Summary
Eric loves Christmas in New York, but this is his first Christmas since the divorce, and the normally bright holiday has him feeling lonely. Lucky for Eric, he happens to have really great friends who recently set him up to meet a very cute bartender at the Kingfisher. Deciding there was no time like the present to pursue his interest in men, an interest that had long lain dormant for the duration of his marriage to Holly, Eric sets out to woo Kyle and maybe, just maybe, not feel so lonely for the holidays.
This is based in the It Takes A Village AU universe. It is a stand alone and you do not have to have read ITAV to understand what is happening, but I highly recommend reading ITAV anyway!

Summary
After the events of It Takes a Village, Shane must navigate how to move forward in his career when the team he has grown to love ultimately sets a ceiling on his growth. In another life, he would have won his Stanley Cups with the Metros, been their star center and Captain, and the face of a franchise. Here, he is second line to New York's beloved captain and one of his best friends, Scott Hunter. He knows that to grow, he has to move on, but leaving the family he found in New York might be the hardest challenge he's faced yet.
This is a sequel to It Takes a Village and will not make sense without having read that work first. If you haven't read it yet, please do! For those who have read and enjoyed ITAV, I hope this sequel does it justice <3
