I wrote this story last year but didn't manage to finish it in time to post it before Christmas... I wanted to post it chapter after chapter this year but I was so busy I didn't find time to start posting earlier... So I'm doing it today! It's the birthday of a close friend of mine. She isn't on AFF but I thought it was an auspicious day to share this story at last.

It's a bit angsty I guess but with a happy ending (because sad endings are sad and it's Christmas time and aren't we all in need of comfort?)

I'm not giving it a rating because everything stays very soft (I think) but there is internalised homophobia and I've seen warning for this in the foreword of other stories. So if you think I should change the rating, please tell me! (and don't read if you think it'll make you feel uncomfortable, I don't want to cause pain to anyone) I might be overthinking this but as the saying goes, better safe than sorry!

Now, I hope you'll enjoy your reading!

With love,
