Hip Porterman always expected he'd have the wife, the kids and the white picket fence. But that was before the Army and the PTSD, before falling in love skipped him over and left him a recovering drunk and Willing, Montana's go-to guy when somebody needed a hand.
And that's exactly what Sarah Winslow needs: a hand…or at least a tow, after her car ends up in an ice-filled ditch in her last-minute attempt to escape the holidays for Mexico. How ironic that two people so committed to avoiding Christmas end up finding the true meaning of holiday cheer in each other, playing Santa one long, snowy Christmas Eve.

My Soldier
He was the boy who made her laugh in the church gardens, the one who called her beautiful every morning at work, the soldier with dreams bigger than the life they shared. She fell in love with his smile, his charm, his fire. But the man she left was not the man she fell in love with. Kind words had turned to weapons. Gentle hands became the thing she feared most. And in the silence between their battles, she realised she could not save him. The only one she could save was herself. A story of love, loss, and survival - My Soldier is a haunting tale of when love turns dangerous, and of the courage it takes to walk away.

The Fluffy Adventures of Yelena and Bucky
That night he pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. "You're gonna run like hell when you get to out onto the street. Don't stop. Don't ever stop," Was it still worth it, curled up on the cement floor? Yes. Knowing that what you're doing is good doesn't ensure that it'll ever be easy. Bucky learned that many years ago in his childhood, and over again in World War Two. So why was the world still trying to teach him that, after everything he'd been through? Pain, pain, pain, for every choice you try to make yourself. Being yourself causes the pain... that was what Hydra taught him. What Hydra wanted him to believe. And he wished he didn't have to believe it, but it was true. Of course she didn't want to lie to him. He was like hope in the darkness, even when he was part of the darkness. Every time he went through shit, he inspired her. That night when he'd pressed a paper into her hands and told her to run, to burn the paper, to never stray from its words, had had an impression on her life that she'd never really talked about. But it affected everything. Cover by @planetaryfire (thanks so much!)Complete
