Before I get too far with this, here's the deal:
This is something I've always wanted to do: write a story in flowers. I have a story outline and I have list of flowers, but right now, it's messy. Very messy. I'm hoping that eventually all the jagged pieces will align into a perfectly plotted whole of KakaIru goodness. My brain doesn't work that way, though. So in the interim, I'll post flowers as the stories occur to me. Which means that in the long run, I'm likely to shuffle chapters around, add bits in the middle and generally make a mess of this while it's WiP. If you are cool with this experimental approach, thank you so much! You're my kind of KakaIru crowd. Please let me know what you think, suggest flowers or plants that remind you of Iruka or Kakashi and just have fun along with me and my Muse. If my approach offends you, or irritates you, please find something else to read while this is a work in progress. There are lots of wonderful KakaIru fics on this site and I wouldn't like you to miss out on some real gems just because you don't like what I'm trying to do here. Kakashi and Iruka are a wonderful pairing. Don't walk away from them, just because you don't like what I write.The story
Iruka has a secret admirer who leaves flowers or drawings on his desk. While he tries to figure out the identity of this individual - and he's really in no hurry to do so as he enjoys the surprises that much - he is sent on a mission that goes severely sideways. Iruka is captured and imprisoned. He keeps himself sane by thinking about his "secret admirer" and his/her gifts. Eventually, Iruaka realises that each flower has a meaning; and he understands those meanings a lot quicker than he cane work out who actually places the drawings and flowers on his desk.
