Can I request a letter from Ryoma to a F!Reader that...you know that awkward "unofficially official" stage? You know, that stage where everybody knows they're an item, but neither of them have actually said anything to confirm or deny it (to other or each other), yet?
Anyways, context! I'm thinking of Conquest chapter 17, but instead of Kagero being the one that's been captured, it's the reader. She plays the harp, and is competent, patient, balanced, and open to various values (whatever those help with).
"Whoops, forgot! Ryoma wrote it to her before she was rescued. When she was returned to Hoshido, one of Ryoma's retainers found the letter on his desk with her name on it and just kinda...sent it."
Ngl it'd be funny to write it as unsent letter JUST so I could write Saizo's reaction to what he did. I think it'd be funnier with Saizo...
Also I hope I didn't mess up the timeline here? I understand it as him writing her during the reader being captured and intending to send it after saving her... If I'm wrong just lmk and I'll fix it.
After I found out that you were kidnapped I must admit that I've never been so worried. It wasn't any responsibility of mine and yet I feel just as guilty for not being there to protect you and stop it all from happening. I believe other than my sense of duty, my feelings played part in the way I feel about the situation. For I hold you very dear to me, and I think it's about time I say it. I love you, you're a wonderful woman and I'd be honored to be yours. To be able to be by your side and protect you when necessary. To hear you practice on the harp before anyone else gets to hear your performance. And to witnesses your grace on everyday basis, I believe there is nothing that could make me happier. Of course I'll fight for your happiness as well, because I'd do anything for you.
I shall await for your response,
