Snow In Love - A 2023 Advent Fic by lululawrence

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 33k | 25/25 Chapters

Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.

People thought they were already dating. Weird.

An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.

I Really Like Your Styles: The Holiday Advent-ure

by homosociallyyours

34k, Teen, Larry

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 now, 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.

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).

#1

you open your eyes at a shout of your name.

“[Name]!!”

your boyfriend was sliding across the ice at an alarming rate. About two feet away from you he picked up one of his feet to take a step, and immediately trips onto you.

“NoyaaaaAAA!”

he fell right into you, taking the both of you down crashing onto the ice, you underneath him cushioning his fall. You let out a small groan, before pausing for a second to look down at him. Much to your surprise he looks up grinning at you.

He coughs out one line,“I guess you could say… I really fell for you.”, before laughing hysterically and rolling off of you.

you take a moment to process what he just said before breaking into a laughing fit yourself. “Pffft- what the hell, out of all things, this!”

the two of you make your way over to the side of the skating rink, and use the wall to help yourselves up. As he gets up, he moves right up to you with his face in your face.

“is this not romantic enough for you?”

You blink once before you stammer out;“I can’t tell if you’re serious or not.”

not losing a beat he replies; “Thats the best kind of flirting though” with a small smirk on his face.

deciding that two can play this game, you lean in closer, look him dead in the eyes and say; “Oh yeah lover boy?”

his eyes widen so quickly, and he blushes, his mouth icing like a fish out of water. When he eventually forces the words out of his mouth they come out something akin to, “I- uh what, I have to go”

he skates off, or at least tries to (he slips multiple times) and you let out a small huff of amusement, knowing that the two of you took the same car.

Arien's Advent Calendar, 2024

25 days of TLOU fic

To say a big THANKS for supporting my fic throughout the year(s), I’m doing the Advent Calendar Fic thingamy again!  I did this last year and it became this collection of stories.

From 1 - 25 December 2024 I will be posting a short story (it will be short, I will control myself) as part of a new collection of works from Driftersverse, Making Mirrors, Interstellar Overdrive and Legend of Charro.

Beneath the cut I have a little information about the story to be written each day (universe, characters and date/era).  I’d like to dedicate each to a reader, so please claim one and I’ll write it for you.

I don’t think all days will fill up, but I’d like to give everyone a chance to get one they really like, so at this stage each person can claim ONE day only - I’ll open it up to more later on. You’re welcome to send me a few in order of preference in case someone has already beaten you to the punch on your favourite, and I haven’t yet updated the list.

If you would rather claim as anon, please give me a name or an emoji or something - just so I can identify you against your chosen day and so we don’t get multiple anons muddled up. 

Please send claims via asks so I can keep track of them in one place and if not anon, include your AO3 name (if you have one).

Happy Holidays! (And thanks to everyone who voted and helped me decide what to offer!)

DD – Driftersverse (my TLOU sandbox, Tess lives) MM – Making Mirrors (Snowqueen of Texas/Parallel Lines - no Cordyceps AU) LOC – Legend of Charro (the Western) IO – Interstellar Overdrive (70s AU) AU – Alternate Universe, unrelated

“OC/Canon, any universe” is a new entry this year.  This means I’ll write a story with the canon listed and you can choose either canon or one of my original characters to appear in the story with them, plus specify universe in which it takes place.  (Eg, Frank and Joel, IO).

Please be kind and keep it to characters I am known to write (I may refuse a claim if you start waving Owen or Mel at me) and who could reasonably interact with one another.  I’ve got enough writing to do, don’t break my brain!

“Mystery AU” is exactly what it sounds.  Last time one of these spawned IO so who knows what could happen?

“Crack box” is the one crack fic I’ll write.  Last year’s took me by surprise, but this year I’m reserving a space for it.

Where are all the Tommy/Maria fics?  They’re still getting three more stories to themselves, so that’s coming probably 2025 at this stage. O_O

1. DD Tess/Joel, 2022 @justplainsalty 2. IO Joel and Ellie, 1977 @march-flowerr 3. LOC Tess/Joel, sweetheart years @seethesunny 4. DD Tess/Joel and Tommy, 2005 @dancingonmoonbeams 5.

Some Sentences Sunday

(Okay this is actually exactly seven sentences I am a little proud of myself. This is a short excerpt from Not So Silent Night my advent calendar fic comes out on Dec 21st.)

Sure, he can admit, in the deepest recesses of his mind, at two in the morning, when the Liszt is playing forlornly like some kind of bugle call for grief, that whoever the fuck lives next to him is on another level with the keys.  It is a little hard to feel warm and fuzzy about the world class concert he has been on the receiving end of, on a near nightly basis, when it is coming at a time when Alex should be asleep. No. Should denotes that it is okay that he spends hours every night staring at the wall like he is going to magically gain some kind of x-ray vision that will both allow him to see what is going on next door, and somehow through radioactive osmosis, stop the damn piano player from keeping him up.  Maybe when he was in undergrad he wouldn’t have minded. Maybe in law school he would have been up anyways, and the music might have been a nice touch. But now?

Thank you to all of the amazing people who tagged me (I did not think I was going to post today but y'all put on the PRESSURE so here I am lol) so to @hgejfmw-hgejhsf @happiness-of-the-pursuit @14carrotghoul @anincompletelist @suseagull04 @notspecialbabe @orchidscript @kiwiana-writes @firenati0n this abomination is all your fault

December 16th - Father Kreiner Tales of the TARDIS (only ten days late!)

“No,’ he breathes quietly. “No.” Stronger, but still in the breathy rasp of someone’s lungs that were thousands of years past their use by date. He shouldn’t be making any noise at all. He should be on the floor, blood in his throat, a boot-shaped hole in his chest. He should be twenty-seven and in Archway. He should be bleeding out in the arms of the man he had vowed to kill. 

He kicked out at the indistinct shapes in front of him, vision blurred by that buzz of desperation he had felt asking to go back, to have never been taken in the first place. But through the static in his ears, through the sluggish pump of his dusty blood through leaking veins, he hears the twang of something familiar abused. Something that didn’t belong to him anymore, had belonged to him for years. Belonged to the new him and somewhere someone distant was aching at the possibility of a different Fitz Kreiner playing it, picking out chords of songs that he hadn’t written. 

“Now that’s hardly fair to an old friend.”  

Him.

There’s a dull thud in his chest where he thinks his heart might have been once upon a time, and what powers his legs will no longer follow his commands. 

“Why aren’t I dead?” he croaks out, and there is a shuffling noise behind him. “Was it you?”

“No, it wasn’t.” And that turns him around, the surety in the voice, but that’s not- there is no one in a green velvet coat, the nap he could still feel on his fingers occasionally back when they had the working nerves to feel. The man staring back at him is so much older, loose curls still framing a face that is now lined heavily around the eyes and mouth, stubbled and disheveled. His lips pull down at the corners, and Kreiner remembers what it was to have lips. Remembers blood trickling down those lips to land on the hands that held him. 

“Why am I here?” Why aren't you dead, he didn't ask. Where is the boy pretending to be me, where is the Grandfather? Where are they? 

“I don't know.” And he wanted to growl in response but knew his throat could not stand the strain. There was none of that- he grimaced to remember, feeling his cheeks crack under the mask - the exuberance and curiosity he had remembered from that oh so brief forever ago he had spent with the Doctor. He would almost believe the Doctor to have been fully caught up in the Faction were he not seemingly capable of impossibly worming his way out of every fatal consequence his actions had led to. For himself, if not for his companions, and Kreiner rubbed his chest where the thing that was not his heart still thumped uncomfortably. 

“There are,” and the Doctor’s hand so delicately trailed over something it took Kreiner far too long to recognise as having once been a TARDIS console, “memories in this place.” He suddenly threw a crooked grin at him and Kreiner almost swayed forwards towards it but there was still coldness behind those eyes. “Perhaps this is where all the things I have forgotten congregate.”

Now he could look away from the Doctor without that buzzing behind his eyes, Kreiner did. The overspilling shelves holding photographs, toys, skulls. Pieces of architecture that sank into the walls in impossible ways. Diaries with pages piled loose around them, a single high heeled shoe, broken communication devices. A battered guitar that had once been loved by someone long departed.  

“How right,” he rasped, “that we should be here together then. Only I never forgot you, Doctor.” 

“No, I don't suppose you did, Fitz.”

“Kreiner,” he hissed, and the Doctor looked so sadly at him. He wanted to rage at him again, clutch that soft throat in his hand, but there was little point. The Doctor hadn't taken him back, hadn't left him that life, and now he was dead. Or as good as. He was so very, very tired. 

“Tell me, Doctor,” and he was glad the mask hid the wreck of his face for this, but it couldn't conceal the trembling in his sole remaining hand, clawed fingers rattling against each other, “tell me about the life I could have had if I had stayed that Fitz.”
