Merry Christmas!!! Here's my secret santa present for @emily-is-always-right !!! Since one of your OTPs is Jess n Mike, i wanted to do smth more soft with their little snowball fight :")

Hope you like it!!

“That snow-woman’s good, but she needs some Snow Globes!”

“JESSICA NO, SHE’S CLASSY!”

Here’s my Secret Santa gifts for @mitchisnotabitch, with their Sisotp: Jess and Emily! 😊 Hope you like it, and Happy Holidays! 

hurrah! my gift is for @sammygiddings i decided to do one of your brotps (chris & sam), and as well as the final piece i thought i'd show some initial concepts too, hope you enjoy these! they're making snowmen

I got @chocobro-fancy for the Until Dawn Secret Santa! I saw one of their listed OTPs was Chris/Josh so I decided to try my hand at a winter-themed playlist for them! It’s a little melancholy, hurt/comfort, but I hope you like it!

but as long as you love me so

Winter Song | Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles “This is my winter song to you / The storm is coming soon / It rolls in from the sea / My voice: a beacon in the night / My words will be your light / To carry you to me / Is love alive?”

Snowball | Moby (Instrumental)

The Forest | José González “Why didn't you tell? / Why didn't I know? / Landscapes blurred by rain / Mountains covered in snow / Why didn't I see / The forest on fire behind the trees?”

Talking to Fog | Iron & Wine “Sorrow says ‘believe me, you can walk into my mouth’ / But every time we have, it's hard to leave / Let's say it like the sunrise when it’s talking to the fog / We're both looking for a light in the window of a house / Beneath our winter branches, underneath our winter clouds / But it's hard to find”

Suspirium | Thom Yorke “All is well / As long as we keep spinning / Here and now / Dancing behind a wall / Hear the old songs/ And laughter within / All forgiven / Always and never been true / When I arrive / Will you come and find me?”

Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) | Arcade Fire “And if the snow buries my / My neighborhood / And if my parents are crying / Then I'll dig a tunnel / From my window to yours”

Alan | Perfume Genius “Did you notice, babe / Everything is alright / You need me / Rest easy / I'm here / How weird”

Holiday Gift | Kai Leng (Instrumental)

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! | Sufjan Stevens “Oh the fire is slowly dying / And my dear, we're still good-bying / But as long as you love me so / Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”

Hi guys!

So a while back, I announced that I was likely going to be skipping the summer exchange this year. After reflecting upon the most recent exchange (UDSS2018), I have decided to step back from the winter exchange as well. In other words, I will no longer be running Until Dawn Secret Santas. 

This isn’t necessarily the end of UDGE and UDSS, but for the time being, I will not be running them. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the event, we’ve had something like 50+ different participants over the course of three exchanges, which isn’t bad for a “dead” fandom. ;-) 

Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for letting the Until Dawn Secret Santa/Gift Exchange be a reality for three full events!!

If you want more specific reasons behind why I’m stepping back, read below the cut.

Hello @thepeachyartist! (I can’t seem to be able to tag you, so I’ll link you this post, just in case.)

It’s your Secret Santa here! I was lucky to get you to do this for, our OTP matches. This is both Josh/Chris and a Josh/Happy Ending fic -- in a way. I mean, there is a happy ending, but it’s an AU. Still counts, I think. I’ve had some health issues, so this is a little shorter than I hoped for, but I hope you like this fic nevertheless, and happy holidays!

“Do you need any help?” A voice asks faintly from somewhere behind Josh.

He takes his earbuds off, the sound of Harry Styles drifting away, and turns his head. “Sorry?”

A worker looks back at him with a smile. He’s wearing a Santa hat with a bell at the tip – it keeps ringing with his movements. “Can I help in any way?” He asks again. His smile takes a dip towards something more genuine. “You look a little… lost.”

@bpd-wonderland it has been so wonderful to get to know you and I really hope you enjoy! (I promise the second half will be out in the new year!). 

I was so excited that you love chrashley as much as I do and that my first fic could revolve around them. I tried to include everything you asked for and I really hope you enjoy your gift! x

its never a dull moment with this group of friends

the time Josh gets sick of sexual tension and decides he will take matters into his own hands

hey ya’ll, i was an emergency elf for this year’s gift exchange, and for @polarizedhartley i wrote a fic for their otp, chris/ashley. i also included a little josh & chris brotp, and some brief appearances from sam, mike, and beth. 

snippet: "We might have our differences," he says, pausing for a chuckle, taking her hand and spinning her around, "but whether you celebrate Christmas, or Hanukkah, or whatever holiday you do, there's one thing in common: snow."

"In Los Angeles?"
