“Alright, pops, you’ve almost survived the whole bloody weekend with us two wankers. I think you’ve earned a couple pints and maybe a nice, relaxing soak in one of these big fancy tubs, yeah? First round on me?”

Happy Holidays, you Rebel scum! 

To @bjamesjr & @apopple

Its that time of year where I’m forced to be nice or I might not get that new game I want. And if I’m going to be nice, it makes sense that I’d start with you lot, yeah? Alright so, I’m not saying you guys are Han and Leia but I thought of you when Is aw this, so take it however you want to! I figured you guys were probably due for a bit of a break too, so a little wine should help that along. Just make sure the kids are asleep first! And I have no idea how these things work but they’re apparently fucking magic - you can cook a whole roast beef dinner in forty minutes, or something absurd like that. I thought it might help out a little since your hands are so full these days!

And for the little lads, of course, some Star Wars treats. Pajamas, naturally, because it’s that time of year. The collector’s edition Little Golden Books - I know they can’t read, but I figured BJ could make himself useful and cover bedtime stories for a bit! 

Anyway, I hope you’re all having a brilliant holiday. Merry Christmas! 

Uncle Rahul.

To @clrholt

I’m going to warn you up front, I’m not the best gift buyer in the land, but I wanted to get you a few things for Christmas - it seemed like a good time to properly thank you for letting me lie to people about our ‘sexual’ relationship! I’m kidding, I really do hope you’re having a wonderful first Christmas in Bayview and I might be a little happy you decided to make your way there in the first place. 

So let’s get to the good stuff, shall we? I know wrapping up the show has been a bit bittersweet for you and I thought this might be a good place to store a few trinkets that remind you of that overly handsome lot you’ve been working with so that any time you’re feeling a little down about missing them, you can just sneak a peek and be right back there, for the moment at least. My mum told me you always get a woman chocolate, so there’s chocolate for you. If you’re like allergic or something, please blame my mum! And since you’re so far from home, I thought I nice little reminder that you could wear around with you might be in order. And lastly, but again since you’re so far from home, something to keep that pretty little head (and fingers) warm for the winter. 

Thanks for putting up with me, I don’t know how you do it, but I’m going to assume this is my first Christmas miracle. Merry Christmas Claire!

For my brother from another mother, I’m shite at this okay, so just bear with me. I know you’re going to look at this book and think ‘why is Rahul getting me a romance novel’ but mate, I swear, it’s a cookbook. Just a fairly romantic one and I figured since you do the majority of the cooking at home and you’re about to tie the knot, it would probably come in handy. The hair and body wash is two-fold - anyone with a mane like that must take good care of it, so I thought I’d give you a hand. Secondly though, you’re on the road a lot and one bottle is better than three, right? I also thought you might like this beanie and mitts - totally tech friendly, with bluetooth headphones so you can keep your noggin warm and still rock out while on your runs. Lastly, just a little taste of home, because we’re British and need to remind people of that all the fucking time, yeah? 

Merry Christmas, mate, I hope you and your man have an amazing holiday and that 2018 is good to you both!

To @yelyahnichole

Merry Christmas Hayley, I hope you’re having a wonderful time with your family. Santa wanted to make sure you got a few things that we thought you might like but also to say thank you for being the awesome person that you. 

First up is vegetarian cookbook that according to Santa’s elves is a must have for anyone skipping meat. The next two are devoted to your love of all things Tommy/Peaky Blinders. First a hoodie, because while it’s cool, it’s also practical given Bayview’s weather this time of year. And also a charm bracelet - none of this means anything to me yet (I promise I will watch it soon!) but I’m assuming you’ll know what all the little pieces mean. I - I mean Santa - thought it was both fun and pretty, just like you! Merry Christmas, love! 

Rahul.

To @dylobrn @evanpxtrs @driiselba @bviewgron @itsaubrey

I figure the whole lot of you are on Santa’s naughty list this year, so I decided to help you out a little bit and do something charitable on your behalf. Luckily, it’s kind of cool - the winning prize of each card is one of our four basic needs gifts: literacy tools, clean water, nutritious meals or solar energy. The game is the same as a typical scratch off ticket, but you must match icons (instead of numbers). Flip the card over to learn more about the winning donation. Every card is a winner and either gives clean water, solar light, literacy tools or nutritious meals. YOu’re welcome, you wankers! Have a Merry Christmas! 

Rahul. 

I’m kidding, I love you all. Shhh.

♡ (Idris)

Alex had to admit, for all the flirtation and sexual energy that had once been a heavy presence between them, she was glad that what had really lasted between them was a real friendship. Not to say that she still wouldn't always look at Idris with a certain fondness, feel a naughty memory seep in here and there, and maybe a fantasy she wasn’t actually going to admit to these days, but his friendship and the ability to call him when she was in a pinch was beyond valuable.He'd come over sometime the night previous, bearing a bag from the chemist with Sprite for her and baby paracetamol for Ian. The fact that he'd had to drive out of his way to find a 24 hour establishment was not lost on her. She'd have promised the moon in return at that moment if he'd have asked.

She'd let him in the door and offered him tea, which he'd ended up making himself after she dosed the baby and collapsed on the sofa, too sick to be any sort of real hostess, and certainly not at this hour anyway. She was glad he didn't mind.

She hadn't remembered falling asleep and woke in a small panic after realising her son's weight was no longer present on her chest. She was quickly soothed to find that he was only a few feet away on the overstuffed chair, looking smaller than ever as Idris cradled him, matching dead to the world open mouthed expressions. She really hoped that he wasn't about to pick up whatever bug they'd caught. But it was the first time in two months that she'd had this much uninterrupted sleep, so she didn't hesitate to smile tiredly and fall back asleep for awhile longer.

Idris? Hey. What are you doing?

May I join you?

Lara: I had fun last night. Dancing with you was wonderful. Going home with you, even better.

Lara: I do apologize for dozing off now and then on the dance floor. But I managed to stay awake for the most part.

Desires // Idris and Lara

She had everything set up nicely, at least, she planned everything to be nice. Luckily, when they arrived, she smiled brightly upon seeing the cabin. It had been everything she asked for when booking it for the weekend. It should be, she thought, for all the money it was. “It has a hot tub, massage chairs, fully stocked kitchen, as well as one of those adjustable mattresses.” Lara was telling Idris as they walked to the door. It was quite a luxurious cabin, although small. Trees and dirt surrounded them as well and Lara quite enjoyed the nature.

Lara: So, I'm taking a day off because I haven't spent enough time with you recently. Off set, that is. So, when are you free? I'll be all yours.

Lace and Wine // Idris and Lara

She felt so immensely happy. The fact that Idris had suggested them becoming a couple brought no questioning to her mind; she could only agree. It almost seemed strange now to know that this officially began in Vegas of all places and that Lara had thought it might be simple impulse. She had strong feelings for Idris and she felt good about that. The woman wanted to nurture and care for him, because he was a wonderful person who deserved someone to care for him. He was her person. She had a simple dinner prepared, nothing extravagant like usual, mostly because she was so scatterbrained at the moment. Tobias seemed to sense her joyful excitement, tilting his head and nudging her playfully as she waited anxiously for Idris to arrive.
