Okay. So I bet you're searching for some fics right now because you're bored, then you're at the right place. So this is a list of my favorite Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers fics. I've read so many fics but I'm going to list the fics which I remember and I recently read. You're probably wondering why I'm doing this it's because FIC WRITERS DON'T GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. YES YOU HEARD ME. They spend so much of their time on this blog to give us such good stories/ contents, they have their personal life but still they write for us. And it is our time to be grateful for them so please if you ever read a fic, please like, reblog and comment. I've been on tumblr for less then a year and I've seen so many fic writers leave this blog. It genuinely hurts me because their loosing their inspiration because not many people recognize their talents. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LIKE, REBLOG AND COMMENT ON THE FICS YOU READ AND LOVE. I know many of you read and don't reblog but please do cause as fan-fic readers it's the least we can do. So on this though I'm going to be listing the fics I've read. I'll see if this gets good response then I'll maybe do more. I'm in no way doing this for myself, it's for all the fic writers to tell them how grateful I am. So if you're reading this please like or reblog this so I'll know people are seeing this. Okay so I've spoken enough let's go:

🅾 This is in a random order🅾

@all1e23 So Allie's fics are the first bucky x reader fics I've ever read on tumblr. Her writing is really good and I would recommend you to read all of her fics. The swallows, astrophile, between the stars are all my favorites. But my most favorite will be heart and soul that's just *NO WORDS*.You can literally binge her entire masterlist.

@invisibleanonymousmonsters I LOVE LOVE LOVE heart of steel. It was so good I had to call my cousin up and tell her this story. Like I'm not going to spoil it for y'all it's just *chef's kiss*. It's a knight!bucky x princess!reader. I'm telling you y'all won't be disappointed. And all of her other fics are good too. Y'all can check out her masterlist, it's definitely my favorite.

@simsadventures JUST READ PANOPTICON. it's an alpha! Steve Rogers x reader. It's sooooo good and she also writes Bucky x reader. She also wrote an alpha!bucky is I'm not wrong. Check out her masterlist too guys.

@hispeculiartreasure I've read only one fic of her's it's called All we've got is time. My god!! I loved that fic so much. It's a 40s Bucky fic. I was so addicted to it. I think it's one of the first 40s au I've read. Y'all should read it.

@allandoflimbo Take it back -pls read this. Don't even get me started. I'm never one to read cheating fics, but let me tell you it's not what I expected TBH. It's a Bucky x reader. That's all I'm going to tell you. I'm already getting chills talking about this fic. She's also writing on wattpad and ao3. She's got another new fic written it's called Ashens( I think). But I'm telling y'all will not regret it.

@speechlessxx I'm obsessed with her fics. I remember a long time back I read cherry chapstick, it's a Chris evans x reader. It was so good and I didn't know who wrote it. it was super good. And then her fics Bring me light. Wowowwo. It's a king! Steve Rogers fic. God I use to literally wait for her to post it. She also has a new fic. You can check out her masterlist, I tell you.

@kayteewritessteve JUST CHECK OUT HER ENTIRE MASTERLIST OKAY. THERE'S NOTHING MUCH TO SAY. IF I START TALKING ABOUT HER FICS I WON'T STOP. Anyways I still will. She mostly writes only Steve Rogers fics. I love literally every story she writes. It's just wowowoow. She has Mob! Steve, King! Steve, Cop! Steve. Just read it okay. No excuses

@whistlingwillows I've just read two of her fics but let me tell you, I was not able to come out of it. I myself have to check her masterlist cause she has SO MANY GOOD FICS. Buried in you're bones and foxglove just made me cry. Like seriously they're that good.

@jaamesbbarnes I love Disney au's so much and god y'all have to read Sirens song. It was so simple yet beautiful. It's a CEO! Bucky fic. And lets just say it was so freaking cute.

@redgillan READ HER ENTIRE MASTERLIST. Like she has so many good fics I get confused sometimes. Right now I'm obsessed with Under pastel skies. It's a Bucky Barnes fic. And it's a sugar daddy au. And it's not what you think 😳😏it's so freaking romantic. Just read it. And check her masterlist too. If I'm not wrong she has so many Steve Rogers fic too.

@papi-chulo-bucky AHAHAHA. I LOVE HERR FICS like TBH it's amazing. That's it. And I love her fic called Haunting ME. It's one of my favorites coz its a POC! reader fic. Like wowowowo. And the plot is so good. Check her out guys.

@floatingpetals Read the Shifter series. It's so cute and the reader is clingy(like me). And I just love it when the readers animal self interacts with Bucky. It's such a good series honestly give it a read.

@brooklyn-boy one word MASTERLIST. Like you can find both Steve and Bucky fics. I think there also a stucky one. I love all of they're stories and you guys it's so good. My favorite one will be a Sea of Strangers

@romanticromanogers Eternal fever is such a good fic. It's a biker gang! Bucky and the reader works as a dancer in a bar. It's so good I can't wait for the next chapter. Please give this fic a try you'll live it I'm sure.

@xetoilerouge LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. yes you read it right it's based on the movie with the same title but it's so much different and even more cuter. It's a Bucky fic. Y'all will not regret it.

@wkemeup I STOPPED THINKING FOR A MINUTE CAUSE I HAD FLASH BACKS OF HER FICS. Like her fics have you going in a rollercoaster and it's like you cannot even expect the plot twist. And her plot is good and her writing is amazing. By any other name and guiding light are my all time favorites. Both had me wandering around my house at night.

@cxptain Last night only I finished reading one of her fics. And honestly it's really good I can't wait to read the rest of her fics in her masterlist. She wrote a mob! Steve fic and god it's freaking cute. And I have to say this it has the ultimate Sam, Bucky and Peter interaction it's so funny. Honestly I died laughing. AND SHE ALSO HAS A DESI FIC!!??! CAN I SEE MY DESI READERS!!! it's a Bucky x desi reader and honestly I read the prolonge and I was so excited. Y'all can definitely read her fics too.

@justreadingfics WAIT I HAVE TO TAKE A MINUTE. *inhales and exhales* OK just read it's a deal. It's a Bucky fic and it's still wip. And not to mention it's soooo HOTTT. And if you ever want to cry your freaking heart and brains out Read looking for a heart beat honestly I cried like a freaking baby and let me tell you I wasn't looking cute. But just I regretted not reading it early. PLSSSS FREAKING READ IT YALL ARE MISSING OUT SO MUCH.

@wintersoldierissucharide LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY CAUSE THERES NOTHING I CAN SAY OTHER THAN FREAKING READ HER STORIES . THE ANGSTTT. I CAN'T EVEN. Her fic The Silence has me silent. And the past always catches up. If you haven't read it..... *pikachu face* just go read it.

🅾 This is not the only fics I've read. I've read so many fics but these are the only fics I remember and I've be reading recently. If this gets a good response I'll maybe do another part🅾

So I'm doing this so that fic writers get all the recognition and love they deserve. I'm not doing this for my own selfish reasons. I'm doing this as a way to thank all the fanfic writers. And Pls DO NOT BE A SILENT READER. LIKE. REBLOG. COMMENT. DO YOU'RE PART. AND ALSO BLACK LIVES MATTER. BLACK LIVES ARE LOVED. BLACK LIVES ARE CHERISHED.

And if you're reading this Pls reblog this too so i will know someone is seeing and reading this. And to ALL THE FANFIC WRITER YOU GUYS ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB. I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. YOU GUYS ARE SO TALENTED AND YOU GUYS HAVE MADE TUMBLR A SAFE PLACE FOR ME.

And how can I forget @searchingforbucky She is one of the reasons I got to find so many amazing fanfics. Pls follow her you will not regret it. Her blog is amazing and you'll find so many new fics.

All flower asks for Cimmerian.

Cimmerian:

O-oh jeez, that’s...a lot of questions, huh? Well, better let’s get to it then.

Alisons: Sexuality?

I’m polysexual.

Amaranth: Pronouns/Gender?

Trans man. He/him pronouns, please.

Amaryllis: Birthday?

December 1st. I’m a winter baby.

Anemone: Favorite flower?

Uhm, sunflowers, probably.

Angelonia: Favorite t.v. show?

If I have to be honest, I don’t really...watch TV all that often. But uh, anything they air on Animal Planet, to be honest. Do you remember that old TV show about the life of meerkats? Fucking loved that shit.

Arum-Lily: What’s the farthest you’d go for a stranger?

That...really depends. I wouldn’t go too far, after all, I don’t know this person, but basic respect and kindness are always a given. I’m not a hero either, I wouldn’t risk my life for them. So, I’d say most of the time, just small favours.

Aster: What’s one of your favorite quotes?

Literally fucking anything that leaves Vincent’s mouth once he gets a little tipsy, this man lacks filter when drunk and it’s fucking great. I know you probably expected some quote with deep meaning, since I have a major in English, but I am very sorry to disappoint.

Aubrieta: Favorite drink?

Pain drink is going to be Whiskey, but anything a little bit fancier then it’s Pina Colada. I like sweet things.

Baby’s Breath: Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?

Yes, absolutely, zero hesitation.

Balsam Fir: Have you ever been in love?

Hm...unfortunately...

Baneberries: Favorite song?

........Two Trucks by Lemon demon. Don’t judge me, it’s a fucking great song.

Basket of Gold: Describe your family.

Hm, well, they were great, really. Very caring and loving...Yeah, this question is making me feel sad.

Beebalm: Do you have a best friend? Who is it?

Uhhh...I’m gonna say it’s either North, Tiff, Han or Bright. I’d say Foster too, but...I don’t know, we kind of had a falling out because of our work. It’s hard to meet up.

Begonia: Favorite color?

...I’ll give you one guess.

Bellflower: Favorite animal?

Toads, love these fat boys.

Bergenia: Are you a morning or night person?

Definitely morning. Not that I like waking up early, but I definitely function better in the mornings.

Black-Eyed Susan: If you could be any animal for a day, what would it be?

A hognose snake, they have very cute noses.

Bloodroots: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A teacher, of all things. Mostly because I thought teachers got free summer too. Then I went to high school, saw what little shits my peers were, and immediately changed my decision.

Bluemink: What are your thoughts on children?

I love kids! I always wanted to be a father. Unfortunately, with being nearly 40 now and swarmed with work...I don’t think that’ll ever happen.

Blazing Stars: What are you afraid of? Is there a reason why?

Cars, because of trauma that I’d rather not get into. And, uh...I have apeirophobia. It’s...stupid, I know, many people would probably like to live on for forever. But for me, it’s just...it’s horrible. I don’t even know why. I guess it has something to do with existential dread.

Borage: Give a random fact about your childhood.

I had a lot of adoptive siblings and cousins, we were always close, and would always get into trouble together. I was raised on a farm with woods nearby, you can imagine I had a lot of opportunities and places where I could get hurt at, and I did. I was a stupid and reckless kid.

Bugleherb: How would you spend your last day on Earth?

Oh man, that’s a loaded question...Honestly? I’d like to reach out to my family, spend my last day with them.

Buttercup: Relationship Status?

Taken~ By two wonderful, cute men.

Camelia: If you could visit anywhere, where would you want to go?

Oh, there’s a lot of places I’d like to explore, probably too many to list. As long as it’s as far away from civilisation as possible, I’m good.

Candytufts: When do you feel most loved?

I like to be held, I love hugs, they make me feel safe and loved. Preferably under a warm blanket with my partner or partners, late in the evening, the rain falling outside and the room is nearly completely dark as we cuddle...

Canna: Do you have any tattoos?

I used to want to, as a teen, but unfortunately no...I did see some people tattoo over their burn scars, and I’ve been thinking about it, but considering how large my scars are it’d cost a lot, be very time consuming and most likely painful. So I don’t know, but I’m considering it.

Canterbury Bells: Do you have any piercings?

Used to have a few as a teenager, now I only have one in my right ear.

California Poppy: Height?

I’m 5′9′’.

Cardinal Flower: Do you believe in ghosts?

In ghosts? No, not really.

Carnation: What are you currently wearing?

I’ll let you guess.

Catnip: Have you ever slept with a nightlight?

Sure did, I still sometimes do when my nightmares get the best of me.

Chives: Who was the last person you hugged?

Jackie.

Chrysanthemum: Who’s the last person you kissed?

Northy, obviously~

Cock’s Comb: Favorite font?

My heart tells me Comic Sans, but my brain’s telling me to shut the fuck up and pick a normal font.

Columbine: Are you tired?

Always, 24/7.

Common Boneset: What are you looking forward to?

Autumn, we’re close to Summer and god damn it didn’t even start but I’m already over it.

Coneflower: Dream job?

I’m pretty content with my current one, but uh...maybe something less stressful? Probably a book author.

Crane’s-Bill: Introvert or extrovert?

Introvert, definitely.

Crown Imperial: What’s the farthest you would go for someone you care about?

Honestly? I’d probably give my life to them. It mostly depends on the person though, and how much I care about them.

Cyclamen: Did you have a favorite stuffed animal as a child? What was it?

I had a ragdoll elephant named Mr Trunk. Still do, actually, he’s one of the few things I took with me when I started working here. He’s now sitting on my bookcase at my apartment.

Daffodil: What’s your zodiac sign?

Sagittarius.

Dahlia: Have you done anything worth remembering?

I don’t think so, no.

Daisy: What do you feel is your greatest accomplishment?

Well...I guess overcoming my trauma counts as an accomplishment?

Daylily: What would you do if your parents didn’t like your partner(s)?

Well, first of all, my biological parents are dead and my adoptive ones think I’m dead. But, if that weren’t the case, I don’t think Ma and Pa are the kind fo people who’d try to get between me and my partners. I feel like if they were legitimately concerned for me or had deep worries about my partner, they’d talk to me about it. So, nothing too dramatic.

Dendrobium: Who is the last person that you said “I love you” to?

...I’d rather not talk about them.

False Goat’s Beard: What is something you are good at?

Does writing shitty slashfics count?

Foxgloves: What’s something you’re bad at?

Do you want a list or something?

Freesia: What are three good things that have happened in the past month?

Well...I started dating Jackie.

Garden Cosmos: How was your day today?

Tiring, so the usual.

Gardenia: Are you happy with where you’re at in your life?

...It could be worse, honestly.

Gladiolus: What is something you hope to do in the next year or two?

...Uh...if my relationship with Karlos and Jack lasts...well...uhm...God, don’t tell them I said that, alright? But...getting married seems...nice...

Glory-of-the-Snow: What are ten things that make you happy/you’re grateful to have in your life?

My friends. They’re great, I don’t know where I’d be without them. Especially Tiff, they do so much for me...don’t tell them I said that, they don’t need any more of an ego boost.

Heliotropium: What helps you calm down when you feel stressed?

A good book, audiobook or ASMR and a scented candle in an otherwise quiet room usually does the trick.

Hellebore: How do you show affection?

Usually through words, I didn’t get that damn doctorate for nothing.

Hoary Stock: What are you proudest of?

My work, I guess? My writing? Wait, no, I just remembered my longest work of fiction is a crackfic about mythological characters- I take that back.

Hollyhock: Describe your ideal day.

Just having an entire day to myself, no need to do any work, no stress, no deadlines.

Hyacinth: What do you like to do in your free time?

I take care of my pets and plants, read books, write.

Hydrangea: How long have you known your best friend? How did you meet them?

Oh man, it’s been a few years now. Uhm, my longest friend in the Foundation is Foster, we met in high school, but like I said we’ve had a bit of a falling out. Then it’s Tiff, I met them when I first joined the Ethics Committee. I met Karlos and Bright a few years later, and I’ve known Han for the least amount of time, but it’s still been years.

Irises: Who can you talk to about (almost) everything?

Uhm...Hm...Probably Tiff or Karlos. Han too, he’s a good listener.

Laceleaf: How many friends do you have?

A few. On top of the previously mentioned ones I’m also quite close to Clef, Kondraki and Light.

Lantanas: What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?

Literally, any kind of compliment either of the O5-1′s or O5-11 gave me. Do you have any god damn idea how fucking hard it is to impress the Ones? And Ten...well, he’s just really nice and I appreciate him.

Larkspur: What do you think of yourself?

Anyway, next question!

Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

I have great fucking puns and if anybody says otherwise, they’re fucking wrong.

Leather Flower: What’s your least favorite thing about yourself?

Do you want a list?

Lilac: What’s something you liked to do as a child?

Exploring, I guess it never really changed, I like spending time in nature, I just never have the time to.

Lily: Who was your best friend when you were a kid?

........Probably one of my siblings.

Lily of the Incas: What is something you still feel guilty for?

A lot, but let’s not talk about that.

Lily of the Nile: What is something you feel guilty for that you shouldn’t feel guilty about?

Jesus Christ, what’s with these questions?

Lupine: What does your name mean? Why is that your name?

I had to look it up, and apparently, Jeremiah means “Yahweh will exalt”. I had no idea my name actually had a religious meaning. When I was born I was named after my grandma, and when I was changing my name I decided to kind of keep with the theme and named myself after my grandpa. He doesn’t know, actually, I never came out to them, but I like to think he’d be happy that I named myself after him

Marigold: Where did you grow up? Tell us about it.

Like I said before, in a small rural town on a small farm. Not much to talk about, really, I was a typical kid that grew up on the farm. Always got in trouble and always hurt myself doing stupid shit.

Morning Glory: What was your bedroom like growing up?

I was quite a tomboy and I loved cows, so just imagine a room with walls painted to resemble a pasture with cows on it and cow-themed furniture. Handmade too, by my grandpa and Pa, of course.

Mugworts: What was it like for you as a teenager? Did you enjoy your teenage years?

I uh...I’d rather not talk about it.

Norwegian Angelica: Tell us about your mom.

Ma was a great woman, she always cared for me and my siblings, she treated me like her own kid straight away. Didn’t even batted an eye. Never made me feel weird or wrong for liking “boy things” like other adults outside of our family. She was quite fiercely protective of me too, quite a mama bear, I must say. A strong woman, could probably suplex a bear.

Onions: Tell about your dad.

Pa was...well, Pa was just wonderful. He didn’t even hesitate for a second to take me in when his sis and my biological mother died. He was the first person I saw when I woke up at the hospital. He always made sure I was happy and taken care of. He taught me how to hunt and fight and play soccer and football. He was always very loudly supportive of me. I cannot express enough just how much I’m grateful to him and Ma.

Orchid: Tell about your grandparents.

They were very kind, your traditional old couple. I loved granny, but I was always closer to my grandpa. He taught me how to fish, I could always confide in him. He’s a great guy. Granny was wonderful too, I remember I always helped her out in her garden, she’d always scare me with potato bastards- I mean potato beetles, sorry, old habit- I fucking hate these motherfuckers. I love all animals, except for these ones. Potato bastards can suck a dick.

Pansy: What was your most memorable birthday? What made it be so memorable?

[Heavy sigh] My 4th birthday, my older brothers decided it’d be a fun idea to pick every potato beetle they could find from granny’s garden and throw them at me as a “birthday present”...........You know, I think I just realised why I hate these beetles so much.

Peony: What was your first job?

My first official job was in the Foundation, they hired me right when I finished college to help contain one anomaly, then I just stuck around and worked in Human Resources. I don’t think working small chores in our neighbours’ farms for some pocket change counted as a job.

I met North when he started working as a junior researcher in the same Site as me. Bright, I knew for longer for uh...obvious reasons, but I first met him in person during a disciplinary meeting. I also worked as an Ethics Committee Liaison in Site-19. You can imagine our relationship wasn’t the best at first.

Pincushion: How do you deal with pain?

Die.

Pink: Where is home?

Well, that sure is a deep fucking question. At this point...I don’t know, honestly.

Plantain Lilies: If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would stop/change?

...It’s...let’s not talk about that.

Prairie Gentian: Who is someone you look up to? Describe them.

No way in hell I’m telling you, he could read this blog.

Primrose: Describe your ideal life.

Living in a cottage in the forest or mountains as a fairly famous writer, with a spouse and a few kids.

Rhodendron: What is something you used to believe in as a child?

Soulmates. Then I grew a brain.

Ricinus: Who’s the most important in your life?

...So anyways.

Rose: What’s your favorite sound?

Uh, so you know how I listen to ASMR? Probably tapping.

Rosemallows: What’s your favorite memory?

Any kind of holiday with my family, we’d always get together and celebrate.

Sage: What’s your least favorite memory?

Let’s not talk about that!

Snapdragon: At this moment, what do you want?

...Hm...Well, I am kind of hungry, I guess after this I should go eat something.

St. John’s Wort: Is it easy or difficult for you to express how you feel about things?

I think I’m kind of...intermediate on that scale. Generally, it’s easy for me unless it’s something very personal.

Sunflower: What is something you don’t want to imagine life without?

...yeah, another question I’m skipping.

Sweet Pea: How much sleep did you get last night?

Not a lot, I’m quite tired today.

Tickseed: What’s your main reason to get up every morning?

Work, I guess? Mostly just routine.

Touch-Me-Not: How do you feel about your current job?

Fucking stressful and exhausting, but it could be worse. That’s talking about my chairman position. But my work on Project X? I like it, one of the more pleasant jobs I had at the Foundation.

Transvaal Daisy: What’s your favorite item of clothing?

...Yeah, just take a guess.

Tropical White Morning Glory: Describe your aesthetic.

Cozy, dark and gold.

Tulip: What would be the best present to get you?

...That’s a bit personal, actually.

Vervain: What’s stressing you out most right now?

The sheer amount of these questions, Jesus fucking Christ.

Wisteria: How many books have you read in the past few months? What were they called?

Unfortunately, I don’t have time for books lately, I did listen to a few audiobooks though. Also, I’m planning to revisit the Warrior Cats books because nostalgia and I need to know what the fuck is happening with these cats lately.

Wolf’s Bane: Where do you want to be in life this time next year?

Hopefully not dead.

Zinnia: Give a random fact about yourself.

Uhhh...hm...I’m petty, but you probably knew that already.

Hello gorgeous Dready! Lilac and foxglove for the Botanical asks 🌼🌻

Hi lovely!!

lilac: if you could go back in time which time period would you visit?

I think the 60s/70s cause my style is a lot based on those years. Also the music I listen to is mainly stuff from those decades. The music was just good back then, and I would love to see some of my favourite bands live during their best years and wear my bellbottoms freely🌻🌻 otherwise ancient Greece for obvious reasons

foxglove: who is your favorite cartoon character?

This one is hard lol. I usually don't have a strictly favourite thing, but I guess I have a few i can name. I know I'm fairly young and probably the stuff I watched as a child isn't the same as you 😅 and my childhood was rather particular so I didn't watch a lot of stuff, BUT, that doesn't mean I don't have a handful of characters on the list.

I'll start with a classic: Bugs Bunny, I just love him he's so chill and smart and reminds me a bit of myself in certain situations 🙈 Then, I guess it's Snufkin from Moomin. He's got good vibes and I always liked him because he's weird and philosophical and out of the norm. I LOVE Shrek, for obvious reasons, and as a child I was obsessed with Diego from Ice Age, I don't know why though. I also had an obsession for Spirit the horse🙈 I actually love this question because it's making me realise just now why I connected with certain characters rather than others❤️❤️ I'm sure I have a lot more but I can't remember right now!

Thanks for the amazing ask Kel❤️😘

Send me botanical asks and I'll answer

HELLO YES I LOVE THESE ADORABLE PROMPTS PLZ GIMME FLUFF. 8 with Fred!!! I dunno who's first job it is but!! Whoever you think would fit!!!

[Send me numbers and make me write fluff!]

QUILL!! HELLO!! I would love to write some Fred fluff for you!

And guess what? This one is canon! And it echoes the first scene of the story! Weee!

(Now I wanna write a Mel and Fred one, because holy crap their interactions would be pure gold.)

(Oh no, this got long. Like, way longer than I expected. Gotta make room for all those feels, I guess.)

8. It’s A’s first day of work and they’re nervous, but never to fear, B is here

A: Gemma | B: Fred

It’s normal to be concerned about her, especially when she’s the only kid in town who appreciates his blog. That’s the excuse he gave Mary, anyway. Otherwise she would have told him to stay home and not bother the poor girl until tomorrow. Gemma would be stressed enough as is, what with it being her first day on the job. And at fifteen, no less.

Fred assumed that being an apothecary was complicated. If he had a very complicated job like that, he would want someone to check in on him to make sure he was okay.

So he knocked on Gemma’s door and hoped she wouldn’t mind him stopping by.

The door swung open and there she stood, bright smile painted on her face and eyes strained with a little bit of fear.

Her whole expression slipped into mild confusion when she saw Fred standing there. “Oh! Hi Mr. Coriander. I wasn’t expecting you.”

Fred blinked. Wasn’t she the doctor? If she was open, she should at least expect people to show up, right? Ah, well, must be the nerves. Sometimes they get the words all jumbled in your head.

“Just stopping by to check in on ‘ya, Miss Gemma.”

“Aw, you didn’t have to do that,” she said, and shuffled back, gesturing for him to come in.

“‘Course I did. Got to make sure our doc is tip-top.”

Inside, the air was warm and smelled like peppermint. A fire crackled in the living room hearth. In the middle of the room, the couch was draped in long loose-knit blankets, all cozy autumn colors. A collection of bottles, jars, and test tubes covered the kitchen counter.

She was prepared, all right. Maybe a little too prepared.

“Hah, right,” Gemma said, voice strained and thin. After shutting the door, she flit over to the counter and started adjusting the bottles and bits and bobs of her craft, moving this one an inch to the left, swapping that one with the one over there, turning labels to face outward and lining up pipettes to the tips were all even.

“You okay there, kiddo?”

“Me? Oh, yeah, definitely. Very okay. Right as rain, you know.”

“You seem a but nervous.”

Gemma turned and made a face. Fred wasn’t sure what kind, exactly, but it didn’t look very comfortable.

“Nervous? Nah. Not at all. Look how prepared I am! I can’t be nervous when I have everything I need right here.”

Fred wasn’t buying it. And that was saying something. He once gave his e-mail address to one of those clipboard people outside the grocery store. He was still getting spam years later. Maybe Gemma could help him set up one of those filter things later.

But back to the point.

Fred sighed and adjusted the collar on his polo shirt. Gemma’s eyes went straight to his forearm.

“Hold on, what’s that?” She stepped closer and leaned in to examine the angry red flush of his skin.

“What’s what?” He turned his arm and scrunched his eyebrows. “Oh. Just something I noticed this morning after my walk by the lake.”

Gemma looked up at him, none too amused.

“And you didn’t think to tell me about this?” she asked, pointing at the rash.

“I was just coming by to wish you luck.” Fred rubbed the back of his neck and ogled his shoes. He always forgot about things like this, ones that might be important if only he could remember ‘em.

“Have a seat, Mr. Coriander.”

“But I-”

“No buts,” she said. “Sit.”

As Fred made himself comfortable on the couch, Gemma slipped on a pair of green non-latex gloves and rifled through her special pantry behind the kitchen. She came back out holding a small jar with a duct-tape and sharpie label.

She smiled and tapped the top. “Witch hazel,” she said with a smile. “Excellent for stuff like this itchy mess.”

“Who’re you callin’ a mess?” Fred asked, his smile quirked with teasing.

Unscrewing the cap, Gemma sat down on the coffee table and playfully nudged his shin with her foot. “No one, mess-ioeur.”

She probably got that sass from Jill. They’d been spending more time together lately. It was good for them, but the detriment of everyone else in town. Trouble makers, the both of ‘em.

Gemma dabbed her fingers in the ointment and held Fred’s arm with her other hand. With careful sweeps, she began to rub the ointment onto the rash.

The itch started to fade as soon as she touched him.

“This stuff works like magic, kiddo.”

“I know, right? It’s one of mom’s old recipes. Most of the basic stuff is. You should see what I can do with some foxglove extract. It’d blow your mind.”

Smiling seemed to come easier to her now. There was none of that strained business happening like before. She was in her element, doing what she loved best.

“Now where did you run into poison ivy? By the lake?”

Fred sighed. “I knew I shouldn’t have gone off the path, but there was this cluster of mushrooms just a few yards off or so. I only wanted to take a peek at ‘em. Didn’t notice the itchin’ until I got home.”

“You could’ve called me, you know. Or told me when you got here.”

“Naw,” Fred said, flapping his free hand. “Didn’t wanna bother you.”

“Mr. Coriander, it’s literally my job to do this. And you’re never a bother.”

“Thanks, kiddo.”

It doesn’t take long for her to finish up. She wraps his arm in soft bandages and pats the end so it sticks to itself. “So you don’t scratch,” she said with a gentle smile.

Fred returns it and pats her shoulder. “Thank you.”

Taking a deep breath, Gemma looks up at Fred, suddenly sheepish.

“I was sort of losing it earlier, huh?”

Fred takes her hand in his and pats it. “We all do, sometimes. But you’ve got this.” He looks pointedly at his wrapped arm. “There’s your proof.”

She pulls her hand away and wraps him in a hug, mindful of his arm. “Thank you, Mr. Coriander.”

Fred holds her tight for a moment, then lets go. “I won’t keep you any longer. Far be it from me to get in the way of a doctor and her patients.”

“If you insist,” she said and walked him to the door.

Fred stopped at the edge of the porch and turned back to Gemma, who was still watching him go from the door. “Now do as Mary would say and make yourself some tea to calm those wayward jitters.”

She laughed and leaned against the door, brushing her curls out of her face. “Will do.”

They waved, and he turned down the road toward home.

Through the window, he saw Gemma take a deep breath and put the kettle on, lips pursed as though she were humming her favorite song.

Nothing to worry about with that one.

She was a good kid.

Oh no, it’s too cute. I can’t with Fred. The hapless goof is too good-hearted.

Sometimes you need a reminder that you can do what you’re afraid of. That you’re strong enough to deal with what shakes you.

Arum-Lily: What’s the farthest you’d go for a stranger? - It really depends on the situation. I would give away clothing, risk my life, give them shelter in my home, allow them to borrow my phone, but them lunch... I’d do a lot for anyone. Even though I have trust issues.

Bluemink: What are your thoughts on children? - I love them, I’d probably adopt older children because they need it the most, but I love children so much.

Blazing Stars: What are you afraid of? Is there a reason why? - I answered this earlier, “I am afraid of spiders. Because they have so many legs and so many eyes and THEY DON’T FUCKING NEED ALL OF THEM LIKE WTF?!?!?!?!?!”

TJ: He was a friend of my best friend’s friend. Started hanging out in 7th grade, been like brothers ever since.

Larkspur: What do you think of yourself? - What an utter piece of garbage.

Lavender: What’s your favorite thing about yourself? - My eyebrows? Idk they look cool, especially when I do them. One’s got a slit.

Leather Flower: What’s your least favorite thing about yourself? - All of it.

Lilac: What is something you liked to do as a child? - Sleep. When I could.

Lily: Who was your best friend when you were a kid? - It changed at least once every year. Paige, Sheyenne, Peyton, Chloe, the list goes on.

Lily of the Incas: What is something you still feel guilty of? - I followed everyone in kinda making fun of this kid who was a trans girl. I felt so guilty about it then, and I feel so guilty about it now. I hope she is living her best life now, and if she’s reading this I want her to know I am so so sorry. And I have felt it too, I have been made fun of for my gender identification. I am so sorry.

Lily of the Nile: What is something you feel guilty for that you shouldn’t feel guilty about? - Idk. There’s one thing I’m sworn not to tell about but the person who asked me this knows, so it doesn’t matter.

Lupine: What does your name mean? Why is that your name? - My deadname? Means “grace of god”, because my family is very Christian. My chosen name? Means “Defender of men; protector of mankind.” Which is honestly just so badass. I chose it because I liked it and it was genderneutral.

Marigold: Where did you grow up? Tell us about it. - Fort Collins, Colorado babyyyyyyyyy. It was nice and peaceful and small and I loved it.

Morning Glory: What was your bedroom like growing up? - Small. Always a disaster. Sadly shared with my brother.

Mugworts: What was it like for you as a teenager? Did you enjoy your teenage years? - So far? Sucky as fuck. I hate it. I love my friends, but other than that I hate it. I’m only like halfway through them anyway. It’s been spent trying to prove to my parents that I am just as good as my brother, who I happened to raise.

Norwegian Angelica: Tell us about your mom. - Awesome. Sweet and kind, short, with red hair, hazel eyes, and freckles. She’s caring, and she was raised in a Christian house but she’s trying so hard to be accepting, to fight against her religion for her child and I love that so much. I love her so much.

Onions: Tell about your dad. - Kinda annoying. Plays video games all day and makes my brother and I do everything around the house. He tries to be nice and stuff but it really doesn’t work that well. He basically says he “doesn’t care” about the whole sexuality thing and gender thing and then he says stuff like “you can’t really know til your hormones have settled” and “Your name is your name until you can legally change it.” It’s stupid.

Orchid: Tell about your grandparents. - Which ones? I have multiple. I have 4 grandmas and 4 grandpas. Tho I suppose they’re all pretty similar. Very Christian, yet pretty accepting. They love me to death. I have one super transphobic grandpa, but basically all of them helped me raise my brother when I was little and my dad was asleep from working nights and my mom was at work all day. I owe them a lot. And I love them so much.

Pansy: What was your most memorable birthday? What made it so memorable? - My 12th. My best friend Val was there and so was my friend Tei and that was it, and they basically got along too well and I was really left out of things at my own birthday party. It was annoying. It was the first time I ever felt true jealousy, and that’s why I remember it so well. I haven’t liked a birthday since because it reminds me of that. I used to like it because it was a day when my parents actually payed attention to me and were off, but now everyone makes too big of a deal of it and I just wish it didn’t exist.

Petunia: If you’re in a relationship, how did you meet your partner(s)? If you’re not in a relationship, how did you meet your crush/how do you hope to meet your future partner(s), if you want any? - SAGA club, he founded it a couple years ago. He’s super kind to me and he does so much for me, god I don’t deserve him. He bought me a binder. And he’s my best friend. I love him so much.

Pincushion: How do you deal with pain? - Healthily? Getting hugs and cuddles from my better friends. I can’t really do much of that lately though. *cries in a corner*

Pink: Where is home? - With the family and friends I’ve found.

Plantain Lilies: If you could go back in time, what is one thing you would stop/change? - Wow. Hard choice. I’d either kill Hitler as a baby, or prevent my own conception.

Prarie Gentian: Who is someone you look up to? Describe them. - Sid if you’re reading this I am so sorry, and I’m so sorry for mentioning you so much. But I look up to him, because he is one of the best people I know. I love him so much. He’s sweet and just sadncaspdnnhciodsifcnsjxsojcm.

Primrose: Describe your ideal life. - Idc what’s going on in it, as long as it’s with my found family and friends. I’d like my depression, anxiety, and ADHD to disappear though, ideally.

Foxglove

What’s your favorite cartoon character?

I mean, where do you want me to start, I’ve kind of got a list that’s been going from the first time my parents put me in front of a TV with an animation on the screen. Guess if I really had to sit down and choose, I’d probably go with the Genie from Aladdin (his animation is top-notch, the voice acting [in the first and third movie more so than the second and tv series, though gotta give it to Dan Castenella, he was trying, and had one heck of an act to follow] is stellar, and could empathize with him a lot growing up which cemented him as a long-time favorite in my mind. For some honorable mentions, I’ve also got Rex from We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story, Mushu from Mulan, Dragon from Jane and the Dragon, Heart from You are Umasou, Scooby Doo (primarily his Where Are You version, though A Pup Named Scooby Doo is definitely very near and dear to my heart), Balto from, well, Balto, Shiron from Legendz, Bugs Bunny from Looney Toons, Mewtwo, Lugia, and Charizard from Pokemon, pretty much all of the brothers from The Adventures of T-Rex, Aisling from The Secret of Kells, Guilmon and Takato from Digimon, Grimlock from Transformers (I’ve had a particular liking for the version of him in the Robots In Disguise show that came out back in 2015), Ghost Buggy from the Filmation Ghostbusters cartoon, and Charlie from All Dogs Go to Heaven.

Yeah, kind of went a little crazy with that one, and gonna stop before I end up listing half my viewing history.

The Language of Flowers, Chapter 5 (Multi) - Albatross

AN: Alright the first finale is here, featuring Shinkx! I am glad that I am so close to finishing up this story; it was originally meant to be a one or two-parter almost exclusively focused on Trixya but well…you can see how that ended up.

Here are the flowers and their meanings that don’t get an explanation in the text: red dahlia - dishonesty, asphodel - regrets, columbine - deceived lovers and faithlessness, aster - symbol of love and trust, rain lilies - ‘i love you too’, chrysanthemums - precious one, rue - regret and repentance, daffodils/jonquil (they’re basically the same thing) - unrequited love/'please return my feelings’, foxglove - insecurity/unsure, ambrosia - 'your affections are returned.’

“I want it to say 'fuck you.’”

Well, there was no chance Jinkx had misheard what this woman had said and if the smeared makeup was anything to judge by; she certainly meant the sentiment. All the same, the request had left Jinkx shell-shocked where she stood. Somewhere in the back of her mind, a few flowers that would fit the description began to pop up; red dahlias and asphodel for starters, but she couldn’t bring herself to continue with this customer’s request. There was never a call to make a bouquet like this before and now that the opportunity presented itself, Jinkx wasn’t sure if she could fulfill the order. What could have possibly enraged this woman enough to ask for this?

Swallowing down her fear, knowing full well she was overstepping her boundaries, she asked timidly, “What made you want-Why us?”

Fighting back a fresh slew of tears, the woman spat out, “For the last three months someone has been giving me flowers from here and now I’m going to return the favor! I’m going to tell her exactly what I think of her!”

Three months? Jinkx wondered who could have possibly ordered so many bouquets in such a short time frame. No one has been a repeat customer that often except…Oh, no.

Katya!

Then this must be Trixie! She certainly matched Katya’s description now that Jinkx had a chance to really look at her; problem print top, hair teased up to the heavens and of course the make up that did look rather like she applied it with a trowel. It wasn’t hard to see where Katya had come up with that detested nickname of 'Barbie.’

But Trixie had loved all of the other bouquets! What had hap-The last one she ordered!

Jinkx hadn’t been the one to make it but Ivy had! What did she use?

Jinkx had sinking feeling she knew exactly what had gone so wrong but she needed to confirm it with Ivy. Very politely she excused herself to the back of the shop under the pretext of needing to check if they had the correct flowers in stock. For her part the woman she assumed to be Trixie was very patient, even as she was practically fuming at whatever arrangement Katya had unknowingly given her.

Almost sprinting past the door frame, Jinkx found Ivy taking a breather at the table. Knowing she must look half crazed as she rushed over, she frantically asked her, “That bouquet you made for Katya earlier-What was in it?”

Startled, Ivy replied haltingly as she tried to recall everything, “Um…Aster, toadflax…a bit of baby’s breath as filler…”

'No, none of those were wrong,’ Jinkx thought anxiously as Ivy continued to count off the remaining flowers on her fingers.

“Oh, I stuck in a few roses and carnations on the-

"What colors?” Jinkx interrupted abruptly.

“Yellow!” Ivy supplied with a smile. “They’re Trixie’s favorite color. They mean love…Don’t they?”

Ivy’s face fell as she started to realize that perhaps she might have made a mistake. Letting out a heavy sigh, Jinkx informed her, “The red ones do…or even white carnations in a pinch.”

Horrified at where the conversation was heading, Ivy asked shakily, “Then what does yellow mean?”

Forcing down a thick swallow, Jinkx admitted very reluctantly, “Disappointment…rejection…betrayal.”

Ivy was almost in tears as she heard the meanings and immediately began apologizing for messing things up so badly but Jinkx couldn’t let her take all of the blame. She knew Ivy was just following her cheat sheet at the work benches and no where on there had she listed all of the colors and symbolism for each flower, only the more common and generally more positive meanings. The inserts however…those were a bit more descriptive. This was all just one stupid mistake that could have been avoided if Jinkx had stopped herself earlier.

Feeling almost of the verge of tears herself, she confessed, “I think that’s Trixie out there…she’s pretty upset.”

“Oh my god,” Ivy exclaimed, “I’ll go talk to her! Apologize and expla-”

The clatter of a mug being set down on the counter cut her off and feeling like a weight had just dropped in her stomach, Jinkx turned her head towards the coffee maker to find Sharon staring meaningfully at the pair. There was no doubt she had overheard everything and she was far from happy.

“Sharon, I-” Jinkx began guiltily.

“I’ll talk to her,” the older blonde interjected firmly as she marched towards the shop front.

The remaining assistants shared a look and meekly poked their heads through the doorway. They were too far to hear what Sharon was saying but she put forth a sincerely apologetic face as she talked with Trixie. It was easy to see that whatever she said had not pleased Trixie in the least but she seemed accepting of the information, albeit very reluctantly. After a good five minutes of the pair speaking back and forth, the young blonde left the shop without another word and certainly no bouquet.

Jinkx was silently marveling at how Sharon managed to calm down the distraught young woman so easily but that thought quickly disappeared as Sharon turned towards the voyeuristic pair and stormed right back into the break room. She felt almost as intimidated by her boss as when she first started working there. Her hands played with the hem of her apron as she kept a very apologetic and remorseful face while she awaited Sharon’s arrival. Never before could she recall feeling so small and useless as she had in these last ten minutes.

Once Sharon was staring down the assistants again, Jinkx took the opportunity to ask hesitantly, “What did you say to her?”

“The truth; we don’t have any columbine at the moment but we’re expecting a new shipment of flowers for the arrangement course,” Sharon replied calmly.

Immensely confused, Jinkx asked, “You have an arrangement course?”

“I don’t, but you do…Saturday night,” Sharon declared unkindly. There was a little twitch in the corner of her lips as she added in sarcastically, “Hope you don’t have any plans.”

“What?!?” Jinkx exclaimed unhappily.

Undisturbed, the older blonde informed her, “Better get planning now…she’s going to be joining so she can make her own bouquet tailored just for Katya.”

Still unable to fully processed the information, she stammered, “But-how-”

“Ivy will help you…” her boss asserted firmly with a stony glance to the older assistant. Ivy looked startled that she would be included in this but at the arch of Sharon’s eyebrow challenging her to try and disagree, she quickly gave an eager and agreeable nod of her head. With a slight sneer in her voice, Sharon continued on to include, “And I imagine Courtney will also want a hand in this…she has for everything else.”

Grabbing her mug from the counter, Sharon planted herself at the table and dismissed her assistants to the front of the shop to begin planning what they’ll need. Before the redhead had a chance to disappear past the door frame, she called out, “And you might want to invite some other people too! It’ll look a little suspicious if there’s only two attendees!”

Oh, god this was going to be a mess.

***********

Jinkx had wasted little time in texting Courtney everything that had happened. There was no response for the longest time but later that night, Courtney was able to call her after Katya had finally fallen asleep. Jinkx felt her heart breaking inside as Courtney recounted the scene she had walked in on as soon as she arrived back at her apartment. Katya was in shambles, too shocked to even cry at how badly the last bouquet had been received and how much she had unintentionally hurt Trixie. It felt like adding salt to the wound as Jinkx informed her of how the mistake had came about; she tried her best to deflect the blame from Ivy but she got the feeling that Courtney was more upset with herself for encouraging Katya to use the bouquets to begin with.

As Jinkx explained the plan Sharon had roped all of them into, she heard a bit of relief in Courtney’s voice. She assured the redhead that she would find a few other people to attend the impromptu seminar and of course would make sure Katya would be there as well. While she added in the last part, Jinkx got the feeling it was likely to be easier said than done but she had faith Courtney would fulfill her end of the agreement.

To her credit, Violet was able to get a hold of a shipment of flowers and have them delivered in record time. Admittedly she wasn’t sure how much to order and perhaps went a little overboard with her estimate. Well, they could always use the rest for other orders but at least there was no lack of supplies for the class. The rest of the week Jinkx spent her time in a panic trying to decide what she should say and of course practicing everything in the privacy of her bathroom. It all felt clumsy and awkward but she needed to do her best for Katya. After all, if she had listened to Sharon and stopped while she was ahead, none of this would have happened.

She had to make things right!

The day of, Jinkx was racked with nerves. As the hours slowly ticked by she was more grateful than ever when the shop was busy. It took her mind away from what might happen later that night. She hoped everything would work out. It just had to.

Finally, the last customer left the store and Ivy and Jinkx began to clear out some of the space in order to make room for the breakaway tables and chairs. Being so last minute both women felt lucky they were able to find as many as they had, borrowing most and just for good measure, purchasing an extra table and a few chairs themselves until they had enough for a decent sized crowd. They had decided to use the alcove as the display area for the flowers their attendees would be able to select from, as well as Jinkx’s makeshift podium being that it was slightly elevated above the rest of the floor by a mere three steps.

Once they had finished, the layout didn’t look nearly as rushed and unplanned as expected. A few minutes passed before they heard the shop door opening for what they assumed to be the first student of the night. To their surprise, it was in fact Violet who walked in looking rather dolled up as though she had made plans then decided last minute to bail in favor of attending the class. She gave the girls a little wink as she sat herself in the first row and purposefully placed her coat over the neighboring chair.

“Sharon and I will be participating,” she said to no one in particular. “Thought it’d be good for us to learn how to make a proper bouquet finally.”

Both of the assistants rolled their eyes but Jinkx for one felt a bit relieved…at least until the young owner added in, “Plus I didn’t want to miss the show.”

Oh, god that did not help Jinkx’s nerves at all, particularly as more attendees began to file into the shop. It was hardly a surprise that Trixie was among the first wave to enter. She had taken an end seat at one the tables furthest away from the door and naturally kept well away from the rest of the crowd loitering closer to the middle rows. She seemed to show a little bit of discomfort, perhaps even having second thoughts, and Jinkx was oddly reassured by that. Maybe there was hope yet that Trixie would be able to understand the mistake and forgive Katya for accidental offense.

It was getting closer and closer to the official start time of the class yet Courtney and Katya were no where in sight. Jinkx was nervously biting her nails as Ivy tried her best to calm her down. Though she was touched by the effort, the attempt did little to ease the nausea in her stomach.

Had Katya refused to show up? Was she a sobbing mess in her apartment? And where was Sharon?!?

Smoking had never tempted Jinkx before but as the minutes slowly ticked by she increasingly began considering taking a cigarette from Sharon’s hidden stash and hiding out back for the rest of the night. Then to her relief, the shop’s bell rang for the first time in the last 15 minutes and revealed Katya filing in with both Courtney and Willam close behind her. She looked tired and unhappy at first, then downright miserable as soon as she spotted Trixie at the far end of the room.

She tried to turn around and leave but to Jinkx’s surprise, Willam was the one to stop her with a quick glare. Meekly, the blonde quietly made her way towards an empty set of chairs in the second to last row and sat down. Courtney sat next to her, running her hand soothingly along the younger woman’s arm, while Willam hopped up on the table behind them and began tapping away at her phone. Seems she might just be there as the muscle to make sure Katya stays for the full duration of the class.

Jinkx didn’t miss the note of apprehension in Katya’s eyes as she glanced towards Trixie. The young blonde seemed on the verge of tears again even as she placed a scowl on her face and refused to give into the temptation of looking back at Katya. In fact, she almost seemed ready to storm out in anger.

Then like a perfectly timed force of nature herself, Sharon made her entrance from the other side of the room. Her heels clicked steadily as she crossed the shop’s floor to take the empty seat by Violet’s side. Jinkx was left in awe that Sharon’s mere presence, wordlessly no less, had cut the chatter down to almost nothing and encouraged most of the standing attendees to take their seats and turn towards the alcove.

Bracing herself as best as she could, Jinkx swallowed her nerves and took her place at the top of the short set of stairs. At Sharon’s encouraging nod, she announced with more confidence than she actually felt, “Alright everyone, please take your seats! We’re going to be starting in just a minute.”

To her mild shock the class actually listened and those that were previously still standing quickly found empty chairs until nearly every space had been filled. Jinkx’s hands were shaking as the last person quieted down and everyone’s attention became focused on her. Taking a deep breath, she began her well-practiced mini lecture, “Good evening, class. Tonight I’ll be explaining some of the basics in the art of flower arrangement, as well as giving you a brief introduction to floriography, also called 'the language of flowers.’”

Taking a short pause to catch her breath before her nerves overwhelmed her, Jinkx cast her gaze around the room and settled on the friendly faces of Willam and Courtney in the back. Continuing on, the redhead emphasized, “As easy as it might seem at first to create a bouquet; there are actually a number of subtleties you need to be conscious of before you start picking flowers at random…First, you need to decide if you want your flowers to convey a particular message…If not, then you have more freedom in what you can select…however, if the message is the point of the bouquet then you need to be aware of one; what meaning each flower has and two; how that meaning can change.”

Here Jinkx stopped again for a moment to gather her courage to move on with the next section of her lecture. Noticing her hesitance, Sharon gave her another reassuring nod and a small encouraging smile.

Feeling just a tad braver, she explained to the class, “For instance, not all flowers have the same meanings across cultures. An example would be the peony; in Japan it can symbolize bravery but in the US it could represent shame or anger…Even within the same culture, a meaning can change…Two people might develop their own symbolism for a plant, something apart from what the mainstream has assigned…”

Causally letting her line of sight be drawn in Trixie’s direction, Jinks further elaborated, “Another example of how this practice can get tricky is that depending on the color being used, a flower’s message could also be altered. Take for instance a rose…”

At this Trixie perked up in her seat, her eyes catching Jinkx’s for a brief moment before the redhead moved on. “Most people know that a rose is usually used to symbolize love or affection…and typically those roses are going to be red…But if someone where to give say, a white rose, that could mean 'purity’ or 'innocence’ or even 'secrecy’…Blue has been interpreted by some as 'mysterious’ while pairing red and white together can symbolize 'unity’ or 'solidarity’.”

Flicking her eyes back in Katya’s direction, Jinkx found the blonde eagerly listening to what she was saying as the gears noticeably began turning inside her head.

Almost reluctantly, Jinkx went on to explain in a serious manner, “Even just a single color can have different or conflicting meanings…

Yellow for instance…” she added in pointedly, “can sometimes mean 'friendship’ or 'joy’ and other times it could mean 'betrayal’ or even be used for an apology…There are times when you have to look at the other flowers in the bouquet to figure what message the sender is really trying to convey…”

Very deliberately, more than she ought to, Jinkx turned her attention strictly towards Trixie, and stated gently, “It can be easy to assume the worst, especially if you are unsure of their feelings…that’s why it’s necessary not to rely on the flowers alone.”

Shifting her sight back on Katya, the redhead suggested, “You can include a note with the bouquet or better yet, just talk with the person you are giving the flowers to…Though it might seem romantic or safe at first to leave an arrangement for them to find on their own…it can lead to a misunderstanding…especially if you’re not really explaining how you actually feel.”

Letting her eyes roam over the rest of the class, she warned, “Part of why using floriography fell out of practice was because there was so much ambiguity involved with plants and their meanings. It can be fun sending secret messages back and forth but both parties need to understand and agree on what meaning they are assigning to each plant…” Motioning towards the flowers and plants around her, Jinkx added, “Tonight you all will be creating your own bouquets with a special message of your own choice…On the tables you’ll find a list of all the flowers we have available for you to use and their more common meanings…Take a minute to review the list and then come up here in a single file line to select your flowers…”

As a number of the students began talking amongst themselves about what to select, Jinkx noticed that both Katya and Trixie were staring at one another with an interesting mix of emotions expressed across their faces. Katya was apologetic and fidgety, clearly understanding just what had gone wrong with the bouquet she had selected for Trixie. As for the young woman in question, there seemed to be a twinge of guilt in her eyes as she nervously bit the inside of her lip. To her credit, it looks as though the thought that the bouquet might have been the result of an innocent mistake occurred to her as well. Now she just had to decide how to react to it…

After what felt like hours of shifting her attention between the two women and the growing crowd of attendees in the alcove, Jinkx was able to let out a soft sigh of relief as the pair broke eye contact to stare pensively at the papers in front of them. All that was left was to wait and see if the seeds she had planted in their minds would take root and motivate them to finally talk with one another.

With one final piece of advice for the rest of the class as they began carrying their flowers back to their station, Jinkx called out, “And don’t forget to pick up some of the filler plants on your way back as well; you’re going to need more than you think!”

**********

Nearly two hours later, the class was concluding and Jinkx had never felt more relieved in her life. Though Trixie and Katya still had yet to talk to each other, she was quick to take notice of what flowers each woman had used in her bouquet. For her part Katya gave the white, yellow and pink themed bouquet a second chance, this time making sure that the flowers used were ones that truly represented how she felt.

As for Trixie, her bouquet was a bit louder, having shoved in rain lilies, chrysanthemums and of course, plenty of rue until the vase was overflowing from all sides. But despite how ardent she seemed to be to apologize, she hadn’t quite dared to look over in Katya’s direction for over an hour. Not since a round of bickering was heard from Courtney and Willam regarding the dirty blonde’s more imaginative use for the flowers…

And to Jinkx’s amusement, both Violet and Sharon were working on their own bouquets…

She had to admit, they did look a lot better than their previous attempts when she first began working there. Violet’s bouquet was finished already, focusing not so much on the flowers meanings but simply on what looked good. As for Sharon; she was still toying with most of her flowers, occasionally taking apart the bouquet as though arrangement she had begun wasn’t good enough. For right now, it still remained half finished at her table before she gave up to join Jinkx in the alcove. Though she hid her intentions better than Jinkx had, she also seemed to be just as curious as to what would happen next with the pair of young blondes.

Taking the increased chatter from the crowd as a cue to wrap things up, Jinkx announced, “It looks like pretty much everyone has finished their bouquets so let’s call it a night…Please feel free to take your arrangements home with you…you can keep them for yourselves, give them to someone else-”

“Whatever gets you out of here quicker,” Sharon mumbled under her breath until Jinkx elbowed her in the side a little.

The redhead was giving her mild scolding look until a loud call of “Bill!” caught their attention.

“What are you doing?” the blonde demanded with fiery red cheeks as the dirty blonde dragged her towards the exit.

Though she was trying her best to sound outraged, Jinkx noticed that she was hardly putting up a fight. She missed most of what Willam had said in response but the last few words seemed to be ’-home with me.’

Whatever she had said quickly shut Courtney up and without another word she allowed herself to be ushered away from the shop walking hand in hand with the dirty blonde. As they left a few stray flowers and petals fell from Courtney’s hair onto the shop floor.

'Great,’ Jinkx thought sarcastically, 'More to clean up.’

“She’s going to be late tomorrow,” Sharon commented with a hint of knowing smile on her lips.

Before Jinkx could find the brain power to question that little scene further, she found her attention being drawn back to Katya as Violet all but shoved her in Trixie’s direction. Her hands were clasped nervously around her vase and even from the distance, Jinkx could see the flowers shaking as she held it out to Trixie. At almost the same time, the young blonde had extended her own bouquet towards Katya, stopping just an inch or two short before they otherwise would have knocked against one another.

Giving a nervous laugh, Trixie pushed back a lock of hair and shyly offered a few muffled words that Jinkx would have bet anything were an apology. Straining to hear the conversation as most of the crowd began to exit the building, it seemed that Katya had fallen prey to her nervous nature and was blurting out anything that came to mind. Jinkx was almost rushing down to cut in and help her out but Sharon’s firm hold on her shoulder stopped her before she was even able to move an inch. The look the older blonde gave her clearly said, 'Trust her…she can handle this.’

Nodding, Jinkx held her tongue and watched as Trixie’s expression shifted from one of stunned silence to fond understanding. Setting her vase on the table beside them, she pushed Katya’s out of the way and clasped a hand over her mouth to stop the onslaught that had been rapidly spilling from her lips. The older woman’s eyes were wide as she quickly shut herself up and waited for Trixie to make the next move. If it were possible, Jinkx would swear that she saw Katya’s hands close ever tighter around her vase as she heard Trixie state with perfect clarity, “I like you…Do you like me?”

Immediately Katya was nodding her head and it was a small guess to say she was trying to speak again even though Trixie’s hand still cut off any sound she might have made. Unconcerned with what the elder blonde might be saying, she instead asked, “The other bouquets, did you mean them…what the flowers said?”

Even from the distance Jinkx could hear the emphatic muffled “Yes” that escaped through Trixie’s fingers. Smiling even brighter, the young woman asked her final questions even as the pink slowly rose behind her heavy makeup, “Do you want to go grab a coffee? Talk this out some more?”

With her eyes beginning to shine from many unshed tears, Katya eagerly nodded her head and no sooner had Trixie’s hand left her mouth could Jinkx see a matching smile on her lips. If anything it might have been even wider than Trixie’s as she showed off her teeth smeared with just a hint of her smudged ruby lipstick.

Whatever the pair said following that was unheard but Jinkx’s heart fluttered as she saw them finally exchanging their bouquets and exit the shop holding hands much like Willam and Courtney had done earlier. They were hardly past the door before Sharon stated casually, “I think they’re gonna be okay.”

“Yeah,” Jinkx replied happily, “I think so, too.”

The next half hour flew by as Violet, Ivy, Sharon and Jinkx cleaned up the shop. There was a bit of a mess on the floor here and there, mostly from plucked leaves or cut stems, but between four people the work was soon finished. All that remained was a single table still filled with the miscellaneous flowers Sharon had intended to use for her bouquet. She finally returned to finishing her arrangement under the watchful eye of Jinkx now that there was nothing else in the shop for her to be concerned with.

Jinkx was watching her with an amused smile for several minutes as she placed the unused flowers with the rest of the shop’s stock for tomorrow. Hardly noticing until they were almost out the door, Ivy and Violet made a near silent exit now that everything had been mostly taken care of. On her way out, the youngest owner caught Jinkx’s attention as the bell rang and jutted her head meaningfully towards the area Sharon was working at. Confused, Jinkx raked her eyes across the table until a very misplaced flower caught her attention; a lone gardenia sitting off by the far corner well away from everything Sharon was currently working with.

Feeling a light blush on her cheeks, she gave Violet a quick nod and moved closer to her boss’s side.

“Sharon?” she called out as her fingers began toying with one of the broken stems left sitting out. As soon as the blonde turned her head up, Jinkx apologized, “I’m sorry, you were completely right before…I should have listened to you.”

With a forgiving smile, Sharon paused in her work and reassured her young assistant, “You meant well…It was a cute idea.”

“I promise, no more meddling,” the redhead stated resolutely.

Chuckling just a little before resuming her task, Sharon replied, “Good, glad to hear it.”

Still playing with the stem in her hand, Jinkx’s eyes drifted to the singular gardenia still sitting out as she mustered her courage to ask softly, “So which is your favorite?…Flower, I mean?”

Shrugging, Sharon replied mildly, “Haven’t really thought about it before.”

“You’ve got time now…” the redhead trailed off as she flicked the stem into the trash and shyly slid one of the leftover lists across the table.

“I guess…” Sharon drawled out after a short pause to review the options, “I kind of identify with daffodils…They fit me.”

Jinkx felt her throat tense as she recalled all of the meanings she had listed beside the picture of the bright yellow flower. Her cheeks were slowly heating up but she couldn’t find the words to speak. She just prayed she wasn’t overthinking what was happening.

“What do you think?” Sharon asked as she motioned towards her now finished bouquet.

Withdrawing from her head space, Jinkx studied the arrangement Sharon had worked so hard on for most of the night. Unsurprisingly there was a healthy amount of jonquil in the vase but also a number of toadflax and foxglove. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she decided to take a chance and replied, “It looks great…Just needs a little something more…”

Spinning around, Jinkx dashed up to the alcove and swiftly pulled out some of the leftover greenery from its temporary storage container in the basin of water. Placing a few strategic pieces in amongst the other flowers, Jinkx met Sharon’s curious gaze and mentioned softly, “Ambrosia…”

Sharon’s eyes darted back to the sheet but as she scanned for the meaning of the flower, Jinkx wrapped her hand around Sharon’s and pressed a light kiss to her cheek. Stepping back she found her boss looking almost as pink as Katya had been earlier. Her eyes were wide as she tried to interpret just what to make of her young assistant’s actions. As Jinkx saw Sharon’s gaze drop back to the list in front of her, she cleaned up the rest of the workspace around Sharon and began walking towards the door. Almost at the frame she called out to her still shocked boss, “See you tomorrow.”

It sounded more like a question but all she could focus on was how fast her heart was racing in her chest. As she started pushing the door open, the bell sounded once more and Sharon shot up from her seat like she’d been electrocuted. With her voice shaking from nerves, the blonde rapidly babbled, “Hey, Jinkx? Do you want to go grab a drink? Right now?”

“Like a date?” she inquired with a hopeful smile.

“Like a date,” Sharon confirmed with a relieved grin of her own as she caught up with the redhead.

Biting back the smile from overtaking her face she replied with a simple heartfelt, “I’d love to.”

below the cut, you will find a complete list of all of the accepted characters! we had an incredible time reading all of the amazing applications you all sent in, and of course, we wish we could have accepted every single one of them! you are all so creative, and such talented writers, these applications really were incredible to read, and we can’t wait to see the amazing things you all bring to this group.

you may notice, beyond the cut, that there are more accepted characters than there were skeletons applied for -- some of the decisions we had to make were so difficult that, where characters were different enough to allow, we accepted a few extra characters under two new skeletons: IVY ( endurance ) and POPPY ( dreams ). If we could have done this for every skeleton with multiple apps, we would have, but our decisions were based on faceclaims, general personalities and backstory similarity, and adherence to the original skeleton to ensure that we didn’t end up with any characters too similar to one another.

for those of you who weren’t accepted there are still a few open skeletons -- ANEMONE, ELDERFLOWER, and LARKSPUR -- and we’re considering the possibility of opening up a few new skeletons once things settle down on the main and the group is properly open, so we would absolutely love to have you reapply, if you’re interested. we’ll set a second acceptance date soon, so let us know how long you’ll need to write a new application if you’re planning to reapply!

for those of you who were accepted, at the bottom of the post you’ll find a link to the accepted page, which will give you a checklist of what to do now! we can’t wait to write with you!

ASPEN -- congratulations, Kay! you have been accepted as Reina Takahashi ( Asami Zdrenka FC ). What struck me first, in reading your all, was the way the style of your prose so perfectly echoed Reina’s uncertainty and anxiety, the questions and the what-ifs. I was also so taken in by your metaphor of Reina approaching magic like a game of Minecraft, “All you’re doing is rendering an enormous amount of land— but what are you doing with it?” -- I can feel and understand the way Reina sees the world so clearly from your application, and I think she’s absolutely perfect for Aspen!

But how many times had she gone sleepless, awake at night while the rest of the coven was fast asleep as dusk turned to dawn? How many times had she spent so much time fretting that she decided to drop a decision altogether? Action was better than inaction, they say, but the what-ifs always ate away at her, until sometimes all she could do was let the idea rest.

FOXGLOVE -- congratulations, V! you have been accepted as Claudia Nguyen ( Lana Condor FC ). The decision for Foxglove was one of the hardest we made, but it came down to the specificity of detail in your app -- her ice skating, her connection to the world of witches through her friend, the way she attempts to feel content with the idea of never having magic... I just kept loving Claudia more and more as the app went on. I think she’s absolutely wonderful, and I can’t wait to write with her!

Her powers were weak, underdeveloped, hard to understand, and almost vague. Claudia heard someone whispering in the halls in her first weeks, wondering if she was a mistake, if her patron regretted their choice yet. Claudia kept her chin up, telling herself to just work harder. But she wasn’t a part of this world, she’d been raised with money and rules and snowflakes, not spells and incantations and rituals.

HEATHER -- congratulations, Emm! you have been accepted as Dera Helene Whelan ( Josefine Frida Pettersen FC ). Emm, both your apps were absolutely fantastic, and picking between the two was agony, but ultimately we felt more passion in your app for Dera, which tipped the scales her way. Dera’s family connection to the coven that raised her, her troubling and fascinating relationship with her patron, and the way her loss informs her coldness to the world were absolutely incredible and we can’t wait to see where you take Dera in the group!

Knowing this made the grieving process easier for Dera - she was comforted in knowing that her mother and father could be visited in a summer breeze, the crash of waves, the rustling of leaves. Yet, she still felt like a large part of her was tangled up in a locked treasure chest somewhere, an emptiness that she learned to fill with a growing thirst for knowledge, for protection, for distance. She didn’t want to feel anymore, at least not in the way that she was now so used to feeling.

HOLLYHOCK -- congratulations, Shannon! you have been accepted as Felix Dumont ( Chance Perdomo FC ). Maybe I’m biased because Hollyhock was my favorite of the skeletons, but I am absolutely head over heels in love with Felix. Their reluctant acceptances of a patron who was so much different from what they expected, and their subsequent whole-hearted acceptance of her and of fortune magic is so incredible, and I absolutely love Zoraida as well. I can’t wait to see Felix butting heads with some of the other witches we have in play, and I can’t wait to see what you do with them!

Like other witches Felix hadn’t thought much of the ancient discipline, that was until they saw the true power that lay within its workings. Magic had given Felix something they’d never had before- a future, a way to gain control of the life that was finally becoming their own. Now with the magic of foretelling the future in their hands, they are determined to use it to their full advantage, and to help carve out a new age for the discipline that has become so wholly their own.

HYACINTH-- congratulations, Kal! you have been accepted as Aria Hadley ( Stella Maeve FC ). This app... Kal, I am shook. You apologized for length in your bio but there was absolutely no need, because by the end you absolutely still had me wanting more. When I thought about possibilities for Hyacinth’s mistake, I summoned a demon by accident and got my best friend killed was not what I had anticipated and yet, it was the exact right thing to pick. It’s so clear from your decisions that you’re really engaged with the worldbuilding work that we have done as admins, and I can’t wait to see that translate to your threads in the group! I also loved Aria’s family background so much, and I’m fascinated to see where her plots go and how she’ll relate to some of the other characters!

Magic ruins people. The words rang in her head as the investigation continued, everyone in the school eyeing her suspiciously and wanting her to leave. When she closed her eyes, she swore she saw glimpses of the attack and she could hear her friend’s screams, but they were blurs, nothing substantial and definitely not enough to put together what happened that night. After a while, she thought it best that she couldn’t remember.

HYSSOP -- congratulations, Emily! you have been accepted as Abigail Sparrow ( Jessica Henwick FC ). Every single word of your bio for Abigail was stunning, it literally brought me to tears. Abigail’s loss is so haunting, and her determination to replace her sister is so heartbreaking... it left me absolutely speechless. I loved her unexpected choice in discipline, the way she envies the chaos students and wants so desperately to fill the hole inside of her. And her patron is so fabulous, too! I can’t wait to see who she becomes in the absence of her sister’s ghost, and what might happen if she sees her again!

One night, in half-delirium, she turned to you with a vacant smile. Will the spirits be kind to me when I go? You didn’t tell her you gave up on them. You didn’t tell her that their haunting had begun to haunt you, that you couldn’t bear to watch her become one of them. Instead, you lied. A small sin for a greater comfort. Yes. You whispered, tears spilling down your cheek.

You fiddled with the dates on the calendar, persuaded Gabrielle you were fourteen a day early. You just wanted one more birthday together.

IVY-- congratulations, Yara! you have been accepted as River Quinn ( Emma Dumont/Ezra Miller FC ). Yara, we loved your application so much we just couldn’t possibly reject it. River is the entire reason we decided to add more skeletons, she’s just that good. I found myself aching for his as I read his backstory, and on top of that, you know I adore both the idea of using two fcs to play a genderfluid character and both of the fantastic fcs you chose. I can’t wait to see her humor in play, as well as her vindictiveness -- and, of course, as is clear from the new skeleton we chose to represent him -- the endurance that has gotten him through this much in life and will take him so much farther!

river quinn was born again at 15 years old. life as an uphill battle, temptation in the desert. they struggle and they grow into something more, they learn how to hide. be seen, not heard, be admirable and lovely and easy to ignore. they were raised with love, but they were raised to be something cruel as well, and they win their approval in any way they can. but every manipulative golden god falls in the end, don’t they? it isn’t river’s parents who decide enough is enough with their new messiah, but river knows the decision is made because soft hearted people can only watch children go through so much.

LAVENDER -- congratulations, Roz! you have been accepted as Nico di Salvatore ( Luke Pasqualino FC ). Nico was the first app we received, and we’ve been longing to accept him every single day since. He’s stunning, I love the way you really wrapped him up in his obsession with magic so fully, from the way he treats his own body -- wanting to escape it when it limits him -- to the way he relies on it for everything. I love his fasciation with technical magic, his big goals in terms of the kinds of magic he wants to do, and I love, love, love his “familiar” Sparrow and his fantastic patron. I’m so excited to see where he goes!

Between his major and minor, Nico didn’t pay enough attention to the traditional routes of summoning a familiar to properly conjure one. He has, however, cobbled together what he calls a sort of familiar: a computer program, binary and magic folded together, housed in the casing of a little mechanical bird. Sparrow, as he named it, acts as his eyes (and ears, if he wants to eavesdrop on juicy gossip). And though she might not be a true spirit familiar, capable of real intelligence, Nico is nonetheless as attached to her as other witches are to their proper familiars.

LOBELIA -- congratulations, Em! you have been accepted as Theodora Summerfield ( Anya Taylor-Joy FC ). Firstly, I am in awe of the beauty of your writing. Every part of your bio ( a five act play through which a girl is written & a witch is made) was absolutely stunning. And on top of that, Theodora is thoroughly fascinating -- her decision to run away from the family that couldn’t stop hurting her, and the feeling of violation and despair at understanding what social magic is and what Violet has done, the way she decides on protection magic to keep her safe from all the ways she’s been hurt and manipulated throughout her life... I love the way her cruelty is born out of pain and fear and the need to protect herself. I can’t wait to see how she grows and changes in the group!

She finds you, again and again as fall fades into winter and winter snaps cold, offers you little pieces of help that you know better than to decline. You don’t understand why you trust her, really you don’t, but you can’t shake the feeling. It’s like magic, the way she’s wormed her way where you’ve allowed no one and it sets you on edge.

MARIGOLD -- congratulations, Zack! you have been accepted as Lucien Yates ( Keith Powers FC ). We’re so glad you got the time to finish your application, because Lucien is so wonderful. His closeness with his coven, his found family, and the way that closeness and their care for him makes his loss so much worse was so heartbreaking, and the way he was so light and so steadfast before it happened makes it even worse. That being said, I know you want to explore his darkness, and I can’t wait to see what you do with it and how loss and grief are going to shape him, and I know that my co-admin is so excited for your wanted plot with Dahlia as well!

Her death was a wave of a darkness that engulfed your light, causing every inch of you to be drained of what made you special. A drought choked at your senses for months afterwards, your spells became erratic, your grades slipped, while your tongue sharpened with new words that were painted with anger. Your father lied about the greatest witches pulling from pain, as if grief was a conductor of power. Perhaps your sorrow was suppose to add grace to your magic, twisting pain that forced tears from your eyes ever night were fuel to a greater strength. Bullshit! Since if that was true, there should be a hurricane revolting in your bones, a maelstrom of power, however you are a drizzle of a boy.

NARCISSUS -- congratulations, Charlie! you have been accepted as Leila Katerina Alvarez-Finch ( Melissa Barrera FC ). We were so glad to see that Leila was your first choice, because she was absolutely ours! I love the fire you’ve captured within them, but also their connection to the human world, and the difficult decision they made in choosing one over the other, in sacrificing what they’d worked so hard for to pick Aradia instead. I think she’s absolutely lovely, and with all the characters in the group who have experienced loss of a loved one, and who have dabbled with necromancy, I can’t wait to see what you make of their necromancer patron!

She had been alone when time had seemed to stop, the chatter around her dying down into a quiet murmur. Everything thing had seemed to slow down to nothing…except for the man who had sat down beside her at the pool. His feet didn’t cause even a ripple when they entered the water. The liquid growing cold around her own feet as a icy breeze radiated from the man.

“I like you.” He had said, sparking an eye roll from Laila even as she sat confused at everything happening around her. “Your confidence.” He continued, “I must be brief. We don’t have a great deal of time.”

POPPY -- congratulations, Nat! you have been accepted as Luna Vaughn ( Courtney Eaton FC ). Nat, we loved both of your applications, but ultimately Luna was the one we loved enough to create a new skeleton for her. You took her insecurity from Foxglove’s skeleton in such a different way that she really seemed to work as a new skeleton -- and we took her experiences with spirits and her longing to find her birth mother again as inspiration in creating this one. I loved the way that forgiveness was such a major part of her personality, with how many times she’s been left behind ( you forgive and forget and start all over again ), and I love the way you used spells to frame your plots for her. I can’t wait to see them in action!

Your thirst for more has become quite dangerous. The dead beings by your side scream out warnings but they fall on deaf ears now, you think you’ve gathered enough strength within the academy walls to practice the forbidden. Oh, you are sorely mistaken; way in over your head as you gather spells and herbs, you know this is not allowed, it is one of the rules they warned you about since starting school but you’re tired, aren’t you? Tired of feeling empty inside and having no one around for support. You want to see the one person that showered you with love, she’s long gone — buried and dead, how can you even dare to try such a thing? You, out of all people, should know that the dead should stay dead.

VALERIAN -- congratulations, Meg! you have been accepted as Aurelia Ashcroft ( Brittany O’Grady FC ). Oh my gosh! We were on the edge of our seats waiting for someone to apply for Valerian, so we were so glad that you sent in an app. Your app was simply lovely! I think the spirit of Valerian was really there, and how they’re always ready to leap into action. I’m so excited to see how the character grows and what direction you take her in!

She had no hesitation upon cutting ties with the mortal world, her family at all. All she’d known with them was secrecy and a normalcy that she had never quite been able to stomach or adapt to. Aradia was a place for her to feel free and she doesn’t know what the future holds but she is ready to become. There’s this little voice in her mind constantly telling her to be alert, to be open to anything.
