The person singin' the Twelve Days of Christmas must be a bird enthusiast; their true love gave 'em 224 frisking birds-

Because apparently the golden rings are also a type of bird and we have been lied to-

True love must be the owner of some bird emporium or somethin'-

Note: the time correspondance in these shorts is likely not on-par with the main story, and I'm not sure if I ever specified specific times, so..please enjoy this.

The events are ( at least mostly) canon to the Christmases, however, and each short takes place a year after the previous one.

Also have a picture I drew of each prompt I'll be uploading :3 can you guess them all (pretty easy ngl)?

It was a lil' rushed since I decided halfway through that I wanted to post it here..but that's okay!

Me, casually uploading the night before because I can't wait:

I had adopted my son a few months ago, and Killer was happy. The lovely month of December had descended upon us, and Christmas was right around the corner; Killer was excited. The orphanage he had previously lived in hadn't celebrated any holidays, only giving each child a piece of candy and leaving it at that; I intended to do things the right way for Killer, and that involved spending time with my son. Overworking wasn't something I did often, but I knew how to tip the balance ever so slightly as to give myself a bit more personal time; I had done so yesterday, and I now had a few days to spend exclusively with my son. December was a busy season for my job due to all the happiness and general joy, but I would make do with what I had. I had decided a while ago that I didn't want Killer to celebrate the holiday just for the toys and gifts, which was why I was going to show him the more relaxing aspects of the season.

"I'm cold." Killer shivered, holding onto one of my legs closely as we walked.

Perhaps a walk in the park wasn't the best idea for the end of autumn, but it had still been pleasant in the beginning. I had bundled Killer up fairly well, in my opinion, but I supposed that the cold was just too much; I had a lessened sense of temperature, with my goopy exterior.

"You'll get used to it after the first few weeks." I assured. "Would you like to ride on my shoulders?"

"Y-yes, please." Killer nodded.

"All right, up you go."

I lifted my son with a couple tentacles, and he landed safely on my shoulders, enjoying the warmth offered by hugging my goopy skull. Our walk continued for a short while longer, until Killer expressed his desire to go home; with the temperature's dropping, I decided that it would be best. I took my son back home, and I set him on the living room couch to better take his jacket off. After I had put it away, he shivered once again.
