🎄🕯An Unhinged Yuletide Gathering🕯🎄

My darlings! 💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️

It's time for a festive unhinged gathering! Arrive in your loveliest ball gowns and with your thottiest thots and feel free to share away! The more, the merrier! I'm thrilled to have every single one of you here. This time, I invite you all to a lavish Scandinavian manor house.

We can watch the snow and the northern lights from the lovely art nouveau observatory of the highest tower. Throughout the evening, the roaring hearths, lush decorations, and golden glow of luxurious interiors will keep us very content. There will be decedant warm beverages aplenty, a scrumptious dinner, and spread after spread of desserts.

The company is, of course, also a mouthwatering collection of our exquisite fictional men.

Jonathan Pine is in a brand new and very smart three piece suit, welcoming you with an incandescent smile as he guides you in. He smells deliciously of expensive cologne and the single festive red rose pinned to his lapel. Before he takes his leave, he holds your hand in both of his and makes some very intense eye contact, saying, "and Miss, if there's anything at all I can do for you, please don't hesitate to find me."

You barely catch your breath as you move further past polished oak doors into the large glimmering ballroom where Loki is lounging on a velvet couch, some elaborate mixed drink balanced in his lovely ivory hand. He charms us all with tale after tale as our cheeks get warm and we take turns feeding him teasing little bites of cake.

Thomas Sharpe stands brooding in his finest tuxedo, desperately waiting for his chance at a waltz with you as you look so lovely this evening.

Eddie...delicous, sweet, snarky Eddie Munson snuck in with the caterers. His big chocolate button eyes scan the crowd of lovely ladies, and he gives a big dimpled grin. With no regard at all for the job he signed up for, he shrugs off the uniform top, smooths out the Iron Maiden shirt beneath it, and swaggers over.

"Welllllll, hello lovely ladies!", he declares as he plops on the couch next to Loki, even daring to cross his legs over the god's lap and steal a sip of his drink. Loki stares at this bushy-haired miscreant with a leathal glare that cracks delightfully into a big euphoric grin. One trickster obviously appreciates the charisma of another.

Adam keeps to himself, playing the most beautiful piece of music on an antique lute. He feels a rare flicker of joy as he anticipates candlelit ghost stories on Christmas night (a sweet revival of a Victorian tradition). The faintest twitch of a smile moves his lips as he thinks of all this...delcious...company he'll have the pleasure of experiencing it with.

Hux sits alone, reading in a quiet parlor. The general's lovely hands stroke his beloved ginger cat, Millicent, as he plays out chess games within his powerful mind. His lovely green eyes flick towards you as he hears your footsteps, and he smiles wickedly. You're the only distraction he allows here, afterall...and what an enjoyable one you are.

Thank you for joining the party, my loves. Who else do you see? What does the evening have in store for us? Have you brought something interesting? Oh, do tell. *wink*

Welcome and happy holidays! 💃 🎄

Carriage Ride

Series: Open Heart (Alternate Universe)

Pairing: Ethan Ramsey x F!MC (Claire Evans)

Rating: General

Word Count: 1514 words

Summary: After a little incident, Claire and Prince Ethan take a ride in a carriage. A rewrite of a scene from the Hallmark film, One Royal Holiday.

A/N: This fic is for both the @choicesprompts Holiday Rewrite Challenge and for @choicesficwriterscreations CFWC Holidays 2023.

Claire and her father were outside of the family inn along with the head chef/Claire’s father’s best friend (who each other are very much interested in) packing up a bunch of presents on sleighs while waiting for the Queen and Crowned Prince Ethan of Gallwick as their bodyguard Tobias was nowhere in sight. As they were finishing up, the Queen and Ethan came out and were ready to head to the Kentsbury Christmas Parade. 

“Oh, I see Santa came early.” The queen said.

“Well, kind of. Everyone who comes to the parade donates a toy for Santa’s sleigh.”

Once they’re all done packing up all the presents, Claire looks at Ethan and realizes he is wearing a gray suit, black dress shoes, and a long black coat.

“Oh, you can’t walk in the snow in those shoes.”

“I’ll be fine. They’re waterproof.” Ethan says as he puts his weight onto the heels of his feet.

“Well, if you slip and fall, be sure to do it after we leave the property.”

“I’ll do my best.”

“Good”

They start to leave the inn when Claire grabs one of the sleds and her father tries to grab the other when Ethan steps in.

“Mr. Evans, allow me.”

“Oh, thank you, Ethan.”

The Queen, Claire’s father and his friend were already heading towards the parade when Claire giggled at Ethan as he took the sleigh. 

“Hey where’s Tobias?”

“He’s close. He likes to keep a low profile.”

Not too far up the road, Tobias pops out of the snow looking towards Ethan and Claire.

“Wow. That’s not creepy at all.” Claire says, which makes Ethan stifle a laugh as they start walking towards the parade.

The queen, Claire’s father, his friend, and Tobias stay ahead while Claire and Ethan trail a few feet behind them with the sleighs as everyone says hi to Claire, who waves back at them.

“Everyone here seems to know you.”

“Yeah, this town is like one big family. It must be strange to walk down the street and have no one know who you are.”

Ethan tilts his head slightly. “I rather like it.” 

Claire is then greeted by an old family friend who immediately thought that Ethan was a “special guest” that Claire brought home for the holidays. The family friend then goes to hug Ethan who then just stiffens in place as Claire corrects her, in which the family friend apologizes as Claire and Ethan make their way to the parade.

As the Queen, Claire’s father, his friend, and Tobias get to their seats, they run into Mayor Adelaide Barnes. Tobias then introduces the Queen to Adelaide.

“It is so nice to meet you. Wow, you are more regal uo close.” Adelaide says while shaking the queen's hand.

“What a lovely compliment. And congratulations on your success. The more women we have in charge the better.”

The queen walks off as Claire rushes over towards Adelaide, who looks lovingly towards Tobias. Claire then slowly pulls Adelaide away to talk privately.

“Adelaide, be careful.”

“With what?”

“You know what. They’re leaving soon. It can’t possibly work.”

“People also said I can’t possibly become mayor. I’ll take my chances.” Adelaide says while taking glances over at Tobias before the two of them walk back over.

Ethan then pipes up. “Claire. What should we do with the gifts?”

“Well, Santa goes last in the parade, so there’s just enough time for us to load these gifts onto his sleigh, which is down by the church.”

“All right.”

“We can go do that and then come back.”

“Sure.”

The two of them make their way down to Santa’s sleigh in which Claire sees the person playing Santa getting ready. She gasps which makes Ethan scoff.

“What, you don’t get excited when you see Santa Claus?”

“When I was growing up and Santa came to the palace, we didn’t ask for gifts. It would be untoward for a family that had so much.”

“Wow. You don’t have to ask for things.”

“Well I know that now. But Santa doesn’t come to the palace anymore.”

“Well, then, this will be perfect.”

The two of them then quickly load up the gifts into the sleigh before heading back over to their seats to watch the parade. They watched as many trucks and carriages came by, including the one in which Mayor Adelaide was in, waving to the crowd. Once the parade was over, the carriage that Adelaide was in came over to the group and Tobias helped her out of it.

“You were great out there. Extra points for the wave.” Tobias said.

“Why thank you.” Adelaide then turned towards the queen. “I don’t know how you do it. My arm is so tired.”

“You’ll get used to it.”

The queen, Claire’s father, and his friend all started to walk towards the inn. Adelaide and Tobias started to walk together and Ethan went to follow when he stepped into a big puddle of water and snow.

“Sir?” Tobias said.

“I’m fine.” Ethan said with a huff. Adelaide and Tobias continue walking as Claire laughs and walks towards Ethan. “Well.”

“Well what?”

“I’m waiting for you to tell me I was right in your poor choice of winter footwear.”

Ethan huffs again. “Fine. You were right.”

“I know.” Claire turns and looks at the coachman of the carriage. “Hey, Stan, you think you could give my friend a lift back to the inn?”

“Absolutely.” Stan says.

“I’m fine to walk.”

“And I’m sure you’ll get frostbite.” She then points to the carriage. “Get in. Nurse’s orders. Come on, you have no choice. You’re in my domain now.”

Ethan looks at Claire, “Well, a carriage is my domain, and it would be incredibly awkward to ride alone, so…” he then lifts Claire into the carriage, “... in you go.” The two of them just stare at each other lovingly for a second before snapping out of it and sitting down on the carriage before it pulls away towards the inn.

Claire shivers and then grabs a blanket and begins to put them over Ethan’s feet. “”Whew. Here. Put your feet under this so they don’t become footsicles.”

“You never stop, do you?”

“Stop what?”

“Looking for ways to help people.”

“Sometimes it’s just easier to focus on other people’s needs.” Claire says with a sigh as she looks away from Ethan.

“You just described the life of a royal. Except the easy part.”

Claire then looks at Ethan as he looks away from her. “Must be a lot of pressure taking over for your father.

Ethan then looks towards Claire. “He was a great man. He did so much to bring Galwick together. The people loved him.”

“I’m sure they’ll come to love you too.”

“Not if I give another address like last year.”

“Come on. It couldn’t have been that bad.”

“I allowed my staff to post my speech on the internet.”

“Okay.”

“And then I read the comments.”

Claire winced. “Oh. No. You can’t do that. Never read the comments.” 

“Well, I know that now.”

Claire giggles. “So, this speech is your… second chance.”

“That’s why I have to get it right.”

Claire looks at Ethan. “Can I be honest with you?”

Ethan looks at Claire and nods, “Mmm-hmm.”

“If you want to connect with your people, show them more of this side of you.” Ethan Faces forward and Claire leans her face closer to him. “As it turns out, you’re not half bad.”

“Ah, the insult disguised as a compliment.” He turns towards Claire. “It’s a very advanced technique.”

Claire laughs. “You know what I mean.”

The two of them then face forward as they reach a couple taking pictures, which makes Ethan turn away from them. 

“Oh no. Don’t worry. They’re not taking pictures of us, just the carriage. It’s very quintessential New England.”

Ethan turns back around. “Yes but, convincing the people of Galwick I care about them is going to be a hard sell if they see me frolicking about in Connecticut.” 

“I doubt anyone could accuse you of frolicking.” 

At this point they catch up to where Adelaide and Tobias are walking and are about to pass them. Adelaide and Tobias then turn to watch as Claire and Ethan pass in the carriage.

“Really? You hired transportation? It’s not that long of a walk, guys.” Adelaide said.

“I had a footwear malfunction.”

“I see.” Tobias said.

“I could have gotten frostbite.”

After they had passed, Ethan turned back around. “Oh god. Tobias is never going to let me live this down.”

“No, I’m sure he won’t say anything else. I mean you are his boss.”

“I’m also his best friend from boarding school.”

“Really?” 

“Yeah.”

The carriage comes to a stop in front of the inn. Ethan hops out and helps Claire get off of the carriage before thanking Stan for the ride, who then quickly pulls the carriage away. The two of them slowly pull their hands away from each other and glance at each other before heading into the inn.
