Hi there! I'm Jennifer. Thanks for stopping by! I'm semi-obsessed (okay, fully obsessed ;-p) with all things OUAT. Captain Swan is my otp of otps, but I'm also quite fond of Outlaw Queen, the Charming family, Captain Cobra and Captain Charming...

Merry Christmas if you celebrate it and happy holidays if you don’t!  One of the things I love about Christmas is watching reruns of all the old classic Christmas movies–Christmas is a big time for nostalgia.  A few years ago, I decided to incorporate that tradition into my fandom life and post my CS holiday reruns.  So here you go!  I’ve paired down my rerun posting schedule for this year (mostly because the holidays snuck up on me this year!), so I will have 1 story/day up until Christmas Eve, and then a New Year’s rerun posting New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.  Did I leave off one of your favorites?  Check out my full gamut of Christmas fics [here]

Written in 2016, this CS canon divergence is a re-imagining of what New York City Serenade might have looked like if Killian had found Emma’s NY apartment just before Christmas. Can the magic of the season help Killian bring back Emma’s and Henry’s memories?

CS Genre: Canon Divergence (missing year between 3a and 3b)

A/N:  I don’t really know what time of year it was when Killian showed up at Emma’s New York apartment door, but for the sake of this canon divergence, I’m saying he showed up the day before Christmas Eve.

I hope you enjoy your gift.

Happy Christmas, Jen.

Thank you @ultraluckycatnd for reading through this.

A Magical Christmas

Christmas in Storybrooke was always a magical time. Families and businesses would put up twinkling lights and the town would come together to decorate the tree in the town centre.

Yes magic had always been a huge part of Storybrooke ever since it was brought back. But this year Regina decided the town should do Christmas like they do in the land without magic.

Emma reluctantly agreed, having now lived in Storybrooke happily for over ten years. She'd gotten used to using her magic. It was now very much a part of her so to have it taken away again, even just for a short amount of time, felt wrong. Yet she was willing to give it a go.

When the other residents were told of this most were fine, not having magic themselves. Those that did felt they were getting enough warning to prepare. Whilst the majority of people turned to the internet to seek out advice and ideas, Belle was thrilled to see the number of checkouts of cookery and craft books increase from the library she still ran alongside her new husband, Will Scarlet.

Despite his best efforts, Gold was unable to change enough to keep Belle happy. They decided it was best for everyone if he moved back to the Enchanted Forest. He still saw his son, of course; she'd never stop him doing so and he was an excellent father wanting to make up for his past errors. But she'd grown wiser to his antics and felt she deserved better. So when Will turned up on her doorstep one day, she took the chance and agreed to hear him out. Belle had never been happier.

🎄🎁🎄

--I like how you handled the Belle/Gold/Will situation! So happy Belle finally saw the error of her ways, and I think you're right. Gold would do his best to be a good father.

--lol, I like Charming being protective of Killian.

--Oh, I like how you personified the Jolly Roger, and I like that she tried to do her best to cushion Killian's fall.

--Poor Emma having to hear about the accident over the radio--and knowing she doesn't have magic to heal him.

--i liked the scene in the hospital. The perfect mix of angst and sweet. Lol, Killian's probably ly right about Granny, though. I'm sure she can smell the change in Emma's hormones.

--Aw! I like all the Chrismassy stuff at the farmhouse and how excited Snow is for the family to be together

--Aw! I like how excited everyone is about the baby and I like the scene of Killian singing while he cooked. Lol, to the "something smells good" line!

--Yay for magic being back, and you for Robin back too!

--Thanks again for this! I loved all the family feels!

All I DON'T Want For Christmas is You--Chapter 1

Merry Christmas, @dazzlingstarlight!  I was your Secret Santa this year.  This season–and this story totally got away from me, so it’s going to have to have multiple chapters (probably 5 or less).  I hope you don’t mind future installments of your story coming after Christmas.  I won’t have much time to write before the new year, but one of my big New Year’s resolutions for 2026 is to finish my WIPs, so you shouldn’t have too long to wait.

Word Count: 1909

Genre: Modern Au–enemies to lovers/fake dating

Summary: Based on an Audible original book, "10 Things I Hate About Christmas", as well as various bits and pieces from Hallmark Christmas movies, when Emma Swan mistakenly sends her boss, Regina Mills, the NSFW gag Christmas gift meant for her best friend, Ruby, she’s convinced she’s about to be fired–or worse.  Luckily Regina’s nephew, Killian Jones, has a plan to help her take back her gift before Regina’s any the wiser.  All Emma has to do is come back home with Killian to Storybrooke and pretend to be his girlfriend.  The problem?  Emma can’t stand Killian.  Can she pretend to be in love with him for three days in his quirky hometown?  What happens when she sees a different side of him and realizes maybe she doesn’t hate him after all?

Notes: This story was written for 2019’s CSSS. It should hopefully be obvious from the story itself, but this is a canon divergence from 3x20.  It’s been a minute, so a quick reminder of what was going on in our favorites’ lives at this point in the story: Zelena cursed Hook’s lips so that the next time he kissed Emma, she’d lose her magic.  She threatened to kill Emma’s family, starting with Henry, if Hook told Emma about the curse.  Hook then decided to send Henry to New York where he’d (hopefully) be safe, but before that could happen, Zelena’s monkeys attacked.  With the help of Emma and the Charmings, Hook was able to defeat the monkeys, but not before Zelena showed up, told everyone about the curse and promised to kill Henry.  Emma and the Charmings are furious at Hook for keeping the curse secret.  This story takes place in the following episode just after Hook and Emma head to the farmhouse to confront Zelena.  Divergences for this story: 1. Snow hasn’t yet gone into labor. 2. Zelena and Rumple aren’t waiting for CS at the farmhouse.  3. It’s Christmas Eve. 4. Blizzard.

Note: This fic was written in 2016.  At the time, it was a “future fic”, but now it’s more of an “alternate” canon fic.  Killian, apprehensive about the coming birth of his and Emma’s first baby, wonders if he has what it takes to be a good father.  On the night before Christmas, he’s visited by three unexpected guests who help him realize the answer.  This story originally had two parts, but in order to fit the twelve day timeframe, I condensed it into one.

Notes:  This story is the 4th of an eventual 5 chapters of a story I wrote for the birthdays of @jrob64, @snowbellewells, and @kmomof4. A quick explanation of the premise of “Girls’ Trip Fairytale Ending”: In the introduction chapter, @jrob64, @snowbellewells, and @kmomof4 and I are hanging out in our vacation cabin in the Smokey Mountains on the last night of our vacation when suddenly The Author (Isaac) appears in our living room.  He was annoyed with our conversations about plot holes and things that should (or shouldn’t) have happened in canon, so he offers each of us a chance to travel into the storybook–to a specific scene we would like to “fix”, just to show us how many problems our edits would cause (spoiler: our edits didn’t cause problems.  The fixed bonehead writer decisions).  If you’d like to see which scenes the others chose to fix and read how they fixed them, check out the full fic here:
