December 24, the day when everyone rejoices, families meet to eat Christmas dinner together and spend time in a warm atmosphere, and the children just waiting for the first star to shine in the night sky to be able to open Christmas presents brought under the Christmas tree by the star. However, this year not everyone could enjoy the charm of this atmosphere.
France, a residential district of Paris. A man lived in one of these villas and was stripped of the privilege of sitting at a family table. The fellow gentleman was William Shakespeare himself, who got into a quarrel with the owner of a huge estate on the outskirts of the city. Whether he was or not sent to this house to spend the holidays alone, contemplating his bad behavior. Of course, the argument was about the color of the decorations on the Christmas tree. "Our Le Comte thinks how old? I'm 5 years old? My person is almost two hundred years old and he sent me here anyway! Absolutely crazy, I'm telling you, Fluff!" Which was won by the above mentioned gentleman, and the loser was sent here. So these and other comments could be heard inside the property from the very morning.
Yes, from the early morning, because Will, not caring about the fact that he would spend the holidays alone, started late preparations for the Christmas dinner, refusing to receive help from his old lady home helper, who offered him assistance in cooking. However, seeing the enthusiasm of this young, handsome man, she gave it up after the first attempt, and wishing him a merry Christmas (and not to burn the house down) she went to her own home to finish her own preparations.
But let's return to the present time, where the red-haired man, was trying to do two things at once, which was baking cookies and hanging decorations on the Christmas tree, completely (accidentally) forgot about these strange things in the oven, which ended in pulling out of it black as night gingerbreads. Contemplating what to do with these burned discs, he heard a knock on the door, so, wanting or not, he put one of the cakes back onto the tray and headed for the entrance to the property. Without looking who is standing in front of the door, he opened it with a flourish "I will not buy any matches, newspapers, but cakes would be useful to me, but if you do not have gingerbread, I will not buy... them?" and looked at his guest. He froze. "Alyssa? What are you doing here and why are you all in the snow?"
The short woman standing in front of him laughed embarrassed and shaking the snow off her coat she replied "You know, a funny situation happened... I threw snowballs with Arthur at each other in front of a manor and we somehow dropped the decorations that Sebastian hung all morning and he saw that and somehow... kicked me and Arthur out." she threw her messy hair behind her back and looked away, continuing her monologue "Arthur said that he would spend all the holidays in the bar, and I had no other way out than coming here, so... Will you take this unexpected guest under your roof for one night?" she lightly joked, smiling wryly at him. He couldn't say no to her adorable face, so he opened the doors wider and stepped back inside, making a way for her to enter. "It's my honor for having you here today" As she stepped in she could smell the fragrance of burned gingerbreads. While taking off her coat she shook her head and added "Are you trying to cook Christmas dinner? I'll help!" They ended up cooking together and fortunately nothing was burned this time. And William and Alyssa spent their little merry Christmas together under the same roof.

December 18th, a week before Christmas. Paris was alive with the holiday spirit; wreaths of pine and holly, tied with glittering red and gold bows, adorned the doors and windows of every building. Displays of candy canes and sugared violets enticed customers through shop doors. Children eagerly gathered outside the toy store, breath fogging glass as they eyed the gleaming model train set on polished tracks.
Restaurants opened doors to usher in guests, the delicious aroma of roasted turkey, accompanied by fragrant rosemary and melted butter wafting through the air. Snowdrifts were piled up on the streets, pure sheets of white lining roofs and crystal flakes settling in hair. Inside, hidden away from the cold, people curled up in front of the fireplace, steaming mugs of cocoa clutched in hands and shiny presents tucked under the ornament-laden boughs of trees.
And in one particular orphanage in the 15th arrondissement, the children rushed down the stairs to greet their special visitor—

featuring: arthur conan doyle (ikemen vampire); reader (mc) warnings: yet another modern au where they’re painfully human, not vampire. not sure why i went 3rd person POV with this one. words: 1,453 words a/n: this is my part 2 of the holiday exchange hosted by @ikevamp-holiday-exchange and my recipient was @lordsister - you’re an author whose work I really enjoy, so I hope you’ll like this even a fraction of as much as i’ve enjoyed your work ♡ ♡ ♡ // song inspo
“Oh, I didn’t know you were coming tonight.” There was no hint of surprise in her voice, no particular ecstasy. It was more like an exclamation of offhand knowledge, the type of tone one would use when they discover yet another meaningless fact.
“What a liar…” Arthur’s words were barely audible, as they pried past clenched teeth, but it is better that way. If she had heard his words, she would’ve retaliated, which would’ve led to further exchange of words and an utter waste of time.

Wolfgang fluff!!
As my eyes opened, I found myself staring at the cover on my canopy bed. Today seemed odd. Something was off. Scanning over to the covered window I found the light ,peeking through the cracks, a bit too white, whiter than normal in fact. In my giddy hazed state I groggily scuffled to get out of the bed and gently walked over to the window. As the curtains were pulled back I found myself being stared at a pure white scenery. Snow was everywhere, icing all the trees and caking all of the ground; It was honestly a beautiful sight however a slight rapping at the door caught my attention quickly.
“Lunaria, are you awake yet?” Sebastian’s Japanese accented voice queried in a deep, effortless sound.
“Oui, Sebastian, I am all ready to start the day,” I said as I paced over to the door and let Sebastian in. “So, what do you need? It’s unlike you to come into my room.”
“Yes, but I should warn you, the way you opened that door for me was without worry at all, you seemed oblivious to what you were doing, that’s dangerous in a house of male vampires, what would happen if I was Arthur?” His annoyance spoke louder than his concern but I could see his problem with my choice. I could see it, not understand it.
“So, what are your plans for today?” Asked Sebastian with a subtle tone in his voice, hard to distinguish.
“Umm, I think Mozart and I are planning to go out today if it’s okay.... Is that alright?” I knew he would say yes because he would want information for his ‘hobby’, so this was like a golden ticket to him.
“I’ll only let you go if you agree to the usual condition. Anything worth knowing comes straight back to me, yes Lunaria? Before you start, remember that I am giving you this time off work voluntarily so you can’t ev-“
Out of pure annoyance I ended the conversation easily: “Yes, Sebastian, I need to get ready”, I sternly said whilst I was pushing him out my door. “Have a great day Sebastian, bye!” Finally alone I got myself ready to see Mozart.
Eventually I managed to scramble my way out of the mansion after being caught by Theo for more syrup and being backed against a wall by Arthur for ‘fun’. Knowing what awaited me I saw my beloved ,standing in the snow.
“You’re late. I specifically said to you to meet at quarter past, fifteen minutes earlier than when I was going to meet you, because I knew you were going to be late, and you still managed to mess it up.” His gaze, stern, his eyes, soft. Many mixed signals were crashing into one another.
“I’m sorry but what can you expect, a girl has things to do and a mansion to look after, even if it is a day off.” I merely uttered the last part of the sentence but he knew, he always did. “What was the plan for today?”
“Just a simple walk. Then we can come back and exchange gifts.” He stated so matter-of-factly.
“But it’s Christmas Eve, why would we exchange gifts today not tomorrow?”
He hesitated for a second then abruptly spun on his heel, turning away from me.
“It’s something we do in Germany, but I have realised that it isn’t like that in France..” Considering to continue his story, I slowly tip-toed forward to almost encourage him.
“.... when I was younger, my family and I usually did everything on Christmas Eve. I mean, we always opened our presents on the Eve as everyone does in Germany but we usually ate a big meal together too as I was booked out for Christmas a lot..”
“Booked out?”
With a soft smile, he turned to me and I could see the fond memories peaking out from his directed gaze.
“I was a music sensation in my time, the nobles always wanted me to play piano for them while they ate their lavish dinners, almost like a music box. Yes. That’s all I was to them, a glorified music box.” A silence held us both captive as we looked into each other’s eyes with pure understanding, we knew each other’s battles. The snow glistened in the sun as it became more prominent reminding us that the time was still ticking. With a slip of courage, I slithered my fingers in between his, once they were there I clamped my hand tightly. His confusion was as pure as a daisy but I carried on staring out at the scenery.
“I’m telling you this now... Wolf,” saying his nickname was merely a whisper but as I felt his fingers clench my hand tighter, I knew I made the right decision. “ ...to me, you are no music box, you are the brightest star in top of the tree, and I love you for everything you are, not what you can do.”
I refused to meet his gaze as I exploded with a rosey blush. His breath caught in his throat as he looked down furrowing his eyebrows which I saw in the corner of my eye.
“You....... you....... don’t know what you do to me!” The sudden outburst surprised me as he yanked my hand and pulled me into a passionate kiss which I melted into as easily as blinking. Then he stopped and hauled me into a bone-breaking embrace.
“I love you, Lunaria, you are too good to me.” He innocently whispered in my ear without a care or doubt about the world around us. I was so ready for my first Christmas with him.

A Protector
This is my submission for the @ikevamp-holiday-exchange! This Ikémen Vampire fanfic is for the dear @assomoir, an (almost) 2,000 word Theo and MC fluff piece (I added as much Vincent as I could!) that I hope you, and everyone else reading this, Enjoy! <3
_____________________________________
“Oi, Hondje, what’re you just standing there for?”
“Oh!” I whirled round to see Theo striding towards me, a look of disapproval already on his face.
“Honestly. How many times do I have to call you knabbeltje for you to get it into that head of yours?” He spoke brusquely, hands in his pockets not entirely hiding his overall tension.
“… It’s okay, Theo, I haven’t been out here too long.”
It had been some time since I had come to the mansion, and while Theo was definitely the most gruff character of the lot, I slowly began to realise that it was mostly a front… mostly. One thing I had long-since learnt was that Theo was a “protector,” the type of person that couldn’t help but worry about others, including me, a human surrounded by vampires. ‘Of course there wasn’t any other reason…’ I thought, ‘his endless teasing made that pretty clear already.’
I smiled up at him regardless, “why are you here, Theo?” I enquired, he looked dressed ready to go out.
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re going to buy my brother new paintbrushes right?”
“That’s right!”
Last night Vincent was eating dinner alone (Theo had gone out drinking with Arthur that evening) when we got to talking about everything and nothing. During that conversation he told me he was in need of getting new paintbrushes soon. I offered to get them for him, save him a trip, since Sebastian and I were to go out the next morning to get some groceries anyway.
Except things don’t always go to plan… Sebastian had way too much on his hands this morning (there was actually some sweat on his forehead!), so I had decided to go to town alone instead.
…
That same morning Theo had managed to get out of his room at a reasonable enough time considering just how much they had drank last night. He was making his way to the dining room, already considering how much syrup he should have on his pancakes, when something caught his eye through the window outside. ‘Why is she-?’
“Oh, good morning, Theo. How are you feeling?” The sound of his brother’s voice turned him away from the figure of the girl standing alone outside the mansion doors.
“I’m fine, Vincent, sorry I didn’t have breakfast with you. You feeling okay?” Theo’s eyes checked over him, worry clear in his eyes.
Vincent smiled at his little brother, face serene. “Really, Theo, I’m okay,” he said as reassuringly as possible. Looking outside, he found the original target of Theo’s gaze, “she really is so lovely, isn’t she?”
“What?” Theo furrowed his eyebrows at Vincent’s words, “nothing lovely about the knabbeltje just standing there.”
“Be nice, Theo,” Vincent sighed softly before explaining, “she’s probably waiting for the carriage. She offered to buy new paintbrushes for me, you know. I’m still worried that she’s ended up going alone though…”
‘Going alone, huh?’ Theo considered Vincent’s words before turning to go back into his room.
“Theo?” Before Vincent could react any more, he was back again, slipping his arms into his jacket. Theo spared his brother one more concerned glace, “Vincent I’m going into town for a bit, I’ll see you later.” Not really wanting to wait for his reaction (and since he had already made sure that Vincent really was okay), Theo quickly walked away, heading outside.
“Really, Theo.” The older brother smiled softly as he watched him leave, “she was right, you really are a “protector”.”
…
“Vincent told me you were going to town,” Theo told me, “while he may think it’s fine there’s no way I’d trust the food to get proper paintbrushes worthy of my brother’s art.”
“Wow,” ‘there are no words,’ “so that’s the reason you’re here, is it?”
“Why else?” He asked, straight-faced, to which I could merely sigh.
…
The carriage ride to town was a quick affair, the other thing that was also quick and the first thing I noticed getting out was the speed of people moving around the bustling town.
“There’s too many people,” Theo looked around, “we won’t get anywhere in this rush.”
“We won’t?” I was surprised, it wasn’t that bad, in fact the rush was pretty normal if you considered the day and current time.
“Didn’t you know? It’s much easier for pups to go missing in crowded places.”
“What?!” ‘How dare?’ Before I could say anything else Theo grabbed me by the hand and pulled my into a… pancake house?
“Since I had to come out here and supervise you, Hondje, I missed my breakfast. Sit, we’ll get my brother’s things later.”
I couldn’t believe it, he just decided to take over my whole trip into town and because he was sitting in the outer seat I couldn’t leave either. Accepting my fate, I figured it best to just wait it out. ‘Besides, he would have a much better idea of the types of paintbrushes best for Vincent, even if I have gone to get some with Sebastian before.’
…
After Theo was done inhaling his syrup-drowned carbohydrates (he had actually bought me something to eat as well, which was sweet, except for the fact that he teased me about the way I ate throughout the entire meal) we made our way to the small, independent art store to buy Vincent’s supplies.
Inside, I naturally headed for the ones that Sebastian had shown me last time. It wasn’t until I had picked most of them out that I realised Theo hadn’t said anything. Turning, I looked inquisitively at him, “not going to question my decision making abilities?” I asked, not sure why I was actually bothered by his silence.
“Those ones are the ones Vincent likes… and at least you have the sense to actually check the brushes carefully and properly before choosing.” Theo grumbled, almost as if he were bothered by the fact that I could pick things for Vincent so well. I couldn’t help smiling at that, ‘maybe Sebastian’s strict teaching and instructions were actually worth it.’
Of course it didn’t take long for Theo to get distracted thinking of all the other things he could buy for Vincent as well, since he was here. That damage control was a lengthy process, but I managed to get Theo to calm down enough to pay for the things we were here for without worrying about him going off the rails.
“Gosh… we really spent a lot of time on this,” I sighed as we exited the store, thinking about all the other actual groceries I had to get now.
“Are you complaining about spending a worthy amount of time on my brother, Hondje?” Theo actually looked rather offended, I was quick to backtrack and explain.
“No, no! It’s just, we’ve only got one thing, there’s still so much else to do…”
“Wait, so much else? There’s more you need?”
“Yeah, the groceries I came for,” I looked at him as if to say ‘remember?’ He just stared back at me blankly. “Really? Theo, as much as I adore Vincent and would probably do anything for him, I didn’t come all the way to town just for his paintbrushes, Sebastian gave me a whole list of things to get!”
“… There’s not too much is there?” He asked.
‘Hmm?’ “I mean, kind of? … Yeah, there’s a lot.”
“Fine, let’s hurry,” and without waiting for a response he was walking away back towards the town square.
‘Was he always such a fast walker?’ I thought, as I all but had to jog to keep up with his strides.
“Theo?” I called out to him, “Theo wait. Hey, don’t leave me behind!”
He came to a sudden stop right where he was and I managed to catch up to him. Face turned away from me, I couldn’t see his expression, ‘is he okay?’
“Heh.”
“Huh?”
Theo turned to me with a smirk of his face, “what was that you were yelping just now, Hondje?” He reached out and pinched my cheek, “don’t worry, good masters never abandon their precious pets.”
I batted his hand away, scowling up at his teasing face. “You-!” ‘Oh, his eyes…’ As I glared up at him, I couldn’t help but notice the tightness around those clear blue eyes of his. ‘Could it be? He’s deflecting.’
“Hey, Theo, why were you in such a hurry?” I decided to ask him. As much as his teasing had bothered me, as much he was trying to hiding it, his actions weren’t consistent with his words, maybe there was something wrong.
“You’re pretty sharp, huh?” Theo put his hands in his pockets, puffing out a sigh as he turned his head to look back towards the painting shop we had just walked out of.
“… I can’t be away from Vincent for this long. I didn’t see him yesterday evening and I barely spoke to him this morning, I need to get back to his side.”
There was a distant look in his eyes, and I suddenly felt that maybe Theo was further away from me than I had originally thought. It was clear he loved his brother more than anything, but, in that moment, I couldn’t help feeling like there was more to it…
“Don’t go getting any ideas now, Hondje.” This time, he poked my right in between my creased eyebrows. “Pfft, keep frowning like that all the time and one day your muzzle is gonna stick that way, you know.”
“Seriously?!” I let out what must have been the hundredth sigh that day. Looking back up at Theo, despite the fact that he still had that smirk on his face, I knew that, in that moment, he had opened up to me. It was only right that I respond in stride.
“Hey, Theo? A lot of the stuff on this list isn’t actually necessary, I’m sure it’s all things Sebastian wanted to get anyway. Let’s just get the important things, that way we can get back quicker.” I proposed the only alternative I could think of, hoping that it would ease Theo’s mind.
After a moment’s pause, he reached a hand out and placed it on my head. “Alright… pup,” and then proceeded to ruffle it into a complete mess. Laughing lightly, it looked like a small weight had been taken off his shoulders.
“You sure most of the stuff isn’t actually important?” Even now, even when he was worrying, he was still making sure I would be okay. His kindness warmed my heart.
“I’m sure, besides, you know how Sebastian is, I’m sure he’s much prefer to get these things himself so he knows it’s perfect.”
Theo barked out a laugh at that, putting his hands back into his pockets. “Looks like I’m not the only one that doesn’t trust your decision-making skills.” Before walking again, albeit at a much slower pace.
I, on the other hand, felt rooted to the spot. His kindness and his teasing, his love for his brother and his need to make sure everyone was okay. The tightness in eyes, showing me his worry, and that laugh, filling me with a different feeling altogether. I felt like I had seen so many sides of Theo today, all of them complex facets of his overall personality.
It made me happy beyond belief.
“Oi, knabbeltje, hurry up! I need to make sure all the food makes it home, including you.” There was that smirk again, making my heart pound even though he was rather far away now. ‘I think I got a lot closer to him today,’ I thought to myself, before catching up to Theo once again, a soft smile on my face too.
