Announcing A Christmas Carol adaptation starring Five Hargreeves
Five / GN or F reader: Rated ?
All was quiet and still but for the wilting tinsel shifting minutely in the tiny draft at the window frames. The bar was deserted - as dead as a doornail, you might say.
You're a Christmas-hating bar owner with the world's most annoying regular - the sort of idiot that goes around with a 'Merry Christmas' and a goofy smile on his lips. In your opinion, Luther should be roasted with his own turkey and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.
But when you're visited by strange apparition on Christmas Eve, you realize that your Grinch-like ways have more of an effect than you could have ever anticipated. And who better to teach you the error of your ways than Luther's brother, who holds the power of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come in the palm of his hand.
Chapter One now posted! >
Yes. I'm ripping off Dickens, and shamelessly, I might add. And as Dickens wrote serially, I may as well rip that off too. Usually I write my entire fics before I post them, so this will be a challenge for me, but I vow to get the whole thing (4-5 chapters) done before Christmas.
I'll aim to update once or twice per week: on Tuesdays, Fridays, or maybe both!
Will this be a G-rated family friendly romance or a filthy smut-filled christmas romp? I genuinely don't know! Will the main character remain gender neutral, or won't they? I hope you know, because I sure as fuck don't.
Join me in this hare-brained scheme, watch as I flounder trying to get this motherfucker written in time for Christmas, look on in confusion as I jam Luther into the role of both Scrooge's nephew and Tiny Tim, and wince in pain as I shit on the work of one of the most beloved authors and social commentators of all time!
