Notes: You don't have to have read the others in my Traditions universe, although of course I'd love it if you did. Sam's been home since about September, and has shacked up with Al – at first to get his memories in tow, but as they shared their mutual attraction for each other, it became more permanent.

I started this series in 2001, and I had this story as a WIP (up until Ziggy's comment about the security cameras) and had stopped it, not knowing where I was going with it. It was a combination of Jen Rossman doing a live tweet rewatch of the original series on Twitter and J.D. Rush posting her latest Harmony stories that caused Sam to start talking to me again. But since the Traditions series was originally written in 2001, I have these set in the early 2000s.

Thanks to JD Rush and AngelWithInk for the beta and help with writing.

Gift for mgraylorn, since their latest QL story is also partially responsible for this getting finished.

And yes: Angelo's is blatantly stolen from BBC Sherlock. If it bothers you that badly, assume that BBC Sherlock's Angelo has a younger lookalike twin cousin who moved to New Mexico and started up his own restaurant there. ;-)

Al's outfit for Valentine's Day can be seen here.

Al's car (Headcanon that we all give Al our dream car at least once. This is my turn.) can be seen here. 

Sam's gift to Al: can be seen here.

“The Twelve Days of Christmas” is a carol from 1780 and thought to be French in origin. (Thanks, Wikipedia!) It, of course, covers the eponymous days, which start Christmas day and are said to be the days it took the Wise Men to get to Jesus with their unusual baby shower gifts. And while the cumulative nature of the song was probably some 1700 way of keeping a song going, in 2017 it just means the song tends to get old, fast.
