#Steggy Secret Santa 2022 message

[imxthexhandler]

Ho ho ho, it's your Steggy Secret Santa! The elves and I have received your letter and are excited to get to work on your gift! We here at the North Pole are 100% behind giving Steve and Peggy some well-deserved joy and happiness, and we were wondering if you also had any more specific requests. Do you have any favorite tropes, eras, characters (aside from Peggy and Steve), scenarios, etc?

Hello, Secret Santa!

First off, I hope you are well!

Second, I am fine if it is an alternate reality, wartime, modern-day, What If? verse, post-Endgame compliant, whichever strikes your fancy! Set it at any time!

Third, other characters I adore are the other Avengers and the Howling Commandos, Howard Stark, Edwin and Anna Jarvis, and Angie.

Fourth, scenarios between Steve and Peggy I adore- the DANCE! Yes, I am hopeless romantic sucker. I was the person in the theater for Endgame, dressed as Peggy, who was literally crying when that scene happened.

Fifth, I am a sucker also for good banter, Steve not always being suave and smooth but sometimes just an adorable dork around Peggy and loving it when she’s a badass, Peggy not having to hide her opinions, soft side, or vulnerabilities around Steve. I’m also a fan of hijinks from the likes of Cary Grant romantic comedies.

Sixth, it can be Christmas-themed or not. I’m really not that picky, honestly. Heck, it can be Steve and Peggy having to help out Santa Claus with a super sleigh prototype that a time traveling Tony Stark helped his father Howard build with Dum-Dum and the other Commandos trying to make toys at the North Pole and getting drunk off egg nog. I am just curious what you come up with!

And if you have a writer’s blog or a creator blog, please let me know so I can link back to your blog after it’s written!
