Hi!! I'm a bit of a hermit so if this is overly forward or unusual please feel free to bahleete with prejudice!
I wrote for you in Yuletide 2021 and, as per your letter, you left a comment in which you included a desire to be friends! I do not have many online friends, barely use my DW and have not written all that much lately (YT was my first fannish activity in 18 months!!) due to illness and the face that when I knit I don't really get the creative bug in writing, except of course, for when I read your letter. I am Australian and watched the first season of Harrow as it aired and got the whole mystery in week by week instalments and rewatched it just to write for you, although I was still mourning Forever at the time and may be trying to make the mother of all crossovers with Harrow as an undercover witness protection version of Henry...
I also just finished White Collar and adore Mozzie and Peter and Neal although I almost have Peter/Neal/Elizabeth as my OT3 and think of Mozzie as an ace with a smush on Neal and they're platonic life partners who probably tried it once and realised they fit better as partners in crime and don't really need more from each other than trust. My fandom home for many years was LotR but as the resident kinky weird person never really had anyone who shared the most snarkiest of thoughts.
I currently watch the FBIs, Chicago Fire and Med (I just glommed onto Severide early on and tolerate everyone else since Sophia Bush left, I gave up on PD and also Blue Bloods because the plots were so plaint by the numbers transparent and I was bored), SEAL Team, SWAT and whatever looks good on STAR and Acorn TV, although I have a not so secret love for Hudson and Rex even though I am not a dog person IRL (cat person? allergies aside, yes my heart). My most recent binge was My Life Is Murder with Lucy Lawless. I love gaming and I'm currently in Genshin Impact hell, used to play Kingdom Hearts 1+2 at least once a year until 3 was so boring I still haven't completed it. I have an unreasonable affinity for visual novels where if they're not All The Gay I can at least pretend they are and am currently in love with Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk, I will always have a soft spot for Final Fantasy and if Gladio wasn't such a total ass to Noctis I'd like in FFXV forever (except I can't bring myself to play it again with all the post-release changes, a bit like how I can't watch the theatrical releases of LotR...). I also have more than passing interests in Harry Potter (firmly believe in 'the author is dead' and 'Word of God is not canon'), Twilight (although I still haven't finished Midnight Sun), Tsukiuta, Trails/Kiseki and other Falcom games, and basically if it's a procedural with a heart of snark, has pretty anime people I can pretend are in hot kinky love, or someone I can impress upon and have as my favourite regardless of medium (so I am still very loyal to Rocky from Power Rangers and still consider myself a RENThead even though it's basically a monument to white masculine superiority), I'll be able to write for it even if I tend to avoid communal fandom.
So I have babbled a bit, and if you think there's enough overlap that we could pull off penpals, feel free to friend/message me and babble back!
Yuletide bestie?
