[Newt recognizes the dark cloud immediately when he had seen it. of course he has. He had only seen it close up a multitude of times back in New York.

He doesn't contact Credence right away, but waits a little bit. After all, the other probably was unlikely to be able to respond back while being a large, chaotic force. So he waits a moment.

When he thinks that the other might be able to respond, he finally does contact the other.] Hello, Credence?

[boyobscured]

[ Gwen taught him how to use the phone, and he understands it, but he debates not answering it. He feels shaky about the incident in town. He knows he should probably check to see if anyone was hurt, but...he hasn't. He's just been sitting at home on the bed. It's been awhile since he's done that, after all. He hasn't lost control of that for months. But...he hadn't done it to hurt anyone, even the glowing guy who had attacked him. He's not hurt, of course, just shaken.

He answers it anyway. ]

Yes, hello?

[ He didn't recognise the number, but he recognises the voice immediately. Of course Newt would have known what had happened, if he'd seen it. He must have seen it. ]

Oh, Mr. Scamander. H-hello.

[ He's still not good at that whole first name thing. ]

[laminae]

[This is not a message he wants to send, but Credence is his friend. He made a promise to him, he broke it, and he owes it to him to own up to it. If he doesn't, what's the point of being friends?]

hey uh

so

remember that night when we talked about dying here?

[boyobscured]

Yes, I remember. Why?

Letter; I AM LATE ON THIS I AM SORRY...

[newtralize]

[A package is left on Credence's doorstep. It's wrapped in parchment and tied up with string. There's a note tied and attached with Newt's signature.]

This should have gotten to you sooner. I guess you can say that I've been a tad disorganized as of late, but I found it most recently. I hope with how tense October has been that this will be somewhat soothing to receive at such a time.

-N.S.

[The neatly wrapped packaged seemed to have been well taken care of. Newt most likely had taken care of it, but has no idea what the contents of the package are or what's in the letter.]

Did you take your shot the dogs brought?

text; assuming this is far enough before the event!

[boyobscured]

I don't really know how or what it's for.

Xmas gifts!

[variantcover]

[ Gwen gives Credence this t-shirt, and, wrapped inside it, this book on gender identity. ]

[boyobscured]

[ He's never really worn t-shirts! WHAT IS MODERN FASHION? But he will wear this because it's cute and she gave it to him and also !!!! that book means he can hopefully understand more about this identity thing! Gwen is the best bff. ]

december 24th

[creidim]

[ The package is unassuming: small and soft to handle, wrapped in plain brown paper but tied with a delicate silvery ribbon. Inside is a hand-made striped scarf. While others have received ones in Hogwarts colours, Luna has decided to knit Credence a scarf in Ilvermorny colours, cranberry and blue.

When worn, the scarf will radiate a low-level warming magic to keep the chilly weather away from its wearer.

Inside is a handwritten note —]

To Credence,

Ilvermorny is the name of the school attended by wizards and witches in North America. Their school colours are cranberry and blue. I thought you might like this.

Merry Christmas,

— Luna.

[boyobscured]

[ Credence has only heard the name Ilvermorny once or twice, but he's touched by the thoughtfulness of Luna's gift. He doesn't know what to get her because he doesn't know her well yet, but he sends a thank you note to her with a bit that says if there's anything he can do or get for her, he will. ]

[Christmas Gift]

[followorperish]

[A reminder, not so gentle, but it is at least pretty: placed within a black box there is an onyx ring engraved on either side with the Deathly Hallows. On the inside of the ring's band the name Aurelius has been engraved as well.]

[boyobscured]

[ He's not certain how to feel, but of course he keeps it and wears it (not always around everyone, but certainly around Grindelwald; he knows Grindelwald will notice). ]

Christmas eve

[laminae]

[In an attempt to enthusiastically celebrate his first ever Christmas, Fern is covertly dropping off a wrapped gift addressed to Credence from him on his doorstep.

It's a butterfly knife!

Because of course Fern would assume a knife makes a good holiday gift.]

[boyobscured]

[ Credence has no idea what to do with this, but he keeps it, appreciating Fern's effort! ]

Delivery on the 25th

[newtralize]

[A package wrapped in brown paper and string is left for Credence. There's a letter attached. There are two books along with what was a moderately sized patchwork phoenix plush. The fabrics are very old fashioned, but carefully stitched. It resembles these, but are far more detailed and larger. There's also a tin of homemade biscuits.]

I imagine you didn't have access to any books pertaining to magic, so I hope these will be good additions to your library. The former isn't something I'm readily familiar with, but the latter was a book that's common in most households. I hope that you'll learn much from them.

If you ever need more reading material, you needn't hesitate to ask.

-Newt Scamander

[boyobscured]

[ Credence sends a note to Newt.

I really appreciate the books you gave me. I want to learn as much as I can. ]

delivered before christmas.

[mercykills]

[A small box arrives for Credence. Inside is a small, hand-carved wooden bird about the size of a tennis ball. Credence might recognise it as very similar to the one Wolfwood got back from the carnival game during one of their earlier meetings.

There's also a note: Merry Christmas. - Wolfwood]

[variantcover]

[ An image gets sent to Credence's Fluid: Gwen, wearing black, with hair dyed to match (apart from the tips which are still pink). ]

what do you think?

text; un:credence

[boyobscured]

That looks really good on you. I haven't seen you wear black before.

[ It takes him a few minutes to figure it out, but eventually he does send her a picture in return. ]

I got a haircut too. Do you think it looks okay?

Peter? What does this mean?

[variantcover]

it's not like i WANT to be evil! it's just that sometimes, i don't really care that that's a likelihood for me.

[boyobscured]

I don't think you're evil Gwen. Why would it be a likelihood?

(misfire) text; un: Albus Dumbledore

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Ah, but when will you be back? I have missed your face terribly...and all the rest of you.

[boyobscured]

[ w h a t ]

I haven't gone anywhere though. ???

voice; un: Albus Dumbledore

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Hello, Credence.

I wanted to reach out because -- well, because I am afraid I have some bad news that I thought you should know.

voice; un:credence

[boyobscured]

Albus. What happened? I think I...missed a lot of things.

delivery

[possessum]

[ Sometime in early September, left outside of Credence's door: ]

— a.... thing, made of clay, sticks, and googly eyes

text; un:credence

[boyobscured]

[ Some time later, Credence sends a text to Peter's phone. ]

Peter, do you know if Paimon left me something at my house?

[ It seems easier to ask Peter than roll the dice and hope he catches Paimon checking the phone. ]

a delivery

[variantcover]

[ Inside Credence's mailbox, there is a nondescript white envelope with their name on it. Inside, there is a colorful pog, with a message written on the back in silver fine-tipped sharpie. There's no stamp on the envelope, implying that it was hand delivered rather than mailed. ]



it's been real.
it's been weird.
it's been real weird.

see you on the flip side!

[ The pog is enchanted with dream magic, so that it can be given as a gift, but cannot be lost, stolen, or destroyed. ]
