12 Fics of Christmas

[phnx]

In celebration of this holiday season but really to throw more fics in your faces, I'm presenting you with this list of 12 Fics of Christmas(+Extras). I had planned to send you a fic a day and then post the whole list on Christmas, but then I decided that I might actually feel bad spamming you that way.

These are not, of course, mandatory reading. If you have other Christmas/holiday fics that you enjoyed, I'd love it if you'd link them in a comment. As DILF is already our official reading for this month, it is not included on this list.


Day 1:

It's a Wild Pitch (But He's a Contact Hitter), by jettiebettie
--It's not a Christmas fic, but it's so very wintery =D.--
Published: 2013-05-13 | Words: 11,828 | M | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
They're combating supernatural forces with blunt instruments now. Seems legit. As long as Stiles doesn't end up getting frostbite, he's willing to roll with it. Not that his friends have to worry about that. Fucking werewolves.

Day 2:

snow day, by kellifer_fic
--Still not actually a Christmas fic; Stiles is an abominable snowman. It's SEASONAL.--
Published: 2013-10-06 | Words: 8,316 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
“It’s not a big deal. It just happens when I’m… cold,” Stiles offers, scratching gingerly at his head with a claw and then grimacing at it like it’s betraying him.

“Are you serious?”

“Hey, who are you to judge, wolfman?”

Day 3:

Glad Tidings, by stilinskisparkles
--A domestic Christmas fic.--
Published: 2014-01-17 | Words: 24,166 | M | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
“Eight people are going to be descending on our home in a mere matter of days, Derek.” Stiles grabs the pizza box, uses it to gesture at the pile of books and papers under the table, away and towards Derek’s sneaker collection. “You want them to think we live like this all the time?”

“We do live like this all the time,” Derek huffs, stretching lazily.

Day 4:

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble, by pandacowhipster
--A Harry Potter / Teen Wolf fusion. Christmas happens during it. Twice, even!--
Published: 2012-06-05 | Words: 13,363 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
When potions prodigy Stiles blows up one cauldron too many during one of his ‘experiments’, he gets assigned to making Wolfsbane Potion for the new groundskeeper. Which wouldn’t be so bad if the guy wasn’t you know, terrifying.

Day 5:

We're All Freaks Here / BPRD Christmas Special, by pandacowhipster
--A Hellboy / Teen Wolf Fusion. The sequel is obviously the Christmas fic, but I don't think it really works as a standalone.--

There are things that go bump in the night, make no mistake.
These are the dudes that bump back.

Nothing says Christmas like a yeti mauling.

Day 6:

When You Stop Believing in Santa You Get Underwear, by owlpostagain
--A Christmas canonverse fic, pre-season 3.--
Published:2012-12-24 | Words: 7,817 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
There are some salvageable things though. A virtually untouched heavy slate sign that says, engraved in an ornate script that confirms at least one person in the Hale family had a sense of humor (Stiles has a horrible suspicion it might have been Peter), When You Stop Believing in Santa You Get Underwear.

Day 7:

12 Days of Hale Publishing, by relenafanel
--A Christmas office!AU.--
Published: 2012-12-10 | Words: 7,533 | G | No Archive Warnings Apply
Something must have poked his Christmas Spirit. It might be the way Hale was watching the proceedings with a scowl on his face, unable to hide what was clear derision. Earlier, his eyes had lifted when Stiles entered the work pen with the presents, and Stiles had been under the impression he had been vaguely pleased. The only thing Stiles could think of that would make someone such a gloomy grump was not getting a gift.

“What?” Hale asked, staring at him through the glass wall that made up the part of his office facing the work area.

“I’ve got something for you!” Stiles said, waving the small rectangular present as he walked in.

“That’s not mine,” Mr. Hale said, staring at the box like it offended him. Then he stared at Stiles like he was offending him more. “You’ve made a mistake.”

“No mistake, sir. It’s a special delivery from magical Hale Holiday Elves.” Stiles gestured to his head. “See the hat. A man wearing this hat makes no mistakes.”

Day 8:

Cupboard Love, by mklutz
--An everybody lives AU fic. Because the Christmas scene is easily the most memorable part of this fic.--
Published:2012-09-08 | Words: 32,682 | G | No Archive Warnings Apply
He’s carefully balancing the sandwiches and the two biggest tupperware containers he could find that both had functioning lids when the front door opens and he almost drops everything right there in front of the stupid fountain.

If that’s Derek Hale, he’s definitely not a mountain man.

Day 9:

Don We Now Our Gay Fake Boyfriends, by relenafanel
--A Christmas Office AU.--
Published:2013-01-03 | Words: 14,575 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
“What happened to your sweet Camaro?” Stiles asked.

“His sister borrowed it,” Erica said cheerfully. “Drove to Lake Tahoe for the holidays and left him here without transportation and fending for himself.”

This was... perfect, actually. Stiles needed a fake date and Derek needed a drive. “I’ll tell you what, I’ll drive you to and from the party and in return I get to tell Mrs. Gordon you’re my date.”

“Fine.” Derek nodded.

Yes! Stiles had a fake date to the Holiday Party!

Day 10:

Gift Shop, by Trelkez
--An everybody lives Christmas AU fic.--
Published:2013-11-26 | Words: 5,854 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
The Christmas sweater alone should have sent any rational person running; the terrible customer service and delight in Derek's suffering were just icing.

Day 11:

Winter Wonderland, by otter
--Christmas North Pole AU. Stiles is a yedi.--
Published: 2013-12-25 | Words: 4,868 | G | No Archive Warnings Apply
Stiles is profoundly suspicious of the city that sits on the barren ice sheet at the North Pole. His friend Scott doesn't seem to mind being an elf-slave, and liberating the captive reindeer was not Stiles' best idea ever, but a little recon inside the city walls is too tempting to pass up.

Day 12:

hooked on (dangling by a yarn), by extantecstacy
--A canonverse Christmas AU, pre-season 3.--
Published:2012-12-01 | Words: 19,132 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
One hundred days, ten scarves, one Christmas, and Stiles' dormant magic has to ruin everything.

Extras:

(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To, by Swing Set in December (swing_set13)
--I would have included this in the main list, but I thought that two Harry Potter fusions might be over-doing it. It's part of a series, but I think it works as a standalone fic as well.--
Published: 2012-01-27 | Words: 1,107 | T+ | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Wherein Stiles is dateless, Derek needs a date and the Yule ball is fast approaching.

But, Doctor!, by stilinskisparkles
--A doctor!AU. Christmas happens during this fic.--
Published: 2013-12-11 | Words: 30,266 | M | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
“We had to splint a girl’s leg in a ditch,” Scott says excitedly.

“Bro, you sound way too happy about that,” Stiles complains, opening up his bag and pulling out a Twinkie.

Derek removes it from his hand silently and replaces it with an apple. Stiles scowls at him for a second then bites into it, regardless. Derek sits back and lets the group discuss the merits of dramatic lifesaving feats for winning over the ladies. Scott is convinced it’ll help impress Allison; Isaac thinks Scott’s a loser. Stiles—

Stiles is falling asleep on Derek’s shoulder.

I Saw Stiles Kissing Santa Claus, by rlnerdgirl
--As someone who wasn't raised on any Santa Claus myths, this fic is a little infuriating to me, just like all fics that include lying to kids about Santa. Still, it's cute.--
Published: 2012-12-21 | Words: 2,176 | G | No Archive Warnings Apply
Uncle Stiles is the best uncle ever. If there was an award for Best Uncle of All Time, Uncle Stiles would win it. I would vote for him, and so would all my friends, and he would totally win, because, not only does he let me play with glitter (really, that’s a big deal, I don’t want you to forget that), but he’s taking me to see Santa. Not the santa at the smelly, crowded, outside Farmer’s Market that Mommy and Daddy took me to on the weekend, but the real Santa, the one in the city, at the mall.

Secret Santa, by rainbowninja167
--This is the one that you thought I was talking about, roguemariel.--
Published: 2013-12-23 | Words: 7,543 | T+ | No Archive Warnings Apply
Derek is already thoroughly sick of Christmas by the time Erica bullies him into dressing up as Santa for a holiday charity. It was only supposed to take a couple hours. Until some kid starts accosting him all over Beacon Hills, insisting that Derek is the real Santa.

A Christmas Retail Story, by rlnerdgirl
--All human AU. Retail stalking!--
Published: 2012-12-17 | Words: 4,328 | G | No Archive Warnings Apply
Derek likes to spend his downtime between book contracts doing something calming, relaxing, and just for him. Unfortunately, this holiday season his sister has other things in mind, which is how he finds himself working in the women's department at Macy's. He might, just a little bit (or maybe a lot), want to kill himself. Or Laura.

The one reprieve he gets is Stiles, the only customer who knows exactly what he wants each and every time he pops in, complete with item number and size. Derek may or may not be developing a crush on him. So it's too bad all Stiles buys are ridiculously expensive things that are, most likely, for his extremely lucky girlfriend.

Looks like it works? Except for specific font size adjustments.
