My Rosebud Boy

GAHHHHHHH! SNOWBAZ!

I was gifted a "free" au Snowbaz short story when I purchased Rainbow Rowell's "Scattered Showers" through Rainbow's local, independently-owned bookstore. Totally. Worth. It. (obviously) 

And the au? Tattoo shop/flower shop? What could be better?! 

This story was fucking perfect. I don't think it could be improved in any way. It read like a fabulous fanfiction (in the good way, mind you). It called back to the original trilogy in many ways, it stayed true to the characters and their personalities, it made fun of (in a fond way) many of our favorite things. It was fucking glorious. 

I've always been fascinated by flower and the language of flowers and how flower arrangments match in a un-matchy kinda way. This was that. I've also always been fascinated by tattoos and themed-tattoos from people you trust. This was that.

There was bantering and glaring and miscommunications and dead-mother-club mentions and soggy chips and secret mutual pining and self-development. It was just....so fucking good.

Also, very jealous of Simon's tattoos (the one's Baz did/fixed). And all of the flowers Baz got (from Simon).

Now that I've read two new Snowbaz stories this evening...I'm literally buzzing.
