Inspired by The White Lotus, this is a story about the quiet unraveling of family, memory, and the ties that bind us, set against the still, snow-covered beauty of Aspen.

The Wilkins family appears picture-perfect: a high-powered father, a graceful, grounded mother, and two bright college-aged children. When they arrive at a luxurious mountaintop resort for a winter getaway, it's meant to be a chance to reconnect. For Maya, a 22-year-old law school hopeful, it's a brief breath after months of stress-one last trip before everything changes. For Kieran, her younger brother, it's a chance to escape the pressure of freshman year. And for Anjali, their mother, it's a chance to hold her family together-if only just a little longer.

But William Wilkins, work-obsessed and emotionally distant, arrives at the lodge with something heavier than stress. And Maya is tired of pretending nothing's wrong.

Surrounded by strangers with stories of their own-a grieving man traveling alone, a too-perfect couple on a babymoon, a trio of middle-aged women soul-searching, a loud but kind group of college skiers-Maya starts to question what connection really means, and what's worth salvaging when silence has taken root.

As the snow falls and tensions rise, past grief and present fractures threaten to surface.

Not everyone came to Solstice Ridge to heal.
But everyone will leave changed.

I rounded the corner to the hall, only to smack into something. "I'm so sorry," I apologized, reaching down to pick up a book that had fallen. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up, making eye contact with a pair of hazel eyes. "No worries," the boy replied, his voice rich and smooth, "Are you alright?" I nodded quickly, flashing a smile. I was too stunned to respond. Standing in front of me was none other than Prince Everest Dresden Macallister. "Who are you?" he asked, tilting his head curiously. "I'm Aspen," I replied, trying hard not to look away from his curious stare. "Dresden," he said, holding out his hand. I assumed he was going to shake mine, but instead he brought it to his lips, pressing a kiss against it. My breath caught in my throat, my cheeks burning. "Nice to meet you," I managed to say without stuttering. "My apologies, but I have to hurry. Miss Elizabeth has asked me to retrieve something." He nodded, stepping aside as I hurried into the room. I stood there, taking a deep breath to calm myself. Once I was done, I spotted the prince sitting by the window, the book that I'd picked up in his hand. I ducked my head and made a beeline to the door. "Aspen," he called, making me freeze. "Yes?" "Will you be attending the Charity Gala?" ------------------- Aspen's only purpose living in London was to finish her semester abroad. Or so she thought. She finds herself caught in the middle of The Royal Family and their dark past as she scrambles to sort out the course of her future. Never in a million years did she think she would find herself best friends with Prince Everest Dresden Macallister, the next heir to the British Throne. But it's not long before things start going south. Crush or no crush, Aspen doesn't have much time to prove her friendship to the future King. The clock is ticking. And time doesn't slow for anyone, Royal or not.
Dasher & The Dancer - Christmas In Aspen [a specterverse christmas special] by leelabellabooks
10 parts Complete Mature
Twas the night before Christmas, in the Darkport townhouse, When in crept a creature, quiet as a mouse; He had not a clue she slept sweetly above, With dreams that St. Nick would bring her somebody to love. With Aspen nestled cozy all snug in her bed; A bump in the night would fill her with dread; Something did stir from the room down below, And the dancer did wonder if it was the storm that did blow: With courage she rose from the sheets at the clatter, And crept quietly downstairs to see what was the matter. There in the darkness a Grinch grabbed her in a flash, Little did she know it was the man they called Dash. His sapphire eyes grew alight with a glow, When he realised he'd caught the girl named for the snow. His lips would remember the taste of her kiss; From the time they first met, on a cold night just like this. Now tied up in tinsel, captured beneath twinkling lights; The beautiful dancer was too tempting a sight. While shivering with fear the girl knew she was in strife; So she begged him and pleaded to spare her sweet life. Aspen with her wide eyes, golden and bright; In fuss and a flurry, put up such a good fight. Soon The Grinch could barely contain his delight, as he leaned in close to whisper; "Merry Christmas baby, I'm gonna fuck you tonight." .... ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ This story contains explicit erotic scenes and violent CNC (Consensual Non-Consent) BDSM themes that may be distressing to some, reader discretion is advised.
