Summary
Hermione Granger is having the worst year of her adult life. And she lived through a war. She's drowning at work, Ron has a new girlfriend (the bastard), and as Christmas nears the last thing she wants to do is handle awkward conversation with her parents, or the Weasleys. Her solution? A solo Christmas holiday in a remote Scottish cottage. Two weeks of peace, wine, reading, and Crookshanks.
Draco Malfoy has spent years hiding from the world in Malfoy Manor nursing his guilt. His one escape? An annual two-week retreat to a cottage in the Scottish Highlands.
Except this year when he arrives, Hermione Granger is already there.
A booking mix-up. A snowstorm. One cottage. Two people who haven't spoken for a decade. Oh, and Crookshanks.
This is going to be the longest Christmas of their lives.
This is an advent calendar fic for December 2025. 24 glorious chapters, one chapter posted each day. Dive in, and enjoy!

Summary
“My apartment,” he says, keeping his tone deliberately even. Casual. “I mean… it’s close by, right? You could stay there instead of dealing with the hotel nonsense.”
The words hang in the air between them, fragile and irrevocable. Rozanov goes very still.
Shane feels a flash of panic—wonders if he’s misjudged, if he’s pushed too hard and too fast. He rushes to fill the silence, almost tripping over the words, trying to frame it the way he rehearsed in his head.
“It’s more practical, right?” He adds. “Less media. No teammates. You’d have your own space. And it’s only until flights start up again. You can leave first thing when they resume.”
--- After Rose, after Florida, but having barely reconciled since, Shane and Ilya are stuck in Montreal during a snow storm. Shane offers for Ilya to stay in his apartment, and offers up the rest of his heart with it. Or, an alternate take on what happens after Episode 4.

Summary
"Yes, coach," Jamie says, breathless but still somehow goading, and he's actually trying to throw a jab right now, even when he's hard against Roy's hip with his lips wet from Roy's spit.
Roy is going to take him completely apart.
Just another fic where they fuck after Jamie wins a match for Roy.
