And just because the day wasn’t exciting enough…..
Finally, the lovely Solan moms got a turn. At least this time he actually bothered to give them anything!
His job there done, Father Winter helped himself to some milk and cookies. All in a night’s work!
Then, poof! Off he went, through Iridessa’s hand-crafted mailbox!
Overall, it had been a wonderful Birthday-Winterfest! Angelica and Iridessa were quite pleased with themselves, the kids they’d raised, and the fun memories they’d made that day. They were so glad they had each other to do all of life’s adventures with.
🛝✂️🎂 gem's last day as a child was spent at her favourite place: the swing set. and doing her favourite thing: crafts.
Winterfest Part 3
Ella had been at work when the festivities began, so she was pleasantly surprised to find Father Winter waiting with a gift for her when she got home!
...Father Winter was a cruel trickster. Since when did he give absolutely nothing?!?!?! What had Ella done to deserve this??
Ellis had been patiently waiting his turn, when seemingly out of nowhere his beloved niece hurled herself upon the physical embodiment of Winterfest Spirit!
Ellis washed shocked to see Ella put the beloved Father WInter is a serious headlock! He hadn't thought his niece was capable of such ferocity but the proof was right before his eyes!
As presents began to fly, Ellis resigned himself to the situation. He chose to believe his niece had some sort of good explanation for this. And anyway, he certainly wasn't about to step in and get himself punched.
Ellis had begun to laugh at the absurdity of the situation when Andre came in, drawn away from his erm... other activities, by the noise. And he couldn't believe what he was seeing!
Andre was certain he'd raised his daughters better than this! Had their time with Alexa changed them? He needed to have a word with her about acceptable house rules...
At this moment in the battle, the benevolent god noticed the stack of shining laundry neatly folded over the fireplace. Apparently Cinder had been too exhausted to finish the final steps. In the moment, it really added to the absurdist comedy of the situation.
Last to arrive was Ana, who wasn't a bit surprised by the turn of events. She merely calmly observed, judging his twin's technique, and occasionally locking eyes with Ella.
The distraction gave Father Winter the upper hand! With a mighty shove to the face, he finally got the furious Barrera off of him!
While Andre had a mental breakdown in the background, Ana wanted to see if any more presents would come popping out of the old man.
Alexa arrived just a moment too late, and watched on horrified as Father Winter told that whippersnapper what for!! Everyone was worried if Ella was ok, after that violent defeat. but no one moved to help.
Andre went to have the necessary conversation with Alexa, but she simply took his hands in hers and murmured soothingly. And poor hopelessly romantically pent-up Andre forgot everything, staring into his beloved's eyes. She really had him twisted around her little pinky.
Furious and now dazed from defeat, Ella followed Cinder's steps and tried the regular present pile next. She was determined to at least get SOMETHING this holiday!
...wow, ok. Ella was so shocked, she couldn't speak. What a horrible day!
She stormed off to complain to her dear Uncle Ellis, making sure the old father grump in the background could hear every nasty word. She didn't want any junk from him anyway!!
Ellis wasn't sure what to say, but Alexa came in to stand on her daughters side. Drastic measures were warranted when a sim didn't get what they were due, surely Ellis could understand. Ella for one was delighted to have her mom be on her side! Ellis continued to say nothing.
Alexa herself had just gotten a fairly basic present from Father Winter, making her the only sim in the household to actually receive a gift from him (Ana didn't count, she never got the gift meant for her).
Ana had gotten the most presents, what with poaching Cinder's and getting a very nice and expensive painting from the present pile! What a lovely day for her!
With all the Barreras having officially lost interest in the festivities and wanting nothing more to do with Father Winter, the Queens stepped in to try and keep the party spirit alive.
They finished off the pizza, relieving Luci of his duty, and had a very pleasant little dance party with Father Winter.
Recovered from the beating and having salvaged some Winterfest spirit, Father Winter whisked himself away up the chimney. Hopefully his next visit would be less... messy.
The Queens made their way home too, but before he left, Andre went to check on his son. He was shocked at the conditions Cinder was living in, and he really ought to say something to Alexa... but...
Just thinking of Alexa turned Andre's brain to mush. If she said all was right, it must be. Surely Cinder must want to live this way. Andre could just focus on planning his next visit.
The werewolf and the flower shop.
//edit: original lot by the oh so talented rheya28 that i just ruined for the purpose of this guy’s happiness.\\
One by one, the Solan kids lined up to receive their gifts. Of course Iridessa and Angelica had raised nuthin’ but nice list!
Although admittedly Apollo was more interested in second grand meal than in the weird guy who invited himself in everyone’s homes once a year.
And even while she was lined up to receive a gift, Artemis couldn’t stop taking notes of all the big ideas going through her mind! Alene thought theur little sister was a bit strange, but quite endearing.
Alene and Iridessa were so excited for the best part of Winterfest: Father WInter’s arrival! And Apollo was excited for his favorite part: second grand meal!
Artemis didn’t get what all the fuss was about. There were more important things to think about; like getting her homework done in time for her first day of high school!
Angelica agreed whole heartedly! It was always a good time to get a headstart on homework! And she was glad to finally have actually challenging homework to help with!
The two were so engrossed in the work, they totally missed the important visitor of the holiday! Though he seemed to be trying to sneak out the door before actually doing his job…
He's getting ready for pride 🏳️🌈

Part 45
Cinder couldn’t resist it anymore; he wanted to be with Quinn! So he dropped the conversation to go sit by them, closer than was strictly necessary. Quinn quickly made room, but not so much that they pulled away from Cinder…
Cinder Charm was the King of Casual. He was just so tired out, he had to streeeeeeetch-
-And geeeently ease his arm around Quinn, who just so happened to be in the way. Casually careful not to make eye contact because it was sooo casual and normal. So he didn’t see Quinn clearly aware of what he was doing, and bravely not teasing him for it.
And then his arm was looped around the sim of his dreams! When he dared to look, Quinn was looking almost shy about it! Cinder hadn’t thought they could be anything less than confident!
That one move finally made their blossoming romance fully bloom. They couldn’t deny they were more than friends now! And the next thing Cinder knew, Quinn was sweeping him off his feet!
With tickles, that is! Bwahahahaa!
Quinn’s mischievous streak was one of the things Cinder liked about them. And their laugh was pure joy! Cinder couldn’t help laughing along.
Alas, Cinder had to ask her to stop. His fancy new jacket was in peril, and he didn’t have a singing mice army to sew it back up! Which thankfully Quinn did not think was a weird thing to say.
And then the pair suddenly remembered there were other people in the room, and quickly pulled away.
Quinn excused themself for a moment, leaving Cinder to socialise with the other guests. But Cinder only had eyes for his True Love.
Besides, when Cinder tried to rejoin the conversation it had a completely different vibe from earlier! Sequoia and Chadwick had been getting on so well, yet here she was making fun of him so much he couldn’t look at her! Cinder didn’t know what to do with all that…
But it made Quinn laugh their beautiful sunshine laugh, and that was all that mattered to Cinder.
Despite the roller coaster of emotions the party had brought up, Cinder was so glad he’d decided to do it! Getting to hang out and laugh with his friends was a dream come true on it’s own!
And then as one, without warning, the group rose to their feet and marched towards the door. Party’s over, I suppose!
Despite the sudden departure, Cinder felt really good about how the celebration had gone! The guests gave him plenty of compliments on their way out, leaving Cinder a very proud host.
Bonus
Quinn tried to give Cinder a massage (boi was working too hard!) but they failed at first touch and made Cinder yelp!
Cinder wanted to give Quinn a massage, but I swear they deleted that interaction, I can never find it!!
Even though they didn’t get all that romantic, I’m so excited they finally got that Spark! I’m still learning what this whole system even is, let alone how it works, but it’s cute nonetheless!
Even though Pandora hadn’t been invited to the festivities, (a few too many Winterfest memories gone wrong in the past) she still sent her twin a gift to celebrate the day. It meant more to Angelica than she could say, even if it was a bit silly. She hoped her twin had had a nice date with Dirk Dreamer while Angelica entertained the kids!
Of course it ain’t a celebration without a few things breaking and sims needing to drop the festivities to fix it. Sure, Iridessa could’ve magiced it all away, but these two had a nice bonding moment, and Apollo learned some new skills!
(And Angelica got to keep working on her life dream of cleaning 20 things. Strange gal that one)
Kanaloa and Alene had a lot to catch up on! They weren’t the same kids they had been, so there was plenty to learn about each other.
Despite being a loner, Alene found the outgoing Kanaloa so very easy to talk to! They didn’t need to talk much to feel close.
And Kanaloa returned the sentiment and more! Incompatible social preferences didn't seem so insurmountable!
Plus, come thick and thin, they would forever be bracelet buddies!
It’s just such a cute interaction, I always have them do it when they meet up!
While waiting by the door for Dahlia to pick up her daughter after their lesson, Isabella reached up for Zain to give them a hug.
Isabella: Everyone at school says grown ups are lame but I think you’re pretty cool, Zain! Thanks for teaching me today.
Is this what approval from a younger generation feels like? I mean, Zain knows they’re cool but now that coolness surpasses the ages!
Zain: Anytime, Kid.
The only other sim they’ve ever taught, well, anything was Nari, so teaching Isabella the basics of piano was a whole new experience for them. They felt a surge of confidence passing on their own knowledge - and it helped that Isabella was a great student!
After completing their aspiration, Zain felt inspired by their wife to pass on some of their knowledge to someone else. So, they put up some posters offering piano classes and Isabella Loden showed interest! Looks like they'll both have Loden girls for students!
NOT THIS LAMP, TOO!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???
