Based loosely on the story of the Christmas ceasefire during WW1.
In the winter of 1915, the English and the German soldiers made an agreement on the bloody Western front: For the observance of the holidays, there will be no war on Christmas Eve or Christmas. During the treaty, the two sides joined together in songs and carols, and celebrated the birth of their Lord. They temporarily became friends. They ate together and reportedly exchanged gifts. Surprisingly, there was even a soccer match between the sides.
This short story briefly the Christmas truce through the fictitious German soldier William Schulz. This lively and brave young man makes the feuding enemies forget about the war when sings a peaceful Christmas song.
All of this story was inspired by the song "Christmas 1915", sung by Celtic Thunder, but originally written by Jerry Lynch.

North Road {HS}
His eyes are a shade of green I can't quite put a name to. Muddy, overwhelming, pain might come close, and maybe that's why it seems so familiar. Because his arms, clad in the faded homespun my mother once made, feel like home. He's a sad, lovely song I don't know the words too but long with every ounce of my being to sing. ----------------------------- It's 1918 and an entire generation is aching in its very bones. Love and loss are bedfellows. Sometimes in the aftermath of death things grow and in the aftermath of war is life. ----------------------------- Harry Styles/ Emilia Clarke/ Sam Claflin/ Lily James (#1 in WW1)Complete

Warming His Heart (Jack Frost x Reader)
My name is Y/N L/N. I am Carols best friend since elementary school days. Scott or Santa Claus shall we say came to tell me that he's bringing me to the North Pole for Christmas. He figured it wouldn't be that big of a deal as Carol has already told me everything and sworn me to secrecy. I expected busy times, Christmas chaos and snowy weather but what I didn't expect was to fall for him. The coldest man there. Jack Frost. {I have decided that because of my delusions and my inability to stick to one story and my crushes on older men that I will be making a Jack Frost X Reader story. Specifically because I see a lot about Bernard (love him) and because there is not enough love for Martin Short's Jack Frost. Soooo here will be my attempt at a story. Note that all characters do not belong to me and I will be trying to stick to the story line, mostly. Andddd I will do my best to update.

It's a Calvin Christmas like no other - singing carols, reading 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and Scott burning the turkey. Yep, your typical Christmas at the Calvin household. ...Or so they thought! Annabelle Calvin, or 'Bell' for short, just turned 16 and finally gets to live with her dad, Scott Calvin, after her parents divorce. Just when she was having a Christmas movie marathon with her best friend Holly Clementine, they hear a loud thump from the roof. When they go to investigate what it was with Annabelle's younger brother Charlie, they see something they thought was only in their imagination. Suddenly, they are taken to the North Pole by none other than Santa's very own reindeers and sleigh. Once they arrive at the North Pole, they are greeted by Bernard, Head Elf No.1, and his younger brother Luke, Head Elf No.2, who tell them that Scott officially became the new Santa Claus as soon as he put on the suit. Join Annabelle and Holly as they both try to convince Scott to accept his role as the new Santa Claus, while trying not to risk having therapy sessions with Dr. 'I-Got-My-PhD-Out-Of-A-Cereal-Box', discovering romance along the way, and slowly come to terms with what their hearts really want. Also...did I mention they have the power to bring the holiday spirit to everyone around them?

Holly Garland on Santa's Lap [COMPLETE]
Once upon a time, I was your typical good girl, doing my job like a total elf star, no complaints. Even with the little "gift" I was born with (aka my disability), I handled life pretty well. But let me tell you, luck's never been my plus-one. What am I talking about? Oh, just my lovely name-and the Christmas curse that comes with it! Every year, without fail, while my family's out decking the halls, I'm over here getting snowed under with the worst disasters. So, yeah, all I want for Christmas is for this nightmare of a season to be over. But this year? Oh, I've really hit the Christmas tree topper. Ever since I plopped myself down on Santa's lap at my office party and made a special wish, it's been one yule disaster after another! And now, I'm stuck in this sleigh ride from hell with that red-suited nightmare, forced to follow him wherever he jingles. Sure, he might be a total angel under that fake beard-mysterious and all-but I'm not about to let myself get wrapped up like some Christmas present under the tree. My brain's still in one piece, thanks. So, seriously, sweet baby Jesus, how did a nice executive assistant like me end up sleighing through this wild holiday misadventure full of danger, romance, and all the holly jolly chaos of Christmas?!Complete
