Happy Juke Jeudi! I wanted to list a few juke Christmas themed fics for this Juke Jeudi for anyone that might be interested. I got a little help from @missjoolee and @preoccupied-educator. I’ve read most of these but not all. The following are listed in word count/size order, shortest to longest.

Peppermint and Chocolate   by  sanssssastark  rated T
He’s wanted to kiss Julie since he was thirteen years old and waiting three years to kiss someone leads to expectations of what that kiss might be like. Turns out, it was way better than every fantasy he ever had. Her lips were soft and warm and her hand clutched at his arm, curling around his bicep and he wished he’d worn a shirt without sleeves because he’d have given anything to feel her touch against his skin. The kiss was everything he imagined it would be.
He just never thought it would leave him this confused.
Christmas lodge by darylvdixon not rated but it’s G
Julie and Luke meet when both their families book to spend Christmas in a lodge on the mountains. It's love at first sight and they spend the whole of their holidays together.
Let Your Heart Be Light by MamiRugbee rated T
With Christmas approaching, Julie decides she wants to pay a visit to Emily Patterson. Unfortunately, Luke realizes things aren’t exactly how he remembers them.
call me babe for the weekend by blushandbooks rated M (and locked for ao3 members)
Julie Molina, Grammy-winning popstar and reluctant Seattle native, returns home to her family and old friends for Christmas - and also to escape rumors and drama back in Los Angeles.
Old friends include Luke Patterson: The ex-boyfriend she left behind for LA and the promise of a blossoming music career. Only, the music career is not what she wanted it to be, and Los Angeles has turned from a welcome escape to an unlikely prison, and the only place she wants to run to is the place (and the person) that knows her best.
At the end of the day, she'll just run back to LA and forget about Seattle all over again.
But the city, and Luke, have more of a grip on her than she expected.
Blame It On the Mistletoe by Courty rated T
In the two years since they met, Julie and Luke have been dancing around the connection between them, both too afraid they'll ruin the other's life they've worked so hard to build.
Good thing they have some friends who decide a little Christmas magic is in order.
 
all i want for christmas is you by ruzekhalstead rated T
when julie finds herself in a situation where she needs luke to come home with her to celebrate christmas with her family, he is more than happy to oblige. too bad julie's already in love with him, and not sure when she stopped pretending.
holiday au
"the entire family is getting together for christmas and she just assumed i was bringing my boyfriend and then when i tried to explain, she mentioned you by name and i just kind of blanked and basically, my whole family thinks you're my boyfriend and you're coming to spend christmas with me."
"cool. when do we leave?"
 
Ladder to the Stars: A Juke Christmas Story by SeaStarStories rated T
Julie books a quiet winter retreat, but a typo has her turning up at the wrong cabin. Then a major snowstorm forces her to stay with Luke, whether she likes it or not. The problem is she likes it.
 
'Tis the Damn Season (hear me out) by IMaketheMonsters rated M
There’s nothing like coming home the week of Christmas and discovering you’re still in love with a worm-eater.
OR: the Home for the Holidays!AU that no one asked for
those cold December nights by Labyrinthinee rated M
Sure, Luke's life hadn’t turned out exactly how he wanted it to.
If anybody had told his eighteen-year-old self, that ten years down the road, he’d spent a Friday evening at his friend’s home, not on stage at some shady club, rocking his heart out, Luke would’ve never believed them. But, he couldn’t say that he was unhappy. He had a good job, amazing friends and was invited to dinner at his parents’ place once a week. So, to be frank, he wouldn’t change a thing.
Of course, that's when Julie Molina stumbled back into his life.
 
the lucky one (i think it might be you) by itsagamefortwo rated T
“So you know who I am then,” it’s not really a question but Luke shrugs anyway, turning to glance at her quickly before looking back at the road.
“And you know who I am,” he pauses so long Julie thinks that’s all he’ll say on the matter but then he speaks again, and she can just make out the hints of a smile through the shadows on his face, “Reggie posts a lot on instagram stories. You’re in a lot of them.”
“I recognised your hat. From your christmas card,” she offers and feels her own lips pulling into a smile at his bark of laughter.   aka julie needs to get the hell out of la for a few days and finds herself in a small town with a familiar face just as a snow storm rolls in.
 
While You Were Sleeping by ICanSpellConfusionWithAK rated T
AU of the romcom While You Were Sleeping.
Julie doesn't have a lot going for her other than her fantasies about Nick, the cute guy she sees at work and her dreams of marrying him one day. When she saves his life only for him to end up in a coma with his family thinking she's actually his fiancee things get really complicated really fast. They get even more complicated once she meets his brother Luke and the two start to fall for each other. Julie just needs to wait for Nick to wake up and get back to her normal life only things are never that simple. It's time for Julie to decide what...and who...she really wants.
 
Merry Ex-Mas by Bluefire510 rated T
The one thing Julie Molina hates more than Christmas is Luke Patterson, her former boyfriend and current pain in the ass.
But when her little brother and his best friend embark on a journey to the North Pole for Operation: Save Santa, she's forced to team up with her ex to wrangle them back home in time for Christmas.
It goes as well as expected...
Inspired by the book 'Ex-Mas' written by Kate Brian.

They gotta tell each other how they feel at some point, right? Well, these are the types of confessions that have you holding your breath or kicking your feet in the air.
Here are the nominees for Best Confession - Fanfiction:
tossin’ rocks at your window by @alphinias
“I’ve been dropping hints for months, dipshit,” she cut across him. JJ stared at her, processing. Yanked her further into his space. “Uh, I have been dropping hints for years, so.”
Adore You, Chapter 2 by @k-carreras
“So why are you here?”
“I kinda had something else I wanted to say,”
“Okay, what was it? And why couldn’t it wait until the morning?”
She was yawning, rubbing at her eyes but still smiling.
Now or never, Maybank, he thought to himself.
“I love you.”
the benefits of being under the influence®, Chapter 2 by @kiekiecarrera
“JJ. JJ, JJ, JJ,” she cuts him off, pulling away. He tenses immediately, but she doesn’t quite let go, keeps her hands propped on his shoulders as she looks at him. “Shut up,” she says, pulling her hood back. “I need to ask you something.”
JJ frowns. “Yeah?”
She smiles. “Can I please, please, please, have your number?”
And JJ’s totally fucking whipped, okay? Has no control over the instant relief that courses through his body, or the slightly unhinged smile that takes over his entire face, or the way he looks at Kiara, or the way his hands grip the fabric of her sweatshirt even tighter, aware of every single point of contact between their bodies.
He scrunches his nose up, hums under his breath as he looks over her head. “I’ll think about it, kook.”
Kiara laughs, and JJ should be embarrassed by how happy the sound makes him, but he’s not.
She touches a palm to his cheek, ghosts her fingers over the shell of his ear. “You’re a fucking asshole.”
And he grins, because he is, and leans forward, because he can, and he kisses her, because it’s the only thing he wants to be doing.
I’m just curious (is it serious?), Chapter 6 by @pakfiction
“I don’t know a whole lot about love either, or maybe I just don’t really know what it means,” he finally continued, his words falling from his lips fast and rushed, “but for what it’s worth, when I hear the word, I think about you.”
Mister, Mister I’m All In, Chapter 6 by @pakfiction
“There’s John B and there’s Pope. But then there’s you and I don’t know when you became so different from them but JJ, I don’t want you dancing with another girl, in fact,” Kie let the truth spill from her lips, fast and hot and unstoppable, “for the sake of being honest here, I don’t want you with any other girl at all.”
around the world, Chapter 12 by @rae-of-fricking-sunshine
“Just to check,” he props himself up on his other elbow, looks at her. “Do you like me? Like me, like me? As in want to ravish my innocent body and hold my hand and shit? Like that?”
Kiara wants to prefix it with unfortunately but there’s something in the faint blue of his eyes that she can see. Something vulnerable. “Yes. I like, like you. Take you round the world and then to my parents for dinner like you. Please don’t sleep with anyone else like you. Please can I sleep in your bed wherever possible because it makes me calm like you.”
i hate that mistletoe, it makes me think of our first kiss, Chapter 1 by @smileymikey
Sure I can.” She still looks a little dubious, so he throws all caution to the wind and takes her hand. “Kiara. I like you. I really like you. Even when you’re being uptight or mean about my tree.” Her gaze softens, but she still rolls her eyes. “I’ve spent a year still fixated on one of the best nights of my life, and if I get another turn at it? Well, I’d kinda call that a Christmas miracle.”
“That is the cheesiest thing you’ve ever said,” Kiara says, but whatever was cautious in her expression is slowly being replaced by something that could almost be hope. “You… really mean it? That you’d let me have another go?”
“Of course,” JJ says simply. For Kiara, he’s pretty sure he would do anything.
For a long moment, she doesn’t say anything, just looks at him, really looks at him. Her eyes are brimming with something he can’t quite place but he’s pretty sure is good. And then finally, finally, just when it feels like his heart is about to beat out of his fucking chest with anticipation, she nods. “Okay.”
the way you move is like a full-on rainstorm (and i’m a house of cards) by @ruzek-halstead
“Do you think I give a fuck if you think you’re going to ruin me? Because I can assure you right now that you won’t. You’re one of the best fucking things to come out of my shitty life, and I don’t want you to ever think you can ruin us, because you can’t.”

i think i just get frustrated because jatp/the show used juke to show us a pure healthy form of romantic love that doesn’t involve or need a physical aspect to it
it shows that with a good foundation of friendship and getting to know someone and really letting them in, a good solid relationship is possible
it shows us that words and actions are enough. that sometimes emotions speak louder than words especially when you are open and let the other person in — let them see right into your soul “the eyes are the window to your soul”
and it amplifies the importance of music in the show — which, at the core of it, is what it’s about.
music pushed the boys to follow their passion. music brought them back to life > to julie. music is what connected julie to the boys in the first place. music is what made julie’s bond with her mother so special. the lack of music is what made julie pull in to herself even more after her mother’s passing and music is what brought her back
and music is how julie and luke connect — the way the love between them grows and becomes this beautiful thing through their shared passion, through their combined efforts. pieces of their souls combining to create magic that helps them connect to people in a way either one managed to do as successfully without the other’s help.
and they get these moments all thanks to music
plus seeing the lead white boy falling head over heels in love for the lead WOC? him being secure about his feelings for her that he doesn’t even think twice about throwing heart eyes her way in front of a live audience? improvising their song just so he can make her look his way and make her smile while her entire school (and the internet) watches?
we need more of that, honestly. especially when there’s your stereotypical pretty white girl right there with her own girl band and interest in music

you got that kind of look in your eye
“you decked me in the head while you were playing soccer on campus”
masterlist
-
Julie Molina was feeling especially refreshed this morning. Although it had been a tough week, she finished a twenty page research paper bright and early this morning, and had just stopped by her Professor’s mailbox to drop it off. It was her last assignment for the week, and she had a few days to recharge before exams started. She was on her way back to her dorm, with plans to meet her best friend Flynn at an off-campus cafe for a late lunch in a few hours. It was hard to have a social life between gruelling classes, lengthy assignments and late-night cramming sessions. She spent most of her time at a library these days. Understandably, she was excited to get away for a few days and forget about the impending doom that is university. But her excitement came to an end when she heard a loud voice yell from a distance, “Head’s up!”

i mean. i keep seeing posts about how alex is the mature one out of the three but like.....
my dude has his moments
“i’m swimming”
“wHy aRE yOu In oUr StuDiO,” he says in a soft tone similar to that of dumbledore’s in the goblet of fire movie
“i’m gonna hide behind luke”
“in wEiRd PLaCES”
“he doesnt count, he’s a dad”
*in response to luke’s “and the only thing scarier than one girl crying is TWO girls crying”*:
“He’S RiGhT,” he says in a very serious tone with his hands on his hips.
*leans against the wall as he checks out the wall lamp in an attempt to look busy and inconspicuous*
“i mean you look really nervous. like yack in a bowl nervous,” he says to girl who is already extremely nervous.
anyway. love him
