Summary
Gabriel Agreste insists on the most boring decorations ever. But maybe that's just what the Agreste family needs to bring them together.[1]
Plot
The story begins with Nathalie and Adrien decorating the family Christmas tree together. What should be a joyous occasion is a total drag, brought down by Gabriel's strict requirements for the tree. He has done away with all the old family traditions, as they are too painful with Emilie gone. Adrien misses the old way of celebrating though, and he begs Nathalie to let them bring some life to the tree.
She gives an inch, and he takes a mile. What starts as a small concession turns into Adrien sneaking incredibly unauthorized ornaments on the tree. But the biggest surprise is that he isn't the only one breaking the rules.
Reviews
Holy crap this was adorable. Just when I had given up that this fandom would ever write decent Gabriel again, I stumble across this story. Thank you for brightening my mood and making my night.Next year I bet they'll try to use their superpowers to sneak ornaments on the tree.
"Natalie, is that an akuma carrying an ornament over to the tree?"—Remasa [2]
I thought I was enjoying this in the beginning when it was just Nathalie and Adrien, but when Gabriel put the awful angel up in the tree, I actually started laughing. Was not expecting that XD. And Adrien's reaction at the end when his father suggests easing up on the rules was also adorable and hilarious. Just wanted to say this was really well written. I for some reason went into this expecting not to like it much but you did a great job of bringing it to life and giving me all the warm feelings :)—PoisonousCephalopod [3]
