Flowers and Ferns

Description

Wheein and Hwasa come from two different worlds, but their relationship forces both sides to reconsider their differences. A fairytale. 

Foreword

This story is inspired by a French film called Ernest and Celestine. It doesn't follow the plot, but only its broadest themes of difference and embracing differences. 

This story attempts to follow in the traditions of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, Angela Carter, and many others. As a simply told fairy tale, I encourage you to paint the world with your imagination as you see fit. 

My inspiration for this story, aside from that wonderful, wonderful movie, is Wheesa's love. My personal wish is for everyone to experience the kind of enduring love that Wheesa shares in any form--romantic, platonic, familial, whatever floats your boat. 

Wheesa love makes the world a better place :)

Chapter 1: I enjoyed this story. I like it's message because societal prejudice has been an issue in the past, and is an issue even now.

Chapter 1: As a dog person, the dogs in this story make me sad ;~; But I'm glad in the end everything worked out. The cats and dogs made peace and Wheein and Hwasa got to live together on the river ;~;

I really like the setting--made me think of Florence for some reason, with that bridge that has all the shops on it?
