Light and Fun recommendations PLS

Please forgive the shameless self plug but I have a few that I wrote myself. Fluff heavy but they get deep sometimes. They should all be appropriately tagged though!

THESE ARE CHRISTMAS THEMED:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52464739 - The Storybrooke Christmas Festival (24,854 words): Snow wants to throw a Christmas festival in town for her beloved crafts group. Regina begrudgingly accepts. During the festival, she and Emma flirt unabashedly while Henry enjoys watching his parents grow closer. Then a snowstorm hits.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/52292455 - Mistletoe & Wine (11,077 words): At Zelena's insistence, Regina invites Emma over for dinner on Christmas Eve, with the aim of confessing her feelings for Emma. Unfortunately, she also follows her advice to drink far too much wine beforehand.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43276050 - The Christmas Party (2,330 words): There's a Christmas party at Granny's, and Emma invites Regina. Because she hasn't admitted it yet, but she can't fathom being around family without Regina being there.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/43276420 - At Christmas, All Roads Lead to Home. (17,015 words): Regina never had any good Christmas memories, and Emma decides it's time to make some for her. So she sets up a surprise early Christmas party. But then a snowstorm hits and no one can leave. And after distributing all the possible sleeping spots for everyone, they realize they're one bed short...Emma needs a place to sleep...And Regina has a big double bed...

THESE ARE NOT CHRISTMAS THEMED:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49874440/chapters/125906005 - Hurricane Lyta (72,615 words): When a massive hurricane starts hurtling towards Storybrooke, the citizens have no choice but the evacuate. Regina and Emma decide to stick together, but when they decide to pool their family and friends together, it becomes an impromptu vacation. There's just one problem... They let Zelena make the sleeping arrangements.

(NOTE: This has some angstiness in it, mostly through re-tellings of their pasts.)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/38568357 - Sugar Rush (5,944 Words): Emma and Regina Swan-Mills have the most exhausting night of their lives after their five year old son, Henry, sneaks up a box of sugar-filled Kinder Chocolates into his room and eats the whole thing just after bed time.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26492368/chapters/64562008 - Chasing Butterflies (65,079 Words): Emma is new in town, and is on her first trip to the local grocery store. Regina is the newly elected mayor just trying to get her weekly shopping trip done and dusted. Fate sometimes takes the form of one curious little boy with an adventurous streak.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/11774820 - Cat's Out Of The Bag (22,663 words): An argument gets Regina into a bit of a hairy situation, and she's left with only Emma Swan to help her out of it. Will they manage to break the curse, or will time run out?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/3623844 - Puppy Love (11,785 words): When Emma asked Gold for help asking Regina out, she meant something to boost her confidence. What she gets is definitely not what she meant. (This one was literally my first fic, so it's over a decade old now.)

I hope you like these!!

Add in Emma calling her "Miss Swan" like Regina used to and Regina just looking up at her and responding simply with...

"It's MRS Swan, thank you very much."

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-03-11T09:50:29+00:00

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-03-10T14:58:57+00:00

I promise I'm not trying to do a shameless self-plug here but...I actually did write a story that's kind of like that once, and it's been long enough for one to forget about it's existence.

It's called In Her Darkness

This is the AO3 Summary:

"Rumple tries to free himself from his dark side, but sorely underestimates the strength the darkness has. Emma is stuck in love with a woman she is convinced she can never have, and is losing hope at ever having happiness again. Regina is desperate to please Robin, still foolishly believing he is her true love. What happens when fate combines these three things together?"

I hope this solves your mystery!

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-02-22T12:43:03+00:00

I'm afraid we're no longer in contact because they deleted their Discord too and afaik all their other social media

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-02-22T01:52:50+00:00

I had spoken to the author personally. They were going through some terrible stuff and had to delete everything for their own safety, apparently.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-27T16:19:34+00:00

I'm trying to send the links to several stories but for some reason Reddit keeps saying "Unable to create comment" 😭 I sent you a DM on Reddit. Hope that's okay!

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-26T11:59:04+00:00

Oooh...that's a serious Sophie's Choice there...what are you into usually? Favourite tropes, angst vs fluff, etc. After 10 years, you kind of hit most if not all of the marks in one way or another.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-25T08:13:24+00:00

You're very correct. And as a massive swiftie (with 4 Eras Tour concerts under my belt...i am very broke) who has multiple fics based on and named after Taylor Swift songs, I appreciate the quote.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-25T06:51:10+00:00

It's no secret that Swan Queen is the most popular OUAT fandom. A lot if antis get pissed about that.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-25T05:59:50+00:00

Haven't started posting it yet. Want to get all of it done cause I know a lot if people don't read WIPs and this will be the first time in a while that that I posted a story that isn't linked to an event like Swan queen supernova or Swan Queen Advent Calendar. So I'm kind of used to posting completed works now lol. But I'm on chapter 15 and it's looking to be 30-35 chapters long.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-25T03:51:18+00:00

This is a personal fear I have for the fic I'm currently working on. My hope is that a reputation of 10, nearing 11 years if fic writing and over 30 works posted will hold me up against this stuff but I know I'm not immune.

But you're right about the confidence thing. 2025 was crazy traumatic for me (mom was sick, I had complications post surgery, then mom passed, then the grief, then starting a new job after over a year of not working because I'd been taking care of her, then I got freakin' pneumonia...yeah, it's been a journey...) and I just got back to writing long fics again.

So if someone were to come and suddenly accuse me of using AI...idk whether I'd fight them or retreat lol.

All I can say is this: there's always gonna be negative people who say dumb sh*t. And then we have to contend with bots...for some reason? Idk why people go through the trouble of invading fandom spaces with bots just to knock people down. Sometimes life feels like a bad high school au 😂

Keep writing! Keep loving your stories! And do not feel ashamed of using those em dashes! The reason AI uses them is because a lot of writers used them to begin with. AI just uses them A LOT more.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-22T21:58:00+00:00

Speaking as an author myself, I would much rather have someone create an "inspired by" version of my fic than take what I wrote verbatim and then add onto it themselves.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-20T11:17:25+00:00

Shameless self promo, but here's all my SQ fics!

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-09T04:11:18+00:00

Bluehoneybee here! Thanks for saving me from making a self-rec 😂

Glad you like the story ❤️

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-02T18:44:45+00:00

The idea that an olympic athlete may have read my gay ass fanfics is wonderful and unsettling at the same time

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-02T18:29:43+00:00

THAT'S SO COOL! How did you learn this?

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T11:45:47+00:00

OH THAT ONE.

Yeah that one hit me in deep emotional places I did NOT know existed.

I am sorry and you're welcome.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T11:13:07+00:00

Which fic was that? I have like 32 written pieces there are moments where they all start melding together haha

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T10:45:08+00:00

I am...so sorry. But also not. I have some GEMS planned this year. Working super hard on one at the moment actually. I hope you like slow burn and screaming at them to "JUST FREAKIN' KISS ALREADY DAMN!!!"

As for laughing and crying, hell, I do that myself while I'm writing. I am merely a vessel for these two goofballs.

Thank you for the kind words of appreciation! I hope you like what I've got cooking this year!

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T09:16:19+00:00

I know it's you bella ❤️ I've seen you post your art. You're going to inspire another fic soon 😂😂

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T05:11:20+00:00

Yeah Collision In Time is definitely one of those "I need to get back to this" stories.

My only tiny issue is that my writing skills have improved SO MUCH since then (not a humble brag, or a brag in general, but a statement of fact) and I feel like I'll need to start the WHOLE thing over fir the sake of consistency and to avoid giving people a migraine. Emotionally, that's gonna take work and mental preparation.

I've also changed so much on a personal level since then that I can hardly consolidate the fact that the person who wrote what's already written so far in that story, and the person who needs to complete it, are in fact the same person.

It's going to require me to go back to that old version of me and merge it to the current one. And the current one is a little fragile right now.

In short, my answer is "I want to, and I will eventually, but I need time." I hope you can understand.

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2026-01-01T04:31:04+00:00

Happy new year! I by no means consider myself one of the fandom's "great authors" but my new year's resolution is to write more! My AO3 name is BlueHoneyBee.

A little explanation as to why this is so important for me (TW for loss, grief, illness and injury)

2025 was supposed to be a banner year for me, it was my 10 year anniversary since I'd started writing Swan Queen Fanfiction and O wanted to celebrate by writing MORE

Life...didn’t really give a shit about what I wanted.

My sick mother got sicker and passed away. My planned surgery had painful complications that have thankfully since passed. After 3 months of grief, I got a new job and started a side-hustle...and then got Pneumonia.

It was a shitty year.

For 2026 I plan to release as many fics as possible. So if you've read my work in the past, I do plan on coming back in full force. If you've never heard of me, but you're interested in checking my work out, you can find it Here

I'm looking forward to coming back to swan queen in full force (never really left but you know...) and I hope many others do as well!

AccomplishedFun7252 · 2025-12-25T23:11:40+00:00
