Synopsis: Crowley was at the airport headed home for Christmas when his mother told him that there would be no one to pick him up if he came, because he wasn't welcome home until he changed his ways. When he gets back to his apartment, his roommate decides that Crowley will come to visit his family for Christmas. The only problem is that Crowley will have to get there a day earlier because Tyler's train is full.
Rell is kind of the family black sheep. He crashes at a lot of people's places and doesn't have a steady job. He comes home for Christmas and is blackmailed in to doing his mother's chores in return for a place to stay. One of those chores is to fetch his twin's roommate from the train station, which Rell is not looking forward to because he thinks that Tyler is annoying. It turns out, though, that Crowley is interested in a lot of the same things that Rell is interested in, and Rell can't help but become interested in Crowley, even though he's never really been in to guys before.
What I liked: How organic the attraction seemed between Crowley and Rell. They had a lot of interests in common, which gave them a good starting point. Rell saw who Crowley was, rather than who Crowley saw, and gave him confidence that way. The family dynamics were interesting, and Crowley getting a taste of a little of the holiday crazy that a loving family can provide was a nice touch after he had to deal with his mother. I also liked that Crowley didn't become bitter toward his mother, but that he was able to let her go.
What I didn't like: even though the relationship seemed to happen naturally, it still felt really fast, especially considering that Rell had never been with a guy before.… (meer)
