Katherine meets Nightlight (Redraw of an old artwork from 2021; old version below!)

She’d soared above the tallest trees in Santoff Claussen and passed a flock of startled geese. She soared higher than she had even imagined; below her, Santoff Claussen looked rather small, and the outside world very large and inviting. She trusted the djinni to catch her—after all, North had made it.

Then, floating just a few feet in front of her, was a small cloud, not much bigger than a feather bed. On that cloud, to her complete and utter surprise, crouched . . . a boy. The same boy who had come to their rescue back in the forest! He was looking right at her. Katherine gasped—she had seen him only that one time. In daylight he shimmered even more brilliantly. and . . . and . . . how was it that he could stand on a cloud? She stared, stunned.

They had only a single second together. She smiled at him. He smiled back. She reached out her hand, and he did as well. Their fingertips were just about to touch. Then she began to drop.

Katherine x Jack oneshot

"You're not him."

- Katherine's Diary -

Dear diary

It's now been exactly 1.095 days after Jack became Jack. We are now in the year of 1936, and I am sitting here - in Big Root - all alone in my old childhood bunk bed, writing this paragraph. It's New Years Eve, and all of Santoff Claussen is celebrating the new year excitingly; with Jack making it a "snow day," as he likes to call it, for everyone. I wish I could join them. But something just feels so off to me lately, I was not able to tell what it is or where the feeling originated from - until now. Whenever I look at Jack, something just doesn't align anymore. It's like a sting in my heart, so quite the opposite of "butterflies in your stomach." You'd think by now I am used to his new appearance. But no... I -

Just at that moment, Jack came in running and burst the door open, swiftly closing it behind his back. Breathing heavily, in and out, the boy lifted his head, staring at a completely perplexed Katherine. The children had set up a snowball fight, and Jack was obviously, to his own surprise, losing. It was also long past their bedtime already, hence why all the children were awake, still.

The night filled the air with a swift cold breeze, and the stars shimmered in all their glory. But every year at New years Eve, they were allowed to stay up longer than the parents usually permitted. It was a highly priced event for the kids because in that night, they could see the constellations Katherine had told them about in all her stories. For the big wrap-up of the night, Ombric sets up his huge telescope for them to watch the constellations up close, which always causes great excitement amongst the town's children.

However, Katherine closed her book quickly, hiding it behind her back. She didn't want Jack to feel like she was hiding something from him, but Jack knew it was more than obvious that something wasn't alright. He knew his Katherine better than she wanted to admit. As his heavy breaths calmed down, he approached - and sat beside her. Katherine rubbed her arm nervously, trying not to lock eyes with him. She then clutched to the sheets of her bed, trying to ease her tension somehow. When Jack made note of that, he immediately reached for her tensed hands and placed them within his own rather cold hands. Moments later, Katherine could feel her chin being lifted after she'd calmed.

"Katherine. I can sense you're overthinking about something. Mind telling me what it is? You've been very distant toward me lately." His soft-spoken words made the girl ease her expression and the grip she had on his hands. "Take your time. I'm here to listen." She took a deep breath, then nodded. "Look, Jack. I-" Katherine stopped, pulling back her hands. "I don't know... it's just... When I look into your eyes, I see HIM. But you're not him. You're just ... Jack."

Jack tilted his head, raising an eyebrow. He was obviously quite confused and tried to understand her words. "You're speaking in riddles. Who's 'he'?" he questioned. Katherine's face lowered again. She appeared rather troubled and sad because she knew Jack was purposefully wiping his memories of the past and wouldn't stop doing so.

"Nightlight." she finally managed to say - there was just so much agony in that voice of hers when mentioning that name. "You mean the boy you're always talking about to me, right?" Katherine nodded in agreement. "You miss him. I can sense that. From all the stories you told me about him, I think you were really close." Katherine nodded again but turned away when a tired honk was heard from a corner. Kailash had just awakened from all the noise that was going on outside of Big Root. She waddled up to the both of them and huddled beside Katherine. Petting Kailash's head, she continued. "You're talking of Nightlight as if he was a different person. You're him, but you're NOT him. And that's the problem. Nightlight is gone, and he'll never return."

As tears start to form in her watery grey eyes, Jack tenderly wiped his finger over Katherine's cheeks as they flow down, removing them. "Katherine, look. I know I am not him as much as you know. But maybe it's time to see me as who I am now, not as whom I used to be. I may never compete to the legacy of Nightlight, but I know he was always there for you. And I am trying my absolute best to do the same. Now, how about we go watch the constellations and teach them to the kids like you taught me, shall we?" Jack suggested, grinning. She silently agreed and bent sideways to kiss his cheek, then proceeded to walk outside. "Thank you, Jack. Nightlight would've wanted me to do the same."

SUPLEX (because although daggers/magic/words/swords are her usual weapons of choice this was the first thing that came to mind im sorry)

this is for whichever fellow @rotgsecretsanta participant sent out the request #33 containing not only the choice to make content of one of my favorite rarepairs but of them in a friendly game of mistlefoe! (which is way more fun than classic mistletoeing imo, as great as smooches are)

bonus:

Awww, this is a very cute and sweet headcanon list! I love everything on your list!

Katherine and Jack headcanons

I don't get super shippy on here but I have a migraine during a storm so I need some comfort content rn.

Jack often likes to cuddle up to her for her warmth. Katherine can bare his cold feet and hands at times but has to wear gloves if he's trying to be cute in winter. He'll sometimes spook her with his cold hands and it often earns him a bop from a pillow. Kat doesn't mind that much though.

Katherine knows Jack has to bounce from place to place on occassion but knows he will always come back. She trusts him enough to know the only dumb decisions he'll make is flying through a thunderstorm etc.

It's common for Jack to find Katherine working for hours on end without taking breaks for self care. He's very good at convincing her to take breaks with him. Mostly because he's too stubborn to stop trying to pry her away from her desk.

In Ganderly, they sometimes play hide and seek because the sheer size of her libraries are perfect for games like that.

Jack sometimes brings back plants for her press in books to preserve them. She finds it very sweet and usually gives him a lil smooch on his cheek everytime a new one is in her collection.

One of their date routines is nature walks. Their favorite season to go walking is Autumn. The colors of the leafs remind Jack of Katherine's hair and Katherine loves the cool winds that tickle her face. She's never 100% sure if they're natural or if its Jack.

A newer date idea Jack has had is taking Katherine to cool abandoned places he's discovered. Katherine eats it up and usually takes a camera with her to capture "the magic" as she calls it. The way her eyes light up at the decrepit buildings always makes his day.

By Katherine's desk is a corkboard thats filled with pictures her n Jack of taken of their explorations, dates and even their friends. When it gets full she makes albums and labels them by date and organizes them by year. Jack thinks its cute how organized she is with it and loves looking through the album with her.

Jack loves listening to her read to him. She's a very captivating storyteller so he'll get wrapped up in the story and often daydream whats going on as she reads. Katherine thinks its cute and knows he's paying attention even if he isn't looking at her.

Katherine is on the autism spectrum and Jack is adhd. They know how the other operates pretty well. If their emotions get out of their control they try to communicate so nobody's toes get stepped on. It doesn't always work but they try their best.

They love to test out stim toys North develops and Katherine keeps the ones Jack loves the most. He often picks them right up during his visits in Ganderly.

Jack thinks its hilarious how Katherine gets weak in the knees over big feminine spirits. That is until Katherine brings up his taste in men, then Jack just hides his face in his hoodie.

If you asked them to name a song that fits the both of them they'd probably respond with "Sweater Weather" by The Neighborhood or "Pretend" by Lights
