CARNATIONS

RATING: M • CHAPTERS: 4/8

Hanahaki Disease happens in three stages - red carnations, to symbolise love and passion; yellow carnations, to symbolise rejection and disappointment; and white carnations, funeral flowers. The disease is caused by unrequited love, and can be cured either by receiving a confession or undergoing surgery. Once the flowers turn white, though, the disease becomes terminal. Near knew exactly three things about his condition when the petals started coming up. One, he was in love with Mello. Two, Mello wasn’t in love with him. Three, one of those things had to change.

"The "Red Thread of Fate" is an East Asian myth that says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. This thread can stretch or tangle but never break, symbolizing the inevitable connection".

Heatstroke

11.12.2018 | my submission for the death note zine, alumina, from earlier this year.

"I will love you as misfortune loves orphans, as fire loves innocence and as justice loves to sit and watch while everything goes wrong." - Lemony Snicket

Older Mello and Near have teamed up as L and Near has to cross dress as a wealthy young heiress for *handwave handwave* very legitimate detective work reasons

I hope I did well :DDD

Standing there next to the pantry, body bare and goosebumped and bruised, Near looks fragile, but Mello is the one to shatter.

-- i want to hold you (hostage)

very excited to share this incredibly gorgeous commission from @horreurscopes for the one-year anniversary of the first chapter of i want to hold you (hostage) ! this story was by far my biggest project last year, and remains extremely dear to me; i'm so grateful and honestly quite moved by the reception it received (i was very nervous to share it!) and i'll always have immense affection for everyone who helped me through the writing and editing process (either by beta reading, lending me their ear, or cheering me on). there are too many people who fit into that category to name all of them, but i would be remiss to not mention @empressofthewind, as i never would have managed to finish this story without her support <3

bonus below the cut: the nothing hurts like you do edition!

to have and to hurt
