Stars The Same As Ever (Hallmark AU)

Ch. 1/? — This City Always Hangs A Little Bit Lonely On Me T+ | Sebastian/Farmer

It’s the first week of winter, and Sebastian is having a bad day. He wakes up at six, nearly an hour and a half before sunrise— too early, in his opinion, but his boss is a morning person, so their standup meeting is at eight (spirits, really, who’s awake at eight in the morning?)— and he spends thirty minutes hitting snooze on his alarm before he hauls himself out of bed. Brushes his teeth. Hops into his little five-square-foot excuse for a shower, which has absurdly low water pressure, and then tries not to freeze as he towels off, because baseboard heaters are useless against the cold, and the windows in his studio apartment are drafty. This apartment may suck, he reminds himself with chattering teeth, but it’s his.

I've decided to start posting the Hallmark AU I've been working on, because it's about 30 chapters long and I want it posted before the end of winter! Buckle up for some holiday sweetness, angst, mutual pining, and a sprinkling of mountain family dynamics.
