I participated in this year's @gyftmas2023 event (aka an Undertale themed Secret Santa) and @atenobear was my Imp.
They asked for Soriel, Undyne x Alphys, and/or @megalommi's Nostra (Mafiafell!Baggs), so I went for them all with a thrown-in bonus Grillby.
Happy Holidays to you and everyone!

Pull me close, and hold my hands
Summary: A cute, fluffy slice of winter life where Edge and Stretch go on an ice-skating date together.
Warnings/rating: T, no major warnings, just some ice shenanigans
This is for the wonderful @alennyah for Gyftmas, I hope you enjoy your gift! I loved this prompt, I knew I had to do something with it :D
Thank you to @sin-cognito for beta reading this, you are the best!! And thanks again for putting on Gyftmas, it's been a blast to participate in!
Read it on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52826791
Or below the cut:
Hello
As I stated the first time I graded your project, your database’s code is fucked up broken. Even with the password, I am unable to read or search through files which if you were paying attention, is the only thing the project is asking you to do . I CC’d you on a previous email, but I will send the GitHub link here again. I highly suggest you try debugging the code, and if you are still unable to figure out the issue, please let me know and we can set up a time to meet.
Worst Best regards,
Stretch flinched as someone knocked on the door. He glanced down at the bottom right corner of his screen, then quickly stood up. He had only planned on replying to a couple of quick emails, but he’d gotten sucked into a failed attempt to debug his students’ latest attempt at the final project.
“I’ll be right there!”
He powered off his screen and pushed his swivel chair away from his desk. He got up and grabbed an orange jacket off of the back of the chair, sliding it on and picking up a gift bag as he headed over to the door. He usually wore his regular hoodie while skating, but he didn’t know how long he and Edge would be out. While Edge would offer him his coat like a gentleman, Stretch didn’t want to deprive him, so it was better to layer up.
His skates were still in his inventory, and so was his wallet. He shoved his feet into his boots, then leaned over and opened the door.
Edge stood there, cutting a gorgeous figure in a soft red turtleneck, leather jacket, and some tight jeans. He held his own gift bag in his phalanges, and Stretch couldn’t help smiling as he saw him.
Edge’s face didn’t change, but Stretch could see his shoulders lower ever so slightly. He was always tightly wound when they were outside of the privacy of one of their apartments, but Stretch didn’t mind it too much. After he’d learned to start decoding him, Stretch had found that the most standoffish skeleton of their little group had a kind soul.
Edge handed him the gift bag, gently tugging the other one out of his hands. He put it into his inventory, then looked back at Stretch. “Are you ready?”
“Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I was just finishing up a quick email.” Stretch locked the door, and put his own gift bag away.
He was eager to see what Edge thought of his gift, but there was no rush to open it right away. They had a whole date to do that.
“I thought you were off for the holidays?” Edge asked. His hand twitched, and Stretch happily reached out and took it.
He shook his head, slumping a bit as they began walking to play it up. “Hah, I wish. Students can still submit regrade requests until the 28th, and I have to finish all of them before the next semester starts.”
“That sounds difficult.” Edge squeezed his hand gently, his phalanges curling against Stretch’s metacarpals.
“Yeah, well, I’ve TA’d for worse classes before. I’d rather not talk about work right now.”
“Understandable. We should get going.” Edge turned, pulling Stretch with him as they headed over to the elevator. “Since it’s only fifteen minutes, I assumed we would be walking.”
“Yep, that works for me,” Stretch said. “I bet trying to take a car and parking would only get us a couple of minutes closer, and it’s such a hassle.”
The traffic around his place had been locked up for the past few days by the city’s latest attraction. A pedestrian square that was usually home to cobblestones, a fountain, and some pretty flower patches had been turned into a “holiday village” combining Gyftmas with a few human holidays. It was a bit more lively than what Stretch usually preferred, but he knew that Edge would enjoy it, if only as a chance to prove his athleticism.
“Have you skated before?” Stretch asked. He didn’t usually skate much. He preferred saying awful jokes and teleporting across the ice to get away from any repercussions.
As they stepped out into the streets, Edge looked around, and when he didn’t see any trouble, he began walking and talking. “I used to when I was a child, but it wasn’t like what I’ve seen others doing. It was more about evasive training on a slick surface.”
“Well, that might come in handy if there are any new skaters still figuring out their balance.” Stretch playfully nudged Edge. “Would you catch me if I fell on the ice?”
“Not if it meant I would fall with you,” Edge said dryly, but he smiled when Stretch laughed. It was barely there, but Stretch had gotten used to watching for even the slightest upturn of his mouth.
“That’s fair. I’ll try to keep my legs under me then.”
Neither of them felt the need to speak, so they fell into a comfortable silence. Stretch could see more decorations had migrated into the street, especially in the shops and offices on ground level. He could also see Edge’s handsome face out of the corner of his eye, and he wasn’t ashamed to look clearly and admire his partner.
The skating rink took up a little over half of the square, with a wooden fence surrounding the fountain to keep anyone from running into it by accident. It was a few hours after school had let out, so only a few students were left. There were only about ten people skating, with most of the humans and monsters mingling near the food stands in the holiday village.
Stretch couldn’t help smiling. This was ideal; he and Edge could have some romantic moments, but also people-watch if they wanted to. He led Edge over to the benches next to the rink, squeezing his hand again. 
“This is gonna be fun.” He pulled his skates out and sat down, pulling at the laces of his boots already. They barely went up past his ankles, but he wasn’t wearing them for fashion reasons like Edge usually did. He just didn’t want to soak his usual sneakers.
“I’m sure it will.” Edge sat down and crossed one leg over the other, getting to work.
His movements were elegant and controlled, and Stretch couldn’t help watching for a few seconds before he turned back to his own feet. He had no idea how he’d managed to land someone as elegant as Edge, but he wasn’t going to complain.
Even if Edge hadn’t skated much before, he had no issue lacing them up. He had chosen a pair of black figure skates, the blades polished to military perfection. Once he was done, he helped Stretch lace up his second skate, effortlessly pulling the laces tighter than Stretch had before. Stretch could feel his face flushing, but he didn’t try to look away. Edge deserved to have his care appreciated properly.
He leaned in before Edge could pull away, kissing his forehead quickly. “Thank you.”
Edge’s cheekbones had definitely gotten redder, and he rubbed them as he stood. “Well, it’s easier to do up someone else’s.”
“It’s still nice of you to do.” Stretch stood up. His balance was off, and he threw his arms out as he wobbled. “Oh, damn, looks like I lost my sea legs.”
“That part of the ground is uneven. Come here.” Edge took Stretch’s arm, guiding him over to the well-trodden snow path leading up to the closest door.
A human with a bright yellow vest stood next to the ice rink, and they opened up the door as Edge and Stretch approached. “Hi there! Have you already got your tickets online, or will you be buying some here? It’s eight for a full hour.”
“We’ve got ours.” Stretch let go of Edge and pulled out his phone, showing the tickets to the human.
“Perfect! Here.” They stepped back, gesturing to the door. “Enjoy your time today, and if you want a coupon for some free hot chocolates after your skating, come visit the rental stand! We still have a few left, but they’re going fast.”
Stretch pulled off his skate guards, then stepped over the edge of the doorway. He put them into his pocket, sliding a metre away from the door.
Edge stepped over slower than he had. He kept his eyes on the ice the entire time, and Stretch noticed his blades were wobbling a bit. As Edge closed the door behind him, firmly, Stretch skated up to him.
“Do you want to try together or hold the wall?” He asked, offering his hand.
Edge looked at him skeptically, but Stretch didn’t waver. He wouldn’t judge if Edge did need to hug the wall the entire time; he just wanted to make sure he was comfortable. Maybe he should have found a smaller rink, or somewhere with fewer people, so Edge didn’t feel self-conscious.
“I’m fine.” Edge moved forward and grabbed Stretch’s forearm. “Let’s go.”
Stretch turned so Edge would be close to the wall on his other side, then pushed off with one foot. Edge was pulled into a slow glide with him. He wobbled, but then took a deep breath and bent his knees slightly. He glided forward slightly, but Stretch could feel that he was more in control of it.
“Feeling better? Here, let’s move.”
Stretch shifted one skate, pressing against the ice at a diagonal angle. He pushed three times in a row then stood normally on the ice, riding out the glide with Edge. He could feel a few deeper lines on the ice, but it must have been Zamboni’d recently, because it was pretty smooth.
By the time they were halfway around the rink, Edge had gained some confidence. He used both feet instead of just moving once and then gliding. Stretch was easily pulled along. Edge was staring straight ahead, probably making sure no one zipped in front of them at the last minute. Stretch just smiled, putting his other arm on Edge’s elbow and hanging on.
Edge was strong and precise, and each of his movements were designed to push them along at the perfect pace. Stretch reached out and tapped his fingers on the boards next to the fountain as they skated past it, then scrambled to match Edge’s speed again. He laughed as Edge slowed down, rolling his eyelights as he let Stretch easily catch up with him. The air was getting a bit cooler, but it couldn’t cut through Stretch’s jacket too much, so he was fine.
As they reached the door where they had started, Edge suddenly pushed his feet out. He pulled Stretch to an abrupt stop, ice spraying out from his skates. Stretch yelped, flinching at the cold as some of the ice got into the top of one of his skates.
“What was that for?” He shook his foot, but that only made the ice slide deeper in, soaking his sock.
“You can skate on your own.” Edge smirked at him, then turned around and zipped off.
Stretch knew a game of tag when he saw one. He stamped twice on the ice to make sure the ice shavings in his skate were settled, then took off. He curved to the side, sticking to the direction that most people were using to skate around the rink to avoid any collisions.
Edge must have been faking earlier; he was practically a speed skater now. He leaned forwards, the tails of his scarf flapping behind him as he whirled around the rink. He deftly slipped around another couple, and Stretch smirked as one of them flinched, then turned to look at Edge with wide eyes. He really was a force of nature, and he was killing it tonight.
Stretch could just use a shortcut, but that would end the fun too early. It was rare for Edge to get so playful in public, and he wanted to enjoy it while he could.
Instead, he summoned a small bone attack diagonally jutting out from the wall. It was right at the level of the tips of Edge’s skates. Stretch held his breath, slowing down and crossing his fingers.
He shouldn’t have worried. Edge glanced down just in time, and easily hopped over it. He wobbled again for a moment when he hit the ice again, but he quickly straightened out his blades and began skating normally again. Stretch had to get rid of the bone before continuing, so he wasn’t able to catch up to Edge. He still skated along, moving as close to the middle of the rink as he dared.
After a few more laps, Stretch was finally getting closer. He doubted Edge’s stamina was actually waning, but he appreciated that Edge was giving him a chance to catch up. The sun had almost completely set, throwing some dramatic shadows across the rink and Edge’s figure in front of him. Faint smells of cinnamon and ginger wafted over from the food stalls, and someone in that area was playing holiday music as well.
Stretch threw his arms out for extra balance, speeding up as much as he could. This was it; he would be able to catch Edge. He reached for Edge’s coat, aiming to tap him in the middle of the back.
Edge turned around, grabbing Stretch’s arms and then twisting to the side. The two of them spun wildly, and Stretch yelped as they careened towards the side wall. Edge pushed both of his skates out, bringing them to a stop with his own back only a couple of inches away from the boards.
“Got you,” he said, his eyelights glittering with triumph.
It took Stretch a few seconds to muster a response. He glanced down at where Edge was holding his arms, then back up at his datemate’s face.
“Yeah, you sure did.”
At that moment, the bulbs around the edge of the rink came on. Edge was suddenly bathed in golden, white, and red tones, throwing the small smile on his face into detail. He was slightly out of breath, panting as he squeezed Stretch’s arms gently.
“Are you alright?” He asked, reaching down to take Stretch’s hands instead of holding on to his arms.
Stretch blinked, then squeezed Edge’s hands back. “Yeah. I’m good.”
Edge let go of one of Stretch’s hands, still smiling at him as he turned to stand next to him. “Do you want to do another few laps, then go get some hot chocolate?”
Nothing sounded better. “Yeah, I do.”
“Good. Let’s go a bit slower this time.”
Edge pushed off, and a second later Stretch followed him. He could feel the smooth leather of Edge’s glove through the material of his own, their arms brushing against each other as they glided around the rink. The air was filled with light and sound, warmth and colour, but what truly captivated Stretch was Edge’s profile. The light framed everything; the strong angles of his face, the scar on his jaw, and the lingering grin on his teeth. It might be corny, but Stretch couldn’t think of a better gift than this.

Merry Gyftmas @alusniper/@wardtale!! I hope you like your gift, I sure had a lot of fun making it! Because I love talking about projects, I'll be telling more details under the cut! <3
So the cloak is based on @alusniper's WardTale Frisk design. I'm a huge fan of casual cosplay and wanted to make something that would represent her AU.
Tumblr media
The original design has the cloak going down to her ankles to actually help shield her from the cold. I could have made the cloak be that long as well, however, Alusniper lives in Brazil! I checked, and the region of Brazil she lives in, even during the coldest months, barely get down to the 40s/50s F during the night.
The original pattern for the cloak states to make a lining for it, to help it look neater and to cover the seam allowances. I think any kind of lining, even with cotton/lightweight fabric would have made this much too hot for her to wear.
The fabric is woven flannel, which I think would be plenty warm for Brazilian winter.
Hands down, my FAVORITE part of this project is the hood. My husband was super sweet enough to me to purchase a used Husqvarna Viking Designers Epic 1 from the sewing machine dealership I used to work at. The machine normally retails for around 13-14k, but we got it for a sweet, sweet 2.5k!!
Tumblr media
The machine can do embroidery, so I found an antler embroidery pattern and embroidered the antlers on the hood. I think it gives it a very unique effect!
The Designer Epic 1 has a unique feature that only Viking (and I think maybe Pfaff) has. Omnidirectional sewing! Typically, the feed dogs on a sewing machine can only go back and forth, but omnidirectional sewing can have the feed dogs can move side to side and diagonal.
Decorative stitches can usually only be as wide as the needle moves back and forth, usually either 7mm or 9mm. With omnidirectional, the needle moves side to side and the feed dogs move side to side. The snowflake decal on the bottom hem is 25mm wide. It was a lot of fun to use such a unique stitching style for the first time!
The bow is made from velvet, which was a new material for me to sew with. It was a lot of fun! The bow is fastened in the back with a snap. I felt it was important to have the bow removable. I like that this could be a cosplay item, or worn casually. I felt the bow might be a bit too flashy for daily wear.
I had such a fun time making this item, I definitely want one of my own now! The flannel is such a soft, sweet fabric and the decals are soooo cute.
The pattern for the cloak is from MadeWithMaridah on etsy.
Antler embroidery pattern is by JLdizains on etsy.
Bow pattern is by cutandsewn on etsy.
Flannel fabric in color kelly yard.
Velvet fabric in color hunter green.
