YEAH... i love when u look up tender in the dictionary and maettael are There. sorry for getting back to you so lateeee but i do have some fics for u so hopefully that makes up for it! i'm bad at recommending stuff cuz i wanna include Everything but i tried to narrow it down a little (though admittedly i veered off track a little LOL) with a bit of luck there's a few in here that are exactly the type of stuff you are looking for!! ♡

• Stargazing by vodkosx, which is the fic in the screenshot!!
• the whole in this world, it’s just us series by taeloving (kibeom). it's sooo very dear to me! genuinely one of my favs lately.
• more than enough by intothewoodz is one i was also thinking of, but i also really think that her works love is an uncountable noun and when the clock strikes midnight also fit really well in this category!
• calling you home by cupidzhanghao, JUST SO TENDER. also: Stable!
• Holding You (just for a while) by yutosphere, sweet and lovelyyy
• cy's citrusverse combines the hot with the sweet (no pun intended) and it's just excellent
• giving you your flowers by gyu_urix (flowerhairclips). save us pradatthew!
• adding not enough sleep, not enough you by hodugwajaz here in case you're looking for something a little more spicy but i loved this one. actually lemme go reread this rn.
• i saw you everywhere by capturingstars (bclark), cute lovely band au!!
• And While I'm in This Body, I Want Somebody to Want by zhangnooki for excellent Gender stuff. trans tr my beloved.
• one thing about me is i will always find a way to recommend if the party was over by poppingstar because man. Man.
• Third Time's a Charm by armyrosebian for Sillies and Smiles, truly
• warmest cord of care by concepts (apersea) as well as love is a bridge. concepts' #1 fan is me.
• The Taerae Situation by divinesarcasm, some jealous tael and miscommunication... i Love!!!
• what do lovers care about the end of the world? by dustonleaves, i loveeee this fic. when taerae first posted the pic with matthew on the dwas-instapost this was the first fic i reached back for. beautiful writing.
• what's the name of the game? by jadelypop, i usually don't fw hp aus but this was soooooo cute
• Game Changer by viminibox, in my head this is what happened in LA this summer. that's MY truth!
• with joyful mien by JELLYPOP (blaspheme) is another all-time fav and i will always find an excuse to recommend it anywhere at all times.

as for headcanons hmmm... i’ve been thinking of mttl mutual body worship a lot these days? and how that would play out, taerae taking care of mttw in his own way too etc. also i’m working on something that i wish i'd get around to finishing soon that kind of focuses on how domestic i think they could-would be. so a lot of my headcanons are going into that (but i don't wanna share tooo much yet)! also i recently saw a video of a lesbian couple planning to propose to each other at the same time and i though that was soooo chaotically maettael lol (and then bow coincidentally also had it in his fic which is Great). so yeah!!
