Summary
Olive is selected to partake in a Winter Program in London to represent Stanford with Dr. Adam J. Carlsen. The moment they arrive at the airport, she realizes not all is as it seems with the man who's known as antagonistic and unapproachable. Becoming his friend wouldn't have any repercussions, surely.
“Carlsen is not nice. He’s menacing. Calculated. Antagonistic and unapproachable. Six foot something of pure disdain. Not to mention broody and sullen and grumpy and—”
Olive slung her arms around him, pulling Malcolm into a hug. “I’m going to miss you, too, and don’t worry, Malcolm. We’re just going to go and represent Stanford. Talk about science. We probably won’t even speak when we’re not at work. It’s not like I’m going to fall in love with the guy.”
The very last of the Twelve Days of Winter Cheer 🤍❄️
This is meant to be an easy, fluffy read 🥰

Summary
Adam: Wish you were here, then.
An hour had passed since Adam texted those five words into existence. Now, he regretted it. He was worried it was a step too far and couldn’t stop checking his phone incessantly—something he hated. She didn’t respond; of course, she didn’t. He was a fool for hoping she would.

Summary
Holden begs Adam to join him for an infamous Double Date. When Adam finds out it's with Malcolm, he folds. But when he walks into the restaurant to see Olive Smith, will he rise to the occasion or crumble at the sight of her?
Spoiler: he crumbles.
“Could’ve brought a better wingman, though,” Malcolm grinned. “He hasn’t sung your praises or spoken to Olive. Not a very good double date, no?”
"Holden always picked the worst dates.”
He meant it. This was the worst date Holden could have chosen for Adam. -

r/StanfordMeetup
ThrowAway_FakeTGDate
34M looking for a fake date over Thanksgiving Break.To be explicit: this will be the worst holiday you’ll likely ever experience. I don’t get along with my family or most people. My parents disapprove of everything I do and make that abundantly clear, particularly when there is alcohol involved. My cousin, who is more like a sister, is getting married over Thanksgiving, and I need a plus one for her wedding. Thanksgiving is her rehearsal dinner, but don’t expect a traditional Thanksgiving. Women only. Bringing a man home with me wouldn’t be believable, sorry. Expenses will be covered, and I am willing to negotiate compensation. Serious enquiries only.
Olive stared at the screen, then stared longer. Was she losing it? She had to be a little crazy to even be thinking about responding to this person. Yet, that didn’t stop her from reading and re-reading her response before clicking send.

Summary
Adam, Holden, and Malcolm are having Thanksgiving dinner with the Rodrigues and Carlsen families when Adam has revelations.
Adam could complain for hours about why he didn’t like Thanksgiving. The only reason he was here today was for Holden and Malcolm. Although their parents were no longer active ambassadors, that didn’t stop them from attending whatever events they could. The latest was a support something-or-other yank my dick while you’re at it gala in San Francisco.
Seeing as that was forty-eight hours ago, their parents used it as an opportunity to have one last joint Carlsen-Rodrigues Thanksgiving. Huzzah. -

Birthday Girl. by lavenderdaze

Summary
Olive receives a call from an investigative genealogy group that leads her to her biological father, who asks to meet. Needing support, she somehow finds herself on a trip to the greater Salt Lake City area for her birthday, Thanksgiving, and to meet her father, with none other than Dr. Adam J. Carlsen. What could possibly go wrong?
**Set the Thanksgiving of Olive’s third year. This is slightly AU, as fake dating and SBD never happened, and there are aspects of the storyline that have 100% been embellished. I can’t explain too much without giving away a spoiler.**

Olive asks Adam for help 💗
Just a little one-shot I wrote yesterday in honor of a belated World Mental Health Day, since sometimes it's hard (and scary!) to ask for help and lean on people.

Summary
Studies show that memories begin to fade and lose their detail over time. For some memories, it can take days or years, while in more severe cases, it could be mere minutes. But Olive liked to believe that other memories were impactful enough to tattoo themselves onto a person’s soul.
She had sincerely hoped this week would be one of those memories.In other words: Adam and Olive get married 🥰

Summary
It was finally happening. Adam had spent years refining and honing his self-control, and now? Now it was breaking. It was bound to occur, after decades of fury living in his gut at a simmer. It was unfortunate that it meant he was about to kill his best friend.
In other words: Adam and Holden are voluntold to be chaperones for a trip to Tahoe.
