Summary: Gaara has a suspiciously green thumb. Lee’s just a guy who’s good with his hands. When Lee comes into Gaara’s garden shop looking for help with his dying plant, sparks fly.

GaaLee Festival 2019:Every Way I Could Love You August 19th-September 3rd Week 1: August 19th-August 25th AUs Week 2: August 26th-September 1st Tropes Final Wrap-Up: September 2nd & 3rd WIPs art by @gaypumpkinqueen 

Summer is fast approaching and that means it’s time for another GaaLee Fest! For this summer’s GaaLee Fest, we’re revisiting the event that was--due to my personal life--canceled! If you’d wanted to participate last year and were sadly disappointed by the cancelation of the event, well now is your chance! Like last year there will be no sign-ups and prompts will not be first-come first-serve. Instead, this is a bit of a free-for-all event, similar to a shipping or character week where people simply post their piece on the prompt’s specific day. You can do as many prompts as you want, as many times as you want! The GaaLee fandom is still growing (and we have seen A LOT of growth this year), so this is just another fun way to encourage content creation! From now until the posting dates, people who wish to participate have plenty of time to create their content, be that fanfiction or fanart! 

For this event, the very first prompt is keeping with the theme from the first GaaLee Week of from last year: the infamous GaaLee fight! The dates for this event were chosen, once again, for the airing/publishing dates of the fight in English and Japanese! However, the rest of the event focuses on AUs and tropes with the final wrap up being dedicated to finishing up old projects and creating new content! It’s a great way to keep yourselves inspired! As usual, you should follow @puregaalee and #gaaleefest19 for any updates, and to see all the wonderful content once posting begins! There is plenty of time to get started on your ideas, and if you have any questions please send me a message or ask!!! If you would like to have a group of people to help motivate you, bounce ideas off of, etc, message @sagemoderocklee or @ghoste-catte for acces to the Official PureGaaLee Discord!

Below the cut are the prompts and rules!

Prompts Week 1: AUs (August 19th-August 25th) Day 1: Lee Wins/AU of Gaara vs Lee Fight Day2: Hogwarts AU Day 3: Coffee Shop/Bakery AU Day 4: Flower Shop AU Day 5: High School/College AU Day 6: Fantasy/Fairy Tale AU Day 7: Post-Apocalypse AU Week 2: Tropes (August 26th-September 1st) Day 8: Fake Dating/Married Day 9: Reincarnation Day 10: Mutual Pining Day 11: Battle Couple Day 12: Accidental Confession Day 13: Love Redeems Day 14: Pick your own! Final Wrap Up: WIPs (September 2nd & 3rd) Day 15: Complete a long overdue WIP! Day 16: Start a long overdue project!

Late posting begins September 4th!

As with ship weeks, each day of the week has a specific theme and should be used to create content, be that art or fic. Post as many variations of your AUs and tropes as you want! If you want to do multiple pieces, that’s awesome!

For the final warp up on September 2nd and 3rd, the prompts are much broader. These final two days are designed to inspire and encourage you to finish old projects and start new ones, so it’s not prompt specific. If you have a WIP that’s been sitting for months or even years, pull it out and get to work! You can use Day 15 as your deadline to complete your piece by, but if you can’t finish it by then, at least you’ve made progress! And if you want to post a preview so that you’re posting something, go for it! Day 16 is similar, except this is to inspire you to start something you’ve been thinking about forever. That idea that’s been just an idea... well it’s time to make it a reality! Again, you can use Day 16 as your deadline for publication or you can post a preview of what you’re working on!

Rules 1. Be respectful of everyone. There will be no bashing of art, fics, or fellow participants. If you don’t like something someone has created that is non-offensive (homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc), then simply ignore the content. Disagreeing with headcanons or portrayals of characters, not liking someone’s art or writing style is no excuse to be mean. If this rule is broken, then you will be blocked and banned from future fests.

2. No underage content. If you draw or write a story about Gaara and Lee featuring them as children or teens, then you cannot make it sexual in nature. These characters are adults now, so if you want to include mature content, the characters must also be adults. Any background pairings may not contain adult/minor relationships. If you are a minor, you are not allowed to create NSFW content regardless of the characters’ age. (See Rule 6).

3. No transmisogyny/transphobia, racism, homophobia, misogyny, ableism, etc. If you are unclear on this, feel free to message me.

4. No rape, sexual assault, etc content will be accepted. Non-con, dub-con, and whatever terms fandom uses to downplay these things are not accepted in this event. If you have a piece that features a character coping with sexual assault, that is entirely different. This rule is specifically in reference to stories or art that depict sexual assault in romantic or glorified fashions, so for example no ABO. 

5. No seme/uke nonsense. This should be obvious, but unfortunately the issue of yaoi is still prevalent enough in fandom that it needs to be said. Message me if you have any questions about this.

6. Minors are allowed to participate, but may not contribute any NSFW content.

7. In light of recent fandom trends, if your depiction of Rock Lee invokes any sort of racist caricatures it will not be shared and you will be band from future events. If Lee is hyper masculine (ie big and beefy), dark skinned, and his features are hyper exaggerations of ethnic features your art will not be accepted. The flip-side of this is that if Gaara is hyper feminine, you will also not be allowed to participate. These two examples are extrapolations on Rule 3 and in some ways Rule 5 to avoid any confusion. If you have questions about this, you are welcome to message me. 

8. Do not post your piece until the day of! If you finish early, you still need to wait! If you are late to post on the assigned day, please wait until after the initial fest is over on September 4th! If you do not see your post reblogged to @puregaalee message the blog or send an ask off anon! Tumblr’s tagging system is heinous as we all know! 

9. Follow the prompt. Prompts are guides, but they still allow for creativity. If you feel bogged down, please message me.

10. No plagiarism.

Again, if you have any questions, please feel free to message me! My askbox is always open! Please reblog this post to get the word around!!!!  @narutoevents

Gaara's new flower shop—a dream he's funneled every last cent of his trust into—brings him more than he could have ever hope for: from his sister finding a business partner, to his brother finally overcoming his issues with intimacy, to more customers than he can handle, the shop is a booming success. But there's one thing the shop brings into his life that he never thought it would: unexpected, unrequited romance.

Incredibly late submission for @puregaalee ‘s GaaLee Fest for the prompt Flower Shop AU! This will only be a three chaptered piece, and I’m expecting to get the next update out in a few weeks!
