My Secret Santa 2025 Fics
Now that the reveal is well-past over and done with for the 2025 Secret Santa season, I'll post up all the gifts I wrote for others. Unless something greatly changes (and I just don't think it will), these will be the last Secret Santa gifts our three bingos will do. It's just too hard in the winter months, no matter how far ahead we start planning and organizing and doing the match-ups, because once the winter season hits, all hell tends to break loose for everyone, whether it's school, personal health, the health/death of family members, or too much involvement with various fandom events to allow anyone to focus on our bingos, so it means people drop out, need extensions, or just plain forget. We'll always encourage our bingo groups to be as creative as they want with our events and prompts, and we'll even encourage people to gift others without the Secret Santa part of it, but it's just a lot to handle at the end of every year, and us mods are just as exhausted and stressed as everyone else.
Anyhoo, without rambling further, here are my four gift fics - four because I nabbed a pitch-hit when someone dropped out.
Into vain citadels that are not walled

Summary:
Before he's about to undergo Erskine and Stark's experiment to make him the perfect soldier, Steve decides to have a drink at a local bar close to the base. He knows his best friend is already far away, and he doesn't have much of anyone else to bond with. That's why he's surprised to find himself with a new friend, a soldier from Canada on a bit of a break from the front before going back. Logan is surprised to meet up with the unlikeliest soldier he's ever seen, and he's been around a long enough time to have seen plenty of strange things and people. Neither can explain the pull toward each other, but they don't want to resist it either. Two men who'll find each other from Jersey to the warfront and through the strands of time.

At the urging of the school's newest teacher and counselor, Logan found Scott and kept him away to bring him out of whatever coma he'd been left in by his power-hungry, supposedly dead girlfriend.

Summary:
Seventeen-year-old Tony Stark finds himself dropped off at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters when his parents decide to spend the whole Christmas season in Europe. There he meets Charles Xavier's first students and quickly finds himself crushing on one of them. It's going to be a long season, especially if he messes things up on the first day he's there.
Scott Summers sometimes feels lonely even when he's surrounded by his new friends. Bobby usually makes things okay, but having a crush on the only girl in the school is pretty rough, especially when she's made it pretty clear who she's really interested in. But hey, who's this new boy sitting outside Professor Xavier's study? Is that really…Tony Stark?
