And I'm starting the year with RPS again. This is my spn_j2_xmas story for toxica939. I'm really, really not the person you want writing your porn, but I tried my best to get the rest of your likes (and none of your dislikes) in there!

Finally, someone else who shares my Mike theory! You are officially awesome! And thanks - some days, I swear, banter is my arch nemesis, so it makes me all kinds of happy that you liked this! =)

This is absolutely adorable. They're so them and comfortable and perfect with each other. You really are awesome. ♥

Thanks, darling, but I'm pretty sure once you put Jared in the goofy red Christmas sweater and cover the floor in dog beds, the rest of it just writes itself. *g*

I can't tell you how much I love this, beginning to end. Perfect dry tone for Jensen and goofy, joyful Jared. I'd love to quote favorite bits, but I wouldn't know where to begin. LOVE IT. (Just in case I wasn't clear earlier, ya know.)

Thanks! They are made of so much awesome together, aren't they? I'm so glad you liked it! =)

I loved this warm, funny story. It was a wonderful foray into the inner workings of Jensen's brain. I enjoyed watching Jared through Jensen's eyes. There's appreciation and love, but a tight rein on lust, right up to Jensen wrestling Jared to the dog bed and Jared making his attraction clear.

Jensen getting Jared an embroidered dog bed really is the best present ever, and I love that Jared's ordered a fourth for Jensen. They'll soon be one big, happy family.

This was gorgeous: Jared’s smile is fucking huge, so big Jensen doesn’t even have to look because he can hear it when Jared says, “Santa Claus loves me.” He leans back against the couch, tips his head back until his hair brushes against Jensen’s knee. “Don’t you, Santa?”

The angle’s weird, but Jensen can see the way Jared’s neck curves against the cushion, imagines he can feel Jared’s hair where it’s grazing his jeans. You built phenomenal tension between these two, without really speaking to the attraction. Their chemistry just sizzles between the words

Thanks so much! I'm so glad that Jensen came through so clearly, and that you liked the dog bed! God, have you noticed how you always say the most lovely, insightful things, and I always respond with inadequately lame responses like thanks? I'm so incredibly pleased that you read it and liked it, but as usual, I just don't know what to say in the face of such a lovely comment. But I really am so, so glad that you liked Jensen and the dog bed and the chemistry they have here. Thanks. ♥

that was all kinds of awesome.

i don't read rps as a rule (an admittedly dumb biased rule) but i couldn't skip out on such a clever title.

[apreludetoanend]

Thanks so much! It was awesome of you to read it, and the title? It was just kind of my working title, a silly little thing that I wrote at the top of the piece, but then I just couldn't let it go! So hearing that you liked it totally made my day. Thanks!
