#but its still kinda painful to remember how onesided it felt at the time

Could I hear some of your ideas for that flower fic??

Hi, sorry for the delay!! Thought I should answer this on my laptop instead of my phone. 

I’m gonna put it under a read more, cause I know hanahaki can (understandably) make some people uncomfortable.

But because this is me, there’s a 99% chance you can guess who the poor main character is. I think the term for this type of thing would be canon compliant....? Mostly?

basically its onesided wusako 

probably started off with a bit of a cough some time before writing the letter, didn’t think much of it.

things only get worse as time goes on. soon enough wu’s dealing with a weird pain in his chest, a whole lot of coughing, AND the freaking war on top of it all.

garmadon announces that he and misako are seeing each other. wu still has not heard ANYTHING about the letter..... had he made a fool of himself? did she want to pretend like nothing happened? regardless, shes his friend, so hes happy for her and for garmadon, they seem so happy. 

its wu, so he doesnt say anything about it to anyone, not even when he starts coughing up petals.

peonies. misako’s favourite flowers. 

no one knows still, but those closest to him (like garm and ray) know something is up.

i havent worked everything out yet but eventually mystake figures out what’s going on; either shes seen it before long ago or maybe its a Thing that can happen to oni? who knows. not me. im just here for the angst and suffering. (sorry wu)

shes kinda pissed that it’s progressed to the point where hes coughing up entire flowers and sometimes blood and he hadnt said anything. he says it was because he was trying to find out what it was. 

when he learns what’s caused it, well..... he CANT tell this to misako, what if she felt guilty? he couldnt do that to her. and he thinks hes already told her his feelings, so there’s no point anyway. (remember, it wasnt til s4 when the Truth came out) 

the only non love related way to get rid of the disease is a tea mystake can brew - but in getting rid of the flowers in his lungs, ANY feelings for misako would go away, unlikely to ever return. had it just been romantic feelings, wu would have accepted this in a heartbeat. but she’s a dear friend.... if he could never be friends with her again..... surely there must be another way.......

i think at some point garmadon finds out from mystake and hes just ‘....i just wanted misako, not for wu to die....’ and shes like ‘what now’  and he gets scolded by his aunt djgagkljeioda 

i dont know what happens, how it all ends....... spark took over my brain before i could think of anything and its the only thing ive been able to think of since so i havent put much effort into this.... story? idea? even though i did all that research into flower symbolism before just deciding peonies are pretty, misako is pretty, i think some of the symbolism matched maybe. 

i forgot to mention but of course misako is here for her friend in his tough time. he definitely tries to hide it from her of all people.
