Since today would be the perfect time to discuss it, how does the Christmas special go in acid green and navy blue?
:0 anon you’re so right
If we’re inserting the au into the canon special Chris could be trying to stop the villains as well, but refuses to do it with the crew. After realizing he can’t do it on his own he’d fly by to help them when they’re trapped on the ice. He doesn’t stay for the party, but Martin and him can at least bond over the first time they’ve worked together in 10 years
I’m thinking each au gets its own special. Maybe it replaces the canon one, maybe it happens after, whatever. AG’s starts out with Zach wanting to turn baby animals into toys, which Chris negotiates into modeling the toys after them instead, his part of the deal being that he has to help get them. Chris doesn’t exactly like it, but it’s better than the alternative right? If he takes the babies, he can make sure they’re safe and get back to their mothers afterwards. It’s for the best
The crew of course tries to stop this, leading them on a wild goose chase across the world to save their various animal friends. The whole time martin has his backpack and is very protective of it, but doesn’t explain why it’s so important. When they’re fighting, Chris grabs it to snatch a baby and finds,,
A jacket inside. A brand new, green pullover jacket
Martin knew Chris wanted nothing to do with him. He just wanted to pretend like they were close again for a little while. That maybe- just maybe- he’d have the chance to give it to him. An olive branch of sorts. Seems pretty stupid now, huh?
Whether out of genuine guilt or from the shock of being offered a gift at all, Chris can’t go through with it. He gives back the baby and breaks the others out, telling Zach he can shove whatever consumerist junk he had in mind up his ass, because Chris isn’t bending his morals for him anymore. The day is saved and though Martin tries to convince him to stay, Chris leaves while the crew returns the animals. During the credits we see a shot of him outside his apartment wearing the new jacket and playing with Biscuit in the snow
Same as the first: if we’re talking in the canon special than he could be helping the villains catch water creatures, but bails to sail the crew back to shore in the end
In its own special we start with the crew of Martin’s ship, The Wellermen, celebrating the holidays with a night of drinking. But uh oh! Turns out they have one last quota to make- seal skins. Well boys, we don’t want the buyers to be a few pelts short for the holidays now so we
The bulk of the special is the crew’s attempts to stop the ship from attacking the nearby seals, hijinks and shenanigans on both sides. By the end the crew saves all the seals but one, a baby harbor seal Chris named Little Flipper, which Martin had stolen from its mother earlier and hid in his jacket. A baby’s pelt is much softer and more valuable than an adults. He has the chance to save the night for the wellermen, to be praised and appreciated by the people who’ve beaten him down ever since he set foot on their ship
Instead he goes to the crew. Chris is ecstatic and hugs his brother for the first time in years, and it’s hesitantly requited. He invites Martin to celebrate with them but he declines
But Chris… he did good, he really did. Martin doesn’t always like how his brother does his job but this time he can say he really made a difference. Even if just to Little Flipper. Merry Christmas bro
