Take a look at these two and tell me that they are "vanilla".

[yantarnii]

they are both fairies, your honor

I find it lowkey hilarious how Flora quite fits the cottagecore lesbian aesthetic and the colors of the lesbian flag visually, and Helia has a feminine name, so there's this theory that he was supposed to be a female character at first but was changed so Flora wasn't left out and also had a boyfriend, like other Winx. As far as I know, it isn't anything official and just a theory based on his name and a little more feminine features than other specialists (long hair, face), but these two things put together still are funny to me.

Can you recommend some Florelia fanfics please?

So this is actually a terrible question to ask me because I think all Florelia fics are amazing just by the nature of having my OTP 😅.

But here are my general recommendations:

Literally anything and everything by @florelia12. All of her work is fantastic x1000, But Moonlight & Monsters has literally changed my life. I love this fic (and all her fics) soooo much. She is also a (obviously) a massive Florelia stan. AO3 page

The Florelia chapters in Winx Club One Shots by SeaEmerald (chapters 2, 5, and 6). Oh my God is their writing incredible. Very highly recommend all of their fics, if you're interested in other couples/fandoms.

A Natural Fit: Soulmates AU. Also anything by QueenofHufflepuff. I love their writing style to the point where it's inspired my own fics!) They also go under Matrices and Vectors on ffn.

All the Petals Fall by @lynpheas. I swear to God this fic made me quit writing because like what point is there in writing when a fic this good exists 😭😭😭. Also recommend all of @lynpheas works but not all of them are Florelia. AO3 page

Black Sky by SilverSongstress. I cannot emphasize how epic this story is. There's lots of Florelia conflict (that doesn't really get resolved by the end (at least to my memory)) and I was okay with that! There are some issues re: formatting but it's truly a very strong story.

Lunar Rainbow and Under the Cherry Blossoms by Roxy Fan 4 Ever. Literally love these fics so much. So romantic!

The Neighbor by libra986. Now I actually don't remember shit from fuck from this fic, but I remember being OBESSED with it...do with that what you will...

High Temperatures . I like this one.

Six Years, This one is just so nostalgic for me, I think it was one of the OG Florelia fics 😭. I can't tell you how much it PAINS me the sequel is unfinished.

I Promise, Courage from the Heart, Save Me, My Turn to Save You, and Remember Me by Lill2350. Again very nostalgic fics! I think they have a few more Florelia fics as well.

Living a Dream. Very Cute fic.

Chastity Slightly NSFW so don't open if you're at work or underage. But I thought this was a really cute/romantic fic.

Style by KinkyWings. I think this fic is really, really cute. The author has other fics based on more...untraditional pairings (and fics that are definitely NSFW), but I really like this one.

Waned Worries. Why did this person orphan this account 😭? Really good oneshot.

Kamilia has written a bunch of Florelia stories, too many to list and many of them NSFW in one way or another, but check them out if you'd like!

Flora's Christmas. Just a cute Christmas Time Oneshot

As an aside: here are some fics that I tend to really enjoy that focus on Flora or (mostly) Helia as individuals and not as a couple.

Retired, Falling, and The Moonlight Project by @redemptionarcsucker. Their characterizations of Helia are unmatched. And their writing is impeccable! AO3 page

Also @floralovebot has really great Flora/Helia/Florelia headcanons/characterizations on their page.

A Conversation Between... Literally, love this fic with every beat of my heart since I read it years ago. This fic actually focuses mostly on Stormy but Flora has a lot of characterization through her.

The Meaning of the Color Black and Inspired by Kikurukina Bal Des'cagel. Fantastic Helia centric stories by a fantastic author. They have also written on other pairings.

Names. A random, unromantic one shot but I really like the concept.

Never Have I Ever and A Specialist's Journey by QueenofHufflepuff. I've already raved about them in the rec above. Really amazing work. The former is Flora based and the latter mostly Helia based (from what I can remember).

The Shimmering Sunflowers. I am a big fan of fics where Flora is a big sister to Miele.

And finally, I always recommend The Great Witch Rebellion, Brothers at Arms, Band of Brothers, and Bonds of Brotherhood by tearsinrain These fics are focused on the group as a whole and are basically rewrites of the main storyline, but these fics are fantastic. I would bind them into a book if I could. The characterization of Helia (who unfortunately is not really featured in Brothers at Arms), is amazing. And the Florelia scenes that are available are really amazing.

I am a big, big fan of Florelia. If I could fit every fic featuring them onto this ask, I would, but unfortunately, I can't! But if anyone has any additional recommendations please feel free to add! I'm sure there are some stories/authors whom I loved but might have missed, but this is a very general list.

im crying flora’s reaction. oh!

[lynpheas]

i love the idea of flora who is so outgoing and friendly with even the surliest of people, who can strike up a friendly conversation with the likes of riven and witches, getting tongue-tied and flustered around helia to the point where it’s almost obvious that she has no issues conversing with literally everyone besides helia — who is just confused and a little hurt. is it because of his reputation? does he just rub her the wrong way? why him?

How the couples from Winx would enjoy their halloween party:

Bloom & Sky as princess and prince would enjoy their night with their friends and distribute some candy

Stella & Brandon as mermaid and pirate would crack jokes and be the light of the party (Stella would make Brandon carry her)

Flora & Helia as Mickey and Minnie, they would be the mom and the dad of the party 🤣

Tecna & Timmy as a zombie and a heroine on an apocalypse! They would choose the movie the group would eventually watch at the end of the party

Aisha & Nabu as a cute witch and a handsome wizard, they would dance most of the part

Musa & Riven as red riding hood and wolf! they would play instruments and sing during the party

at the end of the party they would decide to watch a horror movie how each couple would react:

Skloom: Would try to pay attention but would get distracted waiting for the scary parts and cover their faces and snuggling at each other

Brella: Stella would still be glued to Brandon, both would fall for the jumpscares but would laugh right after

Florelia: Would pay attention to the plot and discuss about it after with everyone

Tecmy: Would totally pay more attention to the special effects than anything else and would discuss about it between themselves and eventually laugh about their own cute nerdiness

Rivusa: Would wait for the other get scared and laugh at their reaction affectionately

Aisha and Nabu: Would be the ones who enjoyed the movie the most and Nabu would comfort Aisha each time he notices she got scared

awake in bed thinking about fairy!helia... ..

[charmixpower]

Valentines for everyone else!! LMAO chdndjd

Bloom/Sky

Okay but really funnily with these two would be the extreme differences in expectations. Sky is royalty so he's expecting to take Bloom to a extremely fancy restaurant and buy her a necklace or something and Bloom is expecting like some flowers

Bloom is getting overwhelmed and Sky is trying to reroute and their first Valentine's is a mess. They usually just hang out for dates so she has no idea where Sky got this idea vs Sky being autistic and being like "ah yes this is where I do the Grand Gesture™ perfect"

After the first one they know what they're doing and just hang out mostly, neither of them like grand gestures all that much

Bloom/Diaspro

These two would start dating in like like s3~s4 so their first Valentine's would be when the Winx are famous and have probably won the peace prize, so like they usually do nice™ dates and shit because Dia wants to and Bloom is just accepting this is her life

Bloom is trying to hard to get thoughtful and meaningful gifts and Diaspro usually gets Bloom jewelry with stone meanings and magic properties that she thinks Bloom will like

Stella/Brandon

Do I even have to say anything, every year it's a bombastic production of declarations of love. They're off being the absolute most ever and I love them for it

Flora/Helia

They probably just exchange flowers and hang out outside and relax in each other's company and that's super cute

Flora/Mirta

Mirta is such a baby girl and always tries her hardest to take Flora out on a good date™ for Valentines even though Flora said it's fine. She's so nervous and awkward but so lovingly earnest and it makes Flora melt

Tecna/Timmy

Listen they both try SO HARD for Valentines day. They try to get the perfect outfit, go on the perfect date, get the perfect gifts. They're dorks. They're trying so hard and are so earnest and excited it's so cute. They're in their own fucking world even worse than Brella tbh. Tecna has made the perfect itinerary for their date!!! Their plans usually fall though but they're still having fun and love it anyways

Aisha/Nabu

Nabu is a classical romantic, and by that I mean he's sheltered and got all his romance advice from books, so he gets Aisha flowers and they go to a lovely dinner and Aisha really appreciates the effort Nabu is putting in. She also grabs him to do a destination hike to some of the magical wonders of the world which Nabu is always fucking STOKED for. Like seeing the planetary core everywhere, it's literally the best thing to him and he always half forgets about his own plans because of how much fun he's having

Aisha/Anne

Anne always drags Aisha out to do something weird for their Valentines dates. The range is wide from stuff like a pottery class to taking a hike next to an active volcano. Anne loves trying everything and Aisha absolutely loves an adventure so they're just trying to find something they haven't done for every year

Do you have any plans for florelia? Any developments for their relationship?

Yes, we will be seeing developments in their respective arcs relating to their relationship

[imhereformr]

What is your Helia x Flora headcannons ?

Helia loves to lay on her chest/stomach while she plays with his hair. It always relaxes him to the point of falling asleep.

Their favourite way to spend time together is on picnics. They'll go sit in a different part of the woods or one of the large parks in Magix. Flora will tell him all about the plants in that area, and he'll sketch them for her.

By the end of season 3, every surface in Flora and Bloom's bedroom is covered by a plant, one of Bloom's drawings or one of Helia's.

Flora loves to watch him draw. She thinks his concentration face is really cute, especially when he gets into tiny little details of a picture that require extra concentration, and his tongue starts to poke out between his teeth.

They're the second couple to get married, but they have the shortest official engagement period. It's only 4 months. Aisha and Nabu are the first to get married. Musa and Riven have the actual shortest engagement period in that they decide to get married on a whim and never officially get engaged.

They have the largest family - 6 kids, all of whom are named after a plant of some sort. Flora keeps a journal for each kid that she gets everyone they know to write at least one entry in. The cover of each book is a drawing of the plant they're named after. All of Helia's entries are drawings with a paragraph or two of writing.
