How long did it take for Santa and Krampus to go from enemies to lovers? And who initiated the polycule?

In my canon, Nick and Kramps first met in the Alps sometime around the turn of the second Millennium. Krampus was terrorizing a village one day, so some Christian converts called upon the Saint to come and protect the children from the demon. Krampus is technically a nature spirit, not a demon, and so Nick was having trouble figuring out how to stop the beast.

Fortunately, a young Befana was dispatched by Perchta to fetch Krampus and found the two duking it out in the town square. Thinking quickly, she created chains and shackles out of Nick's shadow, which he used to bind him successfully.

Perchta decided that it would be an apt punishment for Krampus to remain shackled to the Saint and be his twisted reflection. Krampus dispised his situation at first, expecting to be treated like some wild animal to be tamed or put on display. But Nick always treated him with respect. He always treated him like a fellow man. Perhaps it was Befana's mediation...perhaps it was Nick's "I could fix him" attitude...maybe it was even Krampus' "I could make him worse" attitude...but something eventually clicked between the three of them.

By the 14th-15th century, their love for each other became apparent. I think...I think Nick would have been the one to admit his feelings while Befana would have been the one to propose a polygamous relationship.

Saint Nicholas is also the patron saint of prostitutes. So Santa accepts you being a hoe hoe hoe😏

This Advent, I think it's important to remember that St. Nicholas would probably rather be known as the inspiration for Santa Claus than as the guy who punched Arius in the face.

Because St. Nicholas saved the pickle boys.

((Headcanon that Tim couldn't wait for his St. Nicholas presents and opened them a day too early, and Spain just couldn't be bothered to correct it anymore with this wayward child, and that's why it's celebrated on the 5th in The Netherlands nowadays, whereas everywhere else it's celebrated on the 6th.))
