Holiday!Fic Recs  
With the holiday season starting up this week (at least in the USA) I figured I would round up a few themed recs! These are some of the fics I've read and loved in multiple different fandoms that have something to do with the holidays, from Thanksgiving to the New Year. :D

Title: In the Aisles and Between the Pages
Author: [livejournal.com profile] writing2death | favicon writing2death
Pairing(s): Aaron Hotchner/Spencer Reid
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 6,177
Content/Notes: AU, bottom!reid, holiday!fic
Summary: In which Reid is a used bookshop owner and not quite content. Hotch kind of knocks him right off kilter.
This was such a sweet semi-AU, with some of the gang with BAU and some not. Reid was just too adorable here!

Notes: AU, bottom!harry, accidental exhibitionism, oneshot
Summary: Harry hadn’t expected to spend Christmas Eve bent over the back of his sofa, having his brains buggered out by Draco Malfoy, but that’s exactly what happened.
Love this. The sex was so hot, and Hermione interruption is quite funny. And a super sweet ending! :D

Title: On Call
Author: [livejournal.com profile] faithwood
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~4,200
Notes: auror!harry, auror!draco, bottom!harry, holiday!fic, hd erised fest 2013
Summary: For the rest of his life, Draco will blame what happened this Christmas on the fact that he hadn't thought to bring a book.
This fic is so awesome! Draco was hilarious, the sex was hot, and I loved the ending!

Title: Come Now, and Let Me Dream it Truth
Author: [livejournal.com profile] insuladraconis

Wordcount: 14,361
Rating: PG-13
Notes: AU: Non-Magical, lawyer!harry, unusual job

This is just such a sweet, fluffy fic.

Title: Twenty-four Reasons to Remember

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 17,700
Notes: established relationship, switching, holiday!fic
Summary: Harry has almost forgotten what it is to be happy in love and life, until Draco gives him twenty-four chances to remember.
Slightly less fluffy than most advent fics, but not too angsty! Draco and Harry are busy with work and haven't really made their relationship a priority. Draco wants them to be remember why they work well together and fell in love, so he come up with an advent calendar of sorts to help Harry remember. This was touching, and sweet, and realistic, and sexy.

Title: There’s a Light at the Top of the Stairs
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dannyfranx
Pairing: Draco/Harry
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 45,341
Warnings: original characters, serious obliviousness, earworm Christmas songs. This story is set in Turn glimpse!verse [used with permission of the author!] and while it will stand alone, some parts will make more sense if you have read Turn, by [livejournal.com profile] saras_girl.
Notes: holiday!fic, eighth year
Summary: It’s the first Christmas after the war and Harry and Draco have a date with a dead hydrangea bush... they just don’t know it yet.
If you've read Turn (and if you haven't, go read it now!) this fic is especially fun! It is set in the glimpse!verse and details how Harry and Draco get together. It's lovely and sweet and so much fun! The side characters are great and it is lovely seeing all of these background details from the turn!verse get a little bit of back-story!

Title: Sealed with a Kiss
Author: [livejournal.com profile] faithwood
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 47,000
Notes: switching, eighth year, mind altering substance: potion
Summary: A Christmassy Hogwarts fic in which Harry is a love bomb, Draco has a plan, Millicent recites sonnets, and everyone misunderstands everything. Wait, that summary sucks, let me try again: Kissy fic filled with kisses. Better? No. Okay.
Fun and sexy love potion fic with a twist!

Word Count: 61,080 in total
Warnings: original characters, pining, shameless festivity, severe lack of high drama, holiday!fic

This was a great fic with oblivious!Harry living and working with Draco, realizing he is in love with him and coming to terms with what that means and how that will affect their relationship. The characters in this are all so wonderful and I especially love Draco and the lovely OC Nisha.

Word Count: 2,250

Summary: I was drunk, and randy, and frustrated, and pissed, and so bloody sick of watching James and Lily all over each other. So I made the most stupid New Year Resolution in the history of the wizarding kind.
First person, which I normally do not go for at all, but I love the dirty talk in this one. And the premise is just so perfectly Sirius.

Title: Cards on the Table
Author: [livejournal.com profile] eprime
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: James Sirius/Teddy

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 5,116

Summary: "Right. It was New Year's Day. Well, it wouldn't be the first time he'd started out the year in a stranger's bedroom. At least this time he was wearing pants."

Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 21,173

Summary: Kirk is secretly in love with his first officer. Spock is secretly intoxicated by chocolate. Add in an away mission, a day in the snow, and a hot brown beverage (hint: it isn’t coffee).
Adorable holiday!fic with horny, drunk Spock and poor Kirk who is totally in love with him but refuses to take advantage. Sexy and cute.

Title: Closer

Pairing(s): James T. Kirk/Spock
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 11,724
Warnings: AU: Academy, professor!spock, teacher/student relationship, first time, k/s advent 2011, holiday!fic
Summary: Academy AU. Kirk has a massive crush on Spock and convinces the professor to go on dates with him, although nothing happens (Jim can delay gratification, really he can!). Finally Spock caves in over the holidays.
Sweet, wonderfully paced Academy AU. I loved the development of their relationship here and their connection was lovey.

Title: Bragging Rights

Pairing(s): James T. Kirk/Spock
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 19,897

I love Academy AU's and this one is fabulous. Love the bet and how it helps to give Kirk the opportunity to really get to know Spock. The development of their relationship was wonderful and the ending! So awesome. :D

Title: Riverside
Author: [livejournal.com profile] laylafic | favicon ayesakara
Pairing(s): James T. Kirk/Spock, past Spock/Uhura
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 39,360
Content/Warnings: rimming, bottom!kirk, implied switching, holiday!fic, k/d advent 2010
Summary: The Enterprise is docked at Earth Station McKinley for repairs and upgrades over the holiday season. Jim invites his friend Spock to join him at his family home in Iowa, where he presumes the house to be empty, but his mother unexpectedly shows up. Things have never been easy between Jim and his mother, and now Spock is caught in the middle of a family rift. How will he ease the tension between his friend, for whom his feelings run deeper than he has let on, and Winona Kirk?
Such a lovely holiday fic! The relationship between Kirk and Spock is so wonderful and sweet, but dealing with Kirk's past and his tense relationship with his mother prevents the fic from feeling overly fluffy. And the sex is really fantastic. The kissing alone was just so sexy.

Title: Terrarium
Author: [livejournal.com profile] mollyamory | favicon Molly
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7,511
Warnings: holiday!fic, tw fall harvest fest 2013
Summary: The Nemeton (which Stiles feels less as a darkness than as constant certainty that something horrible is about to happen) acknowledges Derek's return with only a faint, unconcerned mutter that sinks immediately back into its usual background grumbling.
This fic was perfect. Just the right balance of darkness and sweet. I loved all of the character interactions and characterizations.

Title: Coming Home
Author: favicon sheafrotherdon
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 9,951
Warnings: holiday!fic

Author: [livejournal.com profile] venivincere | favicon Venivincere
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 11,124
Warnings: holiday!fic, tw fall harvest fest 2013
Summary: Derek Hale is having a good day. Something has obviously gone very, very wrong.
Canon 3A compliant, Derek is back in Beacon Hills and everything is going right. He runs into Stiles at the store while grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and gets invited over. there are so family Thanksgiving family feels in this one and I love Derek's development and his relationship with Stiles. Just a lovely holiday piece.

Title: A Christmas Hale
Author: favicon Captain_Loki
Pairing(s): Stiles/Derek
Rating: Hard R
Word Count: 14,298
Warnings: holiday!fic
Summary: The boys spend Christmas together. There's copious amounts of sarcasm, some sharing of emotions and somewhere along the lines feelings develop.
This fic was just perfect. I love how lonely they both felt and how that sort of drew them together. The friendship evolution is beautiful and realistic and the holiday aspect wasn't too overdone.

Title: Dances With Wolves | favicon dww2013
Authors/Artists: favicon list of contributors
Pairings: Stiles/Derek, Danny/Ethan, Melissa/Sheriff, Lydia/Aiden, Allison/Scott/Isaac
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 59,134
Notes holiday!fic, bottom!derek, sterek christmas calendar 2013
Summary: Two months after the events of the Nemeton, it’s safe to say that Beacon Hills has gone back to the small and quiet town it once was. No animal attacks or strange deaths. No creepy blind man or maniac teacher running about. For the first time in nearly a year, Stiles and his friends can go back to the lives of ordinary teenagers. (Despite half of them not being ordinary at all.) Christmas is coming, and the news of a winter school dance at the end of the semester leaves Isaac terrified and Stiles unbelievably dateless.
It’s funny how both their problems are solved by the same person.
This is such a wonderful holiday fic that takes place after the events of 3A. Loved the development of the relationship and their connection was so well-written!
