When Carisi finds out that Olivia, Amanda and Fin have nobody to spend Christmas with, he takes pity on his colleagues and invites them to spend the holiday weekend at his family's country cabin, making it his mission to help his teammates find the true spirit of the season. Takes place in season 18. Team friendship fic.

It's a testament to the craziness of the team that a conversation with Garcia somehow evolved into an argument that then resulted in a bet between JJ, Emily, Penelope and Derek. The setup is simple; Garcia has bet that her and Morgan are more compatible as a couple than JJ and Emily; the only thing is that none of them have dated or ever planned on dating. Romance and fun ensues.
