rewind | villa | chaptered [31/31 complete]

Zephyr made it big time when she left Love Island with her boyfriend, Elijah. After catching him in her backstage dressing room with Arjun, an unfortunate accident lands her back in the Villa on Day 1 one year ago, except this time, she’ll make sure she wins no matter the cost. The only question is, will she win the money or the love of her life?

we do but friends don't | au villa | one shot

“I don’t want to do this,” Jordyn said, her voice cracking with every syllable. She’d grown to be fond of all four of the people standing there, although she was most definitely closer with Lottie, Gary and Bobby. Truth be told, she liked the old Hannah better than the one standing in front of her. Hannah seemed less than genuine when she returned and it only angered Jordyn to see her with Bobby when he deserved the world.

evenfall | au | chaptered [2/6 work in progress] [a gift for @/caitkaminski]

Addison Swan was forced to move to Beddgelert, Wales to live with her father, Charlie, but she soon starts to realize there's more to the town than she thought.

someone better suited | villa & post-villa | one shot

Dallas Holt is down on his luck but when he has the opportunity to enter the Love Island Villa in exchange for $20,000? He’d be stupid not to take it. The only catch? He’s not entering as himself; he’s entering as “Dylan.”

end game | villa | one shot [a gift for @/mrsbsmooth]

For those of you following along at home, this is the part of the story where the female love interest rejects the male protagonist so harshly, he should recoil and retire to a life of loneliness and solitude. But lucky for us… Elliot is two things: one, he can’t take a hint when slapped in the face with it, and two, he hates to lose when he doesn’t understand what went wrong.

let's play | au | one shot [a gift for @/whatisreggieshortfor]

Elliot lifts his head slowly, his Adam's apple bobbing as if he was swallowing every inch of his fears. Flipping a switch, his expression quickly turns mischievous – a crooked smirk she’s never seen on his face and that bloody dimple on the left that she’s always wanted to press her lips to. “Well, I’m not one to back out of a game.” His voice is smooth as velvet, another first in hearing his tone sound so alluring. He quirks a brow, hand cupping her face as he leans in close enough for his scent to surround her in a dizziness that could only be cured by his lips on hers. “I do quite like to win, as long as you want to play?”

define: falling | au | one-shot [a gift for thesepromises]

falling /ˈfôliNG/ verb 1 : to descend freely by the force of gravity. 2 : to come by chance. 3 : to pass suddenly and passively into a state of body or mind. Serena Wallace hates Hamish Kent… Or maybe she’s falling in love with him.

[⭐] fast car | villa | one-shot [finale night rewrite]

Acacia had the opportunity through his television screen to make him fall harder and harder without lifting a finger. He watched her look across the lawn and twist her face into the most hideous expressions– nose scrunched, tongue poked out, eyes crossed– but Andy didn’t laugh. The time she ran onto the challenge platform and did a clumsy cartwheel only to fall flat on her bum as she fell into a fit of giggles– Andy didn’t laugh. How she would create a different facial expression on pancakes every morning, hoping for even a faint tug at his lips– Andy didn’t laugh... But Hamish did.

[⭐] holidate | au | one shot [a gift for @/caitkaminski]

When Cece Singh gets the idea from her Aunt Priya to bring a Holidate to all of their holidays, she knows just the right guy for the job. The only rules? 1) You'll be one another's plus one as long as you're single. 2) Leave no Holidate behind. 3) No catching feelings.

imperfect & flawed | villa | one shot [post-casa hideaway rewrite]

Zoe liked men that were mature. Sophisticated. The type that knew how to pair just the right glass of Merlot with an Italian dish. She loved a man that dressed in a suit—perfectly tailored and crisp. He dressed well, but he’d change into his gray sweatpants and cuddle her on the couch. Leaning in, he’d kiss her tenderly. So slowly that her heart pounding behind the bars of her ribcage would burst. The perfect kind of man—that was what she liked. But Hamish was not that.

[⭐] it'll cost you | au | chaptered [3/? on indefinite haitus]

Hamish Lennox-Ross hated Natasha Moradi. But Hamish needed a date for all the weddings and events he needed to attend. And Nat needed someone to fund her lifestyle. One thing was for certain: it'll cost you. But how much?

[⭐] on the market | villa | chaptered [6/? work in progress] (S9 Villa)

Hamish Lennox-Ross didn't want to go back into the Villa, but after some persuasion from Marshall, he takes another chance. Except this time, he's on a mission to win. The only issue is that Cheyenne Whalen might actually be his perfect match—and the perfect person to blow his entire plan.

[⭐️] off the market | villa | chaptered [11/11 complete] (S6 Villa)

Hamish Lennox-Ross doesn't do serious relationships. He had a plan– come on the show to appease his father, get dumped on purpose by being the most repulsive man possible, gain back his bank account. A fool-proof plan until Ava Connolly offers him something more. What's the saying? Don't hate the player, hate the guy pretending to be in a happy couple with your girl.

sinderella | au | one shot (attached to 'it'll cost you')

He tugs her into the cloakroom, quickly pressing her back to the closed door. His fingertips delicately trace her jawline as his lips pull into a wicked smile. It should be a crime how intoxicating the scent of lemon and bergamot is on his skin. Leaning in, he dips his head, kissing her neck and sending a shiver down her spine. Greedy hands grip into her waist and yank her into him as he whispers into her ear, “So does Cinderella have a name?”

Was it really happening? He had to have been dreaming. He wasn’t big, rugged and buff like Hazeem. He couldn’t be cool and collected like Kobi. He’d never be as handsome as Dylan. There’s no way he could ever be charming or suave like Youcef… He was just… him?

Inside the bustling, busy city of Liverpool, there comes a tale you certainly never learned in school. A record store sits on Paul Street in the heart of the town, and here, my dear reader, is where the start of our story is found. Ask any of the townsfolk, they’ll tell you the same: “There’s no place like home by the fire on Christmas Day!” All the windows of the stores are flocked with care, but there sat one store with its window display bare.

He starts to walk over, his heart rate racing faster with every step closer. He pulls his phone out and peeks at the time. 11:59 pm. It’s almost time. He had a speech prepared, but it’s since been wiped from his memory. He cannot remember even one syllable of that speech.

[⭐] and the day after that, too | au | chaptered [13/13 complete]

Summer Reynolds fell in love with a boy from overseas when she was eighteen. Ten years later, she can’t say much has changed– even if it has for him.

[⭐] collateral | villa | chaptered [3/? wip]

Ariana Navarro wasn't looking for anything serious when she hooked up with a wealthy attendee at a wedding she was hired to do photography for...but then she would have called him if she hadn't lost his number. Tom Beresford-King has never had much luck with relationships and that didn't change after he met a wedding photographer...who never called him after a one night stand. He told her the universe said they should meet again, and fate agreed. Too bad Ari's happily coupled with a part-time comedian and a cute baker has her eyes laser set on Tom. But sometimes there's collateral damage when it comes to love.

The town of Villa Rosa, North Carolina seems like a normal place. The people live ordinary lives, the kids go to school like anywhere else, but the truth? It’s the most evil, vile place in the world. The Disney characters were ripped from their stories and sent to the one place where they no longer had their happy endings: our world.

mon amour | villa | chaptered [edit in progress]

He used his index finger to tilt her chin up as she stood on her tiptoes. He cupped her face gently and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’re playing a dangerous game here, mon amour.” She placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down gently. She knew she was trembling, she knew that this could only spell out trouble for her. She didn’t care.

[driptape]

think of your ship meme for h & a

in my humble opinion which one of them:

spikes the eggnog? acacia but only if his siblings aren’t around

hangs the stockings? both of them because why wouldn’t they ? lol 

leaves cookies and milk out to keep up with the santa tradition? both of them and with his siblings until they have a family of their own 

“accidentally” throws away the fruitcake. holt lol our forgetful baby

goes overboard on the whipped cream? holt ? but only if the season’s over . otherwise i think he’s semi strict with his diet

is the inevitable christmas grinch? neither of them . especially when they were in college since they were simply obsessed with spending time together . 

wakes up first on christmas? holt . he’s used to being up early and since his family celebrates christmas more traditionally . everyone’s excited to open gifts that morning while her fam opens gifts once the clock strikes twelve .

rolls their eyes as the same cheesy carol plays in the stores for the millionth time? it’s either neither of them or holt ?? babes idk

starts playing christmas music the day after halloween? acacia because christmas is her favorite time of year after holt’s birthday

decorates the christmas tree? post grad both of them . they purposefully decorate together

[reacty]

So here we are with Yvette S4↓

But first...

And↓

😑😨😭↓

Why...those two can't be happy

..................................................................

..for FIVE MINUTES!!!

😡↓

Ok now let's GO!!!↓

After that was supposed hottest and sweetest moment ever, Yvette is out of control;

MC: "She(Yvette) looks like one of those Goddesses from Mythology, the vengeful kind #1 forged in fire#2"

Me:😯 MC you're very poetic!👍

The whole scene broke me in tears they were so happy: Yvette takes the bed in water(since was on fire),Acacia good pup bark at it since she believe its harming her mama,

Yvette first calm Acacia down before the pup harm herself🥲 and then check on MC...then both of them start laughing

Yvette and MC: "were silly, and yet we worry more about the other then myself”🥲

Me:My tissue now!😭 YOU'RE NOT BEING silly....Yvette,MC you are in love and worried each other like a true couple🤜🤛

Lazareth and Vinca comed to see what's going on!?!

Trudy comes along them,its seems that they were studing helps for Yvette for them

Yvette at a random demon how you to look at MC.

MC:😳,I kinda forget a I was half naked with Yvette(don't worry MC,you're forgiven😏)

Me:black comedy at its finest🤣

...😨 and Yvette mad with blind fury she slice demons left right and ask to Trudy if she somewhat caused this...Vinca,MC and Lazareth comes to defend to defend Trudy and calm down Yvette.

Yvette: I'm sorry MC you deserve the world.😭 .

MC:You're worth it.

They're square one😨,bitter comfort aside;

They go after Vinca to do some test to see what triggered the flame again,but the test failed and MC ask Yvette what she wants:

Yvette: "Revenge on Vuzgamad"#3

So they go to Vuzgamad sealing place,while share her worst fear losing her happiness ! Her happiness ? MC

MC:Tell what makes you happy

Yvette:the time I've spent with you the car shop,your mother,you...not being Greed..being me..Yvette Holte,to build a life with MC.

At sealing place Trudy officially join the disfuctional family that is the Deadly Sin Circus and start to pull her weight with her Virtue power..With no result

Yvette wants to annihilate Vuzgamad, Vinca reveal that is not recommended given that damaging Vuzgamad in the wrong way, damages yvette as well.

Yvette: I'm already damaged!

Vuzgamad takes my...feel..feel..MC..feeling MC,Vuzgamad she takes...that from me.

#1]This quote/phrase takes a whole(and and sad meaning on Wrath route)

#2]I think the Goddess of fire who best represent Yvette: is the polinesian goddess Pele,is the goddess of volcanoes and fire and the creator of the Hawaiian Islands.

She have many names and epiteths:the fitting one us→ Ka wahine ʻai honua ("The earth-eating woman")

MC stand as:A kupua (demigod), Kamapuaʻa is best known for his romantic pursuit of the fire goddess Pele, with whom he shared a relationship(how good was depend on the writers and or authors). Despite Pele's power, Kamapuaʻa's persistence allows him to turn her lava rock into fertile soil.(MC bringing the best in Yvette,turning her {methaporical}bad scorching land in good fertile soil)

Lilikalā Kameʻeleihiwa describes him as "defiant of all authority, bold and untamed," and states that he "recalls the pig nature that is dormant in most people . . . . (Treacherous) [MC IS ALWAYS LOYAL] and tender, he thirsts after the good things in life—adventure, love, and sensual pleasure . . .

#3]I hate so much Vuzgamad,she surpassed Echidna from Astoria and ragyo kiryuin from kill-a-kill as worst mother ever! And since Astoria,Havenfall is for lovers(Wrath and her troupe make a cameo appareance on JD specials and Razi younger brother appear on Malakai route and on Villainous Night series[Renzei]) and if we romance Aurora of GIL......this world is a big screwed up!!! Is a good thing that Vuzgamad never make friends with echidna....🥶🥶🥶

[acaciasselfinserts]

(Acacia? Another story today??? Yeah. @anti-jaina. I continued the color soulmate au. It's honestly really fun).

It had been a few months after the Galra's invasion, most of us were stuck in the Garrison, trying to survive and ride this out. I had unfortunately experienced seeing my guardian, Adam, being killed. I don't remember much of what occurred after but Mr. Holt said I yelled at Sanda and stormed off to Peach to fight the fleet myself. I do get nightmares from it quite often, as well as ones about Lotor.

I leaned my head on my hand as I picked at my food. Across from me, Rizavi was chatting with Ina, and Kinkade was busy reading a book on yeast. James was next to me looking over a list on what we had to do that day. He turned to look at me.

"Acacia, the two of us are going to do an inventory check on our medical supplies today," he looked to Rizavi, Ina, and Kinkade, and told them of their job.

---

"we have 200 boxes of this pain med." I pointed my stylus at the big box. James nodded.

"Looks like we've checked everything," he smiled.

"Yeah..." I looked down at my hand, it was grey, just like everything else.

"Hey James, are you able to see the world in color?" I ask, putting my hand back down.

He froze, his tablet nearly slipping from his grip. I quickly rush over and catch it before it falls.

"well um...." he rubs the back of his neck nervously, "I can..." he blushes.

"Really? When were you able to?"

"I dunno, years ago. When did you?"

"oh um.... A few deca-phoebs ago. When Lotor rescued me.. However," I could feel tears beginning to form I wiped my eyes and continued, "it went away a while ago.."

James looked at me with concern, he wrapped his arms around me to comfort me. I sniffled and wiped my eyes on his shirt.

"this may not be the best time but.... I started seeing color around the time we met.."

I looked up at him, confused.

"All I remember was I saw you walking by, that pink bow in your hair. At first I didn't even realize... Fast forward a few years later when you stopped being my friend, I still saw color, even when everyone though you were dead. I knew you weren't due to the fact I was still seeing color.." he blushed and buried his head in my neck.

"James... I had no idea.." I put a hand on his head, his hair was soft as I began to pet it.

"No, it's fine Acacia. I'm just so glad you're alive and we've had a chance to rekindle our friendship." he says as he pulls away, with me still in his arms. I smile.

"Yeah, I still feel so bad about how I ended the friendship..." I could feel my ears droop. "I'm truly sorry, I've just been bad at controlling my emotions or anything related to them. Heck, I barely understand them. Like, I get this weird feeling in my gut whenever you hug me and-" I cut off as I noticed something in my vision. I could clearly see the neon yellow star and faded rainbow band of my bracelet. I look up to James's face and touch it. His eyes were a purplish grey color. I never noticed.

"James!"

"Yeah Acacia? You don't need to yell I'm right here." he laughed as he raised an eyebrow.

"Your eyes are purple!" I say gasping.

He gasps as well, before grinning.

"You can see color? What does that mean?"

"I have no clue but it's amazing." I hug him tightly before putting my hands on his cheeks and pressing my lips on his.

I feel him tense up in shock before relaxing. His lips taste kinda fruity, like the toothpaste he's been using for as long as I could remember. I pull away and blush.

"Oh my quiznak... I'm so sorry." I hide my face with my hands, but my glowing marks give away my emotions. He removes my hands gently and holds them in his.

"You don't need to apologize." he's blushing as well.

"I don't?"

"No, I'm just so happy you're finally able to see color once again.."

"I'm still curious as to why. Lotor's... Dead.... As far as I know..." I say, trying to think of why this is happening.

James puts my hands down and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ears.

"Maybe, it's because you have a different soulmate. It happens sometimes. A person may find that special someone and see color again, but the other person may unfortunately die... And it leaves the other heartbroken, and unable to see color. They go on with life and meet someone new and one day color returns..." he moves his hand to my face, and puts his thumb over my marks. I blush.

"what I'm trying to say is..."

"That maybe, Lotor was only gonna be the one I loved temporarily and that maybe you're the one?" I finish his sentence.

He nods.

"yeah..."

He rubs my marks for a second, and then removes his hands.

I pick his hand up and place my hand on his wrist. I concentrate and soon, pale green marks show up. He looks at his wrist in amazement as the marks form into an intricate design.

"This is an Altean tradition.. We give our significant other special marks on their wrist." I hold my wrist up to show the red ones, which were from Lotor. Usually the marks would fade if the person wanted them gone, however, I still wanted them. Just as a sort of reminder of the man I loved once. Next to the red, green ones, like James's, appeared.

"whoa.. That's so cool!" his eyes lit up in excitement. I put my arm down, laughing.

He held up his wrist to examine the marks.

"what are we supposed to tell everyone?"

"I dunno." I shrugged.

"hmm... Maybe I can say you gave me a sweet tattoo?" he gave me a sly smile. I laughed.

"sure."

Keith is the child of a being of fire and a human. He was raised by a florist who lived near the sea since he was two. He has never learned who, or more specifically “what” his mother was, but his father was human. That’s the extent of his knowledge of his parents. He wants to know more, but at this point, it didn’t really matter to him. The florist, Shiro, was enough family for him. He has a pet dragon that's covered in flowers that represent his emotions.

Lance is a selkie who was secretly afraid of being in love. He was injured when he was young and became friends with the boy who wore so much yellow that saved him and a dryad who lance still didn't know the gender of. It's because of them that he stays close to shore.

Neither of them ever interacted until the day Shiro got injured.

And neither of them could ever have predicted how far they would fall for someone who seemed like their exact opposite.

they say that every girl should find a boy that loved her more than she loved him , but acacia was sure that she didn't deserve this boy . she doesn't how or why she got so lucky , but holt was too good of a man . the type fairytales were made of . " i'm sorry , " she started while in his embrace . her voice cracking , holding him tightly for the first time in a while . everyday , she was further convinced of how great he was . and yet , she was so quick to leave him for no fault of his own . that makes her terrible , right ? for her to weaponize the love he had for her . " i'm so sorry . "

the doorbell in the middle of the night had certainly been unexpected, and even more so when he saw acacia standing there. squinting the front porch light he leaned through the door frame. "wha...?" he paused, still not fully awake yet. he never took her key, she was always welcomed to come home. but even with her standing there, asking that, it didn't feel real. "acacia..." his voice almost pleaded, unable to stop himself as he stepped toward her, arms wrapped around her. "yes...this is always your home."

“ when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start now. and my love, i want mine to start now. “ - holt to acacia

while for everyone else their age the thought of getting married seemed like a distant dream . acacia and holt talked about it pretty early on in their relationship . by the time they started college , they knew that they would get married to each other one day . completely locked in on one another . while they were figuring everything else in their lives . they were sure about that . sure about making their lives work for each other , willing do to anything for that sole goal . college was simply a stepping stone towards starting a family for them . they were both going to go regardless . however , graduating was initially only acacia’s plan . but after some convincing from both his mother and acacia , it became holt’s backup plan incase he didn’t get drafted into the nfl . though , in her heart , she knew he was going within the first round . 

over the past few days , they both became alumni of their respective universities . hence the large graduation party that mrs. lawrence threw for them in holt’s family home . well , his house since he still lived there . the two of them wanted to wait until after the draft to officially move in together — wherever that may be . the party was an afternoon filled with with the two of them thanking and talking to those who came out to celebrate them . sure , acacia noticed there were a lot more people than their typical get togethers , however , she assumed it had to do with college being such a milestone rather than anything . little did she know the space would soon be turning into a post engagement party .

they had just cut their cake . taking all the necessary photos and finishing their rounds . the sun was starting to set and she just wanted to be with her man . to spend the rest of the night by his side . so as they normally did , the duo snuck off to their favorite spot near the lawrence residency . all it took was a short stroll towards the lake for holt and acacia to find a softly lit gazebo . well , it was probably a few minutes , but it felt like no time had pasted . simply getting lost in conversations . it was the same gazebo that they’ve spent countless hours in over the past six or so years . their initials etched into its walls so many years ago . 

acacia was looking around the very familiar place before he pulled her close to him . his arms around her waist while hers rested on his shoulders . a silly smile approached her features . eyes narrowing as he seemed to be staring at her . “ why are you look at me like that ? “ she asked , laughing softly as the two of them stood in the middle of the space . his hand moved to hold hers as he spoke . his words didn’t surprise her . he was always this sweet with her . however , his following actions did . 

despite the fact , they had planned for this to happened . acacia teasing him about when he’d do it only days ago . though , she’s been doing that for a while now . still , it took her by surprise watching him get on bended knee . her heart instantly starting to race . a mixture of feeling incredibly happy and nervous . only seconds until tears started forming in her eyes . her hand swatting at him . “ no . no , no way ! what are you doing ? “ she said in disbelief . her eyes focusing on his as the man presented her with the ring . “ no , “ she whispered . of course , that wasn’t her answer . he hadn’t even asked yet . but nothing like those four words had her crying like this . she cupped his face , instantly leaning to kiss him . head nodding as she did so , “ yes . yes . always yes . “ she mumbled against his lips .

“ you’re my best friend and you’re always going to be my best friend. ” - h&a

the recently separated duo ran into each other quite regularly despite acacia’s best efforts to dodge the man . but thinking about it , how couldn’t that happen when they’ve been glued to each other since fifteen . . . sixteen ? they couldn’t just forget about the bond they’ve built . the rapport they had with one another . nearly eight years later , their lives were so intertwined that it was impossible for them not to . they had the same friends . hung out at the same spots . and this was exactly why acacia ended their relationship . . . their engagement . she wanted them to figure out who they were without the other before continuing their high school pact on getting married . they didn’t officially call off the wedding . giving themselves some time before letting too many people in on that . of course , their families and their closest friends knew of their separation . and that it wasn’t exactly permanent yet , but acacia was getting cold feet . which would only get worse if they didn’t take this unexpected break from them as a couple . she stilled loved him . just couldn’t do them right now . 

acacia spent most of the nights they were in the same vicinity dodging the love of her life . avoiding him so that she didn’t have the face the man she broke . however , the more she drank and the later it got . the more the duo stopped caring about their current status . she always found herself falling back into their oldest habit — finding somewhere they could just sit and talk alone . something that started at the gazebo near him house . liquor always making their conversations easier now . “ holt . . . “ she said softly . almost in a way to tell him to stop . that she didn’t want to get into their sappy talk when they’ve been doing fine thus far . “ i know , but i can’t exactly be that for you right now . “ she admitted . going down that rabbit hole she seemed like she was running from . “ i do miss talking to you everyday . . . your stories about practice . “ || @gcldcnhour

+ acacia hands holt a positive pregnancy test

standing at their kitchen sink with a towel over his shoulder, holt was finishing up their dishes from the evening. it was a weird thing he enjoyed, doing the dishes after a home-cooked meal. made him feel accomplished, and helpful, and well there was something nice about keeping his hands under the running hot water, a sort of comfort. he whistled, quite badly, to the music that filed softly from his phone on the counter next to him. 

and that’s when he felt the soft embrace of acacia from behind him, having been too distracted in his task to notice her re-enter the kitchen. “you gonna finish doing the dishes like this? i’ll be your eyes you be my hands.” he laughed, turning off the sink and wiping his hands over the towel before turning in her arms to face her. immediately they settled on her cheeks, bringing her in for a soft and slow kiss. even after all this time, holt still never got over that she was his. 

“here.” she replied softly, detaching herself just a bit to slide what felt like a marker in his hand. brows furrowed in confusion he looked down at it, “babe wha-” but he stopped. in his hands was a pregnancy test. and not just any pregnancy test, a positive one. they’d been trying for so long, a dream that seemed to be diminishing over time. but here was proof. that it was possible. 

he couldn’t even speak, but instead scooped acacia up in his arms, twirling her around the kitchen as he mumbled with glee. “omigod babe. omigod.” they were going to be parents. they were going to have the family they had been dreaming of. “is this real? am i dreaming? god, i just...” he set her down, tears brimming his eyes as he pulled in her close for a deep kiss. “i love you so much acacia.” @driptape

🎁 spend Christmas together - holt & acacia

this wasn’t exactly their first christmas together , however , it was the first time they spent it away from home . it was also the first one during their engagement and during his rookie nfl season . which meant the duo needed to find new traditions of their own or somehow incorporate the ones they grew up with . but the lack of family around made that last one a little tricky . it was safe to assume that they weren’t feeling the most festive . tired from their respective work lives and sadly even their challenged relationship . they decided to to wander around the streets of nola . checking out the light displays in the iconic city before heading home . “ here , babe . “ she said softly while handing him a sugar cookie drink she found off tiktok . acacia liked it , but she wasn’t entirely sure holt would given it was pretty sweet . “ if it doesn’t taste good ? don’t blame me . . . i followed a recipe , “ she teased and settled onto the couch . the two changing into matching pjs as they planned to spend the rest of the night watching their favorite holiday movies while cuddled up and getting drunk . she doubted they’d get through a movie before getting distracted , but it was fun to have a night to forget about their stresses .
