I love, love, love this story. Right from the beginning, all the way through to the end, you have interwoven all the love Shaun and Zach feel for each other and show in a myriad of different ways.

1. The writing journal from Zach to Shaun, because Zach knows Shaun's muse can be a bit of a bitch sometimes and only come out when placed in an entirely new setting.

2. A new backpack for Zach, one with plenty of slots and compartments because Shaun knows Zach likes to work with many different kinds of media.

3. The notebook skin. OMG, this is just the most absolute perfect gift. The picture you came up with is fantastic...makes me want to order one for myself. And don't even get me started on your description of the mural. *That*, my friend was pure poetry in motion, one word flowing into the next, bringing forth pictures in my mind vivid enough to touch. You really outdid yourself there.

So, that leaves me with the sex. Don't know what I can add to my Guh!, Swoon!, and omfg, hot! except to say I want the same kind of ribbon-wrapped candy cane Shaun got this year. Please? I've been very good, I promise.

Thank you for this wonderful Christmas fic. It's a gift I'm surely never going to return or exchange. :)
