Elmer has always stayed behind in his quiet, snow-covered Maine town, balancing two jobs and caring for his grandmother. Life is slow and steady-but beneath the calm, memories of Smith, his childhood love who left for Boston after sophomore year, linger like frost in the corners of his heart.
When Smith returns after five years, the past and present collide. Snowy streets, frozen ponds, and familiar feelings become the backdrop for quiet confessions, gentle gestures, and the slow unraveling of old wounds. Amid winter's hush, Elmer discovers that some love endures, and some hearts never truly let go.
This Winter, and You is a tender story of nostalgia, longing, and second chances in a small Maine town where every snowflake holds a memory.

All I Want Is You
"I can't believe today's nearly over already..." Cas mused, a little nostalgic. "Did you get everything you wanted for Christmas?" He asked and I smiled, taking his hands in mine and squeezing them gently. "Not yet..." I denied and Cas frowned, puzzled. "How come? What was it you wanted for Christmas?" He asked and I smirked, raising my hand to his cheek and caressing it. "All I want is you..." As a blanket of snow settles across the bustling city of Aiwiy, Christmas lights adorning the city's towering buildings and its pedestrian-packed slaloms of streets with the holiday looming ever closer, one budding adult finds himself begrudgingly trudging across the city in search of not only presents but for the point to it all. His name? Theodore Edwards, or Theo for short - twenty-one years young and pretty good-looking with swished back chestnut hair, melted chocolate eyes you could get lost in, a piercing on each ear, six feet in height and in, um, irresistible charm... at least, that's his opinion. It's not that he hates Christmas. No, he just never really got it; never really felt that magical Christmas spirit... that sparkle. That is until he discovers something he didn't know he was searching for. A laughter and blushing-filled adventure of love, discovery and, unavoidably, Christmas - All I Want Is You is a gay novella that hopes to add some warmth to an inexplicably cold winter, as fluffy as freshly fallen snow and sweeter than the most indulgent hot chocolates.Complete
