Summary
After something comes up, Xingqiu is unable to return home for winter break from his boarding school, leaving him and 9 other students stuck holding-over in this godforsaken school for an entire month. 31 whole days. And of course, it's over his favorite holiday, Christmas. All because his parents decided his brother was more important than spending the holidays with him, of course.
Joining him in this hell-scape are Diluc and Kaeya, two brothers with a puzzling rift in between them. Mika, who is dealing with stuff he'd like to keep secret. Bennett, Collei, and Diona, who just need a place to stay during the winter break, all for their own reasons. And then there's Venti and Scaramouche, who both have mysterious explanations as to why they're staying over the break.
Xingqiu, and the others, have to learn the importance of friendship when dealing with hardships during stressful situations. As tensions are rising and Christmas is getting closer, the Professor left in charge of them during the break just wants them to all get along and to actually do their work. Without getting into any fights. Hopefully.
(This fic is inspired by the 2023 movie The Holdovers!)

Summary
Jake’s anger was palpable enough to burn a hole through steel, his jaw clenched so hard that his teeth creaked audibly. “Who would choose to leave a child on Pandora? Who would have a child in an obvious warzone? Who the fuck would endanger a kid like that?” he asks, all of them rhetorical because no one would be able to answer them anyway.
“And how the hell did Selfridge think it was a good idea to tell someone just as he was getting on an aircraft to leave?!” Jake asks again, getting more irate and angry, nearly tearing his hair out at this point. “That’s like saying ‘Oh peace out guys, but don’t forget there’s a literal child in there who could starve if left alone’. Like, the fuck?!”
He flops back against his chair, his breaths heaving out in barely controlled gusts that flutter the pages strewn about him. “Actually, Norm, don’t slap him. Punch the dumbass for me into next week. Maybe that’ll get it through his thick skull,” he mutters, utterly serious in his tone and his expression.
Or!All humans leave Pandora after the final battle leaving Spider behind. Oh, and he’s blessed by Eywa. That’s it. That’s the fic.
