	+ In this fanfiction, the interaction between Norbert and Treeflower goes as follows:

## Trivia

* This (along with the rest of Mr. Chaves's fanfics) takes place in an alternate universe where the Season 2 episode "Tree of Hearts" happened after this episode, because in the canon timeline that episode takes place in August 1996 when "Bummer of Love" takes place in July 1996 and "Long in the Teeth" takes place in September 1996.
* This fanfiction reveals that Norbert has some underlying mental health problems that have been rooted to his youth.
	+ These mental health issues would be solidified in "Long Tall Daggy", in which he has a nightmare of Treeflower leaving him for Daggett. This implies that Norbert might have abandonment issues.
	+ He also states that his parents "respected his brother more than him" and that his father "always embarrassed him and made him feel like a loser every time he couldn’t do something right." This shows that Norbert may've been the victim of child favoritism to Daggett.
	+ He also states that throughout his entire life he "wasn't good enough to be anything", implying that he may also suffer from anxiety.
* The film that Norbert watches at the beginning titled "*The Killer Shark"* is a parody of "*Jaws*" by Steven Spielberg.
* Originally, this was supposed to be an NSFW fanfiction. However, after thinking about it Mr. Chaves decided to have it be SFW instead.
	+ Additionally, there was supposed to be a SFW version and a NSFW version of this fanfiction but the NSFW version was also scrapped.
	+ The unfinished NSFW version can be viewed here.
* This fanfiction implies that Treeflower was not the first female beaver that Norbert had romantic feelings about, as it is stated that he had "occasional crushes back in his school days."
