Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Some sex and language.
Summary: Jensen Ackles is a rich CEO whose lack of purpose is catching up to him. The only thing that keeps him sane is the ballet, his eyes always focused on one dancer: Jared Padalecki. He never expects for them to meet, and he never expects Jared to be there for him when his life falls apart. It's on a sidewalk in December that Jensen's life changes forever, taking small steps that could finally lead him to true happiness.
Author's Notes: This all started when I went to see a performance of the Nutcracker 1776 and suddenly thought that there should be fic with ballerina!Jared. Because I think of fic everywhere I go now. And then I decided that Jensen should be ballerina!Jared's fangirl. And it was just kind of a joke for this stupid little snippet. But then it actually became a serious thing, and there was more background, and the story just grew like it had a mind of its own. And also decided to be a Christmas story. Seriously, none of this was planned. It just happened. And dugindeep was there to witness, edit, and contribute to it. This really would've gone nowhere if she wasn't helping me with it. She also hooked me up with a banner and icons! Best wifey ever! ♥ ILU! I owe you big time!

Soundtrack: I picked a song for each chapter! Some based on the general sound/mood of the song, some because they fit with a certain moment in the chapter, and some because they summed up the emotion within the chapter. I have my reasons for each. If you'd like to know, just ask! :P

I went a little crazy with this stuff, so please forgive me if it looks like Christmas exploded on your screen (and let me know, because I'll lighten it up a little).
