Hey! (I'm una-luz-puesta but I'm on anon because I can only use my main to send asks)
For the short prompt thing I've had this au idea for awhile. It's a variation on the "one owns a flower shop right next to the other who owns a tattoo shop" but extended to include the triad so Anne owns the flower shop, Sasha owns the tattoo shop, and Marcy owns a bookshop, all on the same street/ block. I was wondering if you could do a short drabble of sashanarcy in this au?
Thanks if you do, no prob if you don't
@una-luz-puesta you get a long one because nobody else has sent me a prompt today! I hope you like it.

"Roses are boring."
Anne looked across the shop at the other woman, pausing as she tried to figure out how to reply to this statement. The customer pushed a lock of golden hair out of her eyes, leaning forward on the counter as she stared at Anne, brown eyes locked with hers as she continued to speak.
"Everybody gets roses. And I mean, like, everybody. Rose this, rose that, show off that I love love, love roses, put some roses around my boyfriend's name that I'll come in crying about and asking for a coverup of in a month. I'm sick to death of roses."
"What," Anne said, her mind very set on trying to ask this question and not getting distracted by the blonde stranger's toned arms, "are you looking for, then?" She had matching sword tattoos running down her forearms, Anne observed, and then slapped a hand to her face internally.
"I dunno." The blonde woman shrugged. "Y'know. Love and stuff, I guess. Attraction? Interest? I want to practice more flowers than just roses. I can tattoo a rose in my sleep. I figure I just moved in next door, and you've got the hookup, neighbor, so I can buy some from you."
"Right," said Anne, her ears definitely not burning under her hair, "well, I can show you some flowers." She turned to the array of flowers arrayed around the shop, all trimmed and prepped and shining with a rainbow of colors. She hesitated, then crossed the store, retrieving a long stemmed, tall, pink clutch of blossoms, and a clipping of stark purple buds.
"This one's called a Gladioli, or a sword lily." Anne slipped it into a small vase on the counter, staring at the stem as she watched the stranger raise an eyebrow out of the corner of her eye. "It means strength, and honesty... you can use it to admit your crush on someone, too." She looked back over at the other girl, watching a smile split her face.
"Yeah? That sounds pretty cool." She leaned forward on an elbow, one hand coming to her chin, her eyes going to the flowers Anne was still holding. "And what about those?"
Her eyes crinkle up when she smiles. Anne drew in a breath. Holy shit, girl, get it together. She's just asking about flowers. She held up the stark purple star-shaped blossoms with a gesture that looked a lot more confident than she felt.
"These are bellflowers. They mean - attractiveness, gratitude - everlasting love. And sometimes people plant them on graves."
The woman laughed, a peal of bright sound among the greenery of the shop. "Oh, metal. I love that."
