A/N: For Valentine's this year, I and the rest of the FicFags Anonymous decided to put up an all-request thread. The idea was to give people a chance to get something written for their pairing, whether it was canon, common, crack, or obscure. While a few others helped, in the end I took responsibility to do most of the prompts on my own. Unfortunately, between this fact and a dislocated shoulder, I'm not done with all of them yet. Fortunately, my shoulder's now back in working order and I'm back on track to finish them all within the week.
Mind you, this is kind of a massive undertaking. As of the completion of Silver/Yellow, this is the remaining prompts to fill: (pastebin / com) /7BD9h8wY
I'll be posting everything I've written, as well as a few of the fills that people without accounts put up, and linking to what others have posted.

Orange's: /s/6762107/1/Valentines_Day_in_Moments
Please treat the chapter list as a table of contents and feel free to skip to the pairings that appeal to you. Be warned that a few of these got a little sexual, but I was trying to focus on romance and/or unrequited love, as they are the primary emotions of Valentine's.
Any specific details for each prompt will be posted under the pairing in each fic.
Please let me know if you'd like your pairing added to the request list, and which pairings you'd like to see me write more of in the future. The list came out as about half/half things I'm used to and things I'd never thought of before, so I'm definitely open to suggestions.
Red/Yellow
Mangaverse
He found her waiting for him at the edge of Pallet, looking just a little more frazzled and somehow a little more feminine than usual, part of her hair loose and hanging around her face. Whether it was there by design or simply from the rush she'd been in to get here, he didn't know, but he couldn't help but think she looked just a little cuter this way.
"Yellow... What are you doing here?" he said with a smile, adjusting his hat and extending a hand in greeting. She blushed, stammering and lowering her head, and for the first time he noticed her arms tucked behind her, clearly holding something to her back.
"I-I," she stuttered, pretending to watch as Chuchu greeted Pika, though her eyes went wide and her gaze shifted when they shared the pikachu equivalent of a kiss. "It-"
Red chuckled, reaching up with his still-extended hand to pat her on the shoulder. He could guess already why she was here - even if the date hadn't given it away, the bit of ribbon visible at her side did. Yellow's actions had spoken of her crush on Red long before she'd been aware of it herself, and so far he was undecided on how to respond.
She looked absolutely lovely today though, and he felt an odd sense of pride well in his chest as she suddenly took a deep breath, swinging the small package around in front of her and spouting "Happyred'sdayvalentine" as one large word, her hands trembling slightly.
"Thank you," he said simply, not correcting her as he took the gift gently, letting his hands brush across hers as it passed between them.
Her blush deepened until she and Chuchu could have been twins as she jerked her hands back, wringing them together at her waist. "I... Homemade chocolates," she explained. "Blue showed me how."
"I'm surprised she'd know how," he laughed, examining the gift wrapping carefully. Pika darted up his side to lean out and sniff at the package curiously, leaving a moment of silence between them where Yellow began to sway in place.
"W-well, I know you're leaving, so, you're probably in a hurry, and I'll let you go," she rambled suddenly. "B-but please let me know how you like the gift! I... making it was fun, and I want to do even better next time," she added.
"I'm sure it'll be delicious," Red answered, and she smiled, then quickly turned to leave.
He stopped her with a hand on her arm, and her breath caught so hard she thought she might faint on the spot.
"I don't think I'll be back in time for White Day," he said, head bowed slightly.
"I-it's okay!" she answered, holding her hands up in defense and waving them slightly. "You don't need to-"
Red's free hand slipped her hat off, his lips pressing to her bare forehead, the other still gripping the present to his chest. "I've got a bit of time before I need to go. Why don't we sit somewhere and share the chocolates you made?"
"I-I..." Yellow gulped, then found one of her hands attached to the older boy's sleeve, and suddenly, the embarrassment seemed to fade. "...Yes," she said, with the confidence he knew her for. "I'd like that."
