So Zea's name comes for the scientific name for maize, which is Zea mays--pronounced with two syllables.
(Durum and Emmer are both types of wheat, Lucerne is the Aussie name for what I'd call alfalfa, Milo is the western-US name for sorghum, Bran from wheat bran. Most of the other D9 names are from relatives of mine who are from Kansas)
I really want to finish the next D9 piece and I'm really pretty close but my brain is being uncooperative >( SOON I HOPE
(and i'm always extra gratified when people like the D9 fics, I think they're some of my best stuff in terms of like, writing quality? but super niche obviously so I don't get much feedback XD)
