My heart is so dang full from seeing some fandom friends this past weekend. I'm still catching up on sleep but, y'know, worth it.
Chapter 3 of more than a footnote will be posted next week. Here's some fun Dev/Niall/Baz banter from that. I love their friendship so much.
Niall POV
Baz lowers himself into a chair and snatches one of the cups with his long fingers. “I don’t need any of whatever alcohol you’ve smuggled in here,” he says. “Yeah, you do.” Dev withdraws a flask from his jacket’s inner pocket and sloshes it back and forth. “This is a school-sanctioned dance. Booze makes it 110% better. ’Member the winter ball in sixth year?” Baz rolls his eyes, but a smile whispers across his lips. “When Niall and I had to carry you back to Mummers? You sang the whole way across the courtyard. Forever ruined Paramore for me.” “You,” Dev points a finger at Baz, eyebrow notching up, “sang with me.” “And I still firmly state you imagined that.” Dev slides his eyes to me. “Ni, mate, back me up. You heard him.” Now both Pitch cousins are staring at me. I grin behind my cup and wink at Baz. “My own memory is pretty fuzzy.” I’m rewarded with a wicked smile and approving nod from Baz, Good man.  I hold my cup out to Dev. “I do remember you singing in our room that night. Though you had graduated to My Chemical Romance by that point.” “Classic,” Baz says, sing-song. Dev sticks his tongue out at both of us, metal bar glinting neon under the dance floor lights, and then pours a generous amount of vodka into my ginger beer. “We are young,” he says. “We are hot. Why not have as much fun while we can?” Baz lifts a perfect eyebrow at Dev, and accuses, “You started early.” “Fuck yeah I did.” Dev adds the alcohol to his drink and raises the flask once more at Baz. “Fuuuun,” he says, drawing out the word, and waggles his eyebrows.  We both grin when Baz hands over his cup with a shake of his head. “Just this one,” he says. “Of course, cuz.” Vodka is poured, and the flask disappears into Dev’s jacket. “Wouldn’t want to impugn your angsty, brooding vibes.” “That’s not how you use that word,” Baz says with a dainty sip of his drink. “What, vibes?” I snort into my cup.
love love and more love to you all. I'd write more, maybe something charming and eloquent about art and story and community, but I'm truly well-zombified at the moment. y'all rock. mwah. 🖤

Happy 28th! Here are all the fics I read and enjoyed this month:
And What If I Were You | jacaranda_bloom | [110k] For Louis, will losing his sight give him the clarity to realise what is right in front of him? For Harry, will losing the love of his life give him the strength to finally open his heart? And can they find their way back, before they lose each other forever? A story of love. A story of loss. A story of fighting for each other, no matter the odds.
and i would search the night sky to find you | devilinmybrain (venomedveins) | [56k] Harry Styles is a high class, well-bred Omega attending Bosworth Academy - a prestigious boarding school looking over the small town on Kinsey. He has his whole life already planned for him, learning his place as the potential mate for an important Alpha, practicing his home making skills, and be obedient above all else. When he attends a school trip into town though, he meets Louis Tomlinson - a blacksmith and mouthy Alpha who doesn't particularly care for the standards of high society nor for the people in it. But things are not always what they seem and a past grievance may change the lives of everyone involved forever.
there's no pleasure in this resisting (so go ahead and kiss me) | etherealbliss | [26k] “No, Harry, you don’t get it. Like, I can hear you.” When he notices Harry’s disbelieving expression, Louis takes a shuddering breath before continuing. “I don't know how else to explain it. I can hear every breath you take, every song you sing along to, every sweet thing you mumble when no one is around, every sigh, every gasp, every moan…” Louis rubs his eyes with the palms of his hands. “It’s like my senses are heightened to the max, but only when it comes to you.” Louis stares up at him, eyes imploring, like he’s begging Harry to understand. “I can’t fucking sleep, because all I can think about, all I can focus on… is you.” He looks away, scoffing as he shakes his head, “And I don’t even know you.” or When Louis, a gorgeous alpha, moves into the flat next door, Harry's attention is immediately piqued. However, after a misplaced noise complaint and a series of interactions with the man that inspire a litany of fantasies, Harry soon realizes his attraction goes far deeper than he had initially assumed.
Loved You First | Snowy38 | [100k] Harry has lived his life ruled by anxiety, bullied by overbearing work-mates and ridiculed for his geeky look. When a new boss starts Harry can barely look him in the eye but Louis appears to be on his side. Soon Harry develops feelings for the protective and supportive Louis but Louis tries to fight it at first. There's rumours about Louis at his last work place and his penchant for his secretaries so Harry has a right to feel insecure. Harry slowly lets his curls break free as Louis thaws him and they embark on a new beginning together. Featuring Harry styled as Marcel, Niall as Louis' best friend and Zayn as Harry's gay mentor.
Place In Me | therogueskimo | [42k] Louis really didn’t like therapy, that much was true. He had become notoriously used to keeping his emotions close to his chest, opening up to no one, keeping up the facade of someone who had their life together, and therapy was a special kind of torture. But he would much rather be sitting in therapy right now than in the studio, waiting for Harry Styles to show up. The thing was, he could have said no. Louis could have read that text that reignited the band group chat after years of silence and ignored it. He could have just said he would come and then bailed. He could have told Harry to fuck off and blocked him. But no. He’d fallen into the exact trap that he was sure Harry had set by putting the message in the group chat instead of sending it to them individually. There was no way he could refuse when Niall and Liam had been so enthusiastically on board with the idea. ____________________ One Direction reunites in 2023. Louis and Harry haven’t spoken to each other in years.
Paparazzi | Darling28 | [93k] "Oi, what happened to treat people with kindness?" Louis yells loud enough for Harry to hear from across the street. "That goes for everyone but you!" Harry calls back and while he can only see the back of him, he gives him his middle finger again. ⊷ ❤︎︎ ⊶ Louis is a successful paparazzi that the stars love. He brings out the beautiful in them and treats them kindly. But then he suddenly gets the job of photographing Harry Styles for the next few months. Not only that the two constantly get into fights, but suddenly Louis has to question his true self. Because the star makes him doubt his sexuality.
Baby Steal My Heart Away | Snowy38 | [61k] Louis headed into the hall, seeing the Moses basket right away. "Wah-wah-wahhh!" Was that... Fuck. It was. It was a baby! A loudly crying, clearly unhappy-actually properly distressed baby. It was already red in the face and-- Why was there a baby? He looked up and around, palm flattening to his forehead to push his scruffy hair away from his clammy skin, checking he wasn't being punked.
Hung Up On You | hazzahtomlinson | [12k] Louis received a dick pick from a stranger and normally, he'd be completely furious at something like that-- except, whomever it was, had a super nice dick. If only the person attached to it hadn't turned out to be a complete asshole.

Leave a message (Niall Horan)
Request: Yes: Could you write something with a socially awkward female reader with Niall which is really cuddly and soft and maybe there’s some angst as well..? [bonus points if she has geeky interests such as Harry Potter, Star Trek, Marvel, Disney, Vintage Movies, etc] Thanks!! Pairing:Niall Horan x reader Summary: You’re a really introverted person. So, when someone starts to leave you messages, you’re not sure how to react. But you’re anxious to find out who it is. Let’s say you’re not disappointed at all when you meet the person that’s been writing you messages.  Warnings: None, this is pure fluff Word count: 4.7K (I got a little carried away) A/N: I loved this request and I loved writing it!! (That’s why it’s over 4K, I got a little carried away oops) I really love this piece, and I hope you do to! I added some of my personal favorite books and series to it, I hope you all like it. To the one who requested it, I hope it’s like you had in mind. Enjoy reading!!
Books & Coffee. A really simple name for the store your parents own. Simple. The best way to describe your parents’ store. It’s not a big, shiny store that’s up to date with all the latest trends. It’s not located on a busy shopping street in a big city. It’s a small and cozy store that’s filled with secondhand books, some with stains all over them. Some of the books have old letters in them, some are dusty, and some look like they have been read at least a hundred times. There’s even a shelf called the “Leave a message shelf”. Visitors can write a message, a note, a song, a poem, or anything else in one of the books, and put it back. For others to read. 
Visitors can read the books while enjoying a homemade cup of coffee. No triple caramel shot frappe chino’s or latte macchiatos with a whole painting in the foam. Books & Coffee has regular coffee, tea, lemonade, and five or six cookies, muffins and cakes. Nothing special. Just simple, basic stuff. You’d think a store like that wouldn’t last long in today’s world. A world that’s filled with people that keep on wanting more and more. Books & Coffee isn’t located on a busy shopping street. It doesn’t have a fancy Instagram page, or a Twitter account, let alone Facebook. It has one simple website. Still, Books & Coffee has managed to survive after all these years.
Your parents loved running the store, and that’s why most of the customers loved it so much. A simple, cozy store, where one could read a book in peace while enjoying a cup of tea. Most of the regulars always dropped by to say hello, or to look at the books on the Leave a message shelf. You grew up between the bookshelves. You learned how to take orders, make coffee, organize books and how to make sure customers were happy from a very young age. No wonder you are now working in your parents’ store whenever you could. 
You loved the store. With its dusty books, the faint smell of coffee that always seemed to be around, the regular customers. You’re a fairly shy and introverted person, but you always felt like home whenever you’re in the store. You talked to everyone in the store, unlike the rest of your days. Outside the store, you weren’t much of a talker. You mostly kept to yourself, observing others. You were never the one to start a conversation. But down at Books & Coffee, it seemed like you were a whole other person. You talked to people, walked up to them, laughed with strangers. Thank god the cute guy that lived a couple blocks away showed up at the store one day, because you were sure that if you had met him on the streets, you would have looked at the ground and kept on walking. But lucky for you, you met him at the store.
It’s a regular Saturday. The store is filled with some of the regular customers, along with new customers. Your father is taking care of the drinks and your mother is discussing something with a customer. They assigned you to making sure the store looks neat. So, you’re dusting the shelves, moving some books, putting them back on the shelves they’re supposed to. You’re distracted by a book on the Leave a message shelf. It’s a new book. Someone must have put it there because you don’t recognize it. You frown as you take it out off the shelf. 
You read the words on the cover of the book. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You smile. It’s one of your favorites. You open the book and flick through the pages. Your eyes land on a written message.Does the cute girl with the braids that works here have a name?You frown again as you re-read the words. You always wear your hair in braids. Either one, or two braids. Today, you’re wearing two braids. Your eyes look across the store, to try to find the one who wrote it. You can’t find anyone who looks like they would have written a message to you. It could be some kind of lame joke, but there’s no one around that looks like they would do that. You get a pen and hesitate before writing an answer. The girl does have a name. Y/N. And she would like to know who wrote this. You bite your lip and look at the message before putting the book back on the shelf. You can’t help but to smile to yourself as you continue to dust the shelf.
On Sunday, you are at the store again. You make your way over to the Leave a message shelf as soon as your parents open the door. You get the Harry Potter book and flick through the pages as fast as you can, looking for the page with the written message on it. The smile fades from your lips when you discover there is no new message. You left the store early yesterday, hoping the message writer would be back. But it appears you were wrong. Feeling a bit disappointed, you head over to the front of the store, taking place behind the counter to take orders from customers. At every dingof the bell hanging by the door, your head shoots up to see if the person entering the store could be the one writing you messages. There are a couple people that enter the store that look like they could have written the message. But from your place behind the counter you can’t see the Leave a message shelf.
Around 2 pm, your mother takes over and tells you to put the new books on the shelves where they belong. You basically run to the Leave a message shelf. Your fingers run across the books until you find the one you are looking for. Your heart jumps when you find it at a different spot you put it the day before. You open the book, look for the page and see the familiar handwriting. A bright smile appears on your face when you find a new message, written just underneath your answer. Pretty name for a pretty girl (cheesy but true). My name is Niall. And I would like to apologize for the fact that I wrote on one of your favorite books. The smile on your face grows as you read the words. Niall. He wasn’t one of the regular customers, you would recognize his name. And he called you pretty. Not a lot of people had called you pretty. Sure, your parents called you pretty, but that didn’t count. This was a boy showing interest in you. As exciting as it was, you were a bit scared as well. A part of you was still wondering if this wasn’t some prank. You read the words again, focusing on the last sentence. How did this Niall know it was one of your favorite books? You get out your pen to write a message back to him. Niall, how did you come up with the idea of writing me messages? And how do you know this is one of my favorite books? You look at the words. You bite your lip as you stare at the page. Then you add X, Y/N to it. You exhale as you close the book and put it back. You jump a little and walk toward the back of the store to get the new books.
Monday. It’s like the hours seem to pass by even slower than they used to. You’re sitting in the back of the room, listening to your professor going on and on about some sort of poet you’re not interested in. Normally, you’d pay attention in Literature class, given that you love books and everything that comes with it. But today, your mind is focused on Niall. Would he leave you another message while you’re at college? You watch the seconds go by slowly. You continue to listen to the dull voice of your professor. As soon as the bell rings, you throw your things randomly in your bag, you swing the straps of your bag around your shoulders and head toward the exit of the building. You have a lot of deadlines coming up in the upcoming weeks, and you should be heading home to work on the essays. But you can’t help but to go to Books & Coffee first. You have to know if he left you another message. When you enter the store, your father gives you a confused look, Monday isn’t one of your regular days. You tell him you need to check something before you’re going home to work on the essays. Your feet take you to the familiar shelve and you quickly look at the books. You find the one you’re looking for at the same place you put it back the day before. Nevertheless, you get the book and open it. Your eyes fall on the written messages. But there’s no new one. You look at the time. It’s nearly 4 pm. Maybe Niall had to go to college as well? Maybe he had to go to work? The store wouldn’t close until 7. You wanted to stay and wait in case he showed up and wrote you an answer. But you couldn’t fail college because you were waiting for a boy. You put the book back on the shelf and left the store. You would check again tomorrow. For now, your essays are waiting for you at home.
It’s Tuesday, another day at college. You had spent the entire Monday evening working on your essays. You didn’t bother going back to the store before it closed. The hours go by as slow as they did yesterday. Once the last bell rings, you head to Books & Coffee. You always scheduled Tuesday’s free, so you could help out at the store.
You open the door and your usual coffee is waiting for you on the counter. You take the cup and walk to your favorite chair. It’s a big green-blue-ish chair, and you can see the entire store from your spot. You look at the people entering the store and every now and then you hear a part of a conversation. You didn’t check on the Harry Potter book yet, though you couldn’t help but look at the shelf every once in a while. You still hope Niall shows up. Once you finish your coffee, you take the cup back to the counter and put it in the sink. Your mom asks you if you can check for new arrivals. You nod at her and make your way to the back of the store. There are only a few new arrivals which you can carry in a box.
You open the door to the store and your eyes land on someone standing in front of the Leave a message shelf. He’s taller than you are. You can’t see his face that well, but you notice his nice outfit. He looks like he knows what he’s doing. From what you can tell, he’s around your age. His eyes look at the books on the shelf, and he smiles when his eyes land on the book he was looking for. Your heart stops when he takes the book off the shelf. You recognize the red cover. It’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. You watch him as he opens the book. He reads a page and smiles before taking a pen out of his pocket. He writes something on the page. You can’t believe it. There actually is someone who writes you those messages. Suddenly, your eyes meet a pair of blue ones. He must have had the feeling someone was watching him. Instead of turning away, he holds up the book and smiles.
‘I still feel a bit guilty about writing in your favorite book.’ he says. You can hear his accent, and you immediately love it. You still have a shocked look on your face as you slowly walk up to him, still carrying the box of new books. ‘Hi.’ he says and he smiles. God, that smile. ‘I’m Niall.’ ‘Figured. Y/N.’ you say. You look at the box in your hands. ‘I- uh- would shake your hand.’ you say softly. ‘That’s okay.’ says Niall. You nod your head toward the familiar book with the red cover. ‘Can I ask what you wrote?’ you say. Niall chuckles. He gets the book off the shelf, opens it and reads what he wrote. ‘Dear Y/N, I decided to write to you because I don’t have the guts to talk to a pretty girl like you. And I know it’s your favorite book because you wear Harry Potter shirts all the time. Plus, I heard you talking to one of the owners of the shop once. Do you want to have coffee with me some time?’ says Niall. He closes the book and looks at you. ‘You really think I’m pretty?’ you say and you feel your cheeks heat up. ‘I do. I think you’re really beautiful, Y/N. And I would love to get to know you better.’ says Niall. ‘Well, thank you. You’re- uh- beautiful as well. Not at all like I pictured you. Not that I’m disappointed, no, not at all! I just- sorry. I suck at talking to others. Let alone talk to someone who thinks I’m pretty.’ you say, tripping over your words. But instead of turning you down, Niall chuckles and pulls out his phone. ‘Can I get your number? That way we can text about when we go grab a coffee.’ says Niall. ‘If you’re interested in that, of course.’ You smile. ‘I am definitely interested in that.’ you say. You give him your number. Niall explains he has work to do, but decided to drop by to see if you wrote to him. He smiles at you, and with a ‘Catch you later, pretty girl!’, he leaves the store.
For the rest of the day, you couldn’t stop smiling. You couldn’t believe Niall was so nice in person. And attractive. Not to mention his accent. You check your phone every five minutes, to see if he texted you. But you assume he’s busy, like he told you. Your parents ask you why you’re so happy but all you can do is smile and mumble a soft “it’s nothing”. Except it was everything but that. Your whole life you had been this invisible person. Classmates never knew your name and you never had many friends. You have always been a shy, introverted person. No one really payed attention to you. Which lead to lonely days at school and being single your entire life. But that was about to change. Niall showed interest in you, talked to you, and he called youpretty. You wait all night to get a text from him. But when you go to sleep, he still hasn’t texted you. You don’t mind, though, he’s going to text you eventually.
On Wednesday, you wake up and the first thing you do is check your phone. Your face lights up when you see a few messages from an unknown number. The first one says Hey Y/N, it’s Niall. Sorry for not texting earlier, had lots of stuff to do. And the second one is sent only seconds later. You’re probably asleep right now, I’ll see you at Books & Coffee, sweet dreams. It may sound cliché and cheesy, but you couldn’t help but to let out a squeal and hug your phone to your chest. Maybe you and Niall would turn out to become something beautiful.
Once you enter the store, your eyes scan the room for a pair of blue eyes. When you can’t see them, you head over to the Leave a message shelf. Even though Niall has your number now, he might write you a message in the book anyway. You get the book off the shelf and open it on the page that’s been written on. There’s one new sentence, written in the same handwriting as the previous one. Turn around. You look up and turn around. Niall is sitting in your usual chair, smiling at you. You put the book back and walk over to his spot. ‘I believe this is your chair?’ he asks smiling. ‘It is. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of chairs here.’ you say and you sit down in the chair across from Niall. ‘So, do you think we could get that coffee now and get to know each other?’ says Niall. You nod. ‘Yeah sure.’ ‘Choose anything you want, drinks are on me.’ says Niall. ‘Actually, I can get them for free.’ you say. ‘I work here, remember? So, if you could just tell me what you want, I can go and get it.’ ‘Right, I forgot about that for a moment. I’ll have a coffee, please.’ says Niall and he smiles again. You smile back at him and you head over to the counter to get your drinks. As you’re getting two coffee’s, your mom walks up to you. ‘Who is the cute guy you were talking to?’ she asks. You can’t help but to smile. ‘A friend.’ you say. She looks at you with the familiar are-you-sure-he’s-just-a-friend look in her eyes. ‘Do you want him to be more than a friend?’ she asks. You feel your cheeks heat up. ‘Maybe. Yes. I don’t know. We still need to get to know each other. But I do like him. He thinks I’m pretty.’ you say. ‘Well what are you waiting for? He looks like a nice guy, why don’t you invite him over for dinner tonight?’ she asks and you nearly knock over your mug. ‘Mom. We only just met. I just want to talk to him before I drag him home.’ you say. ‘Alright, alright, your call.’ she says before continuing to help customers.
You take the two mugs and grab two muffins and you walk back to Niall. You place the drinks and the muffins on the table. ‘There you go, on the house.’ you say. You sit down and look at Niall. He looks up from the mug in his hands and smiles at you again. ‘What’s on your mind?’ he asks. You take a sip of your coffee as you think of an answer. ‘I’m a really shy person. Really introverted. I never had many friends. I was always invisible to the world. No one talked to me or looked at me even if we were in the same room. But you, you notice me. You talk to me. And you call me pretty. No one’s called me pretty before. I just don’t get why you show interest in me. I am a nobody. And you are, from what I can tell, an amazing person who is not scared to talk to strangers.’ you tell him. Niall puts his mug down on the table and looks at you. ‘I show interest in you because I genuinely want to know you. Because I think you’re pretty and I want to know what you’re like. I want to know what your personality is like. I want to know your interests and the things you don’t like. I want to know what you do for a living and why you love this store so much. I want to know those things because I really am interested in you. And I’m surprised no one’s talked to a pretty girl like you before I did.’ says Niall. You look at him and he looks at you. The way he talks to you, how he’s always smiling at you, he’s not lying. He is interested in you. And you can’t deny it, you’re interested in him as well. Why not give it a shot?
You and Niall talk for hours, getting to know each other. He tells you he’s a singer and after a long time of asking, you listen to a few of his songs. His voice amazes you and you keep on wanting to listen to more of his music, but he turns off your phone so you can continue the conversation. You tell him about college and working in the store. You tell him it’s your parents’ store and you can’t remember not being in the store. You tell him how it was your idea to set up the Leave a message shelf. Niall laughs at your story and thanks you because otherwise “I never would have met an amazing girl as you”. The longer you talk, the more you realize how easy it is to talk to Niall. It’s not like any other first conversation. Those are usual filled with awkwardness and long periods of silence, but with Niall it is like you have known him for years. About twenty minutes before the store is going to close, your mom calls you, telling you the new arrivals are here. You jump up, completely forgetting about Niall, who was in the middle of telling you a story. You turn to Niall and smile. ‘I always get to look at the new arrivals first and I can pick some to keep. Want to come with me?’ you say. ‘Well, I don’t know if-‘ you cut him off by telling him it’s fun, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the back of the store. You open the door and immediately spot a few boxes. You head over to the first box and sit down on the ground next to it. You open it and look at the covers. ‘Finally!’ you say and you get out a book. ‘What is it?’ says Niall as he sits down next to you. You turn the book to him so he can read the cover. ‘The behind the scenes book of the series Star Trek Enterprise!’ you say and you smile brightly. You open the book and flick through the pages. ‘I have been looking for this since forever! I was always looking for it at book shops and markets and online, but I never found it. And now it just arrives at our store! I can’t believe it.’ you say. You look up at Niall and see there’s a soft smile on his lips. ‘What?’ you say. ‘It’s cute how you get all excited about little things.’ says Niall. You blush and put the book down next to me. ‘I spend the majority of my youth reading books, comics and watching movies and tv shows. I have a lot of favorites.’ you say. ‘I can tell.’ says Niall and he moves to sit closer to you. Your shoulder touches his and you blush even more at the contact. ‘That’s why I wrote in a Harry Potter book in the first place, because I knew you would take a look at it.’ says Niall. You turn your head to look at him and notice how close his face is to yours. ‘Look, I know we only just met, but I feel like we really have a connection. And I can tell you feel the same way. I really like talking to you, and just hanging around this beautiful bookstore with you. I don’t want to mess this up or move too fast, but I just really, really like you Y/N. Which is why I would very much like to kiss you right now. If you’re okay with that.’ says Niall and his blue eyes never leave yours. You take a deep breath and smile at him. ‘Yeah.’ you say softly. ‘Yeah, I’m okay with that.’ ‘Wonderful.’ whispers Niall. He leans in and holds your face with both of his hands. His lips brush against yours before he presses them against yours in a soft kiss. You close your eyes when Niall pulls back and rests his forehead against yours. ‘I think I really like you, Niall.’ you whisper. ‘Good. I really like you as well. But I think you already knew that, didn’t you, pretty girl?’ says Niall. You blush at the nickname. ‘Yeah, I did.’ you say and you hesitate for a moment, but then you lean in and press a kiss to his lips. The two of you quickly pull away when you hear footsteps approaching. The door opens and your mom walks in. ‘Y/N, dear, did you take a look at all the books?’ she asks. ‘Not all of them.’ you say. ‘I did find this.’ you hold up the Star Trek book. Niall chuckles. ‘She got really excited about that one.’ says Niall. ‘You should have seen her when she found a limited-edition Marvel comic book, she went completely nuts about it. Wouldn’t shut up about it.’ you mom says. ‘Mom, stop.’ you say, feeling a bit embarrassed. ‘Well, you can take a look at those new books tomorrow morning, I’m putting them in the store around lunch time. We’re closing now.’ she says. You get up and Niall does the same. ‘You two go ahead, I’ll close the door behind you.’ says your mom and she winks at you when Niall isn’t looking.
You walk toward the door and your hand brushes against Niall’s. He is quick to intertwine his fingers with yours as the two of you step out in the cold evening air. You turn around and look at Niall. ‘I had a great time, Niall.’ you say. ‘So did I, pretty girl.’ says Niall and you blush at the nickname. ‘Is that what you’re going to call me now?’ you tease. ‘Probably. But only because it makes you blush and that’s incredibly cute.’ says Niall and it makes you blush even more. Niall laughs and steps closer to you. ‘But seriously, I had an amazing time. Can I see you again?’ he asks. ‘I’d like that.’ you say. ‘Okay. I’ll text you. Or I’ll call you. I might leave you a message in a book.’ he says and he winks at you. ‘That’s fine with me.’ you say. You stand on your toes and give him a kiss on the corner of his mouth. ‘Goodnight Niall.’ you say. ‘Goodnight pretty girl.’ says Niall and you blush yet again. Niall laughs and you playfully roll your eyes at him. ‘I’m going that way.’ says Niall and he points at the street behind you. ‘I gotta wait for my mom.’ you say and Niall nods. ‘Talk to you soon.’ says Niall and he walks past you. ‘Bye.’ you say softly.
Your eyes follow him as he walks away. ‘Niall!’ you call and he turns around. ‘Thank you. For walking up to me. Talking to me. I know I said I normally am an introverted and shy person. But when I’m around you I don’t feel shy at all. I like being around you. So, thank you.’ you say. ‘I’m glad to hear that. Sweet dreams, Y/N.’ says Niall and he turns around and keeps on walking. You look at him until you can’t see him anymore. On the way home, you don’t talk to your mom, your mind is focused on Niall and the time you spend at the back of the store. He really did make you feel good. He made you feel confident. And it had been a long time since someone managed to make you feel confident. You smiled as you thought about the kiss. He kissed you. And he kept calling you pretty girl. You’re already looking forward to spending more time with him. You hear a faint ping coming from your pocket. You take out your phone and see Niall sent you a message. Had a great time. Sweet dreams, pretty girl. You smile at the message and at his name on the screen. You unlock your phone, open your contact app and add a little heart to Niall’s name. You’re confident you and Niall would last for a very long time.
A/N: If you want to request something, make sure to read my house rules Here’s the list of characters I write for. Everything that I have written can be found on my masterlist. Please don’t repost my work, as I spend much time and effort on it!! Thank you for reading! Much love, Jo

Hi!! Can you give some bad boy louis/punk louis with nerdy/geeky harry and vice versa fics!! Thanks!!
Hi there! Here a few that I hope you will enjoy x
punk!louis:
Give Me Truths 
‘Just like a little cat,’ Louis thought later, as he drifted off to sleep. 'A little kitten with his claws sunk right into me.’ It isn’t that terrible of a thought, after all.………….Louis is a psychology student with a tattoo count as high as his genius IQ. Harry is in a (sort-of) relationship with a homophobic man and hates himself a little more every day. Things fall apart and Louis puts him back together.
Or, the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.
Sun-kissed Hurricane, Perfect Storm 
Harry is the quiet kid in the back of his statistics class who writes a lot and dreams about Louis’ cheekbones . Louis needs a statistics tutor ASAP before he flunks and the quiet kid in the back of the class seems like a good choice. Harry wants to help Louis however he can and Louis wants to see how much he can make Harry blush.
You’ll Be the Death of Me
Basically Louis is a punk who is failing history and Harry is a nerd who’s really good at surprising him.
Never In Your Wildest Dreams 
It’s prom night and Harry’s all alone – still nerdy, still has those magnifying glasses of spectacles, and still a loser. But that night was nothing of the ordinary as two drunken blue eyes watched him with lust and he didn’t even know it. (Or the time when a nerdy Harry fucks the brains out of a drunk Louis)
punk!harry:
Can I Make It Any More Obvious?
“I don’t have a good past. With boys. I’ve dated some crap guys who’ve done terrible things to me and I've…I’ve done some crazy shit with some guys, and Niall and Liam have always pulled me through, they’ve always had my best interests in mind. And they…they don’t think that you’re good for me.” Louis finished, sighing and looking down at the tiles. “And the least I can do is listen to them, because I really do adore you, but if I get with you and I fuck things up, like I tend to do, then I’ll lose their trust and yours, and I don’t want that. I can’t–I can’t deal with that. It’d kill me.”
[AU where Louis does ballet and Harry is the epitome of everything Louis’ friends want him to stay away from]
These Constant Stars
Louis’ career has nowhere to go but up. He’s living at the height of New York City on the precipice of an epic promotion. Life is good and only getting better. And then one day, things turn disastrous.
This is a story about life, death, and punk rockers turned guardian angels.
Title inspired by “Fool’s Gold” by One Direction.
Baby Heaven’s in your Eyes 
They couldn’t be more different if they tried. Louis Tomlinson is 17 years old and in his last year of the most prestigious private school in Doncaster. Everyone who attends his school knows him thanks to his incredibly rich family, sassy attitude and gorgeous girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. If there’s one thing that completely annoys him, it’s that there is a poor community college right across the street.
Harry Styles is 19 years old, and (once again) in his last year of college. He goes to community college in Doncaster. He never shows up to classes and if he actually bothers to, he’s either high or drunk; sometimes both. His skin is littered with tattoos and if there’s one thing he absolutely hates, it’s the snobby students attending the private school right across from his.
Or a sixth form!AU where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Louis is the perfect rich boy with too much money and their schools are right across from each other. They meet at a party and that’s the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.
Not all of these have the nerdy/geeky aspect to them, but I hope you’ll enjoy them anyway! Happy reading!

And if he just so happens to have a tiny, miniscule crush on the footie captain, Louis Tomlinson, well, that’s no one’s business but his own. Until Louis notices him back…

100k+ fics
Fics so good I read them in one sitting, bc who needs sleep.
Give Me Truths - 'Just like a little cat,' Louis thought later, as he drifted off to sleep. 'A little kitten with his claws sunk right into me.' It isn’t that terrible of a thought, after all. ............. Louis is a psychology student with a tattoo count as high as his genius IQ. Harry is in a (sort-of) relationship with a homophobic man and hates himself a little more every day. Things fall apart and Louis puts him back together.Or, the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.  (chaptered, complete, 110k, painful but also so cute)
Darkness -  Innocent, wealthy, and sheltered Louis Tomlinson arrives to London for a new life and in hope of adventure but instead he meets local badboy Harry Styles. Louis has no idea who Harry really is or what he's capable of but once he finds out that his angel is no angel at all it's a bit too late because Louis has already fallen. But will Harry's Darkness consume him completely? Based on the youtube video Dark. (chaptered, complete, 116k)
But Please, Don’t Bite -  "Melodic little jingle sounded from a bell hanging over the doorframe and warm indoor air curled heavily around his shivering body for the first time in months. Harry suddenly felt a sting in the corners of his eyes and had to force down a broken sob. Fuck, he was a mess. Such a mess. He had to focus."  (chaptered, complete, 122k, not sure if it made me cry or smile more)
Loved You First - Harry has lived his life ruled by anxiety, bullied by overbearing work-mates and ridiculed for his geeky look. When a new boss starts Harry can barely look him in the eye but Louis appears to be on his side. Soon Harry develops feelings for the protective and supportive Louis but Louis tries to fight it at first. There's rumours about Louis at his last work place and his penchant for his secretaries so Harry has a right to feel insecure. Harry slowly lets his curls break free as Louis thaws him and they embark on a new beginning together. Featuring Harry styled as Marcel, Niall as Louis' best friend and Zayn as Harry's gay mentor.  (chaptered, complete, 100k, everything by this author is honestly a blessing)
Run Like the Devil - Harry stops pouting, but his frown is still fixed in place. “Are you sure?” he asks. “You know it’s your soul you’re signing away.” He sounds…sad? No, that’s not right, but there’s something. Christ. This is the most incompetent demon Louis’ ever met. If he hadn’t seen the red of his eyes he wouldn’t believe he was a demon at all. How’d he get this job if he isn’t trying to convince Louis to deal? Or is it just another trick? A ploy for sympathy?“I’m sure,” Louis says. “Come over here and kiss me.” *Supernatural AU. Louis hunts demons; Harry's the strangest demon he's ever met, and he keeps fucking meeting him.  (chaptered, complete, 138k, has a short sequel, this fic physically hurt me but it was worth it)
Swim In The Smoke - “What about this, Captain?” Liam asks, nudging the boy kneeling between their feet with the toe of his boot. The boy hisses and swipes at him, slurring out something unintelligible around the makeshift gag Niall had to stuff in his mouth. He misses by a mile and tries again, just as ineffectively. Harry looks down at him, at the way the sun streams over his face and shoulders, at the way the gag stretches his mouth, lips pink and chapped. He’s lithe and pretty, smudged all over with dirt. They had found him tied up below deck, mostly unconscious, next to a barrel full of gold. He’s clearly a prisoner, but there’s something familiar about him, something that niggles at Harry’s brain. Something he can’t quite put his finger on. “Put him in my cabin,” Harry decides, turning back to deal with the rest of the loot. The boys screams out jumbled curse words at Harry’s back, muffled by the gag, and Harry can’t understand any of it.  (chaptered, complete, 101k, I wasn’t sure about this fic at first but it’s so worth it if you read all of the way through)
I Can Feel the Draw - Louis, not having pulled a job in a while, is convinced to help con millionaire art collector Harry Styles. To do so, Louis has to keep Harry safe. It should be easy, but Louis finds himself possibly falling in love with him, which compromises himself and the others.  (chaptered, complete, 113k, part of a series, the ending made me sad but I still loved it)
Gods & Monsters -  The instructions were simple: seduce and destroy Harry Styles. Not once did they discuss the option of Louis actually falling in love. So, naturally, that's exactly what he did. (chaptered, complete, 201k, I literally read this in less than 36 hours instead of sleeping)
Worth Killing For, Worth Dying For -  Louis was born into the Mafia and someday will take over as Boss. Harry is a college freshman who thinks his biggest worries are keeping up with his classes and avoiding his meddling neighbor. Featuring Zayn and Liam who are never on the right page, while Niall only sits back and watches the drama unfold. (chaptered, incomplete, 241k, absolutely incredible)

ok i'm trash and haven't read as much of your work as i would've liked BUT i do know you have this incredible writing talent and your attention to detail is spot on. like, for example, those more ~sexy scenes, there's so much focus on the feelings between them and touched and curves of the body etc and I LOVE IT. i love the detail. i love your writing. i also need to finish sangria 💖💖💖
Shh, Leesh, it’s fine; my ‘to read’ list is grossly long.
Writing details is my favorite, so I’m always so excited when people point them out. I think my favorite part of writing is conveying the imagery, because when I write, the scenes always play out in my head and I think, “How can I write that in a way that paints a picture in the reader’s mind, too?” 
When it comes to smut…allow me to be my geeky self for a minute. I’m a big fan of 90s R&B because the songs were sexy in a way that wasn’t crass. It was sensual, and there was a sense of romance tied in even if the lyrics were very clearly suggestive. I mean, sometimes those lyrics were BLUNT but with the sound, the songs just…seduced the hell out of you. Nowadays, R&B, when sex is involved, is more vulgar and a lot of that sensuality has been lost. So when I try to write smut scenes, I go with a 90s R&B vibe - I think there’s a way of writing smut that isn’t “safe,” so to speak, where the language is a bit more bold and blunt, but doesn’t cross the line of being really crass or cringe-worthy. That’s a balance I’ve tried to play with in the past couple of years and hopefully, I’ve been relatively successful. I think it’s just trying to focus on the feeling of the scenes in terms of what the characters themselves are feeling about the moment, about the sex, about each other, that makes those scenes carry the weight you hope they do as a writer. 
I think ‘sangria’ was a real expression of this sentiment for me - I listened to nothing but songs by one of my favorite 90s R&B artists while I wrote it, and I think that set the tone for the piece as a whole but especially those intimate scenes between Niall and Teyana.
‘sangria’ will be there whenever you get around to it! No worries! I hope that you like it once you’ve finished. Thanks for saying such sweet things about my writing and I’m flattered that you enjoy it so much! 💗💗💗

It's Sunday night, and I've got a few fun things to share with you! Which is a small miracle because this past week was rough. Grateful for friends, stupid amounts of tea, and this community. 💛
Thank you for the tags today @blackberrysummerblog (v excited for your COBB), @rimeswithpurple (Niall!!), @thewholelemon (hellooo 5x1, this already rocks), @artsyunderstudy (we are def in this together and you're brilliant) and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe (we get your new wip this week??!!). 🩵 to you all.
I'm not sharing a ton of writing today because chapter 1 of my deniall fic will drop tomorrow. This has been a blast to write, and I'm so excited to start posting. We've got a title: more than a footnote.
And we've got a banner!
Tumblr media
Here are two short snippets, Niall POV:
Dev has snatched my textbook away, and he takes a few steps back until he’s leaning against the side of my bed, homework held hostage against his chest. He taps his fingers against the book and smirks at me. His fingernails are painted a deep navy today, I notice distractedly. I notice it like one might note a passing cloud formation. It’s there, it’s pretty, it’ll change by tomorrow.
“Wistful, you say?” “Fucking moony, Niall.” “Think he’ll be at dinner tonight? We can ask him about it.” “Oh,” Dev says, and leans towards me until I can smell his warm, spicy cologne, his dark eyes a scheming fire. “I have a much better idea.”
love and tags under the cut!

Thanks for the tags @artsyunderstudy (queuing up some star trek snowbaz for tonight) and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe (simply cannot wait for this fic to premiere). And thanks to everyone who has tagged me recently. I've been quiet for a few weeks. Life and work and mental health shit, but also I got so very stuck with both my wips. I invested a lot of creative energy into lost boys and then got ... lost tbh. Burned out. All the joy got sucked out, which broke my heart. It's on a shelf right now. I'll return to it (that Baz is very precious to me) but I need a break. I can't bear to look at it atm.
And then! My COBB decided to set fire to my original outline and go off on an unanticipated hike through the woods without a map. No nav equipment. I'm not even confident it knows which star is north. It's just ... wandering around with zero fucks about due dates or timelines, which has sent me into a panic spiral. My one wip is an angsty teenager who has shut himself in his room and refuses to talk (and like same dude), and the other thinks they're Bear Grylls with the survival instincts of a spoiled house cat. EPIC TIMES.
So I started a new wip. (Obviously.)
I needed something fun. Joyful. Something that reminded me why I like writing in the first place. And my boys Dev and Niall fucking showed up, and I'm halfway done with a lil Watford-era, canon divergent wip from their perspectives. It's the most self-indulgent thing I have ever written, and I'm having a blast. Eternal love to my fellow Dev/Niall stan and comrade (and beta!) @valeffelees, and to @bookish-bogwitch and @thewholelemon for cheering this fic on. And thanks to @iamamythologicalcreature and @best--dress for chatting about craft and process and validating that sometimes projects need rest and restoration, and breaks are a natural part of creativity.
Short snip of untitled deniall fic below the cut:
Niall POV, Watford, year 7
“You’re the worst, Niall.” I grin. “So you always say.” I stretch my arms up and flex my fingers before interlacing them behind my head. “And yet you keep running to me for advice.” Dev’s nostrils flare, and there’s a very real moment I think he’s gonna punch me in the shoulder, but then his face splits into a sharp, crooked smile, and he shucks off his blazer. He tosses it toward his bed, but it only partially makes it and falls to the floor.   “You give the best advice,” Dev says, and I see the flash of his tongue piercing. “You’re so practical.”  He begins undressing. Casual, unhurried movements, until his entire school uniform is a wrinkled bundle on his bed, sans jacket which is still on the floor, and he’s rooting around his dresser in nothing but pants and socks. The light from the late afternoon sun cuts through our window of Mummers, casting him in muted orange and amber. He does this all the time. Mindlessly strips in front of me. We don’t have an ensuite like Baz does (the lucky bastard), and Dev has always been comfortable in his body. He’s open and confident in a way that makes my chest ache. I wish I were more like that, but I’m sinew and bone whereas Dev is polish and muscle. Half the time I feel like something the cat drags in, and Dev, well … Dev’s the cat.
