Ambrosia is a small town baker who’s only goal is to make the best baked goods she can. When an incursion show up to wreck her day, they learn that she can do more than just bake tasty treats. She'll have to grapple with a snarky AI, a dual life, and what to bake for tomorrow. This is a Stray Cat Strut fan fiction. While not needed to enjoy this story, I recommend reading it.
