A quick heads-up for ya'll. Hanahaki disease:Based off the manga, hanahaki otome, is a disease birthed from one-sided love. From what I understand, surgical removal(not sure where or what you'd be removing exactly-seeds?Roots?) can help 'cure' you, except, all your feelings for said person will be gone. I'm not sure, however, I believe that working out your feelings (or perhaps only when the other person ends up liking you back and you both work out your feelings) may also cure you. If i'm wrong about this last part, well...i guess it will be a little twist in my fanfic. If anyone can confirm this for me, please do tell me, preferably through p.m. That's all for now. thx for reading!

The crows are whispering secrets again my love, they're telling me the woos of our fairytale-the hunter and the prince and the wicked witch who stole their heart. Not that you could blame her. She was our princess after all. (But then..but then…)

it seems we've fallen for a wicked trap

They're upset now. I've interrupted their story-thinking about you. Damn crows, as if I didn't already know! What more would they expect, they're speaking of you, are they not?!

shhh...

your chariot awaits still deary-

the end has yet to come.

I close my eyes, let myself revel in the alabaster-dreams of youyouyou-her-you, because through her, I see you. Chocolate-brown hair, ruby-stained eyes, they're gleaming with something I don't understand. But then, I do. They're screaming at me to stop-stopstop the pain, the madness, you want your heart back-and so do I.

she took your heart-

and swallowed it whole

gave you an apple in its place

your chest begins to rot

I'm throwing up the apple dear-the seeds are missing, though, they're planted in my lungs. Yours too.

Perhaps that's why i'm thinking of you-except-

"Cra-caw!"

They're loud, shattering my ears. I don't wanna hear our tale anymore.

So while my delicate fingers go down my throat, hoping to pick up the seeds, I feel a growing root and realize i'm too late.

Your porcelain-soft skin, the ashen look of death on your face-heartless, soulless, why do you take her place in my mind?

Could it be, i find your hatred for me...admirable? nah. It rather disgusts me.

I'm drowning in your flitting emotions-you in mine.

There is something about the glow in your look, the stride in each step, that has me spiralling downwards in maddening descent, heading towards the rabbit hole-i'm cursed to follow the crow's dance. And you're my partner. Somehow though, it's for the queen of hearts-because she's the apple of our eye. Side-stepping in our dance, only, she continues on, never to look back in that precious-white dress.

the prince

the knight

who will she choose?

There is a silent understanding between you and i-protect the princess, the crow's witch as the flock called her(ours). Protect at all costs!

This must be the part of the story when the roots began to grow, when asphyxiation became reality.

too bad we plucked her eyes

now she'll never know

and neither will you

I don't love you darling-you feel the same, i'm sure(lies).

So then…

why do I feel despair when thoughts of you arise?

cold-pity when you look down at me-it burns harshly through my crystal-veins, i hate it.

Still...you feel something for me, something that's anything but hatred. It seems she didn't take all of your heart after .

clip a butterfly's wings,

but we left her fangs

drip

drop

let her taste your blood

Somedays you look at me, sneering, and others, I can feel the sympathy radiating off your aura and i can't despise it like i should.

We fell for the same witch's trap-we were bound to see each other, even if we could taste the other's destruction on our tongues.

that's when the roots continue flourishing.

and now-i'm coughing up roses-only for you dear.

this is just the beginning, this much i know.

what a happy ending, wouldn't you agree?

I continue listening to the crow's fairytale.

Whatever happened to the queen, i do wonder...all i see is her other half now( all i see is you)

funny, weren't roses by any other name just as sweet?

"cra-kaw!"

It's past 5 a.m. in the morning and while working on my other story that was taking too long to get to the good part, I managed to (of course) hit writers block and decided to do some short drabbles/one-shots if you will. Hate the anime, it was terrible. Went from shipping Kaname and Yuki to Yuki and zero(somewhat) to screw Yuki, it should have been Kaname and Zero! They hate each other like hell, i'm aware. That's also what I love about fanfics, even if i can't pull it off, someone somewhere always manages to properly explore possibilities in stories that might otherwise seem at first-ridiculous, thus largely overlooked. It's not impossible to write a realistic romance between Zero and Kaname, just really hard( NOT impossible!). Tell me what you guys think? Was it super-confusing? In a good way? Bad way? I'm a shitty writer, I know, but practice makes perfect? Or perhaps, i'm riddled with an excessive amount of self-doubt, hmmm...Gotta say though, i'm proud of the number of fairy-tales i managed to weave into this short piece without meaning to. Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what i wrote. I am but then i'm not. This was literally just my head sweeping out whatever mess was in there for too long. I don't make any promises but the plan is to hopefully write more of these pieces in the future. Reviews/comments ?
