I call this one "The Corporate Sponsored Gyjo Christmas Special". Enjoy!

(bonus comic below the cut)

Fun fact: $20 USD in 1890's money would adjust to somewhere in the ballpark of $653 USD at the time of posting this (2024).

sad to announce hugh jackman oiled up and wearing nothing but a bow was NOT under my tree this year.. but i understand they might be shipping him from new york so i can wait a while

[idylls-of-the-divine-romance]

I love the Christ Child. The Divine Babe. Just like, as an image. This is a baby, barely even 2 years old. Angelic warriors attend his birth. Pagan astrologers, the advisors to kings and emperors, journey miles and miles at great expense to worship this child. The King of the Babe's hometown, is so threatened by the birth of this infant, that he commits an infanticide. The divine babe must become an immigrant - a stranger in a strange land.

In the city of Rome, the capital of the World, there is a man, Caesar Augustus, who claims to be the son of a god. But he is about to be challenged. By a baby in a manger.

The Best Things Happen While You're Dancing

Time to start cranking out the shippy Christmas art! While this doesn't look inherently Christmasy, to those in the know, this is from a scene from White Christmas to a song with the same title as the drawing. It's one of @reanimatedmuses and my mutual favorite Christmas movies, so it only seemed appropriate to put our ship in it!

Once again, Kurt proves difficult to shade properly. Thanks, fuzzy blue elf.

Kissing under the mistletoe 🎄

Shunsui, Kisuke, Shinji, Grimmjow

Shunsui

Shunsui loves Christmas, he loves the festive atmosphere, the joy on the faces of everyone he passes. He enjoys the excuse to be merry, happily sipping on his precious sake As he basks in the merriment surrounding him. He enjoys all the traditions, new and old, from here and from lands far away that only appear in this magical time of year.

What he loves above all else is the way you throw yourself into the festive spirit, throughly enjoying each and every aspect of Christmas you can sink your teeth into. Your shared home carried the sweet smell of Christmas cookies you baked almost daily to hand out to friends and colleagues. You looked adorable, wrapped up in your warm Christmas jumper, smattering of flour on your rosy cheeks.

This is how Shunsui had found you, smiling brightly, covered in flour as you remove your latest tray of treats from the oven. After a long day of work, this is the only place he wanted to be. Well, less work and more chasing people down with a sprig of mistletoe, he should say. Man, woman, feral panther Espada. It didn’t matter, no one was safe from a dramatic smooch from the loveable old leech today.

He had saved the best kiss, the only kiss that mattered, for last.

You smile widely as Shunsui entered the kitchen, smelling faintly of the comforting liquor you had come to associate with him. Face flushed from the bitter wind outside, you hurriedly placed the trey on the counter to meet him in a warming hug. You could feel the chill lingering on his skin as his arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer into his chest.

"Welcome home" you nuzzle into his chest, smiling at the way he kissed your hair.

"You've been busy my love" he noted, peering over the top of your head at the array of freshly baked treats littering the kitchen. "I thought you had already handed out all your cookies this year?"

You pull from his embrace only to look him in the eye, your face splitting into a massive grin at the crooked smile he wore. "They're for you, I thought we could decorate them together 

"Sounds wonderful" he told you, bringing his hand up to cup your cheek, thumb brushing away the flour dirtying your nose "but first," 

You watched bemused as he started patting himself down, hands digging deep into his pockets in search of something you couldn't wait to see. With a triumphant grin, he pulled from his inner pocket some mistletoe, slightly abused in appearance by the less than delicate way it had previously been shoved into a pocket. You chuckle at the pout on his handsome face, the exaggerated, defeated slump in his shoulders at the anticlimactic reveal.

"Mistletoe?"

"Well, you know what they say if you DONT kiss under the mistletoe" he told you mysteriously, brushing his fingers over the limp leafs.

"Remind me. I can't quite recall". You stifle your laughter, though unable to keep the smile from your face as you played along

"If you don't kiss under the mistletoe, you break your mothers back, get seven years of bad luck, sink your ship. You know. The usual"  he raised the mistletoe to hang between you both, swaying it back and forth as you giggle at the absurd mishmash of superstitions he falsely proclaimed "better not tempt fate, wouldn't you agree?" 

You nod eagerly, reaching up on your tiptoes, you meet him in a playful kiss. His free arm wrapped around you, pulling you deeper into the kiss as your hands caressed over his chest, each smiling as your lips moulded together under the mistletoe.

Kisuke

"YN!" Kisuke slammed open your bedroom door with unnecessary force, scaring you half to death. You scramble over the present you were in the middle of wrapping. Tugging at the blanket on your bed, you tried to cover your gift before your nosy partner could catch a glimpse. You had told him what you were doing, and had threatened him with no presents if he continued to try and peek at what you had bought him before Christmas Day

"Kisuke!"  You scold him, leaning back to a sitting position now that you were sure your gift would remain a surprise now that it was covered in your bedding "Don't do that, you scared me half to death" 

Your stern frown went unnoticed as his eyes were fixated to the lump in the bed. Head tilted to the side, he began walking over "What have you got hiding under there?" He asked playfully, reaching out to attempt to tug at the comforter.. you slapped away the offending hand, satisfied with the unmanly yelp he gave. You rose to block his path as he shook the stinging slap off his hand, not letting it deter him away from his need to satisfy his curiosity.

"You know good and well what I'm doing in here. Out!" You try to push him from the room, not gaining an inch of ground as he planted his feet and watched you amused.

"Don't be like that, I just want a little peek" he chuckled, leaning around you to attempt to grab at the covering again. You grab his wandering hands, pulling them together between you.

"Kisuke, I swear to what ever god or demon is listening, if you don't get out and let me finish wrapping in peace, I'm going to.."

"You'll...? What?" Cocky bastard. He knew you loved Christmas too much to actually deny yourself the pleasure of seeing his face when he finally got to open his present

"Something very unchristmassy" you settle on weakly, giving him your best 'Im serious' face. "Now out, you nosy bastard" 

"Just a peek?" He tried again, enjoying himself immensely with your futile attempts to get him leaving

"Haven't you ever heard of 'curiosity killing the cat?' You stubbornly refuse to let him ruin the surprise. It had taken you ages to find the perfect gift, and you've spent too many weeks hiding it for him to ruin the surprise now

"Have you ever heard of instant gratification?" He countered smugly, wrapping his arms around your waist, sneaking his hands over your ass and giving it a playful squeeze. You rolled your eyes, He was impossible.

"Did you just come in to grope me?" You accused, settling your hands on his chest now that he was no longer attempting to uncover your secret

"Just an opportunity I couldn't let pass without taking advantage" he grinned down at you, giving your derrière another loving fondle "I actually wanted to show you something, can you come with me a moment?"

You eye him dubiously, he was a sneaky man, with many tricks up his sleeve. This could all just be a ploy to lower your guard and capture his prize. "If you're just trying to get me far enough away so you can race back here and look.."

"On my honour" he grinned down at you "I really just want to show you something".

You search his face for any deceit, finding nothing but the unruly tuft of hair sitting on his nose. You nod reluctantly, allowing him to intertwine his fingers with your own and lead you from the room. You follow behind him through your home, getting ready to run back into the room should he make any sudden movements. You were lead to the front doors, where Kisuke helped you into your coat, sitting his hat atop your head to help with the bitter chill of the snow covered garden.

You followed him out silently, smiling at the deep crunch of snow beneath your feet. You loved that sound. Kisuke pulled you under the large tree at the bottom of the garden, turning to face you with a face splitting grin

"Tada!"  He exclaimed, throwing his arms out in a grand gesture. You looked at him confused, not seeing what was so special. His smile softened, placing two fingers under your chin and directing your vision upwards"Look up"

Mistletoe clung to the branches, trailing down beautifully, little white berries glistening with the melting snow. You smile, reaching up to brush your fingers over the frostbitten leafs. They were so pretty, and didn't usually grow there "mistletoe " you spoke softly

Not one to waste an opportunity, you lean in, fingers wrapping tightly into Kisuke's clothing. He leaned down, lips curved into a smirk. A breath away from lips touching, Kisuke leaned back, just out of your reach to teasingly murmur"look who's all about instant gratification now"

You huff amused, fingers tightening in his clothing and pulling him towards you. He came willingly, capturing your lips with enthusiasm, hands returning to their favourite place on your ass and pushing you into him.

"I'm still not letting you see your present" you mumble against his lips, kissing away his answering laugh.

Shinji

You were hanging around in Shinji's office, waiting for him to finish writing up his report so he could join you at the christmas party currently being held in the 8th. Shinji has never been overly bothered about Christmas. Sure, he liked the quality time he got to spend with you, and the look on your face when he gave you your presents, the rest of the holiday though, he could take or leave. He didn't dislike Christmas, just wasn't as in love with it as you were.

You distracted yourself by looking around the place, admiring the decorations his lieutenant had put up around the office. The tree was modest in size, but was so beautifully decorated you couldn't tear your eyes away from it. Until something green and white caught your attention. Secure to the top of the door frame was a little bundle of mistletoe. You haven't yet managed to get Shinji under some, and desperately wanted that Christmas kiss.

You stand from the sofa kept there for guests, subtly making a show of stretching your arms above your head, acting like you were just getting stiff from sitting down. Shinji noticed your movements, hardly looking up from his scribbling "ya alrigh' babe?" 

"Fine, just stretching my legs" you feign innocence, walking lazily over to the tree to brush your fingers over the baubles, eyes subtly flicking to the prize hanging in the doorway.

"Nearly finished Doll" already back focused on his report, you caught the flash of metal on his tongue as it poked out in concentration. You couldn't wait to feel it slide against your own. Nonchalantly you make your way over to the exit, leaning against the door frame, perfectly under the mistletoe. You waited patiently, eyes not leaving your partner as he focused on his work

It was taking to long.

"Shin?" You called trying to keep the impatience from your voice. You needed him up out of that seat and under this doorway. Not looking up from his writing, he grunted, letting him know you had his attention "could I have some of your water please?

Without looking up he blindly reached for his water bottle, chucking it loftily across the room to you. You fumbled the catch, unprepared for the sudden launch. Scrambling to catch it before it hit the floor, you let out an exasperated huff. "Thanks" you mutter disappointed that he didn't get up and bring it to you , before sipping at the room temperature liquid

"Anythin' for ya doll face" Honestly, you've never seen him concentrate on paperwork so diligently before, why did he have to start now? If you wanted him out of that seat, you needed to think of something that would pull all his focus. If there was one thing you knew about Shinji, he liked winning.

"You know, I think I've gotten taller"you say conversationally, stretching out to your full height. You hear his answering snort before he pulled his eyes away from his desk to look at you

"Are ya mental? Yer still the same short ass ya were yesterday" you hooked him, now all you had to do was reel him in..

"I'm serious" you protest, pouting your lips prettily, knowing he enjoyed seeing it, before letting it slip into a sly smirk "I think I'm you're height now"

Shinji shook his head chuckling, eyes drifting back down to his paperwork. "Yer still half a foot shorter than me babe"

"Wanna bet?"

You saw his eyes flash competitively, placing his pen down on the desk. Got him. He pushed his chair back, raising to hit feet confidently. Amused grin on his face as he walked around his desk, watching you intently. The height difference was clearly obvious before he even reached you, towering a good six or seven inches above you

"Ya wanna rethink ya statement?"  He asked you cockily, standing close to exaggerate the angle in which he had to look down. You grin at him triumphantly, pointing a finger straight up. Shinji saw your finger and followed its direction, sighing when he saw the mistletoe hanging between you. He gave you a disbelieving look, realising quickly how you had tricked him "Really?"

"It's tradition" Shinji sighed, playing along with his disinterest. Rolling his eyes, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer into his body

"If ya wanted a kiss so badly, ya coulda just asked" He muttered before planting his lips against yours, sweetly at first, before deepening the kiss. Pushing you back into the door frame, he loomed over you, dominating the kiss. You moan into his mouth, pleased with the enthusiasm he met you with. He kissed you again, softer, lingering before he pulled away, smirking at your breathless state.

"I think I'll take this home," he said reaching up to take the mistletoe from the wood. Walking backward to his desk, he held your gaze with a lecherous grin, lowering the mistletoe to hold above his crotch, "We can use it later"

"really?"  You asked him, struggling to hide your smile. He shot you a wink, grinning widely

"It's tradition after all "

Grimmjow

You wept softly, drying your eyes on the blanket you had wrapped around you. You couldn't tear your eyes away from the most romantic scene you had ever watched in a movie. The man poured his heart out, bearing his sole to his soul mate, begging her not to leave. Her face mirrored your own, tear stained, raw emotion shining in her eyes as the flurry of snow whipped around them 

"Mistletoe" the woman whispered, looking up at the lush bunch of greenery hanging above their heads. Like magnets they snapped together, clinging to each other desperately, pouring their love for each other through their passionate kiss as the screen slowly faded to black. You sniffle quietly, dabbing away the last few tears escaping from your eyes 

"That was the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen"

Your eyes snap to the gruff voice, widening in disbelief. His arms were crossed over his wide chest, legs spread out comfortably on the couch besides you. He looked disgusted, almost sneering at the rolling credits. "Did you just watch the same thing I did? Grimmjow, that is one of the most romantic Christmas movies ever made" 

He looked at you disbelieving, eye brows furrowing at the wet trails down your cheeks "the fuck you crying' for woman?" He snapped gruffly  , turning his attention back to the tv to turn it off. Dropping the remote he stretches his arms high above his head, cracking his spine as he arched off the couch. " Fucking pathetic, chasing down a woman who doesn't want you, ain't he got no pride?"

You mouth hung open, gonsmacked by what you wear hearing. Sure, Grimmjow wasn't the most sensitive of guys, struggled with his own emotions, and by default resorted to snappy retorts. But couldn't he see the romance? The love? 

"You wouldn't chase after me?"

He snorted, eyeing you amused "Fuck no. If ya don't want me I ain't gunna try and beg ya to come back". He shrugged, missing the hurt flash over your face "Stay cos you wanna stay" 

You felt a pang of pain in your chest, the sting of tears prickling behind your eyes. He didn't love you enough to fight for you? For what you had? Throwing the blanket off your body, ignoring the mutter "the fuck?" Grimmjow gave as it hit him in the face, you jumped to your feet 

"How silly of me. I forgot what an unromantic ass you are" 

"hey" Grimmjow growled, attempting to take hold of your hand as you stomped past him. You jerked it out of his reach, giving him an icey look before stomping through your living "Oi! The fuck is your problem?"

"Fuck off Grimmjow" you snapped, slamming the bedroom door behind you, a clear indication he wasn't welcome in your bed tonight 

"YN!" Grimmjow screamed after you, punching the couch in annoyance at your silence. The fuck was your problem now?! He had suffered through that weak ass movie because you had wanted to watch it. Now you were pissed? "Fucking emotional woman"

��——

You lay on your bed, tears long since stopped. Maybe you had over reacted. You know what Grimmjow was like. He wasn't the hearts and flowers guy, you knew that, accepted that. He showed you he cared in his own way, it wasn't really fair of you to get angry because he didn't agree with the romantic tendencies you held close to your heart. You weren't ready to apologise though. You were just as stubborn as he was, in many ways, you were a perfect pair. A night on the couch wouldn't hurt him. 

A quiet rap to the bedroom door had you sitting up in bed, staring at the wood with held breath. The silence prolonged, thickening the tension in the room. Another more insistent knock sounded soon after. You debated wether you should answer or pretend to be asleep, you were too tired to have an argument right now..

"Will you just open the fucking door?!" Grimmjow accentuated his snappy demand with a thud of his fist against the door. Rolling your eyes you crossed the space, pissy bastard. You ripped open the door, angry retort on your tongue dying when you saw what awaited on the other side. Grimmjow had his arm up in the air, holding in his hand what appeared to be..

"Grimmjow... is that... spinach?" You cock you head to the side in confusion, eyeing the tuft of green leafs pinched between his fingers. He shrugged, eyeing the vegetation before looking deep into your eyes 

"I don't know what the fuck mistletoe is or where to find it. This looked more like it than the broccoli did"

A startled laugh bubbled past your lips. That was so him. As daft as it was, the meaning was clear. He was apologising, attempting to be romantic knowing how much you loved romance. You heart felt like it grew three sizes, seeing the man you were head over heels for trying to give you what you wanted. 

You slam into him, wrapping your arms around his waist and squeezing tightly. "Thank you" you whisper, nuzzling your cheek into his chest. His spinach free hand came up to cup your head, keeping you close to his chest

"where the fuck is my kiss?"

You giggle, tilting up you chin to look at him. He wore his lopsided grin, the one that had your knees feeling weak every time you saw it. Reaching up you meet him half way, pouring all your love and appreciation into the kiss.

No he wasn't the hearts and flowers guy, he was better. He was Grimmjow

I just need to put a disclaimer here:

If you ship Rogue with anyone other than Gambit, I will personally see to it that the rest of your life is pure and utter misery. You will feel pain beyond anything you could possibly imagine and nothing else. <3

Imagine a Christmas party with the X-men, and Kurt teleports next to you with a mischievous flirty smile, and you then notice his tail holding mistletoe above the two of you. 🥰 ~ 🦊

Got me kicking my feet and twirling my hair over this one 🤭🤭

Wearing the UGLIEST Christmas sweaters that you guys made together. You thought you could be creative with fabric puff paint (It stuck together and became malformed) and he has candy canes and tinsel hot glued to his.

The group has already settled for the night and there's wrapping paper all over the floor. Jean and Scott have already retired for the night and Logan is on the lazy boy in the corner drinking spiked egg nog.

You both are drinking hot chocolate with every topping Kurt could find in the cupboard. You're sipping the warm liquid as the fuzzy blanket over your shoulder shifts awkwardly. Looking over at Kurt you see the dumbest look on his face, his eyebrows wiggling. You glance up to see the white berries tied with a ribbon to his tail. You roll your eyes, but before you can even say anything he kisses the peppermint whipped cream off of your upper lip.

THE FOXES DOING SECRET SANTA

From Renée to Matt

He likes them so much that he buys another pair with Fiona and Shrek.

From Matt to Nicky

He absolutely loves it.

From Nicky to Allison

She would wear it everyday if she could.

From Allison to Kevin

He hates it and never wears it with an exception for Allison's birthday.

From Kevin to Dan

"Funny gift coming from you."

"You are too nice, they need to know how much they suck."

"Kevin you are the one who should be reading that."

From Dan to Aaron

He brings it around with him in his pocket. When he's feeling smart and someone says something completely idiotic he wears it and coughs until they notice.

From Aaron to Neil

He uses it every day just to piss Aaron off. The mug takes many hits but always survives until Neil and Andrew adopt the cats. It lasts until Aaron's first visit, King pushes it off the table while looking at him straight in the eyes.

Andrew doesn't participate but he almost buys Neil this shirt when he sees it in a store. Almost.

His (unofficial) gift to Neil is letting him live when Neil stares at him for too long after saying "the only thing I have ever wanted for Christmas was peace, now I have so much more than that, I don't even know what more I could be asking for."

Neil picks Renee but she asks to whoever picked her to donate money to a charity of their choosing (I read this somewhere, don't know where but I liked the idea). He does it but still gets her a box with all of her favorite candies (Andrew helped but he says this doesn't count as participating).

They decide Nicky will not be participating in the future Secret Santas because he revealed his person and everyone else's in less than 3 days.

From Renée to Andrew
