For @rathxritter​

The green rose is symbolic of harmony and of fertility. The colour itself is indicative of peace and tranquility. Green roses can also symbolise best wishes for a prosperous new life or wishes for recovery of good health.

Whilst Fitz goes off to war, Jemma is left to face the consequences of their love.

AH it's the final chapter! This has truly come about so quickly I actually cannot believe it! Brace yourselves bc this chapter is a bit of a rollercoaster, but it is all worth it I PROMISE!!! Thank you all so very much for your lovely comments, and I hope you enjoy the last little bit of this story! I have to give another big thank you to Kate (@rathxritter​) for this WONDERFUL prompt, without it this story would not exist, so thank you very much Kate.

Also please excuse me, I maybe threw historical accuracy out of the window at points of this chapter, but I had questions that APPARENTLY google could not answer. 

   Thank you all so very much for reading! Your kudos and comments truly do mean the world!

Enjoy!

For @rathxritter​

The red rose is symbolic of passion, of deep romantic feelings, longing and desire.

Jemma and Fitz's friendship flourishes in the privacy of the rose garden, but one evening, one afternoon, and one morning can change everything.

The white rose is associated with feelings of innocence and chastity, and are generally associated with new beginnings.

April 1939

Betcha thought I’d never write this huh? SO in like August of last year the lovely Kate  (@rathxritter​)  sent me a prompt for an ask game, writing a plot based on just a title, and Kate sent me the prompt: Deeper Than All Roses and it absolutely sent my imagination RIOT!! I have wanted to write it properly ever since and in the new year I DID!! I’m very nervous about posting this tbh, but also so very excited!! For those interested I will link the og prompt here, but BE WARNED, it spoils the ENTIRE PLOTLINE bc I basically just word vomited a story.  Thanks again Kate for this prompt, and I hope you enjoy it and think I did the thing justice!!

See you next week for chapter two!
