don’t forget to give the authors featured on this list some love in the form of kudos, bookmarks, and comments!

hello, @singsweetmelodies my love. anything for you ❗️ I hope you enjoy these ❤️

Alex/Yuki

leave it all to bloom by @hungerpunch | G | 1.4k Alex and Yuki take a break away from the madness of the Japanese Grand Prix. This is such a beautiful story. Their relationship here is blossoming, and so it is very fitting that they visit gardens! There is a kind of tentative excitement that hums between them, and it is so much fun to read. The world the author has built here is beautiful, and I'd love to live inside of it for a while. Just gorgeous.

'Yuki laughs, knocks his shoulder into Alex’s ribs, and then proceeds to name all the autumnal blooms as they go: tall yet dainty kosumosu in white and red and pink, a crimson swath of spindly spider lilies, the quintessential poofy chrysanthemums in every color. Pink peonies and classic suisen, both of which Yuki tells him are blooming early: “They're winter flowers normally.” Alex doesn't stand a chance retaining any of this information but he wishes, suddenly, that he did.'

Carlos/Pierre

nsfw: lost control by venerat | E | 3.1k Carlos and Pierre meet in a club after a fist fight. I'm beginning to think my fic rec lists wouldn't be complete without a venerat recommendation. I love everything this author shares. This fic is hot, the vibes are suitably rancid, and I loved every second of it. This author is fantastic at building tension, and the pay off is always, always, always worth it.

'Pierre hummed. "You know, I dream about your mouth,” he said, and Carlos burned. His fingers trembled'

Daniel/Mick

nsfw: golden boy by @oversteerey | E | 3.5k Mick and Daniel spend time at the ranch. This pairing works so well. The author does a fantastic job at developing their dynamic, and that is thanks in part to the wonderful, natural, easy-flowing dialogue. They are so gone for each other, and it is so hot. Perfect!

'They eat in silence, birdsong and water filling the space. There are two whiteclaws and two beers, for variety, the note attached reads. Cold-cut sandwiches and little treats that they didn't buy. Daniel throws his scraps to the birds.'

Checo/Lance

cielito lindo by @piastriachios | T | 3.6k Lance and Checo are teammates - Lance pines. Everything this author writes is simply stunning, and this is no exception. The way they use colour and emotion and metaphor to set the tone is just stunning, and the worlds they create are always so rich and so fun to read. This fic is a love letter to Mexico and to Checo and to Lance and to teammates and to love, in all its forms. I loved this so much.

'In this light, there are not enough shadows for any secrets to hide behind. Not enough creases for fond looks to slip between. Too bright to see the quiet glow of embers, too loud for his mind to kindle them into anything more.'

George/Yuki

nsfw: whatever people say i am, that’s what i’m not by @clownfairy | E | 6.5k George and Yuki navigate their relationship. This is a fantastic fic - the characterisation and dialogue are on point; natural and funny and so very easy to read. The Yuki characiterisation in particular is superb. This pairing and this story just works. One thing I really, really love about this author's writing is their ability to balance humour with emotion. It hits perfectly every time.

'George drops his façade in favor of eyeing Yuki where he’s leaned over the kitchen counter, weight resting on crossed arms. Yuki’s stomach does its George thing, this flutter of embarrassment combined with something else.'

Hanakotoba in Hitomebore (一目惚れ) - Chihayafuru (ちはやふる) ED3

Chihaya Ayase 綾瀬 千早 | Cosmos 宇宙

The Cosmos flower is known as Kosumosu (宇宙) in Japan and typically blooms from June to November. The Cosmos flower's name is derived from the Greek word "Kosmos" meaning harmony and order. This has contributed to the flower coming to symbolise harmony, beauty and peace. The delicate and clean appearance of the Cosmos flower has contributed towards it additionally symbolizing cleanliness, purity, beauty and modesty. The Cosmos flower is also said to represent a maiden's sincerity, heart as well as "the joys that love and life can bring".

Chihaya is best described as a tomboyish, outgoing and ambitious girl who is good-natured, easy-going and straightforward. This fits in with the Cosmos' meanings of harmony, purity and sincerity. She can be described as simple-minded as she is generally relatively absent-minded and oblivious (especially to the feelings of others)—however she remains very optimistic, driven and trusting. This resonates with Cosmos flower representing the heart as well as the "joys that love, and life can bring". Although Chihaya is described as being pretty, fitting in with the flower's meaning of beauty, she is often labeled as a "beauty in vain". This description stems from the fact that her overly energetic attitude and tomboyish behavior doesn't "match" with her looks.

Taichi Mashima 真島 太一 | Red Spider Lily 彼岸花

Lycoris radiata (Red Spider Lily) is called Higanbana (彼岸花) in Japan. This name stems from the flower's flowering period coinciding with the equinoctial week of autumn. The plant's poisonous nature is also speculated to have contributed towards it's name—as "Higan" also means death—as well as its meaning. The Higanbana is said to symbolize death, final goodbyes, lost or sad memories, abandonment and giving up. While the flower mostly bares ominous connotations—its bright, red colour has contributed towards it being considered as auspicious sign and "celestial flower". It thus also represents passion and independence.

While Taichi is viewed by others as a smart, talented and hard-working individual—he is somewhat easily disheartened. When faced with difficult situations, he often under-estimates himself and considers giving up—especially in regard to karuta and his rivalry with Arata. This fits in with the Higanbana's meanings of loss and giving up. However, his confidence grows as he continues to play karuta and he grows into a strong adversary, having gained everything through his own skill and hard work rather than luck. These qualities resonate with the red spider lily's meanings of passion and independence. After confessing his long-standing, romantic feelings for his childhood friend, Chihaya, he quits their school karuta club. This ties in with the flower's meanings of abandonment and parting.

Arata Wataya 綿谷 新 | Wisteria 藤

Wisteria is known as Fuji (藤) in Japan and generally flowers from April to May. The flower is said to mainly symbolize longevity, immortality and nobility in Japanese culture. Wisteria can also represent honour, endurance, wisdom, steadfastness and support. Other meanings include kindness, tenderness and sensitivity. The plant's tendency to grip tightly to trees in order to grow up straight has led to it coming to mean an unwillingness to let go or being drunk in love. 

Arata is best described as being kind, caring, quiet and passionate about playing karuta. This resonates with the flower's meanings of kindness and tenderness. He is incredibly intelligent and serious. Although he is somewhat lacking in confidence is not meek. This fits with Wisteria's meanings of wisdom, steadfastness, support. Arata is shown to be relatively perceptive having figured out Taichi's feelings for Chihaya and although he is Taichi's rival he willingly kept the fact that Taichi tried to sabotage him in their elementary school karuta match a secret from her in order to maintain Taichi's standing in her eyes. This fits in with the flower's meanings of honour, sensitivity, support kindness and tenderness. In the karuta world Arata is somewhat considered nobility as his grandfather was a master which ties in with Wisteria's association with nobility. Despite not getting an answer from Chihaya after his confession, he remains patient and when she later clarifies that she isn't currently focused on love but is instead devoted to karuta; he decides to wait until she is ready declaring that he will "try again". This resonates with Wisteria's meanings of steadfastness, sensitivity and an unwillingness to let go. 

P.S:

Cherry Blossoms are known as Sakura (桜) in Japan and are considered the nation's de facto national flower. The flower is an important part of Japanese culture and thus bares many meanings Generally cherry blossoms are said to represent the gentleness, spiritual beauty and good education. They bloom for an incredibly short period of time anywhere from March to April. Since cherry blossoms bloom after the cold, harsh winter; they herald the coming of spring and represent hope, renewal and optimism. The fleeting yet incredible splendor beauty of this flower has given inspired it's notable meanings of the "acceptance of destiny and karma" as well as the "transience of life".

P.S.S: I left a funny short story about why it took me so long to do this post in the tags but there is a spoiler for the manga about the endgame ship in it ... Also, this is only based on developments in the anime as well as the limited spoilers I've come across—since I haven't read the manga...

[If you liked this post, check out my other hanakotoba analysis posts here ❀ Also, if there's a particular anime, opening or ending—with some flower symbolism in it—that you want me to do a post on, send me an ask and I'll gladly do it if I've seen the show. ]

So, because I’ve been bedridden with influenza and a stomach-ache from hell, I used my time to track down some songs by Keiko Toda (Bo Peep’s Japanese VA) and this one is my favorite so far. It also got my interest on this anime re-ignited after putting off watching it for literal years.

(My grasp on japanese isn’t really half as good as it should be but I TRIED translating this, as I couldn’t find even one translation online. If there is any mistakes, and there’s probably tons, let me know)

We were tossed out by the same one star To this never-ending journey, walking together Sharing together Licking our wounds together, fooling around

My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies

Saying goodbye would be easy I don’t need you to wear yourself out every day Suddenly compassionate  Trying to dry the tears over my dry cheeks

My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies

Someday, I can find it, even after I die Living on, you’ve become sad Let’s love each other Let’s only hang on to the memories

My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies My prayer for you runs across the cosmos and the skies

Spitz Lyrics: Cosmos (コスモス)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

A brilliant goodbye, an eternal goodbye Where’s the motif I once pursued? Up until today I searched the desert, despite never coming across any mirages

My beat-up sports car hobbles to the beach where we made plans to meet An afternoon spent doing the backstroke on my own I’ve felt so buoyant every since the day I warmed your cold hands

That fall day, I watched you stand in the whispering light Cosmos, quivering in bloom with the lonely midday moon And western winds... I can’t come back to them, ever again

A brilliant goodbye, an eternal goodbye Where’s the motif I once pursued? Up until today I searched the desert, despite never coming across any mirages

If only you were alive, and the autumn skies were the way they were that day Cosmos, quivering in bloom with the faint midday moon And western winds... I can’t come back to them, ever again

A brilliant goodbye, an eternal goodbye Where’s the motif I once pursued? Up until today I searched the desert, despite never coming across any mirages

秋桜[Kosumosu] Cosmos bipinnatus

秋[Aki] : Autumn

桜[-zakura|Sakura] : Cherry blossom

That kanji is 当て字[Ateji] for Cosmos. It is usually read as "Akizakura" and is an alias for it. This plant is also called 大波斯菊[Ooharushagiku].

It is native to Mexico and was introduced in the early Meiji period (1868-1912). Despite this, it has already become a part of the Japanese autumn landscape and is also an autumn season word in haiku.

By the way, there is a song entitled "Cosmos" and became popular in 1970's. (It has good lyrics, but unfortunately, the song in the following link has no English subtitle) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1O3ON3lDNsc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihon_no_Uta_Hyakusen
