   Summary

   It had been more than six months since May and JJ was still a mess of emotions and grief while she was trying to heal. Christmas was coming up fast, and in a desperate attempt to bring back the holiday magic to her home, she had taken over the responsibilities of hosting the BAU Christmas party. In between Christmas shopping and wrapping presents, decorating and cookie baking, twenty years of feelings between her and the woman who had become her rock started to untangle themselves. Who knows what a little bit of well-placed mistletoe could do...

   OR

   Twenty years of feelings all catch up when JJ and Emily try to honor the age-old tradition of the mistletoe.
