Summary
What do you get when a sharp-tongued spinster strikes a bargain with the most fearsome duke in England?
Lady Emma Swan is not most women. With her beloved sister dangling on the edge of a disastrous engagement to a predatory earl, she does what she does best — she thinks three moves ahead and charges straight toward danger with very little regard for consequences. If that danger happens to be the infamously terrifying Duke of Hookshire… well, she’s faced worse. Probably.
Killian Jones, the Duke of Hookshire is scarred, snarling, and perfectly content to terrify every soul within a ten-mile radius of his estate. He doesn't want company. He doesn't want a wife. And he absolutely, categorically does not want Emma Swan storming through his doors and refusing to be intimidated.
She needs him as a means to an end. He tells himself she is nothing but a nuisance. They are both, spectacularly, wrong.

Lead Us Into Temptation (And Don't Deliver Us From Evil) by nicolebaka
Fandoms: Lucifer (TV)
09 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
Mixing up dates? Usually harmless. But when you accidentally drag the literal Devil to an anti-Satan sermon instead of an old family friend's celebration, "awkward" doesn't quite cover it. Especially when you deliver the ultimate "meet my boyfriend" moment, leaving the congregation clutching their pearls and Satan clutching his heart.
In which Lucifer has way too many comments on the Bible, and Chloe plays the Devil’s advocate.

Summary
"Everyone has their quirks, right? Some people collect porcelain kittens. Others can't start their day without alphabetizing their cereal boxes. And her? Well, she was apparently developing a thing for glowing red eyes. Not just any glowing red eyes—specifically the ones belonging to her partner, who happens to be the actual Devil. If Dr. Linda ever got wind of that little detail, she’d probably slap her with a twice-weekly therapy regimen and enough medication to sedate a bull."
In which Chloe develops a fetish for red eyes, and Lucifer misinterprets, as usual.

Shadows of Forever by nicolebaka for mionedray (hooked_on_green_apples)
Fandoms: Once Upon a Time (TV)

Summary
Emma Swan's day is going terribly. She's stuck in the underworld with only fragments of memory, her only guide is an irritatingly handsome rogue who speaks in riddles, and the realm itself seems determined to either kill her or make her remember things she's pretty sure never happened. (Except they did happen. Maybe. Possibly in another lifetime.)
As Emma and Killian navigate through a landscape of shifting shadows and darker truths, they can't shake the feeling that they've played this game before—and lost. But this time might be different, if they can trust each other long enough to uncover why the underworld feels less like hell and more like a very deadly case of déjà vu.Written for Captain Swan Secret Santa 2024
