FK Fanfic: "Fireweed"
"Fireweed" is my longest story to date. (To my surprise, "In the Light of Day" falls short by 11,000 words!)
This alternate universe diverges during the "Be My Valentine" flashbacks with Janette bringing Fleur across, and then parallels canon, asking what would have been different had Fleur been there. I named the story for Epilobium angustifolium, a particular flower species [Fleur] that thrives in the aftermath of wildfires ["Ashes to Ashes"] in northern climates [Toronto].
