    Summary

    Snow melts, revealing growing flower buds, as if whispering that Spring is coming.

    The same happens inside Ivan's lungs, creating a garden of his own making. He could try to push it away, to curse the roots that take hold, but he does no such thing. Instead, he gathers them close, simply hugging all that matters near his chest, accepting things as they are.

    i liked this so much!! i think it was the best characterization of ivan i've read so far!! loved his whole dilemma with being alive, not understanding what others want from him + i think it was great to show how he was different from the people who had not been raised as pets, by having him not know certain words / expressions!
    overall, i enjoyed this fic sooooo much <3 loved the way ivan and till got together and the way they cared sm for each other <3
    10/10 with a flute orchestra, professional dancers and a fireworks showing at the end!
