Summary
Rey doesn't like Christmas.
She doesn't tolerate it.
She absolutely, positively adores Christmas!
And anything related to the happiest time of the year.
So much so that she’s managed to integrate a bit of that merry and jolly magic into almost every aspect of her life.
In her apartment.
In her job.
In her friendships.
In her town.
And in an entirely unexpected turn, into the Reindeer Point Police Department- where Rey becomes the sole witness to a shockingly brutal crime.
Now she’s questioning everything… and everyone…
Including the charming Benjamin Solo, who turns out to be far more of an interesting character than just simply a delightfully dashing single dad she met at the local elementary school.
Will they manage to crack the case before the Elementary school’s Christmas Pageant?
Or will the mystery remain unsolved and perhaps ruin her favorite holiday for good?A Reylo Christmas time murder mystery.

Summary
Simon Riley, known as “The Ghost of Manchester,” has spent fifteen years as the most feared hitman in Britain’s underworld, until one last job grants him a chance at a new life. He escapes to Wynndale, a picture-perfect Yorkshire village decked in Christmas cheer, determined to live in the shadows and forget his violent past. Which proves impossible when Johnny MacTavish, a cheerful ex-soldier turned coffee shop owner of The Sneaky Kilt, and relentless spreader of holiday spirit, crashes through Simon’s defenses like nothing he's ever experienced before.
As Wynndale celebrates the season, Simon is drawn into Johnny’s world of found family, sparkly kilts, the true joy that comes with Christmas, and after-hours decorating. Before long, he finds his dark grey world slowly transformed into golds, greens, and reds, though none as vibrant as the blue eyes of Johnny.
However, when Simon discovers Johnny's in danger from more than just the local thugs threatening his coffee shop, Simon must confront the darkness he can’t outrun, a lifetime of cold and calculation, and what it truly means to love and live with another.
Or as I like to call it: "Hallmark Presents : A Hitman For Christmas"

“I had a friend named Changbin once.” Jisung’s voice cracks halfway through the sentence. His chin wobbles. “But he—he died.”

“I had a friend named Jisung,” he says softly. “He died, too.”
-
or: childhood best friends changbin and jisung were inseparable until one tragic night tore them apart. when jisung returns to town years later, desperate to cure his writer's block, changbin's double life as a mermaid hybrid becomes harder and harder to hide.

Summary
“I guess I always knew he’d be the one to ruin whatever teenage dream I had left. I really thought that I’d just pack my shit, disappear, crawl back into whatever hole I came from. Or maybe— maybe you’d just call the police when you finally remembered me, and we’d just... fade out. Two ghosts, different graves, different towns. But then, you gave me hope, hyung. And that was the cruelest thing you could’ve done to me.”
Just as the police prepare to declare a missing boy dead, Minho meets Peter.

Summary
You never meant to come back.
After leaving behind a controlling ex and a city life that felt more like a cage than a home, you return to her grandmother’s old vineyard. the only place that ever felt like yours.

He’s got enough to handle with a herd of stubborn cattle, a ranch that eats money faster than it makes it, and a past love that left him with scars deeper than any barbed wire fence. The last thing he wants is a new neighbor, especially a soft city girl with wide eyes, a sharp tongue, and curves that keep him up at night.
But love never asks for permission.

Summary
Seabright Bay is too small to breathe in, and Izuku Midoriya swore he’d never come back. But his mother is sick, so he does — the town, the ocean, and the boy who made it hell all waiting where he left them. Katsuki Bakugou isn’t the golden prodigy anymore, he’s a sun-bleached apology in a surf shop, a storm he never learned to name.
What started at thirteen with salt, a kiss and a cruelty, it never stopped pulling. Years of silence calcified into hate, regret, and a want neither of them knows how to survive. Now they keep colliding: in doorways and bars, on sandbars and sidewalks, caught between who they were and who they’re terrified to be. Izuku is done drowning. Bakugou is done pretending the tide isn’t his fault.
This is about the love you survive, the apologies that come too late, and the kind of forgiveness that feels like standing in the break and choosing to stay.
“Because the truth was, loving Bakugou had never been the problem. It was surviving it.”“You don’t get to call this unfinished, you hear me? You ended it the second you made me wish I was someone else.”

If you want to pretend we're not all living through a dumpster fire of a timeline and see characters you love be happy with mild angst that gets resolved so everyone's happy again, read on.
*As of chapter 58, all content is new and previously un-posted, if you were waiting for the prompt fills to finish.
