I love the flower talk. And Aspen's sweet reassurances
Flash Fiction Friday #94: Riveting Revival
Thanks for the prompt, @flashfictionfridayofficial!
I couldn’t not write about Aspen for this prompt, so have a Stray Spirit post-climax snippet, where Aspen is hanging out at the Karic house. I also somehow wound up in Tessa’s POV (Emry’s mother) for this, and it was a lot of fun.
Winter Garden
Word Count: 488
TW/CW: snow
Tessa Karic chewed on her thumbnail as she stood on the back stoop of her house, squinting out at the withered remains of her winter garden. She supposed it was a blessing that last night’s snowfall hid most of the desolation from view, but the sun glaring against the white banks still made it difficult, almost painful, to look at.

I concur. That is the softest thing you've drawn. Sorry Aspen, these two are just too cute together!!!
[ID: a three-panel comic. Two men (Ambrose, left, and Eli, right) are lying on a pink checkered blanket. A box of strawberries are to the left, with half-eaten strawberries scattered around. In the first panel, both men are looking at the sky and smiling. In the second panel, Ambrose closes his eyes, and Eli looks at him. In the third panel, Eli touches Ambrose’s cheek, and Ambrose tilts his head into the back of Eli’s hand. end ID]

Thank you, @47crayons and @writeblrfantasy for the idea! This is officially the softest thing I’ve ever drawn. Please don’t tell Aspen.
