First of all, from the depths of my little green Plantsci heart, I want to say how much I love the title of this - and the little drawing at the end!
There are so many sweet and funny moments in this, brought out beautifully by the illustrations throughout; your Horace is just soooo cute! Xiommara and Horace make an interesting couple - not one that I have seen before (Hooch often seems to be written as a lesbian!), but one that works really well here, as they playfully try to out-do each other. Firenze/Sybill and Poppy/Severus are great too and I love the line patching up a mostly dead reptile for to release it into the wild.
