Notes: True ending to Chiv’s Advent Calendar 2017 (Tumblr - AO3), haha. Contains short, New Year related Reader x SWTOR LI fics for Felix Iresso, Elara Dorne, Torian Cadera and Vette because released their fics late in the actual Advent Calendar. Enjoy! :)
(P.S. You’re also going to get a “true true” ending, just wait a few hours so I can get it done, haha ;D.)
Iresso has prepared a quiet, secluded place for the two of you. Even though he is smiling, he’s also quiet, mostly holding your hand and just enjoying your presence. When the countdown draws near, he speaks, and his words have no hesitation in them at all.
“I’m so glad I got to meet you. Not that my life was bad before you but… It wasn’t the same. You have shown me what it means to be truly happy,” Iresso says, inching closer towards you. His eyes are earnest and they fill you with calmness and peace, like this is something that is meant to be.
“I only hope that you have felt as happy as I have,” he says. His expression begins to shift towards worry, so you nod quickly. “I have, Iresso,” you murmur, pulling him into a kiss while the countdown ends, signaling the start of a new year.

Elara has organized a small party for you and the rest of the crew. She would not have done it if you all had had a lot of work to do but the past few weeks had been rather quiet. So, she wanted to pour her free time into something else important, wanting to give something nice for you and everyone else.
“You have done an excellent job, Elara,” you say, and smile when Elara perks up from the sofa she had sunk after a couple of drinks. “Thank you, sir,” she says, sounding tired but happy at the same time. You sit down next to her, putting your arm around her shoulders. “I don’t know where we would be without you,” you say, letting your other hand rub her cheek. Her eyes close a little.
“You would do fine, love,” Elara says humming, “You are an exemplary leader who needs no one-” She doesn’t get the chance to go further as you kiss her, the countdown ticking to an end. “-but I will still be there for you, no matter what,” she finishes after your kiss ends, making you smile. “I will be there for you too, Elara. I always will.”

Torian takes you to hunting, in celebration of the soon starting new year. After the beast has been vanquished, you two fall to the ground exhausted, tangled up in each other.
“You think it’s new year already?” you ask, slowly dragging your hand up and down his chest. He feels warm and good. “Probably,” Torian says, “It took longer than expected to bring this beast down. It was a worthy opponent.”
“It was,” you agree, flinging yourself on top of him. He’s smiling, and the look he gives you, full of love and admiration, makes your heart swell. You lean in to kiss him, pressing him harder against the ground. “Happy New Year, love,” you murmur, and he answers to it by pulling you back to a new kiss.

Vette is cuddled up against you on your balcony. Partying is nice, especially with friends, but both of you want to spend the last moments of the year with just the two of you.
“What do you think the new year is going to bring us?” Vette asks, playing with the collar of your shirt. You pull her closer to you and grin, bringing your hands to her sides to tickle her. She yelps and laughs, trying first to push you away but, in the end, her hands end up tangled over your shoulders.
“Tickling? Really?” she asks grinning, and you answer to it with a deeper grin of your own. “Yes. Lots and lots of it,” you say, bringing her into a kiss. The countdown ends, and the air is filled with multitude of different, impressive looking fireworks. “But also love,” you say quietly, and see the joy in her eyes.“And happiness,” she adds and you nod, pressing your forehead against hers smiling. “Definitely that too.”
