Erik teaching Charles about Judaism!

one, this ended up a bit short so i thought i'd just post it here two, i did some research and hope i got everything right. i will accept constructive criticism if delivered nicely.

Hope you enjoy!

“So…what? I thought Hanukah was like the Jewish equivalent of Christmas,” Charles states, looking up at Erik with wide eyes. “I thought it was something that was really important to you.”

Erik holds up a finger, stopping Charles, there’s a smirk on his face though. “Okay, those are two different things. First of all, no. We don’t celebrate the birthday of Jesus. I mean you don’t celebrate the birthday of Jeff who lived fifty years ago, though I’m sure he might have done something important in his lifetime. We don’t really have an equivalent. That being said, the holiday is important to me. I have a lot of happy memories attached to it. Time spent with my parents and sister. And I happen to like what the celebration is based on.”

“What’s that?” Charles asks.

Erik smiles softly. He hadn’t expected a discussion about decorating the mansion for Christmas and Hanukah to lead to a teaching moment for the professor, nevertheless, he’s not going to complain. He rather likes talking about his beliefs and culture. Plus, anytime he knows more about something than Charles, he’s going to take it.

“It’s celebrating liberation, freedom, and finding light, happiness,” He replies, “Something that maybe I struggle with, but I think it’s important.”

Charles looks at him for a moment, eyes narrowing before he asks, “Sort of like at thanksgiving when we all say what we’re thankful for?”

“…Liebling, I love you, but that’s a lot to unpack and I think I’m going to need some time to think about where to start on that one.” Best not to make comparisons there. He could come up with some that would have Charles regretting mentioning that holiday at all.

Though the food is good, he’ll give them that.

For a moment, Charles is silent, but Erik doesn’t dare return to the book he’s holding in his hands. He knows as soon as he does, there will be more questions. Maybe he should have broke out the chess set if they’re going to do this.

Before he gets the chance to move though, more questions are flying at him.

“So what holidays do you give gifts on? And what are the big holidays?” Leave it to Charles to be asking about gifts.

“The biggest holiday? Or the most important? The most important I think is Yom Kippur. A day of atonement. It’s a day dedicated to self-examination and gives up the ability to start the new year off without the past weighing us down.”

“It’s on New Year’s then? New Year’s Eve?” He asks.

“Normally late September,” Erik replies and laughs at the look on Charles’s face. “Hebrew calendar is different. That’s the first according to it.”

“And you just confess your sins?” Charles continues to ask.

“I’m beginning to think I should just buy you a book. It would do better explaining all of this in order and make it make sense,” He replies, sighing and trying to decide how to answer this question. He feels like he’s already left a trail of unanswered questions. Maybe this could be another one.

“It’s not like…Catholics, is it? We have ten days of repentance, this is the last day of it. We make amends with what we’ve done. We ask forgiveness and then out fate is decided. We don’t wait until we’re dead to be judged or whatever it is. It happens during life and we have time to make things right. The holiday has five rules.”

“Holidays with rules?” Charles asks, as though it’s a ridiculous thing and Erik can only roll his eyes.

“As though other holidays don’t have rules. Imagine Christmas with no presents or that obnoxious music or decorations. Your thanksgivings without the turkey. Only ours are proper rules instead of guidelines.”

The look on Charles’s face says he clearly doesn’t believe Erik, but he seems to accept that he has to ask as he sighs and shrugs, “Let’s hear it then. What are they.”

“Prohibitions. No eating or drinking, bathing, wearing leather shoes, anointing with oil or sex,” Erik states.

“So I suppose that means no sex in a tub filled with oil while wearing leather shoes? Erik, most of those things are things you don’t tend to do anyway,” He states.

“I didn’t say some of them weren’t dated rules. Just that there are rules. Are you thinking of converting or something?” Erik asks, making his way over to Charles, sitting next to him and sliding an arm around his shoulders.

Charles leans in, against Erik, shaking his head. “No, darling, I really am a man of science and evolution,” He assures him with a smile. “I just thought I don’t know much about your beliefs and Jewish holidays. It could be nice to learn more about them and celebrate with you. Besides, there are other Jewish children at the school as well. It’s not fair to celebrate the holidays of some and not others.”

The thought of Charles caring about something like that is enough to bring a smile to Erik’s face and he nods, kissing the top of the smaller man’s head. “Give me some time to think everything through and I can give you a rundown of it. We can start celebrating them next year and make sure to include everything.”

Charles smiles, Erik is sure he catches onto his happiness at the idea, but can’t be bothered to try hiding it. There are a lot of traditions he’s lost, holidays he hasn’t celebrated in years, and customs that he’ll need a bit to remember properly, but he’s glad for the chance to do this again. And, maybe, some of the kids can help him remember everything.

While You Were Sleeping Zimbits AU

I was rewatching While You Were Sleeping and thought about how cute this would be as a Zimbits AU.

Eric “Bitty” Bittle works at the train station and every day sees a handsome stranger, daydreaming of his seemingly glamorous life and how beautiful he is.

One day, the stranger gets mugged at the station and falls onto the tracks.

Bitty jumps into action and saves him.

The handsome stranger ends up in a coma and Bitty (who is mistaken at the hospital as his fiance) meets his family.

The Zimmermann clan comes to the hospital and praises Bitty for saving their Kent. Kent was adopted by the Zimmermann family when he was 10 and was raised by Bob and Alicia Zimmermann.

The entire family instantly loves Bitty, who is sweet and kind, and without a family of his own.

Alicia and Bob invite Bitty to spend the holidays (Christmas and Hanukah) with them.

Enter Jack, Kent’s brother, who is skeptical of Bitty. Who is this guy that he's never heard Kent mention before?

Jack and Bitty continually chirp one another, and find they really enjoy each other's company as much as they enjoy pushing each other's buttons. They make each other laugh, and have a lot in common but Jack is still suspicious of Bitty and his motives.

Jack and Kent's Uncle Mario finds out the truth about Bitty not being Kent's fiance, but tells him to just go with it. He thinks Bitty is a kind, sweet soul who would be good for Kent who is self-centered and needs to grow up.

Jack, meanwhile, feels guilty that he's fallen for Kent's fiance.

Kent finally wakes from his coma, and looks at Bitty but has no clue who he is. His family is telling him that Bitty is his fiance, and now they fear he has amnesia.

Meanwhile, Kent's real fiance, Jeff Troy (who is super snotty and an NHL player) comes back into the picture (they had had a fight and weren't speaking), sees Bitty and is like, "Who TF is this?!" But Kent was convinced/persuaded by Uncle Mario to go through with the engagement/wedding to Bitty.

It's at that point that Bitty confesses that he's not Kent's fiance. He can't go through with the wedding, and tells everyone the truth. Bitty tearfully explains that he didn't say anything sooner because he fell in love with the Zimmermann clan and with the experience of being part of a family. And also! He has feelings for Jack. He apologizes and runs away leaving the Zimmermanns sad and confused.

Fast forward to Bitty working at the train station, brokenhearted, and Jack showing up there with the entire family to confess his love for Bitty.

The two live happily ever after. The end!

It's straight up the entire plot! Bitty as Lucy? Yes, please. Jack as Jack! 100%! Just stick some Zimmermann cousins and siblings in there, a couple Haus peeps, and we're set!

*chef's kiss*

We’ll See - Chapter 13 - Don’t

It’s not that she’s been actively avoiding him, well, not completely, it’s just that right now, she’s not sure she’s in the right frame of mind to keep seeing him so frivolously, as if there aren’t any consequences at all. Especially not with Christmas and Hanukah and New Year around the corner, that would just be unfair to herself, to fake some sort of happiness with him, or create happiness which is only fleeting.
