Summary: Because that is the winter of him - and only him.
A/N: This may seem a little peculiar to you, but let me explain. Once upon a time, a strange bean called
greenconverses invented the pairing of Will Solace and Katie Gardner. A little after that, she then created a second pairing, perhaps a little odder - that of Rachel Elizabeth Dare and the afore mentioned Mr Solace, as a meeting of creative artistic souls in fluffy heaven. I fell a little in love with both pairings and with Will, creating for him this wonderfully woefully weird personality; and so fell in love with both ships. This meeting of minds between Will and Rachel became much darker in my mind and perhaps a little angst-ridden, and so this experimental fic, inspired by the simple prompt 'when the weather got cold', was spawned. It's odd, I'll warn you, but I hope you enjoy it - it's wintery and weird, as all holiday-time fics should be (...mmm.) Do let me know what you think. And a Very Merry Christmas to all.
Dedication: To
greenconverses , who is (forgive my language) a motherfucking ship-creating genius.

'He's just Will, though. Just Will. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Will, who needs telling when to stop a sentence and has to constantly remind everyone that, no, he's not gay, he just really really likes musical theatre, interpretative dance, Audrey Hepburn movies and the Princess Diaries.'
