Only one week. One week was enough to turn my life upside down. Within one week I went from intern at the local gardener to plant food.
It all started on my first proper work day at the flower shop around the corner with a garden and greenhouse attached to the backrooms of the establishment. They market themselves as sellers of exotic plants home raised.
Since the shop and staff was rather small and since I was looking for a job that doesn´t bind me to an office desk, it seemed like a perfect opportunity!
After getting dressed in my work clothing and getting a small tour around the shop and the garden by the owner of the shop, I was given the simple task of watering the plants in the greenhouse.
I promptly got to work, arming myself with a watering can before starting to water the plants. Each plant had a dedicated cardboard sign sticking out of the soil with the name of the species, the date of the seed being planted and the rough amount of recommended water.
I paid extra close attention to reading each plant´s recommended water amount to not mess anything up.
Some of the plants here looked absolutely alien while others looked familiar but at first glance like a rose with thorns growing within the blossom instead of on the stem.
I just finished the first row of plants and was getting into a pretty fluid work flow before coming to a sudden stop at very particular plant. Unlike the others, this one looked like it was still in a bud state. It looked like a little cyan-blueish bulb with white small spots hiding in a coat of thick green leaves. The bulb also had what looked like thick round white lips. Not only that but there was no description sign for this plant and upon closer inspection I noticed that it wasn´t even rooted in the soil like the other plants but instead was growing out of a metal can which was just halfway sunken into the soil.
I wondered if this plant was even supposed to be here as I lean in further, debating if I should ask my boss about it. But as I lean in, I noticed how the plant seemingly began to pucker its lips while making a very quiet yet audible suction noise.
Seeing a plant move like that completely caught me off guard. Sure the plants here where exotic and alien but so far none of them seemed to be this level of sentient!
Despite being surprised and a bit weirded out, the seed of curiosity was already planted. I remembered how as a kid I used to trigger Venus flytraps which were on display in a store, always giggling when they closed their “jaw”.
Curiously I stretched out my finger and bring it closer to the plant. Immediately it sensed my finger and began to pucker its lips again. It even followed it when I moved my finger around.
I giggled to myself finding the plant´s behavior rather cute. I took a closer look at the can in which the plant was planted in. It was a bit covered in dirt, but the label still clearly read: “Jelly”.
“heh… Jelly! That´s a cute name” *I said to myself jokingly before gently giving the white lips of the plant a boop.
The lips felt oddly soft with a really smooth texture not really comparable to anything I felt before.
Suddenly the plant opened its maw a little, warping its lips around my fingertip. I was caught off guard but it didn’t hurt at all. It actually felt… quite nice. Especially when I felt a small warm tongue, push against my skin which tickled a little.
After the initial shock I couldn´t help but smile as I let the plant… Jelly have her way. I just couldn´t help but smile at the oddly adorable behavior and eagerness of the plant. I gave it a small pat as I kept letting it suckle my finger.
I did not want to take my finger away in the same manner as you don´t want to stand up when a cat is sleeping on your lap, but when I heard the steps of my boss closing in outside I had to slip my finger out of the plants maw and quickly grabbed the watering can to make it look like I am still working.
Luckily my boss did not see anything of the little interaction I had with the plant. He just wanted to ask if everything was going okay.
I thought about asking him about Jelly the weird plant but out of fear that the plant was actually not supposed to be here and would potentially be discarded I rather kept my mouth shut.
I finished up drizzling the last few plants before heading for the door… but not before glancing back once more to see Jelly “look” back at me. I left the greenhouse with a smirk promising myself to visit the little plant again tomorrow.
Throughout the day I completed various other tasks, but it wasn´t until my lunch break that I noticed an odd green hue on my finger tip. It was notable but not alarming. When working with plants your hands are bound to get dirty so I did not pay any more mind to it until I left for the day.
The next day I came into the store, surprised to find the front counter empty. I hung up my jacket and was about to head into the back before noticing a sticky note on the counter. It said “Hello Fabio, I am currently picking up an order for supplies and will be back later. You can start by-“
I did not even read the rest of the note and just hurried into the back, not even making a stop at the dressing room to put on my work clothing. Instead I rush towards the green house to see if Jelly was still there and to my relief she was.
Right where I left her yesterday… although she seemed to have had a growth spurt overnight. Her petals where a lot bigger and where pealing to the side to reveal a small neck like stem growing underneath the bulb like bud. Jelly smiled up at me as I wondered how she was able to sense me… perhaps through smell or taste?
That question can wait till later. I gently give Jelly´s head a pat and to my surprise she even pushed her head into my palm, gently rubbing it against it like a dog asking for pets. I chuckle at the adorable display before noticing hoe she was puckering her lips again. I was just about to offer my finger like yesterday, but the sight of my still green fingertip made me hesitate.
I defiantly washed my hands and took a shower yesterday, so any kind of dirt or color should have washed off but it clearly didn´t. I chuckle nervous deciding not to offer my finger, but Jelly did not stop “begging”.
Suddenly she seemed to have to ran out of patience because she turned her head and took a long lick over my palm with an odd thick tongue. Out of shock I retreated my hand and wiped the moisture off on my pant leg.
But the surprises did not stop there as a high, weak voice came from jelly “F-feed me!”
I took a step back, alienated by how I just heard a plant of all things talk! No I must have imagined it right? But there it was again: “Feeeeed meeee Fabio!”
I let out a gasp. How did that thing know my name? Did it hear my Boss call me by name? How smart is this thing if it can learn how to talk within a day?
So many questions… but I defiantly knew that I was not dealing with an ordinary plant. Without another second of hesitation, I dig my hands into the soil beneath the plant to scoop out the tin can it was planted in.
I brought the plant into the front part of the store and put her onto the counter and turn the entrance sign to “closed” before rushing over to the landline telephone attached to the wall to dial the number of a friend of mine.
I twirl my finger around the cord that connects the speaker to the station until I finally heard the voice of my friend on the other side
“D-Darren? Darren! Emergency! I need you over here like… now! You know that garden store at the corner? That’s where I work! Come there as soon as possible!”
I completely bombard my friend Darren with words, not even taking a moment to breath in between while Jelly kept saying “Feeeeed me!” in the background.
Darren was absolutely confused on the other side of the line but since it was made clear that this was an emergency, he wasted no time to slip into his shoes and hurry to the store.
I was holding my ears in the store. The constant begging from Jelly was robbing me of my last nerve. Luckily I heard a knock at the front door and immediately open it, grab Darren by the sleeve and pull him inside so nobody outside could see the by now notably huge plant inside.
It had grown big enough to reach ones upper legs if it fully stretched its neck out.
Darren stared at the hungry plant in absolute horror. He was completely frozen in place while his brain was trying to process what he was looking at.
“That… is Jelly…” I whisper awkwardly.
“Feeeed meee!”
Darren´s face twitches a little as he tried to form a sentence, but no sound came from his dry mouth.
“I don´t know what to do! I found it amongst the other plants while watering them yesterday and now it grew rapidly and can talkanditknowsmynameandkeepsaskingtobefedand…” I started to just open the floodgates as I drown Darren in information without giving him a chance to breath while walking nervously in circles.
“H-have you tried watering it?” Darren finally said with a heavy voice crack before slowly going down to his knees to get a better look at the sentient salad.
“OF COURSE I TRIED WATERING IT!” I reply in a very defensive way.
The plant had stopped talking. Now just “looking” towards Darren. It almost looked like Jelly was smiling at him with her thick white lips. In awe he slowly extends his arm towards the plant, resting his palm on Jelly´s lips.
The texture was surprisingly soft and smooth. Almost feeling like rubber while also feeling natural. The overwhelming sensation of the touch almost made Darren forget that what he was touching was a gigantic alien looking plant.
The fact that the plant seemed so quiet and docile now made it feel like a scene ripped straight from how to train your dragon. Darren couldn´t help but smile, thinking that he tamed the beast… before Jelly suddenly opens her maw to force Darren’s entire arm into the warm moist darkness of Jelly´s mouth.
Darren screams in surprise as he felt Jelly´s thick tongue push against his skin while her soft pillow lips nibble on his arm, sending a tickling sensation through his body. Despite the initial shock and the threat of the situation… the feeling of his arm in Jelly´s maw was surprisingly calming to Darren.
After only two attempts of pulling away, his body began to ease up as he fully lowered himself onto the floorboards just letting Jelly have her with his arm as he spirals deeper into a trance like state of bliss.
“DARREN!” I scream out in panic. I jump back and forth on the spot, debating if I should just intertwine bare handed.
“H-HANG ON I- I WILL GET SOMETHING FROM THE TOOLSHED!”
I yell out before making a sprint out of the back of the store, past the greenhouse and towards the mentioned toolshed.
While I struggle with finding and inserting the right key for the shed´s padlock, Darren did not feel in danger at all… My screaming sounded distant, as if he was underwater. His head bopped back and forth in the rhythm in which Jelly sucked on his arm, which unbeknownst to him, was thinning and stretching with every motion, losing more and more detail and shape as it was molded by Jelly´s tongue warping and pressing around it to forming and hardening his arm into an old dead tree branch. Even his fingers stretch and slimmed down to bone thin twigs at the end of his hand as a thick bush of leaves sprouts around his wrist.
Every single leaf that was growing on his arm and every single bit of skin that dried out into brown dead wood send stunning bursts shivers of bliss through his now stretching spine. His poor mind could not comprehend what was happening in the slightest as his whole body stretched back with the creaking noise of old wood as he lets out an inhuman roar into the air while his mouth stretches and expands, bursting his face open with a splinter explosion so his mouth now reached around his whole head as his face too was hardening into wood.
I finally god the door of the shed open as I heard the deep inhuman scream in the distance which made me stop dead in my tracks for a moment.
What on earth was that?
I hesitated for a few more seconds before bursting through the door of the shed and looking around in haste… Lumberjack axe! Perfect!
I reach for the tool mounted to the wall, completely underestimating how heavy such an axe is, causing me to promptly drop it to the floor as soon as I took it off the wall.
I reach down to pick the axe up again, more carefully this time, before making another sprint back to the store as fast as my legs could carry me.
With the adrenaline pumping in me veins I find myself back at the store… to witness a horrible sight.
The plant had grown at least double its size since I left. It was now easily bigger than an average human. The plant had long since outgrown the can I found it in and was now rooted into the floorboards. But that wasn´t even the worst part of the scene.
The plant was towering over the horrid creature that barely resembles Darren at this point. His cloths had ripped apart due to his huge body, his eyes were caught in the half way process of merging into one, his right leg had split up into multiple thick wooden roots while his other leg was still human looking and his hair was half way assimilated into green leaves, barely mimicking his old hair style like some sort of mockery of his former human form.
I watched in horror at what happened to my friend as Jelly noticed me. She turns her huge round head warped in a hood of gigantic green petals with a wide grin.
“Lookie here who´s late for dinner!” Jelly spoke in a menacing voice, oozing with sadistic sarcasm.
“Better late than never! Let me help you with that!” She said before a vine busted out of the floorboards and warps around the handle of my axe, unarming me with one swift movement.
I was completely caught off guard by the enormous strength that Jelly just displayed as she pushed me back with another vine, sending me tumbling onto an old wooden chair in the corner meant for costumers to sit on while they wait.
“Just sit back and relax Fabi!I have something special for you!”
I was still too devastated by the state of Darren and overwhelmed by the behavior of Jelly to fully collect my thoughts. All this tension, fear and feeling of guilt for getting Darren warped up in all of this left me mumbling the word “M-Monster…”
Jelly´s smile turned into a bit of an annoyed frown as she responds: “Hey! Don´t talk to me like that! In case you haven´t noticed yet, I am the one in charge now!”
Her smirk returned as one of her vines creeped up the chair and began to warp itself around me.
I flinch as I was suddenly lifted from the chair into the air with seemingly no effort at all. I couldn´t move my arms at all and could only helplessly kick my legs around in the air as Jelly´s head came closer pretending to take a deep sniff as if I was some steaming meal.
“Don´t you humans always say to safe the best for last?” Jelly´s maw came closer and closer as she flashes her fangs while her fat moist tongue lolls out a little.
My eyes widen as the maw opened further and further. It wasn´t long till I was close enough to feel Jelly´s warm breath wash over me. My eyes water as I began to beg: "J-Jelly stop! P-PLEASE! I-I will get you someone else I s-swear!"
My poor attempt at negotiation did not help with anything but amusing Jelly who could already taste my fear which in return only fueled her appetite.
"I don't need your help anymore Fabio, you would be worthless...if it wasn't for your sweet, and delicious humanity~"
With that, Jelly opened her maw, letting her tongue slide out to drag it over her captured prey. A hot disgusting feeling was flooding my body as I frantically squirm and kick around me as the tongue finally reaches the top of my head, I couldn´t even catch a breather before Jelly already went in for a second lick, her mouth filling with the sweet taste of humanity, well-seasoned with delicious fear.
Upon reaching the top of my head again, she pushed her lips onto the top of my head, her soft white lips nibbling on my forehead.
My legs hang down tired as I pant. Jelly took a break from savoring me as I felt something growing… expanding… pushing against the back of my shirt… exhausted I try to look up, but before I could get a glance behind me, I felt the neck part of my shirt explode into bits of fabric, making way for a few green leaves which immediately began to warp around the back and sides of my head like a protective hood.
I flinch at squirm at this odd sensation while my hands curl into tight fists under Jelly´s bindings while she gazes down upon her prey with a satisfied smile.
My head felt oddly mellow… as if it was wax in the sun. Something the Jelly took advantage of as she teasingly pushes her smooth vine against my cheek to stroke it with fake affection.
So many feelings and sensations in such a short time where completely derailing my thoughts while I kept trying to struggle against Jelly´s bindings. Jelly stops her teasing touch for a moment to bath in my distress.
"P-PLEASE h-haah Y- YOU CANT D-DO THIS I- I HELPED YOU! I- I..." saying this only made me feel more guilty about this whole situation at hand. If I had just reported what I found… maybe this could have had been prevented.
I sob as I burst out in tears which Jelly sadistically off my face. "I'm gonna spicy this up for me...i love your reaction~"
I was puzzled at what she meant by that. As soon as I looked up I felt a vine creep up underneath my shirt before curling around to get a grasp of the fabric while another two vines crawled up each of my pant legs.
“wh-“ I couldn´t even finish a single word of that sentence before her vines tore away my clothing leaving only torn pieces of them attached to me before suddenly dropping me to the floor.
As soon as I recovered from the fall, my first instinct was to run. That was until I saw my legs.
My legs… my lower body. Most of it had split up into a confusing mess of roots and small vines. I was speechless at the revelation that my body was already more plant than human.
In disbelief I reach for my head which indeed felt… rounder… softer… while staring at the unorganized mess of roots moving and twitching around without coordination. I clearly did not know how to control more than 2 limbs at once.
I began to hyperventilate as my lips began to puff up into white soft ones just like Jelly´s while feeling my tongue swell within my mouth forcing me to let it roll out, much to Jelly´s joy.
“Isn’t nature just a miracle?” Jelly said tauntingly. “You will repeat the cycle as my little plant. You will be weak, tiny and hungry… but you know what you have to do to grow big and strong like yours truly!”
Each of Jelly´s words made me feel smaller and smaller as I sank closer and closer towards the floor, Jelly´s shadow looming over me like a mountain.
I felt… unable to move. Not even when I felt Jelly´s vine gently rub my round head where my eyes should be… but of course… a plant does not have eyes. Instead I was able to “see” with my sensitive tongue.
Suddenly I heard Darren groan again in the corner which caused Jelly to chuckle.
“Oh-oh Fabi! Seems like it’s time for your desert…”
I knew what she was insinuating with that… And I would have thought she was crazy for thinking I would completely seal the fate of my own friend… but that was when that overwhelming hunger set in…
you in front of the screen! Yea you! You whos DRIPPING with delicious humanity... come closer... I have something to tell ya:
This was a big Collab between me and Alsa-F featuring https://twitter.com/JustMehDarren in the story.

Jelly took a break from savoring me as I felt something growing… expanding… pushing against the back of my shirt… exhausted I try to look up, but before I could get a glance behind me, I felt the neck part of my shirt explode into bits of fabric, making way for a few green leaves which immediately began to warp around the back and sides of my head like a protective hood.
I flinch at squirm at this odd sensation while my hands curl into tight fists under Jelly´s bindings while she gazes down upon her prey with a satisfied smile.
My head felt oddly mellow… as if it was wax in the sun. Something the Jelly took advantage of as she teasingly pushes her smooth vine against my cheek to stroke it with fake affection.
So many feelings and sensations in such a short time where completely derailing my thoughts while I kept trying to struggle against Jelly´s bindings. Jelly stops her teasing touch for a moment to bath in my distress.
"P-PLEASE h-haah Y- YOU CANT D-DO THIS I- I HELPED YOU! I- I..." saying this only made me feel more guilty about this whole situation at hand. If I had just reported what I found… maybe this could have had been prevented.
I sob as I burst out in tears which Jelly sadistically off my face. "I'm gonna spicy this up for me...i love your reaction~"
I was puzzled at what she meant by that. As soon as I looked up I felt a vine creep up underneath my shirt before curling around to get a grasp of the fabric while another two vines crawled up each of my pant legs.
“wh-“ I couldn´t even finish a single word of that sentence before her vines tore away my clothing leaving only torn pieces of them attached to me before suddenly dropping me to the floor.
As soon as I recovered from the fall, my first instinct was to run. That was until I saw my legs.
My legs… my lower body. Most of it had split up into a confusing mess of roots and small vines. I was speechless at the revelation that my body was already more plant than human.
In disbelief I reach for my head which indeed felt… rounder… softer… while staring at the unorganized mess of roots moving and twitching around without coordination. I clearly did not know how to control more than 2 limbs at once.
I began to hyperventilate as my lips began to puff up into white soft ones just like Jelly´s while feeling my tongue swell within my mouth forcing me to let it roll out, much to Jelly´s joy.
“Isn’t nature just a miracle?” Jelly said tauntingly. “You will repeat the cycle as my little plant. You will be weak, tiny and hungry… but you know what you have to do to grow big and strong like yours truly!”
Each of Jelly´s words made me feel smaller and smaller as I sank closer and closer towards the floor, Jelly´s shadow looming over me like a mountain.
I felt… unable to move. Not even when I felt Jelly´s vine gently rub my round head where my eyes should be… but of course… a plant does not have eyes. Instead I was able to “see” with my sensitive tongue.
Suddenly I heard Darren groan again in the corner which caused Jelly to chuckle.
“Oh-oh Fabi! Seems like it’s time for your desert…”
I knew what she was insinuating with that… And I would have thought she was crazy for thinking I would completely seal the fate of my own friend… but that was when that overwhelming hunger set in…
you in front of the screen! Yea you! You whos DRIPPING with delicious humanity... come closer... I have something to tell ya:
This was a big Collab between me and Alsa-F featuring https://twitter.com/JustMehDarren in the story.
We had this Idea when Alsa watching Little shop of horrors and we thought back to his Piranha plant oc and where like... What if little shop of horrors but tf... and that's how we ended up here
Hope you enjoy and feedback as well as "food donations" are highly appreciated

So wait, Darren was turning into a Treveant? I didn't get that impression. But otherwise, that story was absolutely FANTASTIC!! I never knew I wanted to read a tf version of Little Shop of Horrors until now! It's one of my favorite films, and they even cheekily reference this plant tf aspect from the original Roger Corman comedy in the play version during the original closing number, " Don't Feed the Plants"!
Hearing this means a lot to me! This was one of my biggest projects so far and I am so happy you like it!
And yea tree tfs are hard and I did not know a good way of making it clear that Darren is becoming a Treveant without saying it outright which would probably be a little awkward timing or dialogue wise

This was great ! Humanity is the great fertilizer I agree, hope you'll have enough to grow big and strong~
Hm, yeah, it's not like being human is the most pleasant thing after all.
Volunteers are always welcome. Never gonna say no to a quick snack
Huh, didn't expect to read and love a story that's like audrey II (Which i know IS the inspiration due to the description and tags) Mixed with twinning/assimilation tf and pirahna plants but this was amazing and i don't know why it's taken me so long to read this, i kinda hope you do something more with this or just more twinning/assimilation vibes in general. ^^
nawh thanks. reading this really meant a lot to me. always a hit hesitant with writing full on stories like this so I am glad you like it. Definitely gonna try to do more of this kind of stuff in the future
Late reply but no problem! And trust me, even as someone who does full on writing for fun all the time, i tend to be like that too. It happens to even the best of us. ^^
And i'll be looking forward to when you do such, keep up the good work!
