Title: The Actual Best Present, the Actual Worst Present, and the Unexpected Present
Characters: Elliott Reed, Orion Bradford, and Abigail Bradford
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 14050
Notes: I aimed to write a whole rush of Christmas stories and then I spent like half of December writing this one. Go figure. 100% blaming this on watching two hours of Stephen Colbert breaking character and dissolving into laughter. Oh my god he’s too cute. I don’t even know if these guys ever got played or if they were just ideas and a couple ficlets (no existing logs, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen), but… I could not resist the big-hearted shrink, his adopted niece, and his legit crazy boyfriend at the holidays. (also, this is a thing that happened and it fills me with joy)


!!!!! my beloved platonic boyfriend Chris recorded a podfic version of this story that is quite excellent and you should listen to it! Part 1 and Part 2 ♥ ♥ ♥


( Christmastime is here, and it is definitely not someone's favorite time of year )
