False Flowers

G, 5k, pre-wangxian

Summary: It is well known that the Damsel of Annual Blossoms is a fairly harmless spirit, and is thus left largely alone by the cultivation world. What could possibly drive such a calm and cultured spirit to murder?

Mojo's comments: Fanart! This casefic is set just after our boys meet up with nhs at the Flower Festival. A young girl begs for their help, after a ferocious ghost kills her family… a ghost who leaves the scent of flowers in its wake. Has the Flower Damsel warped from being a beloved local spirit to take a more evil bent? Pre-wangxian, the story is a good occasion for the boys to learn how to work together, and gives nhs and his fine arts background an opportunity to shine.
