[engie-ivy]

“About bloody time! Merlin, I’m glad it’s finally out in the open! I’ve been telling Sirius to come clean about his feelings for you, and just tell you how madly in love he is, for like a year now.”

James forgets mistletoe is a thing and jumps to conclusions.

Keep Kissing Me Under the Mistletoe

Merry Christmas - Ed Sheeran and Elton John

James checks the clock.

It’s almost twenty past three, which means Remus is almost twenty minutes late. James is supposed to help him with his Transfiguration essay, and it’s nothing like Remus to forget.

James wishes, not for the first time, he brought the Map, so he could check where the hell Remus is. He’s just about to leave when Remus comes rushing into the library.

“Sorry, Prongs! I got... hold up.”

James stares at Remus. “Blimey, Moony! What the hell happened to you?”

Remus looks flustered, his clothes are ruffled and his hair is messy, sticking up in all directions, like someone has been running their hands through it.

Remus grins a tad awkwardly, trying to look nonchalant, but not quite meeting James’ eyes. “Sirius just kissed me.”

James blinks a couple of times, but then a huge grin breaks out on his face. “About bloody time! Merlin, I’m glad it’s finally out in the open! I’ve been telling Sirius to come clean about his feelings for you, and just tell you how madly in love he is, for like a year now. That guy is so smitten, it was starting to get quite frustrating to watch him pine after you.”

Remus looks at him wide-eyed, his mouth opening and closing a couple of times, before he exclaims “James! We got stuck under that enchanted mistletoe from Mary!”

“Oh,” James says eloquently. “Right. Mistletoe. I had forgotten that was a thing. Strange tradition really, don’t you think so? I wonder who invented it. Or, well, a plant isn’t invented, of course. I mean the tradition. Who would-”

“Can we please go back to the part where you were telling me that Sirius is madly in love with me?!” Remus interrupts.

James taps his chin. “Interesting proposal, but may I counter that with a suggestion that we pretend that never happened instead?”

“Oh no.” Remus places his hands on his hips. “You can’t tell me something like that and then expect me to forget about it!”

“Come on, Moony!” James pleads. “I’ll be the worst best friend ever!”

“Oh no, what did you do now?”

Remus and James turn around to see Sirius standing there, carrying Remus’ Transfiguration book, which he must’ve forgotten in the... consternation.

“Nothing, we were just-”

“James told me you’re madly in love with me!”

“Remus!” James glares at Remus.

“James!” Sirius glares at James. “How could you! I trusted you!”

“It wasn’t like that!” James protests, before angrily turning back to Remus. “You’re twisting my words!”

“It’s literally what you said!”

“Well, taking my words out of context then!”

“What context?”

“The context that I didn’t know there was a mistletoe involved!” James exclaims.

“That’s no context!”

“Yes, it is!”

“How then does it change anything about the meaning of what you said?” Remus demands.

“Maybe not the meaning, but the reasoning behind it.”

“That’s not what ‘taking out of context’ even-”

“By all means!” Sirius says loudly. “Continue your little semantic discussion! If anyone needs me, I’ll be crawling into a hole and dying.”

Remus turns to Sirius and studies him. “So that’s why you were so... enthusiastic under the mistletoe.”

Sirius shrugs. “I thought it’d be my one chance to ever kiss you, so I guess I wanted to make it count. And,” His cheeks slightly redden as he continues. “I was hoping, if I made it really, really good, maybe you’d want to do it more often.” He looks down at his feet before quickly adding “And then marry me in an intimate ceremony in your parents’ backyard, buy a cosy cottage on the Welsh countryside together, adopt five dogs and live happily ever after.”

Remus bursts out laughing. “Oh, Padfoot,” he says, wiping at his eyes. “You’re so wonderfully ridiculous. It might be a bit soon for that last bit, but as for the first one part,” he steps close to Sirius and gently places a hand on his cheek, stroking it softly with his thumb. “I’d say you succeeded pretty well.”

“And it’s all thanks to me!” James exclaims.

Sirius scoffs, but soon finds it’s hard to be mad at James when Remus is leaning in to press his lips against his.

elriel x mistletoe kissing but it's a human tradition and azriel doesn't understand it

Hello lovely!! Thank you for sending me this cute prompt! 🎄💕 I wrote a little something and posted it on AO3. Link is below. 💗

Read on AO3. Snippet beneath the cut.

Azriel leaned a hip against the wall as he sipped from his glass of amber liquid. It was the good stuff—it always was the good stuff during the holidays. Rhys made sure of it.

His family had scattered throughout the sitting room, watching a toddler-sized Nyx play with all the new toys he received. His happy squeals and sweet giggles kept the adult’s attention enough for him to sneak into one of the darkened alcoves just to observe the others. And for some peace and quiet. Azriel loved his family, he really did. But they were a loud, rowdy group, of which he was not.

The only person who noticed his absence from the sitting room was the one he was hoping would seek him out. She always seemed to catch him trying to sneak away. It was one of many things they had in common.

“Hiding out?” Elain said quietly, pink lips quirking up.

Azriel slid his gaze over her body, taking in the amethyst-colored gown she wore. Her golden-brown hair glowed like a summer dawn in the gilded fae lights. She was gorgeous. He told her as much, earning a bashful smile in return.

hello this is a bit from near the start of my christmas fic (it’s preceded by 600 words of fighting? why have i started a christmas fic with fighting? how festive)

Buck’s been avoiding him for most of this 48-hour. Which is fine, because Eddie’s still pissed about the way he ran back into that house on the verge of a flashover for that little girl’s alarmingly geriatric greyhound, but sucks, because Eddie and Chris are leaving for ten days of Christmas holidays in El Paso tomorrow morning. Without Buck. So every minute Buck about-turns and ducks behind the rig like maybe if he can’t see Eddie, there’s no way Eddie can see his long-ass legs poking out from under, is one less minute Eddie gets to have him this year. Eddie’d kissed him behind the engine, soot-stained and grubby after delivering the skinny dog safely to her owner, before stepping back and shoving him in the chest. “As if Chris doesn’t have enough parental trauma associated with Christmas-time,” he’d hissed. “What the fuck would I have told him?” Buck had scowled back, face one giant smudge of ash when he replied, “Don’t worry, I’d have had plenty of time to heal up before I saw you next year.” And Eddie didn’t know what to say to that, because he asked Buck to come to Texas with them, of course he fucking did, but Buck said no, over and over, because he was going to spend Christmas with Maddie and Chim and Jee. That’s not stopped him from acting incredibly weird about it. Of course I wanna spend the holidays with my sister, Eds, Christmas has always been our thing, he’d say, and in the next breath snipe, yeah, well, it’s not like you could be gone for any longer than you already are. It’s driving Eddie up the fucking wall, because he doesn’t know what Buck wants and all Eddie wants is to make Buck feel happy and loved during a time of year that’s notoriously difficult for people who come from unhappy families, but he can’t do anything unless Buck tells him what’s got his sweet overthinking brain in this miserable tangle.

barely wrote anything new but i DID do some gross real life tasks i’d been putting off which hopefully means now i actually have time for this without the looming guilt of ignoring shit i should be doing! sexy

holiday themed prompt!! pre-relationship danbert accidentally ending up under a mistletoe

Dan wasn't sure if Herbert was aware of the reindeer antlers headband clinging to his head. Ignorance was the only logical answer. Otherwise, it would be that Herbert knew they were there and had deliberately not removed them, which was a little too far-fetched for Dan to consider. He did, however, catch Herbert's elbow and bring him up short as he passed through the doorway.

Herbert turned to him, his nose wrinkled with irritation. "What?"

Dan stared at his antlers. "Do you know you're wearing those?"

Herbert's answering look was withering. "Do you know you have lipstick on your cheek?"

Dan's hand flew from Herbert's arm to his own face. The hospital Christmas party had been sabotaged by someone clearly intent to stir up drama, as people kept finding sprigs of mistletoe hidden throughout the floor. Dan had already been caught in the entranceway by Denise, who had planted a messy smooch on his cheek. A smooch which had left behind evidence.

Herbert took a sip from his cup of eggnog, eying Dan coolly. Dan had been nursing his own cup, though, truth be told, he wasn't the biggest fan of the drink. He'd always preferred mulled wine. Still, the alcohol must've been affecting Herbert a little, if the pink blush in his cheeks was anything to go by. It stood out starkly against his pale skin. Dan found himself wondering if he blushed like that all over.

Woah.

Dan slammed the brakes on his own mind. What the fuck? Maybe this eggnog was spiked or something, because why the fuck else would he be having those thoughts about Herbert? The holiday rush must've taken more out of him than he'd thought.

He lowered his hand and stammered, "Um, I-"

"Oh! Looks like you've got another one, Dan."

Dan turned at the sound of Denise's voice. She was grinning ear-to-ear, but her eyes weren't on Dan. They were on something just above his head. He glanced up, his stomach curdling with dread at what he was sure awaited him. Big surprise, a little clump of mistletoe had been taped to the arch of the doorway, in the spot directly above where he and Herbert were standing. How had Dan not noticed it until now?

"Oh, no," Dan hurried to say, huffing out a nervous laugh. His head swiveled back and forth between Denise, who was smiling expectantly, and Herbert, who was staring at him, nonplussed. Dan swallowed against the sudden constriction in his throat. "Um, no. I don't think that would be- I don't think that's what it was intended for."

"Now, Dan," Denise chided, hands going to her hips. "That's not very in the holiday spirit, is it? Ignoring mistletoe is bad luck, you know."

Dan didn't know that. In fact, he was pretty confident it wasn't true.

He sighed. "I think the mistletoe can turn a blind-"

He was abruptly cut off by Herbert fisting his free hand in Dan's garish red and green sweater emblazoned with a smiling snowman, before yanking him down into a kiss. Dan's eyes nearly bugged out of his head at the press of Herbert's mouth against his own. His lips were soft, surprisingly warm, and tasted of eggnog. The kiss was as brief as it was sudden, lasting only a couple of seconds before Herbert released him and casually stepped back.

"There," he drawled, the pink in his cheeks even more prominent now. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

Dan just gawped at him, his mouth hanging open wide enough to catch flies. Herbert lifted his cup in a salute, before turning on his heel and vanishing into the crowd of over-worked hospital staff all wearing tacky sweaters and drinking more than should've been allowed on a Tuesday. Dan stayed where he was, unable flip back whatever switch Herbert had flicked with his mouth.

"Well," Denise said, breaking the silence that had begun to gather on them like a thick fog. "He certainly is full of surprises!"

Dan finally closed his mouth and nodded dumbly.

She could say that again.

Meet Me In The Middle (Under The Mistletoe)

A Fexi fanfic / Alternate Universe / Rated T.

Lexi and Bobbi throw a Christmas Party in their new apartment where Lexi has decided to finally shoot her shot with Fezco by finding the perfect moment to get him under the mistletoe.

Until now, Lexi had been content keeping her feelings to herself. She figured she would take her infatuation to the grave for the sake of the friendship. But as the years went by, she would only fall in love more and more – to the point where it was suffocating her now. Bobbi seemed to think that Fezco reciprocated her feelings but Lexi had no evidence that supported that theory. Fezco was an honest to god (that she didn’t believe in) good guy. A salt of the earth type that wouldn’t hurt a fly. As long as you didn’t mess with his friends. His family. His money. He was considerate in a way that had you questioning if the rest of humanity was just a simulation. He was sweet and charming but never used it to his advantage. And that was only with strangers. When it came to the people in his life, you could triple that tenfold. He was as loving as he was loyal.

❤️

[roe-and-memory]

dont think about (redhead) lightning having freckles all over his face and arms, Dont think about sally counting them or connecting them with a pen and calling them stars and constellations and DONT EVER think about how fucking silly they are. dear god theyre so in love. i thought about them once and exploded into confetti.

[sokkas-therapist]

Obsessing over the idea of zukka kissing under the mistletoe and upset that I can’t find any fics with it >:

Anyways, thinking about sokka and Zuko visiting their shared friend and parental figure Piandao over the holidays. Little do they know, Piandao has seen these two idiots pine over each other for too long and he’s sick of it, so he strategically plants mistletoes around his estate in the doorways they are most likely to bump into each other under, hoping they’ll finally sort things out during their stay.

(it totally works, but he begins to regret everything after walking in on them making out under said mistletoe on multiple occasions)

[ashrifts]

forgive me @ everyone who sent in a mistletoe ask i love n appreciate u but i am allergic to being brief and getting to the point so they are gonna take Forever

[allsassnoclass]

1, 7, and 10 ?

:D

HI JESS!!!! :D

1. Which of your fics would you keep the basic plot of but rewrite completely? oooooo this is interesting.... oh wait it's probably Meet Me Under the Mistletoe. It's not a bad fic, but it's definitely not my strongest, which makes sense given that i wrote it over 3 years ago and i've grown a lot as a writer. Plus, it was my longest 5sos fic at the time and i rushed it because i wanted to get it out for christmas. it's fake dating so i'm not mad at the plot or anything, but the writing itself could use some work and i could write it a lot better now.

7. Your favourite ao3 tag. i really like fun, fandom-specific ones!!! "no beta we die like [insert dead character from the fandom]" is one that i like just because it feels like a little community inside joke, except the community is the entire fandom side of the internet. other ones that come to mind are "Christopher Diaz has Two Dads" from the 911 fandom and "Good Babysitter Steve Harrington" from Stranger Things, just as examples of two fandom-specific ones that have been standardized due to enough people utilizing them. i like seeing what trends are prevalent in each fandom's fanfics based on what ao3 tags are often used! i find it fun!

10. Top three favourite fic tropes. oh you KNOW that fake dating is coming up at number one! i go hog wild for fake dating stories. that's the favorite trope of all time for me. more a general trope than specifically a fic trope, but found family is another one that i absolutely love. give me a group of people who form an unbreakable bond of love and trust and deep, profound friendship! if it's a romance fic i hope that friendship still has a big place in it (especially for 5sos if it isn't a romantic ot4). for the third one, let's say hurt/comfort. i've been really liking that trope lately!

[g-b-m-s]

For my ride-or-die @mltrefry-ficwriter who never asks "Shouldn't you be writing?" when I do random stupid shit.

[talktomegooseman]

“No, Tim, why is it here?” She looked at him.

He returned the look, but had a bit of confusion on his face, “It’s part of my master plan to get Dick and Kory together. It’s pretty genius, right?”

“No,” She stepped into the living room, noticing more was placed around the house, “I don’t want to see Dick and Kory kissing or Conner and Gar!”

He turned in her direction, still confused, “Why would Conner and Gar be kissing?”

Rachel looked at him, clearly irritated by his lack of understanding, “You’re unbelievable.”

Tim attempts to get Dick and Kory under the mistletoe.
