Happy 28th! Here are all the fics I read and enjoyed this month. this could either break my heart, or bring it back to life | anditsonlyforthebrave | [18k] Harry never really cared for love: he has two children he needs to care for, and a Country to rule. Love is just not in his cards. Enter Louis, who spins his children's lives but most importantly Harry's. In Shining Armour of Trackie and Trainers | LadyAJ_13 | [9k] Online dating isn't exactly working for Harry. In fact, it couldn't really be going much worse. But then the door of the bar opens, and the pack of friends walking in parts and - that’s Louis Tomlinson. Louis fucking Tomlinson.

Angel Baby | brightgolden | [51k] “You’d be a MILF,” Louis teases, squeezing Harry’s love handles. Harry smiles, dimples deep in his cheeks as he hums in agreement. “I would, wouldn’t I? Your MILF.” OR When Louis’ sugar-baby-turned-mate suddenly wanted a pup, he simply couldn’t say no to his bright-eyed omega. After all, who didn’t want a mini Harry running around the house? He should have known that it wasn’t all wonderful in the wonderland of baby making. It's Fine To Fake It 'Til You Make It ('Til It's True) | sunflouwerhabit | [141k] Harry Styles @HarryStyles_KE hi again! so, i wanted to apologize one more time for the whole “helogogjs good gksdjid” thing, and also say that i didn’t just accidentally open your DM’s when i wasn’t paying attention earlier. i sort of had a question about a tweet you posted yesterday? like. the whole “rent a boyfriend” thing? is that something you were serious about? and if so, how does one come to hire you to be their boyfriend? i’m, um, asking for a friend ***** Harry dreads an impending visit to his hometown, where he’ll be forced to reunite with a newly engaged ex-boyfriend, a childhood best friend turned near stranger, and a family who never understood just how desperately he needed to leave. In the midst of it all, a ludicrous Twitter proposition brings him to Louis.

It’s Only Sunny Cause the Planet’s Dying | LetTheMusicMoveYou | [14k] The man leans back in his chair and looks down at the tarot cards in front of him. “Wow, that was really impressive. How long did it take you to memorize all this bullshit?” He raises a brow and that challenging look is back on his face, but he’s not even bothering to mask it this time. It makes Louis’ blood run cold. “I beg your pardon?” The man chuckles, but there’s no humor in it. “If you take a peek in my wallet that you just stole, you’ll see there’s a detective’s badge in there. Why don’t you come on down to the police station with me and you can explain your methods to me there?” (Or the one where Louis is a thief and a con-artist who’s used to getting what he wants, using any means necessary. And Harry is is the straight-laced detective who might just be tired of always doing the right thing). Running Over Thoughts That Make My Feet Hurt | enchantedlandcoffee | [5k] Louis is the little league coach of 'The Ducklings', the team that Harry's daughter plays for. Whilst she tries her best, she doesn't quite have the skills so Coach Tommo steps in. He offers private lessons to try and help her, and if he gets in her dad's good books? Well that'd just be a bonus. Save Me (from myself) | Imogenlee | [159k] The problem with being friends with Liam Payne was that he had a lot of friends... and forced them to be around each other. When they finished high school, both Louis and Harry were equally relieved that they wouldn't have to tolerate each other constantly or whatever it was that they did. For five years, it worked out perfectly. They'd only had to see each other a handful of times. Unfortunately, Liam had to go and get engaged, ask them to both be groomsmen, and then go full groomzilla on their arses. With just twelve weeks to plan the 'perfect' destination wedding and throw every ridiculous pre-wedding celebration Liam and his fiancée stumble across, it was safe to say they were firmly back in each other's lives. And no one could have predicted that was exactly what they needed. Fight For Us | FallingLikeThis | [11k] Louis isn’t okay. It’s beyond wrong, the way they’re held in a cage waiting to be chosen for mating. It’s the way it’s been all Louis’ life, but he never wanted to end up like this. He’d hoped against hope that he’d present as a beta since they don’t have these same restrictions on them. They don’t have to adhere to their biology. And one dark night, long after all of the other omegas in the pen have fallen asleep, biology comes calling for Louis. In The Name of Being Honest | sunflouwerhabit therogueskimo | [124k] Back at his desk, Louis closed his eyes for a moment, trying to settle into the reality of this. He was leaving the UK for only the second time in his life. Suddenly, the holiday he took to Spain three summers ago felt like it paled in comparison. He was going to the U.S. - for work, it was true, but still - alone. He’d been all for seizing the moment when his boss had been looking at him with a gaze of steel, but now he felt vaguely nauseous. Louis took several shaky breaths, feeling like the air was being sucked from the room, and opened the manila folder, laying it flat on his desk. His breath caught as he saw the destination, centered in a large, block font at the very top of the first page: Robinson Publishing - Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. ~~~ After two years of living in an everlasting cycle of work, sleep, and regret, Louis finds himself wandering brand new streets perpetually haunted by the ghosts of his past. The Chicago Fic.

You will not convince me that the months don't speed up more and more as you get older. Perception is everything when it comes to time. The year is half over, and I've been struggling with health issues for most of it. But here are some favorites that have been getting me through.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse: What a lovely little story this is! It's quite short, with many pictures and few words, but so much emotion. If your heart and soul need soothing, look no further.

Palia (with friends): I've mentioned a few times how much I love the world and characters of Palia. But I had done very little interacting with other players until recently. After leading someone around while doing an ore compass a few times, I got invited to a Discord group. And while group chats typically terrify me, this was a small enough group that I decided to try interacting. And I'm so glad that I did. I've had few (if any) experiences where I really felt part of a group. And I'm very grateful to be a part of this one.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: This is my first Marvel movie after a long break, and it was super fun. Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero, and this movie did not disappoint.

Wildcard (Warcross): It's always hard for me to know how much to say about a sequel, because I don't want to give too much away. But this book, while maybe not as much my thing as the first, was a pretty fitting conclusion to this duology. And had me excited the whole way through!

Music Favs: To Hell and Back (Jessie Baylin), Tailor Made (Colbie Caillat), Stainache (Emma Louise), Wanted (Holly Brook).

April Favorites!!

Longchamp Gunmetal Le Pliage Large

If there's one bag I will always recommend, it's the Longchamp's Le Pliage. Look there's a reason Longchamp has a cult following and I've been lucky to have joined it in my first year of high school. I've lived with my black Longchamp on 3 continents.. Travel, class, shopping trips, gym, outings, work, it's been with me everywhere in good and bad weather. I'm clumsy, I don't baby my bags and just throw it over my shoulder or in a corner and despite that it barely shows any wear and tear except for tiny holes in the corners which are an easy fix but I refuse to get them done because they bring me comfort and they remind me of good memories. This bag is THE bag, it's always appropriate, it's classy, it's timeless.

This color is very ambiguous, it's sort of gray and blue and dark khaki and a washed out black all at the same time so I can combine it with most of my outfits. I bought the large one because I do a lot and this thing carries everything and more. I would recommend the medium one for a very classy look, large for busy people, small never - I think the small one is too unstructured to look good and the ones with short handles are not only hideous but also useless. For medium and large: I can't think of a single situation where this bag wouldn't work. I own a few both reps and original so it just made sense to invest in another piece. They're not too expensive but overpriced for a nylon bag, it's longevity makes up for it though and the leather handles are quite high quality.

A Pair of Handmade Mary Janes.

My everyday black beater ballet flats were falling apart so I needed another pair of black flats ASAP, it took me a few months to find an ample alternative because I am way too picky about my shoes. I don't really wear heels because they're uncomfortable and I live in a big city where I have to walk 10k on a bad day and my style leans elegant not sporty so sneakers don't look good on me either and I avoid them. I was open to a pair of Mary Janes, I'm not a big fan of shiny y2k patent leather chunky shoes, I think they look cartoonish, and I didn't want to look like a schoolgirl, so I was very very pleased when I found these classy ones online and immediately hit buy. I love it when I can look good with no effort and these do it every time. I'm thinking about getting them in velvet finish and smooth leather to add, not the full grain thing that's going on here. They're more grown up and elegant than the popular style, and they're flat. I wore them out a few times and I must say I am in love with them. The leather is smooth and buttery and they're as comfortable as house slippers. The bands are elastic so I don't need to do anything, I just jump in and I'm done.

A Pair of Back Seam Stockings.

My weapon in the event of an emergency. I love to spice things up once in a while, I may be covered from head to toe but that doesn't mean I can't lean into whatever I want to lean on, I'm doing it for my myself and god knows how love a good pair of stockings. I own all sorts of different lengths, derniers, models in my collection and I only own them in the black or a tan tone that matches my skin, all other colors look trash imho. I also dislike polka dots or any crazy patterns. My personal favs are lace and back seams. I hate to say it (I don't) but there is literally nothing more alluring then a pair of stockings on a woman and I love wearing them with my pencil skirts. Nobody knows what I'm wearing under my clothes and that's the way I want it. I'm wearing a visual emblem of my faith, I know and love who I am and what my identity means to me and millions of other women, it makes me feel so safe. And I love being a woman, I embrace my femininity and the power that comes with it, there's nothing like pulling up a pair of silky stockings and securing them with a garter belt so I am locked and loaded and good to go!

My reading year so far. Fourth Wing is a MASTERPIECE 🐉

[fireflys-locket]

I survived another birthday. And that's all I have to say about that. Let's move on to some favorites!

Persona 3 Reload: There's just something about the Persona gameplay loop that is so appealing to me. I love the social link system. And they've improved the battle system from the original game. And it just looks *so* good!

A Silent Voice: I've wanted to get into this manga for such a long time. Bullying is a very relatable subject for me. One I write about a lot, myself. I'm now about halfway through, and it's definitely making me feel a connection with the characters.

Tortured Poets Department: I hereby announce that I have begun my journey of listening to Taylor Swift's new album. As usual, I'm taking my time with it, and I've barely made a dent in this massive 31-song masterpiece. But I've been loving the fun, but heartbreaking I Can Do It with a Broken Heart, and the aching duo of So Long, London & How Did It End.

YouTube Favs: Plumbella's Sims Iceburg was my obsession for a couple of days this month. Very chaotic, very funny. I loved the deep dive into one of my favorite series.

Other Music Favs: Gold Rush (Taylor Swift), Roman Candles (Dizzy), Hands on Me (Levv), Horizon (Andrew Belle), Lullaby Singer (Anna Nalick), The Code (Nemo).

Ammonite (2020) dir. Francis Lee

+ Book+

Okay, I'm not exactly very fond of reading romance novels like this. But this book actually turns out to be good than I was expecting. I read this out of politeness because a dear friend recommended it, I didn't expect to like it so much I ended up reading all four books. Now, my friends and I are up till 3am debating which of the twisted girls we are. Anyway, this was a good book for sure.

+ the most memorable line you remember+

"The truth is deep down, we know exactly where we stand with someone. Hope blurs that line but, we know"

+ one random fact you learn+

Snakes have two penises

+ favorite moment this month +

NCT DREAM: THE DREAM SHOW 2 IN MANILA

This was the best! The feeling of finally seeing the people you desperately adored. Jumping and singing and more jumping and having fun with people who understands why you like them that way you do. I may have spent a lot of money for this but it was worth it!

Hope to see my dreamies again!

That's it for my April Favorites! Thank you!
