Juniper Montage and Wallflower Blush get together in the local park for a walk. That's all.
...okay, maybe Wallflower might have asked to see Juniper for a special reason. And maybe they both need to get their minds off of crippling past regrets and relationship uneasiness.
But for now? Just walking.
Part of the Montage Cinematic Universe.
Cover art by Bevin Brand (lineart) and Shaxbert (colors).
Depending on however the heck personal symbols work in this world, that could be an incredibly intimate gesture in and of itself...
In any case, magnificent Bookish goodness throughout. Thank you for some fantastic character interaction and refutation of Hollywood romance in favor of something more meaningful.
I don't normally dig into relationship fics, but that cover art is too adorable for me to resist. Bring on the wholesomeness!
I like the prose at the beginning of the chapter. Whimsical and serves its purpose of good pacing well.
The dialogue later is cute and very purposeful. Liking it.
Onto the next!
Like the story about Weird Al er Cheese Sandwich. 'Good natured comedian' is probably the best way to describe him.
All of this talk of winter beauty is making me hope we actually get some snow in my state this year.
Some Equestrian magic shenanigans are afoot.
Daws at the last part. Juniper is helping Wallflower see her as an equal instead of lesser than her.
Surprised nothing happened with the constantly regrowing plants, but not every story needs a threat. This one did just fine with its cuteness and saucy but not too saucy ending. Nicely done!
Okay, Wallflower and Juniper are super cute right now.
Okay, that was really sweet. Wallflower using her girl's namesake as the keystone for her newest garden was really lovely. And their frank discussion about what it meant to be in a relationship. Really, beautiful.
Small botanical nitpick: junipers are a type of conifer. As such, they don't blossom since they don't make flowers. Juniper "berries" are the seed bearing cones. Think a tiny, soft, fleshy pinecone, like such.

Naicu. I know what I'm reading at lunch tomorrow. Nice to see you back here.
Did you commission that piece from Bevin?
> sees lack of Romance tag
> sees synopsis and some comments
> is suspicious
What's deadly about living in a greenhouse?
I used to visit the conservatory in January quite a bit. Just sitting in the fern room and taking in the warm, humid, oxygenated air is quite a relief from the nostril-scabbing dry, freezing air of midwinter.
Cue the dramatic Lady Snowblood-esque jidaigeki wide-shot. Or maybe Ikiru homage.

Or maybe just a Narnia fan-short.
Starcolts, I love it 😻
And that you didn’t go Starbucks, small detail but really takes me out a story when people name actually places by their irl names
Wait, was this implying that they’re both asexual? Funny story, I mentioned this ship and the responce was thinking they were both such ^^’
I didn’t know death was a risk in a greenhouse.
Phone-friendly gloves?
Wait, are they in college?
What does that mean?
What had just happened?
So, she started a snowball to get to the destination faster?
Why?
Gift-of-gab?
What does that mean?
?
Tapdancing right on the line between super romantic and super stalkery XD Fortunately it just comes out as adorable.
Don't panic Wallflower, I get the anxiety but it'll be okay.
And I totally empathize with the outdoor nature thing. I need to find some good non-overcrowded nature spots in the city now it's fall.
So why is this not tagged romance again? Want to make sure I tag correctly as I can for the reading
It’s done ^^’ sorry for the dry run, but felt proud enough to try jt

Of course
Curious to hear what you think in my own comment section if you got time
Also, don’t suppose you could also spread the love around by letting your fans know via a blog or something
Also, I never heard back why this story isn’t marked as romance, so I marked the reading as such hoping it wouldn’t be a big deal
