Ahri, Her Lover, and Flowers

I really loved the story of Ahri and her lover that just got posted. Something went off in my head when I read it, though.

[One...]

Flowers were a huge point in the story, obviously. Ahri was in a magical garden that could take memories (slightly ironic, considering this is what Ahri had been doing to others for so long). But more importantly, her lover was someone who painted flowers, even going so far as to paint a blossom on Ahri's back.

[Two...]

Someone who had a crazy, illogical love of towards a monster, seeing beauty where others only saw fear or destruction. And Ahri destroyed him.

[Three...]

But what if she hadn't fully KILLED him? What if he somehow survived the incident, his body and memories a fragmented, twisted version of their former selves? A man who had found beauty in monsters before, and his only remaining memories being how much he loved flowers...and the four fangs that had descended upon him to end his life.

[FOUR!]

"In carnage, I bloom, like a flower in the dawn." "I'm misunderstood. Beauty can't be evil."
