"pretty venom" #btsfics #btsfest

When he was younger, and once he knew he would be a stamen, Jeongguk used to dream about what his flower would be. Would it be big and colorful? Simple yet elegant? How would it look like on the skin of his person, his pistil, when he found them? He has always been a romantic at heart, but it feels almost cruel to think about that now, when he knows that no pistil is going to want him ever.

Taehyung and Jimin have spent years in the inbetween not with themselves but with their feelings for Namjoon. They decide to act on it one day after seeing his flower in an unexpected place.

Pistil Seokjin keeps coughing up the flowers he should be wearing on his back. Little does he suspect stamens Yoongi and Namjoon would be more than happy to change that.

"A Garden for Seven" #btsfics #btsfest

#ot7 / explicit / ongoing

archiveofourown.org/works/640508...
It was the well-understood (though rarely explicitly spoken) agreement between the witches of the world: the shifters - calyxes, all of them - formed their covens together in the city, and the green witches who came from the ranks of the awakened pistils and stamens worked their magic in the countryside. However, cat shifters Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin are forced to move out of their urban home and into the domain of a coven of green witches. They hope that their leader - Namjoon, a pistil with three bonded stamens - will tolerate their presence.

"Efflorescence" #btsfics #btsfest

After an awful incident that occurred while Hoseok was in college, he left the only life that he knew and relocated to a small seaside country town. Known as the recluse he barely interacts with anyone, it’s just better that way for everybody. After years of having no neighbors, someone buys the land next door, building a cabin and then moving in. Hoseok’s quiet loner life is not so quiet– or lonely anymore. But how can he reveal his true self?

Namjoon finds a different flower on Seokjin's back. It could only mean one thing: Seokjin slept with someone else. They breakup. Five years later, the truth comes out.

💐 Paint the bouquet 💐

As we wait for the month to end and for May to greet us with all the fics our amazing writers are crafting, let's play a litte game: colour each bouquet according to how much you like the associated trope.
