Looking in the Eyes of a Stranger (part one)

Author's note: hello lovers <3

So, this is the rewrite of my old Nouis fic 'Thanks To The Internet', that I started writing last night. Reading the original fic back now makes me cringe lol, so this is the new version of it! It's a brand new name, new story (technically), but it'll be based off of the original storyline. Apparently, when I was first writing, I said screw the story development, let's get straight into the angst and hurting our beautiful Nialler hahahah. It just seemed so rushed and unrealistic, so because of that, I have began to rewrite it. Please let me know what you think and please be honest lol. I'll have part two up before Christmas! <3

SUMMARY: Being a 15 year old is anything but simple. When Niall Higgins meets Louis Tomlinson online, a crush is developed and family life gets complicated.

Characters:  Niall Horan as Niall Higgins (15) Louis Tomlinson as Louis Tomlinson (17) Harry Styles as Harry Higgins (18) Eleanor Calder as Eleanor Higgins (12) Liam Payne as Liam Payne (15) Danielle Peazer as Danielle Peazer (15) Paul Higgins as Paul Higgins (45) Preston Mahon as Preston Higgins (47)

Harry is Niall’s older brother.  Eleanor is Niall’s younger sister.  Liam is Niall’s best friend.  Danielle is Liam’s girlfriend/Niall’s best friend.  Paul (papa) and Preston (dad)  are Niall, Harry and Eleanor’s adoptive parents.  Louis is Niall’s online friend/crush. 

15 year old Niall Higgins thought his life was average. He had two fathers and two siblings who loved him, even though they aren’t blood related. His best friends were awesome. His online friend and crush was beautiful (or so he thought from the few pictures he’s seen). School was school, okay, but he was pleased he was in his final year. So, a pretty average life, if you asked him. Besides, being online for hours everyday was normal for a teenager, right? 

Did he mention he was gay?

He had met Louis five months ago on a messaging site. His fathers had warned him of the dangers of talking to strangers online, but he knew Louis wasn't like that. They had video called once or twice, though they couldn't speak due to neither of them having a microphone, but it was still fun and they saw each other's faces, so it was all good in Niall's opinion. However, his parents didn't know the details. He was 15 for goodness sake, he didn't need to tell his parents everything. They knew he had a friend called Louis, and that Niall liked him, but they didn't know that Louis was two years older than him, they would freak out if they ever found out. So, Niall didn't tell them.

His 18 year old brother, Harry, had accidently walked in on them video calling one day, and when he questioned Niall about Louis, the younger boy had confessed that Louis was slightly older than him and begged him not to tell their parents. Harry, being the good big brother he was, promised he wouldn't, as long as Niall was careful and if he was to ever meet Louis in real life, he'd take Harry with him. Niall, of course, promised he would and had thanked his brother profusely. The two brothers had always been close, and Harry didn't want to jepodise that over a silly internet crush. Harry was young once, he knew what it was like. Besides, he'd probably grow out of it soon enough.

Honestly, Niall was beyond happy. He was actually doing better than he'd ever done at school because of Louis. His parents were proud of him and had actually recently bought him a new guitar as a reward. You see, Niall was also a passionate singer, songwriter and guitarist. He was pretty good at it, too. He was in the process of writing his own song. His parents couldn't believe how good he was. The amount of times Niall had caught them secretly recording him singing and playing guitar was countless at this point, but he could never be mad at them for it. His dream was to become a musician, and apparently his parents were beyond supportive. Niall truly loved them.

Anyways, back to the story.

Niall was currently sat at his desk in his bedroom, computer on and open on the chat messages he was exchanging with Louis.

NiallHiggins08: OMG! You should've seen what Liam did in class today! 

NiallHiggins08: we were doing an experiment in chemistry and he mixed two liquids together and POOF they exploded and the entire room was a mess!! XD 

LouisTheTommo: thought he was supposed to be the sensible one?! Who's gonna keep you outta trouble now?! D: 

NiallHiggins08: HEY!! I can be sensible!!

NiallHiggins08: ...

NiallHiggins08: when I wanna be...

LouisTheTommo: oh PLEASE Nialler, you cannot be sensible to save your life :P 

NiallHiggins08: RUDE!! I resent that. No song snippet for you tonight...

LouisTheTommo: oh no, I cannot go on without hearing my nightly snippet!! I sorry Ni, forgive me? I wuv you <3

NiallHiggins08: ...well...fine, but only because I know you'll be pouting behind that screen xx

LouisTheTommo: I only pout for you, babe <3

NiallHiggins08: love you <3

NiallHiggins08: I gotta go, but I'll send you that snippet before I go to bed! Sleep well, talk tomorrow?

LouisTheTommo: of course! Can't wait to hear it. I'll message you the minute I wake up. I love you <3

NiallHiggins08: make it the second you wake up and we'll call it even. Nighty night <3

"Nialler! Pa said dinner will be ready in five minutes. Get your butt downstairs." Called Harry from beyond his younger brother's door. Niall closed the messages and shut off his computer, pushing the chair back and standing, making his way to the door.

"Hello to you too, bro. Whatever happened to a normal greeting? I don't see you all day and this is how you say hi? I am offended, Harold!" Niall joked, dodging his brother's hands as the older boy made a grab at him. "I'm not five anymore, Haz, you can't get me easily anymore!" He laughed, quickly ducking down and moving past Harry towards the stairs, hearing the footsteps behind him.

"Cheeky bugger! Come back here and give me a cuddle!" Harry laughed, just as the two skidded into the kitchen, Niall just barely avoiding knocking into his dad. 

"Sorry, dad." He grinned, stepping behind the bigger man, hoping for some protection. "HA! Loser." He laughed, poking his tongue out at Harry before he felt an arm wrap around his shoulders from behind. 

"No cuddle for your old man, eh, Ni? You too big for that now?" His pa asked, now with both arms around his son as he squeezed lightly.

"Never too old for a cuddle with you, papa!" He replied, turning around and returning the hug. Seconds later, he felt another pair of arms around him and Harry's familiar curly hair tickled his cheek.

"Gotcha." Harry whispered in his ear and Niall just laughed, living for the moments like these with his family. They broke apart when the sound of plates knocking against the table caught their attention. 

"Food!" Niall exclaimed, quickly taking his usual place at the table and hearing his family laugh. "Thanks, dad, looks tasty as always!"

"You flatter me, sweetheart." His dad replied, pressing a kiss to his hair as he passed by. "Ellie, dinner!" He called up the stairs, hearing the almost silent footsteps make their way towards the kitchen. Seconds later, the family of five were sat around the table eating happily and sharing tales of their day.

-----

As dinner time came to an end, and everyone began clearing their plates off the table, Niall glanced up at his parents. "Dad? Papa?" He spoke, gaining their attention. Eleanor had left the room by that point, the pre-teen going into the lounge to watch some TV. Harry was stood at the sink, beginning to wash up, acting like he wasn't really listening to his brother, but wanting to hear what he wanted, knowing from his tone of voice that he was about to ask something his parents might not like. "Could I possibly, like, get a uh, microphone? Please? For my computer..." He asked, playing with his fingers and not looking up, nervous about his parents reactions.

"Why do you want a microphone for your computer?" His pa asked, a suspicious tone to his voice. "Niall."

The teen took a deep breath and looked up hesitantly, almost shrinking away from the slightly narrowed eyes of both parents. "Well, you see, it's a funny story..." He chuckled nervously, but stopped immediately when neither man was backing down, so he slumped down and shrugged. "Fine. It's just that me and Louis, we're messaging all the time and I just feel like we should be able to actually talk to each other properly, and I know you said I shouldn't because it's all online, but -"

He was cut off from his rambling by his dad's hand on his shoulder. "Ni. Just take a breath, sweetheart, okay?" When Niall nodded, doing as instructed, Preston spoke again. "I don't know, Niall, I - no, wait a minute," He held up a hand when the teen was about to interrupt, "You're only 15, babe, I don't particually feel comfortable with you chatting to this boy online, nor do I think you should be video calling each other, so I really don't think you should be getting a microphone to talk to him. Why don't we wait a little bit and when you're 16, we'll talk about it again, hey?" He finished, keeping his hand on his son's shoulder. 

Niall was frowning, almost pouting, as he kept his gaze on the table. His papa sighed. "Nialler, your father's right. You're too young to be having an online relationship, anyway. You're lucky we even let you have your own computer and webcam. Don't forget, we can take it away anytime. Don't make me do that. Please. We're trusting you to be sensible and not to push it."

Niall stayed silent for a moment before nodding sadly. "Okay. Sorry dad, papa." He said softly, glancing up and giving a small smile. "Can I just send him one last message tonight, though, please? I promised him I'd send him a little bit of the song I'm working on." He grinned when they both nodded. Standing up, he thanked them and left the room, but not before hearing his brother's voice speak up.

"I'll keep an eye on him. He'll be fine." 

Niall just sighed again and walked up the stairs to his room, closing the door and falling down onto his bed. He ran a hand through his hair before letting his arms flop down. 

Most of the time, his life was great. Other times, it was slightly less great.

Author's note: so, please let me know what you think of it so far! :)

Hi! I'm sure you're being inundated with questions about this so no pressure to respond, but I was wondering if I could ask why you think Bentley's mom was collaborating with L/his team for the stunt? I'm quite sure that L is not F's father, but the woman seemed pretty genuine in her videos and the stuff she said didn't seem to have any inconsistencies. I wanted to ask because I'm feeling really conflicted about how to interpret the recent stunt stuff, and I trust your knowledge and judgement!

Hi love. Let me start by saying that I don't know her at all. So this isn't a judgment about her as a person. I have no idea what her motivations were or what she thinks. Having said all that, I think she's being genuine in her videos (although I do think she likes the attention and she's dragging all of this out for some unknown reason). I don't think she was "collaborating" with them. I do think it's possible that Louis saw her original video, thought her son was cute, and it was somehow decided by him/his team that he would use the fan service as a moment to also push babygate.

After the call she made numerous vague statements on SM about "knowing things" or "seeing things" that made her no longer a larrie. A lot of people ignored her, feeling that the way she was behaving made it seem like she was just clout chasing. Months later she decides to drop this video where it appears Louis is offering to have Freddie come on camera (as if he was just hanging out with him as one does with their very real son) to say hi to her and her son. But... he conveniently asks her to stop filming before Freddie comes on camera. Why? You can't claim you want privacy for a kid who's plastered all over social media by his real family, and who your sisters happily splash on their social media when they're told to, but suddenly now in this random unimportant moment you don't want him on video? Why? Maybe because he wasn't fucking there is what I think. I can imagine something like Louis saying Freddie felt too shy, or whatever, and since she wasn't filming, there's no proof of it anyway. And there is no video of Freddie because most likely Freddie was actually with his real family in California.

So, was the fact that she never posted this video and never directly said anything about Freddie counter to what Louis' team/Louis had wanted? Or had they wanted it shared now after the family Christmas/birthday photos and the dumb tweet? I tend to think that they hoped she'd share it earlier. Did we get more Freddie photos because that phone call didn't blow up the fandom? What on earth are they trying to do?

Clearly this Freddie nonsense is for fandom only. No one outside of fandom gives a rat's ass about babygate. Is someone continuing to try and get rid of Louis' strongest supporters? Why? And who?

The only thing I know for sure is that there are so many holes in this babygate story and the only thing that makes all of it make sense is that the kid is not Louis'. I don't know why it happened, or who is continuing to push it, or what the purpose is. But I 100% believe that that child is not Louis Tomlinson's son.

In reference to this

✨ I roll and I roll, ‘til I change my luck

explicit | 8,295 words

“They’re not my best pictures.”

“I wouldn’t say that, I think you look quite good being manhandled by a bigger man.”

Louis chokes on his sip of hot chocolate, feeling it burn its way down his throat. He coughs a few times and then clears his throat. “I’m sorry?!”

“You heard me. You should do it more often, it might make you more humble. Maybe you’ll learn to respect people.” Or Louis is a bored, rich kid whose latest stunt got him arrested and forced to attend a fundraiser at an ice rink, Zayn is his unlucky partner in crime, Harry is the cute hospital volunteer who is having none of his attitude, Niall is the worst DJ in the world, and Liam is Leslie Knope.

✨ lead me out on the moonlight floor

explicit | 12,758 words

In all honesty, Harry was long forgotten, cast aside by a dimpled stranger and too much champagne. He was almost glad, now, that Harry hadn’t come, because he wouldn’t have met this stranger, this tall man who could make his heart flutter with a single glance.

Victorian!AU where Louis is a wealthy lord throwing a masquerade ball for his birthday and Harry is a toymaker who's only confident when he's wearing a mask.

✨ electing strange perfections

explicit | 10 chapters | 84,757 words

Back for the summer from university, 19-year-old Louis is faced with a massive problem: their new gardener is quite possibly the most gorgeous man he's ever met. Over the course of the summer, Louis and a 25-year-old Harry will learn that love can be found where you least expect it.

✨ scintillating

explicit | 23 chapters | 263,706 words

When Harry and Louis meet in Disney World during their family’s holiday, it’s love at first sight. Back in England, they fight against the distance to stay together, to make it work. When Harry signs up for The X-Factor, though, the precarious balance they’ve built is compromised.

Or the one where they fall in love, Harry wins the X-Factor, and everything goes to hell.

✨ taken by the wind

teen and up | 12,040 words

When he decided to move to London with his sister, Harry thought he would finally get to learn how to control his magic. He couldn't possibly have predicted that he would fall for her neighbour.

Or the one where Harry is a clumsy witch and Louis is making everything worse just by existing.

✨ signs and wonders

explicit | 29,005 words

On the surface, it looks like Louis Tomlinson has the perfect life; after all, he has the whole package: a white picket fence house (well, his doesn’t technically have a white picket fence, but work with him), a wife, a daughter and a dog. He has it all and he’s not even 30, yet.

On the surface, he could be the happiest man in the world.

The thing is, he never wanted this life. There was this boy, see, this Harry Styles, whose arrival made Louis question everything he thought he knew about himself. Before Louis could pursue it, though, before he could be brave and ask the boy out, one moment of bad luck on prom night, one single lapse of judgment, shaped his life in a way he never would have chosen. Between doing the right thing or turning into his own absent father, he knew what he had to do, even if it meant burying his dreams under the weight of a premature adulthood.

That is, until he receives an invitation for his school’s ten year reunion and sees that Harry will attend.

Could it be his second chance at happiness? At what cost?

✨ fondre ton absence

teens and up | 41,315 words

Harry had never really given much thought to the future. He preferred to let life steer him forward and to follow in the footsteps of Louis, his best friend from as far as his memory went, his lover, his everything. Louis knew better than he did what was good for him.

It changed drastically when Louis was ripped away from him, drafted and sent to the front to fight in a war that Harry had always been sure would never reach him. Too young and too sickly to follow, Harry was left on his own for the first time in his life.

When he thought things could not possibly get worse, Louis went missing at the Somme and was declared dead. While everyone buried and mourned him, Harry never moved on. If Louis were dead, he was sure that he would know it. Their lives were too entwined, he would know if half of his heart had died.

Determined to find Louis, Harry did everything he could in his quest to be reunited with him, except prepare for the state Louis might be in.

He did not prepare for the harsh truth he would have to face: was love possible without memories?

✨ the sanctity of patience

teens and up | 22,521 words

When young Lord Harry was chosen by King Louis of Bavaria to become his husband and prince consort, Harry thought all of his dreams had come through. His illusions came crashing down when he understood it meant living in isolation in the alpine castle of Neuschwanstein with a husband who turned out to be far from what he had hoped for.

His illusions vanished, Harry will have learn to appreciate what has and even, perhaps, fall in love with his imperfect husband and his castle.

✨ tempests of dust

explicit | 30,797 words

Louis lived an ordinary life, albeit in an extraordinary place. His family, alongside many others, were mandated to maintain the fortress of Bourbon-l’Archambault, one of the many castles belonging to the crown of France. It was thankless work, but it was a roof over their heads and a quiet, steady life. For all that he knew, the Crown had forgotten Bourbon-l’Archambault even existed, which suited him quite well.

That was until the Dauphin, Prince Harry, came to stay for a summer and decided that he would experience the life of a peasant, for his own personal growth, without any regards to how it would affect others. After a summer spent together, the thought of parting ways was too much to bear and they struck a deal: Louis would pretend to be a duke at the court of Versailles for a season: if after three months, he was miserable, Harry would let him return to his former life without making a fuss.

Did they really think it would be that simple?

✨ i can’t hurt you anymore

mature | 666 words

There was a boy who lived in the closet of Harry’s new house. Louis, he was called, and he was there when Harry’s family moved in, watching timidly as Harry unpacked his boxes, and when Harry asked if he wanted to help, he said he could not touch anything.

I’m Louis, he said, and we can be friends and I will never leave you if you promise to be with me forever.

✨ as in olden days

teens and up | 18,430 words

When his father insisted the entire family spend Christmas abroad in one of his new investments, Harry dreaded the prospect of being trapped for weeks in the biting Canadian cold, so far away from the roaring excitement of his London life. As he crossed half of the world to be buried under a thick blanket of snow, he never imagined he would meet a charming bellhop who would do his best to keep him warm.

❄️ Let’s start the year off right (with a kiss) — whatmakeslarrybeautiful

3.888 words / One Shot / Harry Styles x Louis Tomlinson

Louis hates New Year's Eve and thinks it's overrated, and Harry loves New Year's Eve and is hyped for it. Louis might just change his mind this New Year's Eve though. Or rather, a specific someone, and a specific something might nudge him along. Ft. Lots of fluff, fair bit of pining, banter and all the fun stuff!

The build-up in this was great. And the pining! Oh! What a sweet friends to lovers fic.

❄️ Under the pink willow tree — @brighlyharry

7.631 words / One Shot / Harry Styles x Louis Tomlinson

It's Christmas Eve and also Louis' eighteen birthday. It's the biggest day of Louis' life. He's been keeping up with his elfin studies for years all in preparation for this. He finally gets to join Santa on the sleigh. Nothing Harry says can ruin this day for him, no matter how hard he tries.

A very christmassy fic. Enemies to lovers, featuring awkward teenagers who can’t handle their feelings. A cute little read!

❄️ Where the love light gleams — @velvetnoodle​

7.854 words /One Shot / Harry Styles x Louis Tomlinson

Harry can’t help but feel like it’s his own fault; if he hadn’t gone to that fucking game, he wouldn’t have been in town to get invited to the concert. And if he’d just said no to the concert (the free concert) then he’d be in Holmes Chapel right now. He’d be with his sister and mum and his family and friends, and not stuck spending Christmas all alone in bloody Wisconsin. When his lonely Christmas Eve is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of his ex-boyfriend, Louis, Harry is hesitant to believe that it’s fate. What begins as a series of random coincidences slowly morphs into an evening of second chances and holiday miracles and peppermint-flavoured kisses that could change Harry’s future forever.

The author did such a good job with the melancholy in this fic. It’s very soft and a little bit sad and features the “exes to lovers” trope the only way it should be served: with a happy ending.

❄️ Something carries on — blue_marauder, @larrylution​

17.756 words / One Shot / Harry Styles x Louis Tomlinson / Explicit

Louis would do anything to escape the prison of his emotions around the holidays. He would even go so far as to abandon his remaining family members and go on a trip to Greece, seeing as they're better off without his holiday angst anyway. While on his trip, Louis meets a kind and vulnerable stranger who manages to break through his defenses.

A different type of holiday romance. Very tender and soft but with a sadness throughout. The author really makes you feel with the characters. Make sure to read the tags on this one!

I know they’ve been through hard times, but some of the hard times the Tomlinsons were put through could have been avoided. Their older sister should still be here but she was allowed to do mature things before she was grown. Now the same thing is happening to the older twins. I’m glad their dad took the younger twins always from the rest of them. That might sound mean, but he is aware of more things they do than we are and probably did what he needed to do to save the young twins before they were influenced by the others. I’ll go ahead and say it…Louis should have stepped in as a parent figure but he never did. In fact, he is still exhibiting poor life choices by drinking and smoking so much. Those older twins have no business being influencers. Especially since it’s obvious that they look up to the wrong influencers (like their sister). They always have boyfriends that are too old for them and the relationships they have with these boys are never age appropriate. I’m not trying to come for them. I feel sorry for them. No one should be exposed to show business without a reliable and strong parent or guardian. Read any expose’ from a child star that ended up down the wrong path and they all say that it was because they were treated with more maturity than they actually had. They ended up raising themselves because their parents needed their checks to live off of. The Tomlinson father and Louis need to step up before another tragedy hits that family. Before anyone comes for me for being rude, please notice the only name I mentioned was Louis.

Mark Tomlinson is the girls' father and should have been the first to step in, rather than their brother, but Louis must have over-ruled Mark when he set Fizzy up in that awful Earls Court flat surrounded by trust fund junkies like Luke Storey.

Daisy has dumped her schoolboy boyfriend and is dating a much older guy, but he was present at Mark's over Christmas so they must be okay with him.

When children become financially independent, it's hard for parents to intervene. The twins are signed to Elite Modelling Agency and have brand deals with the likes of Missguided. As soon as they're 18 we're going to see them in Dubai, LA, Bali, Maldives, Ibiza, Mykonos, Positano and the other favoured influencer destinations. They won't be chaperoned and could get into all kinds of trouble, as they don't seem to be very bright. I do think Elite will stop them getting any Lottie type fillers/procedures but if they're dropped by Elite we might see it.

The Better One - pt 2 ~ Louis Tomlinson

In which she finally knows she’s enough.

Pt1 is here

Warnings: Swearing and kinda angsty

Word Count: 1500

Y/n had grow up with a bunch of stuff that meant absolutely nothing. She had her own room, her own clothes, but all she had really wanted was to be heard at the dinner table. So, when she was eight, she came up with the idea of jokes. She had never been the funny type, but she believed that if she made them laugh they would at least listen to what she had to say. It worked, for a year or so, and then they eventually became tired of it. She then tried arts and crafts, if her family could see she was good at it they would pay more attention, but again it didn't really work. Eventually, she decided that the only way her parents would pay attention to her was if she got good grades, and that's how it began. Massive amounts of work, almost perfect grades, and a lot of pressure in herself. 

All Y/n had ever wanted was to matter, and when Louis came, she didn't even have to try. Louis had been everything to Y/n, her motivation; her rock; the bare reason she smiled. It’s needless to say that when he left, when he chose better than her, everything crumpled.

When she flew back, she took less than an hour to pack her things in a suitcase, and another thirty minutes to take in every single detail of the apartment. She knew it was bad for her, but there was nothing more she wished than to have Louis back with her; hanging christmas lights on the christmas tree days before the trip, maybe convincing him that it was better to stay here, in their cosy apartment as they drank hot chocolate. That's when she remembered, one hand tightly secured in one of the suitcase’s straps, that it was christmas. 

------------

It took two weeks to find a new apartment in the heart of San Diego, out of LA but still close enough so whenever she wanted she could go back and remember the golden times.

But life in San Diego was one full of misery. Y/n L/n, the girl that used to be so organised and so perfect, was long gone replaced by one who stopped caring. She finally understood that if no one care about her, why should she? She was boring and dull, not intelligent neither beautiful, she was not enough. 

Her money became scarce, so she began to eat less, and when the pennies finally finished she moved apartments to an old filthy one while she worked at a coffee shop. If she wasn't a disgrace now, then, what was she?

“Happy first day of summer, Y/n!”, her coworker, a girl with violet hair named Emma, greeted her. 

Summer. Had it really been half a year without Louis? The word suddenly had a new meaning, and soon every word would turn out to be just the same.

What Y/n didn't expect was to come home from work--her t-shirt stained with coffee-- and find Avery siting on the small couch. It was such a shock her bag fell from her shoulder earning the attention from Avery. 

“Y/n!”, Avery came running towards Y/n, a huge smile on her face as she wrapped her arms around her sister’s small frame. 

“I- what are you doing here?”, it felt strange looking at Avery, she wore clean skinny jeans and had her hair perfectly curled and... Avery was pregnant, hugely pregnant.

 Guilt came rushing in and Y/n could now only tilt her head down and apologise. How dare she not be there for her sister?

“I looked for you everywhere!”, Avery replied watching as her sister picked up the bag and rushed to the small open kitchen, “And now I finally found you! I-”, Avery looked around, “Your apartment was unlock so I figured I would let myself in. At first I didn't think this could be your apartment but then I saw our picture and...” Y/n turned to look at the picture laying on the counter, a trip her whole family did a long time ago, Y/n was probably twelve at the time. 

She looked down, saw the coffee stain and opened the sink tap. “I am really sorry, Avery”, she said as she tried to scrub the stain away, “I was working and I spilled coffee all over my shirt and...”, she looked around her apartment, had she cleaned the floors this week? And the pillows on her couch had not been flattened out, everything was a mess. “I am really sorry for this huge mess, I swear It’s not like this usually”, it was a big lie but Y/n didn’t know what else to say. 

Finally giving up on her shirt she run to the small living room at the corner of her open apartment, flattened the pillows and picked up a left glass that was laying on the coffee table, “Please, Avery. Take a sit”, Y/n gestured to the couch and rushed back to the kitchen, “Would you like anything to eat? I’m not sure I have many things in the fridge but there's a marketplace down the street and I could go buy you something right now”, Y/n felt her eyes burn.

“Y/n, calm down, its okay”, Avery was surprised to see her younger sister in this state, realising how thin Y/n looked, “please sit down next to me.” Y/n was unsure, she knew the adequate thing was to invite her sister to eat something, but she was tired and all of a sudden she felt helpless. “I’ve missed you so much”, Avery cupped Y/n’s hands, examining at how her younger sister would nod her head shyly, not daring to look at her. 

“I’ve missed you too, and I’m really sorry I-”, Y/n lifted her head and fixated her eyes on her sister’s tummy, “I wasn’t there. I should have been, I didn’t have any right to disappear.”

“I called you a million times”, Avery said, a frown forming in her face as she watched Y/n’s tears run down, “mom did too, but you never answered. For a moment I thought you were--”

“--No”, Y/n didn't let Avery finish, she looked at her sister so vulnerable for the first time ever, “I don't know why I did that..., I’m sorry. I just thought that it was better if I stopped getting in-between people’s lives. I only wanted what was best for you, mom and dad, and Tessa and Louis...”, the last words where barely audible. 

“To hell Tessa!”, Avery raised her voice, “and Louis! Look at you Y/n, living here; working at a coffee shop; barely standing on your legs... What about you? Why didn’t you think about what was better for you?”

“Why should I care?!”, Y/n stood up from the couch, tears--no streams-- running down her face, her legs shaking slightly as she looked at a worried Avery, “Why should I care? No one ever did, and that's alright. I’m fine with that, I learned how to be fine with it.” Y/n sighed, a weary breath escaping her lips, “and you should stop worrying, Avery. Everyone is okay, I’m perfectly fine, you’re pregnant! And Tessa is happy with Louis--”

“--Tessa and Louis broke up”, Avery mumbled, aware of the fact that Y/n had to grab the back of the couch to sturdy herself.

“Why?”

“She came home two months ago, angry as ever. It seems that she wasn't what Louis expected her to be...”, Avery shook her head, “but it doesn't matter, I’m so done with Tessa and her stupid ego.”

“Don’t”, Y/n licked her lips, her heart clenching, “don't say that, you know it's not true, Tessa is--”

“--Tessa is bad and cruel! She stole your boyfriend for fucks sake! She had always been mean toward you! How are you not angry about this?!”, Avery couldn't understand how could someone be so empathic that had completely stop thinking about itself. “When did you turn into this?”

Y/n sat down again, brushed down her tears and tried to smile, “I think I’ve always been like this, I just used to be better at hiding it. I’m sorry.”

“Stop blaming everything on you. It harms you, can’t you see?”, Avery cupped her sister’s face, Y/n closing her eyes at the warm feeling of Avery’s hands. “And I know you probably think that you are not enough, but that’s a lie. You are beautiful Y/n, inside out, you are talented, and unique, and you are my sister. I care about you, I’m sorry for whatever reason that made you believe I didn't, but I’m telling you now, I care about you. And I know that a hole bunch of people do too, because that’s what you do, you are lovable.”

Sometimes, what you need are just words to make thing slightly brighter, to give you a small push in the right direction. Now, Y/n wrapped around her sister’s arms, knows she’s worth it, and whatever made her feel otherwise has to get out of her way now, because the true golden times are just about to begin.

Yeah, this was shit, I'm sorry I just thought I should at leats update something.

Biggest messages or lessons learnt from this year?

use ur privilege and make ur voice be heard to stand up for what is right 

don’t take anything for granted and appreciate everything u have while giving back 

being depressed on campus > being depressed in the zoom meetings 

And what are you most looking forward to in 2021?

apart from starting and hopefully finishing my bachelor’s thesis (and consequently finishing uni for now) i don’t have that much on my agenda for 2021 since i’m still trying to recover from the canceled 2020 plans, so to quote a true legend: “You know what kind of plan never fails? No plan. No plan at all. You know why? Because life cannot be planned. [...] You can't go wrong with no plans. We don't need to make a plan for anything. It doesn't matter what will happen next.” 

i’m gonna tag @hunrising @honeydxp @newangelmp3 @mullingar @imsogoldeen @merrystylans @harrydykwya if ur up for it, happy new year 😌❣️

Taylor Byrne (Louis Tomlinson) was born on June 19th, 1993, and work as a musician/guitar teacher. They use He/Him pronouns and live in the Fenway-Kenmore Apartment Complex, but they originate from West Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

Biography

Taylor Finnegan Byrne was born on a sweltering hot June evening in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, which is about an hour-ish south of Boston. Growing up, he was pretty average in every sense of the word. He lived with his parents, Mark and Lorraine, and his older sister Colleen (as you may guess, they have some very strong Irish roots) in a decent neighborhood. He was a good student, not fantastic but not a slacker, and decently athletic, though he wasn't about to go joining any high school sports teams.

Maybe it was because his life was so unremarkable, but he had this need to "discover his passion". It seemed like all his friends were finding theirs—one friend was on track to play basketball in college and another's art been shown in her parents’ gallery. So what was his "thing"?

September 20, 2004 was when his life changed. Green Day released American Idiot and he knew, as he listened to it on his portable CD player in his room, that this was it. This was the music he wanted to make. It was the first album he really truly loved with his entire heart and soul, and the next year, when Bullet in a Bible came out, it was cemented. He wanted to be these singers he idolized. He wanted to be Billie Joe Armstrong, he wanted to be Patrick Atump, he wanted to be Tom Delonge, he wanted to be Alex Gaskarth. (Separately, this is when he realized he liked boys. While all his friends were in love with Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams, Taylor was all hearteyes over Zac Farro.)

So as he got older, he learned guitar and tried to write lyrics, and everyone told him he was pretty good, so he got in in his head that he was gonna leave this suburban town in the dust. As soon as he graduated high school he moved himself to…Boston. He didn't have the patience for college, so got jobs selling tickets at the House of Blues and Brighton Music Hall, listening to the bands muffled through the walls, dreaming that one day he’ll be the one on that stage. He linked up with a couple of guys from Berklee College of Music and started himself his first band. The Berklee kids had all kinds of connections and equipment that Taylor only dreamed of, so next thing he knew, the four of them were laying down tracks in the studio, music that he wrote and that other people like. They named themselves Points Home and Taylor went out and for a tattoo to commemorate it.

It's tough out there, even when you're good—they paid their dues, playing house shows and college gigs and whatever they can get, and eventually they get a small record deal through Emerson College’s record label. It wasn't huge, but it was enough to cut a more professional EP and make some music videos. With that support, and the attention they received over the next years, they decided to take the plunge and move out to Los Angeles for their big break.

It went much better than they expected. They had wrapped up a show one night when a talent scout approached them and said he wanted to take their EP to his bosses. Several mountains of paperwork later, they got themselves a record deal and Taylor felt like he was on cloud nine. Finally, he was living the dream he'd held in his heart since he was a teenager. They put out three full albums, played small stages on Warped Tour a few times, and did some touring in small venues around the country. Taylor even found love—with the bassist.

Spring 2019 was when things began to fall apart. The drummer had been distant for a while, but it was still a shock when he announced his departure. The group splintered from there and declared an ‘indefinite hiatus,' which was code for, "We're never getting back together but admitting it is too painful." Taylor and the bassist moved in together for a while, but just before Christmas, the bassist broke up with him.

Taylor refused to go home. Going home meant he’d prove everyone who said he couldn’t make it right, and he wasn’t going to do that. He fucked around, literally, for the next couple of months, and spent the rest of his time writing and writing and busking by himself. He got reckless with strings of hookups and drinking and drugs. He just wanted to feel alive because his band was the only thing that gave him life and suddenly it was gone.

But after a few months of floundering, he swallowed his pride, moved back to Boston, and decided to pursue a solo career. He’s blown the dust off his old youtube channel and started posting covers, and gotten back into writing again. While he's hard at work, he's also begun giving guitar lessons. There's something rewarding about seeing the music that moved him touch someone else. Is this the existence he imagined? No, but it's still early. He's 28, after all, with the world ahead of him. He'll make it on his own time.

So I just saw your post of Louis with dogs! Which is totally adorable btw. But in that post you mentioned that you don't think the Bruce is El's dog. Could you explain why? Who's is he? And how did you come to that conclusion?

Hi Little Cinnamon Bun,

Thank you for your compliments about my masterpost of Louis with puppies/dogs. He is one of the cutest human beings with animals❤

I indeed said I think Bruce is not Eleanors dog at all. I think Bruce might be Louis’ (and Harry’s) dog, but I do not know that for sure. Let me first show you a few pictures and tell you a few things about Bruce and other dogs.

I just like to say that in 2012 ‘Louis bought Eleanor’ a dog too, at least that is what many Elouno shipper think. Some people say that it was Eleanors family dog, however there was even an article on the internet about it being 'Louis and Eleanors dog.’ She was named Pepper. I always thought that was shady. Anyway, Pepper had multiple pictures with Eleanor.

Link to article: https://www.sweetyhigh.com/read/one-direction-dogs

Suddenly she was gone. No one heard about her for months and it became years. That is pretty odd.

On 28 october 2015 Eleanor posted a picture of her and Bruce, stating he was 2 years young. Which means he was bron on 28 October 2013. She posted the first picture of Bruce on 20 August 2014.

She did not post about him before that. She posted about Bruce around the time she and Louis “broke up.” This is why I think Bruce was bought with a purpose. I am coming back on this later, my love.

I am going to tell you a bit about Bruces history. He was bought by Louis. I believe Eleano posted a picture of him in early 2014. That is why people believe he was bought around Christmas time 2013. Keep this in mind please.

Do you remember at the very beginning we thought Clifford’s was Danielle’s? He was born in America and it looked like Danielle was taking care of him with her other dog (the brown one) so people just assumed Clifford was hers. There was even a time when antis thought Danielle and Louis has a dog, Clifford, together. They were all happy, until it was confirmed Clifford is Louis’. We only found out Clifford was actually Louis’ when he and Danielle ‘broke up’. Clifford was linked to Danielle and Louis. If you would see Clifford you would see Danielle automatically too.

The whole “celebs taking a dog” is basically a way to get attention too. For example,do you remember Loki? Liam and Danielle Peazers dog? It is the same story. When a couple breaks up the dog is a way to link tgem together. Now, we have seen 'Louis bought Bruce for Eleanor’. When they broke up countless headlines came out a few months later. “Louis Tomlinsons ex Eleanor Calder walking dog in Park UK.” When celeb couples take a dog together, it automatically becomes a new thing, almost as serious as a kid. When a couples takes a dog their relationship is quite serious. That is the thing they are trying to show us with 'Elouno’. When a relationship is serious there are rumors about engagements, wedding and kids. This is how you can see that a small indication can lead to huge effects. Remember Hatchi? Zayn and Perries dog? Same story, love. They took the dog because they needed to let the world see that it was a 'serious’ relationship. In 2013 their fake engagement happened, Liam was not too happy about that one.

Clifford and Bruce have always been another way of pairing Louis and Eleanor together. For example, when one of Louis’ sisters post a story of Bruce and Clifford the fans know exactly that Eleanor is there too, even without seeing her. They automatically know so. That is also another way of stunting, Bruce has been labeled as 'eleanors dog’ for all these years, that is how fans know exactly that Louis and Eleanor 'are together’.

All of these things have to do with stunting. Clifford and Bruce are both stunt dogs. They use them for stunts. That is why I think Bruce is just a link to Louis and Eleanor. In the previous lines you could have seen that 'Louis bought Eleanor’ Bruce as a gift. That is also a way of marketing, the headline in a magazine.

Now, stay with me please, it is getting even more odd. In 2013, an article came out about Louis’ beautiful mother, Jay, buying him a dog called Bruce. So the dog was Bruce, his mother bought him Bruce.

So this is why I always thought Bruce was Louis’ and not Eleanors at all. She just uses him as a stunt dog and for her blog. The purpose of those tons of pictures and videos of Bruce on Eleanors social media is to link him fully to Eleanor. So the next time you would see Bruce, you would say “Oh he is Eleanors dog”. Louis would never give anyone a dog his own mother bought for him, he loves her a lot. So Louis and Eleanor did not buy the dog together, however elouno shippers claim they did. Bruce has always been Louis’ dog from the start, more about this later, my love.

They tell two different stories (Bruce is Louis’ and Bruce is Eleanors), just like how Louis and Eleanor 'met’. This is why I think it is another marketing strategy. They can not plan it out, that is always their downfall, my love. Louis bought Clifford and not Eleanor.

There was also a sort of book about 1D and their tour life. In that book Louis mentioned that he has a dog called Bruce. It is very bad quality, but it is the last question (in black).

Louis also had a picture of baby Bruce in his home. The Bear in the background is Louis’ sisters bear. You can also see his shoes in the picture, I think. Oh, I almost forgot to add this. Eleanor never had a picture of Bruce when he was younger. She only posted a throwback picture, but she never posted a picture of Bruce with her when he was a little pupper. Louis did, so if it would be her dog, why did she not post any picture of him? Why did she post the pictures that late? All of this does not make sense, my love. It is definitely Louis’ dog and he bought it himself or got it from his lovely mother. A gift like that is precious, so I will never believe he just gave him away like that. Eleanor is no one to Louis, so he definitely did not give her his dog, my love. Link to a small video: https://twitter.com/happiIeeds/status/621774850219094017?s=20

I forgot to add an important detail. Now the question is "Was Elounor 2.0 meant to happen?" Well I think at first she was not, then things changed. I think the possibility of her coming back had always been there, but at first she was not going to do it. Then things changed and Eleanor needed promo too.

Thank you for your question, my sweetheart. I do not know if I would ever have made this post if you did not ask for it so politely. Thank you so much and thank you for being so polite and kind. If there is anything wrong, please send it to me. My memory is not that great at times. I hope you will have a gorgeous day, my loves!!❤🌺

Christmas Love

by loop_ann

Lottie took another step forward before smirking evilly, “And Lou, make sure to clean up after doing the dirty.I never want to see that again.Ever again.Good night.”

Harry tilted his head in confusion before peeking between his thighs.His eyes nearly popped out.He can’t believe he had forgotten. He sank down to the floor covering his face in embarassment as another drop of cum leaked down his thighs and onto the floor. He felt Louis plop himself on the bed with a soft sigh as he carded his hand through Harry’s hair. “It’s not too bad, Haz. Imagine if mum came in.” Louis joked. “This is all your fault!! Why do I even agree to your ridiculous plans! Your sister saw me with your cum down my thighs!” Harry shouted.

“That’s it! No sex for one month!” Harry screamed as he spun around and waddled down the stairs. Louis was in his own space as he stared at Harry’s luscious thighs now cum-stained as he walked out the door. Then he realised what Harry had just said.

“Huh? What did you say Haz?! Wait!” Louis shouted out as he scrambled to catch up to his furious wife.

What?! No I'm not !! the only side I am in is that of my way of seeing the world, my conscience, my cynical character and experience. Because I am very selective and I have chosen people to follow. I don’t follow you because you are a Louie but because I consider you a smart girl, so seeing how easily many have fallen into this, imo, manipulation hurts me. For Louis above all else. Because I remember being one of the first in 2018 to speak openly about Sony Sabotage in HS2 favor and I perfectly remember what and how it was answered to me!!

Because I remember Why I looked for the Rads ....and how the world has turned upside down 🤣 Having moved away from Styles for other reasons, having taken a different approach before this perhaps affects my thoughts and reasonings but how can you not understand that you are doing exactly what Sony wants (regardless which Label we will discover has louis now) years of Larries VS Anties hasn't really opened your eyes? How is it possible? Have you ever noticed how many Louies (not larries) always write "team" and never "Sony" Have you ever noticed how full their accounts are with everything Harry does / doesn't do in real time? Twenty-five years of Kardashian (Hello Uncle Irving) did not help to understand StarSistem is based on chatter and not only on good things? They often update before Larries! if you want to know what happens in Harry Styles life follow a Louie. nice no? If you watch MV to "see how shabby it is" and then talk about it on social, however, you contribute to creating curiosity, chatter, comments, quarrels. If you always complain using Harry as a yardstick, you keep Louis in this funnel that L is crushed in one way or another. If you look back and you don't see how much 2015!Louis was tired and only blame Xander for that , thinking that he was happy for singing a bit more because Zayn was gone or for the water fights with Liam it is you who considers him half of a ship!! If you confuse his nostalgia and humility for lack of ambition or trust , you consider him half of a ship. If you love Louis and have decided that Harry is an active part of his sabotage why don't you get to completely ignore him, always, in the most absolute way after having clarified your position? And if you have decided this, how can you accept Niall and Liam, whom you consider his brothers do not take sides with him but rather, as soon as they can, they raise Star!Styles? Have you ever thought about how he can feel seeing that his fandom, while insulting Styles' new life, spends days asking for OneDirection!Louis? And the braces, and the hair, and the beanie, the headband, and the tank top .. he had to admit this is frustrating but nevertheless Louies continue and if you point it out the answer is "Old!Louis receives more likes " 😒

anyway let's go.. “Because I loved Styles anyway and I have a past with him” Ok. Let's start from here then. Azoff and Sony in 2013 begin to seriously plan H solo career. Azoff has a story, a very clear story, but you voluntarily ignored it at that time, only to blame Styles for choosing them (being chosen) now!! Like three silly kids Louis Niall and Liam until 2016 believe in an 18-month hiatus 😂 . Do you really think they are so naive? Seriously? Louis William Tomlinson who at 20 sees a hole in the writing process of the band and turns everything upside down does not understand what is the destiny designated? Among other things, the same for all boyband before 1D and info easily accessible on google But “he was in love "ok. But then you have to admit you start from the starting point that you now strongly reproach Larries. You have to admit you are living in Young & Beautiful Spin Off because instead I see a strong, smart, brilliant man, who for 10 years has been fighting tirelessly for his individuality. I think this passive Louis is the result of the FF you read because you are the first who make everything go around Styles, even before Sony. Someone stuffing your head saying Harry doesn't need Larries anymore. Are you Sure? Because business is brutal and Labels don't exist for your enjoy. They don't invest in you leaving you power. It is quite the opposite. The more you make money, the more you are a puppet. Just check the difference in numbers between H and Justin, Ariana, Selena, Ed, DuaLipa to understand what I mean!

the Direction taken is the right one, it is having a good success - well deserved - but, believe me, not enough to justify the investment made. And do you really think Azoff, manager since the barter still existed, evaluates the point of view of a 25-year-old who even made almost deny the first album? Who no longer took his mommy on holiday when Harries started complaining about her presence? Do you really think these guys signed contracts to their advantage (I'm not talking about money of course)? Do you really think Styles can say in Sony -I don't do this-? Based on what? Do you blame Harry for his ambition but do you really think he has alternatives? Especially in Sony that has no other icons of this generation? Someone make you believe Harry is loved by everyone but have you ever come out of the fandom bubble to read what so many locals write about him? don't you read how much hate he receives? Azoff arrives in 2013, from that moment on did you see his life change for the better? Less work, more attention to his health or did you see him arrive at the end of 2015 without voice? or do you think "better life" is going out with Taylor Swift and Kaya Gerber Because in that case you love the life Louis says he hates 😟 And considering the type of music he produced, do you think his 2021worldtour is to safeguard his voice and health? Really!? And how is it possible if Azoff loves Harry person and not Harry MoneyMachine? Do you really think Harry is so naive that he doesn't know this? Do you often notice how bad it is aging, How dull are his eyes.. Isn't this already an answer? And if you want to say "that's what he deserves" wow do you remember that you don't really know them and that they are only singers / strangers you love? They are not really your son? that you've never been to their room and their songs aren't a gossip magazine?

Same talk about Louis Fam. Louis Tomlinson openly lashes out against Euphoria chatting with his HetStalkerNumberOne creating more promo or against Zayn when he drops GY but is unable to tell his stepfather / sisters to stop using his life like that? Really? Or do you think he did this but Mark ignored that ? Everyone uses him but he, passively again, cannot do anything. Do you really think Louis is this? Why? Look Louies focused on commenting What Harry is doing in istagram? Look how much power they are giving this stupid thing? They put Harry at the center of Louis' life, they considered him Mrs L. Styles weak and closed in the suitcase with the only ambition to jump on his cock. why this daily need to highlight how disappointed you are with the person who has become? Are you more concerned that Harry cheated on Louis or that Harry cheated on you? Because if you think Louis has a new life why you don't go on too? The position is clear, why keep playing the Sony game? How do you think Louis feels when he sees his fandom has absorbed that his pubblic life has been closely linked to his girlfriend for years now? When you read that H's lunch with stringer was cruel and nobody mentions anymore three days later he was paps with El and the dogs? Just because The Sun canceled? What does it matter he had to undergo this, he had to get out of bed, go out and go to the pap (in 2020 only if you are 12 you can think that the paps are not scheduled) You can also think that there is a friendly relationship with E but why you accept that she is also present when a month later they go to GoKart? Why can't only Louis spend The first Christmas without Fizzy and Jay with his sisters? Why can't Louis alone participate in the B.L.M. march? We told ourselves that the cause was more important than the company and it is true. But important for whom? For us or for him that of B.L.M. did speak before everyone when it wasn't “trendy” ? Why doesn't even his fandom fight for his freedom? from everyone?! Why Do you think this imposition is healthy for him? Or do you think he chose this, because if you think this then all JLYMV was a joke for you and it's okay but I ask you, do you really believe that it is no longer hard for him suffer the presence of Eleanor than a Harry Styles SmileyNails ? Are we talking about what's harder for him or for you? Does Louis individual really care about anyone? Because my heart breaks to see how, even if it were reality, his pubblic life is linked to this girl as if she were the star! Everyone has a girlfriend but not even Kilye Jenner was so present in Travis Scott's career, private life. Why don't you rebel against this? Why "thank you Eleonor" ? Why is your selfishness more important than he has to live this actively? Why do you think it is easy for him after 10 years? Whatever your opinion about , Louis has not interacted publicly with Freddy since 2018. Why don't you get angry with Louies who do not care about this and clog social with his pics not respecting Louis' will? Why do you only get angry with a certain part of fandom and not with those who help a small group of people to spread this child's face wildly despite Louis not doing it? Why don't you ask yourself "louis does not do this, it is the case that I do it"? Who is your Louis landmark or the baby's family? Why is Louis never enough? Why don't you see Louis' individual freedom is not seized by Harry Styles but by Sony which is who should protect him from Azoff / Styles? If your answer is "Sony does not believe in him enough" I'm sorry I have news for you, you believe Louis tomlinson is not worth enough .. and while you continue this useless fight between Louies Larries Labels will continue to use Harry, Louis for their bank accounts and only for that laughing at us whatever the real personal situation between the two of which I honestly care zero but, as you can see, in one way or another it is still at the center of our attention and if Larries have the justification "I believe in them" what excuse do you have?

I edited it :) - and added a bit more to the Niall part

“Are you sure you want a triple chocolate cake, love?” Louis was out of breath as he ran up the driveway with all his shopping. “Wouldn’t you like something different?”

“Louis, you’ve been baking my birthday cakes for me since I was eight and every year I ask for a triple chocolate cake. Do you really think that’s going to change when I turn 21?” Lottie teasingly asked through the phone he held to his ear. “And honestly, I love everything you bake Lou, it doesn’t matter to me.”

The rain was pouring down now, and Louis was desperate to get inside. He smiled as he fished his keys out of his coat. “Alright then, love, I’ll get started on it now.”

As a big brother, Louis felt like it was his duty to make sure all his siblings had great birthdays. However, due to circumstances that they promised they would never speak of again, Lottie’s birthdays in the past weren’t exactly spectacular, and Louis was determined to make her 21st amazing. There were some things he wasn’t telling her, like his plans to make a make her a huge three tier cake, decorated with literally everything that she loved, from her favourite characters and quotes of TOWIE (oh God, how he hated that show) to her sparkly makeup things that she seemed to adore.

Louis went inside and said his goodbyes to his sister. He put all his shopping away except for his baking ingredients, as he wanted to get started on Lottie’s cake straight away so it would be ready for her birthday on Saturday. He was getting the other ingredients out of the pantry when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work, sir?”, he asked.

“Layla left us early today, I think she was in a good mood”, came his boyfriend’s voice near his ear.

Louis smiled as he put down a large bag of flour on the kitchen counter. He turned around to face Luke and pecked him on his lips.

“That’s nice, but if you bother me at all while I’m making a birthday cake for Lots, you’re going to be sleeping on the couch until Saturday,” he said in a warning tone. Luke and baking did not mix well for Louis. At all. Past experiences showed that Luke should leave Louis to the cooking, after he had set the fire alarm off one too many times that their neighbour had offered to teach him how to cook.

Luke sighed and left the kitchen to Louis, who fell into the familiar pattern of making the batter. He was in the process of whisking the butter and the sugar together when Luke mentioned that they’d gotten some mail that morning. The pair worked in comfortable silence with the occasional crinkling of paper from Luke as he read through this morning’s mail.

Suddenly, he heard a gasp from Luke, who rushed into the kitchen with a letter clutched in his hand. Louis was ready to scold him, until he saw that Luke was thrusting the piece of paper in his face.

Louis did not understand what the hell his boyfriend was on about, but he took the letter from Luke to read it. “What are you saying?”, he said, heartrate rising when he realised the letter was addressed to him. “It’s Love Productions, they’ve responded,” he said. “You did it Louis, You did it. You’re going to be the next winner of the Great British Bake Off.”

“Are you fucking with me, babe?”, Louis was shaking, and he began to read the letter out loud. “Dear Mr Tomlinson, we are delighted to announce that you have been chosen to participate in British Bake Off 2021.”

“Luke,”he whispered. He couldn’t stop the massive grin creeping up on his face, remembering how he put lots of effort into his audition tape of him baking a difficult toffee apple cake that had taken him weeks to perfect before he sent in the final video. “Luke, I got in,” he said softly, looking at his boyfriend. “Yeah babe, you did,” Luke replied, pulling Louis into his arms. “I’m so proud of you”, he said, kissing Louis deeply. Louis smiled against his lips.

Niall POV ~

Niall sighed as he looked across the street at the dive bar. He was supposed to meet up with his brother that night. He could not for the life of him figure out why he suggested that bar. At first, he thought it was just muscle memory, but now, he is starting to think there was probably more subconscious thought behind it. He took another deep breath, then crossed the street and entered the Dolphin. It looked the same as it did three weeks ago, which was when he last visited. The memories however, seemed more vivid and each one seemed to scald him more than the previous one. 

Niall willed himself to shake it off, this was about Greg and he said that he had big news, so Niall needed to focus on that. He found a place at the bar and smiled at the bartender, Sam. “Alright there Niall?” Sam greeted with an answering smile. “Hiya Sam, I’m alright, could be better.” said Niall. 

“The regular?” asked Sam, when he noticed that they didn’t have time for idle chit-chat as the crowds near the bar started increasing. “No, I’d like a little stronger tonight, please.” Niall internally winced, hoping Sam would not ask for details. Thankfully, Sam seemed to understand and didn’t push. Instead, his face contorted into one of sympathy and he went away to get Niall’s drink, probably something of his own making.

It had been exactly three weeks since Niall proposed to his ex and got rejected in front of everyone he loved. He had been planning it for weeks and all he got in return was “I’m sorry Niall, but I thought we were on the same brainwave here. I’m beginning to lose the spark with you, so I was thinking thinking that you took me on this date to break-up.” Niall had been devastated. He had spent the past three weeks moping around his house drinking a dubious amount of alcohol until Greg called a couple of days ago, wanting Niall to meet him at the Dolphin because he had some big news. If it was another baby, his next Christmas present from Niall would be a pack of condoms.

Someone slid into the seat next to him and he looked up to see Greg, who was wearing a black bomber jacket and sunglasses.

“You know those sunglasses make you look like a douche?”

“Fuck off Niall, you’ll understand fashion when you’re older.”

Niall just rolled his eyes at his brother who prefer to act younger than he was.

“So why’d you call me here?” Niall was eager to leave this bar full of melancholic memories and get back home to get back to the Netflix show he was binge-watching.

“Well little brother, you know how we got drunk a couple of months ago and we thought it would be funny to sign you up for the Great British Bake Off?” Niall nodded, not knowing where this was going. “Well apparently, they really liked your audition tape, and want you to join the next season of the show!”

Niall just stared at him dumbfounded. He was a baking enthusiast, but he never thought he’d be god enough to go on what is possibly the most famous baking show in the world. His audition tape was nothing noteworthy, just a video of him making an apple and lavender sponge, a strange combination of flavours that Niall came up with on a whim. The flavours weirdly worked well together and they must’ve impressed the producers of the show.

Greg didn’t seem to notice his shock as he carried on talking. “The show starts in July, so you have just over 3 months to prepare. Of course I’m always here to help if you need anything, but I don’t think I’m quite as skilled around the kitchen as you are.”

With renewed enthusiasm, Niall grabbed a napkin from the counter and started making his list of things he wanted to go through in preparation for the Bake Off tent.

old haunts are for forgotten ghosts by fortymaliks | T | 8400 “It’s the three of us, now,” Harry says, finally. Louis blinks. “Like,” Harry rushes to clarify, “you, and me, and Nick.” Louis wakes up with amnesia, and learns that he's missing two whole years of his life. Two whole years, and some interesting developments...

Somebody Hurt You (I Know A Place) by Writcraft | E | 20643 An unexpected encounter brings Nick and Louis together but before they can tell anyone about their relationship an attack on Louis tears them both apart. Nick struggles to deal with the fact Louis no longer remembers their time together as Louis struggles with his injuries and nightmares in the aftermath of the attack. Together they help one another to heal and learn how to love all over again.

written in my memory by carissima | M | 21646 Liam turns towards the voice. It sounds a bit like Harry, but deeper somehow. Huskier. He blinks carefully as he stares at Harry, who's half-sitting in the window, staring back at him. Or maybe it's not Harry, he thinks dizzily because this boy is taller, much taller than Harry is. He's also got longer hair, tucked back in a bandana, and he's wearing clothes that Harry would never wear; tight skinny black jeans and a loose black tee, silver chains around his neck hanging loose over his chest. Or the one where Liam has amnesia and he struggles to connect with the boys.

i believe him when he tells of loving me by bitterlee | M | 28894 louis doesn't remember harry. harry takes him home.

fondre ton absence by scrunchyharry | T | 41315 Harry had never really given much thought to the future. He preferred to let life steer him forward and to follow in the footsteps of Louis, his best friend from as far as his memory went, his lover, his everything. Louis knew better than he did what was good for him. It changed drastically when Louis was ripped away from him, drafted and sent to the front to fight in a war that Harry had always been sure would never reach him. Too young and too sickly to follow, Harry was left on his own for the first time in his life. When he thought things could not possibly get worse, Louis went missing at the Somme and was declared dead. While everyone buried and mourned him, Harry never moved on. If Louis were dead, he was sure that he would know it. Their lives were too entwined, he would know if half of his heart had died. Determined to find Louis, Harry did everything he could in his quest to be reunited with him, except prepare for the state Louis might be in. He did not prepare for the harsh truth he would have to face: was love possible without memories?

Let Our Hearts Collide by crinkle-eyed-boo | M | 76859 “Liam is in a coma.” “Yeah, we can see that,” the father says, throwing his hands in the air. “God, this is the most depressing Christmas ever,” the blonde sister mutters. “His vital signs are strong,” Dr. Higgins assures them. “Brain waves are good–” “Brain waves?” the mother wails, taking Liam’s hand in hers. “Oh my God!” “How did this happen?” the father demands. “Um, he was pushed from the platform at the subway station,” Harry pipes up. The entire family turns to look at him, confused. Harry shrinks back, wishing he could have just kept his big mouth shut. “Who’s this?” the father asks, pointing at him. “Um, I’m Harry–” he starts. “He’s Liam’s fiancé!” Jade adds helpfully from where she stands by the door. Every jaw in the room drops, including Harry’s. Oh, shit. Shit shit shit. What? When Harry, a lonely transit worker, saves the life of the handsome commuter he's been secretly pining for, an innocent mistake results in Liam Payne's family believing that Harry is engaged to their son. In the Paynes, Harry finds the big family he's always longed for...and a love he never saw coming. A While You Were Sleeping AU

Consequences by allwaswell16 | E | 78566 Two years ago Harry let his powerful family come between him and the love of his life, something he deeply regrets. Louis has tried to move on from their devastating break up. Sometimes, he even thinks he has. It only takes one moment to freeze them back in time. An amnesia au

Meet Me in Montauk by make_this_feel_like_home | M | 84170 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind AU. What do you do when the love of your life forgets who you are? What if there was a place you could go to have a person--and all the pain they caused--erased from your memories forever? Louis Tomlinson isn't quite sure why he woke up one day and felt like a different person. He also isn't quite sure who the green eyed stranger who knows his best mate Zayn is, but when he finds himself in the same lift as one Harry Styles, he knows he wants to find out. Harry's entire life is defined by one moment: the accident that made him forget years of his life. There had been a guy... but he can't for the life of him remember who he was. And now, a chance encounter with a charming bookshop keeper makes Harry feel like maybe the past doesn't matter as much as he'd always thought it did. Suddenly things that never made sense were starting to make sense again. Or The one where Harry has amnesia, Louis can't handle the pain and Lacuna Inc provides a unique service: the ability to erase a person from your memories.

For As Long As I Can Remember (It's Been December) by green_feelings | E | 128451 After recovering from a severe accident that causes Harry to lose his memory of three years, he moves to London to start his life over as a star chef. Little does he know that when he falls in love with Louis at first sight, it’s not the first time they meet. Featuring an unintentional game of hot and cold, Harry chasing memories that won’t come back, Louis burying himself in work to try and forget what he can’t forget, Liam being torn between two of his best friends, Zayn as a moral compass and Niall saving the day with good music and brutal honesty.

[justsomelarryfics]

Here are the fics that I read in the month of March, 2019, that I finished and enjoyed. I will first shows fics from this month, and then older ones.

Sorted by length

New this month

Do You Wanna Ride by @phd-mama -  When Liam's attractive new business partner wins riding lessons with Harry, hilarity ensues. (one shot, 4k)

Tell Me I’m Punk by @tiniinbookland - ""How punk do I seem?"" The one were Harry wants to be a punk but Louis loves him just like he is. (one shot, 4k)

Just Go With It by @rainbowsandlovehl - “Brett, there’s something I need to tell you,” he started, inwardly cringing at his choice of words before taking in a deep breath. Brett seemed curious, raising her eyebrows expectantly. “The reason I haven’t been texting you back is that...” “Harry, they were all out of organic guacamole,” a raspy, unfamiliar male voice interrupted, startling him into silence. “So I got us the normal one. Hope that’s alright?” Harry has no idea how to escape awkward situation but luckily for him, Louis swoops in to help. (one shot, 6k)

Only One at the Finish Line by @horsegirlharry for @1dgayboficfest - “What don’t I know?!” Louis shouts, and then Harry is rounding on him, close enough that he can feel the heat of his body, the rage and the glory and the pain of it so close that it blinds him.“I want to be another alpha’s omega,” is what he says, and it comes out like something reckless, something wild. Like he doesn't care anymore if Louis hates him or not, if Louis understands, he just needs to speak his truth aloud to darkness, to the slender pines that surround them like a jury panel. (one shot, 9k)

fall in love with the moon (and everything beautiful) by @microlouis -  “It’s adorable that you think you can compromise with me on this,” Louis says. He places his hands on his hips and tries his best to look intimidating. “But I am not budging on this. Every book pun you say will result in one quarter in the jar.” “What jar?” Harry asks. He furrows his eyebrows together. Louis rolls his eyes. “Like a swear jar, but now I’m going to make yours ‘Harry’s dumbass pun jar.’ Maybe I’ll have you put a quarter in for every pun you say, not just the ones about books. Niall was right - you tell the worst jokes.” “One time Niall told me I’d never said a funny joke in my life,” Harry says casually. “Funny. He told me that too.” or, louis and harry work in a bookstore together and harry tells dumb jokes and they fall in love (one shot, 10k)

Naked Attraction - Naked Attraction: a gameshow where the contestant views 6 naked possible partners and narrows them down based off of pure attraction. Harry was not a fan of the shallow gameshow, so he decided to mix it up a little. Louis Tomlinson was the only gay and unfortunate staff member chosen to step in for one of the six possible partners when someone drops out. He hated working there, and he definitely didn't want to agree, but it was too good of an offer to be turned down. Nothing would come out of it, surely, and they even agreed to keep his identity a secret.That all changed when famous singer Harry Styles walked out. Louis had no idea who he was, and Harry liked that about him.. . .Or the one based off a British TV show called Naked Attraction that I found hilarious. (one shot, 12k)

All I Want Is To Fall With You by @2tiedships2 - The pair looked at each other for a few moments before Harry moved forward and gathered Louis in an unexpected hug. It was nice, but why the fuck was an unknown alpha hugging him? Maybe an even better question would be why did Louis feel so secure in this stranger's arms? Harry quickly let go and Louis felt something pull at him."Sorry," Harry said, holding his hands up in surrender. "Shit, um, that just seemed a natural response for some reason. I’m so sorry." Louis smiled up at the alpha. "It's okay. Thanks again, Harry." "You're welcome. I know it's horrible weather, and less than optimal circumstances, but this was a brilliant meet-cute." What the fuck was a meet-cute? Or the weekend ski trip where omega Louis discovers that he can’t change a tire and his skiing skills are debatable but still manages to find the alpha who will change his life. (one shot, 16k)

the act of making noise by @suspendrs - “Oh,” Harry frowns, waving him off. “No, I could never. I respect myself too much to sing for a living.”It feels like a slap across the face, but Louis does his best not to stiffen, blinking once and then frowning. “What?” “Those people are always so miserable, you know?” Harry says, hopping down off his stool and straightening his sweater. “There’s so much pressure on them, and they have to work so hard to keep up appearances, I can’t even imagine how difficult that is. I can’t even stand to listen to pop music today, let alone watch TV or read the magazines. It makes me so sad, thinking that those people, you know, the ones who actually went into it with heart, they only ever just wanted to make music and instead they got turned into things on leashes being paraded around to make money for other people,” he says. “Anyway, you can have the stool.” Or, Louis's famous, Harry has no idea who he is, and they get snowed in together at a ski lodge in Vermont. (chaptered, may be continued, 22k)

Take Me Down Slow (Don’t Let Me Go) by @jacaranda-bloom for @1dgayboficfest - Louis has always felt different. Not necessarily on the outer realm of societal norms, but pretty damn close to the edge. As an Omega, he’s supposed to want certain things; to want to raise a family, to want to build a life with a partner, and to want that partner to be an Alpha.Well, two out of three ain’t bad.OR the one where Louis wants to find the right kind of partner to love, Niall hates snowboarding, Liam wants to settle down, Harry is really good with his hands, and mother nature could be the thing that changes everything. (chaptered, complete, 26k)

Steady Eddie - “We’re bringing in a guy.” Ben said. Eddie stared at him.“You’re what?” Ben shrugged. “Apparently the gay market is grossly untapped,” he commented. “We stand to make a fortune. We have it on good authority that the gays love you. Of course,” he added with a dirty smirk. “Your size and all…” “Of course,” Eddie replied drily; something smarting in his chest. “I’ve been asking for a guy for the last two years…” “Well, now you’re getting one,” Ben smiled. (chaptered, complete, 84k, locked, read tags for a better understanding of what this fic is about)

Older fics

sweet, sweet fate by @bottomlinsons for @1dshortficfest -  Harry’s lived with a NSFW soulmark for almost twenty-five years now. When he finally meets the man responsible, he gives him a little piece of his mind. (one shot, 1k, feb. 2019)

Say It With Flowers by @reminiscingintherain - From the prompt: Person A owns a flower shop and person B comes storming in one day, slaps 20 bucks on the counter and says “How do I passive-aggressively say fuck you in flower?” (one shot, 2k, jan. 2019)

Got Me an Appetite by @flamboyantdaddy for @1dgayboficfest -  So it's something, and Louis isn't sure how to approach it. She doesn't want to sound ungrateful. The past few months have been heaven, and she doesn't want to make Harry feel like Louis doesn't worship the ground she walks on (ok, a bit over dramatic, but sometimes it feels like that). She just wants to make her girlfriend come. (one shot, 8k, feb. 2019)

All Hearts Come Home For Christmas by @itsprobablylarry - Gemma, who the fuck is that?” Louis hisses as he watches her wave back with a big smile. Her brows furrow for a second as she looks at Louis. “What? That’s my brother, you dork. Told you he’d pick us up, didn’t I?” Well fuck. Apparently, Mr. Handsome over there is Gemma’s brother. And Louis is spending a week with him. Pretending to be his sister’s boyfriend. Shit. (Basically: Gemma brings ‘her boyfriend’, Louis, home for Christmas and her brother is really hot.) (one shot, 8k, 2015, I also recommend the sequel)

You’re home now kitten by @thesedumbboys - “But, I'm just a stray” Louis looks so broken, sad, disappointed almost. Not even daring to look up from the floor, fumbling with his hands, ears down submissively. The sight almost makes Harry, known to everyone for his soft heart, tear up. “Nope, followed me here, this is your home now.” Harry smiles, speaking confidently, surprised himself that his voice didn’t come out shaky with emotion. “That’s the rule” He shrugs.... Louis is a stray and he follows Harry home. Harry likes him too much and makes him stay and Louis ends up quite liking it. (one shot, 9k, feb. 2019)

Your Touch Is The Only Thing I Feel by @2tiedships2 - Liam. Liam was finally here. Louis kept his eyes closed and cuddled farther into Liam’s side, revelling in the pheromones Louis’ body desperately needed. He wasn’t sure how long Liam had been holding him, but Louis figured it had to have been at least an hour by the way his body had loosened. The need of an alpha’s touch seemed to have been temporarily lifted from his mind. Louis listened to the sounds of the pub around him. It was louder than before he had fallen asleep and he briefly wondered why Liam hadn’t just woken him to go back to their flat.“Who the fuck are you?” Louis’ eyes flew open at the sound of Niall’s voice, and the arm that had been around Louis shoulders lifted in the same instant. He missed the warmth immediately. Louis looked from Niall’s stormy face over to the person who was definitely not Liam. The alpha Liam impersonator, who smelled a lot better than the actual Liam now that Louis was alert, looked back at Louis with wide eyes and familiar furrowed brows. Or the one where Louis refuses to settle for just any alpha despite intense touch deprivation. Fortunately Harry isn't just any alpha. (one shot, 15k, 2018)

bring out feelings in me i never show by @tomorrows - “I really think you should stop reading,” Liam says, having moved to hover behind Louis’ back at some point. “I can already see the cogs turning in your head, Louis, and I don’t like this.” “Shut up,” Louis waves him off and continues reading. I can do these things, at your request: openly hit on other female guests while you act like you don’t notice; start instigative discussions about politics and/or religion; propose to you in front of everyone; pretend to be really drunk as the evening goes on (sorry I don’t drink, but I used to); start an actual, physical fight with a family member, either inside or on the front lawn for all the neighbors to see. [Louis accidentally hires a felon to be his fake boyfriend for Thanksgiving. Or, the fake boyfriends au no one asked for, inspired by this.] (chaptered, complete, 24k, locked)

don’t tell the gods (we left a mess) by @bottomlinsons - After a misunderstanding with Liam’s mother, Louis agrees to accompany his best friend to a family wedding and pretend to be the world’s best boyfriend. But their simple plan goes awry when he learns that Harry, ex-boyfriend/ex-love of Louis’ life, will also be in attendance. (aka: fake!boyfriends with a twist ft. bromance, romance and cake.) (chaptered, complete, 71k, (I know, I also can’t believe I only just read this fic, as you can tell I was just really into fake relationships this month))
