Summary
Nick has had a slew of lovers over the years. Long-term, short-term. A few one-night stands. A few friends-with-extras. But recently, he's become…lonely. Incredibly lonely. His friends have started to pair up over the past few years, and Nick has begun to feel an intense identification with that dude from Company.
So when James appears and looms like Darcy and quotes like Fry and sounds like Cumberbatch, there's not a chance in hell Nick isn't going to start singing show tunes in his head and hoping for a way to trip the man precisely in the right direction so he falls gracefully into Nick's bed. Life. Bed. Life.
Well…
Both.
This is what happens when romance comes to James Hathaway.

Summary
Then Nick turns and there, glittering in the corner of the room, is a large pot plant that looks suspiciously like a very small palm tree. It's draped with a net of white fairy lights.
Nick takes several steps into the room, sets down his bags, and looks around in awe. "What did you do?"
"Welcome to the Feast of the Magi," James says shyly.Nick has never been one to enjoy a traditional Christmas. Turns out, neither has James. Which is a blessing in disguise, really, because that means they can make some new traditions of their very own.

Summary
The thought of James lingered at the edge of his consciousness like a shade, a Ghost of Christmas Past there to remind him how happy they'd been.
