I don't think I'm gonna be able to get out the holiday special fic i considered writing, so instead I'm just going to share a series of sweet ideas/prompts i've been thinking about in the Streamman saga

Every year Fang invites Gordon and Joshua to celebrate one of the nights of Hanukkah with him, but it is winter in the year 2020, and the poor guy is having cold symptoms. He hasn't tested positive for anything but doesn't feel safe having company over, so he puts the tradition on hold... until Bubby and Coomer invite the non-AIs to hold the festivities at their home in-game.

The mail distributor for Gordon's apartment complex is confused when packages start showing up addressed to people whose names they don't recognize, and who definitely don't live in that two-bedroom with the guy and his son. But Gordon accepts the packages with starry eyes, wrapping them and putting them under the tree without checking the contents. And inside his computer, the Science Team continue to divide up their twitch stream income to see if they have any more holiday gifts to order for their friend on the Outside.

Benrey commissioned a plush artist on Etsy to make this fucker as Gordon's Christmas present and Gordon has to decide how to feel

Everyone except Gordon (VR, baby) gets absolutely hammered at Tommy's New Years party and realize all too late that having Darnold in charge of drinks makes for weird hangovers. Can anyone try and get Tommy off the ceiling? Not Bubby, I think he and Sunkist got body swapped or something. No it's okay Sunkist is over 21 in dog years
