love it if you'd try my latest recipe, my take on strawberry shortcake. I hope it will be to your liking..."

And with that, you're left alone with your thoughts at the farmstand. That Saltbaker, there was no way you were already falling for him, right? The brief interaction replayed over and over in your mind. Was he flirting with you? There's no way, right?

The next day passes by in a flash. Sure, you made a few mistakes here and there at work, angered a few customers with your aloofness, but it was no matter. You get to see him again! The moment you can escape, you rush on over to the bakery. Once you arrive in town, the smell of freshly baked goods immediately leads you to your destination. You can't help but smile when you hear the Chef's humming from outside. You take a deep breath, and step inside.

"Why, hello! You're just in time!" Saltbaker calls out from the kitchen. "Give me just one moment, won't you?

While you wait, you take in your surroundings. The bakery itself is a quaint little place, in stark contrast to the extravagant-looking pastries that sit in the glass display case. Even though it's your first visit, you feel very comfortable here.

"Please, come sit down," Saltbaker says as he pulls out a chair for you at a little table. You look on in awe as he places a platter of sweets before you. As promised, the strawberry shortcake is there, but it's only one of a wide assortment of treats, each appearing more delectable than the last. You take a bite of the shortcake, and it tastes as wonderful as it looks! The combined fruits of your labor have come together to create something truly divine - the fresh, slightly sour taste of the strawberries perfectly complements the cake's luscious flavor and texture.

"So, what do you think?", asks the Chef. "Gosh, this is amazing!" you exclaim, nearly drooling. Unable to resist, you dig into the rest of the goodies upon the platter. However, it takes you a bit too long to realize you've forgotten your manners. You look up from the sweets, blushing, and cover your mouth. To your surprise, Saltbaker beams at you, resting his face against his palm. "No, please, don't hold back. I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself!"

Once you've finished, you ask Saltbaker how you could possibly repay him for such a wonderful gift.

"Think nothing of it, dear, it was my treat. Just having you here is payment enough! Well, I do have an idea. I'd be honored if you could be my special taste tester from now on."

"Yes, please! The honor is all mine!"

You leave the bakery around sunset after chatting for a while, your belly full, you heart fuller. "Special taste tester", huh? You like the sound of that. You think back to that exquisite plate of sweets. "Gee, I hope he didn't work too hard on all that just for my sake." Little do you know, Saltbaker had spent the entire night before perfecting each pastry for you.

As the weeks go by, you have the privilege of being the first to taste Saltbaker's newest recipes. Your long, often arduous days working at the farm become much sweeter, knowing you get to spend time with your favorite chef.

One day, you come into the bakery after a particularly exhausting day. The crates seemed heavier than usual, the customers more demanding. You seat yourself at the table and rub your eyes.

"Rough day, hm?" Saltbaker asks. "Perceptive as always..." you playfully chide in response. "I can't help it, you're just so easy to read!" he chuckles. He comes over to you and places his hands on your shoulders. "Well, I hate to see you so upset. Would you like a massage? It could help with all that stress you're feeling." It already feels like your cheeks are burning from his touch. "Yes, please..."

The Chef begins to work on your shoulders. You feel yourself loosening up as he carefully disentangles the knots in your muscles. He's kneading your flesh as if it were dough. "My, you're blushing... You look like a little strawberry~" Saltbaker coos as he makes his way down your back. A soft moan escapes your mouth once he reaches a tender spot. As the Chef relieves the tension in your back, the tension between the two of you continues to build. Once he finishes up, you're amazed at how limber you feel.

"Thank you so much! I feel good as new!"

"Well, you know, these hands are good for far more than just making pastries..."

A few days pass, and someone comes to deliver you a package at work. It's a little white box, adorned with a ribbon of your favorite color. You open it to find a cake meticulously decorated with swirls of buttercream frosting, with a letter alongside it. The flowery penmanship is unmistakable; Saltbaker always puts such detail and care into everything he does.

"My little strawberry,

I'm so glad I came to the market on that day. Ever since then, you've inspired me to take my craft to new heights. Every recipe I create, each pastry I bake, all just to see that adorable smile on your face. When you walk into my bakery, it's the highlight of my day. The truth is, I long to have more of you. I see you as far more than my taste tester, far more than a friend. I hope you feel the same.

-Saltbaker

A long line of customers forms as you reread the letter over and over again. You feel sort of tingly, butterflies fluttering around in your chest. "Sorry folks, but I'm afraid I must close early today!" You're unfazed by the choir of groans behind you as you hurry towards the bakery. By the time you arrive, you are a panting, flustered mess.

"There you are!" the Chef cheers. Before you know it, you've been swept up into his embrace. He spins you around, the both of you giggling all the while. Saltbaker gives you a deep kiss, releasing all of his pent up passion for you. You look forward to the night you will inevitably spend together, and all of the days to follow.

He actually is surprisingly squishy

There are certain times when you two cuddle

At night when going to bed

In the morning

When listening the the radio

He doesn't have a preference for cuddles as long as your both comfy

Though you bother usually do is spooning your the little spoon whole yes big spoon

Sometimes he lays his head in your lap while you read and he falls asleep

{ these head cannons weren't long enough! But they were fun since he's awesome! Hearts and re-blogs are welcomed along with requests and comments! }

A/N: is has all three types of HCS, including NSFW ones so please, 18+ audiences only also forgive my degeneracy

(C/W): NSFW mentions, mentions of knives

:Chef Saltbaker General headcannons:

He has a BIG kitchen in his house, that is if he doesn’t live in the upstairs of the bakery like bob belcher.

He is a man who owns 5 ovens!

Definitely had trouble deciding on how to decorate his kitchen, eventually he with with a classical look

Cooking became therapeutic for him, it already kinda was but after the events it let him feel like he had control over something

Loves to sing while he cooks!

:Relationship HCS:

Uses food and floral pet names such as Pumpkin, and honeysuckle

He is more traditional in the sense of romance, he pays for the date, he opens the doors and he of course greets his sugar plum with their favorite flowers

If you are lucky enough to marry this man he does all the cooking, but if you like to cook as well he is all about it! He’d love to cook with you!

Date nights consists of feasts he makes or going out to a fancy restaurant

This man wants two kids at the very least, six at the most! He wants a family

His love language is acts of service and physical touch

Will never take off his wedding ring, even if he outgrows it, it’s a precious reminder that he’s married to the love of his life and if he needs to he will just wear gloves so he doesn’t have to take it off

:NSFW:

Not to long, about 4 1/2 inches but what he lacks in length he makes up for in girth

An absolute sweet talker and giver when he’s not in an obsessive craze

Very romantic but a little bit on the vanilla side when he’s not being obsessive or got jealous

Now when he is obsessive is when the real show starts, he gets rough and particularly bitey

Might have a secretive knife kink but not on the reviving end

Also secretly into food stuff but too shy even when obsessive to even mention it

He’s a giver for the most part, always will be, and you can bet your ass he gives the best oral. Eating sweets and lollies all his life have give his tongue an extra skill advantage

Lord forgive me for this next degenerate thought

he feels like riding a glass dildo, but more flexible and warm

Recap:

"Thank you for letting me help bake chef Saltbaker, it was fun!"

    "Please, just Saltbaker. Or even Salty for short~" The chef cooed at you. You blushed slightly as you gave a light giggle.

    "R-right. See you tomorrow, Salty!" You started heading to the docks, already excited for the next day with the chef.

~~~

A little over a week has passed since you first visited the bakery in Inkwell Isle 4. You had already created the habit of eagerly leaving your house in the morning and heading over to the island to see your newest friend, Chef Saltbaker. Though as much as you enjoyed the time you spent with your new dear friend, you were still ultimately worried about your other friends: Cuphead, Mugman, and Ms. Chalice. You were still waiting for their safe arrival back at the bakery.

One thing you truly did enjoy about Saltbaker over the cups, though, was his maturity, gentleness, and kindness. He was always so kind and fun to be around! He always spoke with such confidence that you also adored. Not to mention, he helped you grow an even bigger love and appreciation for baking! You definitely developed a crush on him already, as well. You tried to brush it off, you only knew him for a little over a week. There's no way that it could turn to anything serious so suddenly. What wasn't helping that, however, was the fact that Saltbaker himself was pretty flirty. At first it seemed playful enough, but yesterday he seemed a bit... different. He didn't seem like his usual, jolly self you have grown to like. His gaze looked more sinister than playful every time he flirted. His pupils flashed from how they normally looked, to now yellow ones with rings around them. You just tried to shrug this off, maybe he was just turning up the heat between you two? ((Ya see what I did there? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) )) You didn't see much of a problem in that. After all, you loved it when he was flirty with you.

You snapped out of your thoughts when you finally arrived at the docks. You were so happy to see Mugman and Chalice, who was in physical form, standing not too far away.

"Hey, guys! Long time no see," you semi-joked as you headed their way, "how was your guy's adventure? And where is Cuphead?"

"Hey, (y/n)! The adventure was great! Cuphead said that he was going to meet us here before we delivered this last ingredient to Chef Saltbaker, but I haven't seen him around at all." Mugman responded. You all took a glance around before Chalice spoke up.

"Maybe he's already at the bakery with Saltbaker! C'mon, let's not keep them waiting!" You all hurried your way to the local bakery with excitement. As you headed inside, the bakery was eerily quiet. Over by the display of sweets was an opened hatch that led to a basement. You suddenly felt that off feeling again, thought this time it was stronger than before. Mugs and Chalice had to basically drag you down the creepy, spiral staircase with them. As you all reached the bottom, you heard maniacal laughter.

"Saltbaker..." Mugman hissed in a low tone, before looking back to you, "(y/n), stay here where it's safe. Chalice and I will handle him." You nodded as you watched the two cups make their way towards the crazed laughter. You kept your eye out for Cuphead, hoping he was safe if around here somewhere. When Mugman and Chalice reached Saltbaker, he stabbed a knife into the cutting board in front of them.

"Welcome back, you meddlesome, bratty cups! While you were out doing my bidding, I took the opportunity to snatch your little friend here. As much as I need those ingredients you got for me, I forgot to mention the most important ingredient of all for my Wondertart... a living soul! Once the recipe is completed, the astral plane will be mine to control!!" The maniac of a chef spewed as he moved over and revealed Cuphead trapped in a jar. The poor, scared cup brother was pleading for help while banging on the jar.

"Mugman! Chalice! Ya gotta help me!"

"Shut it!! Now, I'll be taking that last ingredient, thank you." Saltbaker said as he easily snatched the last ingredient from Mugman's grasp. The two free cups readied themselves for a fight as Saltbaker went to work on the ingredients, murdering each of them in a cold and brutal manner for his personal gain. He soon slapped his hands on the table and took a glowing, red mushroom from off the side somewhere, opened the top of his salt cap and dropped it in. His eyes went from the chaotic yellow rings to just pure red as he started growing twice his size! He clasped his hands together and snatched Mugs and Chalice up in his palm as they kept trying to fight him. While the fight was raging on, you quietly and quickly snuck your way to Cuphead.

"(Y/n)! I would say I'm glad to see you and to get me outta here, but you shouldn't even be here! You're gonna get hurt!" Cuphead scolded you in fear for your safety. You shot him a glance before trying to break the cup out of the jar prisonment.

"I'm not leaving you guys behind! I have to do something to help my friends!" You kept trying to find a way to open the jar up or even break the glass, but to no avail. As you took a second to regain your composure, you looked up at Cuphead and saw his eyes widen.

"(Y/N)!!" Before you had the chance to react, you felt a large hand wrap around your figure.

"Well, well... what do we have here?~"

Thank you for reading <3
