    Summary

    From the Scots word for ‘seal’, a selkie was a seal who could take on human form. A common element in all the selkie-folk tales, and perhaps the most important, is that in order to shapeshift, they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay the power to return to seal form, and therefore the sea. If this sealskin was lost, or stolen, the creature was doomed to remain in human form until it could be recovered. The most common theme in selkie folklore is one in which a cunning young man acquires, either by trickery or theft, a selkie’s sealskin. This prevents her from returning to the sea, leaving the selkie with no choice but to marry her captor.

    —🌊—

    In which Nick, a Scottish fisherman, develops an all-consuming crush on Ben Hope’s beautiful and mysterious new boyfriend, Charlie.

    Summary

    All Charlie wanted was a peaceful Christmas, but somehow he ended up in Scotland for a three day wedding as the plus one slash fake boyfriend of a man he’d never seen before.

    It couldn't end well... could it?

    Or, the fake dating Christmas au full of family drama and holiday romance that no one asked for but I wanted to write anyways.

    Summary

    Nick looked up and stuffed his hands into his pockets, rocking up onto his toes. “Um, maybe I’ll see you around?”

    Charlie took in the man one more time, eyes roaming his face that was pulled into an expecting smile. It was hard leaving knowing that realistically, they wouldn’t stay in contact. He appreciated the sentiment, but Charlie wasn’t dumb, he knew where this was headed; nowhere. “Yeah, maybe.” He smiled a smile that he knew was fake, a smile Nick probably didn’t quite believe either before he closed the door behind him.

    ----

    Or: A look into the same day each year over the span of six years as Nick and Charlie figure out their lives, themselves, their friendships, and what they truly want (spoiler alert; each other).
