#Secret santa Lilly

[neonmice]

Halli Hallo Hallöchen,

ich bims wieder: der kleine Weihnachtswichtel! :3

Ich fand es sehr interessant deine Antworten zu lesen und mal eine andere Meinung zum JCU und den Charakteren zu hören. Unter meinen Freunden bin ich so ziemlich die Einzige, die Julien Bam Videos intensiv schaut und ich kann die auch nicht 24/7 volllabern XD (tu ich eh, aber egal)

Bunny Bars ist schon echt ein geiler Song. Würde sogar behaupten, er ist mein Lieblingssong von den Wächtern mit Opus Dens! Tut uns leid ist einfach generell mein Lieblingslied von MiM und auch der Aqua song.

Ey, aber der erste Osterhasen song ist schon ein Banger! XD hab den erst neulich wieder für mich entdeckt und ich liebe einfach die lyrics „...selbst die Bravo will mich auf dem Poster haben…“ – keine Ahnung warum, aber ich finde diese Line einfach übelst funny XD

Bei dem Song habe ich mich aber auch immer verhört. Es ist ja „Meine Eier ausgeblasen und die Neider außer Atem“ … ich habe immer anstatt „Neider“ „Weiber“ verstanden und war immer nur so: ooooooooookay o.o. Ja, keine Ahnung, bin aber froh, dass das mir irgendwann mal auch aufgefallen ist XD

Ich bin mir aber ziemlich sicher, dass in Akt 6 ein gemeinsamer Song mit den ganzen Wächtern, oder generell allen Hauptcharakteren kommt. Wäre ein echt schöner Abschluss für das Hauptvideo und Juliens YouTube Karriere! (vielleicht machen die Wächter gegen Eos so ein Rap Battle-, wäre schon lustig so XD)

Nochmal zu deinem Geschenk :3 Hast du vielleicht ein paar hc oder sowas, die du vielleicht in dein Geschenk miteinfließen lassen möchtest? Ich finde hc und fan theorien zu einer Story oder Charakteren immer interessant! Im Moment lässt mich meine kreative Ader auch ein bisschen im Stich und ich hab noch nicht eine wirklich krasse/gute Idee, für was ich dir machen könnte… ;w; Vielleicht inspiriert mich ja irgendwas dann!

Uuuuuuuuund ich habe weitere Fragen vorbereitet! Du kannst dich schonmal darauf einstellen, dass ich dich eventuell bis Weihnachten über das JCU ausfragen werde, aber mich interessiert es halt echt, was andere denken und was sie meinen, wie die Story ausgehen wird!

Wer glaubst du ist der Fremde? (Ich weiß, gefühlt halb Insta und Tumblr sind sich da schon einig, aber vielleicht hast du ja andere Ideen oder Theorien? Ich persönlich würde es feiern, wenn es Rewi ist (wird wahrscheinlich nicht passieren, aber ich finde Rewi verdient im letzten Akt einen krassen Auftritt :‘) Vielleicht entpuppt er sich als finaler Endgegner, gegen den alle Wächter (+Eos) zusammen kämpfen müssen!)

Im Sandmann SpinOff hat man in der einen Rückblende ihn als Baby gesehen (war schon ein bisschen weird aber egal) – was glaubst du hat es damit auf sich? Könnte es irgendwas anspielen, was erst in Akt 6 aufgeklärt wird?

Uuuuuuuund ich merke, dass mir die Fragen ausgehen, tja…. War wohl doch nix mit Fragen bis Weihnachten (liegt wahrscheinlich daran, dass ich übelst müde bin ;w; - Klaus knechtet einen schon hart). Wobei, noch eine habe ich noch: denkst du Fips kann kochen? Ich meine in seinem SpinOff hat man nur gesehen, wie er Ramen Nudeln in sich reinstopft (wenn er sie mal nicht fallen lässt)  und seine Küche sah jetzt auch nicht so aus, als hätte er sich andere Sachen gekocht… Mein persönlicher hc ist, dass Klaus nur Weihnachtsgebäck machen kann wie Kekse oder Stollen, wenn er irgendetwas anderes versucht zu kochen, fängt es sofort Feuer; Rhun kocht wie ein 5-Sterne-Koch (ich meine er hat ein Hotel, irgendjemand muss sich ja um das Essen kümmern!) Außerdem wäre ihm Zahnpflege sehr wichtig, weswegen er nur gesundes Essen machen würde (OMG ICH SEHS VOR MIR WIE  SEINE BRÜDER IHN BESUCHEN KOMMEN UND ER IHNEN ZUM ABENDESSEN NUR GEMÜSE HINKLATSCHT UND FIPS UND ZEKE FANGEN ZU HEULEN AN HAHAAHAHAH!!!) und ja Zeke lässt du am besten nicht in die nähe einer Küche, irgendwas würde explodieren lol. (okay, was war das für ein Ausflug in einen hc XD sorry, ich bin einfach müde ;w;)

Nun denn, ist ein bisschen lang geworden, aber was solls. Vielleicht habe ich dir einen kreativen Denkanstoß gegeben (wer weiß). Bis Weihnachten ist ja noch ein bisschen Zeit!

Dein Weihnachtswichtel Lilly

(P.S. Die (2) Fragen gehen jetzt mehr in den Theorien- und Spekulationenbereich (Spekulatius lol), hoffe das ist nicht so schlimm :))

Hiya :D

Das mit den Freunden kann ich gut verstehen hab ja zum Glück nen Discord, um mich auszutoben würd dir den Link geben, aber ich glaub, das würd deine Identität etwas beeinträchtigen

Vielleicht mal @tricogarfield @rhuns-zahnseide oder @xoomiewatch anschreiben damit die dir den Link zusende ohne das ich gleich weiß, wer du bist :)

Der Großteil der Songs im JCU is schon echt geil, Bunny bars my beloved <333

Ich liebe die Bravo Line auch so sehr, hatte tatsächlich mal ein paar fanart wips für genau das, aber die rotten im "unfertig" Ordner wahrscheinlich für alle Ewigkeit ngl

Omg das man die Line komplett verschieden falschhören kann und es trotzdem noch iwi Sinn ergibt is ja mal witzig (now imagine beide Hörfehler auf einmal "Habe Eier aus geblasen und die Weiber außer Atem" obwohl ich glaub, das würd nicht mehr so viel Sinn machen lol)

Akt 6 is so ein Mysterium tbh so viel könnte passieren, aber auch so vieles nicht. Ich wünsch mir halt fr ein Happy End sonst kann ich das alles nicht mehr (aber Rap battel zwischen den Wächtern wär schon mies geil so julien/bulien style)

HC boah da hab ich einiges, mal sehen wie viel ich aus dem stand auf die kette kriege, hoffentlich werd ich nicht zu sehr auf Fips fokussieren (Favoriten am I rite?):

Gay Fips (hab ich ja schon erwähnt aber naja) er gibt einfach diese krampfhaft straight auszusehen zu wollen Vibes ab iykwim

persönlich mag ich es auch zu glauben das Fips echt nicht glücklich ist mit seiner momentanen Situation als Eos Marionette und sich lautstark drüber beschweren würd (wenn er denn könnte that is)

Ich hab auch die kleine (noch auszuarbeitende) AU von ghost!Fips aka bei Fips Wiederbelebung kam einmal sein Körper unter Eos Kontrolle zurück und Fips Geist der Eos nun heimsucht und so richtig auf die Eier geht, das ist der einzige post, den ich dazu bisher gemacht hab, aber ich hab so ein paar Pläne

Ich bin vollends davon überzeugt das Dark einen softspot für Fips hat, idk why aber einfach vibes

Klaus Vater Figur 100%

Minty, Nr. 17 und das Osterlamm haben girlnights zusammen

Ich mag auch sehr das Trans!Fips headcanon das rumgeht (is nich so als würd ich die größte Fic davon beta lesen nein nein) I relate to him too much tbh

yep das wars erstmal Tach war lang, Hirn ist Matsch

Ich hab kein Problem damit gelöchert zu werden, also immer her mit den Fragen!

uff der Fremde, hab ehrlich gesagt die Theorie, dass er Rewi sein soll noch nicht gesehen, aber die glaub ich auch einfach nicht, weil Rewis auftritt, im JCU zwar extremst überfällig ist, aber der Fremde einfach eine zu seriöse Rolle wäre als das sie die zum running Gag der ganzen Serie geben würden Die Theorie mit Tinos Vater find ich persönlich noch am glaubwürdigsten, aber die überlappt ja mit der "Er ist Rewi weil Rewi Tinos Vater ist" Theorie (insofern die noch aktuell ist, idk ich pass nicht allzu sehr auf die Theorien ecke des fandoms auf) was ja auch nochmal dafür spricht das Rewi nicht der Fremde sein kann, wenn er Tonis Vater ist, ich mein, der Fremde wohnt, soweit ich weiß, nicht in 'nem Mammut oder der A.N.U.S 7 yk generell wäre Rewi als der Fremde oder der Fremde als Tinos Vater zu kompliziert um das in nur einem Video zu bringen yk, besonders weil Tinos sidequest ja auch nur ein Gag ist, wenn mans mal genau nimmt also ja ich glaub der Fremde hat weder mit Rewi noch mit Tino was zutun und Rewi wird, wenn überhaupt als Tinos Vater auftreten oder sonst irgendein Cameo (würd mich nicht wundern, wenn der stirbt tbh) gibt ja auch noch die beiden Ideen, das es entweder ein Rezo Klon oder Curly sein könnten, welche auch recht interessant sind, auch wenn ich sie nicht glaube tbh Wenn ich ehrlich bin, wärs mir am liebsten das der Fremde einfach der Fremde bleibt und nicht auf Krampf nen Charakter reveal haben muss, er ist einfach ein Dude aus der Zukunft und gut is hätte aber auch nichts gegen wen er irgendwer ist, allerdings müsste das Team sich wirklich Mühe geben, dass es gut wird

Ich hab die Reaktion noch nicht gesehen, aber mir wurde zugetragen das der Shot anscheinend wichtig sein soll. Persönlich dachte ich mir das wär nur irgendeine Meta Referenz gewesen, die ich nicht kannte und mir war die wirklich egal, bissl lustig, aber mehr auch nich. Weswegen ich auch nicht kapiert hab, warum alle da so abfahren und das es jetzt anscheinend wichtig ist is für mich etwas schade, weil es etwas von Zekes randomness weg nimmt, wenn das einfach die Wahrheit war und nicht Fake wie die Backstory Shots von ähnlichen Charakteren wie Deadpool (von dem er ja inspiriert ist) die einem oft Scheiße erzählen, über wo sie wirklich herkommen fänd ich einfach etwas enttäuschend idk

(Klaus der Bastard) *ahem* ne Fips kann so nicht Kochen, obwohl, er kann Eier Kochen, aber bei etwas komplizierter als "brate das und das und fertig" würd er wahrscheinlich verzweifeln, 2-5 schritte und mehr nicht! Das die alle basic koch Skills haben würd ich mal vermuten, aber entweder sehr eingerostet oder nur simple Sachen wurden von denen behalten. Ich glaub der einzige, der die Veranlagung hat wirklich gut Kochen zu lernen wäre Eos. Nur so ein Gefühl. Außer Zeke, der darf nich in hundert Meter Radius von ner Microwelle ohne das er was in Brand steckt

Persönlich denk ich ja gern drüber nach, wie sich Charaktere auf nem gemeinsame Minecraft Server verhalten würden hab ich beim JCU zwar noch nicht gemacht, aber der Gedanke ist da ngl

(P.S. alles supi mit den Fragen, ich bin da sehr gechillt :] )

[sadfictionalmenenthusiastx]

I’ve been itching to write something again for CRASH, and the new episode kinda gave me the kickstart energy for it,

So I present a Christmas fic!

The title is pretty self explanatory, so I shan’t need say nothing more.

There’ll hopefully be 8 chapters, and I really hope you enjoy!!

🎁 KDRAMA SECRET SANTA 2022 — for Lilly @bareums ❤️

[metallica-jk]

Time to talk ab Games Untold!!!

OMG IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK BC OF NASH AND LIBBY AHHHHHH

i kinda wanted to talk ab the objects on the cover

Im guessing that all the roses kinda mean love or smth idk someone search it up bc im not bothered.

the sword is probably Gray

Ive also realised that theres Calla Lillies on the cover of the book...Lyra???

Theres a compass which i think might b Hannah or Toby bc obviously Toby travelled undercover if yk what i mean

theres the coin that i think is from prague?? like czech republic kinda money lmao

thats to represent that night in prague thing

THE COWBOY BOOT AND THE RING ARE OBVIOUSLY AB NASH AND LIBBYYYYYYY

There r also pearls but idk what that might b...

Now ab the story things that will b in the book

That night in Prague is ab Jameson and Avery and how Jameson got the riddle thing ab Alice (i think)

The same Backwards as Forward is defo ab Hannah and Toby. Maybe ab how they met? or how they fell in love?

Five times Xander tackled someone (and one time he didnt) - i think thats kinda self explanatory.

The cowboy and the Goth NASH AND LIBBY AHHHHH

One Hawthorne night Might b the 911 message that Gray missed or idk

What happens in the treehouse could be the extra chapter where nash has to eat his hat or whatever and they play truth or dare

S3cr3t S@nt@ is secret santa...probably like a crazy ahh Hawthorne version lmao

and finally, Pain at the right gun - Lyra?

Rusame/Amerus Secret Santa 2023 Gift

This is my secret santa gift for @vodkanburgers

I'm not really used to writing fluff so I hope you like it!

Summary: Cardverse au, Alfred is away on business and sends Ivan a few gifts to keep him company in his absence.

Rating: Teen (mostly sfw but the ending is suggestive)

To Ivan, Alfred was many things: a loud mouth with a lack of impulse control, a gifted magic wielder praised far too much throughout his land, and, just like himself, a grown child forced into the role of ruler much too soon. At least, as neighbors, they found they could confide in each other what few living could understand. Their circumstances had led to a deep kinship between the two, and that kinship had recently found itself evolving into a courtship (with the approval of their queens and aces of course). However, the little differences in how their kingdoms go about "dating" (as Alfred would call it), has led to a few instances of rendering Ivan more flustered than he’s ever been in his life.

Within the Spadian kingdom, gift giving is seen as the most celebrated of gestures because to them, it shows just how much someone really knows about those they love and to give them the things they want without ever having to ask. Truthfully, Ivan saw it more as an excuse to flaunt one's wealth and to monetize some of the most inane things, however he couldn't deny the giddiness he felt whenever another one of Alfred’s presents showed up at his castle's steps.

That's why, with Alfred out on a trip to the Diamonds’ kingdom for the next several weeks, Ivan wasn't surprised when he found the first gift of many placed neatly on his bed with a deep indigo envelope sat next to it.

Gift #1

"To my dearest,

Ivan, I hope in my absence I fill your thoughts just as much as you fill mine. In times like this I wished I had had a memento of yours to keep at my side, but I guess that’s why hindsight is 20/20. That’s why I've taken the liberty of capturing a photo more special than any ever made just for you.

With love,

Alfred

P.S. Don’t be afraid to take a closer look at it~"

The note was sappy, more so than usual. Ivan wondered if maybe the dramatics of the over emotional Diamonds’ people had rubbed off on the Spadian in such a short amount of time.

The accompanied box was thin and carefully wrapped in a golden ribbon that Ivan didn't hesitate to open. What he saw inside was a silver, ornately metal frame of tiny vines and flora that held behind glass a picture of Alfred. The glowing smile he always wore displayed prominently as he was captured mid wave to the camera. It was adorable.

Pulled in closer as told, he ran a gentle thumb down his framed face and a second later almost dropped the thing when Alfred moved. His hand was actually now waving at him and his smile transformed into an open silent laugh. When his movements slowed, he gave a smooth wink and mouthed something to the viewer before it suddenly reset to its original still image. In fascination at this new feat, Ivan watched it loop the same thing over and over until he was able to read the words on Alfred’s lips, “I love you”.

–

Only a few weeks had passed when a second package and letter was delivered straight to Ivan. He didn’t hesitate to rush to his chambers and open both items in private.

Gift #2

"To my dearest,

Ivan, in the short amount of time I've been here, Francis has asked me just about every question about the two of us (and obviously taking too much glee in watching me squirm). His doting “big brother” behavior reminds me of Arthur and it’s a wonder how they seemingly can’t find a middle ground like us to remain civil.

Aside from him, I've been enjoying my time with Diamond's newest royal Queen Lillie. She's almost as young as we were when called and has honestly been a real breath of fresh air among the stuffy coots in their court. In our free time she’s even begun teaching me knitting, like you love to do, and I’ve made you something special.

With love,

Alfred

P.S. I'm still a bit rusty, so if you really really really love me, you won't judge my work too harshly!"

That last part brought out a chuckle from him. This box now was bigger than the first one and as he lifted the lid, a look of confusion crossed his face. Inside was a "folded" mass of red fabric made of a thin yarn material. Picking the item up didn't really help as the shape revealed itself to be something like a…shawl, but the knitted threads were too spaced out to be of proper use in the cold. It seems he wanted to make Ivan something like a scarf, just as he’s done in the past for Alfred.

While not the best work, the thought definitely still counted. It even made his heart beat and brought him joy when he could smell a faint trace of the sharp cologne the young man loved to smother himself in. He knew just where to put this gift.

Gently, he folded up the fabric and placed it on his bedside table as a new piece of decor. Now it would make a lovely scene for Ivan to wake up to while it sat right next to his specially framed photo of Alfred’s goofy mug.

–

With only a week left before his return, Ivan was surprised when another gift was announced for him. It was the weightiest of all three packages and he was hungry with curiosity to open the, strangely, beige colored box.

Gift #3

“To my dearest,

Ivan, being without you has left me longing for you day, and especially night. I’ve missed holding you, I’ve missed sharing a bed with you, and I’ve missed touching the most intimate parts of your body. As soon as I’m able to see you again, I want to cover your face in the biggest, sloppiest kisses I can make and keep you in my company until we’re nagged enough to go back to our duties.

I know how flustered you usually get after reading your sisters’ romance novels and I can only dream of how you are now. If that is the case, please be sure you’re alone when you open your present. It took quite a bit of trial and error, but the final product is totally worth it. Just about one week left!

With love,

Alfred

P.S. Hopefully you think of me every time you use it.”

The contents of his letter stayed rooted in his mind like a weed in his greenhouse. From the things he referred to, Ivan had an idea of what could be in that box and waited until after dinner to rush off to his room.

On his bed sat the box. With jittery hands, he opened it to find a royal purple satin bag closed by a simple drawstring. By holding the bag Ivan could make out the shape of something cylindrical and when he pulled it out, he saw it was white with a cap to screw off. Removing it revealed– Oh.

A flesh colored inside greeted his eyes and his face flush harder than he’s ever felt since Alfred first confessed to him. He quickly re-capped the thing and sat in embarrassed silence with the object held in his lap. Questions swirled through his head of why, when, and how, but another one dominated them all.

What does it feel like?

Ivan knew when the man got back he was going to be hounded about if he got his gifts and how much did he like them. Curiosity burned inside and it only made sense to use his gift like how Alfred intended it. Just thinking about how happy he’ll be to see him again is all it really took for Ivan to give in and un-cap the device. The two other presents on his bedside table will be of great use tonight, tomorrow, and every night until he’ll get to physically hold Alfred again.

Wishes and Snowflakes - gift for Lilly

Merry Christmas, Lilly! Hope you had fun with your sister (dangerous thing to say on this blog) and please give your cat a little kiss on the head from your Secret Santa.

**

Wishes and Snowflakes

She wakes up greeted by the jarring scream of her alarm and a rough, impatient tongue on the tip of her nose. She swats at its owner—who skillfully moves out of the way, now sitting on her chest, purring—before reaching out to the nightstand, where she manages to blindly hit the snooze button on her phone’s screen.

“Five more minutes,” she mumbles, her voice muffled by the pillow she’d so cozily settled into just a few hours ago.

In response, she gets a few soft kitty paw slaps right to the middle of her forehead.

“Okay, okay, no five minutes.” With a groan, she pulls her blankets aside—making sure to trap the impatient fuzzball in the top cover—and sits up, the entire length of her spine creaking as she yawns and stretches. The blankets move as the cat tries to find its way out, and she lets herself watch the struggle for a moment.

Before it hits her.

“It’s today, isn’t it?” she says out loud, and the writhing mound stops for a second. “I got a lot of things to do, baby girl, will you be good if I leave you for a few hours?”

Just at that, a fluffy white head pokes out from underneath the cover, and a pair of uncannily blue eyes lock on hers. Then, the cat meows loudly, and Anna swears she can hear the frustration in her voice.

“I know, I left everything for the last minute.” She smiles sheepishly at the cat, who by now manages to crawl out fully and sit in her lap, her long tail wrapped neatly around her front paws. “In my defense I took a few extra shifts this month to make sure I could afford everything and the rent, so I just didn’t have time before.”

The cat lets out a huff, but she blinks slowly and accepts Anna’s hand when she moves to pet her head. “I’ll just run a few errands in the morning and then I’ll be back, and we can set everything ready for tonight.”

Her heartbeat picks up at that, because tonight means seeing her again, and it’s been such a painfully long time.

The cat bumps her hand one last time before jumping off the bed, and heading towards the doorway, where she stops and looks over her shoulder expectantly. Anna shakes her head in defeat, but she feels a smile crawl onto her lips anyway.

“But first I’m gonna need to feed you.”

**

She woke up, as so many times before, to the feeling of sunlight on her eyelids, legs draped across her own and a head of soft, platinum hair tucked into the nook of her neck. She tried to reach out to snooze her alarm without waking her up, before a quiet groan told her she was already too late.

“We should get up,” the voice vibrated through her own collarbone, and she had to fight hard to contain the excited shiver it evoked.

“We could spare a few minutes,” she offered instead, adjusting her hand at her sister’s back to pull her closer. “It’s not like the world will run away.”

She felt the lips grazing her skin turn into a smile. “No, but they might run out of trees if we’re there too late.”

Anna rolled her eyes. There was no arguing with her like this. “Okay, but we’re hitting the cafe first. I’m actually starving.”

Elsa rose at that, bracing herself on her elbows to plant a delicate kiss on Anna’s nose.

“Of course, I wouldn’t dare go on without making sure you’re fed.”

**

Once she’s sure the cat ate everything she gave her, Anna rushes to get dressed and out the house before she’s really fallen behind with the plan even more than she already is. She can’t shake off the feeling of being watched as she limps around the living room with one sock and half her pants on, hissing when her bare foot hits the cold floor, cursing when she can’t find the other sock.

A soft mrrp catches her attention while she’s checking underneath the couch pillows, and she turns around to see the cat sitting behind her, a sock dangling from her little mouth.

“Thank you, Snowflake,” she says, true relief washing over her as she reaches to take the sock and give her a little scratch behind the ear. “Damn, I really have to clean up here after I’m back, huh?”

Snowflake only blinks at her slowly, but Anna can’t help but feel judged.

**

“Are you almost ready?” Elsa asked, no actual trace of impatience in her voice, but Anna could tell by now when her sister was holding back her irritation.

“Yeah, I’m just looking for my sock… I swear I just had it,” she sighed, looking around the room helplessly. She’d literally just brought her clothes here to get dressed in the living room while Elsa finished her make-up in the bathroom, and—which mysteriously tended to happen to her pretty often—one of her socks was just gone. Vanished in thin air.

“This sock?”

She turned around to see Elsa wave it around, a sly smile on her face.

“Thank you!”

“You dropped it on the way.” She knelt down next to her and Anna instinctively picked up her foot to let Elsa slide it on. “Really, Anna, you have to be more careful with small things like this.”

Her voice was, again, with no trace of impatience or judgment, but Anna couldn’t help but blush at her own clumsiness.

**

She makes it to the cafe half an hour later, entering the warmth with a flurry of snowflakes flying in around her.

“Oh, Anna! Merry Christmas!” Rapunzel, her favorite-barista-turned-friend waves from behind the counter as soon as she spots her. “I was beginning to worry you were not gonna make it today!”

Anna unwraps the thick scarf from around her face, taking note of the few familiar faces lounging about, nodding a greeting to some of them before she makes it over to the counter. “I was falling a bit behind on my schedule,” she says sheepishly, already reaching for her wallet as Rapunzel immediately begins to prepare her usual order. “Honestly I don’t know if I even have time to hang around, so I might need to take it on the go, but…you know, tradition is tradition.”

Rapunzel laughs cheerfully, her back turned towards Anna as she’s loading up the espresso machine. “Elsa would never let you run so late with stuff.” She slams the portafilter in and turns it roughly, but with a particular finesse that only years of expertise can bring about. “I’m surprised you still leave all the tree decorating for today when she’s not around…feels like you’d be safer just doing it earlier in the month.”

Anna shrugs. “Tradition,” she repeats, and Rapunzel laughs again. “I’ll just have to run everywhere.”

A few moments later, the coffee machine whirs loudly and Rapunzel turns around to look at her again. “Speaking of Elsa, is she coming tonight?”

Anna can’t help the smile. “Yeah.”

“I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already.” Her hand is on Anna’s, a very welcome gesture of reassurance. “Is she coming back for good soon, or still…you know?”

Anna runs her thumb over her palm absent-mindedly. “Soon,” is the only thing she manages to say, her eyes now glazed over.

Clearly noticing that, Rapunzel swiftly changes the subject. “I’ll go pack her favorite cream puffs. A dozen is fine?”

Thankful that her back is turned towards her once again, Anna quickly wipes the tear from the corner of her eye. “Yeah, a dozen should be fine.”

**

They entered their favorite cafe right on time according to Elsa’s plan, and quickly made it to the register.

“Merry Christmas, guys!” Rapunzel greeted them, giving each a short hug over the counter. “Are we doing the Christmas Eve morning usual?”

Elsa laughed, “for me, yes, and for Anna the coffee and— what did you want to eat?”

Anna, still wishing they were still in bed, suddenly found herself in a place where she had to make a decision. “Uhhh…”

The two blondes stared at her for a moment, before Rapunzel offered, “you wanna try the new prosciutto ciabatta?”

Anna just nodded, happy to be excused from thinking.

She watched the girls talk for a moment while Rapunzel danced around behind the counter, making two coffees, a sandwich and also managing to grab a muffin that Elsa finally decided to have as well so smoothly Anna found herself questioning if the girl didn’t have an extra arm or two.

“Oh, and of course we’ll take a dozen cream puffs for the evening,” Elsa added just as she was taking her wallet out to pay. “I almost forgot.”

Rapunzel laughed. “I wasn’t gonna say anything, I thought maybe you guys decided to diet for Christmas this year.”

They stayed around to finish their coffees and food, exchanged small gifts with Rapunzel and were ready to commence their journey.

**

She stumbles out of the cafe after giving Rapunzel the gifts for her and her girlfriend—both of whom she made sure to invite over for dinner the day after tomorrow, only smiling sadly when Rapunzel said maybe they could even bump into Elsa—clutching the small gift bags for her and Elsa to her chest. She even got a tiny gift for Snowflake.

It takes her less than twenty minutes to make it to the usual place they get their trees from, and somehow she still feels like she’s too late. There’s only a few trees still left, all on the smaller side, but she doesn’t mind; a smaller tree means less room for lights and baubles, and if anyone asked her and expected an honest answer she really didn’t enjoy decorating the tree on her own.

She quickly makes her way through, judging the few specimens still left as if she has any idea what she’s doing before calling the owner over.

“Damn, you’re really late this year,” he says when he sees her, and for what feels like the millionth time today she gives him a sheepish smile. “Do you want me to look in the truck for bigger trees?”

She shakes her head quickly. “It’s okay, Kris, I’m fine with the smaller ones.”

They’re not exactly friends, but by this time they know each other well enough to be on first name basis. Kristoff works at the Home Depot she usually goes to for home improvement supplies (something she’s found herself needing a lot since she became the sole rent-payer in her apartment and had to learn how to perform minor repairs on her own), but for the last week before Christmas he camps out here with the fresh trees.

“Are you sure? They’re much smaller than what you normally get.”

She shrugs. “Well, yeah, but that means I’ll get it done quicker, and as you can probably tell I’m kind of in a rush here. And it’s cheaper, too, which I can’t complain about.”

He nods, but there’s still some reluctance on his face. “Do you want me to send one of the guys to deliver it to your place?”

“Please.”

He picks up the little tree and takes it to where the truck is parked, while Anna struggles to fish her wallet out with cold fingers.

His voice startles her sooner than she thought it would. “Is your sister visiting for Christmas?”

“Yeah.” She smiles, but she’s not sure if it comes across genuine. “Well, for tonight. She’ll be gone by tomorrow.”

He places a huge, heavy hand on her shoulder. “If you’re alone tomorrow, you know my family is always open to having you over.”

“Thanks, Kristoff.”

**

“Oh, they still have some nice ones!”

She watched Elsa in silent awe as she jumped from snow covered tree to snow covered tree as if she could tell any difference between them.

“Do you need any help picking a tree?”

The booming voice came from above and behind her, and Anna almost stumbled in surprise. She turned around to look at the source, a young guy probably around Elsa’s age, with half his face hidden by a woolen scarf. She took a cautious step back and absent-mindedly reached for Elsa’s hand, only truly feeling relief when the slender fingers intertwined with hers.

“We’re considering between these two,” Elsa answered, squeezing her in assurance, pointing her other hand to the trees she was looking at earlier. “Do you do delivery?”

The tall guy nodded, and walked over to one of Elsa’s chosen pines. “This one will probably be better for you guys, the other one is a bit heavier and I don’t know if you or your girlfriend could handle—”

Anna erupted into a nervous cough, but thankfully Elsa cut in just then. “We’re sisters. And pretty strong, despite what it may look like.”

The exposed part of the guy’s face turned red. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to assume— for, uh, for either thing.”

She waved her free hand. “Oh, it’s fine. I think we will take this one, it would be easier to handle it if it’s lighter. Could you help us load it onto the car?”

The guy nodded, and Elsa let go of her hand to finalize the transaction with him, leaving Anna alone with her thoughts.

**

After some quick last minute shopping—she’d completely forgotten about eggnog and rum, and she still needed to pick up some salmon and stuff for Snowflake for tomorrow—Anna’s finally on her way back home.

It’s already afternoon when she pushes past the delivered tree to her front door, where she’s immediately greeted by the loudest meow in the world.

“I know, I know, I said I’m gonna be quick,” she apologizes immediately, setting her shopping bags on the floor for immediate feline inspection. “It’s not easy when you gotta do everything by yourself.”

Which, now that she thinks about it, is pretty much what Elsa used to do when she was around for Christmas preparations. She’d never been much help for her, even if she had good intentions.

That is, until it came to cooking, when Elsa would be able to relax and watch her prepare the food.

“I got some things for you,” she says softly to the cat, who perks up at her curiously. “Some salmon for dinner later, but I swung by the animal store and got you some gifts.”

Snowflake mrrps curiously, climbing up her leg and stretching.

“You want the new bed now or after?”

Not waiting for an answer, she rummages through the bags to find it.

**

“Do you think they know?”

Elsa looked up at her from her laptop, where she was finishing some final things for her work with her reading glasses on and a glass of red wine in hand, a wonderfully domestic picture that sent pangs of guilt into Anna’s stomach.

“Who?”

“Like…Rapunzel.” She fought down the lump in her throat, turning her attention back to the vegetables grilling in the pan. “Or that guy from earlier.”

Elsa hummed. “I don’t know about Rapunzel, I don’t think she does.” Anna heard her close her laptop, which meant she had Elsa’s full and undivided attention. “If she does, she either doesn’t have an issue with it or chooses to ignore it. And with the guy it was just an honest mistake, we were holding hands and all.”

Anna gulped, her eyes now pretty much tunnel-visioned to the frying pan, too afraid to turn around and look at her. “I don’t think that– that there exists a world where someone could not have an issue with this.”

Literally two heartbeats passed before she felt a pair of arms around her shoulders. “It’s okay,” Elsa whispered right next to her ear, planting a soft kiss behind it. “I don’t think anyone suspects anything. You don’t have to worry about it.”

She gave her one more kiss, lower on her neck, and let her arms slide down to rest at her waist and her chin to fall on Anna’s shoulder.

“It smells really nice,” she changed the subject, Anna’s heart now beating thrice as fast with Elsa’s chest pressed into her back. “I don’t say this enough, but I really love your cooking.”

Anna finally let herself look away from the pan and into Elsa’s beautiful blue eyes. “I love you,” she said, simply, but earnestly, as she let their lips meet.

**

She’s done with the tree, the final cleanup of the apartment—well, a bit more than just a final cleanup, she’d neglected cleaning for a longer while, too busy with work—and the dinner preparations just in time for 8 p.m.

“Snowflake!” she calls into the corridor, where she’d last seen the little cat disappear off to a while ago after she got tired of sleeping in her new bed. “Come here sweetie!”

The little pitter-patter of her soft paws on the hardwood brings a smile to Anna’s face, and she opens her arms wide to let her jump up at her.

“Where do you want to eat?” she asks, obviously not expecting a clear answer, but the cat meows loudly in return before jumping out of her arms again and dashing for the dining table. “Good choice. I set up a spot for you.”

She makes her way over to the table, which for once is dressed in a nice, festive tablecloth and three spots—two clearly for human use, one decidedly more cat—set with some of the fancier plates and cutlery that she still had left from the stuff their parents left behind when they passed away.

Snowflake quickly finds her way to where she’d put her little fake-diamond encrusted metal bowl on the plate and parks herself there, at a respectful distance from all the food.

“Good girl.” She pats her head, getting ready to sit herself. She looks at the empty seat with an inexplicable yearning in her gut, before letting out a sigh. “I guess we can start.”

Before she serves herself anything, she makes sure to put a heap of pan-fried salmon in Snowflake’s bowl.

**

It was after dinner, and they were just cuddling on the couch watching Home Alone for what felt like possibly the hundredth time in their lives. Elsa seemed to be almost dozing off, her head set in Anna’s lap, only letting out a comfortable hum every now and then when Anna’s fingertips grazed the back of her neck.

Anna wasn’t really focused on the movie; she reveled in the feeling of her sister’s warm, eggnog and rum-flushed face against her thigh, the slow rise and fall of her chest just in the corner of Anna’s eye, the silky texture of her hair between Anna’s fingers and the soft, twinkling glow of the lights on their Christmas tree.

It was perfect.

She wished it could be like this forever.

**

She’s close to falling asleep with the tv droning off in the background and Snowflake snoring lightly in her lap when the alarm she has set for 11:59 p.m. goes off.

Her heart almost leaps out of her chest and into her throat, as she quickly grabs Snowflake before she has a chance to get scared and run away.

“It’s time,” she says excitedly, jumping up from the couch with the cat in her arms and immediately falling on her knees in front of the (somewhat hastily, but still decently dressed) Christmas tree. She puts Snowflake down in front of her, forcing herself to not frown at the confusion in her eyes when they meet hers.

Then, she holds her breath.

And as the clock in the kitchen chimes for midnight, the cat in front of her begins to change into a young woman.

**

Just as she was about to join Elsa in dozing off (it wouldn’t kill them to sleep on the couch for one night, even if it was likely to hurt their backs), the window flew open with a flurry of snowflakes.

“What the f—” she got cut off by an even stronger gust of wind, and Elsa jumped up to shield her from whatever force of nature just decided to interrupt their peaceful rest.

Only it was not a force of nature, because what just appeared in front of them was not natural in any way.

**

She reaches for the blanket neatly folded on the couch and drapes it around the naked girl, who stumbles forward into her arms almost drunkenly, her forehead hitting Anna’s shoulder in a way that was sure to leave them both with a bruise, before she manages to regain some rigidity in her temporarily ragdoll body.

She mumbles something incoherent for a few moments as Anna holds her, wrapped tightly in the soft blanket still covered with cat hair, tears now streaming freely down her face.

**

They both just stared at the apparition in front of them wordlessly, mouths wide open. Elsa’s hand, which at some point found its way to hold Anna’s, was currently crushing her fingers in shock, but Anna couldn’t bring herself to care.

Finally, it was the apparition who decided to break the silence. “Well, are you both just gonna stare at me?”

Elsa shook her head and blinked a few times, but Anna was still frozen in fear. “Am I dreaming?” Elsa asked, then promptly yelped when she apparently pinched her leg. She then turned to look at Anna (still immobile) and then back at the apparition in front of them. “What the fuck is this?”

The apparition tssked. “Such language,” it sighed, then crossed its ‘arms’ on its ‘chest’, which were both mostly made of wispy smoke. “I think I made a mistake coming here.”

It made an attempt to get out the way it came in, before Elsa shouted, “wait!”

It looked back at her with a cocked eyebrow.

“Are you…” Elsa visibly struggled with what she was about to say. “…good?”

The apparition let out a guffaw of laughter. “Am I good? My child, I am the best thing that could happen to you on Christmas, aside from Santa Claus himself.”

That finally snapped Anna out of her trance. “Santa Claus is real?” she said weakly.

The apparition locked its eyes on her. “No,” it said simply, and Anna felt extremely small again.

“Are you?”

They both looked at Elsa, who was now standing in front of Anna, her body shielding her from harm even though the strange visitor claimed to be good.

“Well, you are speaking to me, are you not?”

**

“What happened?” Elsa finally manages to ask, lifting her head up to look at Anna. “I can’t really— I can’t remember much of anything.”

She sounds frightened, and Anna’s heart breaks all over again.

“Can you remember me?” she asks quietly. “Or this place?”

Elsa smiles, even if her eyes are still clearly betraying her fear, but she leans in to plant a shaky kiss on Anna’s lips. “Of course I remember you,” she whispers, and a huge weight lifts off of Anna’s shoulders. “And this is our place, even if it looks a little different than the last time I thought of it.”

Not wanting to waste any time, and seeing that Elsa is in a place where she’s ready to hear the story, Anna launches into the explanation. “It’s December 24th— 25th now, actually. You probably know that in some way or another,” she pauses to let Elsa nod in agreement. “Do you remember that same day last year?”

Anna watches her face turn from obliviousness to realization as she processes all the weird things that have been happening to her. “It’s— hazy,” she admits. “It feels like there’s more time, but it’s— it’s different.”

This time, Anna nods. “Very different. I want to explain it to you, but I also want you to try to remember some on your own.”

**

“They call me The Wishmaster,” he finally introduced himself, ‘sitting down’ on the chair across from them. “And I’m here because one of you was practically screaming he wishes into the stars.”

Anna’s brows furrowed. It couldn’t possibly have been— she was not even looking at any stars, not even thinking of them to be honest, but she did seem to remember that the last thought before she started dozing off was—

She gasped, and the Wishmaster looked at her. “Are you here to grant my wish?”

He smiled in a somewhat creepy way. “Not yours.” He pointed at Elsa, who was just quietly looking down at the carpet between them. “You’re Elsa, right?”

She nodded.

“Are you certain in what you wish for?”

She nodded again.

“Are you ready to pay a price for it?”

She nodd—

“Wait a minute, hold on,” Anna cut in, grabbing Elsa’s chin before she could nod fully. “Are you just not gonna tell me anything?”

The Wishmaster rolled his ghastly eyes and Elsa sighed. “I— I think I might have been looking out the window, and just saw a falling star. I was half asleep and I thought to myself, ‘it can’t hurt to have a wish, can it’?”

“Depends,” the Wishmaster chimed in.

“…So I wished.”

Anna felt a chill run down her spine. “For what?”

“For this.” Elsa smiled, reaching for her hand. “For us to just be able to be happy.”

The chill went away, and Anna let out a sigh of relief. This was exactly what she—

“For us to just never have to worry about people. I saw how scared you were today, and every other time too, whenever you think that someone might suspect that people know what we’re doing…”

Anna looked in panic at the Wishmaster, who just shrugged. “I literally don’t care,” he said. Then, turning to Elsa, he continued, “but I definitely see your point. Just a few minutes ago she wasn’t sure if I was real, and now she’s worried I might judge you two for your consanguine affections.”

Even Elsa cringed at that.

“So you could just…make people be okay with it?” Anna asked quietly, not even for a second wanting to develop any hope before anything was confirmed.

“I can make anything her heart desires come true.”

She allowed just a bit of hope to emerge as she looked at Elsa.

“But there will be a price.”

And there went the hope.

“What kind of price?” Elsa asked, and somehow Anna felt that she was going to take the offer regardless of the answer.

“Oh, nothing insane. It’s not like you’re asking to be the president of the universe or something outrageous like that.”

“So…?”

“…I haven’t decided yet.”

**

“So let me get this straight.”

Anna takes a deep breath, preparing herself for the barrage of questions.

“I’m a cat?”

Well, that one is at least easy. “For most of the year.” She waves her hand around the room, pointing at all the cat stuff lying around. “You come back at midnight on Christmas Eve, and you stay like this for eight hours, but after that—” her voice chokes, not wanting to even think of what was inevitably coming in a few hours. “Right after you…transform, you seem to still mostly have a human psyche, but the longer you stay a cat the more you are…you know, a regular cat. Towards the end of the year it’s only sometimes that I get any glimpse of human from you.”

Elsa falls silent for a moment, and Anna fights back the tears that are threatening to spill from her eyes.

“I’m sorry,” she says finally, just like she did the previous times. “This must be really hard on you.”

Anna nods. No point in denying it. “It’s hard especially at the beginning of the year,” she admits, bringing a hand up to touch Elsa’s cheek. “But it’s because it’s clearly hard for you, and it pains me to see you struggle with the reality of the situation. The further in the year we are, the easier it is for you, and I—”

A few tears break free, and Elsa quickly moves in to wipe them away.

“I-I try to just take the best care of you that I can.”

**

“A cat?” they both said, incredulously.

“I mean, why not?” the Wishmaster shrugged. “For, let’s say, a nice round five years.”

Anna’s heart sank. “What does that even accomplish?” she blurted out in a voice that bordered on a squeak. She did not like this idea a single bit.

“It tests your bond. You’ll have to remain faithful to her and care for her, and she’ll need to decide if she’s able to withstand the mental toll of this for you.”

She could feel Elsa’s hand, which was still firmly grasping hers, shake just a little.

The Wishmaster now turned to address Elsa directly again. “Each year at midnight of this same day I’ll let you come back to your human form. If you think you cannot take this any longer, you can just call for me again in front of a dressed tree, and I will void the contract and we’ll just move on our merry ways.”

**

“Five years?”

She can see Elsa’s face go paler than it even was before, now so devoid of color it almost perfectly reflected the Christmas tree lights back.

She wants to rush in and just hold her, kiss her, assure her that everything will be alright, but she knows it’s best to give her a little moment to process it.

“How many years has it been already?”

Anna smiles, because that’s the one thing she was keeping as a silver lining. “Four,” she says, and sees realization hit Elsa’s face. “There’s only one year left, and then we’re free to…just be happy. Unless he scammed us.”

But Elsa’s face isn’t that of happiness or relief. “I made you go through this for four years already?”

“Elsa—”

“I missed your twenty-first birthday!”

“Elsa!” She grabs her face with both her hands. “You are the one sacrificing so much here. And I am thankful. You’re doing this for us, and I can only make sure you come out of this healthy and alive.”

Elsa just looks at her, a battle of emotions on her face.

“Even if sometimes you just…make it so, so hard to keep you alive,” Anna continues, and Elsa’s brows furrow. “You love to chew on cables.”

That’s finally something that makes her break out in laughter.

“You know,” she manages between gasps for air. “Now that you mention it, I think I can remember the feeling. In the far back of my mind.”

Anna giggles too. “You will get some memories back over the next eight hours. It always happens like this, by the end of the night you’ll be remembering that time you brought me a dead bird to the bed for sure.”

Elsa’s laughter dies down slowly to a soft smile. “Eight hours?” she repeats, then sighs. “That’s…not a lot of time.”

“Just one more year after that, and we’ll have all the time in the world.”

“But here, and now, I…” she falters, obviously lost in thought, trying to find what she needs to say. Possibly sorting through the dawning memories. “I want to make sure we make the best of this time.”

She moves closer, until their faces are level and slowly pushes her lips against Anna’s, who can only let her arms fly up to grab her and pull her closer, all of the restraints she’s managed to exercise so far now completely broken because Elsa is here.

She loves Snowflake, and she cares for Snowflake, but she just loves Elsa so insanely much.

“The time is ticking,” she breathes against Elsa’s lips when they pull apart, resting her forehead against Elsa’s. “Let me show you how much I missed you.”

She’s not sure they’re going to make it to the bedroom this year.

[neonmice]

Hallöchen,

das mit den Augen kann ich verstehen. Ich schiebe auch immer Panik, wenn ich irgendwas mit Spritzen oder Verletzungen sehe, wir sitzen also irgendwie im selben Boot. XD

Fips ist auch einer meiner Lieblinge (eigentlich liebe ich alle Charaktere aus dem JCU aber; egal ;w;) und er hat wirklich ein besseres Schicksal verdient! Ich hoffe in Akt 6 wird er wieder gut und die Brüder kommen wieder alle zusammen. Gibt es vielleicht irgendwas bestimmtes, was du dir mit Fips wünschen würdest? Wenn dir nichts einfällt, gib mir einfach eine Richtung an, wie das Geschenk werden soll: wholesome/ angst, irgendwie sowas.

Falls es dir nach noch nichts strebt (weil sich so ein Geschenk/Idee auszusuchen kann schon lange dauern) können wir ja noch ein bissel warten und ich frag dich einfach über das JCU aus, um das Geschenk so persönlich wie es geht zu machen! :D

Also hier ein paar Fragen:

Warum genau ist Fips eigentlich dein Lieblingscharakter (er ist schon ein Süßi, aber ich würde gerne mehr wissen)

Hast du eine Lieblingsszene/Zitat aus dem JCU, was dir so im Kopf stecken geblieben ist?

Gibt es etwas, was du unbedingt in Akt 6 sehen wollen würdest?  (z.B. dass Fips wieder „normal“ wird oder dass Captain Jerky endlich mal Rose ehrlich nimmt)

Was ist dein Lieblingssong aus dem kompletten JCU, also Songs aus der Bohne bis jetzt?

Wenn du nicht willst oder keine Antwort weißt, musst du natürlich nicht alle meiner Fragen beantworten! :D

Dein Geschenk wird dann entweder eine Fanfiction oder Fanart (oder vielleicht auch beides, wenn ich Bock drauf habe 0.0)

Schreib mir zurück, wann du kannst!

Dein kleiner Weihnachtswichtel Lilly

(P.S. Glasfaser gibt’s hier keins… Klaus hat das ganze Geld für das Motorrad fürs Musikvideo ausgegeben ;w; )

Halli Hallo

Ja, zum Glück machen mir Spritzen und Blut nicht zu viel aus, aber alles, was weiter ins Gore Territorium kommt da wird mit ganz schnell übel, weird das ich Body Horror (im abstrakten) dann aber doch wieder sehr faszinierend finde lol

Ich hoffe so sehr, dass der wieder gut wird, aber wie die Story bisher ausschaut, bin ich sehr überzeugt, dass es passiert, man kann nur hoffen :]

Wünschen würd ich mir momentan konkret noch nicht, aber ich sitz momentan auch übelst im kreativen Loch (meine ganzen Fanfics LEIDEN) also mal schauen was wird, würd mir aber schon was fluffiges wünschen, vllt etwas mit ihm und sich verlieben aller der queer Fips Agenda, die ich sehr supporte (he so me fr)

(Ich fühl mich auch immer so übelst weird mir was Bestimmtes zu wünschen idk, meine Freunde werden an Geschenktagen verrückt mit mir ;_;)

Fragen sind immer willkommen :D Ich glaub mit nem richtigen Anstoß könnt ich ein paar Seiten labern, is halt immer schwer da selbst irgendwo anzufangen yk

ZU DENN FRAGEN HEHE

boah, weiß gar nicht mehr, war glaub das erste Video, was mich wirklich in die Story reingezogen hat, vorher war ich immer nur im groben Orbit von Ju und man hat hin und wieder mal ein Video geguckt, aber weil ich größten teils in der englischen Sphäre unterwegs bin war da nie viel Interesse, bis halt der verdammte Osterhase vor meinen Augen abgestochen wurde lol Und dann gings besonders bei seiner Wiederbelebung so richtig los, was kann ich sagen, ich hab nen softspot für wieder belebte Charaktere. Kinda spezifisch, aber es gibt überragend viel von denen lol. Und ab dann hab ich da nicht mehr allzu viel zu sagen, dass Fips mein kleiner Liebling wurde

2. "Du hälst mich für nen Pascha, doch dein Lamm nasch ich weg ohhh~" -- chriskind -- is eine meiner Favoriten, aber bei solchen Fragen löscht mein Hirn ganz gerne mal alle meine Erinnerungen lmao (Honorary mention is eine misshörte Lyrik vom ersten Osterhasen song wo das ganze Gay Fips HC seinen Ursprung findet: "Habe Eier ausgeblasen und die Neider außer Atem" [Er sagt eigentlich: "Meine Eier ausgeblasen und die Neider außer Atem" Was etwas weniger Funny ist, aber genau so Gay wenn du mich fragst]) Das ganze JCU ist sehr qouteable tbh, is echt nice

3. FIPS VERDAMMTE REDEMTION I WANT IT SO BAD, und das die Brüder zusammen singen, ja ich will ein quarted wo alle Stimmen Ju sind I NEED IT Das die "so schnell kanns gehen" Line nochmal wichtig wird für Fips Rettung, weil WIE GEIL WÄR DAS?! und natürlich ein Happy End, ich kann das nicht, wenn die sich am Ende nicht mindestens minimal besser vertragen (Eos ausgeschlossen, I have Fanfic plans intended just vor him and having to apologize so bad I DONT LIKE HIM RIGHT NOW)

4. Surprise Surprise: Bunny Bars, dicht gefolgt von tut uns leid und wie auch immer der von Joon in Drag hieß, cool und fresh ist auch noch weit oben dabei und alle von Klaus, und natürlich auch die anderen Wächter Songs (außer Zekes neuer, mag denn nich so)

oopsa alle Fragen beantwortet hehe ;P

Ich freu mich schon, überarbeite dich nur bloß nicht, ihr Wichtel müsst ja schon genug schuften ;]

(P.S. Was ein Depp istg, müsst Nr.17 anstiften ihn eins überzubraten sonst wird das ja nie was -_-)

Lyrics:

Nights are getting shorter now

Hot chocolate fills the air and Christmas cheer does too

Picking out your Christmas tree, so lovely

The joy this time it brings to you

Santa's coming to town

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

Santa's coming to town

Sing it to the deer in the sky

Sing it as they jingle, jingle, jingle tonight

Sing it to the moon, set it free

You're the angel on the top of my tree

Sing it to the spirit above

Sing your heart out with all of your love

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Oh, Santa's coming for us

Send your letters off to Santa, baby

Tell him all your secret wishes too

Send your letters off to Santa, baby

Hoping all your wildest dreams come true

Santa's coming to town

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

Santa's coming to town

Sing it to the deer in the sky

Sing it as they jingle, jingle, jingle tonight

Sing it to the moon, set it free

You're the angel on the top of my tree

Sing it to the spirit above

Sing your heart out with all of your love

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming for us

Oh, Santa's coming for us

Santa's coming to town

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

(Oh, da da da, oh, da da da)

Santa's coming to town

CODN SS! ❄️❄️❄️❄️

I actually love calla lilies and I know it's cliche, but I adore roses-both the scent and the flower.

I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I'll see you on the other side of the secret santa event! Looking forward to getting to know you outside the anons!

🎄🎄🎄🎄

Oooh calla lillies are so pretty!! And i actually have two rosebushes out my house---one deep pink and one light pink. Have a wonderful holiday and can't wait to meet you out of anons soon!!
