Been thinking about my flower fae/Red Rider AU for my oc Val and did some doodles with a bit of quick color on the one where he’s coughing up flowers ala hanahaki!

I don’t think this is a true hanahaki situation, though! There are a couple of fairy takes involving people getting cursed or “blessed” to have strange things like frogs or gold come out of their mouths when they speak and I have a feeling this is more along those lines. Though I am also weighing the idea of it being like….an inverse hanahaki in which every time Val starts to fall in love with anyone but his Fae queen, flowers bloom in his chest and choke every word until he backs off and returns his affections to their “proper” place. Since Val is a huge flirt in like 99% of the AUs he’s in, I imagine this would happen a lot!
