Joining the other late ones in adding my sincerest apologies for the lateness of this fic. Had I known that my muse would pack her bags and move out shortly after joining SpySanta, I wouldn't have committed to it. Still, here is my offering...

Title: The Life
Author: Em aka oldromantic
For: carrie1982
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Not mine. Wish they were.
Spoilers: Beyond The Horizon *snicker* (5x09)
Original Request: Sydney's forgotten Birthday by the one she loves (Vaughn), a broken heart and tears.
Notes: Angst. Why did it have to be angst!?! Well, Carrie, I hope this suffices. :P Enjoy! (And sorry it’s so late! *hugs*)

( The Life )

Rating: Call it PG for vaguely adult themes.

Disclaimer: So not mine.

Recipient: tellitslant

Summary: One explanation for a photograph.

Author's Notes: Wow, this is really late. Firstly because my computer exploded (well, not quite, but it might as well have done for all the use it was to me in January) and then because I thought that since I'd taken so long already I might as well try to make the story suck less. I don't know how well I did at that, mind you *g*.

( With thousands of apologies for the lateness ... )

Good news:

After unsucessfully reminding the writers who failed to deliver their stories in the end, we've now found back-up writers so that all of you who didn't receive your spy_santa fic from the one originally responsible should still get a lovely, if late present!

Huge thanks to everybody who jumped into the fray, and to vaznetti who went looking.

Title : Grounded (1/1)
Author : thepiratequeen
Rating: PG
Disclaimer : It would be a very different show if it belonged to me.
Spoilers : Contains Season 4 and minor Season 5 spoilers.
Notes: For medie who wanted Jack/Nadia spending Christmas together away from LA. Takes place after Season 5. My deepest apologies for how disgustingly late this is. I hope it ends up being well worth the wait.

Dear spy_santas --

you've done great. <|| :-)> Thanks for participating and presenting us with such a wealth of Alias stories to curl up with in front of the fire...radiator...ah, anywhere you like.

The deadline of Epiphany, Jan. 6th, has passed, but there are still a few stories yet to come in:

oldromantic, actionvaughn, aricadavidson, veritas_vincit_ & superslayer18, would you please drop me a line as to the status of your stories? You can reach me at [lj handle] hotmail com. (andrastewhite, knowledgequeen, and superswank & thepiratequeen, you're accounted for; thanks for the heads-up and don't worry.)
Your recipient is probably still sitting under the Seasonal Symbol of Choice, big-eyed and with a trembling lip, waiting eagerly for your tale.

I know I am. *sniff*

Apologies for the delay!

Snow for Christmas
For Nat


I got a little (okay more than a little) carried away. So I hope it's within the rules to post the rest of this within the next few days.

Title: Snow for Christmas
Chapter 1
Author: JoyLee
Rating: NC-17 - Here be smut folks!

Request: Irina, Jack and Sydney, post Before the Flood, Much Spyrents Love, and umm, a puppy! Also managed to include from second request: Irina living in a castle, Irina (well Laura) and Jack making snow angels

Note: In this universe, Horizon didn't happen. I had this half written when the episode aired and there was just no way to tweak it so that it made sense.

Disclaimer: I have no ownership interest in the Bristow/Devekos/Ottossons and make no profit. Fair use only. Ruritania must be in public domain by now, but I don't own it either.

This is for voleuse, who asked for Sark, Irina, and Anna Espinosa in a story that includes professional courtesy, talk about Jack Bristow, and cocktails (& no onscreen "good guys," violence, or shippiness.)
Rated PG-13 for ennui and dissipation.

Now I want to relax. Are there any more cocktails?

Notes: Many, many thanks to monanotlisa for a heroic last-minute beta in an effort to save you all from dire plot mistakes and dire grammatical errors. All strokes of brilliance were due to her and all remaining mistakes are my own pig-headed fault.
