BLURB:
Gabriel Juarez has only one wish for Christmas, uttered moments before midnight on Christmas Eve: a hug. He wakes up the next morning to find his wish being haphazardly granted in the form of an insecure elf called Felix, who works as a wish augur and couldn’t bring himself to let Gabe’s wish go unfulfilled.
REVIEW:
I pretty much wanted to hug both these guys to death this story was so cute.
Gabriel hates his job, his boss, his life. Ever since his mother died he’s been pretty much on his own, alone. After having to deal with his smarmy asshole of a boss at the company Christmas party, Gabriel has only one wish when he makes his way home: a hug. Little does he know that his wish has been seen by Felix, a wish augur up at the North Pole, and that Felix just can’t let this wish go unfulfilled. By him.
Like I said, this story is trés adorable. Gabriel just needs a hug, and Felix just wants to give them to him. I loved how infectiously happy Felix was, with his ability to use magic…and bake like all the food in the world for Gabriel. Felix just wants to take care of Gabriel, and I really enjoyed watching Gabe become more and more alive under Felix’s care.
Plus, yeah, turns out elf-sex can be hot. Who knew?
I really enjoyed this short story. Very Christmasy, very sweet, and well worth the read.
Also, Gabriel is sarcastic as fuck and he is hilarious.
