Merry Christmas @forestiyari from your CS Secret Santa! I hope you have a great holiday with your family (and find some time to relax too!) Here is your gift, a friends to lovers/secret relationship fic with some Christmas fluff and feels 🙂
Rated T, 3.5K, Modern AU
It’s Mary Margaret’s turn to pick
what to watch, which inevitably leads them to watch Love Actually for the
fourth time since the start of December. Emma groans but Killian holds his
tongue, quite enjoying the familiarity of the British film, and admittedly, the
sentiment warms his heart. He would call himself a quiet romantic, not quite
the outspoken hopeless romantic that Mary Margaret is, but he was a sucker for
a beautiful love story and a happy ending.
Which is why his attraction to
Emma Swan is so damn difficult to deal with.
Summary: There are a few things that Emma Swan is absolutely certain about; no morning is tolerable without at least one cup of coffee, all marriage is a sham, and if a stupidly handsome guy walks into her tiny flower shop with a massive order for flower arrangements six weeks before a wedding, he’s damn well going to have to help her.

A/N: Finaly, my CSLB is here! It feels like so long ago when I started this little project, and I’m excited to finally set it free into the world. I want to thank my phenomenal artists who gifted me with the most incredible pieces of artwork for this story; the above painting is by the magnificent @ladyciaramiggles, and the three accompanying image sets by the wonderful @captainodonoghue depicting our favourite lovebirds can be found here, here, and here. And, of course, where would I be without my beta, @wellhellotragic? Thank you all for all of your encouragement and kind words! It’s been a great time 🙂
Enjoy!
Emma Swan had never been a tidy person.
It was a fact that surprised most people who knew of her less than stable upbringing, with more than one ex-boyfriend having pointed out that someone who had grown up in the foster system ought to know better than to leave their possessions sprawled all over the place. Sometimes Emma would reply that it was habit to want to leave her mark on a place and take full possession of a space that belonged solely to her. Most times, though, she would simply shrug. The mess of empty take out containers had always been there before her dates had arrived, and if her dating history were anything to go by, they would likely outlast all of them as well.
Emma Swan is good at running- running towards danger and away from feelings. But on her return to Storybrooke she can’t run from the fact she’s pregnant with Walsh’s child, she really must make a decision on what she’s going to do and who she can trust to support her through it.

(A note from the artist: oh my god this fic??? is amazing. the most unique and meaningful take on the S3 Finale AU I’ve ever read. heed the warnings as the content isn’t for the faint of heart, but is ultimately so, so worthwhile.)
Actually I had a favor to ask. I know we’ve just met and all but I really need this and I have been stuck for a while and now…” Killian started rambling and he didn’t see her shifting away from him.
“You’re not gonna propose to me… are you?” Emma fixed him with a wary look.
“Ohh… no no… I mean, see the thing is, the way you were describing places and people around… it gave me a fresh outlook that I had been seriously lacking for quite some time. I wanted to ask whether I could accompany you around.
