Written for the CS Secret Santa event on Tumblr. Emma Swan has done a lot of crazy things in her life. But befriending and (eventually) falling in love with her son's favorite author? Yeah, this might be the craziest one yet.

What starts out as a simple apple picking trip for Emma Swan takes an unexpected twist when she discovers that the nice connection she's finding between herself and the farm's owner Killian Jones might be something more profound and, for Emma, terrifying than she bargained for. Modern AU with a good deal of fluff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Emma regrets her decision to go along on the Nolan's ski trip when Killian's luggage shows up but hers doesn't. She regrets it even more when they're the only two whose flight gets in on time...or does she?

"But it's the way Killian puts an extra foot between them and the way he clenches his now empty hand into a fist at his thigh that makes her eyes sting worse than the allergy she had throughout the whole first month of being Princess Emma of the Enchanted Forest." My Valentine's Day gift for @snarkycaptainswan4!
