Awwwww. I squeed ridiculously at the latkes line. (I have to go watch the whole special again now because I'll never get Please Be Patient out of my head if I don't. "THEY ARE CANDLES!!")
Brilliant mix of "squee, Christmas special!!" and "oh god the horror". I like that Stephen gets to be the hero a bit too, or at least try to. (Poor Stephen. Even when he's being heroic he can't help but make double entendres.) It's so perfectly him. Of course he'd protect Jon, even if it meant freezing to death and probably getting eaten by a bear.
Speaking of winter horror - have you heard Cold, Cold Christmas? I listened to it for the first time after reading your previous fic and laughed for five minutes at "Now I'm numb inside / 'Cos a part of me's died". I'm a very sick person.
(On a total tangent: when you mentioned the smell of burning resin I instantly thought of this. Camphor wood?)
