    Summary

    It’s winter in Hawkins, and Mike and Will aren’t speaking anymore. Living in Mike’s house, Will tries to be invisible, spending most of his time in the basement.

    Then the power goes out — and if there’s one thing he dreads more than facing Mike, it’s the cold.

    or

    Seven nights in which Mike and Will have to sleep in the same bed, even though they’re barely friends anymore.

    Summary

    "Lance had watched Keith Kogane win a bar fight with a broken hand, rip open a keg with a knife, and complete a whole wretched ensemble of activities you definitely shouldn’t do with a beer in hand.

    And yet here he was, glittery Sharpie in hand, waiting to sign Lucy’s copy of Altea.

    Lance opened his mouth to say something arguably rude and not appropriate for their current audience. Until he remembered that he himself had either watched or participated in these activities and was now holding a four-year-old containing his DNA. So Lance didn’t have much of a leg to stand on either."

     

    When Lance runs into his ex-boyfriend at a children’s book signing, he not only finds out that Keith Kogane ages like fine wine, but he also apparently wrote his daughter’s favorite book. As Keith lingers in town, Lance frantically tries to keep his daughter from realizing that the writer is not only a person from Lance’s past, but a character in her bedtime stories as well.

    Summary

    “Hey, did you know that I saw a mermaid once?” Lance says, gaze fixed on the ocean. The breeze combs through his hair, tugs the sleeve of his shirt off his shoulder. In the half-light, his eyes shine like moonstone, smooth skin dark as ink. The sight of him steals Keith’s breath away.

    “You won’t believe in the Loch Ness Monster but you believe in mermaids?” he asks, exhaling on a shaky, disbelieving laugh. Lance turns to him, his smile a light in the dark.

    “I’ll prove it to you.”

    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.
