Waiting for Christmas
It started as toddlers covered in glitter and became years of friendship. The story of Cody and Regen, and how the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Cody first met Regen when they were three and covered in glitter after a Christmas decoration project went disastrously wrong. After bonding over the taste of glue, and eating all the chocolate on the tree, the two became best friends. Living in a small Canadian town outside of Calgary, they grew up together, went to the same school, played on the Chipmunks peewee hockey team, and shared a passion for both the Calgary Cobras and chocolate. While Cody stayed at home, went to a local college, and became a teacher, Regen was on a very different path.
Regen and Cody. Their names had become inseparable over the years, just as they had. Through good times and bad, the two boys were thick as thieves and close as brothers. When the boys became men, life tried its best to pry them apart, sending Regen to LA to play professional hockey while Cody remained in Canada and pursued his dream of becoming a teacher. Even with thousands of miles between them, Regen and Cody remained best friends.
Cody is in love with his best friend, and Regen is in love with hockey, and it seems that it will take the magic of Christmas to bring the waiting to an end.

Soulmates
A short story set after Spiral, with spoilers for Shield (LA Storm 3) and Spiral (LA Storm 4)
With one groom in hiding and an explosion of pink in the backyard, will this LA Storm wedding end in tears?
As his wedding day draws closer, Jackson is in the throes of closing a high-stakes case working in conjunction with ATF and aimed at dismantling a notorious drug supply chain. The long hours and intense focus have left him exhausted and marginally grumpy. The wedding is now here, and all he has prepared for his vows is one line scribbled out on a crumpled, coffee-stained napkin. Then there's the shiner he got in a scuffle with an old silent movie star. Was there a witness protection program for guys who hosed up their big day?
With Scarlett and Daisy at the helm of wedding planning, Oli isn't surprised that the theme is a Barbie fantasy. As a compromise, the backyard venue is a vision of pink and decorated with delicate spirals of lights that Jamie and the girls had spent hours hanging. However, as the wedding hour approaches and every detail falls perfectly into place, one crucial piece is missing.
Jackson is hiding in the study and won't come out.
