This is as close as I am allowed to get. I have stolen too many tufties from @adailyviolet.bsky.social and my privileges have been revoked.

The final prompt of Creepmas is Gift Giver. This is a hangingfly, which gives nuptial gifts (though they aren't usually wrapped in paper and shiny ribbons).

Not sure it's the BEST choice of reading material when I'm sick with respiratory gunk, but the stories are good!
