Dear Secret Santa...
Please copy the following form when submitting your wishlist (Be AWARE that these will be published):
{ PUT THIS IN THE TITLE BOX }: [INSERT YOUR USERNAME HERE]'s wishlist
Things I'd like: Requests can be of any type - fics, videos, graphics, gifs, art. Just make sure you leave more than one option for your Secret Santa, so they can work in the genre they feel most comfortable with. Request as many things as you'd like. The more things you list, the more likely your Secret Santa will be able to fill one of those requests so you get what you want. It's usually a good idea to include several ships and characters you prefer, prompts, what genre or rating of fanfic you like, what colors you'd like, etc. Give your Secret Santa a good idea of what you want without boxing them in.
* Please be as detailed as possible.
No-no's: Things you absolutely, positively do NOT want.
What I CAN do: Where your strengths lie - if you write fic, make graphics, draw art, create videos, etc.
What I absolutely CAN'T do: Pretty self-explanatory: make sure to list your limitations. For example: "I can't write fanfiction" or "I can only write *insert ship(s)/character(s) here*."
Back-Up Gifters: (YES OR NO) This is voluntary for anyone in the exchange who would like to step in to make a present for someone when their Secret Santa drops out. You would have to make more than one gift, but you'll really be making a person's holiday brighter. If interested, one of the mods will contact you personally.
If YES to back-up gifter, would you be able to make 2 gifts at the same time? This is a precaution to make sure everyone receives gifts.
Anything else: If there's anything else not covered above.
Ready to submit? Click here and please SELECT the box that says "2016: wishlists"!
... to Once Upon A Secret Santa, an online Secret Santa swap for the Once Upon A Time fandom, brought to you by Storybrooke Mirror and Fuck Yes Once Upon A Time. All you have to do is post your wishlist. You will then be assigned another member of the community as their Secret Santa. Then you will be sent the wishlist of their requests and you try to fill their request to the best of your abilities. In the end, everyone should have gifts from each other. This is just a way to spread a little more love in the OUAT fandom this holiday season.
Anonymous: Would you consider handing over the account to someone who would be willing to take over responsibility?
It would depend and I’m leaning towards most likely no.
It’s very stressful, requires at least 4-5 people (and I can already tell you at least 3 out of 4 people in our current group of mods aren’t coming back), and my part of the SS alone took a huge amount of time, details, and stress so that’s why I don’t want to anymore. Our turnout gets smaller and smaller every year so it’s not worth the stress anymore.
cocohook38: I'm so sad there won't be ouatss this year :( so I wanted to let you know that I had so much fun doing it this 2 last years! It was really a lovely idea and such a good moment, having fun with anon question waiting for your noni, creating the best gift for the person, having new friends. So yeah thank you so much for doing those fantastic SecretSanta ❤️ hope this won't end end for real lol
Aw thanks! I’m v glad to hear that you enjoyed it the years we had it going.
Fandom: Once Upon a Time Pairing: Regina Mills/Emma Swan Rating: PG-13 Word Count: ~4000 Note: For @theforgottenpromises for @onceuponasecretsanta. Sorry this is late! It’s rather lengthy, so I’m going to post it in chapters. I hope you like it! <3 Happy (belated) Holiday and New Years!
Summary:
The forest is motionless—no creatures, no wind. The leaves beneath your feet make no sound, and you can barely breathe for the stillness. Clouds crackle with lighting and smoke but no rain falls. It’s days and days.
Your mother remains positive: She’s changed, she says. She’s strong, she says. She’ll be alright, she says. You aren’t sure if it’s for you or herself that she keeps repeating, and repeating, and repeating.
The trees thin out and you come to a village.
Maybe she’s been through here, your mother says. Maybe we can—
But the village is full of bones, burnt bodies and half-houses and one man left alive, just barely. He lives long enough to look you in the eye.
She’s back, he whispers, she’s back. Please, god help us. She’s back.
Merry Christmas @belletheoutsider I am your OUASS! I’m sorry this took so long! With having vacation and the holidays and work it has been hard finding time to write this! I tried to make it longer than it originally was going to be because I owe it to you since it is late! I hope you enjoy it!
Summary: It’s Christmas morning and Belle and Rumple are spending it with their two children. Belle is heavily pregnant with baby #3. Unbeknownst to them, Belle and Rumple are in for a big surprise!
(There are some slight differences between the version here and the version published on the sites above. Differences include improved wording and grammar)
Christmas Special Delivery
The
morning sun streamed through the windows of Belle and Rumplestiltskin’s
bedroom. Rumple was awake first, as usual. He looked over to his beautiful wife
sleeping peacefully and smiled at her. He liked watching her sleep. Her face
was free of any tension and she had a cute smile on her face. He took the back
of his fingers and lightly stroked her cheek. This made Belle giggle and open
her eyes. “Good morning, handsome.” She crooned, her voice still thick with
sleep. Rumple leaned over and kissed her.
“Merry
Christmas.” He rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
“Merry
Christmas.” Belle smiled and kissed him again. “What time is it?” Rumple looked
behind Belle’s shoulder at the alarm clock on her nightstand. “It’s 7:30.”
Merry belated Christmas and happy belated New Year, @reanncee! I was your terribly late Santa! I really am sorry about the tardiness. The holidays got to me in real life and I’m just now beginning to recover and get back to normal.
When we first started talking, you said that you wanted to see Regina and the Flash team up and save Storybrooke. I’m not all too familiar with the Flash - an additional dark mark on me - but after I saw a couple gifsets from Arrow about Thea and Roy, I was inspired. I hope you like your present and, again, I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A BAD SANTA.
“I don’t think Lena has her head on straight. You? A
manager?”
Regina scoffs and savors the last sip of her coffee before
chucking it in a trash bin. That time allows her to collect herself and calmly
respond to her friend. “Thanks for having so much faith in me, Emma.”
Her friend rolls her eyes and chuckles. “C’mon, Regina, be
real.”
“I am being real,” Regina whines, all but stomping her foot
on the city sidewalk.
Emma rolls her eyes again, solidifying the weird friendship
between the two of them.
“It’s not that I don’t think you’ll be a good manager,” Emma
tells her. “I just didn’t see that coming. I thought you didn’t like the club.”
Shrugging, Regina adjusts the straps of her trusty bag over
her shoulder. “I never said I didn’t like it,” she qualifies. “I just said I
didn’t like how Lena was running it.”
“So she handed you the reins because she got angry.”
Regina nods. “Pretty much.”
Their relationship is complicated, to say the least: Emma
and her half-sister Zelena were frenemies in school, always paired together for
school projects and such because they ‘had common abilities.’ How those common
abilities translated into Emma becoming a cop and Lena becoming a club owner,
no one will ever know.
But with the amount of times Emma came over to the Mills
Mansion during school, she and Regina bonded as well and to this day, grab
coffee on the off chance that they’re both (a) awake and (b) coherent enough to
hold a conversation.
“Well, you’ll have to tell me when you make your first night
is,” Emma says, heading across the street. “I want to be there to make your
life hell.”
Laughing, Regina responds, “Because you don’t already.
Shouldn’t you be keeping an eye out for delinquents like yourself? You know,
being an officer of the law?”
Emma flips her hair over her shoulder, saying, “Gotta let
loose every once in a while, right?”
Regina laughs even harder, coming to a halt on the edge of
the sidewalk as she bends in half with her mirth. Of all the people she’s ever
met, Emma Swan is the only person who wouldn’t let her occupational oath keep
her from having a good time.
sure she sits with him for a while after he’s put henry to bed following a late stakeout and sure she invites him over to make dinner more often than she doesn’t but that’s their usual. it isn’t because she likes him, likes him. (no one tell henry he agreed to this silly masquerade because he likes, likes her, okay?)

for the wonderful @shady-swan-jones! it is i, your once upon a time secret santa. thank you so much, again, for all of your patience while my muse got itself together. a very special thanks to @thereqinamills and @swankkat for all their idea help and read-through help, too!

“Are you sure you’re okay to watch him?”
Killian nods as he stands by her front door, watching as she slips on her boots then reaches for her jacket.
“As I’ve told you countless times, Swan, what good is it for you to pay a babysitter when I’m next door?”
Emma shrugs. “I don’t know. It’s just…weird. You drop everything you’re doing just to look after Henry whenever I get a call and you won’t even let me pay you.”
Killian smiles as he grabs the beanie from the table and slips it on her head. “I can assure you, I had no other plans tonight but to watch the game, something I can easily do with your television.”
She grumbles something under her breath, something that sounds like an, if you say so, before she grabs her keys from the bowl and slips them into her pocket.
“Just make sure he’s in bed by ten and no sweets after dinner,” she tells him, zipping up her jacket.
Dear @the-roseknight it was so fun being your OUATSS. Sorry I couldn’t message much, I’ve been very busy with exams and different trials. Nonetheless, here is your gift! Hope you like! I grouped some songs together based off of different characters from the show. I won’t name any, so try to guess! :)
