Summary
There is little in life that spurs about Prince Ritsuka’s joy. Between the pressure of being royalty and the choking lack of freedom, Ritsuka has well given up on dreaming of anything he truly desires. Not even the grand royal ball set for his 20th birthday can keep him spirited.
To make matters worse, Ritsuka does not have a say in the arrangement of his birthday ball—or so seems to be the case, until he is entrusted with a single decision: choosing a singer for the orchestra. And yet, Ritsuka is hardly elated with this freedom, because he has never liked music in the first place.
But on a fateful evening, Ritsuka sneaks out of his chambers. With the solitude he is finally granted, he roams the palace with no particular reason in mind. Then, from somewhere within the dark night, he hears someone sing.
And that is the beginning of the story—the story of flowers.

Summary
A café in Machida bustled with energy, packed with people amazed with the excellent food and live shows. The townsfolk saw it as an easy stop, to relax or hang out with friends, but everyone failed to notice the boy who sat in the corner.
Pale-faced and dark-eyed, not making a sound, Mafuyu only goes to the small table for one in the corner. Away from all eyes and all minds, he’d sit, drink the smallest coffee they have to offer, and leave just as quietly as he came. He never interacts with anyone spare one or two staff members, and he intends to keep it that way.
But on a fateful day, Mafuyu enters the café to see it as crowded as can be, and his table in the corner is taken. Left with no choice but to sit at a large table in the middle of the place, he tells himself it'll all be over soon. Until three people are forced to share the table with him, and they are none other than the band that attracts majority of customers. Louder, giddier, and more spirited, they are the polar opposite of everything that defines Mafuyu.
Could the clashing of the two different worlds change Mafuyu’s life? Will it help him break free from the shackles of his past—or will it destroy all he has left?

Summary
For all of his life, Mafuyu Sato has been punished, been abused, and been tormented, all because of a diagnosis of autism being thrust upon him at the tender age of four, all because of something that he could not control in the slightest, all because of a mistake in his mind's wiring. His brain is a curse, and he knows that like the back of his hand, whatever that weird idiom means. Nobody has found out his horrifying secret; nobody can, otherwise his surprisingly satisfactory skills as a singer will be overshadowed by the life-changing diagnosis, and everyone in Given will force him to leave the band... No one wants a disabled guitarist anyway, according to a mountain of ableism that had built over the years of psychological torture. Only neurotypicals can survive in this world, and Mafuyu had been dead ever since that stupid condition slipped out of the dumb doctor's mouth...
But, on one fateful day, at an orchestra that Akihiko invites the band to, Mafuyu realises that his mind may not be a malfunctioned mess, especially not when Uenoyama begins to have a sensory overload during the concert.

Summary
After everything with Yuki's song, with Uenoyama coming out, the boys find themselves in the future. They've managed to create a world between them where they are truly happy and comfortable together, and this is them living in it.
Part of my Winter Isn't So Scary series! This one can largely be read as a one shot, but I think the character development is really poignant when you read the whole thing, and there are references to previous works throughout.

Uenoyama POV
"His phone was buzzing, perhaps that's what woke him up, and he reached for it with a single open eye.
"What" his voice sounded raspy and low, clearing his throat with a wince.
"Uenoyama kun" his heart fluttered and his stomach jumped hearing his boyfriend's soft voice, "are you awake?"
"I am now. It's everything alright?"
"Yeah, it's just…" the doubt in his voice made him open both eyes, his whole attention now focused on the person at the other side of the speaker, "could you come to my place? I have cramps and they are really bad, can't move"."

Summary
Making bad notes is part of learning. You make a bad note, you shift your fingers around, you try again.
Mafuyu takes a deep breath, on days where it feels like the bad notes pile up at his feet, and then he tries again.
