#christmascrossoverAU

[10yrsyart]

i was just thinking they would have an interesting friendship dynamic. Mischief Maker with a heart of gold Jack Frost, and Head Elf “I don’t get payed enough for this” Bernard 😂 they also both happen to have access to magical travel snowglobes yknow so..

Christmas Crossover AU

transcript:

(comic one)

Jack: So, you come here often?

Bernard: Occasionally.. if necessary.

Bernard: Hey, nice hoodie. Did we do this one?

Jack: Uh.. well, technically-

(comic two)

Jack: Bernard, how's it going?

Bernard: Jack?! How'd you get here? Wait- don't tell me, I don't want to know. I can't talk, don't you know how busy we are right now??

Jack: Why don't I help? Wow some elves with my talents, ey?

Bernard: “Jack Frost” has a reputation here, so it's probably best to steer clear of Santa. And the elves. Actually, please come back later when I'm not drowning in work.

Jack: Aww what, don't you enjoy my company?

Bernard: That's hardly the p- IS THAT REINDEER ORANGE?!! (off screen): Sorry, Bernard!

(comic three)

Jack: So how long has it been since you had a real vacation?

Bernard: Oh, at least 500 years.. probably.

Jack: 500? Impressive! I wasn't even born as a human yet.

Bernard: Look'atcha, all green around the edges~

Jack: Hey, 400 years is nothing to scoff at...

Bernard: Please. You, my icy friend, are an infant.

my bestie suggested more Christmas Crossover AU and i couldn’t say no to that 😂 the differing elf lore is funny to me so i had to address it somehow. i think that after dealing with North, the elves would flock to someone who takes them (semi) seriously. and Bernard just hits that balance of grumpy efficiency 👌

transcript:

Bernard: Why am I here

Jack: You need to get out more, I'm getting you out more.

Bernard: My job is management and keeping out intruders. I'm not supposed to become one.

Jack. It's fine, I'm allowed in here. North is just out for the day.

Bernard: You brought me to see a bunch of gnomes?

Jack: No no, not gnomes, elves. Go on, say something to them!

Bernard: Encouragement really isn't my strong suit-

Jack: Then do what you do best~

Bernard: ...Right.

Bernard: You! What're your jobs around here?

Elf 1: (~)

Bernard: Bakers? Cocoa brewers? Excellent. And you?

Elf 2: (~)

Bernard: Musician, fantastic. Traditional positions huh.

Elf 3: (~!)

Bernard: “Haughty”? Of course he's haughty, all Santas are. They don't appreciate the nuance of the background workforce. We elves are the vital backbone of Santa's workshop. You all have important tasks to keep, so I’m expecting good results from you.

Bernard: And I don't like to be disappointed. Capiche?

(elves cheery excitedly)

Jack: Oooh, looks like someone’s got some new fans! North is gonna love this.

Jack: You know the elves don't do the actual toy making, right?

Bernard: Whatdo'ya take me for, an amateur?

(Bonus 1)

Curtis: This is the fifth stack of personal letters you've received this week, Bernard. This is all highly suspicious..

Bernard: Curtis, you wouldn't know “suspicious” if it hit you in the face with a bowl of waxed fruit.

(Bonus 2)

North: There's something wrong with the elves, I'm sure of it!

Tooth: How so?

North: These are the BEST. Cookies. I have ever eaten!

(Jack laughs quietly)
