Lovely writing. There is such of a magical feeling in the beginning, and I feel as if one's sense of reality slowly ebbs and washes away, making it all ethereal and hazy as the story progresses. If that makes any sense. Great characterization. But you truly had me at the flower meanings. I'm a sucker for those kinds of details. Oak for bravery. And Watson blushed! <3 It's all very subtle; a lovely story overall. Thank you very much, anon!
