Round 1: Hanahaki Disease vs. 5 + 1

Hanahaki:

Typically, flowers grow in a person's lungs if they experience unrequited love, and this usually requires treatment or removal surgery if the love remains unrequited, though variations on this concept can be made!

5 + 1

typically of the format "5 times ___ happened, and 1 time ____ happened instead", this is a short and fun format that can lead to some great fics

(read fics that people submitted)

Hmm I choose...

Hanahaki

5 + 1
