My nephew’s dad left my nephew and my sister, and now I’m determined to make this holiday season the best they’ve ever had. I know I can’t replace his dad, but I can be the best aunt and sister they could want or need.
That means taking them to things like this gingerbread competition for families.
At least, until they decided to limit the families spaces to pairs, and now I can’t even fit at their table to watch them decorate their gingerbread house.
Instead, I’m put at the same table as Sasha, a godfather who found himself the spare in his little family, too. But instead of responding with the same anger I have, he’s being infuriatingly sweet about the whole situation, and it just makes me want to kiss the happiness right out of him.
I can’t sacrifice my nephew’s good holidays for my own romantic desires, but will Sasha wait?

You can often find them reading other queer stories and obsessing over fanfiction rereads (if you were wondering, it’s fluffy short fics and angsty long fics) and longing for a puppy while she tries to appease her current demon kitten.
