#look i just love flowershop aus ok

[twiixr4kidz]

can you do gideon graves x reader who owns a flowershop? (male reader if you can, if youre not comfortable gn reader is ok !!)

yeah ofc!! i love me a good flower shop au :3 here's a little drabble for ya!! im sorry this totally isn't the best

gideon graves x flowershop owner male!reader

gideon was never the type of guy to buy flowers. none of his previous partners ever got them because "they'll just die anyways, i can get you something better than that". fortunately, he's been going through a bit of a reformatory period. his life had brought him to a point where he needed to learn to appreciate the smaller things. for example, flowers!

with a nervous look on his face, he waltzed into your flower shop and was instantly taken aback. it smelled sweet and warm like a summer breeze. roses and lilacs and lillies crowded his vision and their pretty smells invaded his nostrils. it was foreign; he was beginning to realize why his girls had wanted flowers in the first place.

you were standing behind the counter, fiddling with a bouquet you were working on, when you saw gideon's confused ass wandering around. you smiled softly. he looked like he'd taken "stop and smell the roses" just a bit too seriously. his glasses perched the top of his nose and he nervous bounced on the tips of his toes.

"find everything alright, sir?" you asked. you knew he wasn't. it was cute. gideon practically whipped his head around, searching for the source of the voice. as his soft brown eyes met yours, a pink blush grew on his cheeks. he'd never been attracted to a dude before but, fuck, where had you been his whole life?

"i certainly am now."

Hiii pookie

I’m currently hyperfixating on Jjk so I don’t have a lot of ideas for Welcome Home lmao

I’m scrounging up the few ideas I have rn just so I can round them up before I forget them 😭

That one au I made with Holly and Wallace helping Eddie with his mailman job while he has depression is perpetually stuck in my head I love them

Daisey pops up in the au and they are a HATER

Legit, they’re only there to keep Eddie on a positive streak because he’s their bestie

Eddie needs glasses but he doesn’t wear them cause he keeps dropping and breaking them. He’s just blind walking around the neighborhood

He’s memorized every part of the post office so he’s fine walking around in there blind

Daisey is pretty much the same in this au but they aren’t big fans of the other neighbors besides maybe Julie and Frank. Everyone else can suck it /j

FlowerShop doesn’t happen in this au me thinks

Daisey cares too much for Eddie and too little for Howdy for them to work out in this au

Holly and Wallace cuss a lot. Everyone just looks at them as if they’ve never heard cussing before, Eddie laughs since he finds it amusing

Eddie cusses a little too, everyone gasps

Me thinking Daisey and Eddie having a sleepover and Daisey tells Eddie that they love him :)

He replies, I love you too Frank,” and completely destroys the mood :(

Matching sibling outfits are a NEED

They get matching pajamas for a sleepover and Holly refuses to admit she likes them

Holly hates on Eddie a lot less in this au I think, she just pities him more than hates him

Wallace feels the same as he usually does about Eddie, they get along okay

My brain is consumed by Suguru Geto right now, I love my depressed little guy

I don't what that is but Good For You! /genuine

Depressed Eddie hc ouagh I eat that shit Up. It should be stuck in your head gah what a concept

Daisey the Hater era heck yeah! We love to see them only care about One person and slowly grow to like his (cough- only) two friends!

They walk backwards into the post office, glaring at Howdy. Only reason they don't flip him off is bc Eddie will get upset if he sees. He's too sweet.

I feel most of Eddie's swears are those nonsense countrisms no one understands. So when he drops a nice clean Fuck! everyone is shocked.

NNOOOOO Don't Do That To Me!! Oh There Are So Many Reasons He Could Have Said That. Ok well I got 2 but Still.

1. His issue with names got him mixed up and landed him on the Worst option. He genuinely meant to say Daisey (platonic or not up to you bestie) (He sometimes signs letters with other people's names iirc. my poor boy isn't great in the name department)

2. Eddie Was Sleepy And Was Not Paying Attention. Boy's halfway to Dreamland and was thinking about the puppet of his dreams. (sorry Daisey sobs 😭)

Both options still kill the mood and that is now a very awkward sleepover. I'm ruined, you've ruined me /j /pos

Oh good some wholesome food. Matching PJs are literally the cutest thing every. Holly for the love of beans admit you like the pjs lol

I feel like pitying Eddie is almost worse? But I don't think Eddie would notice it right away so eeeh. I see Eddie as someone who really doesn't like being pitied tbh

Anaïs' Flower Shop

Anaïs’s flower shop had dominated the corner of the street for as long as Marinette could remember. The first time she went, age 5, she and her father were getting flowers for her mother. Her father had talked to the old lady in the pink apron and the light blue shirt for some time while Marinette wandered through roses and tulips that towered over her head in their pastel buckets, past seeds and pretty vases. She and her father had left with an orchid in a pot.

The first time Marinette had been allowed to go to see Anaïs by herself she’d been eight, and the corner store seemed very far as she put her umbrella over her head and brought over the ordered coffee and croissant. The flower shop was bustling and Anaïs greeted her with a smile. They talked about school between sunflowers and seed packets, and Anaïs sent her home with a pack of marigold seeds to try growing on her balcony. 

Marinette’s first summer job, not counting the one at home, was helping Anaïs when she was eleven and the old woman had broken her knee. She spent her days in the bright shop, watering flowers and getting advice from the old woman at the counter, preparing orders and bringing home the dying plants she wanted to save. Anaïs’ sharp wit but gentle, nurturing nature encouraged her. 

“You can’t save every plant.” Anaïs told her one morning, sitting behind the register with her cane at her side, still wearing her pink apron. Marinette had been distressed at the dead hyacinths and come in out of sorts. “You try your best but eventually you have to give up. Sometimes what you do just doesn’t work.” She finished wiping down the counter. “You tried your best, Nettie. That’s the best you can do.” 

She’d gone home that summer with more plants than she could count. 

She and Anaïs got along very well. When her parents went on date night and she was too young to stay alone, Anaïs would come over and they’d sit in the kitchen. Marinette would talk about her latest designs and Anaïs would ask all the right questions, leaning on her cane as she made croquettes stuffed with cheese and ham or cut the vlaai she brought from her apartment. Marinette told her a lot; about Chloe, about Kim and Nino, about what she wanted to do that weekend, about problems she was having with her parents. Anaïs made hot chocolate and told stories. 

When Marinette turned thirteen, she got a new pair of earrings, several new classmates, and a ladybug kwami that hid in her bag. She got new positions and a great deal of stress, and Anaïs shop became somewhere she tried to visit a few times a month to say hello. Anaïs greeted her with the same crinkled knowing smile and told her to visit more often.

When Marinette went over when she was fourteen, after almost two years of stress and exhaustion and in need of quiet, Anaïs finished closing the shop and brought her upstairs. They drank hot chocolate and ate vlaai made the day before, and Marinette talked. Anaïs listened and didn’t say anything for some time. 

“You’ve always been a very caring person, Nettie.” Anaïs was eighty years old with pale pink apron Marinette had made for her when she was twelve. Marinette had tried to give her new ones but Anaïs insisted on wearing the first to death. “You cried in my shop about dead flowers more than I can count. I love you for it, and many other reasons. But I told you, a long time ago, that you can’t fix every flowers.” She tapped her cane on the ground. “I think you might need to start reconsidering what you’re trying to fix. Take care of yourself, Nettie, before you’re burned out.” Marinette considered that a bit. They caught up, talking about akumas and homework and customers. Before Marinette left, she got a collection of geraniums. “You haven’t gotten new flowers in some time. They’re good for ladybugs.” Anaïs had winked rather broadly. “Take care of yourself, Nettie.”

When Adrien came over and Marinette was visiting Anaïs, he came over and found the pair drinking hot chocolate and eating vlaai. The old woman looked him up and down, then gave him valerian with the claim that it was good for anxiety and good for cats. Then she sat him down, poured him a heaping mug of hot chocolate, handing him a healthy slice of vlaai, and told him that he was welcome to visit as much as he liked. As Marinette picked which friends she thought she could work things out with and which were too far gone, she brought over Nino and Kim and Luka, Rose and Juleka and Kagami and Alya. Anaïs looked all of them up and down and gave them flowers that she thought they could use, and she told Marinette that she’d picked good flowers to work with. 

Adrien became a regular customer too. His instagram photos became covered in plant pictures and he visited Anaïs when he visited the bakery. When they turned sixteen, Anaïs broke her knee again. Adrien became her summer worker this time, wearing a pink apron Marinette had made for Anaïs. She fussed over him just as much as she fussed over Marinette, and she sent him home with yet more plants. She asked him why the valerian and the cat mint had little bites in them and she laughed at him when he looked embarrassed, telling him it was fine to just leave the money on the counter and put a few plants out for the stray cats, though not too close to the shop because the cats would never leave. She stuffed his arms full of cosmos and mint and told him where to plant it to attract the most ladybugs. “If you need them, I can get you some wire for the foxes.” she said when he’d complained about Lila once again. “It’s good for keeping them out. Or you can just get one of those loud noisemakers, though that doesn’t work necessarily for long.” Marinette visited him off bakery hours, or he would go visit her during lunch. Anaïs would tuck a collection of seeds or fertilizers or flowers for him to bring, and smile smugly when he came back blushing.

Anaïs looked too smug when Adrien and Marinette got together, and even more so when the Ladyblog reported (with some screaming on Alya’s end) that Chat Noir and Ladybug were dating. Both Marinette and Adrien turned red and said nothing. 

When she retired, age 89, she offered the shop to Adrien. He’d worked summers with her, between shoots, since he was sixteen. When he turned nineteen and fought with his father bitterly over everything, Anaïs let him work for her more permanently. She told him to take a business course so he could learn the basics of running her shop, and she lived upstairs but the shop was his. 

When they got married, a few years later, Anaïs sat on Adrien’s side in a pretty pink dress Marinette made for her, flowers in her hair, and she still looked very smug. She had spent hours on the flower arrangements, tucked catnip into Adrien’s pocket, and a marigold into Marinette’s hair, because Adrien loved cats and Marinette had a thing for ladybugs. 

She met the first of their babies and was perfectly happy to carry them around while they both worked, walking laps around the flowers and telling baby Hugo everything about each blossom. Each babble got a serious response. 

Anaïs died shortly after her 93 birthday. Her gravestone, covered with marigolds and catnip, (planted with loving hands she’d taught herself) became a hot spot for the ladybugs and cats. 

----

Thank you for reading!

Marinette’s balcony flowers have to come from somewhere. I like to think she and the flower shop owner know each other pretty well at this point. I also like Adrien as a flower shop owner/worker. I’ve seen AUs with it before and it brings me joy, and it’s been a rough week. I’m going to treat myself to a bit of fluff. And no, I’m not sure where Anaïs came from. 

Also? It’s very hard to figure out how old Marinette is. I’ve heard things saying that she’s the same age in the entire series, but then on the wiki it says she’s 15 in season three? So… I kind of made it up a bit. 

Side note, classes have started and I’m exhausted, first time in an apartment by myself (my roommate is coming in January). I don’t know how much writing I’ll be able to do, or how good my inspiration will be, but I’ll be doing my best for Monday updates, maybe more!

May Flowers! Today's theme is Flowershop AU.

Check out last week's post, Language of Flowers, here. Today's post includes a guest rec from @mystickitten42, identified by this 🏵 flower! Thanks Tara!!! Have a rec you think belongs in this series? Send me a DM! Drarry unless otherwise noted.

🌹 Inked by @arrowofcarnations // M // 44K // Wolfstar // this was such a darling fic - I absolutely flew through it and fell in love with these two. Sirius as the mysterious new next door neighbor with his tattoo shop (and tattoos 👀), Remus with his quiet, unassuming flower shop. too good!!! A+ banter, slow burn, RHPS references ✅✅✅

“Sure.” Remus grinned wryly. “You can discuss the badassery of various plantlife with all the little old church ladies.”

🌹 Six Bloody Months by @jet-playin-around // E // 14K // you'll be cheering by the time these two move from idiots to lovers. A+++++++++

He swept into the flower shop at least once a week, bringing coffee and those “sand biscuit”… things, and browsing the display bins and shelves. Sometimes, he’d leave with a bouquet or a potted plant; sometimes, he'd spend the time chattering away about whatever came to mind, seemingly forgetting all about flowers.

🌹 Pansies on My Skin by @melanoradrood // E // 12K // Paneville // I recommended this back in January but you better believe I'm back again to tell you how much I love this fic. sweet, awkward Neville flips a switch and takes bad bitch, inked pansy down for the count. 🔥🔥🔥 this art from @artofcrumbs? ALSO 🔥🔥🔥

“Neville,” she said, staring at the plant. “Did you... did you bring me a potted pansy?”

More recs, including art and podfics, under the cut!!

🌹 There’s a Thunder Inside My Heart (It’s a Wonderful Pleasure) by @serenecalamity // E // 9K // ok this is maybe only 5% flowershop AU and 95% Harry having a daddy kink and I am HERE FOR IT. 🙌

Just because Draco lived in the Muggle world now, didn't mean that he had cut off ties with the Wizarding World completely—he didn't think he would be able to do that if he tried, given it was all he had known growing up—so maybe there were a few spells that he used to help him around the shop that gave him an edge compared to other flower and plant boutiques, and he and Neville Longbottom actually talked at length and shared a lot of tips when it came to Herbology.

🌹 A Garland of Pansies by @agentmoppet // E // 8K // Pansmione // the PINING. the FLIRTING. the BOUQUETS. all SO good, 11/10 would recommend.

Snarling, she pushed herself away from the wall and descended the stairs. Halfway down, the rich, calming scent of flowers hit her, and at least thirty percent of her hangover vanished as a smile appeared on her face. She always loved that the florist shop’s aroma didn’t quite reach her flat above it. It kept the olfactory association limited to her work, rather than blurring the lines between the two and making her sick of the overpowering florals. And that meant that every time she entered the shop, it was like the first time all over again.

🌹 Camellias: Red for Desire by @maraudermandy // E // 6K // Charlie/Angelina // this was the first fic I've ever come across for this pairing! super hot and fun, both pretending to be muggles until George throws a wrench into things.

Charlie opened the door and Angelina’s hand squeezed his as a gasp left her lips. She stood in the entryway as her eyes roamed over the displays of florals and colors. She had never seen so many florals in such a small space. There were intricately made bouquets displayed as well as buckets of individual flowers sorted by type and color. She wasn’t familiar with too many muggle flowers, though he didn’t need to know that, and Herbology was never her best subject, but she couldn’t help but be in awe at the beauty surrounding every corner of the shop. He turned and looked at her, blushing at the bright smile on her face.

🌹 A Tree Starts with a Seed by @aokinashi // G // 5K // accidental bonding, precious bean Scorpius, seven days without touching that these two keep accidentally resetting? SO good. plus, the artwork is absolutely gorgeous!!

“Welcome back.” He said instead, because he was a reasonable, functional adult in his late twenties, with duties and responsibilities, and absolutely no time to cultivate a crush on Draco Malfoy, of all people.

🏵 Pensées d'Attirance by @orpheus87 // G // 2K // "A gorgeous, fluffy, feel-good fic filled with all the best things: mutual pining, mysterious colour-changing flowers, brilliant yet insecure Draco, oblivious Harry (who blushes adorably), and a wonderfully supportive (and meddling) Narcissa." @mystickitten42

It became a daily routine. Around nine-thirty am the bell above the door would chime and Harry would walk into the shop. Draco couldn’t help but notice that his mother never seemed to be around to help serve, so he found himself dealing with Harry’s increasingly strange requests for flowers and plants.

🌹 Flowers for Walburga by @chlobliviate // M // 1922 // Wolfstar // had a genuinely good chuckle over this one. love meddling Lily, Remus in a flower shop, Sirius wanting to fuck with his mum, both of them getting a date out of the situation!!

“No, no. I was wondering if you could help me. We have a mutual friend and she told me that you know the meanings behind different flowers and I,” He paused, “This is going to sound horrible probably, but… I would like a bunch of flowers that says ‘fuck you' in the most passive-aggressive way you can manage.”

Art & Podfics!

🌹 A Tattoo to Match by @pinkelephant42 // T // art // Draco/Neville

🌹 Consider the Daffodil by @janieohio, podfic by @anaxandria-writes & @evaeleanor // T // podfic, 11 minutes

"Well, you look good," Harry said, then felt his face heat when he replayed what had come out of his mouth. "I mean the shop. It looks like you're doing well."

🌹 Where Flowers Bloom by @smolbus // G // art // Scorbus

[chiclete-com-manga]

Ok, here is some more flowershop!au

Please keep in mind that this is translated, so the dialogues can kinda sound a bit robotic :')

Chrysanthemums shouldn't always be taken seriously

CW! A divorce where both people are fine with each other, mammaQ, teacher Wilbur and a lot of analogies with yellow chrysanthemums (flower that means slighted love)

•° Fluff °•

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

Quackity was working in his little flower shop when he saw a familiar face walking through the front door. He was a regular there, every morning he went to buy flowers, specifically yellow chrysanthemums; Alex always asked himself why the man bought the same flowers every time, since its meaning is quite saddening; most of the time he tossed those thoughts aside with 'who the fuck even knows plants meanings nowadays anyway?' And 'maybe he just thinks it's pretty.'

"Welcome back! What will be today's flower?" Q said with a smile on his face, their conversations always started like that, and then talked until it was close to ten minutes to the customer's job start. Apparently, using information Quackity managed to grab in their small talks, he was a literature teacher at a college nearby.

"The same as always, please" he said with a soft smile, approaching the counter. Alexis went to the back room, where the flowers that were better kept and more new were placed grabbing gently some chrysanthemums, envolving them carefully in an wrapped paper that was held tightly by a dark blue ribbon, making great contrast with the mustard yellow flowers.

Going back to the main room, he was met with a curious looking wilbur staring at a picture on his counter.

"I-I'm sorry, i recognized you and got curious" he said, laughing a bit akwardly, he was hoping to not have just invaded the smaller's privacy — the picture wasn't necessarily hidden, but it would be hard to a customer to see it. "If you don't mind me asking but, who is this boy? Your brother?

"No" Alex said between a breathy laugh, the way Wilbur would kill just to hear that laugh every day. "It's my son"

Wilbur looked at the smile planted on the merchant's face while seeing the picture, it was something sweet and warm, like a warm spring day. Just that smile was enough to make wilbur's ground disappear.

"S-Son...?" He needed to be sure he heard that right.

"Yeah, he's an awesome boy, even if he is on primary school he always amazes me" So it was true. If Alex alredy had a son this could mean he already had a wife, wich made his purchase of chrysanthemums — that before were just a mention of how eagerly the smaller male seemed to brush of all of the flirting that happened between them — have a way deeper meaning than what he initially intended.

"You and your wife must be really proud of him" Quackity looked at Wil, blinking sometimes, as if trying to process what the man in front of him had just spoken.

"My Ex-husband does think he is a golden child, the man's always calling to talk with the kid" he says, and the face Wilbur makes is just too priceless, he seemed stunned, his eyes glowing with shock and a tad of... hope?

Ex-husband... Ex-husband... Ex-husband... Those words echoed in his mind, that means he still has a chance right?

"I can't understand how someone would divorce such an awesome person like you..." and while Wilbur cited all of the reasons he would stay married with Quackity forever, the smaller man — that was as red as pepper by now — gave the man with glasses his flowers saying rapidly the price.

"It'll be $9,49 pounds" His voice was weaker and his hands trembling, but it was the best he could do at the time; but what would be the end of him was what the man said right after paying. "What do you think about we go drink a coffe in the evening?"

"Are you asking me out on a date?" He said, building up courage, with his hands on his hips and a grin on his face.

"Maybe, do you want it to be Duckling?" The pet name put him out of guard, maybe it was because of his little apron filled with cartoonish duckies that he wore to not dirt his clothes with mud — Alex felt butterflies in his stomach, it was something cute, but completly unexpected.

"I'll see you at three, there's a coffee shop in this street not that far from here" Was all he managed to say, too embarrassed to admit he was going to a date after so long.

"I'll see you there then" was all Wilbur said before leaving the store with a satisfied smile. Maybe life wasn't a bouquet of chrysanthemums after all.

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

I'm still shocked that $63,38 reais is only $9,49 pounds wtf????

Ok hear me out, spicynoddle au.

Sugar daddy Redson and Sugar baby Mk

Redson needed someone to go with him to family events with, and it just so happened this cute delivery boy would do just fine. What Mk gets out of it is money to get him into a really good art school, and also pay for his dwindling supply of art.

But a bit later Mk and Redson are missing the touch of one another, the fake kisses start to become real ones, the fake fluttery love struck eyes Mk does at Red Son became real. Redsons fake smitten look becomes real.

also in this au SWK adopted Mk when he was 3. So he basically lived on Flower Fruit Mountain. And thinks living with a bunch of monkeys is supper normal. He knows their language too without the need of inheriting SWK's powers, though that comes into effect when he's 10 and slowly Wukong imprints him with his powers.

I thought of another au I never knew I needed until I saw it in a video that showed different tags on ao3

Flowershop and tattoo Parlor au

Sun wukong owns a flowershop with his son Mk, and Red Son helps out his adopted uncle Macaque in his tattoo Parlor. Mei comes to the Parlor all the time getting new tattoos and piercings, one day she drags Mk along to one of her appointments, and there the three sit and talk to Red Son as he worked on Mei's tattoo.

At first Red thought nothing of the extra person in his adopted uncles Parlor that was until Mei started to ask Mk about when he's getting his tattoo. Red Son gives Mk his number telling him if he thinks of a design and a place to put it on to text it to him.

Weeks past with nothing from the boy, until one day a demon monkey comes in asking for a percing, and who to come after him but Mk himself. Red Son having nothing else to do goes and chat with the boy as Macaque sets up what he needs to perce Wukongs belly button.

This leads to both sides trying to find ways to talk to one another, Macaque would order flowers to the shop making Mk go and deliver them so he has to talk to Red Son while Red Son ask Macaque to join him to look at said flowers for his ever growing garden of beautiful flowers.

OOOOH how about the Tattoo Shop AU?? 👀

AU POST IN HERE ! 5 HEADCANONS FOR EACH ASK

Ok! I wanted to fuse this two AUs together because I always saw so many things of "the Flowershop person been soft and lovely" and the "downtown Tattoo artist in their tattoo mainstream life with low life things" and I really want to work it but in another way round heh so... (should I do 10 hc due fusing two AUs? nah~)

FLOWER SHOP & TATTOO SHOP AU!

I want to start this AU by mentioning that Jotaro is generally seen as the rude boy without many emotions, kinda rockstar who would generally be put as "the boy from the tattoo shop" but I am going to change that, since Jotaro is more sentimental than we think...

The corner flower shop has been known for decades, everyone knows and knows very well that the flower shop is faithfully owned by the Joestar family. To date it is only heard that the old Joseph Joestar, owner of the large flower shop, manages it together with his daughter Holly. The Flower Shop has been transformed over years into a reserve of species for the community, the large greenhouse that it owns at the end of the place has been well known for being a conservatory for plants, but no one has ever known who actually manages the studies of said plants and flowers.

On the other side of the city going down to the sectors without so much senital light, where there are bars and generally motorcycle shops and their respective parts, there is a well-known and famous Tattoo shop, it could be said that it is a tattoo shop and Bar. run by a man named Salvatore Castiglier and his Wife who wants his three children to continue dad's family business. Francesca is not someone who likes that concentrated, dark environment with a constant cigarette smell... it is where she grew up after all and has a natural talent for tattoos, but sometimes she would like to get out of her comfort zone, get out of that chaos that brings people from lower strata together in her business and meet beyond the city.

Jotaro Kujo is the one who quietly works in the greenhouse of the Joestar flower shop, he doesn't like being with the public very much. he is not someone who likes people in general. for him if he can sit and watch plants and flowers grow it would be an exemplary day. Noriaki Kakyoin is a faithful friend of the family who has been working with the Joestar family for years, he knows Jotaro quite well and respects his decisions not to serve people, it is more, Noriaki is the one that covers his ass when they ask young Jojo questions. Jotaro and Noriaki have been friends for a long time, they have inside jokes and they feel quite comfortable in silence. But Noriaki finds it hard to confess that he comes from a family with a lot of effort, he once lived in those low streets without much senital light, he knows the streets by heart and every secret it hides and just as he knows secrets, he also knows that the reason why he ended up working at the Joestar flower shop. looking for help about his health condition, medicinal plants that could delay his condition of losing the mobility of his legs.

Jean Pierre Polnareff is a man who has never gotten a steady job, and has never been able to have steady jobs either. a young mechanic in charge of fixing motorcycles in the shops adjacent to the underworld, as they like to describe their streets. Recurring in the bar of the Castiglier family who more than ever have exchanged favors... car fixes for tattoos. He knows Francesca as a child and has seen her become a great woman by offering him his arm so that he can practice tattooing him from a young age. some are uglier than others hahah but he doesn't bother, he likes to share with the family although he knows that not everything will be happiness in a long time, Francesca's mother is ill with a strange condition that the doctors have asked for large sums of money that no one else could deliver. Jean Pierre knows someone who can offer more help, an old friend from the industry, Noriaki Kakyoin.

The first meeting was somewhat chaotic, one rainy day Francesca's mother stopped breathing and getting on the motorcycle and believing Polnareff's words they both headed to the other side of the city, to seek help from this young boy named Noriaki. Noriaki, knowing about the matter, came especially to help them by opening the greenhouse and offering part of Jotaro's plantation to help Cesca's mother. It was Jotaro who appeared from the shadows denying the power to remove that plant from the place without his permission. Francesca and Jotaro had the first rivalry where a person's life was at risk of life versus a young man's ambitions over his own creations. Francesca faced him and started running with the plant in her hands being chased by Jotaro. entering the other dark side of the city... where far away watching as Francesca stripped herself of everything to be able to give a direct infusion to her mother. After that fact, Francesca gave back a couple of roots to Jotaro who was lying outside the place meditating on everything he had seen, Francesca thanked him and told him that she saved the roots so that he could continue with his plantations and she would not be a bother anymore but it was Jotaro who asked how often she needed those flowers which made Francesca break right there... he wasn't that bad man she thought he was.

(+1 headcanon) After that the visits were more recurrent; On the part of Jotaro, who was in charge of coming by bicycle sometimes with Noriaki to deliver the medicinal plants to Mother Castiglier and on the other hand she who made small presents as lunches for Francesca to go to deliver them to the flower shop as part of gratitude. Francesca being a great conversationalist by nature asking everything about the greenhouse while Jotaro, a silent being of nature opening up a little more with someone scientifically explaining the treatment of plants. Francesca finding that she has a gift for plants seeing that what Jotaro has helped her plant has undoubtedly grown quite fast as he offered his arm to receive a small tattoo done by her. Noriaki and Jean laugh from afar, they have both known their friends and colleagues for years and it's funny how stupid and cute they can be seen together sharing laughter and complaints at the same time. But not everything is happiness, since through a conversation from another friend of family the Muhammed Abdul to Joseph, the news has come that they have come to claim the flower shop... a lawyer, DIO brando, has come to demand what his family had left him (half) but was never able to claim for his stepbrother Jonathan Joestar.

au where alya owns a small little hole-in-the-wall flowershop and mysterious hero ladybug starts showing up and at first alya is wary and like “is there danger here..?” but ladybug just really loves her flowers and alya decides it’s ok if she hangs out there but she can’t disturb any customers and one day ladybug stops her shop from getting robbed and so they end up having this quiet sort of camaraderie going on. alya keeps bandages around, and ladybug helps tend the flowers.

and at some point alya starts opening up to ladybug about her life and why she owns the shop now and in turn ladybug opens up about her life and how things aren’t actually that great being a superhero and they fall in love up until this point where one day ladybug disappears after a huge battle with the city’s biggest supervillain, shadowmoth, and alya is really worried but ladybug doesn’t come back around

shadowmoth is defeated and his identity is revealed, and alya’s happy for it, but there’s absolutely no news whatsoever on what happens to ladybug (or chat noir for that matter) afterwards, and no matter how deep she digs into her old contacts, she can’t get anything on ladybug at all. 

alya starts to think that she won’t ever see her again, and does her best to keep moving forward in her life

but then this cute, clumsy girl shows up and over and over and she’s like, pretty damn awkward, but alya finds her oddly charming anyways, not to mention familiar, so she entertains her more often than not, even though she’s still worried about ladybug. and maybe she starts to fall for this girl, too, and it all reaches its climax when the girl- marinette, she learns- asks to stay past closing one day

alya isnt sure what to make of it, but she agrees, and marinette leaves, promising she’ll be back that evening

after the shop closing, alya waits. and waits. and waits. just as it passes the two-hour mark, when alya is getting ready to just go home, marinette shows up at the door, knocking and looking nervous.

so alya lets her in and she’s about to ask what’s wrong when marinette kind of steamrolls over any greetings and tells her,

“I’m ladybug!”

and she’s shocked- she wants to accuse marinette of lying, but she knows by now that marinette is one of the most honest people she’s ever met, and she knows it’s definitely not a joke. but she cant even ask or elaborate because marinette keeps talking

“i wanted to tell you- so bad, you have to believe me, but, my partner.... i couldn’t tell you before i told him, and i couldn’t find him because after shadowmoth- gabriel agreste- was arrested, he kind of just disappeared. i didn’t want to dra any attention to myself as ladybug, and i didn’t want to answer any questions about chat when i didn’t know, so i’ve been looking for him all this time and- i found him. and i helped him. and i gave him my identity when i thought he could handle it. he’s doing better now, but, well, i guess what im trying to say here is-”

“you could finally tell me?”

“yeah... yeah, i can finally tell you.” she says something else, and a little red blur flies into her.... earrings? there’s a bright light, and when it fades, alya is looking at ladybug again. “i’m so sor-”

alya cuts her off with a tight hug, squeezing her for all she’s worth.

“i’m just glad you’re alright,” she says, getting a little choked up

ladybug hugs her back, and she can’t help but smile into the crook of her neck

“yeah. me too.”

and then they talk for awhile longer, and alya decides to close the shop for a day when marinette invites her to her apartment so they can really clear the air and recover together and maybe there’s a few kisses shared between them, patient and curious

and everything turns out just fine

bmblb flowershop au

been CRAVING this for weeks so i wrote one on twitter and im gonna do a post here too so i don’t lose it in my 43k tweets in case i ever do anything more with it (’: but here’s my bee flowershop au pls enjoy. it’s set in late spring/early summer

yang, age 18 and freshly out of highschool, gets her driver’s license and immediately asks for a motorcycle. taiyang gives her the keys to the family minivan instead and tells her if she wants a deathmobile, she can get a job and buy it herself

she’s walking down the main shopping street looking for job opportunities when she sees a cute girl putting up a “help wanted” sign outside a flowershop. it’s blake. the cute girl is blake.

it’s a delivery job and she applies immediately and gets it mostly because she’s the only one who applied, but ironically also because the minivan is big enough to hold large bouquets, has a 5star safety rating, and also does not go faster than 35mph so its extremely unlikely that she will be in any accidents lol

blake’s family’s shop is very popular, and they do a lot of weddings and big events. it’s an on-call job and she gets called in maybe once or twice a week. it’s always blake calling her in, and they always have a nice chat before she has to go deliver the flowers

she finds out blake is the owner’s only daughter, so she’s probably off limits so like ok. disappointing but whatever it’s easy money and she gets to talk to a hot girl every time she goes to work so this is fine

but then she starts getting some really weird deliveries...

the first one is to a wrestling tournament at some prep school. it’s for a boy (sun wukong, the delivery slip says) who giggles like a little schoolgirl as soon as he sees her coming with the flowers, and before he’ll sign for the delivery, starts talking to her about sports and her workout routines, etc

he’s a nice guy, they talk for a bit, and she asks if he got the flowers because he won and he says no, it’s the nationals and he made third place. the whole time he’s grinning like it’s some kind of inside joke, so that’s what she figures it is.

when she goes back to the flowershop, she tells blake about it, about how weird it was delivering to a wrestling tourney of all things- and she’s laughing too.

yang mentions looking at the delivery slip and that she’s never heard of the flowers before. this gets blake GOING.

she tells her that they’re ranunculus flowers, more commonly known as buttercups in some other flowershops, and that they symbolize attraction, that you find someone charming.

“huh. guess he has some big fan out there,” yang laughs.

“yeah,” blake smiles softly, “guess so.”

the second time it happens, it’s a delivery to some small town fashion magazine publisher. this time, blake mentions the flowers before yang leaves.

it is a mixture of carnations,lilies, and white orchids, and they all symbolize, to some degree, beauty. yang supposes it’s fitting considering she’s going to a fashion magazine, i guess??? this makes blake laugh a bit. yang thinks her laugh is really very cute.

the flowers are for a velvet scarlatina. yang notices her fidgeting as she drops them off in her office. it’s not a nervous fidget, more like she’s excited but is a bit too shy to say and doesn’t know how to express it, maybe?

so yang asks. velvet’s surprised by the question, but she smiles and tells her anyways. she’s just been promoted to lead photographer, she’ll have an entire photo editing department to lead starting tomorrow, and it’s probably the biggest thing that’s ever happened to her. it’s exciting! she’s excited! yang congratulates her, she’s genuinely happy for this girl. she seems like a hard worker.

as yang turns to leave, velvet stops her, holds up a camera slowly, and softly asks if she can take yang’s picture. to test out her new lens, she adds.

it’s a little weird, but okay; artsy people are always weird, yang’s smokin hot on a normal day, AND she’s having an incredible hair day today, if she does say so herself. so she agrees. before she leaves, velvet hands her a small rabbit’s foot, “for good luck.”

this time, yang tells both blake and ruby/weiss about it. blake seems amused, but doesn’t say much, and ruby immediately demands to see the rabbit’s foot charm.

while ruby is occupied by the charm, weiss asks yang how her new job is going. yang gets stuck talking about blake, how cute she is and how smart she is and how nice she is. her smile and her face and her voice.

at this point even ruby’s tuned back in.

so, they do what any good sister/sister’s weirdly obsessive girlfriend would do. they tag along the next time she gets called in to work.

ruby and weiss immediately drift to a section of shop on their own, distracted. ruby’s picking out a bouquet of roses for weiss (ugh, yang thinks) as yang walks to the counter where blake sits. this time the bouquet is simple, made of only one flower: gardenias.

“it symbolizes purity and love,” blake tells her.

“wow i feel like 90% of these flowers symbolize purity and love,” yang jokes. it makes blake chuckle, so very softly, and yang feels like a hammer has dropped in her chest. love. oh no.

“probably accurate. gardenias though, if you were wishing to send someone your undying love anonymously, you would send them gardenias,” blake muses, eyes drifting over to ruby and weiss making a fuss in the corner. “it’s a symbol for a secret love.”

yang’s head is screaming. oh no.

yang ends up leaving (ditching) ruby and weiss there with blake.

the flowers are being sent to the same prep school as the wrestling tournament, but instead of the gym she’s headed for the locker rooms. there’s a sign for a track meet today, and the flowers are for an ilia amitola, some star on the team, yang guesses, as she walks through the school.

ilia is the only one still in there, and yang senses the hostility immediately.

ilia absolutely GRILLS her, there’s no other way to describe it. she asks her question after question about her tastes, her hobbies, her personal life. it’s a little intimidating, and yang is still sort of distracted from her revelation at the flowershop (oh nO) so she answers them all.

ilia’s quiet for a bit at the end before signing the slip and letting yang go.

“don’t fuck it up,” she says as yang’s leaving the room. what the hell???

when she gets home she immediately storms into ruby’s room.

“i think im in love with her,” she’s freaking out. pacing. weiss is in there too, because of course she is, and they’re both just staring at her blankly.

apparently, it was obvious.

“I don’t know why you’re freaking out,” weiss huffs. “when was the last time you dated a girl? like, actually, with feelings??”

“shut UP weiss you’re not invited to this conversation. ruby, sweet ruby, my wonderful adorable baby sister with a strange addiction to model guns and extremely violent shooting games, how the fuck do i get over the cute flower girl that makes me feel like i want to bash my head against the concrete??”

“uhhh well, for one, i think weiss has great ideas so im re-inviting her into the conversation. (”thank you,” weiss huffs, because she was raised to be polite even while offended) and two, just, like, uhhh don’t???”

they convince yang to confess to blake. but yang’s like ok it’s been a while since ive had actual, swear-to-god, feelings, so she wants to do something ROMANTIC. something BIG. something GAY.

yang’s saved up a nice chunk of cash from her job - and okay, who needs a motorcycle when you could get a girlfriend? and like, okay, blake works at the shop, so she’s not quite sure if flowers are an appropriate idea, but she’s literally always reading books on flower meanings and flower dictionaries and looking at natgeo magazines etc so she watches shia lebeouf’s just do it video and why the hell not

but she has to do it right - and she asks the only flower experts she knows other than blake. blake’s parents. she wants to get their okay as well anyways - she’d quit if she had to - so it’s like two birds one stone. but yang’s been charming them since her interview, and they’re almost strangely enthusiastic about helping set up their only daughter.

she gets weiss to place the order, because ruby can’t stop giggling on the phone. it’s a HUGE bouquet - full of every flower that symbolizes love that mr & mrs belladonna recommended her. it’s almost embarrassing listening to weiss list the flowers and knowing that blake is the one receiving the order.

the bouquet is so huge that yang insists that she needs help carrying it. conveniently, ruby and weiss are busy doing something gay, so they aren’t free to help her. blake raises her eyebrow when her parents send her off with yang to help. yang thinks it’s very attractive.

the address is a meadow right on the outskirts of town. lots of rolling hills, lots of swaying trees, the sky is clear and you can already see the moon even though it isn’t nighttime yet. it’s all very scenic, a perfect wedding venue. it’s late afternoon when they leave the shop.

“preparing for a wedding so late in the day is so strange,” blake comments on the way there, playing with the radio stations like she owns the van. it makes yang’s heart clench. can you die early from too much feeling? how awful. “what eccentric people, to be having their ceremony so late at night.”

“aha... y-yeah, eccentric people for sure,” yang sweats.

they park on the hill, and there’s no one there. blake steps out of the van, confused. she’s looking at the sunset and it’s as picture perfect as she thought it would be, but where is everyone?

and when she turns around, yang is holding the very large bouquet perfectly fine on her own. she almost shoves it into blake’s face.

“they’re for you,” yang blurts out immediately. “i’m the eccentric people.”

blake’s all ??? for a second. and then it sinks in and she’s laughing because, “do you know how much these flowers cost? did you literally spend all your money on a bouquet of flowers for me, a florist’s daughter who is literally around flowers all day?”

turns out blake has also been spending her money on bouquets for all of her friends uncharacteristically often, with their consent of course, just to get the cute new delivery girl into the store more so she could see her and maybe have a chat. they’ve been returning the flowers with small favors of their own - non-consensual blake makes sure to point out - namely, yang’s favorite workout spots, some really cute not-at-all-candid pictures of yang, and what basically amounted to, yup u guessed it, an entire autobiography of yang herself. god.

they kiss as the sun’s last rays are fading, laughing, on a hill almost an hour’s drive away in a rusty old minivan, and over a ridiculously unnecessary amount of flowers. it’s pretty fuckin gay.

[indecisive-dizzy]

Helloooooo :D

I’m making a bunch of ideas for our pookies + my ocs to compensate for the loss of all my notes that had all my ideas for different aus I made 😭

So have some Daisey and Eddie ideas from the High School Angst au (I NEED A NEW NAME FOR THIS AU ISTG IT CANT JUST BE THE HIGH SCHOOL ANGST AU)

They used to dance together often, maybe their parents put them in after school dance classes or something

Daisey stopped dancing after they broke up/stop being friends, and they never really danced until they made up and had a whole moment of dancing again :,3

The first time they hung out one on one after they made up, it was so awkward it hurt

Eddie tried to initiate small talk, Daisey just told him in the nicest way they could to please shut up and watch the movie (they went to the movies)

Daisey’s friends were hesitant about Eddie, but most of them didn’t really care/mind. The only person who really did not like this was Holly, but she got worn down by Wallace and eventually let him hang around

Daisey totally hangs around in the shadows, it always looks like Eddie’s talking to a wall from afar when he’s talking to them

Julie definitely befriends Daisey when she sees them hanging around in the shadows, immediately trying to bring them out and talk. Daisey isn’t that big of a fan, but they tolerate it because she seems to genuinely like them

Idk if FlowerShop happens, but it they do interact sometimes I think

This au doesn’t have a set time period, but I have a lot of 80s and 90s inspiration, so I’m putting it in like the late 80s to early/mid 90s

Also I’m definitely making a Monster High aus for my ocs cause I’m hyperfixating on the dolls and the movies rn

I also don’t know if DearDollops should happen in this au but it’s a possibility since they have the whole “having crushes on each other but not realizing it and believing it was unrequited” arc

Daisey’s crush was a lot more known/apparent (Eddie didn’t know he liked them like that until they were gone), but it was still mutual

They’re both collectively stupid. Like- they’re both very intelligent, but they’re really stupidly oblivious at the same time

Apparently one of Eddie’s favorite songs was Rockin Robin, so Daisey’s favorite song in this au is Everything She Wants by Wham! cause I love that song

Daisey legit just listens to any song ever. It can go to Metallica straight from to Dolly Parton

In the main au, it’s probably either Jolene by Dolly Parton, or Dancing Queen by ABBA

Eddie definitely experiments with his style after he befriends Daisey again, I can see him dyeing a strand of his hair to experiment but washing it out almost immediately cause he’s scared his parents would be mad

Honestly Daisey’s voice headcanon in this au is just Twila from Monster High (G1 specifically, G3 for the main au I think I’m still not sure)

She fits their personality’s aesthetic perfectly like it’s not even funny she’s just them

I’m silently suffering cause I can’t remember some of the au ideas I wrote down so I’m trying to remember so I can note them down in a journal or something

Also I made Lizzy a gf but she needs a name so I’ll make that its own post when I figure that out

Have a good rest of your day/night, Dizzy!

It’s nighttime so I’m gonna sleep soon lmao :D

My brain says they did ballet together! mostly because Eddie doing ballet lives in my brain <3

hhhh yeah I can Feel the awkward. a movie is a good idea tho,, no need to talk!

Ok I read "Daisey totally hangs around in the shadows" and went It's giving Twila ✨ and lost it when I got the bottom lol. G1 Twila my beloved,, g3 Twila my other beloved

Julie let them be dark and mysterious! /lh

*songs the monster high (g1) theme song* Hell Yeah! I love monster high aus

hmm perhaps their can be two versions of the au! one where they get together and another where they stay friends!

When I found out Eddie's fav song I proceeded to listen to it on repeat for At Least an hour. I genuinely love Rockin Robin

Daisey's got good taste! What a variety!

Eddie noo! I would love to see Eddie experiment with hair dye. let his parents be mad I'll defend him

ooh yikes good luck!! hope you can get those ideas written down!

oh girlfriend awesome!! Lizzy deserves a gf hehe

You have a wonder day yourself bestie :D

[kirisaki-daichi-scenarios]

Hi! Friendly reminder that I am, and forever will be, in love with the flowershop au :D Ok, thank you, love u, bye

previous parts: one, two, three // ayo anon so,,, sounds like you’d be interested in more whipped!hanamiya content ;) 

****

“Hey, Makoto,” the flower shop girl says suddenly, trimming bouquet wraps, as the scent of freshly-bloomed flowers dangles along the room, “do you ever think we’re just in someone’s story?”

Ready to laugh, Hanamiya opens his mouth to interject.

She cuts him off. “I know that sounds stupid, but doesn’t it feel, sometimes, like fate, or some greater presence, brought us together? After all, we’re a bit of an unlikely duo.”

The sentiment was cute he has to admit, as is the soft look in her eyes, and her gentle, fantasising tone - a dreamer’s voice. But Hanamiya is Hanamiya. It doesn’t matter how much he cares for her (and it’s not love, it definitely not love, he’s too cool for that), there are always times where one has to call out another’s nonsense.

“I think,” he replies, pausing for the dramatic effect, “you’re full of shit.”

Shaking her head, yet with an amused smile tickling the corners of her lips, the flower shop girl takes on a teasing tone, “I think you’re full of shit.”

“No, you.”

“No, you.”

“Nah, you more than me.”

“No, you for sure.”

“That’s rude - it’s you.”

And then she giggled (seeing the scene from a stranger’s view: two adults seemingly so different with the same childish hearts), and her laugh was a sound Hanamiya had grown to cherish (he wasn’t whipped, he just liked its sound - that wasn’t weird), and so he too thought ‘fuck it’ and began to laugh too.

Klance Flowershop AU pt 3

Ya I straight up forgot I never finished this so

Part 1 Part 2

Keith keeps this schtick going for awhile, making sure he gets to see Lance at least once a week, twice if he’s feeling especially mushy

he places the orders a couple days in advance to make sure he’ll be prepared when lance shows up, always looking his best and probably working on conversation topics like the dork he is

keith comes down with a vicious stomach bug the day of one of these deliveries and calls in sick

but also hes super out of it and doesnt think to cancel the flowers

Lance shows up right on time to deliver the bouquet but his smile falls off when he sees some rando sitting at keiths desk

lance: hey what happened to keith?

rando: he called in sick

lance: oh.... um can you just call Mr, Yorak’s secretary to come get these flowers then?

after some searching, the Rando tells lance there is no Mr. Yorak

lance is confused obviously and rushes back to the shop, recounting the events to allura

allura: so for the past several weeks youve been delivering flowers to someone who doesnt exist?

lance: yeah. craaazy right?

allura: uh huh and keith was always the receptionist at the time? and you left the flowers with him every time?

lance: ya whats your point

allura: lance you oblivious bisexual disaster

after allura explains what Lance had been missing, he searches through the records to see what all the bouquets had been

1. red and pink carnations i miss you

2. a vase of lilacs love

3. red and white chrysanthemums love and honesty

lance looks at the bouquet he was to deliver that day: violets, devotion

yeah so allura is probably on to something

Keith is back to work a couple days later when he hears something thunk onto his desk

he looks up to see lance smiling over a vase of flowers

not just any flowers, a dozen red roses

keith: so who’s the lucky recipient today

lance: these are for one, Mr. Yorak

keith knows for certain he did not order a dozen red roses

gears are audibly turning in keiths head trying to figure it out before lance just gives up and sighs deeply

lance: cmon keith we both know the jig is up

keith, sweating: i have no idea what youre talking about

lance: noooo? so you dont want this beautiful bouquet that i lovingly crafted with my own two hands

keith: now hold on

lance: and you dont want to go out to dinner with me even though i already made the reservations? :(

keith: WAiT,,,,,

lance: and you definitely dont want to be my boyfriend?? :’(

keith: OKAY! ok, yes, yes, and yes now give me my fucking flowers

lance: Cool I’ll see you at 7 then :D

the date goes off without a hitch

aside from lance mercilessly teasing keith about his whole ridiculous version of flirting

lance: you literally could have just asked me out

keith: im GAY and STUPID leave me alone

As you are probably aware of October 31st (Hallowen, Samhein, you decide) is around the corner. So, in order to celebrate the day lord Voldemort officially ruined Harry Potter´s life, made him an accidental horcrux and forever cursed him with the title of the Boy Who Lived, I decided to make a little rec. Here you will find some of the creepiest/darkest completed fics/oneshots I love about this paring, in order get you in a good spooky Halloween mood. Every fic here is finished except two explicitly marked ones. Enjoy :)

October 24th:

Aconitum

Merope Gaunt lived ten years longer, and everything changed. In which Harry Potter is a successful young Auror, trying to keep a crumbling relationship with his wife afloat. He and Ginny argue almost constantly, as they discover that their values do not entirely match up. Enter Tom Riddle: handsome owner of a flower shop on Knockturn Alley, who lends a willing ear to Harry’s woes. This is not as light and fluffy as it sounds. The Ministry is rife with corruption, the Muggleborn Registration is at peak popularity, and Lucius Malfoy is Minister for Magic. Harry is determined to get to the bottom of it- something has gone wrong here. Otherwise known as the flowershop AU that spiraled.

Fingers Crossed

Harry Potter was Draco Malfoy’s soulmate.

October 25th:

Home

“Are you lonely?”

Always the same conversation.

“Maybe. Sometimes.”

“Sometimes I am, too. I think.”

—

Six years after the battle of Hogwarts and the death of the Dark Lord, Harry Potter dreams of a little girl in a forest.

Little Bits

Inspired by Cinderella. Only there’s no prince and surely no one is singing about their feelings and Harry’s life could be a lot worse than having three step-brothers and a father who didn’t liked him. He’s going to be proven right.

October 26th:

The eye of the storm

In the dead of winter, the Dark Lord pays a visit to the precious treasure he has kept under lock and key in a gilded cage.

Kisses Cursed

Fairytale AU. Loosely inspired by Beauty and the Beast.

Some said he was once a man, cursed, and some that he sold his soul to demons and became one in turn. Others said that such evil as he could never have been human. That he was instead a nightmare, left lingering upon the earth a very long time ago. Harry just knew it wasn’t safe to walk near the Riddle House after dark.

October 27th:

Exquisitely

He caught him in the freefall.

Two-shot, HP/LV, DH divergent.

If you are looking for a story to shatter your soul and feed your inner demons (with no small amount of smut), then this is that story.

This is horror.

Beautiful Crime

Harry Potter was always destined to be Voldemort’s Soulmate. No matter who he was then, or now.

October 28th:

Voice in the walls

Something… strange happens after Harry stabs Tom Riddle’s diary in the Chamber of Secrets. A voice whispers to him in the halls of Hogwarts, one only he can hear. He convinces himself it’s a delusion, a hallucination, but as the years roll by it is simply there. Until, of course, Harry is forced to face the owner of that voice.

Counting Bodies Like Sheep

It’s a crazy world torn straight out of a horror movie - the undead roam the earth and destroy everything in their wake. When Harry Potter narrowly escapes a horrible death he finds himself a companion in Tom Riddle - a mysterious, heartless man who doesn’t hesitate to take lives to save his own. Savage as the man is, Harry still finds himself enthralled… He quickly starts developing strange needs and feelings.

When they decide to finally find a safe place to settle down for a while they encounter dangerous enemies on their path. Tom’s past demons come back around to haunt the both of them and it becomes very clear that even after the years they spent together, Harry really doesn’t know Tom at all.

October 29th:

Cardiomophany

[LV/HP] Voldemort has never lied to him before. Why would he start now? Harry reasoned that if Voldemort wasn’t lying and Voldemort really loved him, then it was ok to love him back… Even if it meant the world had to burn. First they broke the world. Then he broke my heart. Slash. Manipulation (kinda). LV/HP. Violence. Char Death. AU from OotP. Non-con het. Draco deserves a warning of his own.

Moments When

Harry Potter- the boy said to have the power to defeat him. The infant stared at Lord Voldemort calmly. Voldemort laughed, remembering moments when they were Tom Riddle and Harry Wilson.

“Come back to haunt me, have you?”

October 30th:

Charity, Thou Art a Lie

A story of obsession, lust, love and a monster who can’t be named.

Harrie learns the word mother at school, her aunt sneers at the word. “She’s dead, you don’t have a mother.”

The Circus of Riddles

Even today, faeries manage to lure unwitting humans into their circles. And the Fey King is perhaps the worst of them all.

October 31st: the only not completed fics, a creepy long classic and a hallowen-ish promising newcomer

Dreams and darkness collide

Major AU! SLASH LV/HP: Though he was raised without the expectation of saving the world, Harry still possesses a savior complex. Only, it’s so dark and twistedly immoral, he created an alter ego to practice vigilantism. His second identity makes a name for himself and immediately ensnares Minister Riddle’s complete and obsessive attention. A game of cat and mouse begins and morals are questioned.

The night film

Harry has the perfect idea for his final film project. What better place to film a horror than the notoriously haunted Riddle Manor? Non-magic AU.

Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace, part 2

A Kastle Flowershop/Tattoo Parlor AU inspired by this wonderful edit by @frank-kastle ​

Read on Ao3 

Frank and Karen get to know each other better and you get to meet my version of one of my favourite character from The Punisher.

Chapter 2 - Primrose

Karen comes back to see him the next day, just before lunchtime, and asks if he wants to go grab a bite to which he replies positively. They go to a nearby dinner and as they wait for their food, they make small conversation which then turn into Karen talking about how the project is coming along and Frank asking how long she's been in New York. After explaining to him that being a florist is quite new to her, they keep on talking about her job. When the food arrives, the waitress founds them talking about New York. They tell each other what they love about it , their neighborhood and their favorite spots in town until they are done with their lunch. How Karen found New-York when she first arrived from her small town in Vermont. How Frank used to be scared of skyscrapers as a kid before going all the way up to the top of the Empire State Building. Or how she had never been on the subway before getting to New-York.

In the end, as they exit the dinner, Karen realizes that she hasn't asked him any questions about the project but, smiling at him when crossing the street, she decides that it doesn't matter. They clearly both had a nice time and she can always asks questions another day if she really needs too. But she already knows that she wants more conversations with that man, no matter the topic.

-------------------------------------------

That same evening, Frank goes to his friend’s Curtis' bar situated around the block from his parlor. The two have met while on tour and have stayed close over the year. Curtis is the one good person that is constant in Frank’s life and they’ve been through everything together. He knows right as he enters and Curtis looks up at him with a smirk, that he’s not going to be able to just sit and listen as he usually does.

“Did you have a nice day? A nice lunch?” Curtis asks as he sits at the bar. Franks looks up at him, keeping a neutral face. Given his tone, he’s pretty sure that Curtis isn’t being just polite but if his friend wants to play it casual and innocent, he can too. “Are you not going to answer?” Frank sighs “Yeah, it was nice.” “Anything special happened?” “Just spill it out, Curt,” laughs Frank, “You’re no good at this.”

His friends shrugs, handing him a beer “Fair enough, although to be said it’s because you’re not giving me much practice.” He ignores Frank’s raised eyebrow as he goes on “I saw you with a nice looking blonde lady at lunch. In the dinner across the street Care to elaborate on who she is?” Frank points at him with his beer as he goes to fetch a glass for a client “You’re too curious for your own good, Curt” Curtis comes back to stand in front of him “So? Who is she?” Frank shrugs “Just the florist from across the street, the one who opened about a little more than a month ago. She’s doing a decorative project with every business in the street and wanted to talk about it with me, for the parlor.” “Yeah? That’s nice. Did she take all the other shop owners out for lunch?” asks Curtis with a smirk. Frank glares at him. “Don’t be stupid, she's nice.”

Curtis leans on the counter with a frown, “So what does that mean Frank? Why would her being nice means nothing could happen? Don't you deserve someone who is nice?” Frank shakes his head “Come on Curtis, it's not that. It’s just...it’s not like that. Don't you have customers you should attend to or something to do anywhere else?” “What you gonna do? Throw me out of my own bar?” Frank laughs, “Eh, I might try.” “Yeah, yeah, ok I see...Listen, I’ll drop the subject. Just...Sometimes it's good to let things happen. Don't be a wallowing asshole, Frank.” the man says as he cleans a glass. “How many times a day do you say that, Curt? Five? Ten? Don't you get tired of it ?” His friend points at the door, grinning. “I'm thinking of renaming my bar like that actually. What do you think?” “Get outta here”, he laughs. “You can’t tell me to just get out of my own bar, Frank.” “Watch me.”

-------------------------------------------

The next day, Karen decides to take a break as the shop is quiet and she suspects that, with the rain pouring down, not many people are going to come buy flowers at lunch time anyway. She crosses the street after hesitating for a while to go visit Frank or not. She decide that their conversations have been friendly enough so far and that there’s nothing forbidding her to go see him.

To her surprise, it’s not him she finds as comes in the parlor. Instead of the tall dark-haired man, a young man stands at the desk. Quickly getting over her surprise, she asks for Frank and the guy tells her that he is out and won’t be back before a few hours. She goes back to her shop wondering who the guy is and thinking that maybe it's for the best if she doesn't see Frank again on a third day after basically forcing him to have lunch with her yesterday. He's probably busy and has other things to do than chat with her about flowers or any other subject.

It doesn’t seem to be the case as he comes by a few hours later wondering if something's wrong and apologizing for not being there when she came in earlier. She waves his apologies off. “There’s nothing to be sorry about Frank. Don’t worry. I was just wondering if the young man I met was your assistant? I didn’t know you had someone working with you.” “Oh yeah, he’s my apprentice, he’s nice. He’s a kid that Curtis worked with in his veteran group and he seemed pretty into what I was doing so I thought I’d give him a chance. He only started last week.” “That’s really good what you’re doing. Giving him an opportunity like that,” declares Karen. Frank shrugs, “Yeah well, you gotta help your own, you know?”. She smiles, nodding.

“But he didn’t tell me what you came for so I was worried it might have been important.”adds Frank. She reassures him with a smile “I was just wondering if...we could have a chat over lunch, but now it’s obviously too late.” He shifts on his feet. “Oh yeah, you probably have questions left about the project?” “Yeah, a bit,” she shrugs – none really, but it didn't stop them from chatting yesterday so they can use that as an excuse as many times as they want as far as she's concerned. “Ah, I’m really sorry I missed you coming at the parlor, I was just out picking up stuffs and...I apologize.” “Stop apologizing, Frank,” she laughs,” It’s okay, really.” He nods, seemingly relieved, and steps up to the counter where she’s working on a package.

“Have you started working on the arrangements yet? For the shop?” She signals for him to pass her the scissors next to his hand on the counter “No, not yet, I’m working on the ones I first went to see. The lingerie one and the bakery.” He hands her the scissors and aks, “Can I see? “ “The arrangement?” He nods at her question. “Are you sure? It's just drawings and samples right now, it's not really interesting.” explains Karen. “Nonsense, it's your work. I just... I just wonder how you do it you know? How you come up with ideas and all that,” he shrugs. “Oh well, if you want, sure! Come in.”

She stands up and walks to her workshop in the back, “I don't think it's much different from how you work, in concept, except that instead of drawing flowers, I use them.” “Yeah,”he mutters, “I bet you don't have anyone asking you for a bouquet in the shape of a pin up fish riding a tricyle”. She stops in her tracks and turns to face him “What?” He laughs at her reaction. “Wait, someone really asked you for a tattoo of that?” He nods, “Oh yeah they had even done the drawing and everything...” “How was it?” she asks biting her lips with a smile and he shakes his head. “Christ, it was awful.” “I'm guessing you said no.” “Course I said no! I'm a respectable tattoo artist, I don't do fish fetishism.” She can’t stop laughing as she pictures the scene and he joins her in her workshop.

-------------------------------------------

Over the following weeks, they get a habit of visiting the other at least once a day, or more, for a coffee. He sometimes bring her a cup if he hasn’t seen her leave her shop in a while, knowing that she doesn’t have a coffee machine. She jokes that he is fueling her addiction to coffee and the next day, he brings her a cup of tea - “I bought a kettle for tea. I can’t drink that warm water, I need something stronger but I figured this would be nice for you to drink sometimes, it’s supposed to be relaxing or something like that. Well, that’s what the lady at the shop says, I don’t drink that shit”-. She laughs and thanks him, touched by the fact that he bought something for her, and included something permanent in his business for her.

[He first thought about buying the kettle and giving it to her, but he selfishly wanted a reason to keep on visiting her.]

Now, he alternates between coffee and tea when he brings her a cup and she has to guess which one it is. Sometimes, she comes into his shop when she doesn’t have customers and they chat for awhile. She looks over at his new designs and he makes sure to tell her some of the ridiculous requests he gets. They go on a few lunch breaks together which means that Frank keeps on being teased by Curtis as they always go to the dinner in front of his bar.

Frank has taken the habit of staying for a while everytime he brings her a cup and if he doesn’t have an appointment, especially at the end of the day. At first, he would leave as soon as the cup was in her hands but she asked him to stay for awhile and so he did. And she asked the second time and he stayed again. She doesn’t have to ask now. This leads to regular quick, or not so quick, chats in her workshop while she works on her orders and flower arrangements.

He just stands there looking at her while she is working, observing her hands and her ability to combine colours and flowers, play with length and size, textures and smells...She can feel his gaze on her and it doesn’t feel awkward or insistent or like a pressure. Well, it is a pressure but a good one, that makes her skin tingles and her inside warm. He asks questions about flowers and designs and the orders she’s receiving but most of the time they just chat about their clients, the movies or books they’ve seen or read. He isn’t allowed to see the design she’s coming up with for his shop and he has a feeling that she’s taking longer for him than for the other - which is definitely true because she wants ait until she’s almost done with the others to truly start and she wants it to be perfect and also a small part of her feels reassured by the fact that if she isn’t done with it yet then it means they have a reason to stay in touch (although it’s been at least two weeks since they’ve dropped the pretense of chatting about her project everytime they meet).

-------------------------------------------

One morning, after coming in very early to finish an order that had just been picked up, Karen leaves her shop to visit Frank. She is used to seeing him across the street every morning when she opens up but she missed him by coming in so early and wants to see how he is, to keep up with their routine. As she closes her door, she notices that the curtains aren’t raised on the main window of the parlor which is odd. Arriving at the door, she finds a sign explaining that the parlor is going to be closed for two days. No reason is given. She goes to leave, disappointed that Frank hasn’t warned her but mostly worried, hoping that nothing bad has happened to him.

As she is about to cross the street, a voice calls her name and, turning around, she recognizes the owner of the bar from the other side of the block. He’s introducing himself as Curtis and explaining that Frank is inside. They saw her outside, he says, and Frank is asking for her. She hurries in the parlor wondering what’s happening if Frank isn’t coming out himself and is struck by what she finds inside.

Frank is sitting on one of the chair with bruises on his face and what looks a lot like a bandage around his chest. She brings a hand to her mouth with a sharp breath. Before she cans say anything, he looks up and she notices a deep cut on his collarbone that seriously looks like it needs stitches.

As soon as he sees the look on her face he goes to stand up, “Do you need anything?” She scoffs, “Do I need anything? Don’t be ridiculous Frank, you’re hurt. Badly.” He stands up fully, “If you need anything I can…” She shuts him up,“I don’t need anything, I just wanted to see you.” “Oh”, he seems startled by that and she notices how Curtis, now standing next to Frank after making him sit down, looks away from them to search for something in his first aid kit.

She takes a few steps closer to stand by him “Jesus, Frank, what happened?” “I, ouch, I got into a fight yesterday with a few guys trying to attack a girl when I was coming back from the boxing club.” “You should have come to me right away instead of waiting for the morning,” sighs Curtis. “The girl called the cops, I had to make a deposition and it was late when I came home. I just wanted to sleep Curt. I took painkillers and put on bandages. I was fine.” Curt sighs looking at the cut on his shoulder, “Fine, he says...This is going to need a few stitches.” “You do what you gotta do, Curt.” “Yeah, yeah I know the song” says his friends as he pulls the thread and needle from the box.

“So what happened exactly?” asks Karen Frank clenches his jaw as Curtis forms the first stitch on his collarbone, “I just saw two guys pulling this girl into an alley and heard her scream, I ran and when I arrived they were pushing her against the wall so I attacked them.” He says it almost nonchalantly as if it was part of his daily routine and as if he wasn’t being stitched up without anesthesia right at the same time. “Attacked them?” “Yeah. They did tried to fight back and one of them had a knife. I got distracted because they had a dog and I didn't want him to get hurt, so the guy got me but I still broke one this fucker’s arm and probably a few of his ribs and the other one just went straight up unconscious after a punch.” “...Jesus, how hard do you punch Frank?” He shrugs, receiving a light punch on the stomach from Curtis to make him stay still, “Hard enough.”

And as weird as the situation is, Karen can’t help but laugh a little. Her laughter is nervous and shaky and apparently Frank can feel that. He looks up at her, who’s now looking over him biting her lips, “Hey, I’m fine. It’s not too bad.” “You’re getting stitches and your ribs are bandaged and your face is covered in bruises. I don’t call that fine, Frank. I call that hurt and beaten up.” He grunts, “I’ve had worse, I’ll get over it. I heal fast.” She takes a step closer and crosses her arms “It’s not a reason!” He frowns “So what? I was supposed to just stay there and do nothing uh? Just walk past them and let her attack her? Would that have been better, uh?” “Frank, don’t be like that,”says Curtis. “Of course not!”, exclaims Karen “Of course you shouldn’t have just walked past it! I’m glad you stopped them and that they got arrested. But...but when you get hurt you need to take care of yourself. If that happens again, you go straight to see Curtis, okay?” He opens his mouth to speak but before he has the chance to say a word, she repeats “Straight to Curtis.” He nods, “Okay.”

“And”, she takes another step further, “If he’s not there, you come to me.” He nods again. “Okay?” she insists. “Okay”, he replies. “Okay”, she repeats softly Curtis looks up at her with a look between bewildered, as if he can’t quite believe that she just gave an order to Frank Castle, and that he said yes, and appreciative.

She lets out a breath and, resisting the urge to run her hand through Frank’s hair, she asks if someone wants coffee. Both Frank and Curtis nod and she hurries to Frank’s office to prepare it. She likes his office, she thinks, as she enters the room. It’s different from the rest of the shop, a bit darker without the big windows at the back and the front of the shop, it’s almost bare and yet it feels very Frank. There is a picture of his family on his desk, a few papers and doodles next to the computer.

She prepares the coffee and heads out with the cups on a plate. She stays until Frank’s stitches are done, sitting next to him, at first in silence before he starts asking her questions as he always does and she entertains him and Curtis with tales of her clients and some of the craziest things she has had to create during her studies. Despite the fact that Frank is getting stitched up and is bruised next to her, it feels so natural and comfortable to sit there in his shop and chat quietly. Curtis is nice and once he leaves, she shifts closer to Frank, helping him close his shirt, trying hard not to stare at his chest too much or keeps her fingers there too long. He thanks her with a smile and she tells him to go back home. He refuses of course, and she has to go back to her shop, worried that he is going to overwork himself.

The Gardening Club {Flowershop! Jaemin}

Pairing: Jaemin X Reader

Genre: Fluff; Flowershop! AU; Bulleted Scenario

Request: “you have a lot of florist!aus and i'm absolutely living because i am going to be a florist when i get older and i adore flowers. since your requests are open i was wondering if you could do a florist! jaemin? only if you have time though! take care love<3” - @naajaaemin

Word Count: 1097

Summary: You figured you wouldn’t ever be anything but Jaemin’s best friend and business partner.

A/N: sorry this took so long I’ve been really busy lately, but I hope you can enjoy this!

ok ok I know this was long overdue

but I am back and better than ever

ok in this one you and jaemin were childhood friends

and you had a common interest in flowers and dreamed of becoming florists

you became friends when both of your parents forced you to join an after school gardening club

your parents just needed you to stay the extra hour after school because they couldn’t pick you up in time because of work

meanwhile, jaemin’s parent’s were florists and wanted their son to take an interest in flowers and gardening

so you’re both in this club and there’s not many kids in it, because how many children are genuinely interested in gardening? 

so there’s you two and a few other kids who showed up once in awhile

but you two came regularly, so you became friends

over time, you learned you really liked flowers

yeah in the club you planted vegetables and stuff but you didn’t really care for them because you were a kid and you hated vegetables

you had the most fun when you planted flowers because they were pretty and smelt nice

and when you learned that flowers had their own meaning too, you were like ten times more intrigued 

so that lead you to wanting to become a florist

jaemin however, didn’t really care for flowers, not until he became older

so as childhood friends, you did whatever childhood friends would do

go on playdates and such

you were just the best of friends

through the years, you stuck by each other’s side

it wasn’t until jaemin was 13 that he wanted to become a florist

just over the years, he became more and more interested because of the influence from you and his parents

so through middle and high school, you two were like “when we’re older we should run a flower shop together”

and flash forward, here you guys were about to open a flower shop with each other

you were glad to be working with your best friend

okay so yeah you were best friends, but sometimes you find yourself thinking about what it would be like if you were something more

you’ve been mistaken as a couple so many times, that it makes you wonder what it would be like if you actually were a couple

but like you shake all feelings off because you’re!! just!! friends!!

and you guys have an unspoken kind of chemistry

you kinda both have feelings for each other but you don’t really know about it 

never in a million years did you think you liked jaemin in that way

one day, someone comes into your flowershop to buy flowers for their sister’s birthday

and they were straight on flirting with jaemin

and it just made you so riled up, you could just feel the anger stirring inside of you

you didn’t know why you were feeling this way, but you didn’t like the thought or sight of someone taking an interest in jaemin

you told one of your friends about this and they’re just like “you obviously like him”

and you shake it off like nahhh, i don’t like him

but when that person comes back, you have an urge to give them orange lilies

which meant hatred

you know that wasn’t like very aggressive or anything but you just did not like them

when they came up to you and asked where jaemin was you just wanted to cut a bish

and so that was the day you discovered that you did have feelings for jaemin

and every day after that one you just couldn’t stop thinking about him 

like how beautiful and precious his smile is

and his VOICE

his passion for flowers

how kind and caring he is

you were so in love with him

and you were so positive that he didn’t feel the same way

one day one of your friends set up a blind date with some guy for you 

so you leave work early to go

jaemin asks where you’re going and when you respond with “on a date” you noticed that he was visibly upset

you figured it was because there was still a lot of work left to do and you were leaving early, meaning he’s have to do it all by himself

so you went out with this guy named mark

and he was cute and charming and all, but he wasn’t jaemin

the next day you come to work and jaemin asks you how your date went

and since you’re best friends, you tell him everything

“he was really cute. really nice. charming, too. but, i don’t know if i like him”

“just give it a little time,” jaemin says

and you’re just like idk i kinda like someone else

and jaemin’s like WHO? WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME I THOUGHT WE WERE BEST FRIENDS and you’re shocked by this and you’re stuttering “because im embarrassed?”

“IM NOT GONNA TELL YOU”

but jaemin keeps trying to get an answer out of you

and you’ve just had enough of his constant pleading so you blurt out “ITS YOU”

and there’s just a moment of silence

“really?” jaemin asks

and you’re so embarrassed, you can’t even talk

so you just nod

jaemin puts his hand under your chin and lifts your face so you’re looking up at him

and HE LEANS IN TO KISS YOU

anD ON THE INSIDE YOU’RE LIKE OMG HE’S KISSING ME you find yourself melting into the kiss

his lips were just so soft and tasted like strawberries

idk why strawberries but they tasted like strawberries

and when he pulls away he confesses that he likes you too

and you both are so smiley and happy 

na jaemin’s beautiful smile

your beautiful smile

a beautiful smiley couple

and he pecks your lips very cutely

the next day he gives you a bouquet of flowers

they were red and yellow roses

yellow roses mean friendship and a promise of a new beginning

and of course red roses mean love

and you were just so grateful you had someone like jaemin

ok dating florist!jaemin?

well i imagine him to smell florally like all the time

he smells goooooooood

if you dont steal his sweatshirts, what are you doing

and since you work together, you just have endless fun as you work

and if someone comes in and flirts with either of you, one of you just steps into the scene like “hey, i’m their significant other”

you just gotta lot of love for each other :’)
