Gingerbread (Ficmas #1)
Here we go!!! Ficmas day one! Super excited about this - I’ve never done ficmas before! As promised... a little sweet competition!
Characters and their world by @lumosinlove “Is everyone ready?” Celeste asked, standing around her kitchen, looking at the room nearly overflowing with hockey players and their loved ones. “Leo and I are the judges. The rules are simple, you all have to build a gingerbread house, everything you need is right in front of you. The best looking one wins, okay?”
Remus grinned and nodded, nudging Sirius excitedly. They had everything - including the gingerbread premade by Celeste herself, so even if it looked like a disaster it was sure to taste amazing. Not that theirs would look anything less than fantastic.
On second thought, maybe a group of highly competitive athletes working against each other instead of with each other was a bad idea.
“Okay guys!” Leo called as he hopped up to sit on the counter and oversee the proceedings. “You have one hour. Your time starts.... Now!”
Remus grinned at Sirius, and then they set to work.
Logan knew watching Leo be all authoritative as a judge while he just had to watch would be hard. He didn’t know it would be torture. He was teamed with Adele and Katie, but Adele had to keep hitting his arm to get his attention.
“Logan,” She warned. “I want to win. Now are you gonna focus or not?”
Logan shook his head. Leo could wait. He had a competition to win. “Oui, sorry yes I’m good now.”
Adele nodded, apparently satisfied and Katie drew their attention back to her when she started bouncing in her seat.
“Allez!” She said, her eyes wide, “Tremzy come on I wanna get to the part where I can eat it.”
Logan chuckled but obliged her, obediently holding pieces of gingerbread in place at the girls’ command as the icing dried.
“Okay, no pressure or anything, but your name’s Noelle so I’m expecting you to dominate this Christmas thing.” Thomas said, only partially jokingly as Noelle carefully piped the outline of their ‘windows’.
“Um, excuse you Thomas Walker,” She replied, “What does it look like I’m doing?”
“Okay, but hear me out,” Thomas started as he picked up a piece of gingerbread, and started piping green spikes on it. “We should have pine trees in front of it.”
Noelle looked at him like he was losing his mind. “Babe, it’s a gingerbread house.” She said slowly as if it were a foreign concept.
“I know!” Thomas said, excitedly waving his hands and as he did, his pine tree went flying through the air and landed in Kasey’s hair.
Kasey turned around very slowly and looked around menacingly, reaching up and pulling the biscuit out of his hair, leaving green splotches and crumbs in its wake.
“Who?” He ground out, and Thomas looked around with a shocked expression. “I have no idea! Noelle? Did you see anything?”
Noelle bit down her laugh and shook her head. “Non. Maybe it was one of the kids?” She said, looking over at Logan’s table to where Katie had more icing on her than the house. Kasey followed her and his vision softened. He nodded once and turned back around, Thomas made another tree and held it up to Noelle.
“They’ll never see it coming.” He said, finally finishing his statement. Noelle rolled her eyes, but in the end, there were a ton of palm trees in their ‘garden’.
Finn was with Pascal and Marc, all of them particularly competitive and set on winning except there was one little problem… None of them had ever actually made a gingerbread house before.
“I think it goes like this?” Marc said, tilting his head as he stuck two pieces together, the icing going everywhere. He let go and they all held their breath while the biscuits stood for about ten seconds before collapsing so slowly it was actually a little sad.
“I say we give up and just eat everything.” Finn proposed. Marc nodded, Dumo looked like he was going to put up a fight, but one glance at their gingerbread wreckage had his shoulders slumping. He reached out and broke off a bit of biscuit, popping it into his mouth with a grin.
“At least it tastes good?”
“But we didn’t make-” Marc began.
“Shh.” Finn cut him off with a playful wink. “At least it tastes good.”
Kasey’s hair was green and that had been a problem but then Alex promised he’d wash it out himself later that night and well, those words along with the little wink Natalie sent him had Kasey pretty okay with the whole situation. He sat there, smiling softly as he listened to Alex and Natalie chat away while Kasey did all the actual work, creating quite a nice gingerbread house, thank you very much.
Kasey grew up with his dad baking every Sunday and he’d always help. He wasn’t ashamed to say he was quite handy with a piping bag, and Alex was watching with wide eyes as Kasey piped ‘snow’ on the roof.
“How-” Alex stuttered, his eyes focused on Kasey’s hand.
Natalie bit down her smile. “He likes to keep people guessing.”
“I… I’m not complaining.”
“Like what you see O’Hara?” Kasey asked, unable to stop himself from teasing the other man. Alex was as prone to flushing a deep red as his brother, but Kasey found Alex looked a lot boyish when it happened to him.
“I definitely like what I’m seeing.” Alex replied, before cheekily dipping his finger in the icing and smirking at Kasey as he ate it.
Natalie laughed at them both as she leaned in and kissed the sugar dusting Alex’s lips. Kasey raised an eyebrow, but kept looking at what he was doing, until Alex was standing next to him.
“Open up.” Alex prompted, holding his icing coated finger up to Kasey’s lips. Kasey made eye contact with Natalie for a split second, before doing as instructed, smiling into the kiss Alex gave him after.
“Chocolate was always my favourite.” Alex said with a sigh as he sat back down, Natalie placing her feet in his lap as she shamelessly ate the sweets they needed to decorate. Kasey glanced up to see Leo already looking at him.
“Redheads.” Leo mouthed with a shrug, “Gotta love em.”
Leo had to admit, sitting back and watching the world devolve into chaos was quite entertaining. He could still taste the gingerbread Finn had given him, their house looking more like it had been hit by a hurricane instead of like someone had actually tried to, you know, build it. Logan’s little team was doing a whole lot better, it was looking a little messy but Katie was doing a lot of the icing and well, there’s only so neat kids can be, try as they might.
Leo’s heart melted as it always did when he would watch Logan with Dumo’s kids. He was just so good with them and they adored him in turn. One of the spare bedrooms in their apartment had been the designated spot for where they would keep presents until they were able to give them out, and Leo was fairly sure half of the room’s contents were just Logan’s presents for the little Dumais’.
“Are rookies even allowed to be judges?” Thomas queried as Leo passed and Leo had fun getting to act all haughty. Thomas looked particularly suspicious and Leo didn’t miss the correlation between the green icing he sported and the little patch of colour in Kasey’s hair. Leo filed that little bit of information away for a day he could really use it.
“Do you think it’s a good idea to get on a judge's bad side, Talkie?”
“Hey, you love me!” Thomas protested and Noelle shook her head.
“No, but he loves me.” She said looking at Leo and winking. “You’ve got to stay on the good side of your future in-laws.”
Leo felt himself flush even as Logan twisted in his seat to look at them. “Tricheuse!” Logan cried. “Leo baby don’t listen to her, she just wants to win.” He stuck out his tongue at Noelle.
Leo abandoned Noelle and Thomas to crouch next to Logan, smirking. “Am I not marriage material Tremblay?”
Another time, earlier in their relationship maybe, Logan would have scrambled to reassure Leo, probably tripping over his own words so many times nothing actually coherent came out. Now though, Logan just smiled at him lazily.
“The most. I just mean she loves you either way, I think there’s literally nothing you could do that would make her not like you.”
Leo kissed him on the cheek before laughing as Katie wrapped her arms around him.
“Salut Katie!” He said, standing up to throw her in the air, Katie shrieking with laughter before Leo set her back down on her chair. Leo stood up and began to move away, but not before he missed Katie unintentionally chirping Logan, “Leo throws me high.” She said in a serious tone as Leo snorted his laughter, shaking his head as he moved away.
Regulus hadn’t been sure about building a gingerbread house with Nado and Kuny - he didn't really know them and as a general rule, he didn’t like to spend too much time with people he didn’t know. But Dima got on with them really well and Dima was his friend so here Regulus was, building a gingerbread house in Pascal Dumais’ house. Two snakes in a lion's den.
“Are you sure that will hold?” Regulus found himself asking sceptically as Kuny attempted to build a several story building. Gingerbread house - more like gingerbread mansion if Kuny had his way.
Nado answered instead just nodding his head. “Of course.”
“Fair enough.” Regulus conceded, happy to sit back and watch the proceedings. He glanced around the room, still not quite sure where he fit into this chaotic little familial like team, but happy to be here all the same. More than happy to see nothing but pure joy on his brother’s face. Hope because maybe Regulus could find that kind of happiness here too.
“D’accord!” Celeste called, clapping her hands. “Okay everyone step away from your tables, your time is up!”
The team piled into the sitting room as Celeste and Leo judged all the gingerbread houses. Sirius and James sat on the floor, with Harry playing happily with them. Remus and Lily sat snugly on the couch above them, both nursing mugs of tea and heads bent together as they caught each other up on the events of the last couple of weeks.
Finn and Logan were having an arm wrestling competition in the corner and most of the others piled around to watch them, all yelling for someone. Logan won, Finn hanging his head in shame and then they were both immediately challenged by the rest of the team, Logan battling (and losing quite dramatically) to Katie.
Leo and Celeste came back into the room, looking quite smug as they held up a cardboard trophy.
“We have the winner,” Leo said to get everyone’s attention and the sudden hush that fell upon the room was quite comical.
“Drumroll!” Thomas cried and the room was filled with the rapid thuds of everyone slapping their hands against the nearest object.
“And the winner is…” Celeste drew out, “Katie, Adele and Logan!”
The trio jumped up, hugging and high fiving.
Logan stood up on a chair and pressed his hands against his chest in gratitude.
“Thank you, thank you,” He joked, wiping away a fake tear. “We’ve been dreaming about this for, mon dieu, I don’t know how long.”
“You weren’t this dramatic when you won MVP!” Sirius called from the back of the room and Logan winked at him before continuing. “I think Adele had the idea that secured our win though, Adele?”
The girl dashed to the kitchen and came back with their little gingerbread house, the outside entirely lined by little gingerbread people.
“We made the team!” Katie said, bouncing on her toes. There was a rush as everyone came over to have a look and before long, everyone was grabbing their figurine and eating them.
“Goodbye little Thomas.” Talkie said mournfully before biting its head off.
“Hey, maybe now I can give myself head.” Leo muttered to Finn, who promptly choked, spitting crumbs everywhere as he flushed a deep red.
Remus leaned back into Sirius as they munched on their biscuits.
“This is fun. We should do it again next year.”
Sirius wiped the crumbs from his lip and tightened his hold on Remus’ waist. “And the year after that, and they year after that, and the ye-”
Remus giggled, twisting in Sirius’ arms to shut him up by kissing him. “Yeah, baby. I’d like that.”

Telling
Short O’darwin blurb
“Hey.” Finn, Leo, and Logan nodded as Kasey and Natalie walked into the messy apartment.
“Wow you would think three idiotic boys live here.” Natalie looked around.
“Two idiotic boys.” Leo corrected. “I’ve just given up trying to keep it clean at this point.”
“Gotcha.” She clicked her tongue as her and Kasey settled into a cuddle on the couch. The boys tangled together on the other side.
“What are we watching tonight?” Kasey asked. The couples had a movie night every few weeks but Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus couldn’t make it this week.
“We were thinking Spider-Man.” Finn said before shoving a handful of popcorn into his mouth.
“You’re going to choke, sweetheart.” Leo told him.
“No I won’t.” He mumbled through the popcorn.
“Whatever you say.” Leo rolled his eyes.
“Which Spider-Man?” Natalie asked, offering Kasey a chip.
“Far From Home.” Logan said. “Zendaya and Tom Holland in the same movie. Perfection.”
“Agreed.” Natalie tipped her finger at him.
“Hey can we talk before you start the movie?” Kasey finally shut off his phone and sat up.
“Yeah what’s up?” Finn asked.
“You know how me and Alex played on the Rangers together and how we’re, like, pretty good friends?”
“Oh so we’re doing this right now? Cool.” Natalie sat up beside him.
“Yeah, what about it?” Finn asked. They had never seen Kasey this nervous.
“Okay, yeah, so um-”
“Jesus Christ. We’re dating him.” Natalie announced after 30 seconds of Kasey stalling.
“Wait, like, dating?” Finn asked.
“Yeah.” Kasey nodded.
“How long?”
“A few months.”
“We’re happy for you.” Logan smiled as Finn tried to process everything.
“Is gayness fucking genetic or some shit?” He finally spoke. “Oh, yeah I’m really happy for you guys. But like, tell him he’s a dumbass for not telling me. You guys too.”

I never imagined I'd find a death threat romantic, but then Alexei had surprised me in so many ways.

Nice Nat (Ficmas #9)
Aight, welcome back my dudes! Okay so this is my first O’darwin (I think... wow I can’t even remember but I’m pretty sure it’s my first... anyways) so I hope it’s alright. This is not the direction I saw it going in, but someone mentioned something along the lines of this fic once and it stuck in my head since. I’ll definitely be doing more of them though so I’ll have some more... idk lively I suppose is the word? Yeah, lively content.
Credit for characters and their world to @lumosinlove
CW: This is centred around Natalie on her period. There’s nothing graphic, there’s not even details of symptoms other than tiredness but it is the central theme 💕
Natalie sighed, turning the key in the lock, her handbag slipping off her shoulder awkwardly as the door swung open.
“Hey guys,” She called to the empty hallway, kicking off her shoes. “I’m home.”
She wandered to the kitchen, tossing her bag on a chair and grabbed herself a painkiller and a glass of water. She had gotten her period unexpectedly at work and her day just hadn’t been great. Nothing had been wrong per se, but she was just tired and a little too world weary to deal with many people.
“Babe?” She called, wandering through the house. Both of their cars had been there and their shoes were still at the door, so where were they?
“Kase? Al? Anyone home?”
She found them in their home theatre, the walls were soundproofed so there was no wonder no one had heard her. She opened the door to see Alex straddling Kasey, the pair in a full on make out session teenagers would be proud of. Any other day, Natalie would probably have gone and joined in. Or at least have watched. Today though, she just wasn’t feeling it.
“Well would you look at what we have here.” She drawled, raising an eyebrow.
The two boys pulled apart, looking over at her immediately, red lipped and panting.
“Hey baby.” They both said at the same time, making Natalie smile. “Wanna come join?” Alex asked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Natalie rolled her eyes smiling, but shook her head. “Nah, I’m not really in the mood right now but you two go ahead. I’m gonna change my clothes and just watch a movie in bed maybe.”
Alex frowned, sliding off Kasey’s lap. Kasey’s face didn’t change, but Natalie could see the cogs turning in his mind. He held out his arms, “Want a hug?”
Natalie huffed a laugh even as she crossed the few steps between them, taking Alex’s spot on Kasey’s lap as she rested her head on his shoulder, Alex pulling her feet onto his thighs, stroking her calves soothingly.
“Sorry guys, I’m not trying to bring down your vibe.”
Alex looked at her like she was crazy. “What? Nat don’t be dumb, we’ve been waiting for you to come home, we just want to be with you.”
“Unless you want to be by yourself for a while.” Kasey added, kissing her hair. “That’s okay too.”
Natalie’s heart fluttered a little at how perfect they both were. “No, no I wanna be with you guys.” She said, burning her face in Kasey’s chest for a moment. He was wearing Alex’s shirt and she could breathe them both in.
“Okay I’m gonna go get changed.” She mumbled, pulling herself reluctantly away from their warmth, but desperately needing to get out of her constricting jeans and into sweatpants.
“Alright darling, we’ll see you in a minute.” Kasey murmured softly, letting her slip out of his arms and pad upstairs. Natalie smiled as she got changed, wearing Kasey’s pants and Alex’s hoodie, letting both her boys surround her. She heard them both coming up the stairs and hid her amusement at their attempt to be quiet. Try as they might, they were also two full grown hockey players and silence wasn’t always their strongest point. But they were trying and that was all that mattered.
“Hiya,” Alex greeted softly as he pushed the door open, peeking his head in. “You still good with us joining?”
Natalie chuckled a little. “Yeah, guys I love you and I love this, but I’m just tired, not a delicate little doll. Now get in here and cuddle me please.”
The pair came into the room, both armed with supplies. Natalie laughed when she saw many of the items came from the list she had given both of them respectively when they had started dating. She called it the ‘Nice Nat’ list and contained all the tips and tricks of what she liked on her period.
“You remembered.” She chuckled, mostly to Alex, Kasey was quite experienced with the whole situation.
“How could I forget?” Alex said, setting a mug of tea and a bar of chocolate on the night stand. “You marched up to me and instructed that once a month you were gonna need some TLC and if I couldn't deal with that then I shouldn’t bother being in this relationship in the first place.” He raised an eyebrow and met Natalie’s gaze. “That’s not something you forget very soon.”
Natalie giggled a little as Kasey slid onto the bed next to her, passing her a hot water bottle and Leaning back into the plush cushions.
“That does sound like me.”
Even so, Natalie was touched. She was actually pretty lucky in the sense that for the most part, her periods were pretty non eventful. Once every few months she felt a little more like she did today but on the whole she escaped a lot of the major pains. Plus, they hadn’t been dating Alex that long and with his training schedule, he wasn’t there a lot. His visits had only coincided with Natalie's periods once and it had been a good month so nothing had even been affected, this was his first time having to put his ‘Nice Nat’ knowledge into practice.
She curled into Kasey’s side, resting her head on his chest, glancing back at Alex once, who seemed unsure.
“C��mere sweetheart.” She beckoned, and she could see the tension leave him as he wrapped himself around her, his warm chest pressed against her back, wrapping an arm carefully around her middle. She caught his hand in hers, lifting it to her lips once before lowering it again. Leaving their fingers linked. Kasey covered them both with one of his own big hands and Natalie smiled, unable to stop herself from noticing how small her own hand looked sandwiched between theirs.
Kasey grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, scrolling until he found ‘Friends’ and flicked on a random episode in early season three.
“When Ross and Rachel are together.” He mumbled for Alex’s benefit, carding his fingers through Natalie’s hair. “They’re the best episodes.”
Natalie sighed in contentment, relaxing into her boys. It was nice with them both, different but amazing. With Kasey there was that lovely familiar relationship dynamic. Not boring, god never boring, but there was the fantastic intimacy about knowing everything about your partner. It was different with Alex - there was still the new thrill of excitement and a little uncertainty but they were all quickly learning how to adjust to this little dynamic they found themselves in and Natalie loved every minute of it.

Okay so I got an ask to do a nalexey fic and I would loveeee to do that! But I know they were first thought of on discord and I’m a bit of a disaster I’m rarely on it so I don’t know much about their dynamic. I can totally improve if there’s not much to go on but if there’s anything you wanna see, pop in and let me know :))
