Phoenix Eclipse - Hanaki AU

Hanaki AU -

Phoenixeclipse History

Sun Wukong and The Six Eared Macaque are demon warlords who destroy everything in their path.

They had fought against heaven once, but Macaque persuaded his husband to stop before the Buddha got involves, after his eyes were burned in the furnace. (His eyes are hot that way)

Even though they stopped attacking heaven, they still set out on conquering parts of China, which is where they met Phoenix.

Phoenix is a war maiden under her master the Mist Demon. She wields fire and earth to protect her family and friends.

She meets the monkey demons when they attack her mountain, in turn attacking her.

Phoenix’s prowess and determination on the battlefield is the first thing that catches their attention, constantly jumping in the way of their attacks for her shield to block.

The Monkey Demon Lords’ loyalty to each other an prowess is what first attracts Phoenix as well, she feels flutters in her stomach but doesn’t let that deter her from protecting her family and mountain.

They were barely able to drive them off, and only able to do so when they used a powerful shield.

The monkey demons are forced to back off but only do so, for so long.

They don’t interact much until another demon lord begins to attack, one that is able to destroy the shield.

The Monkey demons don’t like that, they weren’t able to destroy and beat Phoenix so why should someone else be able to?

They destroy the demon before he can break the second layer of shields (The Mist Mountain has five layers of shields)

It was seeing this battle and the way they protected the mountain that spurred Phoenix to develop Hanaki and incurable disease.

Unknown to her the monkey demons had also developed it but it didn’t affect them nearly as much as it did her.

Present Day

Phoenix is determined to hide the hanaki from everyone, especially from the monkey demons.

Unfortunately for her, but her master had invited them to dine as gratitude for the save as the demon who was fighting them would have surely killed everyone.

Everyone knew that the demons would be thrown out if the shield sent them out so they deemed it safe.

No one expected them to act so civil though, joyful and kind to all of Phoenix’s sisters, but clearly keeping a much closer eye on the one they fought on the battlefield.

They stay for several nights, and easily hide their Hanaki since they also had each other to love and not being reliant on Phoenix.

However Phoenix was not so lucky, she didn’t only fall in love with one but two monkey demons. Her lungs was full of sunflowers and nightshades, the plants growing like wild weeds.

She was growing weaker and weaker every day, and she refused to let anyone know the truth.

Hehe~ Wonder what two yanderes would do if their crush has hanaki for them??? Especially when it makes her oh so weak~

Hanahaki Echo

(Full body ref under cut)

[awaitinganorphanera]

Who was going to tell me that in order to produce a fic I actually have to write it >:((((( ??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE WORDS DONT JUST APPEAR IN THIN AIR IF I STARE AT THE BLINKING CURSOR LONG ENOUGH WITH MY BRAIN FILLED WITH SO MUCH IDEAS RAHHHH !!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to share a small tidbit of a Hanahaki au CobyMeppo fic/draft/idea/prompt/shitty compilation of words that barely make sense that I've been working on since FEBRUARY but never fucking finished and am currently still struggling to even continue as embarrassing as that sounds because idk whether its cohesive or good enough to even share on Ao3 Its just the idea of Helmeppo developing and struggling through Hanahaki disease would be so neat imo due to how most CobyMeppo shippers head cannon Helmeppo's feelings being unrequited at first (or not at all) and how he just adores Koby so fucking much that he becomes so ruined. I cant. Apologies if the structured and the way it's told is messy and incoherent, I've added the lil space in the indent thingy to depict a different part of the fic since im not very good at transitioning. I haven't written anything in so long and I wanted to pump so much bits that I didn't even weave anything properly so, HERE IT IS: (a lot of it IS corny and a bit cheesy so be forewarned akjsjasjsa)

Koby always liked flowers. Surely then, Helmeppo thought, Koby would like him too. Helmeppo, who dwelled within his prickly walls, each barbed with Rose thorns. Helmeppo, with his muddled virtues, swelling and desiccated like stains from Poppy sap. Helmeppo, with a chest riddled with budding blossoms, all watered by his desolate, weeping heart. Could such qualities appeal to the man he grew to love? Perhaps, Helmeppo thought, and perhaps too, he should have known better.  Known when his feelings had begun to develop into something more than simple tolerance, more than respect, more than adoration and even more than intense attachment to the pink-haired boy. At least then, he would have prepared for the worst. Or at least… That's what he assumed when the worst began. It was a blur, how it started. Helmeppo was always self-aware, extremely conscious of his feelings. He knew of jealousy, anger, longing, all traits that contributed and resulted from his desperate and gnawing want to appease his father. His father, of course. His own blood and bones, the same person who probably caused the beginning of all– this. Was it really a surprise? Helmeppo couldn't think of any fucked up thing in his life that hadn't ultimately been caused by Morgan. He grew to learn how to read the room, read the faces, read the tones, he grew to know his father's thoughts without actually knowing anything about his father's feelings. Did he even feel? Feel for his son? No. Of course not. The only thing Morgan could feel for him was apathy.  Sometimes, Helmeppo wished his father hate him instead, wished that he was worth hitting. At least then, he would have experienced treatment that came with passion and effort, treatment that resulted from feeling, treatment that made him feel at the barest, like he meant something.  The lack of care and lack of anything that Morgan bothered to show to his son was barely even the surface of reasons why Helmeppo is even suffering through this. The cause that made Helmeppos brain chemistry rewire and for his damn neuromodulators to rearrange. To see something as small as a single act of genuine care be perceived as a trick, a lie, a dream that he’d so desperately want to fall into and relive despite the possible consequences. He should have recognized how unhealthy and apparently not normal these thoughts were, should have known that his emotions are unstable and too much, should have seen how horrific he grew to be. But even then, Helmeppo thought, would that have done anything to prevent the illness he'd eventually succumb to?

Of all the horrors in Helmeppo’s life, he would have thought that seeds growing inside his lungs would have been the most and hopefully (though doubtedly, considering his luck in life) last traumatic event that would truly, bring him to ruin. But of course, the world, just like how Helmeppo always found himself to be, would never have enough, and just like the breaths he was left to breathe, would leave him dwindling in the years to come. It started as a blur, again, just like any day in the ship he found himself settled in. A gift. He thought, better than what life offered him when he woke up back in shells town. Or at least that's what he’s been telling himself.  Morgan was cruel, sure, but at least he was familiar. He was easier to navigate, easier to chart and read and hide from.  He couldn’t do this here, when things still felt new. He knew of Garp and his capabilities, but he didn’t know the limits of his patience, he had no clue what and how many things would warrant the usage of his fist. He knew of the shady business of the Navy and the World Government, knew of its structure and how it works; the tutors paid by his father made sure of that much, but he never got to live through it.

SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS ON HOW TO TRANSITION PARTS IN WRITING, I SUCK ASS AND AM OPEN TO CRITIQUES AHJSJAS

Hanaki Polin prompt

(Today on another episode of Polin fics I really want to read. But can't write because I lack both the time and the creativity to do them justice.)

Hanaki disease Soulmate au

The Bridgerton live in a world where Hanaki disease exists, the unrequited love illness, Whereas if you find your soulmate and don't bond with them, you automatically contract the deadly and dreaded Hanaki. Here's the catch, depending on how big or small the potential for true love is in the separated soulmates, the disease can accelerate or slow. So, some people may meet their soulmates in passing once, and live with Hanaki for the rest of their life. Some may die the next day if the bond isn't completed. Penelope is the first case, she knew Colin was her soulmate ever since she came of age. Sadly Colin does not 'see' her as anything more than his little sister's best friend.

So, since there was never anything more than 'pottential love' on his part, Penelope's Hanaki disease was slow to advance. In fact Penelope could hide it really really well for years, it's existence even emboldened her to keep writing LW on the assumption that she is going to be alone for life. She's made peace with the fact Colin will never realize she's his soulmate and that she's going to have to live life constantly inconvenienced by Hanaki. And then all of the sudden, after she reaches age 28, and gives in to ask Colin for a kiss before she retires LW and goes off to live her spinsterhood in the countryside. The Hanaki disease suddenly starts getting worse. And what Penelope thought would happen in years to come, may actually happen in a few weeks.

She doesn't understand why she's vomiting more flowers, why she keeps coughing them up more and more, it's terrible that Colin looks more and more concerned about her. She is fine! she is not...dying. She's not. Because if she were in fact dying, that would mean Colin loves her and he's just too stupid to complete the soulmate bond. Which is ridiculous because he doesn't even believe he has a soulmate!.

Bonus points if you add that Kate almost died of Hanaki in Anthony's arms because he kept denying the soulmate bond, courted Edwina and even went as far as marring Kate while insisting he wasn't capable of loving her. And Benedict had to live with an erratically advancing Hanaki for two years before he found Sophie again and have a terrible time convincing her that she was reaally his soulmate after botching everything by asking her to be his mistress.

This is not me, thinking that the worst thing that could possibly happen to Colin is to find out that he's slowly been killing Penelope for eight years and she's been letting him, because she doesn't think he will love her enough to complete a soulmate bond.

yes, I was feeling angsty with a happy ending today. you guys should write this. I am dying to read more polin soulmate aus.

Stone heart AU - Base

As in TBT it was shown how a troll can transform his skin due to lack of talent and remembering how trolls were also related as stone beings, I decided to have fun with the concept.

•Similar to hanaki disease but, instead of filling the lungs with flowers, a troll's heart turns to stone when they lose hope of being happy again.

•The first symptom would be the loss of colors.

•The troll's skin would gradually crack at the extremities, hardening like stone from the tips, spreading to the center.

• It ends up spreading in its entirety when the heart also hardens, leaving the troll's body in a statue with the last beat.

•It can be reversed, delayed, stopped momentarily or completely by managing positive emotions well and bringing joy to the stone troll or a reason to live and keep going.

•The hardened skin can break, which can cause irreversible damage to the troll in question.

•The hardened parts no longer have sensitivity, so care must be taken in the event of a possible breakage.

Again this is the basics but you can do whatever you want with it, I'll leave the base in case anyone wants to do something more with the concept. Byee, have a good day!! ⊂⁠(⁠(⁠・⁠▽⁠・⁠)⁠)⁠⊃

[notedgyanymore]

Ok, I think I'm finally ready to share my Danny phantom x Steven universe crossover idea!

It's a mash between the two universes and their lore, where the reason why gemkind has become immortal is that they altered their reproduction by becoming beings of pure life energy or what they call eternal light. This eternal light essentially works as the natural opposing force of ectoplasm.

The gems have never encountered other intelligent life form before earth, so they underestimate humanity, they never thought that humans could reach the infinite realms. Ghosts pose an incredible threat to the gems, as they are the only creatures capable of permanently killing gems with no coming back, not even with the help of the diamonds.

That's why it was so alarming when white diamond felt the presence of an opening to the infinity realms, that should not be naturally possible since the first gems closed the connection between the two dimensions, meaning that a portal has been created and needs to be destroyed immediately.

So this is the basics of the prompt, however I will ramble a bit more below. So if are interested, click on the read more section!

About a timeline, I was thinking SU future when Steven is feeling a despaired need of being useful, So he is trilled to be the one solving portal situation. I was also thinking how the gems would react to the ghosts, I imagine that the gems would feel an instinctive repulsion towards them.

You know how the humans in SU avoid the gems and their structures? What if is because they feel somewhat similar to ghosts and humans evolved to avoid them.

The gem's gemstones would parallel ghost cores. I presume that this prompt should also be a ghost king au, so Danny and the ancients could be the ghost counterpart of Steven and the diamonds.

I mention long time ago that Steven would technically be the antagonist, and honestly I still not sure about that, my initial idea was that Steven tried to heal the ghosts with his powers so they could "move on", not understanding that he was actually just poisoning them, the effects of Steven's healing powers would be like hanaki disease where the ghost slowly turn into flowers leading Steven to believe that was a form of reincarnation. Well, that was the idea, still debating if this last part is too mean-spirited though.

hii, i was wondering if you know something about the hanaki disease au (was that spelled right? anyways). i wanted to make a post about it but with an aro character, but then it hit me i never actually read that au, only seen posts about so i wanted to be informed more about the "basics" of the au before.

thanks!! <3

Hello! Thats a good question!

I never know how to spell it 😔

Hanahaki au’s have pretty basic barebones compared to things like the omegaverse

The crux of it is:when faced with unrequited or unadmitted love, Person A is plagued with flowers growing out of their lungs and throat which they cough up untill they either 1) die or 2) confess to Person B

This is a super basic concept and pretty much any way you want to change or adapt it fine! The crux of it is flowers growing in the lungs as a response to an emotional situation, often romantic in nature

As an aro person, I love seeing how people change and adapt the AU to fit a verity of narrative purposes- especially for my other aro homies!

Have fun with your au!

GUYS HEAR ME OUT! VALGRACE HANAKI AU

[xiaosenthusiast]

blooming flowers, for better or worse?

hanahaki disease au (cliche storyline of u like him he doesnt like u back but with my own little twist :D)

!TW! brief mention of death and a couple mentions of blood

2.7k words! took me 2 1/2 hours to write? i hope you guys like it..i’m actually really proud of it😭

—

ah yes, the cliché sob story; the hanaki disease; the unrequited love! how i love these things..the grief, the pain, the jealousy.

oh…

and how could we forget?

the death.

join me traveler, as i tell you a story! one about one-sided love, jealousy, betrayal and misunderstandings.

our story begins with..

—

you were lovestruck; you saw the world through rose colored glasses the second you saw him. he was so ethereal. even just standing there.

‘no yn! you musn’t. you couldn’t possibly fall in love in this world.’

this world..full of danger. full of diseases. the most common one, the hanahaki disease.

HANAHAKI DISEASE - in which the victim coughs up flower petals if they suffer from one-sided love.

if only..if only you hadn’t seen him. if only you hadn’t gone to the boba shop that day.

it was your turn to order and the boy with green hair looked at you with an eyebrow raised. you stepped up trying to avoid eye contact as you found the gift cards much more interesting.

“i’ll have a thai tea.”

“with boba?”

“no thank you..”

you heard some tapping on the screen before he spoke up again.

“will that be all?”

you took a look at the pastries, pondering if you should get a brownie or a cakepop.

“i’ll get a brownie.”

he tapped on the screen again and you felt him look at you, “that’ll be $8.50.”

you opened your wallet and took out four dollar bills and one five dollar bill. he opened the register and took your money.

you looked at him and made eye contact as he handed you your change. he was smiling as you felt your cheeks got hot, you immediately looked back down. he handed you your receipt, holding onto it a little longer than 3 seconds.

“what’s your name?”

“what? what does that have to do with anything haha..”

you looked around nervously and you heard him chuckle. “i need a name to call out for your order, no?”

you tried to calm yourself down and shakily said, “it’s yn.”

“okay yn i’ll let you know when your order is ready.”

you nodded and walked to the booth farthest away from the cash register. there you slumped in your seat and sighed heavily. you looked over to the cash register and found him staring directly at you, you squeaked and looked away.

‘nononono this can’t happen. wait- as long as i don’t fall in love with him i’ll be fine right? i can be attracted to him..’

as you thought to yourself you didn’t hear your name being called. ‘i mean..as long as i don’t get to know him and fall in love i’ll be fine?’

“order for yn?”

you looked up and saw the green haired boy from earlier.

time seemed to stop as you two just looked into each other’s eyes; your heart started beating faster and you felt your face get hotter. he smiled at how you reacted, put the cup and brownie down. he winked at you and walked back to the counter while you stared at the cup he gave you; it had his number on it with a smile next to your name.

xiao !

meanwhile xiao behind the countertop was talking to one of his co-workers about the experience he just had.

“you need to stop flirting with girls. it’s not cool, especially with that hanahaki disease going around..”

“oh come on, you act as if any of them will fall for me. all i do is give them my number..they text me and i just pretend it’s the wrong number; it’s too much fun, seeing their reaction.”

“i’m just telling you..be careful! you don’t know these people, what if one of them does fall for you? what if that person just fell in love at first sight? you don’t know them or how they are. you shouldn’t just assume someone’s feelings, it’s not nice. what if they die because of the disease, you’re going to take responsibility for giving them hope.”

after his manager finished scolding him he turned back to where you were sitting, you were studying and writing some notes down with earbuds in. he leaned his head on his hand as he stared at you, he observed you as you were oblivious to his staring. he took in how your hair shaped your face and you were pretty attractive. he sighed and got back to work.

y/n !

you looked at the time and decided it was time to leave so you cleaned up and walked to the trash can, deciding whether or not to keep the cup and save his number or not. as much as you wanted to, it was very risky. you didn’t want to die from a disease..or get a surgery to get it removed. deciding against it you threw away the cup and walked back to your booth; packing up your belongings and walking out the boba shop. the snow hitting your head as you walked back to your house, it wasn’t that far from the boba shop.

timeskip :))

not seeing him was impossible to do since that boba shop was one of your favorites, you always went there to study; you liked the vibe and the drinks were just good. eventually he memorized what to make you when you walked in and you weren’t as flustered when you saw him anymore. you were able to make eye contact and be polite to him without your face turning red.

what he did notice though, was that he never got a message from you; he noticed you always threw away the cups, napkins, or pieces of paper he had given you with his number on it. he noticed it the first time but thought that you had already saved his number. while he was confused on why you weren’t saving his number, you were always shocked when you saw his number written down on something when you got your order. was he into you or something?

if he was…maybe being his friend wouldn’t be bad?

one day you walked into the boba shop and he stood behind the counter smiling at you as you walked up. you took a quick look at his nametag and addressed him by his name.

“hi..xiao…the usual, please..?”

you felt awkward being friendly with him, after all you avoided making small talk or getting to know him. he seemed as shocked as you did and you just looked around while your face turned hotter. he smiled and started laughing.

“the first time in three months of coming here, and you actually said my name..i was wondering how long it would take.”

your heart started pounding as he continued laughing, eventually you started laughing with him too.

“yn’s usual order, coming right up.”

he smiled and gave you your receipt. you went and sat down at the booth you usually sat in and took your stuff out to start studying. after a couple of minutes he brought your stuff out and sat across from you. you looked at him and you were both staring at each other, “why won’t you save my number?”

your eyes widened at his question, was he really that into you?

you awkwardly smiled, how were you supposed to answer that? ‘i’m not into you, sorry.’ that is such a lie! i’m totally into him! i just don’t want to get that horrible disease!

wait..if he was already into you…would you get the disease? i mean you’re not suffering from a one-sided love. so weighing your options you chose the best option out of this situation.

you tilted your head and put a finger on your chin; you made a confused expression and said, “you gave me your number?”

he stared at you for a couple of seconds before opening his mouth to talk, he was dumbfounded. “y-you never saw it?”

you nodded and continued to play dumb, he brought up how many times he had wrote it down for you to see but you wouldn’t budge. he slumped in his seat with a defeated expression, “i give up. it seems like you really never saw my number.”

“if you want..”

your heart started racing.

“..you can give it to me now?”

your face turned hotter.

he thought about it, he thought about why he hasn’t given up on giving you his number. before he was doing it for fun and now he just didn’t know why he never stopped; he was waiting for your text after work.

he smiled at you and wrote his number down on the napkin and slid it over to you. “we should hang out sometime.” with that he got up and walked back to the counter.

to be perfectly honest, you were still very afraid of getting that disease. but xiao seemed into you, it didn’t seem like it was going to be a one-sided love. so you decided to risk it; instead of suppressing your emotions whenever you saw him you expressed them. he did the same and it made you happy, unfortunately neither of you made a move to make it official so you were stuck in that ‘more than friends less than lovers’ stage.

at least you were stuck in it until someone new came into the store. you were studying like usual and a girl with blue hair walked in. she had a white coat on and her light blue hair was in a ponytail with a bow, she dusted herself off and you could sense her presence the moment she walked in. you were watching her and xiao interact, you were growing slightly insecure. she smiled at xiao and sat down at a window table near the cash register, unlike you where you sat in the corner of the shop nowhere near the register. or a window.

she looked so pretty. just sitting there. she was scrolling on her phone and you found yourself comparing yourself to her.

“order for ganyu.”

you heard your not-boyfriend yell, you eyed her cup to see if there was a number on it. she got up and walked over to the counter, grabbed some napkins and walked out.

‘guess i really was overthinking..’

or at least that’s what you thought until you looked over at xiao he was staring at the door, as if he was expecting her to walk back in. you felt a deep pit settle itself in your stomach, you were feeling very anxious right now.

all of a sudden you started coughing violently, you felt all kinds of emotions going through you. the most distinct one though; you were feeling dread. your coughing fit had caught the attention of xiao as he walked over to you. you ran to the bathroom before he could get to you, you locked the bathroom and kneeled over the toilet.

what you started coughing up made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. you were mortified right now. this is what you wanted to avoid. this is why you knew it wasn’t a good idea to get close to him. he was ripped away from you just like that; in two seconds, when that girl walked in.

“yn? are you okay in there..?”

you heard xiao softly knock on the bathroom door and you got up. you flushed the toilet and opened the door. you smiled at him and walked right past him. he looked at you confused, why weren’t you saying anything?

“yn? seriously, are you okay?”

“mhm! peachy- cough peachy keen!”

“at least let me check if you have a fever-”

you were packing away your things, getting ready to leave. you turned around and xiao was right there,his hand was right there and he put it up against your forehead. the action warmed your heart and you felt another coughing fit coming up.

“yn you’re burning up, should i walk you home?”

“no i’m-i’ll be- cough cough”

blood covered petals were being forced out of your throat as you held onto your chest. xiao stood there, speechless; his eyes were wide and he was staring at you. “do- what? what happene-”

you grabbed your belongings and shoved him out of the way. he tried chasing after you but he was scared stiff; he couldn’t move, shock and horror going through his body.

you at home started crying your eyes out, you were in so much pain. how did all of his feelings vanish after seeing her for two minutes? it wasn’t fair, did those four months mean nothing? you were really in a world of hurt. bloodied petals being coughed up while experiencing heartbreak, how did he get over you so fast?

he didn’t see you for the next month; he started staring out the door more, expecting you to walk in. he was spaced out more than usual at work, he looked over to where you would usually be sitting and his heart tore a little when he didn’t see you there.

this didn’t last long though, as the blue-haired customer started coming in more. xiao was entranced by her and eventually he was able to do his work just fine as long as he could see her more. she seemed to share the same thought.

you knew what you had to do, it’s not like he would care anyway. you had the proof in your body, he didn’t love you anymore. you scheduled an appointment, you knew what this meant; you would be forgetting about him and your feelings for him all together.

another timeskip ><

it had been about 5 months since xiao had seen you, honestly he had you locked away in the back of his mind. he didn’t want to remember what happened that day; he felt guilty. he felt guilty for letting yoy walk out like that. he felt guilty for letting your feelings go on like that. he knew. he knew about your feelings for him; he had feelings for you too.

that was until that blue haired girl walked in. unlike her, he didn’t have love at first sight with you. he had to get to know you, he had to get closer to you for his feelings to actually develop. she walked in and took his heart from you, tearing yours in the process.

when he heard the bell of the door ring he looked up expecting it to be ganyu, but you had walked right in. his eyes widened and memories started pouring into his mind. you looked at him confused, “where’s lumine? did she hire someone new..”

you mumbled to yourself while wondering who the new worker was. you shrugged and walked right up to him.

“hi! i’ll get a-”

“thai tea, no boba with a brownie? warmed up?”

you were stunned to say the least, “huh? did you read my mind or something? ARE YOU A FORTUNE TELLER?”

you stared at him determined to know the truth, “okay honestly..how did you know what i was going to order??” you were a little scared but intrigued.

“you don’t remember?”

“what? remember what?”

xiao started to connect the dots, did you get the surgery in those five months you disappeared? no you couldn’t have possibly..

“yn did you get the sur-”

he was quickly shut up by a mouth on his hand, “yn, hi! how’s everything going?”

“lumine! everything’s going fine, i just wanted to come here more..you liar you said this place was only open weekdays! also when did you hire him?~ he’s pretty cute!”

you winked at him and his ears went red.

“oh trust me, you don’t want him..he’s a troublemaker.”

you laughed and lumine side eyed xiao. “what can i get for you yn?” she smiled and looked back at you , she took her hand off xiao mouth and took your order. he just watched the interaction between you two.

lumine told you to go sit down, but when she walked to the back you winked at xiao again.

“so what’s your name?”

“oh, it’s xiao..” he took a moment to reminisce the memories between you two.

“well..nice to meet you xiao, i hope we get to see each other more often!” you turned and went to go sit at a window table.

it seems even if you forgot all about him, you could never resist his charm.

Hanaki AU

Garak doesn’t want to admit his feelings and therefore keeps spitting out flowers. He refuses to tell Doctor Bashir even when the doctor explicitly asks him about it. About where the hanaki comes from. He asks Garak what emotions he suppresses with such intent that a hanaki was able to form in the first place. He promises not to tell anyone else, Garak is safe with him, he can tell him.

But Garak wants the doctor to operate the hanaki out, cut it from his chest. The doctor refuses, he won’t do it. It is an operation, it bears risks, in addition to what removing a hanaki means in any case: It will leave Garak devoid of feelings and Doctor Bashir doesn’t want his friend to be an empty shell. Garak has to talk about his feelings, he has to, or he’ll die. But Garak is stubborn, so so stubborn and he holds back while the hanaki grows, gets worse and worse. Every breath is painful, every breath takes so much more effort than the last but Garak can’t talk about his feelings for Doctor Bashir.

Especially not to him! But that is exactly what he has to do when he wants the hanaki to go away. Maybe if he is close to death, the doctor will finally relent and cut the fucking thing out. He won’t let Garak die, will he?

But when Garak collapses in his quarters, from the lack of oxygen and the pain, flower pedals all around him, enough to cushion his fall, he isn’t so sure anymore. Maybe he will die. Because he can’t tell Doctor Bashir that he is in love with him and has been for years.

Garak has always assumed he will die in some hate-crime. Killed for vengeance or something, but it seems he was wrong and he will die for love. He will die from a hanaki, born from his need to keep the love he feels secret. A love so strong it changed Garak. A love so strong it will kill Garak.

Barging in to say AAAHHH HANAHAKI AU!!!! Not gonna lie, that one has had me EXCITED since you first told me about it!!! It's SUCH an interesting concept and take on it and I get feeling nervous cause !t's a popular and loved fic trope but I promise you that people will love your take on it!!

The fact that Minho studies Hanaki and knows so well what symptoms he's getting and how it's going to get worse AND simultaneously him being fascinated by the disease, is delicious!! especially combined with how it's established from the get go that Chan doesn't like staying in one place and Minho wouldn't want to tie him down. And I'd LOVE to get chapters inbetween of Minho's notes, it's so cool to see a scientific approach to hanahaki!

I do absolutely get why this wouldn't be an easy fic to write BUT I hope you know that if you ever get around to writing it, whether that's this year or ten years from now, there will already be at least one person vibrating with excitement and ready to encouragingly yell at you!!! <3

honestly i'm also SO excited to write it; partially because i think it's a fun idea and would challenge me and partially because i know it will hurt many, many people when they read it. i can reach heights of angst i've never reached before hahahahahaaaaaaa.

and honestly your support means so much!!! i don't know if i say that enough but it really does, it was like 90% you that encouraged me to start the witch mafia again and i've been having so much fun with it! so thank you my friend <333
