It´s barely the 23rd over here, I might be a bit early, but then toDAY will be packed with stuff to do, so here you go:

The Mistletoe Fairy by Jojo

It´s been recced quite recently, but as I just love it and it´s hot and full of promise and I wanna present a whole new story, too, I just HAD to put it in the Calendar today.
It´s an AU and it´s not all sunshine, but - well, what can I say, I just love it!

And here´s the ficlet I received from [livejournal.com profile] byslantedlight in the Fandom Cards Exchange over at the [livejournal.com profile] the_safehouse:


Mistletoe Kisses by Slantedlight!

It seemed impossible that Bodie had never seen mistletoe before, but
he swore he hadn't.  "Not much of it around the Wirral," he'd pointed
out, "Or Africa."

There'd not been much in the depths of Derby either, or most of the
towns Doyle'd been dragged around, growing up, but the one thing his
Mum had insisted on doing when he was little was taking them out on
the bus, two days before Christmas, to some scrappy part of the
countryside that her Mum had taken her to, and they'd hunted
for trees with their bushes of strange greenery, their berries and
their exotic promise - another world, the mistletoe whispered
at him, there are other worlds...

And now Bodie whispered to him, under that mistletoe, and he held him
and he kissed him, over and again.  "Got all those years to make up
for," he'd say, snatching at Doyle again as he walked under the
doorway.  So Doyle kissed him.  He kissed him for the Wirral, and he
kissed him for Africa, and most of all he kissed him for being Bodie,
for being Doyle's entire world.



Isn´t it just the sweetest christmas story ever??
The last line!
And the loooong sentence about going on a bus, and the way they Kiss over and again!
And just all of it!!! *squeeeee*

That's gorgeous! (I hope she's reading this.)

I have Jojo's story lurking on my computer ready to be uploaded to my Kindle - thanks for reminding me!
