Overview

Max:

Me? In love with a fictional character? No way!

So why was I coughing up flowers every time I thought about the main character from my favorite video game?

Areth was a sexy, badass monster and utterly perfect, but none of that mattered because he wasn’t real. If I really was in love with him, I was going die, and there was nothing I could do about it.

But before that happened, with all these free flowers at my disposal, at least I’d be able to open a kick-ass flower stand.


This story contains:

Unrealistic size difference resolved by magic

Fated mates

A very small dog

Monster love

Dimension hopping

Wanton destruction of furniture

So very many flowers

Don’t know what Hanahaki is? I got you covered.

Hanahaki:

A fictional disease created in the fanfiction community in the early 2000s. According to the lore, a person develops Hanahaki when they fall in love with a person so deeply they can’t live without them. Symptoms begin with a sore throat followed by intermittent coughing that eventually results in coughing up flowers.

If the sufferer doesn’t gain the love of the object of their affection, they will eventually die from suffocation. The only other known cure is to have them removed through surgery, but if they do, their feelings for the person will be lost forever.
