millie’s long list of malex fics | A Thrill of Hope by aewriting / @aewriting

Michael honestly hadn’t even realized it was December 23rd when he’d headed to the bar tonight. It had been a long day at the junkyard and, like so many other nights in recent memory, all he wanted was a cold beer and a warm body.

When Michael unexpectedly encounters Alex at a bar, misunderstandings ensue. But a freak snowstorm may be just what it takes to force them to finally communicate with each other.

comment: if you like tropes, this one’s for you! featuring jealousy, a snowstorm, only one bed, communication, reconciliation, and a hopeful ending. it’s not a rom com holiday fic, so be aware of that going in, but my god it’s good.

Michael carries the final box of decorations into Isobel and Noah’s house. Glancing around at the other boxes littering the living room, he shakes his head and sets the box with the others. He has no idea how they were going to put up thirteen boxes of decorations in the next five hours, but if anyone can do it, it was definitely his sister. Groaning a bit, he stretches and looks around for her. She was always running around like a chicken with her head cut off on the day she held events, and her own parties seemed to bring it out in the worst way. He finally spots her by the kitchen doorway talking to Kyle, of all people.

Michael is relaxing at Isobel's christmas party when he finds out Alex is sick and needs some help.

comment: one of the boys taking care of the other is like catnip in this fandom, so don’t let this fic be the exception! featuring a meddling kyle, the kind of xmas-party-isobel we all know and love, some comfort, and a reconciliation. just perfect for christmas! c:
