stolen glances and sweet nothings.

Somewhere in between the stolen glances and murmured sweet nothings, Elsa and Hans find themselves falling in love. Stubborn as they are, they would rather deny it than admit their feelings and say it out loud. Little did they know that it's only a matter of time before the ice cracked and they'd have to face the truth.

Or, 5 times Hans and Elsa implicitly declare their love for each other and one time they say it out loud.

Read on AO3. All parts of the story will be posted within the week.

Hi @paradise-of-guilty-pleasures I'm your secret santa (for the second time)! I decided to go with a Post Frozen 2 fanfic, with a dash of denial of feelings. Anyway, I hope you like it. I'll post the rest of the parts within the week. Have a great holiday and happy new year! 💖

[hournites]

Surprise!! I'm your secret santa @camneyshournite !!

[queen-scribbles]

Worthwhile

Happy holidays, @jackalopey I’m your SWtOR Secret Santa! You have so many cool characters, but I have such a soft spot from f!Trooper/Jorgan I couldn’t resist writing for Salama. I hope I got her right, and your holidays were enjoyable.

--- 

Salama had faced down traitors, Senate hearing, an Imperial mastermind, and a prototype dreadnaught. Her closet was proving a greater challenge than any of them. And given the minor personal war she and Jorgan(mostly Jorgan) had waged to get tonight off, she was not going to admit defeat against her wardrobe of all things. She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the underwhelming selection facing her.

“Still having trouble?”

She sighed in answer to Jorgan’s vaguely amused question and tugged the end of her ponytail. “Do you think the restaurant will mind if I wear my dress uniform? Might be the classiest thing I own.”

“You really wanna draw that sort of attention on our night off?” he pointed out with a chuckle and she did have to give him that.

Protecting the Republic was her duty, the gratitude expressed by civilians who occasionally recognized them from the news all well and good. But she didn’t really want it interrupting her first time off with her husband in she-didn’t- remember how long. So Salama let out another sigh. “You’re right. So...” she worried her lower lip between her teeth. “The black one’ll do, I suppose. You’re lucky it’s so easy for you.”

“Yes, lucky I have to wear a tie,” he deadpanned.

“You picked the restaurant, Aric,” Salama reminded him with a quiet laugh, turning to meet his eye. “You have no one to blame but yourself.”

“True.” He leaned in to kiss her forehead. “And it’s a worthwhile sacrifice for time with my wife.”

“Only if she’s dressed in time to make our reservation,” she murmured, but her hand stayed where she’d rested in on his arm and she was hardly moving to pull away.

“Also true.” He kissed the top of her head this time. “And I need to finish getting ready, too.”

She nodded and stepped back to let him go, turning her attention to getting dressed. There was nothing wrong with the aforementioned black dress. It was just a very simple style--as were the few other nicer outfits she owned--and would almost definitely be more understated than the rest of the patrons tonight. But a quality black dress was always in style, or so said the saleswoman, which was why Salama had bought it. She didn’t have frequent enough occasion to dress up for her to worry about the latest trends. A black midcalf halter-top dress was usually a safe bet, on its own or with only minor accessorizing. And it wasn’t the most uncomfortable thing she’d worn, which was a bonus.

Salama paired the dress with beaded flats--no way in hell was she wearing heels--and the necklace Jorgan had given her. She didn’t have much opportunity to wear jewelry, best to take advantage. Her hair went in a simple bun, though she did at least make the concession of leaving a couple loose bits in front to frame her face.

The appreciative glance and quiet whistle her ensemble earned from Jorgan made it more than worth the hassle. Whatever the restaurant staff and other patrons thought.

“Can’t believe I haven’t seen you dress up before,” he commented, tone warm as his gaze lingered on the necklace.

“We haven’t been given an abundance of opportunity since we met,” Salama pointed out, running a self-conscious hand over her hair.

“Still. Much as I appreciate your talent for making durasteel look good, this is...” He cleared his throat. “You look lovely.”

“Thank you.” She sidled closer and linked her arm through his. “You’re looking quite handsome, whatever your feelings toward ties.”

Jorgan laughed and tipped her chin up with his free hand to steal a kiss.  “Thanks. Shall we?”

“If we want to be on time, I suppose we should,” Salama said. It was a warm enough evening she wouldn’t need any sort of jacket or wrap, so she was ready to go.

---

The speeder ride was uneventful, the wait to get in the restaurant bearable, and the security standing outside very subtle. Salama supposed if you were going to gamble on opening a restaurant this nice so close to the Galactic Market sector, you would want good security.

“Wonder how much of their budget goes to paying those guys?” Jorgan murmured as they walked inside. He’d clocked them, too, probably before she did.

“I’d wager only slightly less than the food,” Salama whispered back. But it’s paying off, she mused as Jorgan spoke to the hostess. The place looked to be thriving. They followed her to their table and Salama did her best to hide just how surprised and impressed she was with the quality of the décor. No wonder they had such good security.

“Think we can go the entire meal without talking about work?” Jorgan asked with a wry smile as they took their seats. “Starting now.”

Salama snorted s laugh. “Doubtful, but we can try.” She looked around, searching the nooks of the ceiling for a non-work conversation topic. “I like what they’ve done with this place. You can tell it was a warehouse in a former life, but only if you’re familiar with the area. They made good use of the space.”

He nodded, following her gaze to the wider balcony that had replaced the typical catwalk. “Takes guts to run a place this nice in this part of town, guess you would have to be willing to go all in.”

“I admire them for the effort and they seemed to be doing well,” she said, looking around the mostly full restaurant. “From what I hear the other places are also doing better than alright.”

A serving droid trundled up to get them drinks, bringing the conversation to a brief lull, and it turned to the menu when they resumed. The choices were varied and slightly more expensive than Salama would have expected. She hoped it was good food, to justify the chunk it was taking out of their paychecks. From the smells wafting through the air, she was pretty sure it would be.

---

The food was definitely worth the price. And they mostly succeeded at keeping the conversation away from work. Only two brief gizka trails--remembering Krel and wondering about their next assignment--that were easily steered back on course.

They made their way home comfortably full and far more relaxed than either could remember being for a long time. Given it was still early, they settled on the couch, shoes kicked off--along with Jorgan’s jacket and tie--to enjoy the free night a bit more.

“That was a good time,” Salama said lazily, leaning against his shoulder with her feet stretched toward the far end of the couch. ”Thank you for dinner.”

Jorgan hummed a quiet laugh. “Glad you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for covering the tip.”

She bit back a smile. “Thank you for not making me twist your arm too hard about that.”

This laugh was louder, and she felt it rumble in his chest. “I know better than to stand in your way when you set your mind to something.” He gave a contented sigh and slipped his arm around her waist. “We needed something like this...”

“MM-hm,” Salama hummed, feeling about as drowsy as Jorgan sounded. Whatever the price tag, whatever assignment awaited them in the morning, tonight had been very worthwhile.

🎁 Rosè and Denali go to a Winter Festival (Rosnali) for Berry - Mock-Star

SECRET QUEEN 2022 by @mock-star-aq

this is a pinch sarcastic, a little experimental, a little cheesy, and 100% pure fluff. I really hope you like it.

After the sun set on a chilly December day, Rosè and Denali approached the square where the winter festival was being held. They smelled candied nuts before they saw the bright lights, first seeing the tip of the giant Christmas tree, and then seeing the string lights that spanned the entirely of the festival. They could see small figures skating and eating and playing, and as they got closer, they could see parents with their young children lined up to meet Santa, and holding various treats for them as they nibbled on them, breaking off pieces for themselves. They could see couples sitting at tables together, eating and drinking or just holding hands and talking. They could see groups of friends hanging out, groups of teenagers and elderly people at a wreath making lesson together, laughing and just enjoying being together. As soon they crossed the threshold, they made a beeline for the skating rink, Rosè going to the rental booth and Denali slipping on her own skates. 

The ice was crowded, but manageable. All the same, they held onto each other as they stepped on the ice, almost immediately almost getting run over by a young kid zooming around the ice so fast you would think they were an Olympian. They skated about 5 laps, doing it more so they could say they did so, holding hands the entire time. After taking their skates off, they made a beeline for the food booths, getting mulled wine and candied almonds and latkes and mac and cheese, finding an empty table to sit down with their spoils, toasting with their drinks before they dug in. 

After they ate, they explored the rest of the festival, people-watching as they took in the festivities, leaning into each other, mostly for warmth, but also in genuine appreciation for each other's presence. They did some more shopping, for little trinkets and presents. One of the last things they bought was an ornament customized with their names and the year, because of course. The last thing they bought was a carrot, because they walked right past where the "reindeer" (ponies with antler headbands) were, and one of them headbutted Denali, so they had to stop because it's the law. As they crossed the threshold again, they stopped to look up at the night sky, sharing a brief kiss as a flurry of snow started to fall, dusting their shoulders as they walked back home.

Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Rewatch: 1x10 Dirty Little Secrets

Oh God, it’s HER! The Woman in the Well is gonna be in this episode and I am not okay. She is legit the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen or heard so I will not be looking at her. I really hope I don’t see her by accident!

Cyrus was such a little sh*t back in the day. I still love him though. Cool to see he’s not perfect.

I think Cyrus is the middle brother, right?

What bastards! How did they find out where the brother’s lived? Cheating doesn’t warrant getting your house set on fire. Their poor mother!  

Will (about his bottle): “There’s not a lot of elbow room. And do you know what else there isn’t.” Alice: “Please don’t tell us.” Will: “A toilet!” God, I love there dynamic and for real, I was thinking that! Poor Cyrus, all that time with no toilet, no bath. Where’s a genie supposed to go?  

Anastasia: “Magical waters flow underneath all of the lands.” That reminds me of what August said to Emma in 1x13: “Water is a very powerful thing. Cultures as old as time have worshiped it. It flows throughout all lands, connecting the entire world. If anything had mystical properties, if anything had magic... well, I'd say it'd be water.” I guess that’s how mermaids can travel across realms. And it seems you can summon the guardian of the well from anywhere. Jesus Christ, she better not crawl out of my bath!! #neverusingwateragain  

The Jabberwocky: “... or would you rather talk about your 2 children, who are being bathed by their mother in the river as we speak? ‘How quickly can she get there?’, you're wondering. ‘How will she k*ll them? Will she have mercy on the baby?’ The answers are... very fast, very slow, and no. I don't care much for babies.” Got she’s chilling.

I wonder what she whispered to him. Something about Lizard?

The Jabberwocky’s definitely a telepath.  

Eww gross! Gross! Can’t believe they took out Lizard’s- now googly- eyes and are using them to see what she saw. Can’t they just use a dreamcatcher or something, like Emma used with Pongo. I guess it wouldn’t work because she’s dead. Poor Lizard.

I’m feeling sick looking at those!  

Apparently, Jafar’s chant; “De visu intueri. Visione revelare” is latin for “to look out of sight. To reveal a vision” according to good old, untrusty google translate.

It’s interesting that Jafar uses so much Latin to cast his spells. I don’t remember if we saw any other characters in Ouat use it. Maybe Amara taught him a whole other type of magic.

Alice: “Are you looking forward to seeing your brothers again?” Me: “You know who I’m freaking not looking forward to seeing again?!”

Rabbit really needs a break.

Wow. Ana really wants to help now. Good for her!

Jabber’s having so much fun playing peekaboo with Ana.

It’s like Jabber’s voice is coming from inside Ana’s head. So cool!

Oh snap! She’s been impaled! That looks painful!  

The way Jabber looks hurt and then starts laughing in a taunting manner.  

Ouch! And then just freaking stretches her way through the swords hilt like it’s nothing!

Ana looks like she’s going to collapse.

Oh, it’s fine, Jabber headbutted her unconscious instead haha!  

Jabber’s having so much fun. You go girl!

I love Ana too, but I just want Jabber to thrive, okay??

Love this door riddle.  

Everything he says is a lie so does that mean none of the doors lead to certain doom?

JESUS CHRIST!! My computer messed up, so I had to fast forward back to where I was, and I accidently saw some of the Guardian’s face and I am not okay!! Ngl, kinda terrified right now.

Be brave, Becky. Be brave. Whenever I’m scared, I try to think of myself as Charming wielding my sword and ready to face whatever comes for me. It really helped me because I used to be frightened of my own shadow. I still can be but it’s nowhere near what it used to be. Anyway, gonna pick up one of my toy swords and cuddle it for the remainder of this episode.

Okay, here she comes. Not looking. Not looking.

Why does she talk like that?! I want my mummy!  

Well, at least she said sorry for their suffering.  

So, is that riddle guy a human who’s been given instructions to tell lies or is he some sort of creature who can only tell lies?

Oh, he disappeared. Must be some sort of magical illusion.

Well done Alice for figuring that out! She’s actually pretty clever. I always forget that.

Jafar must be confused about Ana’s sudden change of accent.

Jafar: “It would never have worked out between us!” So, were they, like, together romantically? I’m so confused about that.

Now he’s stroking her forehead with his nose. What went on between them? Or are they just like that?

She’s coming again, isn’t she? Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.  

Their mum’s okay!

And the big reveal! Cyrus’ mother is Amara! I think I remember this absolutely shook me.  

They’re so happy!

Tell him where his mummy is!

Please.

Also, don’t hurt me.

Amara: “She’s coming for you.” AAAAAAAAAH!

My worst nightmare! Run for your lives!!

I’m not watching her, but I know she just emerges from the water in the floor and that is the creepiest sh*t ever.

My mum and I always joke that because of her dreads, she’s Jamaican and we randomly say, “give me back me watah!!” in a scary Jamaican accent, while imitating her, to frighten each other. We’re of Jamaican descent, so it brings us endless joy.  

Will: “You know she can't hurt you.” Jabber: “I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you. You've suffered so much. You've already lived a life of fear, haven't you? You believe that if the prince had chosen you instead of your stepsister, then... your mother would have loved you. And now you fear that love is forever out of reach, and that deep, dark hole in your heart will remain empty... a hollow reminder... of the life you could have had. [ Laughs ] [ Inhales deeply ] Can you feel me inside that head of yours, drifting from room to room? I can see... everything. There's a darkness in you. It's like a disease. It's rotting you from the inside. You ran away from the only love you've ever had, and now you fear... ...you'll never get it back. You and I have something in common now. We both know exactly who you are. And you're terrified that it's only a matter of time before he knows, too. You can't ever get his love back. [ Gasps ] But that's not really what you want. Is it? Or you never would have donned that crown all those years ago. You made the right choice. Do it again. Wish for your precious... precious... crown.” Jabber’s powers are so cool! I love what she does. She is absolutely destroying poor Ana by getting in her head. Also, come on, a stepsister and a prince? She’s gotta be Cinderella’s stepsister, right?

Oh my God and the way she makes her wish for her crown and jewels. They seem like such silly items in the grand scheme of things, and she’s forced to wish for them, reminding her of the life she chose over Will. It was all worthless without love.

If I was Ana, I’d wish for a Pizza. At least you can do more than wear a pizza.

She can’t bear to see Will hurt.

You can tell Jabber is actually doing something inside Ana’s head. We can only see half of what she’s doing to affect her. She gives new meaning to the phrase, “messing with your head.”

That was such an awesome scene! I wish every ouat and ouatiw character was put through this so we could learn each of their deepest fears. So, I want a spin off series called: Fun Therapy Sessions with Jabber right before Therapy Sessions with Archie. I kinda wanna make a fic series about this. I’m a hurt/comfort gal, what can I say? If anyone wants a to write this, I’ll give you all my cookies!

Sweet of Tweedledum to still care about the Red Queen even though she was awful to him.

Cyrus: “Alice, you followed me. How much did you see?” Alice: “Oh not much. Just enough to give me nightmares for the rest of my life.”

Only 3 episodes left! I’m not ready to say goodbye! This series is awesome!
