Christmas Carols [Nolan Patrick]

Christmas Carols [Nolan Patrick] 🎄

Description: Nolan doesn't feel the Christmas spirit but Y/N, who lives above him, keeps playing Christmas carols really loud.

Warnings: None

A/N: Day 2 of 12 days of Christmas!

Nolan Patrick is the real life embodiment of the grinch this Christmas. This would be the first Christmas he wouldn't be home with his family because of his career.

Of course he loves hockey, but he also loves his family and wants to spend time with them during the holidays.

He didn't have a tree, or any decorations for that matter. He didn't participate in any normal Christmas traditions. Really the only thing he's done for Christmas was a video with the Flyers media team saying what his favorite Christmas movie was and why.

He hadn't even listened to Christmas music, even Frosty the Snowman, until his upstairs neighbor decided to blast her Christmas carols on a Saturday afternoon.

He kept quiet about it, even though it was annoying him, but she kept blasting it every few days, and after a bad loss, coming home to hear Christmas carols was the last thing he wanted to deal with, but he didn't want to cause issues so he just put his headphones in. With anyone else he would've told them to turn it down, but this is Y/N, his beautiful neighbor/kind of friend/crush. He won't tell her to turn it off.

A week later they bump into each other in the elevator and Nolan brings it up.

"So you seem to really like Christmas music."

Y/N smiles and replies, "Yeah, of course. Who doesn't?" Nolan stays quiet and looks down at his shoes. "You don't like Christmas music? You listened to it last year." Y/N questions.

"Yeah, this year is different though." He replies and starts to fiddle with his duffle bag.

"How so?" Y/N pushes.

"I can't go home because of work, so there's really no reason to celebrate."

Y/N sees the hurt on his face. He really wanted to be with his family.

"Well, how about this, you can celebrate Christmas with me since neither of us can go home this year." She suggests.

Nolan looks up at her and he shakes his head.

"It's ok, I swear. I don't want to intrude, I'll just have to celebrate next year."

"Nolan we've known each other for like three years. You're not intruding." Y/N laughs.

"Seriously, it's ok. I'll just watch some movies and order some takeout." Nolan assures.

The elevator stops on Y/N's floor and they look at each other.

"I won't take no for an answer Nolan." Y/N argues as she steps off of the elevator. "I'll make you stop being your little grinch self." Y/N winks before walking off to her apartment.

Nolan leans against the elevator wall and lets out a deep breath.

§§§

A few days later Nolan is walking into the building with Travis. They had just left practice and decided they wanted to play video games at Nolan's place.

"So Patty, how is Y/N?" Travis asks as they play call of duty.

"She's good. Why?" Nolan glances at Travis' face to see his smirk.

"Just wondering. You avoided the elevator." He replies.

"Uh. Coach says we need to stop being lazy." Nolan mumbles.

"So it doesn't have anything to do with Y/N getting home around this time?"

"No." Nolan croaks. "It's not-. Y/N doesn't-. Damn you Teeks." Nolan sputters, his cheeks burning.

"You like her. She invited you over for Christmas. Go or I'll kick your ass."

§§§

Nolan walks into the lobby coming in from Philadelphia's cold, snowy weather. It's the day before Christmas Eve and today was their last day of practice until the day after Christmas.

After brushing his hair out of his face he looks up to see Y/N standing at the front desk waiting for her mail. She turns her head to see Nolan standing there and waves at him. He walks over to the desk and asks for his mail as well.

"So, Christmas."

"Your place or mine?" Nolan asks.

"Be at my place at one. Don't worry about bringing anything." She says as she grabs her mail.

"You sure?"

"Just bring yourself Nol." She smiles before walking to the elevator.

§§§

Nolan switches the hand the bag is in before knocking on her door.

He knew she said not to bring anything but he didn't feel right so he got her a gift. With Travis' help.

The door opens and Y/N smiles at him.

"Hey, come in!"

Nolan walks into the apartment and looks around.

It looks like a Christmas bomb went off.

"I like your decorations."

"Thanks! I about broke my neck climbing up on a ladder to put the star on top of my tree." She chuckles.

"I brought you something as a thank you for letting me spend today with you."

"You didn't have to Nolan. If anything you're doing me a favor. Making me feel like less of a loner."

"You're not a loner. You know Travis, Carter and I love spending time with you."

"Yeah but I'm just the girl you guys hang out with sometimes." Y/N replies. "Anyway, I got you something too." She goes into the living room and grabs a box. "Open it, I might slip up if you don't open it now." Her bright eyes made Nolan's heart melt. Maybe this would turn out an ok Christmas.

"Only if you open yours first."

Over Time [Ethan Dolan] 🎄

Description: Ethan and Y/N are co-workers, but they barely know each other. But they both have to work through the holidays.

Warnings: Cursing.

A/N: Day 7 of 12 Days of Christmas!

This happened every year. Y/N's boss insisted on staying open on Christmas Day, so without fail, every year since she started working at Jeff's Coffee House; she got stuck working Christmas Day.

"So Y/N, you and Ethan are working Christmas Day. You guys need to be here at five in the morning to open at six." Jeff says as he approaches her the week before.

Y/N stops making another batch of cookies and turns to him. "Jeff, I've worked every Christmas Day since I've started working here." Y/N informs him.

"Well everyone else is busy or out of town." Jeff replies.

"My family is going to New York to spend Christmas with my grandparents. I was supposed to go, again." She argues.

"You never told me about that!" Jeff yells.

"Yes. I did. I put it on your calendar and I put a reminder on your desk on December first." She lets out an exasperated sigh. "If you want the store open on Christmas Day so damn bad, why don't you cover it yourself?!" She asks, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Now you're working open to close on Christmas Eve. You either show up or I'm firing you." Jeff threatens before turning and leaving.

What she really wanted to do was tell him to fuck off and quit right then and there, but she really needs this job, so she kept her mouth shut.

As she started the batch of cookies again she realized that he had said she's working with Ethan, the new guy. Great, he has a whole day to hit on her like the others do.

§§§

Christmas Eve was a mess, just like Christmas Day would be. Every other store is closed so everyone comes to Jeff's.

Y/N arrived ten minutes before she needed to be there, because it had snowed, so she needed to shovel the sidewalk and she had to preheat ovens. She clocked in, turned all of the lights on, preheated the ovens and pulled out everything that was prepared the night before so she could just throw it in. Then she went outside to shovel and salt everything so no one fell.

By time she got inside it was five fifteen and she realized Ethan still wasn't there. She didn't really know much about him. Just that he started a few weeks earlier and that he is around her age. She's never worked with him before, so she didn't even know what he looked like.

§§§

She was in the back at six pulling the last batch of cookies out and putting them aside to cool when the employee door opened. A guy, Ethan, she assumed walked in out of breath. He took his hat off and stomped the snow off of his shoes.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. I slid off the road and I tried to get ahold of Jeff to have him tell you I'd be late because I didn't have any way to contact you but he didn't answer his fucking phone." He rambles. "I swear I'm normally not like this." He finishes.

"It's ok. It happens." Y/N chuckles. "And just a piece of advice, don't go to Jeff about anything. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself and his money." Y/N grabs a sticky note, writes her number down and hands it to him.

"You're kind of a pro here aren't you?" Ethan asks as he grabs the sticky note out of her hand.

"Yeah, I'm a manager and I've dealt with his shit for four years. He's made me work every Christmas Day since I've started here and yesterday I had to work open to close because I pissed him off when I called him out on it." Y/N says as she turns the tv in to watch a movie.

"He seemed nice when I interviewed and for a week after but here lately he's been a douchebag." Ethan says as he puts the food in the cases along the front counter.

"Yeah he does that with everyone. You just have to learn not to listen to his bullshit and how to defend yourself." Y/N says as she grabs a piece of paper to doodle on.

"So this may sound stupid, but is it normally busy in Christmas Days?" Ethan asks as he comes up beside her.

Y/N looks up at the clock. "Not until elevenish or noon. And it's pretty steady after."

"Well I'm glad my first Christmas Day here is with you. You seem like a great person." He compliments.

"Thank you. I'm glad I get to spend my Christmas Day with you and not by myself. Normally the other person calls off."

"I wouldn't leave you here by yourself."

§§§

After a hectic day they closed up and walked to their cars.

"Merry Christmas, Ethan." Y/N says before getting in her car.

"Merry Christmas, Y/N."

Home For Christmas [Grayson Dolan] 🎄

Description: Grayson's ex will be at the Christmas party he is attending. Y/N pretends to be Grayson’s fiancé.

Warnings: Cursing, cheating ex?

A/N Day 10 of 12 Days of Christmas!

Grayson immediately panicked when he heard that Giselle was going to the Christmas party. And who does he call when he panics?

Well, Ethan, but Ethan couldn't help him this time.

He called Y/N, the twins best friend.

"Gray. I just got in bed, and we just got off the phone like forty-five minutes ago." She whines.

"Y/N/N this is important!" He exclaims. "Giselle is going to the Christmas party!"

"How'd you not know that? She goes every year when she can." She wonders.

"That's not important! Do you not remember what I told her when we broke up?"

"Yeah I remember your dumbass saying "Oh I'll have a girlfriend the next time you see me and then you'll realize what you lost.". Is that what you're talking about?" Y/N asks sarcastically. "Not that I don't agree with the last part." She adds.

"Yes." Grayson sighs. "I know it was dumb, but I need you to do something for me."

"Like what?"

"I need you to pretend to be my fiancé."

"You're joking right?"

§§§

The twins, Y/N and Ethans fiancé, Noel, had all flown to Jersey to spend Christmas with the twins family.

Grayson had bought a engagement ring and gave it to Y/N after explaining the situation to Ethan and Noel, who both thought Grayson was insane.

"So how are we going to explain this to the rest of your family?" Y/N asks as they get out of the car to get their bags and bring them inside.

"Well they all already know I like you so they won't question that." Grayson says nonchalantly before going inside, leaving Y/N standing there in shock.

§§§

"I can't believe you're going to marry my baby! Oh I'm so happy!" Lisa exclaims while bear hugging Y/N.

She had seen the ring on Y/N's finger during Christmas Eve dinner and questioned her, but Grayson explained before she could.

"Congratulations! We were all waiting for this to happen." Cameron says.

See, that's the thing. With Grayson's comment the day before, they still hadn't had time to talk about it, and Y/N was still wondering what exactly he meant, but with the way his family is acting, she's getting really confused.

He's never seemed to have those feelings before now.

§§§

Grayson walks into the living room the next morning with a cup of coffee for Y/N,  just how she likes it and sits in the rocking chair before pulling her down in his lap.

Y/N was about to lose her mind. He acted like this was totally normal. Could he not see how confused she was?

They still hadn't had time to talk about it, because they couldn't get any time alone. There was either always family around or Grayson was busy doing "man" things with Ethan.

She planned to finally talk to him about it while they were getting ready for the party after they were done with presents.

"You guys excited for the Christmas Party?" Lisa asks.

"Yeah, it will be great." Grayson says and smiles up at Y/N.

"Yeah, it will be fun."

§§§

"Gray, I have a few questions." Y/N starts as she brushes her hair out.

"Yeah?"

"The other day when we got here, you said that your family already knew that you like me. What does that mean?" She asks as she watches him do his hair.

"Well, I've always had feelings for you Y/N. I thought you already knew that?" Grayson looks at her through the mirror with a confused expression, just like hers.

"You seriously think that you would have dated that cheating bitch if I knew you had feelings for me too?"

"You have feelings for me too?"

"Yes, you idiot!" Y/N chuckles.

Grayson was going to respond, but Ethan knocked on the door.

"Guys it's time to go!"

They both look at each other.

"We'll talk more later?" Grayson asks. Y/N nods and opens the door, finally feeling a weight lifted off of her shoulders.

§§§

At the party Grayson searched the room for his ex, but didn't see her.

"So where's Giselle?" Y/N asks as she wraps her hand around his bicep.

"I'm not sure. Her parents are here." He nods to the older couple across the room.

"She can't be too far then, unless she actually isn't coming." Y/N says.

"Yeah, I'd be ok with that though."

The party was great. Y/N and Grayson danced, ate, drank, took pictures with family and friends and played some games.

It felt right. Like she is supposed to be by Grayson's side and seeing just how happy everyone is about their "engagement" made her wish it was real.

They had said their goodbyes and went back to Lisa's house around ten at night, but Grayson and Y/N weren't ready to go to sleep.

"Let's go ice skate." Grayson says as he pulls out two pairs of skates. His and a pair for Y/N he had gotten specifically for their rink.

Y/N nods and follows Grayson outside. They put their skates on in silence, but once they get on the ice, they start to talk.

"It feels nice being here with you and the rest of your family, not just as your friend, even if it isn't real."

"It could be real. If you wanted it to be." Grayson says quietly as he gets closer to her.

"Us being together, or engaged?"

"How about both? I know you've been ready to settle down, and so have I. We know each other inside and out." Grayson pulls her close to him, engulfing her in his arms.

"I don't want you to settle for me though. If there is some girl that could make you really happy I want you to be with her." Y/N says as she looks into his eyes.

"The only woman who can make me really happy, in that way, is you." He admits.

"Are you sure?"

"Are you sure?" Grayson counters. Y/N nods. "So will you let me bring you home for Christmas every year?" He leans in.

"Of course." Y/N presses her lips to his and wraps her arms around him as best as she can.

When they finally let go of each other, Grayson smiles at her.

"I love you Y/N."

"I love you too Gray."

Surfing Baby [Dean ‘Deano’ Gladstone

Description: Dean and Y/N take their son surfing for the first time.

Warnings: None!

A/N: This is dedicated to @tinysangel I finally got around to writing for Deano!

"I’ve got it sweetheart!" Dean yells back down.

He finishes packing up the bag and goes back downstairs where Y/N and Jack are in the kitchen. Y/N is packing food and drinks for later while Jack munches on some fruit. Deano puts the bag down on a chair and goes up to his son.

"Alright, you ready to get cleaned up so we can go to the beach?" He asks Jack.

"Yes daddy! Can we go see Uncle Harries?" Jack asks as he gets down from the stool and goes over to the sink to wash his hands.

"Yeah, I’m sure Uncle Harries would love to see his little Jackie." Y/N replies as she finishes putting the rest of their drinks in the cooler.

"Ok, let’s finish cleaning up and then we will get in the car."

§§§

After going to see Harries, Maxi, Whippet, Yatesy and Kerrbox, Jack and Deano were finally getting in the water.

"Alright bud, you’re going to get in front of daddy and I’ll show you what do before you try, ok?" Jack nods and continues to help, or at least try to, paddle out.

Deano wasn’t taking him out too far, knowing Y/N would be upset if he did, but he did take him past where the other kids would stop.

"Now we’ve got to watch for a wave, and make sure we don’t get in the head by a surprise one." Deano explained. After a few minutes of waiting, a wave finally popped up. "Start paddling Jack!"

They start paddling and get to where they can stand up. Deano stands up and pulls Jack up with him. He holds on to Jacks wetsuit and helps him stay steady while they ride the wave in.

While they were out in the water, Y/N was recording them. She wanted to be able to show Jack the first time he ever surfed when he grew up, so she made sure it was a decent video. She cheered for Jack when they got up and she was sure you’d be able to hear her proud screams in the video.

"Mommy! Mommy! I did it! Did you see?" Jack ran out of the water and to his mom. Y/N squatted down to his level and opened her arms.

"Yes baby! I saw! I’m so, so proud of you!" She presses kisses all over Jacks face and he giggles and squirms.

"I want to go again!"

§§§

After another two hours of surfing the beach was starting to empty out, so Maxi decided he wanted to take Jack out for a bit, which Deano and Y/N quickly agreed to, knowing that they could trust Maxi and that they could take a break.

"Look at him, he’s such a little pro!" Deano exclaimed from his spot on the sand beside Y/N.

"Isn’t he? Just like his father." Y/N smiles at her husband and Deano presses a quick kiss to her lips.

"I love him, and you. Life is perfect." Deano sighs.

"I love you both too, but I think I know how to make life a bit more perfect." Y/N says. She looks at their intertwined hands and back up to Deano's curious eyes.

"How?"

"Adding to the family?" Y/N smiles.

"You, you’re pregnant?!" Deano exclaims happily.

"Yeah! I found out yesterday!" Y/N cries.

Deano pulls her into a tight hug, kissing her forehead.

"I love you so much." He whispers. "I can’t believe we’re going to have another baby!"

"We’re going to have another surfing baby."

Broken Hearts Club [Kelly Severide]

Description: Kelly Severide has made Y/N an official member of the Broken Hearts Club.

Warnings: Cheating, Cursing (are we surprised? no. ok.)

Y/N and Kelly had been dating for a year before Stella Kidd showed up. Stella was a absolute goddess. Beautiful hair, perfect smile, amazing personality and excellent firefighter skills. What was there not to love? Kelly obviously took notice of her, and even started to hang out with her instead of his girlfriend.

Y/N thought it might've been because she was new, and she was a firefighter, instead of a paramedic like Y/N, so they had plenty in common, but when Kelly started canceling on Y/N she grew suspicious.

Gabby and Y/N had gone out for drinks one night after they got off work. Gabby had a falling out with Matt, and she was currently staying with Y/N, so they figured they’d go get dinner and drinks together. Y/N was supposed to have dinner with Kelly, but of course, he canceled last minute.

"I heard Ambo 52 had a guy with a python biting his arm and it wrapped around his arm. Kristy and Zach were too afraid to touch the snake." Gabby says as they walk down the sidewalk. Y/N briefly chuckles at the story before going back to her somber mood. Gabby turns her head towards Y/N and her heart breaks for her. She knew how much Y/N loved Kelly, but she also knew how much of an asshole he'd been the past two months. "Hey, why don't we stop by and see Severide. He said he had to help Kidd with something at Molly's right?" Y/N nods.

"Yeah. Something about fixing the wall and shelves, or hanging shelves on the wall? I'm not sure. The phone call only lasted like forty seconds."

"Then let's go." Gabby says and loops her arm with Y/N's before heading towards Molly's.

§§§

Once they make it to the bar, they say hello to everyone they know before heading over to Otis.

"Hey Otis." Y/N says.

"Hey guys, what's up." He replies as he cleans a glass.

"We stopped by to see Severide, any idea where he is?" Gabby asks as she sits on a barstool.

"He should be in the back putting up a shelf. He asked Stella to hold it up for him." Otis says and nods his head to the back room. Y/N nods.

"Ok, can I have four beers?" She passes him a twenty dollar bill and Otis grabs four beers for her. "I'm going to take one to Kelly and Stella. I'll be back." Y/N grabs two beers and starts walking to the back.

She enters the hallway and notices that she can't hear any voices, or tools. She thought they might be concentrating, trying to get the shelf level, or they aren't even back there.

She couldn't have been any more wrong.

She steps in the open doorway and looks at the sight in front of her. Kelly has Stella pinned up against the wall, their lips pressed together. Once her head catches up with her eyes, she drops the beers and gasps. Stella pulls away and catches Y/N's eyes.

"Kel-Kelly." By time he pulled away, Y/N had already turned around and started towards the bar. She grabs the beer she ordered and walks out the door before anyone can ask her anything.

Kelly runs down the hall and meets Gabby and Otis' confused faces. When Gabby sees Kelly's appearance she immediately knows what's going on.

"Where'd she go?" Kelly asks. Gabby stands up and moves in his way.

"Just stop. I think you've done enough." Then Gabby grabs her beer and follows Y/N out the door.

Kelly watches as the door slams shut. He knew he fucked up when he saw the look on Gabby's face.

"Damnit!" He yells and kicks a barstool before turning back and going down the hall.

§§§

Gabby sat down next to Y/N on the curb. She took one look at her eyes and immediately knew how much this has hurt her. Mentally and emotionally. They sit there in silence while tears roll down Y/N's face.

"I thought he loved me." Y/N sobs. Gabby wraps her arm around Y/N and lets her lean her head on her shoulder.

Welcome to the Broken Hearts Club Y/N.

Summers End [Jake Nolan]

Description: The morning after the last day of the lifeguards season includes food, back rubs, paddle boarding, kisses and cuddles.

Warnings: PURE CUTENESS. I don’t remember any cussing but it is a given by now. 

The bright morning light breaks through the cracks in the curtains, and hits Y/N right in the face, making her open her eyes.

"Ugh. Nope." Then she squeezes her eyes shut.

A light chuckle from underneath her makes her eyes open again.

"Poor baby." Jake says, his voice deeper from sleeping.

"What time is it?" Y/N asks as she cuddles into him.

"Seven-thirty." Jake replies and leans down to press a kiss to her lips.

"First day off in forever and I only sleep in until seven-thirty? I am suing whoever came up with that." Jake laughs at his girlfriends comment and starts to move. He ends up laying on his side facing her.

"We don't have to get out of bed." He says and presses another kiss to her lips.

"You and I both know we can't stay in bed all day. You're too hyper for that."

"Well, you're not wrong." Jake admits. He sits up in bed and cracks his back. "I'm hungry." Y/N laughs and gets out of the bed and walks into the kitchen. Jake follows and watches her as she looks through the cabinets.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Y/N asks as she stands on her tiptoes to reach a box so she can read it. The stretch makes her shorts and shirt ride up, which in turn makes Jake stare at her. "Babe?" Y/N closes the cabinet and looks over at him. She immediately realizes what he's doing and knows exactly what he's about to say. "Jake Nolan do not even say what I think you're going to say unless you want to cook for yourself, and everyone knows you can't cook, so you'll be eating raw eggs." She threatens. Jake nods and turns to look in the other cabinets. She knew damn well her boyfriend did not have any type of filter, so whatever he thinks, he says.

"How about pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon?" Jake suggests. Y/N nods and turns her speaker on, blasting music in the house. Y/N starts singing while making the food until a certain song comes on. No One by Alicia Keys, Y/N's absolute favorite song.

Her eyes light up and she turns to Jake. Ever since they started dating, every time they were together and the song would come on she would stop what she was doing and sing to Jake. She walks over to him, wraps her arms around his body, and leans her head on his chest.

"I just want you close. Where you can stay forever. You can be sure, that it will only get better." She sings and Jake sways them.

He loves when she does this. He wouldn't tell her, but sometimes he would play the song when he feels anxious or upset because it makes him feel better. All of the lifeguards knew about their little tradition. It didn't take them long to find out because the day after it first happened Jake was humming the tune in the tower while he was with Harries, and Harries questioned Jake about it which led to the entirety of the Waverly Council Lifeguards knowing about the significance of the song in under twenty-four hours.

After the song finished Jake pulled Y/N in for a long kiss and once they pulled away he grabbed her face and squished her cheeks together.

"You know I love you right? More than I could ever love anybody else."

"I know, and I love you too." Y/N replies.

§§§

After cleaning up the mess from breakfast Jake took a shower while Y/N continued to clean their house, and after his shower she went in and took one, still blasting music. Jake just put on shorts and flopped back onto the bed to wait for Y/N. He was on his stomach looking on his phone for engagement rings when the bathroom door opened. Jake freaked out and immediately locked his phone.

"What do you want to do today?" Y/N asks as she straddles his back and starts rubbing it.

"Paddle boarding, but if you keep rubbing my back I'm going to fall asleep." Jake replies and closes his eyes. Y/N laughs and leans down to kiss his cheek.

"You're like a adorable cuddly puppy."

"Babe, I am not a puppy."

"Yeah. Ok."

§§§

"Jake I swear if you run into me again-!"

Splash.

Jake starts dying of laughter when he sees Y/N resurface. The look on her face told him everything he needed to know.

She was going to kick his ass.

"Awe, baby! You look so cute!" Jake exclaims.

Y/N gets back on her board and grabs the paddle before jamming it into Jake's board, causing him to lose balance and fall into the water.

She laughs and sits down on her board. Jake resurfaces next to her board and jumps on with her.

"Your board is gonna start going to shore." Y/N says.

"Eh, let it. We'll paddle in together."

"You just want to stare at my ass." Y/N laughs.

"That's part of it, yes." Jake replies and smiles at his girlfriend. Y/N smiles back and leans in to kiss him.

"Love you too babe."

§§§

After Y/N helped Jake load the boards and paddles into his truck he helped her down from the bed of said truck by picking her up by her thighs, but he didn't put her down.

"I'm gonna fall!" Y/N exclaims and grabs his shoulders.

"You're not going to fall!"

"I don't trust that statement!" Jake chuckles and finally sets her down by the passenger door. Y/N goes to open the door but realizes it's still locked. "Why's the truck still locked?" Jake gives her a cheeky smile. "Jake, I'm cold. Unlock the truck."

"Give me a kiss and I'll think about it." Y/N gives him a quick peck and gestures for his keys. "I know I've kissed you like, ten times, but just like another ten, please?" Jake negotiates.

"One more, then you let me in the truck and then we'll talk." Y/N counters.

"I can work with that."

The day after the last day of summer was one for the books.
