Christmas is a time of warmth, comfort, and family gatherings, when homes are filled with laughter and the scents of festive treats, while the cold streets remain almost deserted. Yet, not everyone finds joy and peace during this holiday. Oliver, a twelve-year-old orphan living in a damp, dreary cellar, can only watch the festivities from afar. He has no family, no friends - only a small goldfinch named James, the sole ray of light in his bleak life, who never leaves his side.
   Despite his solitary existence, even children like Oliver dream of miracles at Christmas. On this cold evening, driven by hunger and hope, the boy ventures out from his hiding place and into the streets of his city. He is searching not only for food but also for a fragment of warmth that he so desperately lacks. Will he find this cherished miracle, or will he be met with even greater coldness from the world around him? His Christmas story will tell about it...

With Or Without You (Completed) by LaraRuze

Oliver looked on amazed as his witch dipped a little backwards, his hand still had a light grip on her upper arm. To an onlooker it would seem like they were in the midst of a slow dance. Oliver kept on watching as her lips uplifted themselves into a pleased smile. Her nose crinkled as another snowflake joined the first one. Her one had stretched out to catch the shiny, multicolored cloud particles. Soon, her woolen cap also got decorated with snow. She sighed out a smokey breath with her eyes fluttering close in the bliss of this moment. And the sight took Oliver's breath away. 'You...,' Oliver mumbled, 'You look...' 'What?' Elli hummed closing her eyes, the smile was still there and so was her addictive bliss. Oliver didn't know his mouth had parted open slightly, he felt a thirst like never before engulfing his very being. 'You look...,' He tried again, a lump was forming in his throat. Hearts beat in rhythm and they beat together fast, it was as if they would keep it up like that until they could combust hand in hand. But Oliver forced himself to return back to reality. Getting a grip of himself, he finished his dangerous sentence finally. 'You look like Santa Claus!' Or what else? Oliver mentally chastised himself for even thinking of saying it aloud that she looked beautiful indeed, absolutely gorgeous, like an angel of mischief, a true witch - a white, beautiful one in that case. He couldn't risk saying all that to her and inflate her already oversize ego bag, he couldn't bear having her walk all over him in pride and... whatever. Elli gasped and stood straighter now, her outstretched hand in it's own accord landed straight on his chest, right over his heart in a - what was supposed be a punishing slap. Oliver hissed. 'This acidity!' *You're Still The One, Book 3* ~~It's difficult for them to be with each other, but then, it's also difficult for them to be without each other. ~~

The Forest by _Tiny_Stories_

Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved. But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees. As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest. Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different. This time, even the humans are in danger. ❤️❤️ Updates: When I can ahh❤️❤️ ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning --- This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)

Cold Shards and Warm Stars (OliKase-FukaOli) by LumiAgardite

Oliver and Yohi - mutant brothers, fled from a laboratory on a cold winter night... Their escape was aided by a secret organization dedicated to restoring "special people" to normal life. Thanks to this organization, the brothers fled to America, starting anew. Oliver resumed school, made a bunch of cool friends, and life seemed to be getting back on track. However, his tranquility was constantly disrupted by a quiet and cold classmate who incessantly watched him, fixated on one small peculiarity of Oliver... Trigger warning: Self-Harm, Bullying, Injuries/Blood/Pain, Mention of Alcoholism, Suicidal Thoughts, Offensive Jokes, Homophobia We should also say that for English speakers our style of punctuation in dialogs is a bit "different", at least we haven't come across books with this style. You will understand it easily, but we have to point it out!
