Rec notes: “Not even you can make a lamb out of a wolf.”
“Maybe I don't want to,” Leo blurts out the thought that first springs to mind. Lines like this are what make this fic so good. Leo tries to explain his feelings to Zo, and Zo reveals them to Riario.

Summary: A couple of days late, sorry. But here is our Christmas fic. Shameless smut because Riario just cannot keep his hands to himself any longer, but also lots of sweet awkwardness and loving feelings between them.
Rec notes: Leo has a great part outlining the origins of the winter celebrations, there's some good sacred and profane in an alternate application of anointing oil, and some Italian phrases with translations and contextual explanations in the author notes.
