Christmas Gone Wrong

Summary:

When Vegas's mother forces him to join the Christmas Pen Pal program, he is left with no choice but to scare the person on the receiving side, away.

It's just a matter of time before his pen pal, Snowflake, gives up on him.

Except, nothing ever goes the way Vegas wants.

Or: A VegasPete AU in which nothing about the Christmas of 2022 was going right for Vegas. But even then, he didn't expect it to go so wrong.

Notes:

Russian (Русский) translation of Christmas Gone Wrong by Rose is available now <3

 

EDIT: If you see this reposted and wondering why, it's because I want to align the date of posting with the actual date of the letters (because wouldn't that be perfect? Yes. Yes it'd be for me).

[The First Letter]

 

 

 

 

2nd December 2022

 

 

Dear Snowflake,



Out of all the names you could’ve chosen, you chose this? It gives off the very strong energy of someone who likes to collect snow globes, or worse, likes Christmas. 

 

Anyway, the only reason I agreed for this Christmas Stupid Pen Pal thingy is that I was held at a gunpoint. Why else would I do this dumb shit? I absolutely hate this. And I hate this annoying C-word (Christmas).

 

What’s your sad excuse to be here? If you’re here willingly, that’s just even sadder.

 

Your Pen name is really annoying the fuck outta me if I am being completely honest. But whatever. You do you. Write back, don’t write back. Don’t care.

 

I don't think I have anything else to say.

 

I was told to use a nice icebreaker but that’s stupid so I won’t do it.

 

I was also told to not reveal my gender and age in the first three letters so FUCK THEM I WILL. I am a male who has lived twenty-one years of his depressing life. 

 

I think there were a couple more rules they mentioned which I can’t recall right now. I’ll make sure to read it before writing my next letter (if you didn’t decide to get rid of me) so I can break those annoying rules.





Sending this with lots of love blood,

Chainsaw

One fine day I decided to go crack *in italics* so here I am.
