Secret Santa Wish: Alluka and Nanika on the beach or in a flower field and getting to just be little girls having fun. (I’m sorry this took me so long. My gift for @strength-in-the-silence )

“And it’s a long way forward, so trust in me
I’ll give them shelter, like you’ve done for me
And I know, I’m not alone, you’ll be watching over us
Until you’re gone”

shelter
noun shel·ter \ ˈshel-tər \
Definition
something that covers or affords protection
Shelter, sanctuary, home,
For Nanika & me, that meant a prison
With high walls and heavy doors
The world is in the palm of our hands,
So big and full of life and love and light
And we’re running with it
We run towards open arms and bigger smiles
Piggy back for knees that bend
Wake in the morning to chase the sun up from the horizon
Everyday is new, everyday is a gift
The world’s in technicolor,
Melding into orange and pink
Moonlight blue and sunshine yellow
Home is where the heart is and our heart is in our every moment
Warmth and hope and love
Big brother brought the world to us, brought new people
Big brother said family isn’t only blood, it’s the people you meet along the way
Leorio and Kurapika and Gon
Palm and Ikalgo and Mito
We call them family
Floating in an endless ocean, held up by the currents
Family is on the shore
The tides could wash us away but we’ve never felt safer
Happier
We know what that means now, what it looks like and feels like
We’ll never let go
When the sun sets too low and our fingers are pruned just enough
Big brother calls us back to land
Gon and Leorio set a fire
Kurapika makes sandwiches
Nanika begs Big brother to make last minute sandcastles
“To know we were here, Killua!”, she says in explanation
And big brother’s eyes soften, hair so long it falls over his forehead
“We’ll make sure they’re the biggest this beach has seen, yet, Nanika. I promise.”
Extra hands join, larger and spanning greater distance to create our kingdom
When eyes light up in mock fury and fingers point
Leorio to Gon and Kurapika to Leorio
From sandcastle exploration to destruction
Pillars fall, the moon waxes
Me and Nanika are blissful
We don’t think we’ve ever seen Big brother so happy
With our band of merry friends
There’s a glow in his eyes,
something sparking so pretty even the bonfire couldn’t create
Me and Nanika are tucked cozy by the flame
Heart soaring high above the starry sky
We breathe in and close our eyes,
Hold it
1..
2…
3….
We open to sounds of raucous laughter
And crackles of burning wood
Smelling of sea salt and ocean and seaweed and smoke
Me and Nanika couldn’t have dreamt of the crinkle in the corner of Big brother’s eyes
Couldn’t dream of the calm in our soul
And even though our small family will separate
There will be times where we will not see or speak
Me and Nanika will never walk alone
We’ll always come back to each other
Come back

Merry Christmas! Luckily I've read some baseball mangas and I also like it ^^ I can't draw all of your favs because of procrastination (Sorry >__<"!) but here is Gon and Killua. Hope you'll be happy with this gift~ ^__^
Hi @xihe/ruinedgold !! I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting but here is your gift!! Your prompt made me happy to draw because I’ve actually never drawn these two before, and an ice-skating date is such a cute idea! I hope you like it! Happy holidays and happy new year, hope that you have a healthy year!!
noticed that some people got more than one gift while i didnt get any. was there an error during sign up?
Some people were backup santas and ended up creating more than one gift, which would lead to them getting more than one as well. Could you message us off anon?
All the gifts have been posted! If you haven’t received yours yet, please email us at [email protected] or message one of the mods. If you are still working on a gift for someone, please also message us so that we are aware.
Sorry about the inconvenience and hopefully everyone will have gifts soon :)
