Hans Gruber is a man on a mission. 640 million worth of bearer bonds is the goal. His only obstacle? Her.

"After that night at Nakatomi plaza you never expected to spend a weirder and most thrilling Christmas eve. But the universe had different plans and as you entered the ballroom of the palace you met a very familiar face. " Disclaimer: Hans isn't a character of mine the fanfic is inspired from the movie Die Hard.

Hans Gruber spends one last night with his lover. This story begins the day before the events of Die Hard, and we get to explore a different side of the villain of the story. A brief warning (shouldn't be a spoiler if you've seen the film)- contains subject matter of death, graphically depicts anxiety/panic attacks and grief, and contains explicit content. The first couple of sections are quite pure- it gets a bit "spicy" in chapter six (vi) but the only explicit content is in chapter seven (vii). You can feel free to skip over that if you'd like :)
