    That's a good point. However, when you capitalize things, you're giving the word a new connotation. You're not calling Jo "a small tight-fitting cap" in your story, even though the nickname comes from his affliction with beanies. When you look up angel, pumpkin, babe, or baby, there are already connotations of nicknames that are commonplace, so that's why they are not capitalized. So when you capitalize beanie, it becomes Jo's name, in a way. Does that make sense?

    Also, it's not going to affect how I read the story, so don't worry too much about it.

    @ Don'tFearTheReaper
    you sure it's supposed to be capitalized?? i always thought nicknames like that (angel, pumpkin, babe, baby, etc) weren't capitalized bc they weren't like the actual name of something??

    Okay, so at the beginning I was like, aw, so they're going to get married, there's a ring in the box and nothing will stop them.
    BUT THEN. Jordan, no. You have to love Zack. Who doesn't love Zack? He's hunky and Wow and makes you want to Happy face Hold on, I need to wipe the drool on my chin.
    I'm back.
    The whole "Do not open ‘til you’ve got forever to spend with me" and Beanie's hesitance Fuck, I love that nickname so bad, gonna use it forever. I was just like OMG NO! he's not going to say yes and I will be forced to yell at you for not making me happy. I almost, almost, shed a tear at them not being together forever and ever.
    Waiting fucking killed me mrgun, even though this was short. I hate waiting for what I want. I wanted them to be all happy and shit from the get-go. But, Feels Overload, yes I know.
    I really like the way you played this out, because it's so true that even if you love someone, you're still wigged out by the Question. So I really did like the way you let Beanie become used to the idea that Zack wanted to be with him forever and let him reciprocate the gesture so yay happy Merrigrueter check my spelling? because got that's one fucking name for a ship

    Only one thing caught my eye when you said
    Will you do me the honor, beanie? Beanie should be capitalized.
    But that's menial.

    Overall, I really love this story, even if you thought it wasn't that good. I always love reading your stuff, so keep up the great work!

    AH HAPPY LATE CHRISTMAS GIFT SWAP THINGY (so sorry I didn't get this to you earlier!)

    Okay so I'm not familiar with the fandom but I found that I didn't really need to be which is always great because I hate reading fanfiction and being super confused at what's happening but I really enjoyed reading yours as it read like an original fic. ALSO HI THIS IS SUPER ADORABLE. I liked that you didn't make the couple propose around Christmas time and make it super cheesy AND that the box clearly stated 'do not propose until you're ready' which HELLO super cute and original to think of something like that. I also like that Zack didn't push Jordan to propose or feel a certain way but rather Zack waited for Jordan to be ready AND that a few months had passed (which I loved because it's hella realistic) before Jordan popped the question to Zack. The ending was sweet and not over the board, and the whole story was really cute and fun and easy to read. It's one of those stories you could read over and over again because ahhh, so AW.

    Fool's Holiday is one of my favorite Christmas songs right now and I've listened to it so much that I can't not sing that one line, even in my head. This is really cute good job.
