Dear Yuletide Letter 2023

Hello dear writer!

I am sure I will love whatever you come up with, because it was written in one of the below fandoms/pairings. I will do my best to comment early on the day of reveals with details of what I loved about the story you've written me (if I'm delayed until later in the day, I apologize). Thank you for offering to write one of the below, you're a peach! I hope I've inspired you with my prompts, but you obviously don't have to follow them if you have another idea.

General Likes: hand holding, hugs, gestures of support, kisses, flirty banter, fluff and smut, competent characters, messy misunderstandings that are resolved eventually, friends to lovers, men looking at the woman they love like they hung the moon, established relationships but also the (requited) pining that sometimes predates a relationship, sleepy snuggles, domesticity, and love epiphanies/grand gestures. I adore tropes like "only one bed" or "pretending to be a couple" that make two people have to re-evaluate things in their head when clean lines become blurred or something is said that puts their relationship into a whole new light. I'm so-so on emotional hurt-comfort as I don't generally want any of the characters I love to be seriously anguished or tortured for a long period of time but light angst and physical wound-tending or comforting a temporarily sick character is the sweet spot.

DNWs: suicide, suicide ideation (a joke like "well, I'll just kill myself then" is fine, but serious planning is not preferred), self harm (self-sabotage like avoiding people is fine, but harm like cutting or other scarring acts is not preferred), fatphobia, homophobia, transphobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, rape/noncon, killing or torturing a female character to get a reaction from a male character, infidelity, terminal illness or permanent death of the requested characters (having Character A assume or hear (mistakenly) that Character B is dead is okay if it's revealed that Character B is not actually dead and there is a reunion)
