Fake News: Of The Father's Love Begotten

Title: Of The Father's Love Begotten
Rating: PG
Characters/pairings: "Stephen"/Jon, Stephen's kids
Notes: Cabin!fic. Wifeless AU for Jon. The Colbert children are OCs (same relative ages as the real ones, but younger). Titled after this carol. Special guest appearance by Jon's parental-abandonment issues.
( Disclaimer )

The last of the Secret Santa fics (yes, yes, it's March, I know). Prompt: "Stephen"/Jon; "you've got to hide your love away"; scarves; snow in eyelashes.

( After vigorously mixing the dry ingredients, Matthew had gotten distracted by the need to have a lightsaber duel; spotting an opportunity for father-son bonding, Jon had urged Stephen to be his opponent. JP, meanwhile, ended up fully absorbed in the task of making handprints in the flour Matthew had spilled all over the table. )
