[Addams Family/Disney] Santa delivers a thank you note he received from the only family who adored Jack Skellington's christmas: the Addams family.
"Uh, sir? We received a thank you note."
Nicholas Claus was used to receiving thank you notes. Good children tended to be polite or were asked by their parents to be polite. That didn't mention the amount of mail he got from world governments, thanking him from his service. What raised his eyebrows was the fact that he got a thank-you note this year.
Honestly, after Jack's rampage, he was prepared for nothing.
"Oh, really?" he said. The elf nodded. "Well, that's wonderful!" Nicholas straightened up, feeling a smile form. "Let me see."
"Uh...well...you see..." Huh, the elf wasn't looking at him. They looked down at their feet, pulling out the letter. To realize the issue, Nicholas only had to look at it and see the yellowed envelope and the black A.
Oh.
"It's from them."
-_-
"...I got a thank you letter?"
"From a particular family," Nicholas had never expected to be in Halloweentown again. Based on Jack Skellington's gape when he opened the door, neither had he. Nicholas didn't like it, but he didn't want to be rude. He held out the letter. "They're good people, very loving and generous, but they're strange."
Jack stared at the letter like it was going to bite him. It wasn't until he shook it that the skeleton took it, slowly. "I got a letter?" he repeated again.
"I do want to warn you, the daughter of the family has a tendency to-" Jack was already peeling the envelope open. Nicholas took a step back when the scorpion jumped out, skittering on the paper and making those horrible squeaky noises. "She has a tendency to boobytrap the mail she sends," he repeated quickly. "Make sure there's nothing on the paper."
Instead of the usual screams and cries, however, Jack smiled.
"How charming!" he cooed, reaching out. The scorpion seemed to consider the white bone for a moment before stepping onto his hand, settling down and looking content. "Sally has been wanting another pet," Jack said, allowing the scorpion to crawl up onto his shoulder before he pulled out the paper.
Right. This place was insane.

I drew the lovely @sketalya version of Edmily (EmilyxEdward) because I love the couple, sketalya's art style and their version for the characters.

Really adore your artstyle. You have such amazing designs!
I only have one big question and that is in regards to Thomas' Backstory before he became Edward's adopted son. Basically, what happened to Thomas that made him climb aboard Edward's engine? You mentioned you live for sad stories too so I can presume it's something angsty was involved?
Ah good question good question…
It dawned on me that before I got back into this show, I never knew the era it took place in. Now I’ve realized it’s between 1936 and 1952… to keep it brief, I’d place my au around the end of WWII.
I haven’t exactly given thought to WHO Thomas’s parents are, only that they were separated from Thomas, and later (most unfortunately) became casualties of the war.
I imagine Thomas might have been quite curious at seeing such a bright blue engine at a train station one morning while wandering aimlessly, so, being him, he probably climbed aboard and never thought twice. (Given that he’s around 4 I can’t say I blame him, I might’ve done the same???)
And while I know y’all have seen the comic, you haven’t seen all of it (yet?) but Edward does eventually realize he’s stowed away on the train and decides to ask Sir Topham Hatt what to do once they’ve reached Sodor.
I’ll post these doodles eventually but what ensues after is essentially this:
-Topham and Edward decide an orphanage is probably their best bet, so Topham starts looking into arrangements.
-in the meantime, Edward had the whole caretaker role thrust unto him by default. The first few nights are chaotic, as no one, but especially not Edward, had much experience in caring for a kid before. (Let alone one as cheeky as this one). There was a lot of learning to be had.
-it takes much longer than anyone had thought to find a place for Thomas to go, and eventually a few months pass by. You see where I’m going with this I’m sure, but needless to say, Thommy has already grown quite attached. To everyone, sure, but especially Edward, who takes him on trips and teaches him all about how to drive the train.
And as you all know, he does eventually stay. There was one futile attempt made to separate them and send Thomas off, but after one rather vocal and tear jerking stop at THAT station you better believe Thomas went back HOME to Sodor without further question.
If this wasn’t horrifically boring for y’all I’d be happy to go more into this and how he grew up around the others? Idk I’ve never had such a long post before 😭😂 anyway enjoy
