For one of their early Christmases together as a family, Claudia has a special gift for Papa Jaune. Some of the smallest gifts turn out to be the very best ;D

…For our third annual Vampire Chronicles Secret Santa exchange!

If you participated last year, or participated in any of the other exchanges we hosted after, you should be familiar with how this works.  Think Secret Santa, but with no sharing of physical addresses.  The gifts given are all shared completely on Tumblr, be it drabbles, fanart, awesome graphics, or what have you.  We’ve had great turn outs the past couple of years, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing what great stuff you guys submit this year!

If you would like to join, you can sign up until December 2nd at 11:59PM CST.  On December 3rd, we will be assigning all of you your Santas.  So, feel free to swing by the rules page, and once you’ve read that through, go ahead and join!

Do the thing, ppl! @merciful-death and I are once again mods of this event. 

We need fanworks now more than ever! 

We’ve gotten a lot of entries, this is shaping up to be another great exchange ❤ Remember to sign up!

Last chance, less than an hour remaining 😀

//No but imagine Gabrielle paradoxically being a huge science buff but at the same time preferring to stay away from civilization and most other vampires in nature at the same time. Like she’d know how meteor showers, supermoons, and auroras work, as well as biology of animals and plants in great detail but she’d sleep under the dirt and soil at the end of the night.

I don’t think that’s a paradox at all! Gabrielle could have a lab somewhere in a rural little town, w/ internet access and equipment to study whatever natural phenomena she likes, and I bet she would have preferences for sleeping in different kinds of soil, the different textures and scents. Maybe with the vampire Eleni at her side…

She loves the act of climbing out of the earth every night, like a plant pushing it’s way up, killing her breakfast, and then rinsing off in a stream or waterfall…
