    Summary

    After choosing to stay on Earth with Tyler on Halloween night, Josh is still learning what it truly means to be human, and what it means to love one. When late December settles in, Tyler suddenly realizes something huge: Though he’s brushed off Christmas for years, this will be Josh’s very first one.

    With only three days left before the holiday, Tyler becomes determined to give his alien boyfriend the kind of Christmas he used to dream about as a kid. In a whirlwind of festive chaos, he pulls out every tradition he can think of: Twinkling lights draped across every corner, cookies made from old family recipes, the cheesiest holiday movies imaginable, picking out the perfect tree, ice skating hand-in-hand, building lopsided snowmen, and snowball fights that end with breathless laughter.

    Tyler even finds himself explaining Santa, the North Pole, and the quiet, shimmering belief that Christmas magic is real. And Josh, with his soft curiosity and other-worldly excitement, absorbs every tradition like it’s a gift made just for him.

    But as the holiday draws closer and their moments grow sweeter, one question hangs between them like mistletoe…

    Does Josh want to believe?

    Summary

    On Halloween night, Tyler expects nothing more than candy, costumes, and parties with friends. Instead, he meets Josh. Strange, magnetic, and just a little too convincing when dressed as an alien. What begins as wandering through a suburban neighborhood becomes a long, unforgettable night. As the hours slip by and Tyler gets drawn deeper into Josh’s world, the line between costume and reality begins to blur. The only question is…

    Summary

    The thing is, for a while Josh thinks Tyler knows. How could he not?

    He’d only been on hormones less than a year when they met. He thought it was obvious.
    Josh never meant to keep it from Tyler, not when they spend nearly every waking moment together.

    Summary

    “I can be civil, Joseph. I can put aside our differences if needed,” Josh continued, staring into Tyler's soul. “Can I expect you to do the same? To be able to talk to me like an adult? You’re my linemate. I need to know that you have my back and that each time we talk it won’t end in a shit-fest.”

    Tyler Joseph knew this was his year to shine; he was one of the top players on his college hockey team, he finally found a place he fit in, and he was quite content with his routine of school, hockey, and friends. He could do no wrong. At least, that was until the new guy showed up and turned everything upside down.
