Femslashficlets table: The Language of Flowers (complete)
Yeah, so I let actual voting on the latest ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
femslashficlets table pass me by, and even then, I would’ve voted on "90s songs."
Anyway, without digging myself into a bigger hole, I decided to claim this table so I could write Call the Midwife fic. This could all change! But for the moment I’ve claimed Patsy/Delia. Fills in threaded comments, I guess.
Update, January 7: It is done. It’ll take me a while to format this for AO3, but I’ll mark the claim as complete in a couple of days at the comm.
