Flower Shop AUs 💐

Person A owns a flower shop and Person B comes in so many times to buy flowers that Person A thinks they must be quite the Casanova.

Most people come in without having any clue on what they actually want. And some people know exactly what they want.

Flowers are often used for photo shoots and Person A gets hired to arrange the flowers for one, but they can’t help getting nervous around the model, Person B.

The employees had a fun game to pass the time. If someone bought a big bouquet and it wasn’t around Valentine’s Day, they love to come up with ideas on how that person messed up, to warrant an apology like this.

Person A is definitely petty enough to use the language of flowers to mess with rude and ignorant customers by giving them the absolute wrong flowers for the occasion.

Person A’s flower shop has a small café in it and it has become the meeting point for the locals to drink tea and gossip.

Person A is very good at making flower arrangements and they love their small shop. But they’re not a natural business person and so they hire Person B to help them keep their shop open.

Giving flowers to someone who owns a flower shop is not that easy.

At the market, they always have their stalls right next to each other. Person A sells beautiful flowers and Person B sells delicious fruits. And sometimes they sneak a small gift over to the seller next door.

Person A loves to help their customers out, but when Person B drops in more than once a week to ask questions about the plants they have and new ones they want to buy and they don’t seem to know a lot about botany, Person A feels like they soon have to ask Person B where they live, so that they can do a wellness check on their plants.

How do i write a character who just got wings and getting used to them

How to write a character who just got wings

The extent on what happens depends on the span of the wings and if they can retract them. Some general ideas you can build on are:

1. Physical Sensations and Adjustment

Immediate sensations:

Weight or shift in balance, large wings pull the center of gravity backward.

Muscle soreness in the back/shoulders, especially along new muscle groups.

Hyper-awareness of the wings brushing against objects or catching air.

Itchiness or sensitivity if the wings "grew" recently.

Movement challenges:

Misjudging the wingspan and knocking things over.

Falling backwards because of the weight.

Learning how to fold them, awkward, slow, maybe painful at first.

Retraction (if possible) could feel like tensing very deep muscles or like closing a fist behind your back.

2. Clothing and Practical Issues

Clothing must be modified with slits, stretchy backs, or specialized harnesses. Jackets especially are a pain in the ass.

Backpacks don't really work anymore.

Sleeping becomes complicated, lying flat may be impossible.

Washing and grooming: preening feathers, drying membranes, accidental shedding, etc. maybe they need someone else to help them with this.

3. Emotional and Psychological Reactions

Internal:

Awe, excitement, disbelief, fear, claustrophobia (from a suddenly bigger body).

Feeling "larger than life" or feeling like a burden/monster depending on tone.

Social:

Depends on the worldbuilding and if this is a normal occurrence or not.

People stare, doors are narrower than they remembered, chairs become inpractible

Friends may react with fascination, jealousy, fear, or awkwardness.

4. Sensory Changes

Wings have nerves. Touch may be pleasant, ticklish, or painful.

Wind sensitivity, your character can feel air currents like a sixth sense.

Temperature issues: feathers insulate, membrane wings may get cold easily.

5. Learning to Use the Wings

Pre-flight:

Figuring out how to flare, beat, and angle them.

Overworking the muscles, leading to cramps.

Instinct vs. trial-and-error, do they feel intuitive or alien to the character?

First attempts at flight:

Running starts, panic flapping, short glides, messy crash landings.

Realizing flight requires technique (lifting angle, timing, wing power), not just force.

6. Realistic Physical Consequences of Flight

Flight demands big caloric intake, your character may become constantly hungry.

Stronger chest/back muscles develop, posture shifts.

Calluses or pads on feet if landing involves impact.

7. Daily Life & Worldbuilding

Will buildings accommodate large-winged beings?

Are wings common or unique? Does society have norms (wing etiquette)?

How does weather matter? Rain makes feathers heavy, wind can blow them sideways.

Also: If Wings Are Retractable

Retraction might feel like compressing or tucking away something huge, which may cause soreness or a sense of phantom wings when retracted.

Retraction could consume energy or rely on magic/technology.

There may be a risk of malfunction or partial transformation.

Retracting them can mess with the feathers, needing support to care for them when opened up again.

Hope this helps!

Reactions to... the other being jealous

"Aww, you don't have to be jealous."

"Do I detect some jealousy there?"

"You don't have anything to worry about."

"I'm yours, remember?"

"Don't be jealous. There is no reason for that."

"I kind of enjoy you being like this."

"Is it bad that I like your jealousy a tiny bit?"

"I feel really flattered."

"Why did you act like that?"

"This is not like you. What's going on?"

"Oh, jealousy looks good on you."

"You're not allowed to be jealous. Not after everything that happened."

"Promise me you will talk to me next time, ok?"

"Stop it. You have nothing to worry about."

"Jealousy is a normal feeling. Just don't let it consume you."
