    Summary

    Both hobbits lay awake. Stiff and stubborn their bodies lay, a slight awkwardness bouncing off each other. Frodo's body radiates with a new warmth that Sam has not known. Although Frodo is cold, the touch they now have heats up his heart. “Sam,” Frodo starts. “Aye?” Sam hums. “I'm afraid to sleep. My dreamscapes are no longer dreams.” He admits.

    Frodo can't sleep, maybe cuddles will help

    Summary

    “Dwarves tend to use the stones they come from, but here,” Gandalf says, reaching into some hidden pocket of his robes and revealing a handful of very dirty gemstones. “Take these.” 

    Covered in dirt and all else, Bilbo really can’t see what he’s even looking at. A couple of gems, perhaps, or crystals. Only one tends to be actually cut into the fashion of rings, but the others look like they’ve come from the ground directly. One looks to be a garnet, but that’s the only color he recognizes. 

    “And pray tell,” Bilbo drawls, “what am I supposed to do with this?” 

    Gandalf laughs, fully bodied and leaning forward slightly. Bilbo can’t help but stare, half debating on throwing the mismatched rocks right onto the ground. 

    “Why, give it to Thorin, perhaps? As a token of… friendship,” Gandalf says.

    -

    Or Bilbo gives Thorin a gem that means lust. Thorin eventually replies with a flower that means hate. They figure it out in the end.

    Summary

    The thing about Bakugou Katsuki was that he felt like a bomb waiting to be chained. The thing about Sero Hanta was that he just learned to tell time by the ticking.

    They made no sense on paper, but in the dark, still hours before dawn, they made all the sense in the world.

    Summary

    “How about a bet?”
    Keith paused.
    “If I can make you fall in love with the holidays by Christmas night, you’ll take the shift.”
    Keith snorted, turning to face Lance. He kept that vaguely annoyed smile on his face, but nothing could hide the gleam of interest in his eyes.
    “You’re not going to make that happen.”
    “Okay,” Lance shrugged. “Then what’s the harm of taking the bet?”
    Keith’s eyes rose to the ceiling, thinking.
    “And,” Lance rushed in, “and I’ll sweeten the deal. I’ll work New Years as well.”
    Now that got Keith’s attention.
    They had drawn straws for who would work New Years Day weeks ago. It was one of the worst shifts for a toy store. Being deathly hungover while listening to kids scream and toys screech was the stuff of nightmares. Keith had lost and was stuck with the shift.
    A slow grin tugged at Keith’s lips. “You’re insane.”

    ***

    When Lance gets stuck with the Christmas shift, he immediately turns to Keith, a self-proclaimed Scrooge, to cover the shift. When Keith refuses, Lance offers up a bet. If he can make Keith fall in love with the holidays before Christmas, Keith will take the shift. Nonsense straight from a Hallmark movie follows.
