Yay!

Narumitsu Hanahaki fic recs

What is more suited to Narumitsu than a good Hanahaki Disease fic? The term "Hanahaki disease" literally comes from the Japanese words "hana" (花, flower) and "haki" (吐く, to vomit).  Hanahaki au stories are often tragic, with the protagonist struggling to breath, their lungs becoming overgrown with flowers. It can be fatal, and can only be cured if the beloved reciprocates the feelings, or if an invasive surgery is performed that removes the flowers but also the memories and feelings associated with the beloved. Many Hanahaki victims refuse to give up their 'unnecessary feelings' and so the scene is set for some delicious angst and confessions, a perfect set up for our two sweet (and often idiotic), long suffering attorneys.

I should also mention that all the fics listed below are whumpy ‘lite.’ I would say all fit in the hurt/comfort category, but do read the tags.

As usual, these are in no particular order, because fics are to be enjoyed and celebrated, not ranked ;p

Enjoy!

1. Fall Where They May by flybykeylimepie

A really creative and unique Hanaki story. I tend to come back to this one over and over when I'm feeling that need for something a bit whumpy but romantic. Recommended if you likes your beauty cut with a little pain. (Seriously my lungs kinda hurt at the end of this... but it's so good 🫁 🌸)

"The petals he spits out, wet and brilliant, curl at the ends. He wonders why they’re always blue. It is hardly as if he is in any danger of forgetting who this is for." A beautifully written ficlet from Miles' point of view.

4. Cyclamen Persicum (Resignation) by Axolotl_Supremacy

Rating: T Words: 10,467 Read time: 45 mins

Cute , wholesome and satisfying (well, as cute and wholesome as bloody flowers and an angst filled Hanahaki tale can be), filled with affectionate little nods to the characters we love.

Rating: T Words: 326 Read time: 5 mins

A bloody charming little ficlet about unnecessary feelings.

6. Perseverance by Udaberri for narcissasdaffodil

Rating: G Words: 2,336 Read time: 10 mins

Beautifully written hanahaki disease one-shot. I really enjoyed some of the imagery and phrasing in this one. "As the years pass, he’ll gain a reputation for ruthlessness, but his breath will still smell of flowers..."

7. feelings are fatal by spacekidmidge

Rating: M Words: 5,118 Read time: 25 mins

“I have been in love with you, dumbass!”

Haha! Brilliant.

8. love most definitely requited by TheEclecticLibrarian

Rating: T Words: 9,556 Read time: 40 mins

What a gorgeous title and what a gorgeous story… Seriously, I feel like this one should be on the 'Required Narumitsu Reading List.' (hmm, I think this might be a future post?)

Franziska, Kay, Maya and Trucy are featured strongly and there is dialogue between Franziska and Miles in the opening that just got me right in the feels. And finish it with a beautiful and funny confession scene? This fic deserves all the flowers.

Super sweet Hanahaki one-shot with one of my favourite versions of Edgeworth: worried and action-driven {;-)

10. not a flower on the wall by PennamePersona

Rating: T Words: 5,166 Read time: 20 mins

Excellent take on this genre: Hanahaki as a neurological condition, with a very kind of bitter-sweet ending. Refreshing and creative.

a normal day in the wright anything agency

[ID: A 4-page comic featuring Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes and Trucy Wright from Ace Attorney. They’re in their usual outfits, save for Phoenix, who’s discarded the blazer, and Athena, who is in suspender pants instead.

1. There are 2 panels.

Panel 1 Phoenix leans against his office chair, expression tight.

Phoenix: Aaaah - I’m beat!

Panel 2 He gets out of the chair, beating his own back.

Phoenix: gonna stretch for a bit…

2. 4 sequential stick figure doodles of Phoenix, with spiky hair and blue-filled, stretching, as his back aggressively pops with each doodle.

3. There are 2 panels.

Panel 1 In the foreground, Phoenix continues to stretch and groan, and his back continues to aggressively pop. Apollo and Athena watch from the other end of the office with frightened expressions.

Panel 2 Apollo and Athena look at each other, eyes bugging out, mildly fearful. Phoenix’s back pops on.

4. There are 2 parts.

Part 1 Trucy is happily saying, “Oh, Daddy’s back has been doing that since for-ever! He’s like a personal bubble wrap!” Beside her is a stick figure depiction of Trucy jumping on Phoenix’s back, with Trucy filled in a lighter shade of blue than Phoenix.

Phoenix: thanks sweetie Trucy: no problemo, Daddy-o! Phoenix’s back: pop crack

Part 2 Apollo and Athena are sweating, thinking ‘BUBBLE WRAP…’. On them is a translucent stock image of a bubble wrapper.

^this times 1000.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

Love this! I get so excited when I see someone bringing such a unique and strong artistic voice to celebrate our blorbos!

don't worry about your imminent unemployment kitten
