There are some outstanding freeform tags we have not yet accepted:

Bed-sharing leads to embarrassing wet dreams
Would it be all right to accept as 'bed-sharing with the object of pining leads to embarrassing wet dreams'?
Characters Are Estranged
Would it be all right to accept as 'Pining for an estranged loved one'?
elaborate courtship rituals and misunderstandings
Would it be all right to accept as 'Pining A carries out elaborate courtship rituals and causes misunderstandings', or 'elaborate courtship rituals and misunderstandings while mutually pining'?


(Resolved) Conversations with double meanings
This is in the tagset as 'Conversations with double meanings due to pining'; is that all right?
(Resolved) Cooking as an expression of affection
This is in the tagset as 'Cooking as an expression of affection for the object of pining'; is that all right?

(Resolved) Yandere
Is in the tagset as 'Pining Yandere'; is this all right? (If you wanted the other character pining for the yandere, we can add that - let us know.)


Insecurity over monstrous characteristics
Could this be reworded to be related to pining?
Difference in Social Station
Could this be reworded to be related to pining?
