Get Me Through December by Natalie MacMaster
Dedicated to certifiable men, whose arms are the best place for seeking warmth, finding comfort, rage fests, and naked truths. 😉
Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx, New York
The silence of the cemetery was deafening, as if somehow even the usually bustling ol’ New York knew better than to encroach on these sacred grounds.
With lips tinged in bruised blue and chattering teeth, she watched icy flakes swirled from behind heavy gray curtains before it joined the wind in a waltz across denude branches. Winter had began her reign.
The gnawing chill crept under her clothes, sinking into shivering flesh until it permeated bones. Wrapping the frayed coat tighter across her chest, she sank to the ground.
There were no flowers to cheer the snow covered gravestones. An unbroken wasteland of white, suitably bleak for a lone observance.
She turned twenty-one today.
Would they be proud of the woman she’d become? She didn’t have any answers, nor anyone to ask. They’d been gone from her life for so many years now- memories of them, especially of her mother were dimmed- wrapped in hazy flashes of snowy mornings, gentle arms and goodnight kisses.
Silent tears slid down her frozen cheeks as she huddled against cold stones, despairing and yearning for connection. Fiercely, she wiped at the wet trails, but the pain was suddenly unbearable, kicking viciously at her breastbone. She shut her eyes, heaving in one ragged breath after another as frost twined her isolation.
Fighting exhaustion, she lifted her head, blinking against the heavy lace veil bestowed upon her lashes; her slight frame jerked in surprise as she took in the silhouette of an unexpected companion.
Captivated by the warm hue, Khushi reached out, curling stiff fingers around the red umbrella.
Hey K bunny bunny… How r u?
How are you so fast Ker Ker?! I’m good, chasing the clock these last few weeks, but adjusting to the new rhythm. 😉 How are you sweetie?
You know I’m always on point when it comes to you gals😉😉.. Glad you’re OK hun☺all is well so far just missing our crazy adventures over here 😄… Love the prologue can’t wait to see the rest unfold yeah🤗🤗
P. S I started watching ALA over the weekend and I’m hook damn lol, but there’s no other like arshi. They’re still #1 in my book❤❤😘
P. S. S… Take care n keep safe 😘.. Say hi to S for me🙂
Heh heh and what are your thoughts on our pretty Merman Murat? 😉
I know! Last year was so short on adventures it should be a crime. We are really really hoping for a more exciting year. Keep those fingers crossed!
S will join us next week, that is if she manage to tear herself away from some hunky arms. Ahem! 😛
Murat yummy delicious Murat 😍💋❤
You know if you even update on this blog once a year, I’ll still be here. I know you gals will never leave us high and dry, and if so be the cast there’s always a reason behind it. Ride or die.. Ride or die👍👍😄😄
Hmm S? Hunky arms yeah💪💪😉😉.. You go girl lol😜😏
Oh Ker Ker, if we updated once a year, it’ll be us on burning in your first gif 😛
Have you been watching Sons of Anarchy? Cause ride or die is very MCish.
Fallen for the pretty merman have you? Excellent!
And yes, those hunky arms are so warm and inviting, it was tough to tear myself away. 😀
Hey S darling, how hart thou🤗😄. I bet you’re doing fanfuckingtastic with those hunky arms💪😄😉😉…

TOLD YOU I WAS STALKING 😂😂
SHIT. GUYS. I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED. YOU’RE BACK!!!! This is going to be so much fun! We’re going to start all over again! Yayayayayayaaya
My excitement is all over the plaaaceee
Excitement is good, will aid you through some major Refresh Hells ahead. =p
HEE, why not go rope us some new unsuspecting souls? It’s been a while since we’ve thrown a midnight party. 😀
Happiness is
When you get an email from fwn makers
Will be back.
Have you gals been feeling neglected? 😛
Ofc! How did you know???😂😂
Looking forward to this new FWN. 😚
All those disgruntled mutterings echoed 😉
Aww shucks, they’ve missed us K. :p
Hey guys … so glad to have u back … i hope this will be as awesome as FWN … god knows how many times ive read and re read that one … it still has the ability to hook me all over again …
Hope u guys r doing great and wish u all the best in this new year
This is most aptly a reshuffle of the story, so I think we’re on safe grounds. 😉
Yay, looking forward to this with immense anticipation.
Happy New Year.
Us too. 😀
The noon couldn’t have brought a better message!
That gif looks a 3D spectacle to me. Never touched snow, but this should, for now.
Melancholy rules so starkly in the scene. She says there are no flowers to paint colour on the white sheets that cover the gravestone, but maybe the white itself is offering all of what it is, grieving as she does.
Darling, prepare yourself for some visual feasts ahead as we’ve decided to amp up the voltage! 😉
Also, how could you not share you’ve taken dips into the midnight inkwell?! Congrats on your blog (I took a little peek) looking forward to a lazy afternoon to partake in what promise to be some seriously delicious delicacies.
Your visual feasts are like no other. I swear it by my heart. And if I’m not wrong, you’ve inspired storytellers to please and draw in through visuals as much as you do by words.
Ah, that was just a little space I made because I was curious to know the workings of a blog. Sort of my own playground to want to know how it comes up the way it does. Didn’t stay that way too long though.
And there’s so so much better out there that deserves the pleasure of your indulgence. I’m honoured, really.
The Pen is a ferociously greedy bitch, welcoming to the Bleeding Sisterhood Niv! 😀
This time I will start the journey of FWN’s from the beginning. I’m so excited that you guys and FWN are back. Cheers to old beginnings in new style🍻!!!
We are humbled that there are still dwellers in the rabbit hole after our long hiatus. As long as there’s good company to be had, we’ll find a way back to the midnight pen. 😉
Beginning of a beautiful journey – revisited 🙂 i finished the first fWN just yesterday and that too in one go – so waiting for new chapters feels so much more exciting 😀 i had missed that charm of anticipation earlier! Looking forward to being part of the adventure called Arnav and Khushi!
Welcome! Hahaha you won’t be using charm and anticipation in the same breath once you become acquainted with our special brand of Refresh Hell. =p But for the brave of soul, we aim to deliver as much excitement as you can devour 😉
Fuck yeah babes, time to party!
These are not tears dammit! I’m just so damn happy to see you two writing again.
https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif
Don’t leave again okay? Quick, pinky promise!
My feelings are mixed on ghostly hugs, perhaps more should be sent my way.
We didn’t leave love, just hermitted for extended periods. 😛
I am so excited… This has finally begun..
and i am being a part of this from the very first update…! *happy dance*
Khushi in that storm… engulfed with the loneliness…near the cemetry of her dear ones.. lost forever…!!
(Now i know how she got the red umberella )
Great start.. eagerly waiting for the coming chapters.. plz continuee soon…
love love ladies 😘😘😘😘😘
FWN in my inbox!! You made my day! <3
Yay!! Finally it’s starting! Looking forward to this journey…again..
Welcome back and a very happy new year. I am very eager to start this journey once again.
Hi there
I m sooo excited for this journey
And it’s like enjoying your favourite treat again and getting to enjoy it even more ❤️❤️
Happy new year girls
And also u girls have made me love Hayat and Murat too ..soo I waiting for the one shots with Arnav and khushi ☺️☺️
Murat or Arnav? 😀
Hmm…that’s a tough choice ..
But Arnav..I think will win ..if I had to choose 🙈🙈😉
And you are back with your amazing writing. The melancholy is palpable.
What can I say? I have fallen in love with your writing.
I am so excited to join the FWN journey from the beginning! 😁
It’ll be good to see Arnav winking at us throughout the journey 😉
Yayyyyyyy!!!💃🏻
Soo veryyy exciteddd to be a part of this wonderful story
Cant wait for the it to get started alreadyy!
Ahhh the red umbrella.. how I missed it..
so here comes the begining.. this is where she first came to meet a member of her ultimate family right?
Is this new part or did i miss it in first reading..
needless to say waiting for more 🙂
The Special Edition is our chance to expand, edit and revise many parts of FWN. Think of them as sisters, sharing the same genetic makeup with their own personalities. 😀
The short yet insightful prologue managed to capture my utmost attention towards desperation and pain which was evident in the very soul of this desolate twenty one year old woman.Like the character who looks forward to meeting the unexpected companion, I am also very much looking forward to this story.
Loved the prologue and excited about the coming update. 🙂
And yes, her pain is wrenching isn’t it? Life is such a roller coasters with it’s ups and downs, we’re excited to experience it with you guys.
Omg finally..
FWN 😍😍💟💟
So very happy to see you guys writing again.
What a raw beginning but so beautiful <3
Raven girl! Exams went smoothly I trust?
Not as smoothly I had hoped. But I plan to crush the coming ones 😀
Heya…..
When I saw a mail from u I thought it’s for FWN.(I’m yet to read that one, still new around here). I guess this is a new story from you. Nevertheless I’m so glad I got a glimpse of it.
Coming to the story…..whoa…..first time to read your writing….blown away…..I always appreciate a writer who is in detail while explaining….trust this is going to be a one big joy ride….yay….thank you and waiting for the next…..
Not a new story, but newish 😉 This is the start to FWN’s Special Edition.
Hello.. so u finally started.. i found your place via jigs.. & read all your pieces.. even drop a msg.. there i saw u r starting this new one.. liked d images attached.. they r intriguing.. so here i m.. from your previous works which i have read, this journey also looks interesting.. looking forward to this till d end.. all d best..
Nice prologue!!! This is the scene with Anjali isn’t it?
Shhhh… no spoilers! 😛
Awesome prologue………..can’t wait to read the story………….
Happy and excited to see u writing again. As expected, prologue was awesome and I can’t wait to read the whole story.
Another story from you and I am already hooked.
The quote about certifiable men is pretty awesome !! Many amongst are lucky to have them and vice Versa !!
The prologue while familiar still brings forth a great sense of excitement … With the snow that lay last night here one can actually feel the cold but what cuts through me more is the grave without any flowers .. Life so unappreciated in death .. Yet most likely the most beautiful thing that graced the life of khushis mother is Khushi herself .. Xxx
Exactly! This is the feeling we wish to evoke in our long time readers, there will be some rather interesting alterations to the familiar and hopefully that’ll make this second foray into the labyrinth an interesting one.
Happy to read the story from begining.
Thanks for the special edition.
Missed FWN the first time round … so happy to be here from the beginning 😍
Can’t wait to read more of this story …

Looking forward to where you take this.
Can you grant me acess to the epilogues please ?
OMG… It is so thrilling. I had chills and shivers all around my body. I cant wait to start the best journey of my life.
I Don’t thinks its appropriate. But if you could grant me access to the epilogues of FWN. I would really appreciate it
We’ve been stingy with Lounge invites after so many rounds of plagiarism, but we do take note of those who are active in the peanut gallery and will open our doors accordingly 🙂
Hey …OMG you are here with a Prologue. Red Umberlla, cemetry.. Very Excited for the journey guys. Gif catchy, so looking forward to this new adventure …. YAY

-Preksha
We love getting to know our readers so don’t be a stranger 😀
Hey…this is familiar. Missed the conversation trail is this new version of FWN ?
Yes, this is the beginning of the Special Edition
Ahhhh!!!! I love that you’re back with a new look of the same fabulous story. I think I’ve read FWN about 3 times. Having read the entire story and not finding any flaws, not sure what you’re changing but looking forward to this exciting journey!
Trying to be better at commenting this time around! Hopefully will be lucky enough to get access to the outtakes and epilogue the 2nd time around. I know I need to work for it…and promise to try.
Thanks!
While we feel good about FWN, there were so many small moments we wanted to add (and take away), some passages that would get us behind bars with the Grammar Police and character moments we felt weren’t given full justice. So this is the chance to do just that. And it’s a delight to know that you’re joining us verbally this round 😉
Humko aaj Kal Hai intezaar. .koi aaye leke pyaar…;) glad to see u guys back here…all set to sizzle I see….
Kyun Mehka Hai Yeh Gajra
Kya Kehta Hai Yeh Kajra
Tu Sapnon Mein Khoyi Hai Kyun

Archna
The original and the special edition are like sisters, we look forward to see which version takes up the most space in your heart chambers 😉
Sweethearts, tell me, what is it with both of you and the month of December and the color red!! Them bone chilling temps of teens and twenties freeze everything they touch but somehow they get your creative juices and the oh so precious ink flowing!! 😀 Winter coats the Big Apple in a white sheen and you come up with a fairy tale that pierces the heart and makes an indelible mark on the soul – straight up. Muaah <3
Happy New Year my Capt and Prof. Eagerly awaiting this nippy HEA (It will be a HEA, right … :P)
And now my own personal Certifiable is waiting for me on the balcony with a hot cuppa. Before he yells, "Another story??? …. really??? ;-), I think I should make my way to him. He already is extremely jealous of my tablet, you know. 🙂
Priya! It is warming to know we have not been forgotten by one of our favorite people 😛
The cold is so much more… invigorating don’t you think?
And this can’t be classify as new, but newish as it’s our Special Edition of FWN.
Although Hubby should prepare to be out of a cuddle partner in the coming nights. 😉
Hey, I ain’t forgetting you , ever!! 😙I might be away for a while, cos, you know ….. life happens …. 🙄But I will always be back. And as my reward for being your ardent fan, I want a signed copy of the first book of yours that gets published. 😉
As for FWN-The Special Edition, bring it on!!! Have been missing my pony-tailed Parrot 😙
YES YES YES
I AM SO EXCITED
I CSNT WAIT

I remember the red umbrella from previous FWN.
Who is thr companion?

Nice prologue! The first meeting between Khushi and Anjali in the prologue rather then a flashback compare to the original.
So glad to see you ladies at a good place in life.. that you can come back and give us these juicy morsels and keep the Arnav Khushi saga alive <3 .
Especially now that I can not keep going back to hotstar and watch IPKKND episodes!!!! They stopped airing them in the US !!…
Oh well tight squeeze from me to you both !!!!
The red umbrella.. a splash of color in a dismal landscape. Your writing is my red umbrella on rainy days.
Love,
Anna

Lovely website hoping to read more
Hi Guys, hope ur
planning to continue this…
what can we do to persuade you to give us this awesome story (im sure its awesome) ? 😀
I don’t know if you authors still visit here, going by the comments I have seen. I just wanted to drop a line since I stumbled upon this purely by accident and loved the prologue so far. Also the graphics. How do you do it?
Loved the prologue.
To be frank I haven’t read ur till date, hopefully I can read ur earlier work, if it still open.
Just got know about ur blog,
Thank u
At the threshold of another new year, I had a sudden, unquenchable hankering for these New Yorkers. I miss these people and you both terribly, S and K!! Where are you, guys??? At least throw us a morsel to nibble on! Leave a note, please?
Lastly, Happy New Year, everyone!!! May we get to embark on many journeys like this together and have many many opportunities to fangirl over our favourite couple!
so its the start , i am looking forward
Great start 🙂
Just started the journey and my heart is already clenching …
Awesome start. Worried already for poor Khushi.
Awesome start. I always love the pictures that u use to convey the msg.
Would love to read FWN ❤️❤️
Ah so creepy whose looking at her. My heart went out to the girl at the grave whose craving the love lost so long ago.
heart warming prologue… No individual should have to spend their 21st birthday like this… I hope the stranger is kind enough to lend some warmth to a broken soul
So beautiful! Just turned 21 Khushi goes to meet her parents. It’s hurts to see her like this, all alone. Wonder who the kind stranger is. Arnav?
You write beautifully n with so much precision n details. Love it. Finally going to read Chapter 1
Just started to read your story. Great start.
Reading this again. Why? Life sucks right now. And this is my means of escape. At least in this world I can see a happy ending that is a surety, which is something I can’t say for mine. But after I let my hair down and dip my feet in this pool of serenity I’ll be back on the grind. So thanks to the both of you for providing me with an oasis in which I can just cool off. Because I’m going to be the one to create my own happy ending.
Has the suckage eased up? Happy endings must be earned or if you’re pirate-like SEIZED!
Go after that bitch, I’m rooting for you 😀
Thanks S! No, the suckage has not eased up yet lol but I’m not giving up.
Found out about this from your Ficverse! Never got a chance to dive in though. Never had the pleasure of reading your work, this is the first I think.
Your words themselves are a ‘visual’ treat, I close my eyes and I can picture the broken, grieving girl celebrating her birthday at her parents’ gravestone. The ‘snowing’ blog is the cherry on the top. So looking forward to read the next.
Wow-so I binged read this all of last weekend, now gonna re read it and savor it rightly as it deserves!!!
Great start… look fed to reading more
So now back to reading the story once again for another round .
Prologue gives an introduction of a girl who is not sure about her present status .
The prologue gives a picture of girl who lost her identity .
It has throughly intrigued me to look forward again for the next part .
Hey very emotional starting . Why khushi is lonely. Who is that unexpected companion .
Definitely intriguing and enticing enough to make one want to read the chapters. So I’m heading off. Thanks ladies!!
Beautiful sad A lovely start. Dying to read more.
Just found the story. Khushi turned 21 but she has no one to call her own. Off to read her story and also the story of her unexpected companion.
Cheers……..
21 and missing her parents. Sad time for Khushi in snowy winter day.
interesting start
Hi please allow me access to y9ur story . Thank you.
Loved the way you have so beautifully described khushi’s state of mind.. it is so well written that I can visually imagine the scene…
This is one of m favorite stories on ArShi.. so many strong and defined characters. They still feel so real. Maybe that’s y wen I thought of re-reading an ArShi for, this popped in my mind. It’s going o be a great journey for me for a couple of days with FWN.. Thank you guys once again for this amazing story..
Hey there!
Hi from a newbie.
Came here from ficverse recommendations to experience the chemistry everyone mentions.
Don’t know if you guyz still grant access but if you do then we will be connected by unbreakable vow.😆
And if you decide not to then I will wait for your new work to be present from start to woo you guyz😁😁
And this prologue…..
Got a glimpse of Khushi and my heroine is crying that also on her birthday😩
Hope and wish to meet Arnav and eventually ArShi.
P.S. your one access can make someone on this side very happyyy. ( Pouting with puppy face and one lip tucked out)
Hi ShipperK…Prologue is so good….Kushi is an orphan?…crying on her birthday? Felt so sad for her ..Eagerly waiting for our Arnav to notice her and help her out of her misery….
Hi…started reading your stories recent. Read the os and ss which were available. Nice start. So khushi is an orphan and it’s her birthday. But she is alone. Hope the companion is arnav. Waiting for more.

Thank you so much for opening up this story. Have been waiting for ages. Looking forward to a fantastic journey into Arshi world
This is absolutely amazing. Can’t believe I used my dead wordpress account from years ago to read this masterpiece!!
An absolute amazing story from u waiting to start this journey with u again thanks for opening it again khushi has turned 21 and there is no one to celebrate with her
Perfect winter reading on my list now.
Read the outtakes first, but no matter. It will all fall into place I am sure.
Catching up on the chapters, from 1 onwards.
Better hurry to finish before spring sneaks up on us 😛
Went back to the beginning, the trailer, cast, music and now starting Chapter 1.
Lovely prologue…. got to be sad not having anyone with you on your special day… but I am sure things will change for the better soon
…whose arms are the best place for seeking warmth, finding comfort…and naked truths. And you had me at that…
Just came across this story… poor khushi all alone😌
Hi
I started the IPK journey last year, and the FF universe has pulled me in irrevocably. Ficverse is an absolute treasure trove of brilliant writing and extremely talented authors. FWN has been on the top of my list for the last few months. Thank you for opening up your blog.
The Aman- NK banter had me grinning like a moron with no regrets whatsoever.
It will be a privilege to read your work.
I seen a number of your comments throughout the re-up. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
Hahaha, yeah those two cupids are very dear to us. It was actually hard at times to curb all there yapping. We had to remind ourselves this is an Arshi FF at the end of the day. 😉
I think I once visit here but it was not available or something
….but again here #arshi ❤️
Waited till almost all chapters are posted .. i am an impatient reader and i am glad i get to read all of it in one stretch.. so khushi lost her parents when she was young and now i am wondering if her lips are really bruised or just blue due to cold .. i am sure will find out with in hours or by end of this week max
-Lavanya
Good luck on the marathon read 😉
Completed it all and posted a big consolidated response..i wish to get an invite to the specials soon 🙂
Awesome prologue.Khushi is all alone on her special day sad that she lost her parents
Very good start… like the intro..
Now that was profound. I am a brooder by nature and some of the scenes of stories or movies that touch my heart stay with me for a long long time. Case in point, anyone who remembers the TV series ‘Dallas’ will remember the scene where Bobbie Ewing was shot and the tears and anguish of his wife. Well that has stayed with me all these years. Coming back to IPKKND there are many that I remember at random times, the first one is the iconic one where our hot hero Arnav steps out of the helicopter! Uff what style! Then when Khushi falls into Arnav’s arms, another beautiful scene and I can go on and on. Some parts of show based or AU fanfics written by fabulous writers also tug at my heartstrings from time to time. I don’t want to name them here but they are all a part of the fabulous ficverse, actually I will name one of them, ‘A girl named Khushi’, I cried and cried and even though I have a habit of going back again and again to my fav stories, this is one I could not read again! And now this prologue of FWN will stay with me. Its heart wrenching and also very close to home as both my parents are buried together though 7 years apart. The RED colored umbrella is very symbolic, being the color of blood and fire, strength, courage, determination along with passion, desire, lust and sexuality, romance and joy. And I can bet my last dollar that FWN promises to be that and more, much much more.
Awww sweetheart, come here so I can give you a hug.
It’s never easy to lose someone you love, but especially the two who brought you into this beautiful chaotic world. You’re in my thoughts, thank you for sharing this.
Came here for a second read, nothing like a good binge!
Really liked how you only disclosed who the person was only at the very end, and instead focused on her condition and surroundings. It’s rare to see that in prologues..keeps the anticipation of what’s to come.
Always hurts to see a vulnerable Khushi..and the iconic red makes an entrance.
The prologue’s left me weirdly morose with a chill down my bones. Its summer here, so that’s a testament to the fabulous imagery you have painted! I am hooked. What stays with me is the red umbrella, oddly a touch of color amidst snow and I can imagine how it must look like…to me it looks like a touch of hope!
Got to know from Twitter this blog open.
Thank God !
Now I know what is going to keep me busy this weekend.
Excited to start the story
The last time I read FWN, I was a silent reader.. not this time ❤
So happy this blog is open again!
Loved the words and the feeling they invoked.
P.S. the red umbrella seems to remind me of something here..
Welcome to the rabbit hole 😉
SO happy this blog is open !
The emotions and the words were beautiful..
I’ve literally been seeing loads of people recommend this…. So I can’t wait to read this!!
Can’t tell you how much I have heard of FWN!
Of it’s larger than life appeal and words which will take one’s breathe away. And the prologue was worth more than all my anticipation. Can’t wait to read it all ☺️♥️
Lovely concept 👍
What a prologue! it was certainly a tear-jerker 😦 …no matter how many times I read this story I feel like its the first time!!!!!

I comment on the chapters and it does get submitted too but I do not see any of them on the page, how come :(? Sometimes I put long comments painstakingly but do not see any of them on the page.
