That is the whole idea, the Rest is free to choose for you <3 -

Summary
Something something based on Wham's "Last Christmas".
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone specialCould go anyway your little heart desires but a Payneland Ending is preferred! Do what you want! Just get those two boys kissing (or more) by the end of it...

Summary
Thomas King, done with the bullshit of his work rival Esther (who may or may not be doing illegal things to keep her standing, he's not sure, he just knows there's no way that she got more numbers than him organically), hires the worst fake boyfriend he can possibly think of in order to attend their holiday party to piss her off: her son Monty.

Summary
Monty and Edwin head to the playground for a second chance at a date- this time complete with snow on the ground. All sorts of fluffy romance (and second chances) occurs, perhaps with snow angels (or snow crows)!

Tags
Summary
Thomas and Crystal are both fresh from breakups with their respective exes (can be Esther or Edwin, Charles or David, whatever you'd like) and they end up stranded at the airport together over the holidays when there's a weather delay. Shenanigans (and possibly second chance romance) ensue.

Summary
Snow and frost bring back bad memories for Charles, so his partner(s) spend the holidays help him get over his fears in whatever festive way works to bring a smile/laugh to his face (getting trees, ice skating, snowball fights, etc.) Can be canon or au, whatever you'd like!
Bonus points if he gets warmed up in the end in whichever way you'd like (hot chocolate, kissing, etc.)

Summary
It's a cold winter, and Edwin is curled up, sick and miserable in bed. Yet somehow, he's still managed to grow painfully aroused. He suspects one Charles Rowland, who is currently cuddled around him (despite Edwin's insistance that Charles stay far away to avoid catching his sickness) to be the cause. Charles, like with everything else since Edwin fell ill, is more than happy to help take care of this problem for him.
(Aka- sick fic smut)

Summary
It is the final week before Christmas, and Edwin had intended to spend the days both he and Charles have blessedly off from work gearing up for the holiday: wrapping presents, putting up lights, and adding the final decorations to their Christmas tree, now that he has the time to give it proper attention. But instead, he is wasting his days away in bed thanks to a swift and thorough onset of the Common Cold—a name that, in Edwin’s humble opinion, fails utterly to communicate the true severity of the affliction.
At least there is Charles. He is, as always, the very warmest part of this dreaded winter.
—
OR: Edwin falls tragically ill over the winter holidays. Thankfully, Charles is there to take care of him—however he needs.

Summary
Edwin and Crystal get trapped in a magical snow globe! Charles and Niko are stuck in the normal world, trying to figure out what happened and how to help. At the same time Crystal and Edwin have to figure out how to work together to see if they can get out on their own. Lots of bonding to be had this holiday season!
(Rating up to whatever, and if you wanna add romance go for it)

Summary
Edwin and Charles encounter a pair of Mistletoe Sprites and have to deal with them! Unlike the Dandelion Sprites, these new sprites feed off of more than just being looked at.

Summary
As a crow Monty never really got to experience Christmas and doesn’t really understand it. The rest of the gang take turns sharing their own stories and traditions to Monty and help him experience some of them himself.
I’m not super picky about pairings or ratings or anything, I just think it would be cute to read about them teaching our crowboy about Christmas :-)

Summary
Charles and Edwin both get dumped on Christmas Eve, because their exes want their Hallmark movie happy ending. They meet in an airport, waiting for their flight home, and bond over it.
(I think I've read something like this in this fandom before, but! Two cakes! Love this idea so much!!)

The Dead Boy Detectives haunt Charles' killers. Not with some Dickensian objective of delivering their souls, of course, but because they are never to forget what they did.
Any medium, any rating, any agency members, preferably Payneland.

Summary
When they're both stuck at St. Hilarion's over the winter break, classmates Edwin and Charles become friends and form their own holiday traditions.
(Time period is up to you. Can be gen, pre-slash, or shippy. I'm really just looking for these two bonding and overcoming their loneliness together.)

"We can always talk about something heavier if you prefer," Charles suggests, though his tone stays light. "Like how come neither of us have a better place to spend the holidays. You start."

Summary
When Edwin is spirited away by a local winter deity, Charles sets out to save him. He's not expecting to find that Edwin went with the Cat King quite willingly, and has fallen in love with him. He also isn't expecting to start to fall in love with the Cat King himself.
(Does not need to follow the plot points of the Snow Queen at all, beyond Edwin getting "kidnapped" by the Cat King and Charles going to save him. Some danger (maybe there's another deity who has it out for TCK?) would be a bonus, but isn't required!)

Summary
Tired of his family trying to set him up every time he heads home for the holidays, Edwin hires Charles to pretend to be his boyfriend for the festivities this year. In a shocking twist, pretend feelings become more genuine than either of them anticipated.
(Up to you if it's just for a holiday party or an extended visit. Bonus points if Crystal and Niko make an appearance! Smut isn't required, but would be lovely.)

Summary
Edwin suspects that his parents want to set up an engagement between with him and Monty Finch. To get out of that union, he hires Charles Rowland, an escort, to pretend to be his boyfriend during his family's annual Christmas celebrations. What he doesn't expect is to start catching real feelings for him.
Charles is delighted that Edwin Payne, the youngest of the rich Payne family seeks his services for Christmas. The problem is, he starts to handle the work more than a job, wishing to be more than a pretend boyfriend to Edwin, even if he knows it's an impossible wish.

Summary
Niko and Crystal enjoy the holidays in their own way: by trying out some temperature play. And what's better fitting to the season than some ice?
(Could be very fun as a canon continuation after Niko returns from that snow landscape she's in. Perhaps she brought some new powers with her? Or just permanently icy fingertips?)
