Thank you @polutrope and @niennawept for the tags!
Its Monday where I live, but I'm happy to partake!
"Nahar is as surly as you sometimes," he observed with an amused glint in his eye. "It makes me think the two of you are more suited for each other than you and me."
Anger flared in the hunter’s face. "Jest all you want. By the time this hunt is over, I will be the one cackling in mirth."
"I admire your confidence." Tulkas glanced at him playfully. He readied himself for another sprint, this time after espying another path leading to their oft-used hunting grounds. "But you will have to outrace me first!"

*gasps as I crawl up to this blog, covered in blood and sweat and gore* After 300 pages of story scenes, 700 pages of short stories, multiple documents of additional short story dumps, 7 folders, and some other things, I have successfully found at *least* FIVE romance scenes that aren't written with hatred and pain, aren't written out of spite, aren't made to be ridiculous and/or funny, aren't heavily made to be an allegory, aren't noncanon cause meh, AND aren't made to be a tragedy. At least 5 (it's sadly less than five but I'm done looking at what I didn't) small written things in over 6 years of Serious Writing that feature a romance that is soft, taken seriously, canon, AND not made to be purposefully ridiculous cause I Could Not.
All that to prove to a friend I could do romance softly and seriously after they shared something really very sweet and well written. ALL THAT JUST TO SHOW THAT I KIND OF ALREADY SHARED SOMETHING LIKE THAT A FEW WEEKS BACK
