Great story, miss you..great to read you ones more...can't wait to read more your fan CT
Another beautiful story by you. For me, cheating is a deal/relationship-breaker. But, somehow you brought me around to Charlie b/c he seemed to have really changed and really wanted to put Ryan's well-being and happiness ahead of his. I enjoyed it alot.

This if my first time reading a story from you and I LOVE IT!! So beautiful the way you detailed this relationship!
Wonderful story. I love a good romance with HEA and this certainly fit the bill. It made me tear up somewhere in the middle, which is always a good sign. Thank you and Happy Holiday.
It's really good. I love that you made them both seem more grown up. It's just. Im wondering are your other stories finished or do you plan on finishing them
Welcome back. You have been sorely missed. Please post more often, your work is needed and appreciated on this site. Thank you so much for this new story, it was a breath of fresh air.

Definitely a case of Opposites attract and two lovers needing to be more mature in order to be happy together. You made it seem plausible, but I had a hard time picturing Ryan as a big bear of a guy.
Loved every word.
That was the perfect Christmas story. I guess in theory Charlie did cheat but it's more like he stabbed their first relationship to death so they couldn't go back. Then he wants Ryan back and it's one of those oh shit moments.
I don't see Ryan as a bear either but the story worked for me. I'm glad to see forgiveness because most deserve it if they're truly sorry. I also liked how Charlie was willing to give him up if it made him happy which shows maturity.
I like the story and I'm glad it worked out for them but I'm not the forgiving type so I wouldn't know.
It's weird coz something like this happened to me years ago and I just couldn't forgive the guy in spite of the many apologies...I just couldn't/can't do it. Once a person cheats, that's it for me...there are no second chances or do-overs. It's probably why I can't really relate to this one but good story all the same. Cheers!
I love happy endings and I enjoyed reading the progress and how Ryan realised he was being a stubborn prat not that I condone cheating at all!! Well done and well written
Great to see you back writing again. Hope you continue with Across the Pond.
What a sweet story and I really needed a sweet story right about now. Thanks!
take the story further in there lives like 365 days worth! Ryan abd Charlie need more story
Enjoyable read.
Just a tip: watch out for "passage of time" in stories, and check this makes sense. The old boyfriend says he's "45 minutes away", but within just a minute or two's worth of conversation, he arrives at the door - the intervening text may have taken 45 minutes to write, but the activity described took just minutes. "Passage of time" errors are easily overlooked, so this needs to go onto a checklist of things to check during your first edit of any story.
Tender, hot, believable, and beautifully crafted. Thanks so much for posting this!
it is such a great story and so well written. Keep writing please!
This is the second time I've read this story and for a second time I still want more. This was a beautiful love story. Hope you will think about 12Days 2.0 what the guys are up to,marriage,kids, work, Sarah, Paul. Think abut that is if you still write
Amazing, awesome, spectacular, glorious, terrific, tremendous, blissful, beautiful, wonderful, sensational, marvelous, astounding, remarkable, breathtaking ...
....................................... SIMPLY EXCELLENT !!!
Really, I couldn't have loved it more - and I would love to read more about all of them ! Even poor Denis. He deserves some happiness of his own.
Congratulations !! A wondrous read ! ^-^
I've read it over, and over again. Would love a sequel, maybe they can help Dennis find true love, and we can get a sneak peek into Ryan and Charlie's married life, ensuring they made it.
Okay I don't remember reading this story before but apparently I have and all I can say is it was brilliant. Absolutely loved it all the way through and glad that Ryan and Charlie worked their way through
Of the story is dumb as fuck...he can't go on his vacation because someone with seniority submitted time AFTER he already had his approved!! Come on that's dumb shit and wouldn't happen, "yeah let me not go on this approved vacation , stupid.",
I guess you've never had that happen for you and work in a place where you've been denied time after it was approved simply cause someone with seniority put in for the same time. is it supposed to happen? no. is it right that it happens? no. does it happen? you bet your ass but again I'm happy for you that you can't conceive of an unjust employer. stay there forever.
I just loved this story. I thought the character development was excellent. I loved the ending. All stories should end like this. If only life followed a similar path.
Looved the witty banter and thoughts..had me laughing out loud. Lovely story. Lovely character development. Did i already say i loved the wit? Awesome.
Liked it more when I read this second time. But I wonder what happened to Phil and his twin brother?
...this wonderful Christmas story that I read every year.
Look, I do not read much! This story made me cry. Incredible. Well Done!
This is Wonderful! I was rooting for them all the way through this very well written, and believable love story. Love doesn't guarantee never making mistakes, or not ever getting hurt, even hurting the ones we love! But if it remains strong enough, no matter what happens, it makes forgiveness possible.
The first and best 12 days of Christmas ever my true writer gave to me
This was a beautiful story. I loved that you show the hard work that goes into a relationship and that if you both love each other and are willing to put in the work a relationship can make it through anything and come back stronger. When you love someone you love them completely faults and all.
I would never be able to give people second chances and this was a refreshing story to read, it may change my opinion about this case. loved it

I think Charlie deserved this 2nd chance. If I read that correctly he cheated one day before he separated with Ryan and that really isn't that bad. He knew what that would do to their relationship and ended it himself the next day, instead of keeping it going behind his back until he got caught like so many other cheaters.
I know this Author because I keep checking back on ‘Zombie’. Read it. I’ve read this story before but I didn’t comment. Al is a pivotal character and I didn’t notice on first reading. The way this novel is presented I might comment multiple times in a row
One of my ultimate favorites. I always, always come back to read this story and every time I read it, it always hits differently. Thank you for sharing. 🥰🥰🥰
A beautiful story, supremely well written.
Everything about it is just perfect - one to return to many, many times.
Thank you for creating and sharing.
