    Summary

    The year Louis was in the 8th grade, his mom decided to gather the families of their closest friends to go caroling. Every family would submit two names they wanted to carol to, and the entire group would drive around town, like a mass Christmas caroling parade of cars, before stopping at a house, singing, and moving on.

    Louis wasn't excited for this. It was cold, they would be outside in said cold, and he only wanted to stay warm and comfortable in the house. At least his best friend Gemma and her family are part of the caroling crew.

    As the tradition develops, so does Louis' schoolboy crush on Gemma's younger brother, Harry. But that's all it is. A silly schoolboy crush.

    Until they grow up, of course. And then it's something else.

    Summary

    Sherlock does not really do Christmas cards. They are pointless. John does do Christmas cards even though he lives at the same address as Sherlock. John has views on Christmas cards. Sherlock has views on John. And now it is Christmas Eve. Festive one-shot. Gentle Johnlock.

    Summary

    Anthea has given up her life, her own desires, even her name in service of something greater than herself. But that doesn’t mean she can’t see when someone else wants something – even if she doesn’t happen to care overmuch for that person. And it doesn’t mean she isn’t willing to help.

    Summary

    Top and Bottom Construction Co. - “We’ll get the job done, however you prefer it!”

    Louis looks up from the flyer, and back at Niall. “You must be joking?”

    Niall shakes his head, his mischievous grin only going wider. “Nope! I already researched them. They have glowing reviews AND they’re affordable. It’s perfect!”

    He pauses then to give Louis a cheeky wink. “Besides their website says they’re full service.”

    (Or the one where Louis and his best mate Niall decide to take the plunge and open a pub. The goal is to open Christmas Day, but the building renovations are proving trickier than expected. Insert: a construction company with a questionable name, a certain curly haired builder who catches Louis’ attention, and a little festive chaos along the way).

    Summary

    Louis and Zayn own The Future is Meow, a bookstore-slash-cat café, and are spreading the holiday cheer to their customers this Christmas Eve. A few morning snow flakes turn into a full-blown blizzard and before they know it, the safest place for them and their employees to spend the night is the bookstore.

    Shop regular and object of Louis' affections, Harry, is also snowed in with them— as is another man who Harry seems more than friendly with.

    Will it be a Christmas miracle if Louis survives the snow squalls, a seemingly unrequited crush, and a curmudgeonly tortoiseshell cat?

    Summary

    Harry has been at his dream job for less than three months, and he knows two things for sure; first, his project manager doesn't know what he's doing, and second, someone in the office is apparently pure evil, and no one will tell Harry who it is.

    Oh, and the guy who works in conservation at the other end of the building is the most beautiful man Harry's ever seen, even when wielding a hot iron as a weapon.

    Happy Christmas, here's to many more.

    Summary

    Louis isn't much for frills, and the coffee shop he co-owns with his best friend Liam is evidence of that. Yes, it's got a decent sized, well-kept industrial kitchen, but Louis insists that people come to coffee shops for coffee, not mediocre pastry and plastic wrapped cookies. When Liam's campaign for serving treats turns into watching a few baking accounts on whichever popular app he's on, there's one that really gets on Louis' nerves: "I Like Your Styles." With his chipper demeanor and over the top descriptions of the food he makes, Louis is sure that the (unfortunately cute) baker is full of it. Nothing that adorable could possibly be worth the hype.

    It doesn't actually take much for him to eat his words...and some quality baked goods, while he's at it.

    Summary

    Jean was alone. Hours ago he had been dropped off at the airport by Fox’s nurse and boarded the plane to LA to join his new team, his new owners, the USC Trojans. He did not bother hoping they would be kind or a major improvement over the Ravens, he knew how this worked. Despite the assurances of Renee, Kevin and Abby he knew that a broken thing like him would have no place among the Trojans. He resigned himself to the fact that his treatment the Trojans would only be marginally better than the Ravens. After all, a team could not function and succeed without the harsh discipline of the Master and Riko, the Foxes’ win had to be a miracle and a fluke. He was certain that the Foxes were an exception to the rules, exy teams had to function like the Ravens they just had to. It went double for a team as good as the Trojans.
    Follows Jeremy and Jean's life starting immediately after Jean lands in LA to join the Trojans.
