Flower Day By LivesInAStomach -- Report

Garland the human learns of a very special holiday about celebrating the special people in your life. Special people, and also maybe special dragons.

***

Happy Valentine's Day! This is actually the first story I've written since I completed the Voretober challenge. While I was in the middle of working on other larger, more meatier projects (including the sequel to The Foxgirl Next Door, don't worry, I'm still working on that) I wanted to take a brain break and write something a little smaller. Well, that was the intention, anyways. The initial plan was to only write around 1,500 words or so, but I ended up being so passionate about this scenario that I just kept writing and writing. I'm very pleased with the end result! It's very sweet, and I hope at least someone out there enjoys it.

The main protagonists, both human and dragon, were left intentionally fluid in terms to their gender. They could be non-binary, ambiguous, or whatever you want your imagination to create.

Oh my, as usual this is very well done and wonderfully wholesome, you did a wonderful job at keeping the characters open to reader interpretation and as usual created a very comfy scenario. Good work

Thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, I really wanted to make the main character kind of just a blank slate for the reader's imagination. More customizable, that way, instead of creating alternative versions of the story for male prey, female prey, male predator, female predator, etc.

aww thank you! I did have a good day, thank you for asking! I was pretty proud of the world-building too, I think this is the first thing on Eka's Portal to have the "sign language" tag so I suppose I have that going for me.

I really like the idea of leaving the genders of all parties involved up to the reader. It keeps things open for people who are more flexible, without shutting out anyone with more rigid preferences. Aro representation is also a big thumbs up from me. Great work all around!

I may be late for the party, but this story was incredibly sweet~. You're great at showing how the characters have a deep bond despite it being unconventional. And the fact that they can't communicate at the end is a nice detail to show how much trust has to be involved~.
