Summary
Plants are living creatures too – they feel pain, they feel joy. They have purposes and importance. But what can a tiny, sentient rose do, if it loses all of its purpose and importance? Can it find that again – can it find its family, or create a new one?

Summary
Here, now, love was flowing in abundance. It was all around, brightening the stars on this clear night, thrumming in the eager voices of the audience, ready to lift the soul from despair. It was surrounding the Crown Prince himself, illuminated by golden light onstage, gilding him– enclosing him–
Xie Lian, who was sitting at the grand piano, its black surface polished to a nightmarish shine, with hands frozen over the keys and a deadweight in his gut– Xie Lian, who was realizing–
He couldn’t do this.
___Nearly a decade has passed since the disastrous night that marked the end of Xie Lian's career as a classical pianist before it had even begun. Now, having withdrawn from society almost completely, Xie Lian works as a piano instructor out of his studio apartment, nurturing a private love for music that has endured several lonely years.
When a new student enters his world in the form of the striking and mischievous San Lang, Xie Lian is happy enough at the prospect of a friend- yet, as their relationship blooms alongside the ongoing spring, he will come to face the complexity of more bonds than one: that of his mysterious new companion, and of the creative passion he thought lost forever.

The High Cost of Freedom by This_world_of_beautiful_monsters

Summary
So, this is the first I've ever been able to turn in fanfiction (albeit fringe fanfiction) for a class and my teacher says this is one of the only assignments she's ever read that made her smile. It's not a very smile-y work, I suppose, but I thought I'd put it out here anyway.
All of the quotes come from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass except for the last one (the one about the universal definition of a slave), Lose Your Mother by Saidiya Hartman.
