Every year since I remember, we spent Christmas in our cabin. Tucked away in the middle of nowhere. With snow outside and the log-fire burning bright. Everything felt like a film set. It was the perfect Christmas setting. But this year everything changed when mum invited their childhood friends to join us.
Thing is I haven't seen them in years. Mum and dad are always meeting up with them. Going here and there for the weekend but I never could go because the flights would clash with school and when I got to an age where I could choose, I'd always choose to stay at home.
So how I see it, this is going to be one extremely awkward Christmas.
Especially when their son is my age.

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
The Christmas Promise
Maahi hasn't celebrated Christmas since she lost her husband and the father of her two kids, Hazel and Harsh, on the night of Christmas Eve. Moving to a small French town in the Alps, was meant to be a part of moving on - to build a life with her two kids and lock herself inside the walls built out of her children's desires and demands and her hectic schedule. Except, when Arjun - her colleague, and unfortunately, also the man she's terribly attracted to - comes knocking on her doorstep on a snowy Christmas Eve, bringing her kids presents and sharing wine with her in her kitchen, Maahi suddenly finds the walls around herself crumbling down. And so, when he asks her to promise him a night when she'd let go, she agrees. After all, he's leaving the town on Christmas morning to spend the rest of the holidays with his family. But then, the night unfolds into something unexpected, and Maahi suddenly finds herself wishing for things she cannot have. Can she really trust her heart again, especially when she knew what it led to?Complete

It all started on a day definitely too hot to be a mid-December day, I was in my house in California with my family, ready, perhaps not quite, to celebrate the Christmas holidays with my relatives, knowing they would make it a damn hell.Complete

🎄 Underneath the Tree 🎄 Zarry
Covering his eyes with his left hand, Harry sighs, interrupting his mom. "Fine, I'll bring him over. But I'm not promising anything because he has a family too and he might want to be with them."

"Love you," Harry replies numbly, before whispering a low "Fuck" once the line is dead. Wonderful, truly wonderful. How is he going to find a boyfriend in two fucking weeks? This is karma, actual karma for lying about a boyfriend that doesn't exist. He learns about the inner workings of the human mind all day and then he goes and pulls this kinda shit himself.

Lucky!
Quote Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect. Now where to begin? I'm Enid Lloyd. I have a sister and two loving parents, note my sarcasm. My parents never showed any care or love my way. They were always addicted to Esme, my older sister. As usual, we took a trip to our hometown, London for the winter. I didn't expect it to turn out like that. Really, I didn't expect it!

Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️
Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.Complete

Persistence (George Weasley x Reader)
This did start out as an OC, but you know, people want reader stories. I did it in first person POV, let me know and maybe I'll change it. I just kinda prefer reading these reader x character stories like that. You are a fifth year student and very closed off, growing up in a house that lacked love and affection. Somehow, you end up spending half of Christmas vacation at the burrow and it seems that George Weasley is going to be the death of you. I tried. TRIGGER WARNING - character doesn't have a good relationship with her parents DISCLAIMER: I very obviously do not own any of these characters. Also, not really mature, but does have some language.Complete
