Wisteria Aesthetic Novels & Stories

Wisteria could smell her, she was a vampire. She was carrying a white tray with gray patterns, she held it up high in the air and set the tray on the table. The woman looked calm, too calm like she knew she'd expected to find Wisteria exactly where she'd left her. Wisteria could perceive tea, bread and stew. She could easily tell from the way it was set. Wisteria stared and turned to stare at the vampire, the vampire stared back, none of them said anything which was a bit awkward.

That’s not a compliment. “That’s the aesthetic we discussed,” Weston reminds her, his tone patient in a way that suggests they’ve had this conversation before. “Farm chic. Rustic elegance. Remember?” “Of course.” Her smile is bright and brittle. “It’s exactly what we talked about.” It’s absolutely not what she wants and we all know it. I make a mental note that Eloise’s moods seem to shift like weather patterns—warm and engaged during the dress fitting, cool and dismissive now.

By May, the wisteria was doing what first-year wisteria always does—almost nothing above ground and everything below. Its thin stem clung to the south wall like a hesitant promise, a suggestion that perhaps, in the right time, beauty would emerge. To the casual eye, it looked like a failure, a plant that had given up before starting, but Dante knew better.

He sat across from her and put the photographs she’d sent on the table between them. “Tell me what you want,” he said. Not what are you looking for or what brought you in today. Just what do you want. “Climbing plants,” she said. “Specifically something that goes upward. I’ve been thinking about wisteria but I’m open.” She paused. “I want it to work with the texture, not over it. The scar is part of my arm. I don’t want to pretend it isn’t.” He looked at the photographs. Then at her.

My stomach twisted with nerves, but my eyes widened at the sight before me. The pathway was a dream. Rose petals scattered across the ground, orchids and hydrangeas arranged in delicate clusters along the edges. Above me, colorful wisteria hung from the roof, cascading like waterfalls of blossoms. The air was perfumed with their fragrance, sweet and intoxicating, almost dizzying. It was beautiful. Too beautiful. The pathway led me to a grand door — tall, carved with intricate designs that gleamed under the lantern light. My heart pounded as I stood before it, the weight of satin and pearls pressing down on me, the bracelet on my wrist a silent reminder.

It’s uncomfortable for everyone involved. The protruding entrance of the quaint house was framed in rock with its own angled roof completely separate from the house itself, and it jutted upward as though pointing at the sky. The chimney, which was strategically built in the center of the front of the house, was rock as well. The walkway leading from the drive to the front entrance was adorned with arbors draped with wisteria, which at this time of year were in full bloom, the aroma of its grape-like flowers drifting in through the open shutter-style windows. The small garden that enveloped the walkway on either side was overflowing with azaleas of all colors, black-eyed susans, shasta daisie

She just walked back to the hospital and sat there in the yard for the entire afternoon. There was a wisteria plant in the yard. She sat on the bench under it and took in the flowers quietly. The plant bloomed brightly. Clumps of flowers hung from the branches, closely gathered together. Holly had found wisteria flowers to be very loud and cheerful. Only today did she realize how much sorrow the flowers held—it threatened to spill all over the ground. She watched the flowers so intently that she didn't notice someone was eyeing her from afar. It was a tall man wearing a set of high-quality black casual clothes and a mask on his face.

“ We are here, stop the car.” The car came to a stop as Carter hit the break, as he stared at the scenery in front of him, Carter clenched the steering wheel in his hand. Fu*k his life, he never wanted to be here but leave it to Caroline for manipulating him into giving in. Wisteria trees stood tall, as they fluttered with the wind rustling past them, the cold stones were still the same just like those old gnarled trees. The place was serene and calm, a bit too calm.

“You?” He shook his head. For the next several minutes, we sat in silence catching our breath as Wulfie drove on the tree-lined road that ran through Aether. Hawthorn trees stood on either side of us like sentinels, their long branches forming a canopy of green. I caught glimpses of manicured gardens between their trunks, of weeping willows that bowed down before lakes. In between these beautiful sights stood small white houses that were probably magically expanded on the inside. Aether was beautiful, but I’d had more than enough of faeries to last a lifetime. I never wanted to venture into their territory again.

A sweeping staircase, its bannister carved from dark mahogany, curved gracefully to the upper levels, its steps lined with a plush runner in deep emerald green. The walls were adorned with art that spoke of heritage—portraits of Masterson ancestors, sprinkled with modern abstract pieces, all framed in gold leaf. At the center of the foyer stood an antique console table topped with a fresh arrangement of white roses, lilies, and eucalyptus, filling the room with a soft fragrance. As Caesar moved deeper into the mansion, the grandeur unfolded like the pages of an exclusive feature in House Beautiful, the premier real estate magazine that once named Willowridge Manor "One of the Ten Most Elegan
