Why this must be read:

“Jess needs a new nanny. And would it be too much to ask to have someone more interested in taking care of her than in taking care of me?”

An AU in which Mark is still Mark, but he's a single parent in need of a nanny that isn't going to hit on him. So he decides on a manny, and doesn't Eduardo just fill that position nicely?

This is such a lovely fic, so I saved it for Christmas Eve, when you just want all things nice.

Now Mark opens his lunch box at work and finds rice made up to look like little pandas.

And he always opens the damn box, because it’s there, and the cafeteria is too far away, and so is the minifridge on the opposite side of his office, and he has the lunch box or the red bull in the bottom drawer to choose from. And the rice pandas always win, because they are somehow really, really tasty.

And Eduardo always packs a few twizzlers as well, even though, he says, they clash with his vision.

“We could paint them over with food colouring, they could be bamboo,” Jess perks up. Her lunch is made up to look like some cartoon cats from whatever thing she watches now. She’s taken to googling various lunch boxes ideas and making Eduardo try them out with her.

“I draw the line at pretend bamboo,” Mark mutters darkly and Eduardo nods at him.

“I agree. If you were to draw the line, this is right where you should do it.”
