I see a spark in the making by May_39898 for stupidthingsgoodoutcomes

Summary
They watch a Christmas movie JJ’s never seen before, the kind with way too much snow, actors who look like they’ve never been cold a day in their lives, and a happy ending you can clock from a million miles away. When it gets late, Big John glances toward the window, where rain has started tapping hard against the glass. JJ follows his gaze and thinks, Hopefully snow later. Not for the magic of it—he’s learned better than that—but so he can pack a handful (probably more) down John B’s shirt and make him squeal like a wounded seagull.
“You staying over?” Big John asks, voice rough but casual, like it’s no bigger a deal than when he asked JJ earlier if he wanted seconds.
Or, in other words, this is my Secret Santa prompt for the beloved Stupidthingsgoodoutcomes, where JJ learns throughout the years that Christmas belongs to the people who care enough to stay; and yes, very goofy, very co-dependent Jaybe energy coming right at you!

But Without You I'm Incomplete (Oh, I Think It Must Be) True Love by May_39898

Summary
“He’s just really sunny. Like, everything feels better when he’s around. But he doesn’t get a lot of… good stuff. Not like we do. And I think he needs someone to love him. I just… I love him. A lot.”
Pope looked thoughtful, then shrugged. “That’s okay. You can like whoever you want. I think it’s nice.”
John B nodded, the tight feeling in his chest easing a little. He didn’t have the right words for what he felt—not yet—but he knew it mattered.
Even in third grade, it mattered.
OR
An intimate exploration of John B’s attempts to understand and define the profound connection he feels with JJ over the years.

Summary
He still didn’t totally get why he cared so much—why he kept looking for signs JJ was okay. But maybe he did know. Because no one deserved to come home to the kind of shit JJ did.
Not even a guy he barely knew.
So he knocked.
OR
John B, newly evicted and lonelier than he wants to admit, moves into 2A—right next door to JJ Maybank in 2B, a classmate he barely knows. But thin walls and the angry voice of JJ’s father, Luke, make it harder and harder to pretend he doesn’t hear what’s really going on—and even harder to stay a stranger.

Summary
John B’s always noticed JJ’s firsts—the quiet ones no one else sees. The first time he told the truth without flinching. The first time he reached out, not because he was in pain, but because he wanted to. They’re small things, easy to miss. But to John B, they mean everything. Because each one is JJ letting himself be known. Letting himself be loved.
OR
Years later, John B writes those first down—the quiet turning points that made them who they are now.

Summary
Carlos is in his final year of high school band with his best friend Iris Blake, thinking nothing about it would be too different, play some fun pieces and have a good time.

Summary
TK tries to get comfortable, ignoring the burning behind his eyes and the uncertainty ahead, absently squeezing Carlos' hand with his taped fingers, paying no mind to the radiating pain that shoots up his arm over the action. His attention has been stolen, anyway, by an all-too-familiar black-and-white scene filling up the tiny TV screen. His heartbeat is pulsing in his ears as he shakily drops the remote onto the table. George tells Mary he'll give her the moon, and TK feels understood down in his marrow. Just say the word, and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.
Or, their car versus some black ice sure can dampen the holiday spirit.
