Summary
In 2022, Dream of the Endless pays an overdue visit to his old friend Hob Gadling. They go upstairs to Hob’s flat above the pub eventually, when the smiles have faded into stares, when the heat beneath Hob’s skin is too much to bear a moment longer. He has not asked the Stranger’s name; that is a bridge too far, and even after being called as Friend, he can’t bring himself to press. This is already so much more than he ever dared imagine…at least in waking hours.
Now featuring everything it says on the tin plus a battle unicorn.

Summary
Comic book author Quentin and his best friend, artist Eliot, have an urgent deadline approaching after Christmas, so when Quentin's boyfriend dumps him right before his sister Julia's winter wedding to longtime girlfriend Kady, Quentin takes Eliot as his plus one. Two weeks in Q's small, idyllic hometown together with Kady, Julia, and Q and Julia's dad Henry Fogg. It'll be a working vacation, right? They'll get those pages finished in no time.
However, shortly after they arrive, extravagant magical portrayals of the 12 Days of Christmas begin arriving daily, addressed to "My One True Love" but lacking any hint of the sender. To uncover the identity of his true love, Quentin embarks on a quest with Eliot's reluctant, amused assistance. Determined but befuddled, Quentin revisits several old flames in hopes of solving the mystery, but is it possible his true love has been right in front of his face the whole time?
This novel-length Queliot Christmas romance features mutual pining, friends-to-lovers, dramatic magical Christmas presents, holiday baking, and domestic fluff, plus many sassy bisexuals.
AKA the "My Christmas Love" Hallmark Christmas AU.

Summary
In which Eliot’s horrible parents announce they’re coming to NYC to watch a taping of "Live with Kelly and Ryan" and plan to crash at his modest Brooklyn apartment. They call on their way to the Fort Wayne International Airport. Eliot has the space of a plane ride from Indiana to New York to figure out a plan…
All this time he’s told his kin he’s happy and successful, with a live-in boyfriend, raising a family of beautiful culinary herbs together. Most of that is true—except he doesn’t have a boyfriend at all, much less one who lives with him.
Once again, Quentin saves the day.
A Magicians future fic that disregards the last half of 4x13. Quentin saved the day but escaped alive.
Written for Queliot Week 2019's Fake/Pretend Relationship prompt (and posted a little late because life. Also, this bish is long).
