CHRISTMAS SPECIAL(but it's a year late)🎅🎄🧸📝

1st Oneshot : Present day Todd with his family for Christmas : "Fuck you, Darling."

(No-one's POV)

Todd opened the door. His daughter, Sasha ran up to him. "Dad! Dad! I made a drawing for you!" She yelled happily. Todd smiled and took the drawing she was shoving in his face. It showed a scribble of their family happily together. "Wow sweetie, this is brilliant! Have you shown mum yet?" She shook her head and ran inside. He followed after her at a much slower pace. Nellie, his wife, Brigitte, was sat on their couch surrounded with Christmas decorations and mugs of strong, black coffee. "You're a bit late." She said. "Well I can't realistically not be, the prince is quite demanding and we are good friends." He replied cheekily. She bit her lip a worried expression on her face. "Hmm.. Well I laid out some food in the kitchen, we've already eaten." Todd now was the one with a worried expression. "Uhm. I've already eaten at the palace...." She laughed softly, "Well I guess Sasha's having extra dinner after all. No wonder you're late." Sasha jumped up at the sound of 'extra dinner' "Yay!" She squealed before running to the kitchen hurriedly. Todd chuckled, held up his hand and said, "By the way I won the bet." Brigitte scoffed and tossed the 50 into his palm. "Thanks darling, love you!" Todd joked, rubbing the loss into her face. "Fuck you."

2nd Oneshot : Kat & (???) : Poison Ivy

"Katilnia." Kat heard from a distance. She shuddered, she knew who this fellow Dieu was instantly. Her throat dried up and she froze. "Katilnia, answer me." Kat turned, to face Verdure the Dieu of Flora. "Verdu-" 

"Kitty, do skip the pleasantries. I need you." Verdure hissed, words laced with venom. Kat raised an eyebrow with her usual cockiness, forgetting the threat this particular character held, "And need me as in hand and knees or something a little less fun?" Kat only realised what an error she had made a second before Verdure smiled. Not as a 'yes I do in fact mean hands and knees' or a 'aha, I am too innocent to understand what you meant' but a wicked and menacing smirk. As if planning a murder for someone you dearly detest. 

"Katilnia, dear, unless you want to experience pain like none other you should shut your petty, relentless mouth." Kat nodded and sunk her head in shame. "Anyway what I was implying was that I need some fire." Kat interrupted, "Why didn't you just ask Flamber? Y'know the Dieu of Fire?" Verdure, smiled again in that threatening way as if clamping Kat's lips together. "My loving nuisance, pray tell me, would his puny fire hurt a Dieu??" She shook my head, there was a reason why Flamber wasn't that much of a powerful Dieu, his fire was only harming to Humans and Animals. "Now, my sweet, can your fire harm a Dieu?" Kat registered the idea of it. She decided that yes, yes I could potentially injure a god. She nodded stupidly. "What progress! I had no idea that a brain could develop drastically in a matter of seconds!" 

For the most of the following conversation Kat blacked out, nodding loosely or shaking at random intervals. That is until the end of the conversation.

"Now, my insufferable pet, I noticed that you weren't listening. Anything to say on that matter, pet?" Kat's head perked up. "Ah! Uhm we were talking about... Fire?" She smiled in that horrible way that made her feel uneasy. "Another item on the bill, you don't listen." Kat bit her lip, doing anything she could to stop herself saying something she shouldn't. "Brat." Verdure taunted. "Why do you want to harm a Dieu? Surely you aren't thinking of something so treasonous? You could get in trouble, imagine how powerless you would be if you were exposed." Kat replied, eager to have the upper hand on someone so powerful. "Kitty, you can't possibly be forgetting the scandals I have on you. But then again, it's not like you could sink any lower." Kat swallowed her words, hating the upper hand this literal stinging nettle always had. They were both almost equally bratty and dominant, Verdure tipping the scales by the sheer amount of shit they had of the poor Dieu.

"Why should I get you the fire?" Kat grumbled. "You are getting me that fire, Katilnia, because I will get awfully spilly with my secrets. And you wouldn't want anyone finding out about that, would you, pet?" Kat physically cringed at the nicknames. "Would you, brat?" Verdure repeated. Kat frowned but nodded, sulkily. "Aww, is the pretty little kitty angry at my request? I don't think I need to remind you of the consquences, Katilnia." Verdure taunted before strutting away, in that obnoxious, flirty manner. Walking around like she owned the place. What an ass.
