Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
Simon was, as usual, hard at work in the garden. Ryland had known that--Simon had told him that morning, after bringing him breakfast and kissing him on the cheek and making Ryland promise not to spend all day at his desk. The greenhouse was also kept more humid than the rest of the biodome. Ryland also knew this--the point of the greenhouse was to give the plants the best possible environment to grow while letting the rest of the biodome stay at a comfortable temperature and humidity for the two humans. The xenonite walls trapped heat and moisture inside, giving the plants inside the best shot at sprouting. Ryland knew all of this, very well, in fact, but knowing was not nearly enough to prepare Ryland for the sight outside the kitchen window.
aka: ryland gets so turned on by seeing Simon work that he needs to get fucked right there in the garden

Summary
But Simon doesn’t need the promise of an eternal garden just to find meaning in all the suffering.
He has no use for The Grove, not when he has his orchard and his garden and a home he can call his own, filled with harmonious choruses of Brothers and Sisters and Family that see him as their own.
He has no need for something better when he has the single greatest thing he has ever managed to hold onto holding him like he is the one thing he can’t live without.
--
Simon Grace spends a quiet morning in bed with his husband.
