[It shouldn't matter that Alex has been present for each and every one of Henry's most important life milestones, sometimes the singular catalyst for them. It shouldn't be important that he's grown to be more familiar to Henry than even some of his own family members, that part of him is burrowed so deeply into Henry's subconscious that he can taste it sometimes, that even when Alex crashes in, spirited and passionate, it feels like an easy exhale; like coming home.
There’s such recency bias in fandom. As an author you post something, get a few reactions, and then it goes off into the bin. As a reader you check the tags, see what’s new, and move on. But a lot of old stuff is really good. It’s just sitting there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to take a peek.

possibly!!! i got really sick last year and everything kind of got put on hold for a while. i still don’t have the time/energy i used to have but i did enjoy finishing this last fic! i have several wips that are more than halfway finished that at one point i was really excited about, so i don’t want them to go to waste! i don’t know if i’m up for starting anything from scratch right now but i think i’m definitely going to keep adding to the ones i have going and see what happens :) 💛
thank you for sending me a message! i hope you’re doing well and that you enjoy the fic <3
There are certain things he still believes, that he’ll probably always think are true. The adrenaline does run out eventually and the serotonin levels even out again. People gain and lose interest in each other constantly. The honeymoon phase dwindles away to the tune of other, sometimes more bitter realities.
But maybe there’s a silver lining to all of it, like Harry suggested before. Or, even if there isn’t, maybe it’s worth it anyway just to feel something. Maybe the answer to his existential burning question lies more in how people handle the emotional fluctuation instead of solely its existence. Not to avoid, but to accept and acknowledge. Maybe the goal is to feel as many things as possible while they’re here, while they’re alive, while their hearts are pumping blood and their veins are thrumming with adrenaline, hairs standing on end. Maybe, maybe, maybe.
Maybe Louis’ been wrong this entire time. And maybe that’s okay.
