"Sorry, I'm kind of new to this," he says a little sheepishly, and Eddie is momentarily distracted by how cute that smile is.

"What kind of cat do you have?"

The firefighter frowns. "It's kind of orange-y?"

"Well, that's a very rare breed," Eddie teases, quirking an eyebrow. "You should take very good care of him."

OR: A firefighter with commitment issues finds a cat and meets a veterinary student with the most adorable son - and all that happens around Christmastime

I Want Your Midnights by MistressHeroine

He threw her a smirk that slowly turned into a smile as her eyes widened in a silent plea for rescue. Holding up the pack of cigarettes, he inclined his head towards the balcony door and mouthed for her to meet him outside before he pushed his way a little more eagerly towards the door. Just as he slid the door open and stepped out into the chill December air, he watched Beth’s reflection as she excused herself. He felt the anticipation crackle through his blood as he placed a cigarette to his lips and lit it, inhaling deeply and feeling the buzz of the nicotine hit at the same time as he heard the door slide open again behind him. He turned and reached to close the door behind Beth as she stepped out onto the balcony to join him with two glasses of champagne in her hands.

A little later than I intended but her's my contribution to @ultimatebethylficlist New Year's Eve prompt 'Glitter'. It's also my first try at writing smut and I'm actually really proud of how this one turned out! Happy belated New Year everyone ❤️✨

the softer it falls buck/eddie | rated T | 13,900 words | complete

the cutest cover ever is by @dickley-buddie for the @911holidayficfest !!! 

The sun is pink in the horizon, just starting its descent and emitting a light glow across the smooth expanse of snow. Everything is lit up pink and purple and orange, and when he glances over at Eddie, Eddie’s green coat is reflecting the light, illuminating his face and making him look like a dream. Buck has to glance away and ignores the skipping of his heart.

Eddie is silent next to him. All Buck can hear are their skis against the snow, their poles pinging with every push forward. And when he glances at Eddie again, it’s to find Eddie already looking at him with a soft smile. 

“What?” He asks, frowning and examining his own shadow to see if something is off.

Eddie just shakes his head. “Nothing,” he replies quietly. “I just . . .” Eddie trails off and looks back into the distance, and Buck so badly wants him to finish his sentence.  -- Or, Buck inherits a house in a small ski town, reunites with his sister, saves a restaurant, falls in love, and finds a family, but not necessarily in that order.

Did somebody say detective AU?

I made these for @woseary fic 'A debt in Blood' for au fest that you should really, REALLY read - it's a detective/murder mystery AU with horseheadfarms and convex, I have been running up walls since I even hear the summary and it's so gooood!!

I made a big colorful piece for this really really cool scene in chapter 8, but that's spoilers, so unfortunately you gotta wait <3

Small Miracles for BHF23: Silent Night

Beth Greene is not dead. Though it is not for a lack of trying. After eight long years spent in the CRM's grasp, struggling to find reasons to continue surviving, Beth finally finds her reason: Rick and Daryl are alive, and they are closer than she ever could've guessed. Now she must take advantage of her only opportunity to escape and track them down. Along the way, she revisits all of the places that changed her into who she has become. And she is forced to remember who she truly is at heart despite how unrecognizable she finds herself. But she has an unexpected ally along for the journey. Just the same as her, he is somewhat of a living miracle. Except he's no longer living… he's a walker.

So here it is... Thank you to @1ddaddybrattyfest for this superb festival! I'm a bit shy about writing in the midst of some extremely talented people!

And, maybe I got lost in the middle, but I went where my Louis and my Harry took me...

I need to thank the wonderful @red-pandaaa . As always, who took the time to proofread me, correct me and make me think. This panda is fantastic! And they write, and make podfics. And ... a million Thanks Panda.

And thanks to @larrysballetslippers , for organising the fic fest!

And a last thanks to @1d-library full of Amazing people who help me everyday !

Here a little snip!

"So... Harry? Huh?" he asked with a smirk.

"I don't know what you mean," Louis retorted, curtly.

"Oh, come on, Loulou, if Liam can claim to have known you longer, I'm the one who reads you like an open book..." Zayn replied, still smiling.

"I don't know what you mean. Yes Harry? What Harry?" Louis asked, sharply.

"You like him..."

"I don't stand a chance," Louis said instead of denying, and it was too late to pull his words back by the time he realised.

"And may I ask why?" Zayn retorted, sharp, as if he himself had been insulted.

At this level, it's not even worth denying anymore so Louis just... relented.

"Did you look at him, Z? He... He could have anyone he wants, I don't even know if he's gay... But it's... He's got everything going for him... And me... I'm just boring and... Not interesting..."

"And where did that come from? Fucking Louis, since when!" Zayn whisper-shouted.

"Shut the fuck up. It's just the way it is. That's all it is. And I'm fine. I'm fine. And I don't feel like talking about it."

"Louis you can't... you've got no fucking right to think that! And not just about you!" Zayn insisted.

"Shhhht! Keep your fucking voice down!" Louis huffed, making a check in the mirror.

"You're very, very perfect just the way you are! We love you just the way you are! You can't... I forbid you to believe otherwise!"

"I never said I believed otherwise Z! I said I wouldn’t be his type!"

"You don't get to change for a guy," Zayn declared.

"I never said I would either," Louis retorted just as curtly and Zayn nodded once, decisively.

"Fucking right. We wouldn't have you any other way! Pain in the ass."

Pairing: tarlos (TK Strand/Carlos Reyes)

Rating: teen (warnings for discussions of faith, religious trauma, homophobia, cancer recovery, addiction, fear of overdosing, withdrawal, needles, and a panic attack)

The TMS Stellison Holiday Fic-Fest Continues!

Christmas is coming fast, but we're not done with the Christmas prompts yet. If you want to participate (join us!), here are all the prompts. Here and there are our previous contributions, and here's what we've been writing since then:

—

“I think we might have made too many cookies.”

December 24th Stuck in New York for the holidays, Cory’s housekeeper gives him a homework assignment.

Christmas on the Executive Floor Cory made an unreasonable amount of cookies. Stella is grumpy. Kyle is overwhelmed. It’s beginning to feel a lot like UBA Christmas!

—

"That's… a lot of Christmas lights."

December 19th The UBN Christmas Party Decorating Committee went a bit overboard this year.

—

“Where’s all your holiday spirit, you Scrooge?”

Chapter 2 of Corporate Christmas Cory brought a date at Cybil’s Christmas Party and Stella’s in a foul mood. Not that the latter has anything to do with the former.

—

“You’re freezing!”

Chapter 3 of Corporate Christmas Back from the party, Stella ponders things. Cory things.

—

“That’s a lot of snow.”

Warm Like Snow One office, two people, a million snowflakes.

—

“Nice sweater.”

Who Would Wear It Better? Who’s ready for a Christmas sweaters battle?

December 20th No one likes small talk, especially at Christmas party, but UBN commits.

—

And as a bonus, not an entry for a prompt, but still a Holiday-themed story:

Winter It's been over a year since they last saw each other. Bradley and Cory are now in very different places in their lives, and their paths have converged again. Will things be different now?
