Patton has never been more excited than when his online bestie agreed to come visit for Christmas! Despite his real life best friend's initial misgivings, and several surprises along the way, he's more than ready to welcome the merging of his online life and real world experiences.
Logan doesn't want his boyfriend to kill himself trying to survive a wintry Midwestern holiday, despite Janus' clear lack of forethought.
Remus is convinced Janus is actually a 40 year old AI generated serial killer.
What could go wrong?

Written for the ever lovely @edupunkn00b for the @sanderssidesgiftxchange Secret Santa exchange! Thank you so much for everything you always give our community, I hope this serves as a token of appreciation for all your hard work and the joy you bring Fanders all year long 💛💙💚🩵
title is a lyric from "Slow Dancing in the Snow" which is always the go to choir song I think of when I think of wintertime romance
Ok ok so that Logan/Patton one has a little cat pin, the hair color cam from Aziraphale's mixed with brown for The Gayders™️, O R A N G E R A I N , anyways...the eye color (which is barely noticeable) came from mixing Azira's and The Gayders™️ (specifically from my favorite logical husband)
Now! Remus/Janus! Hair is from mixing Crowley's and The Spookie Pookies™️, can't forget Remus' little strip of hair, snake spots from Janjan, Remus' eyeshadow on one eye, I put both Janus' eye color and Crowley's eye color together (I did not mix them, there is a small difference if you look close enough), puffy sleeves my beloved /j
The wings man...the wings....I added yellow outline to The Spookie Pookies™️ wings because the color was way to similar to the clothes
Anygay! These holy bitches have ring necklaces! (I can not draw the necklace chain going through the actual ring lol) They're married, your honor
Look at my beadie-eyed freaks (correct spelling? probably not)
I wrote too much...have a nice day!
~👾 (off anon)~
Y E S!!! Their designs are S O damn cute and cool oml!!! I A D O R E the fact that the Patt & Lo side is brighter than the Ree & Jan side and I L O V E the different little details you put into making their designs it's really good!!!
I wholeheartedly believe that Patton, Logan, Janus and Remus as the parental polycule sides while Roman and Virgil are their adoptive kids.
Why you ask? Because I fucking love introlomoceit so much and it would be a healing world when all the milfs and dilfs come together to love each other and their two children <3333
The snowfall fell gently from the darkening sky. Glistering like tiny stars when they reflected the street lights. The darkness of the night was growing fast and with it the chill.
Janus shuffled, pushing his hands into his pockets on his thick winter jacket huffing out a breath that clouded up the air before him, before burrowing his face into his scarf. Snow starting to coat his shoulders and hat. A snowflake landed on his nose and he sneezed. shuffling his feet again.
His phone gave away a pling and he took it out from his pocket, shivering as the cold air hit his hands despite the gloves. He smiled when he saw the text, unlocking his phone to reply to it, before locking it again and putting his hands back in the pockets, he exhaled as he lifted his head to watch the snow fall from above.
He liked the snow, especially when it was falling as gently as this, it brought a stillness to everything, and a gentle hush fell over the world as the snow landed creating a soft blanket over the frozen grass and ground. He shuffled his feet again, a full body shiver wracking through his body as he burrowed his neck and face into his scarf again. The snow was nice and he loved it, it was the cold he couldn’t stand.
“Janus!” a voice called along with the sound of running.
Janus looked to the side to see how the others came over, Patton running to get to him first. Logan walked calmly a few steps behind, dragging Remus: who was trying to catch the snowflakes with his mouth, by his belt.
“Sorry you had to wait, Janus.” Logan said as “But as you can see Remus is easily distracted.”
“Am not!” Remus called before he tried to catch a snowflake only to pout when it landed on his nose instead of on his tongue.
“Hope you didn’t have to wait for too long.” Patton murmured as he moved closer.
“It’s fine, the snow’s really pretty.” Janus said as he looked out of the thick blanket of snow that was steadily growing thicker.
When he first got to their rendezvous point it was just a thin powder on the bleak ground. The reflection of the streetlight on the snow illuminated Janus’s face, along with the sparkling snowflakes he looked almost ethereal. The others gasped at how beautiful he looked.
“You’re really pretty...”
Janus made a confused noise having not fully heard him.
“What?” he gave them all confused looks, flicking his attention between the three. Only to jolt when Patton suddenly took his face in his hands. a small blush grew on his freckled cheeks as Patton looked at him. “Um... Patton?”
“We said you’re really pretty.” Patton whispered before he pressed his lips against Janus’s.
“Aw hey! I wanna kiss him too!” Remus whined “Paaat don’t take him all for your seeeelf!” Patton chuckled when he pulled back smiling at Remus. Janus was spluttering, a bright blush painting his cheeks. Patton let go of Janus who made a weak noise at the loss of contact, absently rubbing at his cheeks, missing the warmth from Patton’s hands.
Patton did a small spin before he let himself slup against Remus
“Now whatever can I do to make it up to you? My little rat?” Remus blinked and opened his mouth only for Patton to straighten up and kiss him, deeply, tongue and all. Remus made a surprised happy noise and happily hugged around Patton as the kiss grew a bit more heated.
Janus blinked when the light from the streetlight got put in shadow and looked up to find how Logan had moved closer. Janus looked up at him with a hum. only to squeak when Logan leaned down and kissed him on the forehead and then his nose. Before raising his hand to hold Janus’s scared cheek and kissing him. Janus huffed out his nose before he kissed back.
“STOP KISSING HIM BEFORE MEEEEEEE!” Remus cried loudly holding a laughing Patton in his arms.
“Oh, my apologies~” Logan said with a smirk before he sent Janus in a spin, Patton got out from Remus’s hold, letting the chaotic man catch Janus who snorted at their antics.
“Hello there~” Janus said with a smirk as he looked up at Remus, who blinked back down at him. Janus chuckled before he reached up and grabbed Remus’s head and pulled him down for a spider man like kiss. When they pulled away Remus was grinning.
After the greeting kisses they began the remaining trip to the movie theatre, and after the movie was done the remainder of the evening was spent at Logan’s apartment, eating take away food and Pizza while playing games and laughing.
Janus loved the winter and the snow. But it’s beauty was nothing compared to his boyfriends laughing hard enough they almost cried.
And if Morning found them in a heap on the emperor sized bed, then that was morning’s secret to keep.
See this link for an explanation of this event and this for the last Dice Roll Fic.
(This event is a randomization event for ships, universes, and genres in fanfiction writing. I’ll roll dice (well, use the google number generator) to decide things about a fic I’m going to write and then write it. This stage is just me telling everyone what I’m doing.)
1. I rolled a number 1-5 and got 4. So the pairing for this fic will be between four people.
2. _______/_______/_______/_______
3. a) I rolled a number 1-6 and got 1. Thus character a in the list is Logan.
b) I rolled a number 1-6 and got 6. Thus character b in the list is Remus.
c) I rolled a number 1-6 and got 5. Thus character b in the list is Deceit.
d) I rolled a number 1-6 and got 2. Thus character b in the list is Patton.
4. I rolled 1-20 for universe and got 20. Thus, my universe is a Ghost AU.
5. I rolled 1-10 for genre and got 4. Thus, my genre is Horror. (Thanks universe.)
6. I used a random word generator and got the word “dive”. Thus “dive” is my prompt.
7. I rolled for background relationships and got none.
My reaction:
So a Logan/Remus/Deceit/Patton fic. I... don’t know what a ship name for that one would even look like. And we got a ghost AU (which is a newer one for the list) and horror which... come on universe why do you always do this? It’s always like Cops and Criminal AU with crime genre or ghost AU with horror. Please universe I want weird combos. XD “Dive” won’t be too hard of a prompt I don’t think. Maybe I can have one of the ghosts drown!
This is fun! I get to decide which characters are the ghosts and I get to see if that relationship tag even exists on AO3.
