I completely forgot to post the one fic I've managed to finish this year. Well, better late than never!

Todoroki Shouto is not welcome in Katsuki's alchemy shop. No exceptions.

Hold on a second, I hear you cry out, isn't this just a rewritten version of that flowershop iwaoi you wrote a few years back?
Why yes, my astute dear, it certainly is! oTL

The prompt I wrote this fic was flowershop and I very much have a one-track mind apparently; this is the only thing my brain would conjure up, and I am but a slave to my whims. I should also point out that when I say 'only fic I finished this year', I mean 'finally wrote the last 2000 words'. It's been sitting neglected in my drafts for over a year and a half. But hey, it's done now!

I was actually feeling pretty bad about taking so long to finish it. After a point, I felt like scrapping it all because what was the point, etc. etc. But you know, I think it was fate! (Don't laugh.) I didn't know how to end it exactly until it suddenly occurred to me, the perfect ending, last week. And it wasn't beautifully written or poignant, but it suited, and it felt right to me, and writing it was like finally stepping out of a dark room.

I love todobaku for helping me restore any semblance of faith in myself regarding creative endeavours. I'm happy I finally got to share! And this story was suuuper fun to write while I was writing it. It's chock-full of ghibli references (the vast majority of which I did not intentionally throw in there), and I got to go to town making up a silly alchemy system that used lots of nonsense magical herbs. I really loved it!

World-building is so fun. *happy sigh* Anyway, yeah, wanted to throw this on here before the year's end. o/ I wish I could say more about the fic itself, but in truth, it's been so long since I wrote it... o.o
