I’m sorry to be later in the day than usual with posting this, but I couldn’t let this Monday escape me without posting some holiday season fics that I love!  Guaranteed to give you all the warm and fuzzy, happily ever after feels (much like a Hallmark movie, only probably better written and starring our Savior and our Captain! <3)  Hope you will enjoy...and maybe find something you haven’t read before...

“Cold Winter’s Light” by: @whimsicallyenchantedrose​

I thought of this one shot and wanting to re-read it first thing this morning when I learned my school was on a 2-hour delay.  Originally written for a CS Secret Santa gift, Jennifer gives us all the CS family holiday fluff and domestic adorableness we didn’t get to see in canon, with a perfect helping of the rest of the extended family and Storybrooke gang mixed in as well.  Not to mention that there’s a lovely surprise as well. :)

“A Pirate’s Christmas Carol” by: @whimsicallyenchantedrose​

I had forgotten about this two part fic until I went looking for the other, saw it in Jennifer’s stories and remembered how much I loved this one as well.  This one is a little more “feelsy” but it still has a lovely and meaning happy ending.  You definitely should check it out if you haven’t read it.

“Home for Christmas” by: @startswithhope​

This is a short MC which starts of showing Emma and Killian as best friends, and her standing by him as his father and half brother come back into his life.  It’s really lovely, both seeing Killian regain some of his family (not without bumps in the road, but still) and also seeing CS go from friendship to coupledom in a completely different way than on the show, but which feels very much in character!

“Christmas in Storybrooke” by: @searchingwardrobes​

This short MC is unique in that it is really a grown up Henry Mills who is the main character and it’s just such a different and very heartfelt and modern AU.  There are still tons of lovely married CS moments, as well as fun cameos by Henry’s younger siblings and many of the SB folk, as well as Henry’s future True Love.  It’s SO wonderful!!! If you missed it last year when Melanie wrote it, now is your chance to experience it for yourself! :0

“Underneath the Tree” by: @searchingwardrobes​

Oh my goodness, this one shot! It could be a little Hallmark movie (and boy do I wish it was - starring Jennifer Morrison and Colin O’Donoghue, of course!)  I love the whole concept of getting Emma a real tree for the first time. How they come together throughout the stories.  It just warms my heart so perfectly!  I believe this was for last year’s CSSS event, but I am willing to be you’ll love it this year just as much!

***And, for an added bonus, if you’re in the mood for something a bit more steamy... “Hot Toddy” by: @startswithhope​
