Summary
“Here’s to ten years.”
It’s still foreign, on her tongue. That they’ve managed to make it this far, a revelation in itself. That Dani is still here — and still her — Jamie could cry. She might, if they stay standing like this any longer.
“Here’s to a million more.”[or: Dani and Jamie's tenth anniversary.]

Summary
“I-I just don’t want things to be...weird between us,” Dani says, feeling her face get hot under Jamie’s bewildered gaze. “And they are.”
“I love that you think going down on me is going to make things less weird.”
[Dani hasn't been kissed in two years. Jamie offers to fix that. Things get weird.]

Summary
Jamie has never put much stock into commemorating occasions, finding the marking of time passing by way of celebrating special dates to be rather insipid. She chalks it up to a youth with an absent father, a mother who bolted when life got too hard, and the ever-revolving foster homes that cared more for the monthly government checks than her own wellbeing.
Birthdays were not days to look forward to with delight as most children her age did then, but were simply a rude reminder she had ever been born at all. And anniversaries were even more of an enigmatic concept to her, having never witnessed one celebrated, let alone celebrating one herself.
(Or Jamie and Dani celebrate their second anniversary and Jamie comes to some realisations about love.)

Summary
It's been seven years since former best friends Jamie and Dani graduated high school. Seven years since their friendship fell apart as they parted ways to very different futures. Seven years they've seen each other only when Dani's back in their hometown for Christmas. Only this year, Dani’s recovering from the loss of Eddie and coming to terms with what her life might have been, had she made different choices, and Jamie is faced with some bittersweet choices of her own.
OR
I got fucked up by listening to ‘tis the goddamn season’ too many times and couldn’t get this story out of my head.
OR
I didn't think I could/would ever write angsty smut, but apparently I could and indeed, would.
I was also surprised to learn that this one wanted to be written from Jamie's perspective. So much discovery here, ha!
This was supposed to be a one-shot but I seem incapable of those, and the words just keep coming. Likely just two chapters, with plenty of smutty goodness in the second. [ETA: At least three chapters, dammit.]
Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Summary
There were many things Dani Clayton could learn about herself after many nights struggling with insomnia.
She could take up a new hobby, clean the apartment one more time, or she could check out some corners of the internet she had never planned to explore before.
Luckily for her, there’s an app for that.
Jamie Taylor wasn’t expecting to want reciprocal privileges from one of her newest listeners.
But here we are. It looks like they might both be learning something about themselves after all...
