Maybe in the past it was a solemn political thing, and each rose was swapped as a promise and a dowry for marriages.

Im also an avid reader of Cinderella-like soulmate aus, so I figure it could be altered to work like that too.

I have a vision of a prince/idol/popstar-like figure tossing their rose out over a sea of people from a stage or balcony to float magically over people's heads before landing in the hands of someone, choosing them. Like the sorting hat but the ultimate "special" moment, yknow?

And it would be so funny if it was sunshine x grumpy character and the sunshine is the idol and the grumpy character was the one who was dragged to the concert in the first place by their friend, and they had no intention of actually being chosen but instead theyre catapulted into the spotlight. (Bonus points if they've met before [meet cute or meet rude or childhood friends etc and so forth])

This would also work so well with a hanahaki au if you want angst, magical flowers and such. Like if Character A fell in love fast and hard and plucked their rose to give to Character B because they were sure they reciprocated, only to be rejected (accidentally, unknowingly or intentionally) and have the magic fold in on itself and manifest in their lungs.

And in the opposite direction i had a vision of family fluff from an outside perspective of a mother at home watching her children's flowers bloom until the day they come home to pluck it to give it to their chosen at their wedding, like Molly Weasley. (Maybe a god watching their pantheon?)

It also doesn't even have to just be one love or bloom. Someone (like a pirate or traveller) could hold dried petals from their rose in a locket to give to people they fall in love with. The petals get rehydrated and thrive with the love they channel and feel while their relationship develops.

OR the locket holds the petals of the people who've fallen in love with them.

I originally had wanted to write a story with the concept and then I had the idea to use it for a fanfic idea as one does.

And now I feel like it works so well as a fanfic prompt that I need to share it :D.

"Mmm..that's it baby~ just moan for me and me only~"

"Aww~ you're so cute. Do you want your daddy to give you a reward for being such a good girl?~"

"Me. You. Bed. Now."

"Oh? You like it when I bite? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

A is horny as fuck and is usually the dominant one in the relationship but tonight B is horny as fuck and decides to show A how much of a dominant person they really can be.

^^^ A is so into that shit.

B wants to spend quality type with A privately but A is always at work so when they finally have a day off, B had decorated the room to "set the mood". Does A like it or not? All up to you.

B's boss comes to visit B and A, however, he ends up flirting with A while B is fuming with jealousy. However, B easily scoops A and starts aggressively making out with A to prove and show B's boss that A belongs to them only.

"I will fuck you so hard that you won't be able to walk for a few months! Understand?" "Mm kinky. Why not do it right here and now then babe?~"

"What the fuck are you?" "I'm a sex worker." "..oh-" "Got a problem with that?" "No...but can you fuck me?" "Heh, if that's what you want~"

"You belong to me only darling!"

A shy innocent looking yandere x A tired asf college student

"I love you! I love you! I love you! Wait- hold on- why aren't you saying it back? You do love me back right?" "O- Of course! I lo- I love you too." "Yay! But why are you crying? Who hurt you?!"

A emotionless yandere x A bright sunshine

A is a yandere and practically forced B into a relationship with them by using their secrets and loved ones against them. B is absolutely fucking miserable and probably beyond broken and saving (emotionally wise)

A werewolf yandere x A vampire

"Whoever said you can't leave? You can leave but all you gotta do is tell me where you're going on what day and at what time! Okay love?"

"No! You must stay with me! It's the only way that I can be truly happy! Please! I'm begging you! I love--no--I - I must love you!"
