When my roommate Heck invited me to his family’s Christmas celebrations, I was hesitant. They were notorious for setting him up with literally anyone, and I was allowing myself to be served up on a silver platter.
What I didn’t expect was Ace, Heck’s cousin who offered me his warmth on the porch swing in the winter cold, complete with kind eyes and a sinful smile.
Was it just flirting? Or could this actually be my Christmas gift?
The Christmas Setup is a 2,500k-word MX LGBTQ+ short romance with a meddling best friend, banter, and instalove at first sight. It’s a great read if you want a quick dash of queer joy on Christmas Day.
Echo Lark (she/they) is a queer writer of LGBTQ+ love stories, where all the focus is on the character’s journey. She is currently writing short romances where characters fall in love fast and follow where their chemistry leads. There’s a mix of sweet and spicy stories, so be prepared to embrace each character/couple!
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 predominantly) and longing for a puppy.
