Story Notes: I started this fic last year in response to Syn's wonderful Hanahaki challenge, and then completely stalled on it, so I was very excited to pick it back up for challenge month this year. Then April completely got away from me. So this is NOT a WIP. It's just a two-parter, lol.
Thanks so much to Syn for the challenge, sharing the amazing artwork that inspired the story in so many ways and all the resources way back when I started this thing. Thanks so much to Tessa for the first read throughs back then, and to simmony for talking me through getting back into it and the serious beta read.
The illustration used within the banner and the story artwork is by JieXi Tan and can be found here. The text used in the story artwork is from the Fanlore.org page on Hanahaki Disease with some minor edits for context. The title comes from the poem "And Thou Art Dead As Young and Fair" by Lord Byron.
