I saw this prompt when the letter was posted to the Yuletide community, and immediately texted and email the Girl with all my squee. She got me reading Making Out in the first place, and we love it so, so much. (Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant are some of our YA writing heroes.) The second I saw this prompt, I knew I'd end up writing for it, and the moment we started talking about it, I knew we'd write it together.

The recipient's love for the series came through SO HARD in her prompt, and I hope our love did the same in the story.

dhampyresa is the only one who guessed I wrote this story. This is a fandom I've written before.

Title: Nina's Home for Christmas
Author: Carla and Stalky Star
Characters/Pairings: Claire Geiger/Paolo O'Connell, Lucas Cabral/Nina Geiger, Jake McRoyan/Zoey Passmore, Aisha Gray/Christopher Shupe, Benjamin Passmore/OFC
Written for: finkpishnets for Yuletide 2014, a Yuletide Treat
Note: We know the original series is set in the mid-nineties, and this is approximately five years later, however, the internet opened up far too many possibilities for fun when we started writing, so please accept our anachronism-filled fic. We were so excited when we saw your request for Making Out fic. We immediately knew we wanted to write you a treat, because your love for the series shone through every single word of your request. We love it too, and wish there was fic out there for it. We hope you enjoy this story. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to write it.
