Hana Appreciation Week Day 5: Family - Friendship - Romance

For the last day of Hana Appreciation Week, I chose Romance so I could draw my MC Krystal Lee (Used to be Cristalle, but I'm changing the way it's spelled out) and yes, I HC that my MC took Hana's last name when they got married 🥰

One of my HCs for Krystal is that she started to dislike the spotlight on her because she feels like they don't give enough credit/spotlight to her wonderful wife so each time she would get that spotlight, she would mention how wonderful Hana is each time and Hana is always blushing each time! My MC really love Hana and she wants her wife to be recognized by everyone for her talents and her kindness!

Thank you for making Hana Appreciation Week @sazanes , @lizzybeth1986 and @hanaleeappreciationweek because Hana deserves so much love and I had fun drawing her!!! She is one of the best characters in Choices (in my opinion) and seeing her having a week, I had to make time to make content for her 💗🥰

HLAW Day #2: Fashion

Pairing: Hana Lee x nonbinary!OC (Raelyn)

A Day with Marguerite Thorne

When the two duchesses of Valtoria walked through the door, they were immediately greeted by Marguerite Thorne herself.

"Hello, your graces! It's such a pleasure to meet you! I was thrilled when I received a call from you, Duchess Raelyn, about a collaboration with you, Duchess Hana. It's an honor to work with you."

"The honor is all mine! I nearly fainted when my spouse told me that they were able to get me in with you today. Your 2023 Drakovian collection was masterful!" Though Hana is smiling at Marguerite, she squeezed her partner's hand in excitement and gratitude. Raelyn knew they would owe Olivia big time for getting in contact with Marguerite, but it was worth it to see the happiness on Hana's sweet face.

"Thank you. I absolutely adore the suit you made for Duchess Raelyn in your engagement photos. The mix of blues against the stark navy popped as if from a canvas straight from a Thomas Cole painting! Allow me to show you around." Marguerite says leading the couple through the building.

The short tour led to Marguerite's studio and Hana seemed to light up even more as she took the space in.

"Well, Miss. Thorne, this is an amazing set up. I'll get out of here and let the two of you work your magic--" Raelyn starts to back out but Marguerite grasps their arm.

"With a jawline like yours? Absolutely not! You must stay and be our model and our muse!"

"Oh, what fun! Raelyn, you're going to be fitted in a one of kind Marguerite Thorne piece!" Hana says her eyes pleading for Raelyn to stay.

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong dear Hana, your partner is going to be fitted in an extremely exclusive, one of a kind Hana Lee & Marguerite Thorne piece!" Marguerite says already sketching a pattern out in a sketchbook.

Raelyn sighs but smiles at their wife excitedly browsing through some cloth swatches. Their feet were going to be sore and too many pins would accidently poke them but Hana was happy and that was all that mattered.

"Okay, but no pink dresses!" Raelyn declares.

A Hot Chocolate Embrace

A Poem by Hana Lee-Thorne, for her wife Kiara.

She makes me love winters

Her arms are a blanket I could sink into

Her warmth is the slow sweet descent

of the silkiest hot chocolate

sliding down my throat.

A comfort that cascades

into every nerve-ending,

down to my fingertips and toes

They tingle with life at her touch

In her laughter I find home -

deep and rumbling

loud and raucous

unafraid and unashamed,

unminding of the heads that turn, speculating

She refuses to mask

that tiny kiss of cocoa bitterness

with the cloying weight

of too much sugar

She makes me want

to adore the mess more

The mess I can make if I dare

to forget every etiquette lesson

and just drink -

chocolate moustache be damned

If I - for once, just once - stop worrying

and let my mouth be stained

a deep

warm

chocolate

brown

if I - for once, just once - leave my cares

for what will everyone say!

behind

She rewards me for my growing nonchalance,

kissing the stains on my skin

She never fails

to reintroduce me

to a self I never believed existed

She is home.

She is the warm blanket I sink into

as I watch the glittering snowflakes outside

She is the fireplace whose crackling sounds

will puntuate every sigh of fulfillment

that I will find in her arms.

She is that mug of hot chocolate

that I will recreate every day

following the steps

like they are an act of worship

closing my eyes and breathing in

the sweet, luxuriant aroma

of chocolate calinte

like it is a prayer

The sparkle in her eyes

when that final errant drop

stains the corner of her mouth -

teasing me

making me want to kiss it -

I accept it greedily; it is

a blessing from the gods

--

✨🎹 She is the pretty sailor-suited Guardian who fights for love and determination! She is Sailor Vega! Feel the strings of her fury and despair! 🎹✨

Hana would make the perfect magical girl and since I just recently finished reading all of the Sailor Moon manga, I couldn't resist.

(this awesome poster is the handiwork of our wonderful host @sazanes!!)

Note: So sorry for the delay in getting this out!! IRL has been a little tricky these days.

It gives us great joy to announce our third edition of the Hana Lee Appreciation Week!!

This year we are holding the AW around World Book Day (23rd April) in honour of Hana's passionate, long-lasting love for books!

Hana is talented at a great number of things, but is passionate about just a few. One is music - the other is reading. It was originally a hobby her parents introduced her to, to gain an advantage as a noblewoman, but Hana grew to love it far beyond what her parents expected. Her fondness for Jane Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, her delightful rebellions in secretly reading Wuthering Heights and manhuas, her adorable habit of leaving sweet notes behind, between the pages of a library book. Her love for books has deep and wonderful, and allowed her a window into worlds she didn't even realize existed!

But books and reading aren't our only themes for this AW! Take a look at our theme list for what we plan to do for each day:

April 21st - Character Appreciation/Throwback

April 22nd - Flowers/Fashion Design

April 23rd - Bookworm/AU

April 24th - Competitive Hana!/Culinary Love/Music

April 25th - Family/Friendship/Romance

This event will be held from April 21st to 25th. Any content is welcome, as long as it is Hana-centric and shows a positive depiction of her! Fanfic, fanart, meta, edits, moodboards, playlists, headcanons, interactive media - even simple appreciation posts and screenshots of fave scenes will be great!

It isn't absolutely necessary to post content only on the day of the theme! We often accept pieces even when sent on a later date, and also keep a bonus week in case you couldn't finish your pieces during the week. We also don't mind WIPs, so if you have one that is Hana-focused... we'd LOVE to see it!! We also love throwback pieces, so if you have any that you made previously, do reblog them and tag us!

We also will be accepting pieces after the event is over, and all year round until the next HLAW! So even if you have your post ready much later, please don't hesitate to tag us! 🤗

[hanaleeappreciationweek]

We begin our first day of Hana Lee Appreciation Week 3.0 TOMORROW!!

In our previous editions, we had kept Hana's AWs on days that celebrated her passion - music! This time, we decided to shake things up a little, and hold the event around the time of World Book Day! This time of the year is also fitting because it will be spring in many parts of the world, and there are very few things that remind us of Hana more than flowers do!!

Day 1 has two themes to choose from - Character Appreciation and Throwback.

We love having Character Appreciation as a theme because it encompasses everything!! Anything goes - as long as it includes whatever you love most about Hana.

Throwback is simple - any creative work on Hana that you've done before this edition of HLAW came out! Reblog any fic, art or meta that you've done before on her, and if you'd like to take us through the process of how you made the work - we'd love to read all about it!!

Any content is welcome!! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, interactive, media, headcanons, screenshots, playlists, meta...even screenshots of your favourite scenes would be great!! Our only requirement is that the content is centered on Hana, and that the depiction of her is positive. You can also send in WIPs in case you don't complete a work!

You can also send in a work on the days following a particular theme - this is no pressure for it to be put up exactly that day! We will also have an extra week for anyone who still needs time 💕 May 4th will be our final official date for entries (to incorporate into our video!) but HLAW will still be open for entries for the rest of the year until the next event!

You can find our full list of prompts here!

Be sure to do the following when making your posts:

1. Use the tags #hanaleeappreciationweek and #HLAW in the tags (along with the day you made the post for - #HLAW Day 1, #HLAW Day 2 etc)

2. Tag @hanaleeappreciationweek as well as hosts @lizzybeth1986 and @sazanes, we don't miss out on your posts!

[hanaleeappreciationweek]

We have crossed the midway mark for our week! There are only two days left, and we're immensely excited with all the wonderful work our Hana fans have put up so far and can't wait to see what's next!

Day 4 is packed with not one, not two, but three themes!

First up is Competitive Hana! One of the most delightful aspects of her growth is the joy she shows in expressing competitiveness and being a tough player. People both in canon and the fandom may fool themselves into viewing her as passive, but seeing her play or pit herself against an opponent tells us a whole different story altogether!!

We also have Music, a favourite among our community of Hana lovers who fondly remember her passion for music (especially the piano).

There's also Culinary Love! Whether it is her happy dance when she dips fries into milkshake, or how she revels in the symbolism of French pastries, or the way she gleefully shows the MC her favourite hot chocolate recipe, food has always had an important and delightful part of Hana's life. We'd love to see how you explore her relationship with food!!

Any content is welcome!! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, interactive, media, headcanons, screenshots, playlists, meta...even screenshots of your favourite scenes would be great!! Our only requirement is that the content is centered on Hana, and that the depiction of her is positive. You can also send in WIPs in case you don't complete a work!

You can also send in a work on the days following a particular theme - this is no pressure for it to be put up exactly that day! We will also have an extra week for anyone who still needs time 💕 May 4th will be our final official date for entries (to incorporate into our video!) but HLAW will still be open for entries for the rest of the year until the next event!

[hanaleeappreciationweek]

Today was indeed a wonderful start to Day 1 of HLAW 2024 so far!! We got little bursts of nostalgia through some very beautiful pieces from the past, as well as some incredible new work!! We hope you keep them coming because Day 1 isn't over yet 🩷🩷 What we have got so far is so amazing and we can't wait to see what you all have in store for us!

Tomorrow is Day 2, and we have two themes ready for it as well!

Our first theme is, of course, flowers! A representation of her maternal home, something she has always had a real fascination for. Remember how she would excitedly show us a moonflower in bloom at night and tell us the meanings of flowers? Many of us practically associate Hana with flowers, spring and new life 🩷🩷🩷

The next theme is Fashion Design! This is a skill that Hana often exhibits for the people she loves. There have been so many instances where we have been treated to her handmade creations, like the black cheongsam that holds so many memories of her grandmother, or the gorgeous red outfit she made for the MC (appropriately titled "Hana's Heart!") or even the lovely blue dress she creates for her fianceé's engagement photoshoot!! This would be a perfect opportunity to explore that skill and how she expresses her emotions for those she loves through it!!

Any content is welcome!! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, interactive, media, headcanons, screenshots, playlists, meta...even screenshots of your favourite scenes would be great!! Our only requirement is that the content is centered on Hana, and that the depiction of her is positive. You can also send in WIPs in case you don't complete a work!

You can also send in a work on the days following a particular theme - this is no pressure for it to be put up exactly that day!

[hanaleeappreciationweek]

The start of this week has been nothing short of incredible!! We've recieved such amazing work so far - loads of art, fanfic, edits and even a playlist!! Can't wait to see what else you all have up your sleeve 😍

Happy World Book Day to everyone!! Tomorrow, we will be celebrating Hana's love for books and exploring her tastes in reading! Becoming "well-read" was a skill her mother Lorelai insisted she cultivate, but it soon grew into a passion and in some ways a source of comfort for a lonely young Hana! It allowed her to give free rein to her imagination and conceive new worlds for herself!! So tomorrow we will celebrating Hana and her passion for reading!!

Our other theme this time is AU! The sky is the limit for this one. Imagine any alternative universe (whether just for herself or her with whoever you pair her with) and how Hana will respond to this environment!! Surprise us!

Any content is welcome!! Fanfic, fanart, edits, moodboards, interactive, media, headcanons, screenshots, playlists, meta...even screenshots of your favourite scenes would be great!!

HLAW Day 2: Flowers

A Bouquet for an Angel

Pairing: Hana Lee x nonbinary OC (Raelyn)

TRR book 2

Hana led the twins into the conservatory and were hit with a wave of perfume from hundreds of flowers.

"Did you know that in Victorian society, people communicated with flowers? Every flower has a meaning, so when a lord gave a lady a bouquet, it was as if he were writing her a poem." Hana says running her hands along a petal of a fern.

"That sounds romantic." Riley says grinning and elbowing Raelyn who elbows her back sharply before Hana turns around.

"It wasn't always about romance. Flowers can symbolize friendship, scorn, rivalry and just about anything. We should make a bouquet for the Italian statesman for tomorrow!" Hana says

"Good idea! What about those?" Riley points towards a stem drooping from the weight of 2 dozen small, blue flowers.

"Bluebells are for humility. It could be used as a subtle insult to the receiver." Hana replies. Raelyn snorts, Riley rolls her eyes.

"Okay smarty pants, you pick one." Riley says to Raelyn.

"White roses should be a good one right?" Raelyn says bending to inhale the fragrance of a delicate white rose.

"White roses are known for their unity and purity." -Hana-

"Unity could work!" Riley says, Raelyn plucks a few white roses.

"Oh these are my favorites! Hydrangeas are for heartfelt gratitude." Hana says pointing to some dusty blue-violet hemisphere of petals.

"Gratitude for the hospitality, and unity for Italy and Cordonia? That sounds pretty good, right?" Riley asks. Hana nods her approval and combines the hydrangeas to the bouquet.

"Almost..." Hana trails off to add some greens to the bouquet before offering it to Riley.

"It's beautiful!" Riley says

"And is sure to impress the statesman. Just be sure to leave them in water overnight." Hana says. Riley takes the flowers and grins at the way Hana's eyes keep wandering to Raelyn.

"Oh." Riley fakes a yawn. "I'm sorry, Hana, but I think I'm going to duck out to take a nap, but Raelyn wouldn't mind staying with you to see that night blooming flower, right, Rae?" Riley says to Raelyn who nearly nods their head off.

"I'd love to!" Raelyn says. When Riley has her back turned towards Hana, she wiggles her eyebrows at her twin, who gives her a warning look. Chuckling, Riley takes her leave and Raelyn sidles up to Hana's side.

"So I was hoping you'd help me with a bouquet too, Hana."

"Oh, of course! What message would you like to send with the bouquet?" Hana says smiling warmly at Raelyn.

"Well, it's a bouquet for someone very special to me." Raelyn says staring intensely into Hana's eyes, making Hana blush and bite her lip.

"Is there a flower that means you take my breath away? Perhaps a flower that says you're the most beautiful woman in the world and you make my heart flutter in my chest every time you smile at me?"At Raelyn's words, Hana looks down smiling but Raelyn gently lifts her chin to look at them.

"A flower that means I want to spend the rest of my life, in whatever capacity you'll have of me, making you smile?" Raelyn says causing Hana to gasp at the inclination of Raelyn's words.

"Rae..." Hana trails off before throwing her arms around Raelyn's shoulders and kissing them fiercely.

Time passes in a haze of warm kisses that slowed down from a fierce storm to a gentle caress. When the 2 pulls back to look at the bud of the night blooming flower, they watched the petals unfurl and nearly shimmer in the moonlight.

"Whoa." Raelyn says stunned.

"It's beautiful!" Hana exclaims.

"Not as beautiful as you, Hana."

"Oh Raelyn." Hana says softly.

"I promise, Hana. I'm going to help my sister clear her name, and you and I are going to figure this thing out between us." Raelyn says determined.

A bright smiles creeps onto Hana's face before she replies, "I'd like that very much, my darling."

For Day 2, I wanted to give Hana a beautiful red dress, because one of my HC is that Hana teaches MC to sew clothing and MC's first success would be this dress so Hana tries it on and it looks great and she is proud of her 🥰

HLAW Day 5: Relationships

Anytime you need a friend

I will be here

You'll never be alone again

So don't you fear

Riley Rys

There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you

We stick together and can see it through

Cause you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me

You find out who your friends are

Somebody's gonna drop everything

Run up and crank their car

Hit the gas, get there fast

I am here, if you need me, yeah

I'm in the wind, look for me friend

I'm in the stars, when you need me

When you have a friend

By your side

That helps you to find

The beauty of all

When you'll open your heart and

Believe in

The gift of a friend

Raelyn Lee

And I can't be without you

So don't go anywhere

You show me love like no one else has done yet

And with the road ahead

This is the beginning

Of this love story

Knowing clouds will raise up

Storms will race in

But you'll be safe in my arms

Rains will pour down

Waves will crash all around

But you'll be safe in my arms

Castles they might crumble

Dreams may not come true

But you are never all alone

Because I will always

Always love you

I wanted to do one for Lorelai and Xinghai but I couldn't find a full body sprite for them, but if I had been able to make an edit for them, their song would have been Perfect by Simple Plan.

HLAW Day 4: Competitive/Culinary AU

The Cordonian Bake-off

Pairing: Famous baker Hana Lee x master chef turned baker Raelyn Zane (nonbinary OC)

I decided to combine both Competitive Hana and culinary into one fic. Hana is one of the world's famous bakers, winning all sorts of awards and even had her own show. The problem is that annoying master chef Raelyn Zane is slowly infringing onto Hana's territory. In a competition with all other opponents defeated, it's down to just Hana and Raelyn. Can Hana stay on top? Or will Raelyn's flirtation be her downfall?

"And the clock is ticking folks! Our two finalists are going head to head in this final round of who is Cordonia's best baker!" Carson's voice and the studio audience's cheers were mere background noise to Hana as she quickly went to the cupboards to gather her ingredients. Flour, baking soda-Hana's train of thought abruptly crashed to a halt at the feel of her rival behind her.

Raelyn pressed up behind her, one hand on her hip, their front pressed all along her back as they reached over her head to grab the brown sugar on the top shelf. Hana spun around and Raelyn grins that maddening grin.

"Just need some sugar, sugar." Raelyn winks and backs away. Hana huffs

"There's sugar all the way over there." Raelyn just grins and casts a lazy glance where Hana is pointing.

"Ah. So there is." Raelyn says before turning back to their station. Hana takes a deep breath and hurries back to her station. She refuses to let that infuriating, cute baker get in her head.

The time seemed to fly as the two culinary geniuses worked on their masterpieces. At one point Hana's eyes drifted over to her rival and she marveled at Raelyn's intensity and steady hand as they encased their dessert in meringue. Feeling her eyes on them, they looked up and immediately their facial features softened, the two rivals getting lost into each other's eyes.

"Uh oh, it seems like our two rivals are staring each other down!" Carson's voice shattered the moment and Hana quickly looked back at her work of art, shaking her head to clear it. Their time was almost up!

Soon the audience was counting down the timer.

"4...3...2...1!"

"Alright contestants! If you would please stop and present your desserts to the judges." Carson announces. Soon Hana was carefully sitting her croquembouche tower next to Raelyn's elegant dessert. Hana's heart sank as she eyed Raelyn's perfect looking baked Alaska. Lemon meringue was the most challenging dessert for her and Raelyn's work looked like a master piece.

"What do you have for us contestants?" One of the judges ask. Raelyn nods at Hana to go first.

"My dessert is a croquembouche. A French dessert made up of cream-filled profiteroles stacked together in the cone shape, you see before you, and then caramelized." Hana says proudly.

"It looks beautiful Miss. Lee. What about you Mx. Zane?"

"My dessert is a baked Alaska. A layer of sponge cake topped with chocolate ice cream and raspberry sorbet encased in meringue and baked in the oven." Raelyn states.

"A very elegant dessert, Mx. Zane." Yvette Flynte, one of the judges says before they all dug into Hana and Raelyn's desserts. Hana and Raelyn stood tensely as the cameras panned across their faces and the judges whispering among themselves.

"We've come to a decision. First off Mx. Zane, your baked Alaska is beautiful. The flavors are complimentary and are perfect together. The only problem is that it has no soul. I've taste tested many of your other dishes Mx. Zane. Your consomme devilish dish is one of the best I've ever had, dare I say, better than mine. Until you've capture that spark that you have with your main course dishes, your desserts will always be lacking." Yvette Flynte says. Raelyn looks down at their feet for a moment before looking back up with a soft smile.

"Thank you Miss. Flynt for your feedback. I'll definitely keep that in mind."

"Now Miss. Lee. This is the best croquembouche I've ever had. The cream filling is different but flavorful, the profiteroles crisp but light to perfection. That is why Miss. Hana Lee...you are this year's winner of the Cordonian Bake-Off!" At this confetti falls from the ceiling and the audience goes wild. Hana gape at the judges who stand up to shake her hand. She looks back at Raelyn who is proudly clapping for her and mouths to her, "good job". Afterwards everything is a blur as the judges present her trophy and she makes her winning statement.

It isn't until she's alone backstage when Raelyn walks into her room.

"Hey congrats! That's one big shiny trophy you got there." Raelyn says walking up to Hana who blushes.

"Thank you. Second place isn't a bad accomplishment yourself." Hana says, Raelyn shrugs.

"It was never really about winning the competition, I mean don't get me wrong. I wanted to win, mainly to impress you but..."Raelyn trails off suddenly unsure of themselves.

"But why? What made you compete then?" Hana asks.

"I mean, broadening my horizons, challenging myself and learning new things is kind of my jam. But mainly I joined this competition to be able to join your circles. I wanted to make an impression on you."

"You definitely made an impression on me. Mainly an annoying one." Hana says heart thumping in her chest. Raelyn wryly rubs the back of their neck.

"Yeah, probably not my best work. I'm sorry. Can we start over? Maybe collab some time?" Raelyn asks nervously.

"Perhaps. Only if you kiss me." Hana says shocking even herself by her boldness. Raelyn lights up and immediately brings their lips together. When they pulled back they have that once maddening now endearing grin on their face.

"What?" Hana asks

"Perhaps I left a different impression on you than just annoyance." Raelyn says smirking, Hana rolls her eyes and grabbing them by the lapels kisses them again.
