Beautiful story. It was lovely seeing Pomona through Poppy's eyes; I've always been rather fond of the both of them. The way you described love was excellent and seemed fitting of Poppy's point of view. Pomona as the wild one delighted me! You dealt with the darkness well too, which is a difficulty and well worth the compliment - entwining love and darkness is a difficult feat, but certainly necessary to get through the latter. Excellent work!
