    Summary

    Minori first hears that word when she’s ten years old.

    “Well, no, that is what a crush is, but…you can’t have a crush on a girl,” Ayano says.

    Minori blinks once, then twice. “What? Why?”

    “Well, it’s just one of those things you’re not supposed to do! Like…” Yui leans in and drops her voice to a whisper. “Well, my mom said it’s like how kids aren’t supposed to date adults.”

    “Yeah, my dad said girls are only supposed to like boys and boys are only supposed to like girls. Anyone else is…gay.” Ayano says that word like it’s a curse - like she could get in trouble just for uttering it.

    Summary

    Ed Teach is in his hometown of Revenge, New York, visiting his mom over the Christmas holiday. This Christmas was supposed to be different — he’d finally gotten a boyfriend and could stop his mom’s worrying about how alone he was.

    Then Ed had walked in on Jack, balls deep inside of someone else in Ed’s bed, when he came home early the night before their train home.

     

    Merry Fucking Christmas to me.

     

    While Ed is trying to figure out how to walk back an out-and-out lie about having a boyfriend, he runs into former classmate Stede Bonnet — a certified snack who Ed had his eye on back in the day, but the rules of high school were very clear: goths and jocks don’t mix. Not even dorky, sexy jocks.

    When Stede hears about Ed's dilemma, he offers a solution to both their problems:

    Pretend to date and get their families off of their backs.

     

    Christmas Gentlebeard fluff featuring heavy mutual pining, fake dating, horrifically Down Bad Ed Teach, and other tropes

    Summary

    Izzy knows his scent is disgusting. He knows it.

    He’s known it since he presented and his sister cared for him through his first heat with a rag held to her nose. He has spent his life hiding it, covering it up, drinking daily suppressant tea and chewing on ginger root.

    It works, for the most part, but every so often his body won’t take it any more, needs to release his hormones and go through heat whether he likes it or not. He tries to get as far away from port as possible when he feels it starting. When he’s really desperate he’ll hire an Alpha and pay them extra to shut the fuck up. It isn’t ideal, but it’s fine.

    He’s fine.

     

    or; Izzy has spent his life feeling broken, but maybe all he needed was the right Alpha to prove him wrong.

    Summary

    After revealing to his ex-wife that he has a boyfriend, Stede ends up promising to bring him to the Christmas Eve dinner they always have together – Stede, Mary, her new husband, and the kids.

    Problem is, it's a lie. Stede has never been more single. And now, he needs a plan. Or rather, four plans.

    Plan A: Find a boyfriend before Christmas Eve.
    Plan B: Find someone to pretend to be his boyfriend before Christmas Eve (Lucius will jump in, if necessary, but Mary sort of knows him, so it's not ideal).
    Plan C: Pretend to break up with non-existent boyfriend right before Christmas Eve. The pros are possible sympathy points, the cons are the non-zero chances that Mary will figure out there never was a boyfriend in the first place.
    Plan D: Come clean.

    Stede really doesn't want to do plan D.

    Summary

    “Are you worried about him?”

    “Who? Partitio?”

    “Crick,” Throné said, rolling her eyes. “Are you worried about him?”

    Temenos snorted at that. “Worried?” he repeated. “Whatever for?”

    And that gave her pause for a moment, frowning as she thought to herself. She glanced out at the darkness. “He’s a good man,” she finally said, her eyes saying a million things neither of them could articulate.

    Temenos turned away, wind tousling his hair. “I suppose he is,” he said with a humorless smile. “But all the more reason not to get too attached, hmm?”

    (In which Temenos decides to go on a late night stroll)
