Christmas Bonus Sneak Peek

I feel bad for making you guys wait so long for the next part of the Life Down on the Farm series. So, please enjoy a sneak peek of the next part while I continue to work on it!

Click the Read More to see the first bit.

By the time that Jason reached the little farm, it was so late that it was nearly early. The weather was bitterly cold, his breath fogging in front of his face as he pulled his motorcycle helmet off. His fingers were numb, even with the thick leather gloves he was wearing. Like something out of a Christmas movie, little fluffy flakes of snow had started floating down from thick low cloud cover just as Jason had started to rumble slowly up the rutted dirt driveway to Tim's little farm house.

Outside, the smell of wood smoke was thick in the air, a cheery little column of it marching out the top of the chimney to join the gray clouds crowding close to the ground and obscuring the coldly twinkling stars above. As Jason dismounted his bike and pulled off his helmet, he regarded the ridiculously quaint picture it made.

An old stone farmhouse squatting on the side of a rolling hillside framed by a red barn, an orchard empty of leaves and a quiet empty field with soft fluffy gray clouds disgorging even fluffier light snowfall. It was like an old-timey Christmas picture and Jason was having a hard time reconciling it with Tim Drake: hacker, vigilante and the youngest CEO of a fortune five hundred company in history.

Already tired, Jason blew a curl of hair off his forehead and turned around to unpack the box of cookies from his saddlebag. Hopefully they were still intact after all the bouncing he had done up and down hills to get there.

The old front porch creaked under Jason's boots, and he raised his fist to knock on the front door before he could talk himself out of it. From behind the door, Jason heard some thumps and fumbling. A warm firelight orange stained the thin white curtains in the front windows. The curtains were twitched aside by pale thin fingers and a single dark blue eye peered out at him and Jason peered back impassively for a pregnant second. Then, the curtain twitched shut, and no more sounds came from the other side.

Jason fully expected Tim to ignore him and was already trying to psych himself up for what was promising to be a long, cold drive back to Gotham in snowy weather when the sounds of the door unlatching reached him. Before he could do more than raise his eyebrows, the door was swinging inward to reveal a Timothy Drake that Jason didn't recognize.

When he had seen Tim over a year ago, he had looked like a ghost of the boy he presented to the rest of the world. But, the Tim that was regarding him suspiciously from the doorway (and hiding a small knife in the palm of his left hand very well, but not well enough) looked like a completely different person.

His hair was longer, long enough to be gathered into a loose ponytail at the nape of his neck, the longer pieces of hair around his face made him look softer and kinder, even though his face was still angular and narrow. Speaking of his face, that had filled out a lot too. It had never occurred to Jason that Tim's razor sharp cheekbones and chin might have been owed more to malnutrition than good genetics, but Tim's fuller face put a lot of credence to that. Even his skin looked different, no longer ghostly pale white, his skin had a shade of brown to it and little moles had popped up on his face and the back of the hand that Jason could see. One small one on the side of his nose and another at the corner of his right eye.

Everything about him looked healthier, more solid. His shoulders were wider, his stance more solid, he even looked like he had grown an inch or so since Jason had last seen him.

Jason didn't realize his mouth was hanging open until Tim scoffed and put his knife away with an eye roll. He closed his mouth with a click of his teeth.

(I hope you guys like it so far! I'll keep working on it and hopefully have it posted soon!)

This might be a little self-indulgent prompt because I’m currently in my Christmas jammies but imagine Satoru seeing you for the first time in your Christmas elf pajamas that you wear every year

ANON THIS IS O CUTE 😭😭😭😭 no because i got my first matching pj set this year and I’m SO excited to wear them 😭😭😭

i can imagine him already unpacking the ornaments to decorate the tree and you’re like “hold on i have to get in uniform,” with the most serious look on your face.

he’s just standing them dumbfounded, shiny ornament in his hand as you walk into your shared bedroom, energizing minutes later clad in your matching christmas jammies, fuzzy socks with polar bears in Santa hats on your feet.

“alright I’m ready,” you smile, satoru’s mouth is open a bit, a smile on his face and eyes sparkling as he takes you in.

he didn’t think it was possible, but he loved you more now than he did before. “you look so-” he begins, “silly?” you cut him off, he shakes his head immediately.

“adorable!” he exclaims, setting the ornament down and taking two king strides before swooping you into his arms. “god i love you so much,” he giggles, pressing kisses all over your face, “Santa’s little helper,” he laughs, setting you down, “you know what it’s fitting! considering how short you are.”

you gasp at him, smacking his arm playfully, “you’re just tall! anyone to you is short,” you huff. satoru pressing a kiss to your pouty lips, smiling when throw your arms over his shoulders, fingers playing with the tuft of snowy hair at the nape of his neck (he’s glad his hair was overgrown if meant you’d play with it like this).

“we’ll now i just feel left out,” he sighs dramatically, “just ‘cause I’m tall i cant have christmas jammies? i cant be an elf with my lover?” satoru could’ve been an actor, an Oscar nominee at that.

there’s already tears pricking his eyes when you laugh at him, pulling away from his embrace and grabbing the ornament he had set down. “I got you a matching set, in already on the bed.”

he would absolutely light up, giddy as he ran into the bedroom, changing faster than he ever had and emerging in a matching set, “now I’m ready to decorate!”

he never went another Christmas without a matching pj set, always making sure the two of you matched during the tree decoration.

For once, I already had the perfect Christmas post ready to go weeks ago.

...cause I'm not gonna be able to top getting to photograph the Broadway-tour Grinch.

This is it.

I'll never do something cooler – or more festive – than this.

...unless maybe if Santa himself needs a portrait next year.

Merry Christmas to all y'all celebrating... hopefully the big green guy didn't steal your presents.

A couple drawings I am doing and are more time sensitive ended up bigger than I thought. So just a little delay on the next episode. Not a big one though. ^-^

Just a little delay. Busy time of year with a lot planned. Hence the lack of smaller drawings too. And why I started back half-way through November. XD
