Chapters: 3/3 Fandom: Cobra Kai (Web Series), Karate Kid (Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Johnny Lawrence/Lyle Characters: Johnny Lawrence, Lyle (Cobra Kai), Miguel Diaz (Cobra Kai), Carmen Diaz (Cobra Kai), Rosa Diaz (Cobra Kai) Additional Tags: just two dudes antagonistically flirting, a pawnshop owner walks into a bar, Canon-Typical Violence, Johnny Lawrence Whump, Caretaking, a truly excessive number of Die Hard references, Johnny Lawrence being his loveable trash possum self, St. Miguel of Reseda, no I can’t just let Johnny be happy during a holiday Summary:

Johnny Lawrence didn’t do Christmas, but he did have one time-honored holiday tradition. Every year on Christmas Eve, he went to his favorite neighborhood dive, got loaded, and watched ‘Die Hard’ with the rest of the sad, lonely drunks.

Okay, so maybe it wasn’t much of a tradition, but it was his, and it was fine. After all, you couldn’t go wrong with watching Bruce Willis crawl through air ducts and walk barefoot through broken glass. Throwing German terrorist-thieves off of buildings counted as festive, right?

Right. Until the year that jackass from the Pawnshop walked into the bar and sat down next to him, and everything went straight to hell.

(Set in the immediate aftermath of episode 3x10.)

Written for the @cobrakaisecretsanta exchange! Now complete, Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, @an-sceal !

All I Want For Christmas (Is You) - Rated E (<58k)

Daniel’s turning 30 soon, and he’s getting his life together to fulfill a lifelong dream: opening a bakery to sell his prized family recipes. He’s even found the perfect building in the tiny town of Moonridge next to Big Bear Lake. It’s a big move for him and for Mr. Miyagi, who is spending the holidays in Japan taking care of his own lifelong dreams while Daniel gets everything else taken care of to open the bakery.

The only problem with Daniel's dream is that someone very familiar also has their eye on the same building: none other than his former high school rival and bully, Johnny Lawrence.

As a series of mishaps and run-ins have them growing closer while Christmas looms on the horizon, it’s up to Johnny and Daniel to work together and win the hearts of the city council by helping Moonridge win a Christmas festival competition for the first time ever.

My contribution for @cobrakaisecretsanta, for my darling @kellmeo. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, you beautiful being!

Finally can share my @cobrakaisecretsanta gift for @wicked-jade!!!

I am so glad I got the chance to connect with you through this show. You've been such a welcoming presence and I've always enjoyed reading your notes on the writing process and character analyses and also just plain fun chatter on the discord. I want to thank you for inspiring me to actually, finally, finish a fic! And I truly hope you find some fluffy good times here. Merry Christmas, happy New Year, and happy karate soap night!!!

@hunkydorkling - Happy Christmas!  Here’s your gift for @cobrakaisecretsanta.  I went with your Lawrusso idea for this one, with Daniel working in a gas station along Ventura and starting a relationship with Johnny just before he goes to college.  Hope you enjoy!

This is my gift for @idontknowkaratebutiknowcrazy for the 2021 secret Santa! I was so excited to get you Amy sweetheart! I wanted to make you a domestic lawrusso Christmas scene (seeing domestic lawrusso is your specialty), so I made them go out Christmas tree picking. And it’s snowing. And they have a little moment in between the trees 😌 And yes Daniel is a little underdressed but I wanted him in his red hoodie (reenactment is just so perfect and I wanna see Daniel in his red hoodie) lol and Johnny is getting festive in his very oversized jumper! I hope you have had a wonderful holiday season, love youuuu 😘💕 @cobrakaisecretsanta

A gift to @phoomwhoosh for the 2021 @cobrakaisecretsanta event!

When down-on-his-luck Johnny Lawrence reluctantly attends his high school reunion he never expected to run into his former karate rival, Daniel LaRusso. After hilariously butting heads, the duo soon learn they have more in common than they originally thought. While Daniel is struggling to accept the retirement his mentor Mr. Miyagi and the closure of their bonsai tree store, Johnny is struggling to accept that his aimless 20s are nearing an end. Both men find themselves falling back in love with the sport that brought them together -and more!- thanks to the help of old and new friends alike. Coming soon to a theater near you, 1993's most unexpected romantic comedy, KING KARATE.
