A christmas Countdown Day 7

OK, I know I did a post about Christmas movies last year, but bear with. Christmas is all about traditions. Christmas is all about those little family rituals that make the holidays special. There’s the advent calendars, and the cakes and the mince pies and Christmas is absolutely about movies. If you missed my post from last year you can check it out here. Happy Holidays – Bordering Grey But…

baby, you’re a firework [ironstrange new years’ eve fluff]

Title: baby, you’re a firework

Summary: Life is strange for a futurist who couldn’t imagine his own future. Thankfully, Tony gets to welcome the new year with a budding sense of hope in the form of a certain cute, cardigan-wearing wizard.

Characters | Ships: Tony Stark/Stephen Strange, Ironstrange

Notes: late-ish new years ironstrange because we’re kicking off TwentyBiTeen right!! please feel free to leave comments, especially constructive criticism!! y'all, tony, and stephen deserve the best, so i want to be able to improve my writing ùwú

While the sight of the universe’s strongest heroes mingling and making fools out of themselves at the New Year’s Eve party at the Avengers’ compound was a rare and amusing sight (bar Groot’s horrified stare at the Christmas tree they had forgotten to put away), Tony had to say that the night sky was pretty sublime.

The stars were once a solace, shiny beacons of hope in Tony’s dark childhood. Then space became a gaping maw of death and destruction after Thanos’ first invasion in New York.

But now that it’s been a year since they’ve successfully defeated Thanos, Tony's had a chance to repair his relationship with the stars. Sometimes this attempt was eclipsed by nightmares of losing oxygen in an adrift spaceship, and he couldn’t stand sparing a glance up the blanket of blackness over the Earth.

Other times, Tony sees the glittering expanse of night and thinks about the other planets out there. He remembers the taste of victory, of Nebula��s twin blades against Thanos’ neck, of Peter Parker in his arms as they watched everyone cheer against the backdrop of a the multicolored sky somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy… and Tony feels like one day he’ll be able to fulfill his childhood dreams of space exploration without fear.

Bringing his thoughts back to Earth, Tony glances at the party behind him to see Shuri and Peter laughing at an exasperated-looking T’challa. Tony can see that the king is trying not to laugh, however. The sight pulls a smile from Tony’s lips.

“Enjoying the party, Stark?”

Tony looks up to see Stephen Strange walking up to join him on the balcony. The other man is in casual wear, donning a cute cardigan sweater that should not look as good on him as it does. He’s smiling at Tony, head tilted inquisitively and hands in the pockets of his jeans.

Tony’s heart does a flip, and it has nothing to do with the sudden boom of fireworks in the background. “Funny, I should ask you the same thing. Heard you were a bit of a party animal back in the day, doc.”

“No offense to New York’s party king himself,” Stephen says wryly, still looking at Tony with that little half-smile, “but honestly, it’s not a lifestyle I’d want to go back to.”

“Hear, hear.” Smirking, Tony tips his wine glass at him and promptly takes a sip of his grape juice.

He turns back to the sky, now alight with greens, reds, and yellow explosions. It’s all very aesthetic, but it’s nothing Tony hasn’t seen—and even done—before.

Stephen comes to stand by his side. “Not a fan of fireworks?”

“Eh, they’re alright. Got nothing on those fancy magic sparks I see when you’re around,” Casual as can be, Tony glances at him out of the corner of his eye, heart-rate spiking over how Stephen would react.

But the sorcerer supreme merely chuckles. “A side effect of channeling energy from other worlds, I’m afraid. I’m not doing anything special.”

“You’re still pretty impressive to me, awesome facial hair bro.” Though Tony’s tone is flippant, he genuinely means what he says. It’s a testament to how far he’s come that he admits this, though the admiration is more for Stephen himself than the actual practice of… magic.

Stephen hums and does some of what Tony likes to call his “wizardly gangster signs”; with his signature boom boom woosh sound effects, Stephen spreads his hands to reveal… a tiny Tony Stark made out of golden sparks. Tiny Tony starts to suit up, shimmering red as his armor covers his body similar to how Iron Man Armor: Mark L operated. The miniature Iron Man does figure-eights around Stephen’s hands and comes to float in front of Tony, who looks at it in wonder.

“Damn, doc, that’s…”

“Impressive?” Stephen says with a wink. Tony’s heart kicks into high-gear once again.

Thankfully, Tony’s saved from saying anything by his miniscule double. Flipping his face plate up, Tiny Tony flashes them with a wink and double-finger guns before he flies off into the night sky and explodes next to a bout of fireworks.

Tony snorts, looking at Stephen with an amused curl of his lips. “Is that really how I look like?”

“I should hope so. I spent hours trying to perfect it,” Stephen says with a grin that borders on cheeky.

“So, how many reference pictures of me did you use, huh? I’m betting at least a thousand.” Tony nudges his shoulder.

“I’ve got a photographic memory, actually.” Stephen clears his throat then mutters, “Not that I would’ve been able to concentrate if I had used those reference pictures Wong gathered anyway...”

It’s not much to go on, but Tony’s mouth gets ahead of his brain as he says, “You know, you could just call me next time. I’ve done some freelance modeling back in the day, you know, to advertise Stark Industries and all that. I’d definitely be open to modeling for you.”

Stephen stares at him with wide eyes. Tony holds his gaze, hoping against hope that he didn’t botch things up...

After a beat of silence, Stephen smiles and averts his eyes. “Are you... propositioning me to stare at you all day?”

“Only if you wanted to.” Tony holds his breath.

Stephen finally looks back at him, jade eyes bright. “Nothing would delight me more.”

Tony somehow manages to reign the grin that threatens to split his face in half. “I could also model in the nude, if that’s more to your favour.”

The laugh that bubbles out of the wizard is music to Tony’s ears.

Tony steps closer and takes hold of Stephen’s hands. They’re covered in battle-scars, in momentos of Stephen’s bravery and sacrifice. “In all seriousness, Stephen…  I have never met anyone quite like you. You’re caring, compassionate, creative, and smart as hell. You saved the universe thousands of times over, and you made me fall in love with a magician, despite my allergy to all things magic. I’d like to take you out if you’d let me.”

I’d like to have you in my future, if you’d let me.

Tony’s known as a man of tomorrow with all his inventions and ideologies, but for the longest time, he’s been a futurist with no future. It was invention after invention, mission after mission, day after day spent securing others for the future that Tony couldn’t see himself living in.

But years of therapy, medicine and support from his loved ones—especially Pepper, Rhodey, and Happy—helped him have hope again. Even if the future didn’t turn out exactly as he’d expected, even if he and Pepper didn’t work out, even if his dreams of fatherhood hadn’t been fulfilled yet, there was still hope. It was often found in the most unexpected places. Peter and Harley, for example, were like the sons Tony never knew he wanted.

Today, Tony has hopes that things are going to turn out alright. Moreover, he hopes that his future is standing right before him: a man who chose to sacrifice his life and half the world for Tony, a man who Tony inadvertently saved in New York all those years ago, a man who is now staring at Tony as if Tony had held all the secrets of the universe.

“Tony,” Stephen says, and his voice is soft and shaking with all sorts of emotion, “Tony, I—”

Ten! Nine! Eight! A sudden chorus of voices chanting the New Year countdown pierces through the moment.

They jump apart, and Tony sighs at the loss of contact. “Talk about the timing.”

“Indeed… but I guess this means that I can just show you my answer.” Stephen’s eyes are bright with the reflection of ongoing fireworks and the glint of mischief.

Seven! Six! Five!

“Ye—hang on, is that the reason you came outside? Did you plan this?”

Stephen gives one of his trademark enigmatic smiles, the same one that first drew Tony in like a flame. “I had hope.”

Four! Three! Two!

“You saucy minx.” Tony laughs as he tiptoes to wind his arms around Stephen’s shoulders. The thought of who he’s holding, of what the future holds, making him drunk with giddiness.

“You love me,” Stephen points out. His hands are a warm anchor on Tony’s waist.

“Yeah, I do.” Tony rests his forehead against Stephen’s.

One!

Stephen’s kiss is, for a lack of a better word, magical—not only because it comes from a wizard, but because it comes with the promise of a new year, a new future, a new hope for both of them.

why don’t we christmas preferences: day three

WHY DON’T WE DECORATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

(a/n: i was supposed to write this yesterday whoops so its for december 3rd. i’ll try to get today's up tonight but we shall see. also if you have any ideas for what i should do for the other preference days, let me know!)

original post that contains others in the series or search the tag “lex’s wdw christmas countdown”

taglist (lmk if you want to be added!): @ashleynavery, @essentialseavey, @polaroidmarais, @zaddydaniel, + @corbynscoco

corbyn- very few people loved christmas as much as you, but luckily corbyn did. your house was always decked to the nines, filled with as much spirit as one couple could possibly have. your inside was always extremely festive, but you two felt the outside could do a little sprucing up. you had went to target earlier that day and picked out enough lights for all your neighborhood. the sun had finally set and it was time to set them up. you bundled up in your warmest jacket and slipped into your fuzzy boots and met corbyn outside. he had already started to untangle the lights. you two covered the bushes, outlined the yard, strung icicles from your roof border, and set up the lit reindeer (that moved might i add) in the street. once you finished, corbyn grabbed your hand and you two headed to the street to back up and admire your work. he wrapped his arms around you tightly, attempting to give you some warmth as it was freezing outside. he kissed the top of your head and whispered “i’m so lucky to have such an amazing girlfriend” you giggle causing a puff of air to float into the cold air. “i love you” you returned giving his adorable red nose a peck

daniel- daniel brushed the snow off of your shoulders as you undid your scarf. you had just gotten back from the christmas tree farm. daniel went to go grab the tree off of the top of the car, while you filled up the water bucket to place the tree in. after you placed the tree (which was massive by the way) where you both wanted it, you turned on the christmas music. as you wrapped the tinsel around the branches and hung the ornaments you couldn’t help but think about how this, your relationship, was something out of a dream. you smiled over at your adorable boyfriend as he was in deep concentration hanging a golden ornament ball. however, the hanging of ornaments took about twice as long as it should have due to daniel serenading you every so often and your many dance breaks; but you didn’t mine. not at all.

jack- christmas was your favorite thing and you looked forward to it every year. however, this year, you couldn’t decorate because you were out of town december 1-20th for a huge project with your company and when you got back, you had to get presents for all your loved ones. it was the 20th and you pulled into your driveway on the way home from the airport. as you approached the door you saw an oddly familiar twinkle in the corner of the family room. when you entered, you saw all of your decorations out. your heart melted as you realized what happened. you searched for your boyfriend when you heard a rummaging sound in the kitchen. you grinned as you entered to see the curly headed sweetheart attempting to pull out your christmas dish set. you couldn’t contain your excitement and sprinted over to him almost knocking him over. “oh my god y/n!” jack said hugging you tight. “i missed you so much. shit this was supposed to be done before you got here damn it. sorry i couldn’t get out of the recording studio quick enough. shit its not-” you placed your lips against his cutting him off. “it’s perfect, you’re perfect”

jonah- by the second week of november, your boyfriend was already bugging you non stop to you get out the christmas decorations, but you refused. you were a firm believer in bringing out the decorations after thanksgiving, and only after thanksgiving. jonah would bug you almost every waking second pleading to get the decorations out but you refused. you felt thanksgiving need its own moment too. finally (for jonah at least), black friday had rolled around. it was 9 o’clock and you rolled over to stretch and found you were alone in bed. you chuckled and bet to yourself you knew were your boyfriend was. sure enough when you exited your room, and turned at the end of the hall you saw your boyfriend scaling down the attic steps carrying christmas decoration boxes down stairs. “y/n!” he exclaimed with glee almost like a little kid on well...christmas. “so glad you are up love! can you go downstairs and start on the coffee?” i’m almost done grabbing these,” he said nodded to the massive pile of boxes. “also can you start up the christmas music? i’m ready to jam,” he continued with a little shimmy. you grinned and gave your boyfriend a quick peck before you headed downstairs.

zach- “y/n, can we please decorate later?” zach mumbled sleepily as you attempted (and have been for the past ten minutes) to wake him up. “please can we do it now?” you begged. you loved decorating especially for christmas. it was such a special time of the year, and it filled you with such joy. the holiday had always had a special place in your heart and you loved being surrounded by the season’s spirit. the smells, the lights, everything transported you back to your childhood and being with your family and you loved it. zach continued to gripe and left you with no choice. you ripped the sheets off of your cozy boyfriend causing him to let out a yelp. “that’s it!” he said his voice filled with revenge. he sprung out of bed and now it was your turn to squeal. he chased you around the house and finally caught you (you didn’t stand a chance in your socks) and he grabbed you in a bear hug. “i love you”, he said as he kissed your neck. “even with your unhealthy christmas obsession”

78 - sastiel

78. Under The Mistletoe Kiss

TAKING A CASE in December always ran the risk of certain... annoyances. Most of them were easily avoided or ignored, although Sam privately treasured the look on a certain homophobic holiday bell-ringer’s face after trying to heckle him and Dean and being on the receiving end of a double-strength “I’ve already been to Hell and clawed my way back out” stare. As far as these things went, decorative sprigs of mistletoe hung above every door of the motel they had checked into in the latest town with a restless spirit problem didn’t rate more than a roll of the eyes, or so Sam had thought until the sprig above their door had decided to detach itself from the molding and suspend itself over Sam’s head the moment he walked under it.

Dean, naturally, had been all too happy to laugh at Sam’s predicament. He was at least willing to help try and remove it, but the sprig resisted being batted away and floated out of reach when either of them attempted to grab it, even after Sam let Dean climb up on his shoulders to try and reach it. They were here to work a case, however, and since a floating sprig of mistletoe wasn’t exactly discreet that left Sam stuck in the motel room with his laptop and the research aspect while Dean left to handle the interviews. At least Dean promised to make careful inquiries about the mistletoe while he was gone, which was something.

Dean called Sam close to noon to update him on the hunt, and Sam passed along the information he’d managed to find on the most likely candidate for their mystery ghost. He was a little hesitant when he asked, “Anything on the mistletoe yet?”

“Not much,” Dean said apologetically. “Good news is you aren’t the only one who got trapped like that, so it’s not like it was targeting you specifically.”

“Great,” Sam sighed. It was good to know, considering how many things were out there that might have a grudge against the Winchesters and Sam in particular. “No clue about what’s going on?”

“Nothing concrete,” Dean answered, sounding a little distracted now. “No one’s really acting any different about the mistletoe except occasionally the people it’s hovering over get a kiss from someone unaffected-- hey, hang on, I just saw-- I’ll call you back, Sammy!”

“Dean!” Sam snapped, alarmed, but Dean had already hung up. Huffing in annoyance and hoping his brother wasn’t running into something he was about to get in over his head on, he turned back to the computer and mentally started the countdown for the two hour mark before he went out after Dean. At least he wouldn’t stand out too much with the mistletoe literally hanging over his head.

Not even half an hour later, Sam was pulled from the laptop by the sound of wings and the now-familiar spark-and-skitter of one specific angel’s Grace brushing up against his awareness. Sam found himself smiling even before the equally familiar voice intoned, “Hello, Sam.”

“Hey, Cas,” he answered, turning away from the computer to greet the angel properly. His eyes fell on the paper bag in Castiel’s hand and the answer to how Castiel had located him around their warding answered itself. “Dean call you?”

“I called him,” Castiel said, holding out the paper bag for Sam to take. “I was hoping to enlist your assistance if you were not otherwise occupied. Dean suggested I bring you lunch.”

“Thanks, Cas, I appreciate it,” Sam said with a grateful smile as he took the bag. His smile brightened when he opened it to find a mixed greens salad with grilled chicken, apple slices and cranberries. “This looks great!”

“I’m glad,” Castiel responded. He sounded distracted, and when Sam glanced up at him questioningly he saw the angel was squinting at the air above his head... oh.

“Cursed mistletoe,” Sam said shortly by way of explanation. “Dean was going to try and find out about it while taking care of interviews, but he got distracted by something. Did he mention anything to you about it when you talked to him?”

“Nothing specific,” Castiel said, still studying the mistletoe intently. Sam wondered if the angel could actually see the spellwork around the plant and wished again that Dean had found something useful. “He said only that you were stuck in the hotel room and that I should bring you something for lunch when I came to ask for your help.” He paused briefly, then asked, “Why did Dean not simply kiss you and end the spell’s effect?”

“What?!” Sam yelped, almost dropping the salad in his shock. “Why the hell would that do anything? The delusions of Chuck’s crazy fangirls aside, I’ve got no burning secret desire to kiss my brother!”

“But you do have a ‘burning secret desire’ to kiss someone,” Castiel said matter of factly. As Sam gaped at the angel, torn between shock and alarm, Castiel stepped closer and reached out a hand to touch the mistletoe. Just like with Dean, the plant bobbed smoothly out of the way, reorienting itself above Sam’s head when Castiel lowered his hand. “Hm. The spellwork is quite intricate. It attaches to the aura of a person suppressing targeted feelings of love, but deliberately avoids lust as a factor. There is also no external compulsion for the object of affection to act in any way.”

“That... sounds pretty harmless, if a little awkward,” Sam said, frowning in thought. “I mean, I guess in this town people are used to it if what Dean said was true, but if whoever is stuck with the mistletoe has to leave....”

“Then the plant would remain within the boundaries of the town once you pass the border,” Castiel answered. “Also, there appears to be a time limit on the spell, perhaps centering around the current holiday season. You may simply wait it out if you would rather not attempt expediency, though it may be difficult for you to assist me as I had hoped.”

“I’m sorry, Cas,” Sam shook his head, turning to look at the angel. He didn’t need to be wallowing in self-pity when his friend needed his help. “What did you need help with?”

“I had hoped to ask for your help in choosing an appropriate Christmas gift for Claire,” Castiel said, looking a little sheepish. “Jimmy’s memories of her preferences are several years out of date, and while I do wish to cultivate a relationship of trust and familial affection between us I am all too aware that our history is... contentious.”

“That’s, uh, one way to put it,” Sam said. A pretty mild way to put it at that, and that’s even before touching on the issues that had been raised with Dean’s actions under the influence of the Mark. Given his own history with possession, both angelic and demonic, Sam could well understand Claire’s ire even as he wished he could help smooth things over for Castiel a little bit. “It’s, um, probably not going to be an easy task. She’s got a lot of justifiable anger.”

“I know,” Castiel said solemnly. “I expect nothing from her. I simply wish to give her a gift so that she has tangible proof that I do care for her, even though I am a poor substitute for the father I have taken from her.”

“You want her to know she has support and protection if she needs it, even though she’s still angry,” Sam guessed. Well, that was relatable, and it was something he could work with. “Not sure if you knew, but before Dean and I got the tattoos we wore a pendant with the anti-possession symbol, and Dean said something about Mom having a special bracelet with a bunch of protective charms and sigils on it. Maybe you could give her something like that?”

“That would be feasible,” Castiel said slowly, his expression lightening as the idea took hold. “A set of protective symbols as a symbol of my wish to protect her. Silver, of course, being best for defensive charms against the supernatural.”

“Of course,” Sam agreed easily. Silver would certainly blend in better than iron, at least, though Claire might not want to deal with the inevitable questions from school friends about it. And now Castiel was looking at him with that narrow scrutiny he had used to study the mistletoe. “Uh, Cas?”

“Sam,” Castiel said, stepping closer. “I would like to attempt to negate the spellwork on the mistletoe, if you will permit me.”

“It’s not going to involve kneeling on my shoulders and poking me in the eye, is it?” Sam asked, only half joking. As Castiel’s expression shifted to one of alarm, he shook his head. “Never mind. Sure, yes, do whatever you need to.”

If anything, the alarm on Castiel’s face grew. Or maybe it was shock. For whatever reason, the angel looked practically poleaxed at his words. “You would grant me that permission so easily?”

“Well, yeah,” Sam said, trying not to fidget under Castiel’s regard. “I trust you.”

“I will strive to be worthy of that trust,” Castiel said softly with the weight of a vow behind his words. Before Sam could ask what he meant, the angel bent forward, resting one hand on the back of Sam’s chair and bringing the other hand up to cup Sam’s cheek. Sam felt his breath stutter to a halt as Castiel lowered his head, pausing for the space of a heartbeat, and then carefully brushed his lips against Sam’s.

Plop!

AN: In case anyone was wondering, Dean did eventually call back to tell Sam pretty much the same thing Castiel did about the curse, whereupon Sam told him he was going shopping with Castiel for Claire's Christmas gift and that Dean should get a separate motel room and track down the witch who spelled the mistletoe to give her a fruit basket, in that order. XD

Fearless Queen + any cheesy fluffy adorable Christmasy thing you feel like doing :)

I like the “first family Xmas” trope, so I went with that!

Read “Once Upon a Christmas” on Ao3.

Regina ticked off another day on her calendar. She knew that, upstairs, Noah Benson was doing the same. Unlike hers, however, she was pretty sure that his was some sort of countdown. A way of keeping track of the days until he and his mom could go back to their old life. It had been a year since Henry had left with Emma, and Regina had just been getting over the sting of loss when Charming had shown up at her door. The magic border had been disturbed - and when they went to investigate, they’d found Olivia Benson and her son Noah. Charming hadn’t known their history, but he’d been wise enough to give Regina space when he knew there was no danger to protect the town from. And, after some explanations over cinnamon rolls at Granny’s, Olivia and her son had moved to Storybrooke. They had been living in a house just down the road until an unfortunate incident with a dragon about two months back…. Now, they shared the Mayor’s mansion with Regina. Regina liked it that way, but she knew Noah was having trouble adjusting.

“Hey.”

Regina turned at Olivia’s voice. “Morning,” she said. “There’s coffee by the stove. What are the plans for today, Sheriff?”

“I’m going to do a few rounds in town…get some paperwork done at the station. Then a few last things to shop for for Christmas. I can take Noah with me, if you want,” Olivia offered.

“Whatever you think would make him happier,” Regina said. “I know he’s not…entirely fond of me.”

“He just needs time to adjust. New York was all he knew.”

“Ever going to tell me why you left?” Regina asked. She knew there had been some kind of trouble, but Olivia had been quiet about the whole thing so far.

“At some point,” Olivia said. She was smiling, though, so Regina was sure she wasn’t upset. “I’ll leave Noah here. Give you two some time to bond.”

Regina nodded, and watched Olivia head out for the day. With a sigh, she set her coffee mug down and walked upstairs. She could hear Noah playing with his toy airplanes just inside the room. “Noah?”

The boy glanced up when she entered. He averted his eyes quickly though, and scooted back almost imperceptibly. “Hi,” he said, in a small voice.

“I…I was wondering…. I could use your help today.”

He glanced up at her again. “With what?”

“Storybrooke’s Christmas Fair is this weekend. I need to make a lot of cookies today. Your mom says you’re pretty good in the kitchen. I could use a hand.”

He stared at her, and Regina had the feeling she was being sized up. By a seven-year-old. Finally, he nodded slowly. “I’ll help. Um���.”

“What is it, sweetie?”

“I saw you that day,” he whispered. “When the dragon came. You did magic. You made it go away.”

“I did. I’m sorry if it scared you.”

“It didn’t!” Noah rushed to say. “I’m not scared. I just…I didn’t know anyone could do it. Can you show me?”

Regina smiled and held out her hand. “Let’s get started on those cookies, and we’ll see.”

*

Olivia heard laughter when she walked into the house that evening. She hid the presents in the front hall closet before heading further into the house. She stopped just outside the kitchen to watch the scene unfolding.

Noah and Regina were racing to decorate what looked like a thousand cookies. Noah was lagging behind, but his looked worlds better. That was because Regina was trying to decorate hers by magic. Olivia bit down on her hand to stifle her laughter as sprinkles went flying across the kitchen, much to Noah’s amusement. It was only when she spotted her son eat a huge spoonful of icing when Regina wasn’t looking, that she made herself known.

“Looks like you’re having fun.”

Both Regina and Noah looked like they’d been caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar. Noah grinned at his mom.

“Hmm Mmmmmrrr,” he attempted through a mouthful of icing.

“Hi baby,” Olivia chuckled. “Why don’t you go change clothes while I help Regina clean all of this up? We’ll go for a walk after dinner.”

As Noah skipped off to his room, Regina gave Olivia an apologetic smile.

“I don’t think he had too much sugar?” she supplied.

Olivia just shook her head. “We’ll find out in about an hour, won’t we? If he’s bouncing off the walls during out walk, he’s your problem to try and get him to bed.”

“Please…like I haven’t dealt with a hyperactive seven-year-old before,” Regina said.

Olivia’s smile faltered at that. “Does…Do you hear from Henry often?” she asked gently.

“…no…” Regina said, finally. “He’s a teenager. It’s to be expected. Plus, I hear Los Angeles is wonderful. Last I heard…he’d taken up surfing.”

“And,” Olivia said slowly, “when was the last you’d heard?”

“It’s been three months. He’s got the life he wants - with Emma.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be,” Regina said. “It was…never right. I invited him for Christmas, but I don’t think he’ll come. That’s okay, though. I’m sure we’ll have a great time - the three of us. I just…I wish you could’ve met him.”

“Me too. Can I…change gears a bit?”

“Of course, but try a cookie. We got right to decorating, and didn’t do any quality testing.”

Olivia selected one of the Christmas trees and took a bite. “Amazing. So…I want you to teach Noah magic.”

Regina had been sweeping up the sprinkles when she registered Olivia’s words. “You…you do?”

“It’s why we had to leave New York,” Olivia said. “He’s special - and he doesn’t even know what’s happening. I could tell, though. There was an…an incident at his school. I knew there was no way they could trace it back to him, but I knew I had to get him somewhere he could grow up…knowing about all this.”

Regina smiled. “Of course I’ll teach him.”

Olivia let out a relieved breath. “Great. Thank you,” she said.

“Anything for you.”

*

Noah woke up and turned to look at his airplane clock. It was two in the morning on Christmas, but he knew he heard something downstairs. Based on the fact that he heard it coming from the kitchen, he guessed it wasn’t Santa. He’d only been practicing his magic for a week, but he knew how to move little things. He silently summoned his slippers to him, and pulled a hoodie on as he crept out of bed.

The house was quiet, other than the rustling in the kitchen. He peeked around the corner to spot a tall boy with dark hair. The older boy was currently making a sandwich, and even though he didn’t look up, he said,

“I know you’re there.”

Noah gasped, and stepped back from the doorway.

“Come on,” the older boy called. “You can have half of my pb&j.”

Noah crept out from around the corner and shuffled into the kitchen. “You’re him. Henry.”

“And you’re Noah - Regina’s told me about you. She says you’re a natural at magic. So a good replacement for me,” he mumbled.

Noah didn’t understand a lot of things adults and big kids said and did. And, frankly, he didn’t much care most of the time. But he did understand…the shape of things. He knew his mom and Regina had been friends before he was born, and that they grown up liked each other. He knew that this big kid, Henry, was pouting. He knew he wasn’t supposed to have heard that mumbled comment - and he also knew it wasn’t true. “She likes me, because she likes my mom,” he insisted. “And I think she likes teaching me magic. But…she misses you. I’m not you.”

Henry stared at him pensively for a long moment, and then held out half of his sandwich, as promised. “When I was little, I used to camp in the living room on Christmas Eve,” he said. “What do you say we build a fort and wait up for Santa?”

Noah nodded eagerly, and held up his hands.

Henry watched, smiling slightly, as the younger boy’s hands glowed fluorescent purple for a moment. Nothing happened at first, and Henry was about to offer to get whatever Noah was trying to summon, when the little boy tried again.

This time, it worked. Sheets came zooming down the stairs, and Noah was socked in the face by five pillows from the linen cupboard.

Henry sniggered, but helped his younger… adoptive kind of step-brother? to his feet. “Let’s go.”

*

Regina knew Henry was home. She could feel it the minute she woke up. He’d never taken to magic, beyond a few simple spells, but she could always feel his magical signature when he was closeby. Olivia was pulling on a hoodie when Regina sat up in bed.

“I think our sons stayed downstairs last night,” she said.

“Ready to meet Henry?” Regina asked. To tell the truth, she was a bit apprehensive. She and Henry had a complicated relationship on the best of days, nowadays, and who knew what this Christmas would be like.

“Ready when you are,” Olivia said, smiling and reaching out to her.

Regina took her hand, and they made their way downstairs. When they reached the living room, they stopped just in the doorway to watch the scene. Henry and Noah were still asleep, snoring under a pile of blankets, just in front of the fire. Noah had an action figure in his arms, and Regina recognized it as one of the superheroes that had papered Henry’s walls when he’d lived here.

“We’ll start breakfast,” she said, feelings of peace and happiness flooding her consciousness. “Let them sleep a while longer.”

Countdown to Christmas Day 1: Kasumi

I can’t believe it’s December already! Anyway, here’s Kasumi for day one of the winter-themed posts :D If anyone else has some sort of ritual or special thing they do on the first snow of the year, and you want me to write about that for another character, or if you have any other requests, just send me an ask!

ur in bio right now right? theres no windows in that room right?

Your phone buzzed with a text from Kasumi. You stealthily checked it, replying,

yeah, what about it?

You then got spammed with a bunch of smiling emojis, then a bunch of snowflake emojis. You smiled as you understood. It was snowing outside. You pictured Kasumi bouncing in her seat, just wanting to dash out the school and throw herself into the snow like she did that one time last year.

You replied with a few grinning emojis, then put your phone away. You couldn’t seem to focus on the lesson anymore though, you didn’t know how you would make it through the rest of the school day.

After School

“Y/n!! It’s sticking! It’s sticking!” Kasumi ran up to you, hugging you and jumping up and down in joy. You laughed, jumping and then shaking her off, grabbing her hand.

“It’s sticking alright! There’s like three inches already, and my mom says it’s not supposed to stop until tomorrow morning, so there’s no way we’ll have school tomorrow,” she grinned, and you knew what that meant.

“My place or yours?” You asked.

“Yours for sure, my mom would make us shovel the driveway if we stayed at my house, remember last time,” Kasumi groaned, laughing.

“Alright, let’s go then! But we have to stop by the grocery on the way back because I don’t think we have any more hot chocolate mix,” you said, and Kasumi nodded.

After you walked back to your house, stopping to get hot chocolate and a few different snacks, you headed up to your room, Kasumi flopping down on your bed like she owned it, and you sat at your desk. “What movies do you want to watch?” You asked. It was a tradition between you and Kasumi that whenever you had a snow day, you would have a sleepover and watch movies all night and blow off your homework because you had an extra day to do it.

“You pick,” Kasumi said, taking her phone and scrolling through her messages. You grabbed a few of your favorite movies (mostly Disney, Ghibli, and other family movies), and started gathering up blankets and pillows to take downstairs. Kasumi hopped up to help you, and you took everything down to your living room where you started to set up a basic pillow fort over the TV. Kasumi got to work as you went to grab some extra sheets from your closet to make the walls.

You got everything set up, and then you and Kasumi got comfy, pressing play on the first movie.

“Ohh, I love this one,” Kasumi grinned, snuggling up to you and leaning her head on your shoulder. You grabbed the oversized bowl of popcorn and put it on your lap, both of you starting to munch on it as the opening played.

It was about 3AM when you fell asleep, and you woke up around 10 to Kasumi sound asleep on your chest, drooling a bit. You smiled and brushed her bangs out of her face, leaning down to give her a small kiss. You didn’t wake her up, feeling way too comfy and warm to disturb her, but you grabbed your phone, resting it on Kasumi’s back as you sleepily checked various social media.

Soon Kasumi started to stir, and she blinked her eyes open, wiping her mouth off and giggling sheepishly at you, and you smiled and poked her cheek gently, leaning down to give her another kiss.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” you said. She smiled and layed her head back down, wrapping her arms around your waist and hugging you, and you hugged her back.

“How much snow?” she muttered.

“I don’t know, I haven’t gotten up to check yet.”

Kasumi, with a sudden burst of energy, jumped up from where she was laying on your chest, and you pouted, playfully grabbing at her to try to get her back, but she was already throwing aside one of the walls to your pillow fort. You squinted, blinded by the sudden brightness of the sunlight reflected off the snow, which there was definitely a lot of. Kasumi hopped up and down excitedly.

“Oh man, I wonder how powdery it is,” she said, eyes wide. “I’m gonna go check!” And she ran off.

“Don’t bring any inside!” You yelled at her, then layed back down, closing your eyes again. Soon Kasumi was back, and she was pulling you up, telling you to get your snow stuff on, because it was the perfect texture for building stuff. You swatted at her arms, resisted getting up as hard as you could. Eventually you two found a compromise by saying that you’ll make breakfast and eat before you go outside.

You spend the rest of the morning playing, making a few small snowmen, then getting too ambitious and trying to make a huge one but not being able to lift the second part onto the first part. Every now and then Kasumi would try to get close to you, saying she wanted a kiss, but you knew better and ran away, and she ran after you, trying to dump snow in your jacket. She was really fast though, and eventually caught up with you by jumping on you, knocking you over into the fluffy snow that broke your fall. You both laughed, and when you settled down a little, out of breath from running, squinting up at Kasumi who was bordered by the bright winter sky, you could only smile. She smiled calmly, leaning down to give you a kiss in the snow.

FIC: Venus (Epilogue)

“What’s the final countdown?” Tryst snorts. “Geez, kid, it’s like it’s your first national tour or something.” (A Campaign rock band AU. Tryst/Leenik/Aava, with background Zero/Blue.)

Read on Ao3 || Chapter 1 || Chapter 2 || Chapter 3 || Chapter 4 || Chapter 5

#

The tour wrap party is in a karaoke bar.

This isn’t because everyone wanted a karaoke bar; quite the opposite. Tryst wanted a bowling alley. Leenik had fought, tooth and nail, for mini-golf. Tamlin wanted to rent out a zoo, and so Bacta was trying to talk him out of that. And in the midst of all the shouting and distress, Jane had looked at Lyn sideways and said “My cousin works at a karaoke bar,” and Lyn had jumped on that and planned the wrap party.

(“Singers,” Tryst snorted when he found out. “All that ego. You just want to show off.”

“There’ll be alcohol,” Jane said. “Like, a lot of it.”

Tryst sighed. “I can probably live with you guys showing off.)

It’s a small party, about as intimate as a party in a back room of a crowded karaoke bar can be, but Lyn suspects that they all prefer it that way. As far as rock stars go, she seems to have found the most insular bunch. No special guests, nothing over the top, just them and some karaoke.

About an hour in, Lyn is tipsy bordering drunk and alone on one of the couches, watching Leenik and Neemo warble their way through something she doesn’t recognize as Tryst and Aava cheer them on. She takes a sip of whiskey and when she lowers her glass, Tamlin plops down next to her. She smiles. “Hello, Tamlin.”

“Hi, Uncle Lyn,” Tamlin not-quite-chirps.

Lyn frowns. “Is something the matter?”

“No.” Tamlin turns and frowns at her. “I mean, maybe? I have a question.”

“What is your question?”

“It’s not for you.”

“Who is it for?”

“It’s for…” his frown deepens. “Can I practice on you?”

“Go ahead.”

Tamlin clears his throat. “I wanna call Uncle Bacta my dad.”

Lyn blinks a couple of times. “And you’re worried about asking him?”

“Kind of? I think he’d say yes, but-” Tamlin looks away. “I know you never knew Mom, but I never really did either. And I know she loves me, I’ve seen all the old videos, but Uncle Bacta’s the one taking care of me, right?”

“Right.”

“So it makes sense, and he’s my godfather so it makes double sense, but I’ve never done it before, and I’m worried about starting.”

Lyn takes a deep breath and stops herself from what she was about to say. The fact is, Tamlin called Bacta “Dad” for the first time three days ago, while he was sleepy and not quite sure of what he was saying. Lyn knows this because Bacta had called her almost immediately afterwards, tripping over his words trying to explain what had happened. It’d taken nearly forty minutes to talk him down, not from hysterics but from the fear of fully realizing he’s a parent.

“Okay,” Lyn says, and leans over to set her glass on the floor. “Why are you worried?”

Tamlin climbs into Lyn’s lap and looks up at her, chewing his bottom lip nervously. “If he says no, what does that mean?”

“It means that he’s still your uncle and you’re still his Tamlin.”

“And if he says yes, what does that mean?”

“It means that he’s your dad.”

Tamlin takes a deep breath and says, all in a rush, “And what if it’s too much to ask for?”

Lyn lifts a hand to the back of Tamlin’s head and lowers her own head so that they’re eye to eye, almost nose to nose. “Tamlin,” she says seriously.

“Yeah?” Tamlin barely whispers.

“Bacta would give you anything you asked for if he could. He loves you. We all do, but he is your godfather, and your uncle, and you are his entire world.” She lowers her forehead further so it’s against Tamlin’s. He blinks at her. “Do you know how he spent breakfast on Monday morning when he and I went out together?”

“No?”

“He and I were researching TSA rules about pets on planes to see if you could take the lizards to Europe.” And Lyn had been researching good ways to teach children French, but she can’t share that yet. That’s his Christmas present. Or at least part of it.

Tamlin gasps. “Really?”

“Really.”

“All of them?”

“If we can figure out how.”

“But what if we can’t?”

“Then we’ll figure out something else. He’ll figure out something else.” She smiles. “This is what I mean, Tamlin, do you understand?”

“Understand what?”

“He’d do anything for you. You are the most important thing in his life.” Lyn lifts her other hand and pulls back just enough to tap Tamlin’s nose; he wrinkles it and grins. “You are his family.”

“You are, too,” Tamlin insists.

Lyn pauses. She lost her brother when she was young, and her father, and she was never close with her mother. The Kaiburr Crystals had been her friends, and nothing beyond that. She never had much in the way of family. But this - she lives with Tryst, and she and Leenik have an unofficial wine club, and she was the one Bacta called when he needed advice. Even Neemo is always there to talk about books, or Aava to talk about the band. And there’s Tamlin. Her nephew.

“I am,” she agrees, voice thicker than she expected. “We all are. But you most of all, Tamlin. And he will not have a problem if you talk to him about this.”

“You sure?”

(Bacta had asked, when he called, if he should bring it up first. Lyn had said no almost immediately. “Because you can’t pressure him into it,” she’d explained. “If he believes this is something that you want, you run the risk of him mixing up those motivations. It needs to be something that he wants as well.”

“I know,” Bacta sighed. “I just… I do want this. I really do, Lyn.”)

Lyn smiles. “I’m sure.”

Tamlin’s face breaks into a wide, earsplitting grin. His eyes are shining. “Thank you, Uncle Lyn! You give good advice.”

“You’re welcome, Tama,” Lyn laughs. “You listen to advice very well.”

“Only the good advice.” Tamlin pulls away and turns back around so that he’s facing the karaoke stage.

Lyn rests her chin on Tamlin’s head and looks around. Her eyes land on Bacta almost immediately, sitting on another couch across the room, definitely watching them both. She smiles. “Can we invite Bacta to come sit with us?”

Tamlin nods excitedly, jostling Lyn’s chin in the process. He lifts a hand and motions over at Bacta frantically, something that Lyn doesn’t understand. Bacta clearly does, judging by the way he smiles and gets to his feet. When he gets to the couch, he picks Lyn’s whiskey glass up off the ground and hands it to her.

Lyn smiles. “Thank you.”

“Of course.” Bacta sits down next to her, shoulder pressed against hers. “What are you guys talking about?”

“I’m afraid I spoiled a surprise,” Lyn says, before Tamlin has the opportunity to get nervous. “I told him about the lizard research.”

Bacta groans. “We weren’t going to tell him yet!”

“I know, I know, it just came up in conversation.”

“But it’s good news!” Tamlin bounces in Lyn’s lap. “It’s the best news!”

“Yeah?” Bacta smiles. “Well, then I’m glad you heard it.”

“Me too.”

“Lyn!” someone yells. When she looks up at the stage, Pliff is gesturing at her impatiently. “It’s your turn!”

“I have Tamlin,” she calls back. “I’ll go twice later.”

“You’re ruining the order!”

Lyn throws an arm around Tamlin’s waist and pulls him in protectively. Tamlin shrieks and giggles. “You can’t make me give him up!”

“Fine!” Pliff rolls his eyes and looks around. Clearly, his options aren’t good: Neemo is talking to an employee, and Tryst, Aava, and Leenik are all lying on top of one another on one of the couches, tangled together. He looks at the rest of his band. “Wanna go again?”

“If no one else is,” Hessa says.

Jane points at Bacta. “You!”

“Me?” Bacta points at himself. “No way.”

“Come on, do a solo!”

“Absolutely not, Jane.”

Tamlin gasps. “Oh, Uncle Bacta, please, please, can you sing something?”

Lyn can see the mental switch that flips in Bacta’s head, from “I don’t want to “ to “Tamlin wants me to.” It’s almost magical how fast he transforms. Just like that, he nods determinedly. “I can sing something for you, buddy, let me go see what they have.”

“Have fun,” Lyn says, patting his hand. Bacta threads his fingers through hers, just long enough to give her pause, and then he’s on his feet, striding towards the stage with more determination than Lyn expected.

“I should’ve suggested a song,” Tamlin says sadly.

Lyn smiles. “I’m sure he’ll pick something you’ll like.”

“Yeah, he will.” Tamlin bounces a little more. “Uncle Lyn?”

“Yes, Tamlin.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“And also Uncle Bacta can’t sing, but we have to clap for him anyways, okay? It’s important.”

Lyn laughs. Bacta, from where he’s picking a song, glances over at her, and she grins at him. “We can do that.”

“Okay,” Tamlin says, as Bacta makes his way to the stage. “Have you ever heard him sing?”

“Only once or twice.”

“Get ready.”

Bacta grabs the microphone. The music starts playing. Lyn smiles. “I’m ready.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

“Good.” Tamlin settles in on Lyn’s lap. Bacta opens his mouth to sing. Lyn’s face splits into a grin. “Because here we go!”

Developing now, Monday, Nov. 20, 2017: Cult leader and murderous mastermind Charles Manson dead at 83 Treasury Secretary Mnuchin tells Fox News the ObamaCare mandate is not a tax reform "bargaining chip" for skeptical senators U.S. general sparks debate when he says he would resist President Trump if he called for an 'illegal' nuke launch Authorities are looking for potential suspects and witnesses after a Border Patrol agent is killed in the line of duty near the Texas southern border Trump doubles down on UCLA basketball player's father, says he should have left basketball players in jail in China   THE LEAD STORY: Cult leader Charles Manson, whose followers killed actress Sharon Tate and six others in 1969, has died. He was 83 ... A spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections says Manson died of natural causes Sunday night. Manson became synonymous with evil and inspired decades of intrigue and documentaries after he sent a group of disaffected young followers to commit murder as part of a twisted, quasi-religious belief that it would launch a race war. The killings occurred on successive August nights and terrorized the city of Los Angeles. The murders horrified the world and revealed a violent underbelly of a counterculture that preached peace and love. Tate, who was nearly nine months pregnant, was found stabbed repeatedly in her Hollywood mansion, along with several of her friends. Other victims included coffee heiress Abigail Folger and celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring. The life of Charles Manson Flashback, Sept. 6: Manson follower Leslie Van Houten determined suitable for parole FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says repealing the individual health care mandate is not a "bargaining chip" when trying to get senators on board with tax reform, despite some GOP lawmakers' doubts about the Senate tax bill ... “This is all about getting this passed in the Senate, that’s the objective. This isn’t a bargaining chip. The president thinks we should get rid of it, I think we should get rid of it—it’s an unfair tax on poor people,” Mnuchin told Chris Wallace in an exclusive interview on "Fox News Sunday." For President Trump, a legislative win is among his top priorities and he wants Congress to pass tax reform by Christmas. Senate Republicans’ tax reform legislation includes repealing ObamaCare's individual mandate. Not all Republicans are on board. Sen. Susan Collins argued that getting rid of the mandate could lead to higher health insurance premiums for some middle-income Americans. Other Republican senators not fully on-board with the tax reform plan include: Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Bob Corker from Tennessee, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Jeff Flake and John McCain, both from Arizona. Trump reignites feud with Flake, predicts he'll vote no on tax cuts House passes GOP tax reform bill: How does the Senate's version compare? A NUCLEAR DEBATE: The U.S.'s top nuclear commander has sparked a debate after saying he would resist President Trump's order if he called for an "illegal” nuclear launch." ... Air Force General John Hyten, commander of the U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM), started the debate when he told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada over the weekend that he had thought a lot about what to say if he received such an order. "And if it’s illegal, guess what’s going to happen? I‘m going to say, 'Mr. President, that’s illegal.’ And guess what he’s going to do? He's going to say, ‘What would be legal?’ And we’ll come up with options, of a mix of capabilities to respond to whatever the situation is, and that’s the way it works." DEATH AT THE BORDER: Authorities are looking for potential suspects after a U.S. Border Patrol agent was killed in the line of duty while patrolling the Big Bend Sector of Texas along the southern border with Mexico ... Agent Rogelio Martinez, 36, died of injuries sustained Sunday while responding to “activity” near Interstate 10 in the Van Horn Station area, according to a news release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Martinez and his partner, who was injured, were transported to a hospital. The partner, who was not identified, remains hospitalized in serious condition. Border Protection spokesman Carlos Diaz told The Associated Press the FBI has taken over the investigation. 'UNGRATEFUL 'BALLERS: President Trump has double-dunked in his war of words with the outspoken father of one of the UCLA players detained in China for shoplifting, calling him "very ungrateful" and saying he should have left the students in jail ... "Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar," Trump tweeted late Sunday. "Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead. China told them why they were released. Very ungrateful!" LaVar Ball, no stranger to controversy and outrageous statements himself, irked Trump when he downplayed the president's successful effort to get his son LiAngelo and his teammates released from a China jail during his recent trip to Asia. LaVar Ball's 'Big Baller Brand' suffers setback after UCLA shoplifting arrest   AS SEEN ON FOX NEWS WEEKEND HATERS ARE GONNA HATE: "Obviously you're still going to have your haters, but let them hate. I think people really need to learn how to get back to the issues."" – Tyrell Brown, 20, on "Fox & Friends Weekend," reflecting on the reaction he and his best friend, Ed Ford Jr., to being the youngest black Republicans ever elected to office in left-leaning Connecticut. WATCH ARE THE CLINTONS ABOVE THE LAW?: "Hillary is from the school of lie, deny, and delay. She and the Obama administration have thwarted Congress at every turn. Investigations are drawn out for so long that America's collective memory fades to the point where no one really cares anymore, which is just what the plan was in the first place"  – Judge Jeanine Pirro, in her "Opening Statement" on "Justice with Judge Jeanine," blasting the failure to appoint a special counsel for the various scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration . WATCH   ACROSS THE NATION Franken reportedly won't resign, amid more congressional calls to deal with allegations against him and Roy Moore.
