Yo ho ho! Your (no longer a secret) Santa has finally arrived! I am going to be honest when I say I had written 4 different oneshots with different plots but none of them felt right for @onepiecesecretsanta2018 Secret Sant Event until I settled in for this one.

I hope you enjoy this and have a lovely holiday!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May all your dreams and desires come true in 2019!

Remember to take care of yourself!

Cheers!

When the stars above was a glittering abyss, a mere reflection of the ocean below. So many stars, so many possibilities and fate would have it that across the vast ocean their two souls were united.

The inky black like the shadows that chased her all her life. Demon Child they had dubbed her; hunting her like a mere prey when she was just a child.

He was just a boy who created his ships, crafted them with technology far more sophisticated than most on Water 7. Hoping to surpass his master one day.

Of course the Fates were cruel.

They were mere children- an archaeologist and a ship wright- yet the Fates had plans for them when they tore it all away from them.

Like the glittering stars above, their saving grace had arrived in the form of a boy - No. Man. No longer a boy but a man, who saved them from the world.

Shaping them into people they never thought they could be.

Now here they sat side by side on the deck of a Thousand Sunny. Soft flakes decorating their ship with its gently touch.

Lights entwined on the railings and the head of the mighty lion. Mistle toes and wreaths upon the doors.

The poor chef hoping to catch Nami, Robin, Vivi or Carrot under it but no such luck.

Though they couldn't get a real Christmas tree for the holiday, Franky the assistance of Ussop and Chopper had built them one a truly SUPER tree with presents bundled at the base

"Robin! Franky! Come join us!"

Robin looked up from the book she was reading when her name was called.

Chuckling at the Captain who was making his snowman along with Chopper and Ussop. His contagious grin with childlike mirth as he dangled upside down by the Snowman's neck

"Luffy! You're going to break his neck!" Ussop cried out- his finger waved in exaggeration

"Nuh uh! He has a strong neck! Mr Snowman will be fine!" Luffy waved off the concern. Much to Robin's amusement and Ussop's terror that was the cue for the head to fall off. The chaos that ensued amongst the three- yelling, punching and frantic fixing of the Snowman- brought a laugh from the raven haired beauty.

"They certainly keep things lively here don't they?"

The Cyborg rose his gaze from the small contraption he was tinkering with "They sure do! They keep everything here SUPER!"

The man's catchphrase brought another bout of laughter from the archeologist "What are you making Franky?"

"Oh this?" He grins standing up "Why don't I just show you" Robin's brows rose in curiosity, accepting the hand offered to her as she stood.

The turquoise haired male faced the rest of his nakama "Hey! Come closer! I got a SUPER surprise for you all!"

The fight over the decapitated Snowman forgotten, members of the crew gathered around. Even the tired swordsman approached, stretching his arms.

"Hey Captain, would you do the honours of turning the lever for the surprise?" Franky smirked offering the 'Jack-in-the-box' like contraption.

He shouldn't have asked. The face splitting grin that stretched upon the captain's face was answer enough "HELL YEAH I DO! GIMME!" The contraption was already in Strawhat's hands.

The crew watched in anticipation as the cliché music followed but what popped out wasn't a Jack. It was a small a tiny star that shot up and exploded in the night sky.

Fireworks

The crew stared in awe at the beautiful display with wide eyes and grins. Of course this would not have been the shipwrights creation if they were plain fireworks. The stardust slowly took shape into faces and places. Into loving memories of the adventures they have had so far. Memories of those who are still here and those who have fallen.

There were tears and laughter as the faces flashed across the sky. Of Fishman Island and Princess Sirahoshi, of the crew facing the World Government at Enies Lobby, of the Going Mary, Sky Island, Laboon, of Nami and Vivi's kiss, Of Wano and the little kunoichi. People. Places. Events that made them who they were today.

"You have truly out done yourself this time, Franky" Robin whispered softly. A gentle hand on his massive one, offering a napkin at his tear streaked face

"Thanks. I told you it was SUPER!" He tried composing himself. He glanced at his crew- still entranced by the show in the heavens. He leaned forward and whispered, pointing above their heads "Mistletoe"

"Indeed it is" she murmurs. Her Devil Fruit giving her a boost in height as she gently caressed his cheek "Merry Christmas Franky"

"Merry Christmas Nico Robin"

6. Favourite character you ever created.

I don’t have a lot of OCs, but of those I have, Suze is probably my favourite! Former doctor of the Roger Pirates, has about zero chill. Would spend most of her day naked if she could, but Garp threatened to arrest her for indecency if she flashed someone again. Loves her easily flustered barmaid granddaughter more than anything else. 10/10 would trust with a scalpel, unless she’s coming up behind you with one.

20. Post a snippet of a WIP you’re working on.

From The Water Gives, the Shanks x Makino Siren!AU that I keep forgetting I have in my WIP folder:

There’s a way this usually goes; a set of unspoken rules, ingrained early and repeated often. The first whisper of the water in a newborn’s ears carries the knowledge. The currents shape the knowledge into law, until it no longer requires thinking. It’s like breathing, goes the human saying, and sea-folk pilfer things they like.

Stay near the surface of the water, but don’t show yourself too soon. A glimpse is enough to get their hearts racing, and when they do, listen for the rhythm; the leaps and the skips. With practice, you might tell the crooked from the kind, but it makes little difference in the end. When sated, all hearts stop beating.

Fave character design?In general and not like a one-time costume change, yeah? I must say, Luffy’s design is intriguing in that it doesn’t scream ‘main character’ to me. Which is a nice change from other shows.

I don’t think I can choose but as of right now, I am pretty in love with and obsessed with Katakuri’s design.

Scene that made you cry the most?It would probably have been Ace’s death if it hadn’t been thoroughly spoiled for me way before I got to it. As was Robins bit. As was Fishman Island. As was Vivi’s scenes. The only thing that was NOT spoiled for me was Arlong Park. Partly because it was AT Arlong Park that I could finally call myself a fan and not just someone watching it for a friend. I began looking up the series and learning more after this, which resulted in a lot of things getting spoiled.

So I think I would have to go with Nami stabbing herself and that little bit where she was just so angry and so desperate. I was completely dumb-founded and overwhelmed by how well such a moment of helplessness was portrayed. It was probably more shock than anything, I think, because I’d never seen such a well written and well-executed build up before and never had I seen a character shatter so completely like she had in that moment. 

I recall silently sobbing in awe the whole scene.

//I punched two kids in high school, and in second grade I football tackled a fifth grader and made him cry since him and his friends were bullying my friend Matthew. 

AHHH HALLO!! Æ tenke ikke over at det e mange fra Skandinavia i fandomet her, så æ blir alltid så overraska! Og tusen takk!! Ja, æ føle med dæ, det har vært helt ekstremt i siste innspurt mot jul, men no får æ (forhåpentligvis!) endelig litt tid til å jobbe med Charybdis!
