Is there actually a situation in which Beron would fight Az in a Blood Duel over the whole Lucien/Elain/Azriel drama? Why would Beron care about his least favorite (not actual) son's mate?? It could make more sense if it was LoA or Helion fighting him, but Az???
Ugh this theory is right up there with spy Elain for me. Imagine, if you will, the implications of a foreign court going in and killing the High Lord. Because every theory around Az/Elain killing Beron (for whatever hairbrained reason) would cause massive, major problems for Rhys. So lets start there.
Beron could call a blood due I GUESS if he thought he could kill Azriel but again, why would he want to? Like politically that maneuver makes no sense and I doubt SJM is about to make the HL's care about a courtier in rival Courts...court.
These theories are a bastardization of what Rhys said. LUCIEN would have to call the duel. Only Lucien can, as Beron's "son", and he's the aggrieved party. Beron can't call on Lucien's behalf on a romantic matter (and he fucking wouldn't, okay. He murdered Jesminda for being "lesser" and we all know that there is no way he's fond of human born Elain as a member of his family.).
If a blood duel is called, it's gonna be Helion vs Beron and even then I can't figure out the logistics because according to Rhys, the Autumn Court party would have to call it. Narratively, perhaps Helion forces Beron's hand by knocking on his front door like "SURPRISE SHAWTY".
It could also be Eris/Beron or LOA/Beron. Both of those make sense to me for differing reasons. Eris could call his father for treason, LOA could call for literally her whole life (assuming women are allowed to, which again, we don't know the politics of).
Giving this plot to Az is just another thing being taken from Lucien's inevitable story line to try and convince certain readers that Elain and Lucien are not endgame. When you look at the plot being set up, you can see roads diverging. One is Autumn and Day Court and that belongs to Lucien and Elain. I think that's why this retconn of "well Elain/Az will be the ones to murder Beron" is happening, because otherwise what are E/A even doing as a plot? Staring sadly across a pot of mashed potatoes? Dutifully obeying their High Lord some more? Moving on because it wasn't that important to them in the first place.

What is your take on HS1, FL & Walls being break-up albums, especially considering L is extremely honest with lyrics???
hi! i was so shocked when i saw this in my inbox, bc im not like an expert or anything and i’ve been here for hardly any time. i hope i don’t disappoint you tho sjaksj. reminder: this is just my opinion, based on what i’ve read from posts and what i gather from the lyrics. 
louis is very open with his feelings and i think he’s quite vulnerable with harry because they trust each other that they’re not gonna use the weaknesses against each other. many people think that two ghosts was about “the first time he broke up” with harry, but if you watch that video it’s pretty clear that harry was joking. i don’t think hl ever broke up, i don’t think they ever wanted to be with anyone else. two ghosts, something great and jalboyh were written around the same time, and tbh they’re so honest and raw it actually hurts me to listen to them. two ghosts is totally about them not being able to be public with their relationship and all the bearding and stuff (i can’t touch what i see=not being able to act like they did with the other boys bc there would always be tender touches accompanying them, because they weren't just bandmates, and fans would always spot them so hl were social distancing since 2013, bless them) (telling those stories we’ve already told, cause we don’t say what we really mean=harry being a “womanizer” and louis making fun of larries and pretending it’s a joke) and like, come on. harry was fucking nineteen at the time. i don’t think they ever anticipated all the bullshit and lies that came with the fame. he desperately needed louis to cling on, needed all the support he could geṭ. i hate that, it's so hard.
however, i do think they had some kind of altercation in 2017. now im just assuming, don't come at me. judging by the lyrics of always you (which was written in 2017) ("should have never let you go"=it's kind of like a breakup song, and like louis is regretting it). walls (the album) has been five years in the making, and im sure it's like a journey of their relationship, if that makes sense? too young is about how they didn't know they had everything and obviously they must have made some mistakes but it doesn't matter because they're still together, still going strong :') ("im sorry that i hurt you darling"=this just stands with my theory even though idk when exactly ty was written, i think louis wrote it after harry left="it felt nothing like home cuz you're not home"). now as much as i don't want to believe it, i think louis sort of said something to harry that he took personally and maybe their relationship was getting kind of tiring(?), what with dunkirk's promo and release and all, and maybe they needed a break for a while and that fight was the last straw? harry left i assume ("the day you walked away and took the higher ground") but im sure they were back together soon.
unpopular opinion: i hate hs1. im not a huge fan of harry's music, tbh. fine line was alright ig, lyrically i kind of liked it. i haven't really listened to hs1, apart from two ghosts, meet me in the hallway and two/three other songs i can't remember rn. therefore, i can't judge if hs1 was a break up album but ig they had to fit some lyrics to fit the public narrative? like louis including the uni line in wmi, like harry writing cherry. (there's a theory that harry wrote cherry about dylan rider and camille rowe) and i quite agree with it. on spotify, when you listen to fl, there's lots of bs about harry's writers helping him get over the "breakup" by writing songs, and tbh i think it's portrayed as a break up album on purpose? because larry for sure NEVER broke up. some sad parts might have been written during "the fight" period, as i call it, but again, this is just an assumption. please don't send me hate over this sjejej
i hope this made sense to you :)

I finally don't feel any grief or hate for this show - I know, it took a while, but hear me out. It seems that the perfect ending for HL would have been that moment in S4, when they sit together talking about Carrie's father and the letters he wrote to Saul demanding she would be brought back from oversees. I love that scene. There is no unfinished buisiness (kiss never happens), they are sad he's gone but they all are home.
Well, theydo say that time heals all wounds. They also say that hindsight is 20/20. 
I hope you don’t mind if I use your ask as a jumping-off point to articulate my thoughts re: fandom upset. 
Lookingback, it’s kind of easy to see how it all went off the rails. 
First ofall, Quinn should have died in the season five finale. Like, Quinn got exposedto sarin gas in 5x09, and it was all downhill for him from there. He was in acoma, they woke him up, he suffered a brain hemorrhage, and from there hebasically had no chance of recovery. They read the letter. Carrie seemed to beletting him go, and even like she was prepared to help him along with it. Iremember, after 5.12 aired, I was pretty shocked and miserable and generallydisbelieving. And I had nobody to talk to, because I didn’t know you guys yet.
My friendmessaged me on Christmas night to talk about the finale, which he had just caughtup with. 
Friend: Merry Christmas. I saw the finale.Though I think I need to see it again to reassess what happened. I like howQuinn’s story ended (assuming it ended). Not so much Allison’s, though Iwouldn’t mind seeing Ivan again.Ashley: I’m 99% sure that we will seeQuinn again. I liked Allison’s ending. It was very reminiscent of TheGodfather.Ashley: Quinn’s ending made no senseto me, but it does make sense that we’d be on opposite sides of this.Friend: I kinda hope he’s not back. Ifeel like they’ve gone as far as they can go with regard to abusing him.Ashley:The finale just pissed me off. It was a stupid cliffhanger, because it’s notsustainable. Like, if Quinn is dead, then what’s the point?Friend:I guess I saw it as them plainly stating that he is dead. She took off the oxygenmonitor because what’s the point anymore, and just wanted a moment alone withhim.Friend:I’ll be annoyed if that’s not what they’re doing.Ashley:She took off the oxygen monitor so that she could put him out of his miserywithout arousing suspicion, but he wasn’t even on life support.Friend:Yeah, that’s why I don’t think it was that. I don’t think she was speedingthings along so much as just silencing the room. 
Ihad a million billion thoughts about the 5.12 finale, my favorite theory beingone that Dar Adal was just fucking with Carrie, but my friend’s comments reallyexemplify why people used to pay him to watch, review, and analyze shit. He wascompletely right. That ending for Quinn would have been much more respectfulthan what we ultimately ended up with. I think it would have been a finecontrast with Brody’s death, and I think it would have made for a tremendouslyinteresting character arc for Carrie in season six. 
Inthe aftermath of 5.12, though, I remember how upset people were. I lurkedaround the fandom until obviously I stopped lurking, but the impression I got (particularly in the carrie-quinn livejournal community) was irrepressible and universal sadness over his death. I was upset about it,but not really that upset, because —as you can see in the conversation above — I didn’t really get it. I also feltlike there were a lot of parallels to Jack Bauer in 24, and Jack had come back fromdeath a couple of times with few ill effects. Of course, this show is not 24.But when Howard Gordon announced that Quinn would be returning, I felt veryvalidated.
Andthe more involved I got with the Homeland fandom, the more it felt like everybody felt the same way as I did.People wondered why we had ever believedthat Quinn had died, and I was just, like… mass hysteria? And I think that’strue, but I don’t think the fandom ever recovered from that. It just became anecho chamber. Quinn was our Tinkerbell and if we clapped hard enough, we couldsave him. 
Maybeour indignant cries after 5.12 really were a factor in Quinn’s return. But Idon’t think so. I don’t think we ever had the influence we thought we did. 
ButI don’t know. I really don’t. I can’t understand the point of bringing him backjust to torment him for eleven-and-a-half more episodes and then kill him.
That’sthe part that’s upsetting, I think. I know a lot of people who quit watchingHomeland after season six, but who probably would have carried on with the showif Quinn had died at the end of season five. His death at the end of season sixwas a betrayal in a way that his death at the end of season five wouldn’t havebeen. They gave fans room to exhale and an entire year to speculate on Quinn’sfuture and what it might mean for Carrie and the show. By the time they put himout of his misery for real, it was too late.
Butit’s been eighteen entire months since 6.12, and that’s the other thing. Time.
Andthe great thing about television is that you really can pretend the show endsbefore it gets to a point that makes you unhappy. For me, Buffy ends at the endof season five (Once More With Feeling is Willow’s fever dream). Angel ends atthe end of season three. (I know that those are both BAD PLACES to end eitherseries, but what can I say, I love a miserable ending… I’m sure that Homeland8.12 will be everything my masochistic soul desires.) 
Sokeep on keeping on with your happy(-ish) ending. The show is what it is, andwill be what it will be. But thankfully the show is ending soon and, anyway,none of us (except for Sara) MUST watch.

Well I guess this is the last official commentary post about HL2 since I’ve finished the episodes (or second to last. i must have forgotten to mention smth)
I’m a bit confused because I’ve heard people begging for HL3 but what they’re supposed to be begging for is Episode Three. Quoting the commentary for Episode 2, “We are at the mid-point in our trilogy of episodes which will conclude in Episode 3″, and remembering the draft plot of E3, we should conclude the HL2 stuff first. Initally I got a bit disappointed bc I thought that my “every game is a kinda separate story” theory was ruined by Episodes being not simply DLCs but full-fledged continuation of the base game. But the stuff with Alyx being taken in the end of E3 makes me reconsider because it hints towards a possibility of Alyx being the playable character in HL3 (although where will Gordon go? no one knows. but actually they could kill him off if/when they finally do E3 and HL3), inserted indeed into a bit different story.
It’s at the same time a very 🤔 moment and a total not surprise that GMan was at the root of the Mesa incident but it still sucks that we have learned nothing but this and the existence of some Alyx agenda over the episodes. It’s really frustrating that he can freeze time all he wants but he refuses to share more than an atom of wisdom during his visits. GMan, you’re some kinda manager, your CEOs want some specific results but you refuse to tell your slave employee what exactly he has to do, where’s the logic in that? This makes sense only if the results in question are “total mayhem and the Combine being majorly inconvenienced”. Otherwise your only compass is the game’s totally linear stucture which would break only in E3 (i suppose the correct choice there would be to blow Borealis tf up. if “unforseen consequences” made Eli think so then that is how it was supposed to be as per GMan’s plan. unless you’re feeling rowdy and rebellious. also? don’t trust anything with Aperture Science written on it). 
Episodes were pretty fun. I liked even that part where you fight off striders (thank god they blew up from only one MAGNUSSON DEVICE tm), although it took me some time to think about just running over the hunters and many tries to do it cleanly. Sadly, not enough rocket launcher scenes, they’ve always been entertaining. I loved how responsive Alyx was from hopping into the car from any direction to screaming "Gordon, where are you?!" when I turned off the flashlight, it sounded so anguished my heart broke.
The actual tragedy of the entire HL2+Eps was how little time Alyx could spend with Dog:( Also the lack of a normal sniper rifle. I'm still absolutely bewildered by everything apparently happening in Ukraine. It's not even on the same continent as Black Mesa what the fuck. And I mean, I would be honored if the game actually payed the homage to the place. But it never went further than names - architecture was all over the place in every place, no style correct aside from traditional USSR panel houses, not a single word in Ukranian (and I don't remember Odessa being a particularly Russian speakers-dominant area). So.
But anyway, this was fun. I am 95% sure there will be a continuation - nowadays every fucking thing gets remade or continued no matter whether it needs that or not. So to purposefully evade continuing HL would be... pretty weird.

hi hi hi! so i feel like a lot of my most favorite fics dont get talked about much, therefore i wanted to create a proper fic rec masterpost to spread the love!! this is going to be a looooong list, so hopefully theres something for everyone (though i do firmly believe u should read every single one of these before u die)
in no particular order, but a * indicates my absolute faves that i reread monthly:
hats off to my distant hope by navigator (21k) *
Harry is in White Eskimo. Louis is in London.
AU loosely inspired by the song “505” by Arctic Monkeys.
-kicking this off with one of my very favorites. i think my favorite trope is when hl have this angsty “we’re not dating but definitely fucking and also doing everything couples do also i’m irrevocably in love with you why aren’t we dating?” sort of moment. its painful in the sweetest way, and this fic captures that perfectly. there will be quite a few of those on this list, i’ll bet
up the long delirious burning blue by orphan_account (6k)
harry is a swimmer & louis is the writer who somehow manages to make him come up for air. 
-this one is quite sad. so poetic and painful and lovely and unf (warning for mentions of suicide and depression, and the ending is quite ambiguous but there is no MCD)
we wreak havoc with out hearts by flimsy (9k)
Harry finds that he can’t keep things separate; neither can Louis.
Harry tousles his hair, smoothes it back, shrugging. 
“Alright,” he says. “I’m, you know, outside if you need anything.” 
“Yeah,” Louis replies. “Sure.” 
He doesn’t look like he’ll be needing Harry, and Harry tells himself that that’s okay. They’ve both got their moods sometimes or maybe the timing isn’t good, and if it’s not then that’s alright as well. Harry can respect that. And it’s not like this is their first tour; Harry knows that Louis will come around. He always does.
-another one of those w that trope i talked about. im gonna call it the RFWB trope (romantic friends w benefits). this one is so hot and good
rather this than live without you by mediaville (10k) *
Harry decides to give it all up. Louis refuses to be left behind.
-RFWB pt. 3. i ADORE this fic. just the setting and the angst and the smut ugh it all has me on the floor
one day to believe in you by mediaville (7k) 
A mysterious force compels Louis to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Even when it’s really inconvenient.
Harry blinks and has the nerve to look surprised. 
“You think about me when you get off?”
“Yes,” Louis says. He wonders how hard he’d need to punch himself in the face to knock himself out.
“Often?”
“Yes, Christ, Harry,” Louis groans. “Probably eight times a week for going on six years now. On average, you know. More when we were touring, less when I’ve been visiting family. Anything else you’d like to know?”
- :-)))))))
all my love was down in a frozen ground by navigator (16k)
Louis goes to the woods. 
AU very loosely inspired by the creation of Bon Iver’s first record.
-i’ll be honest i dont even remember what this fic is about but its in my bookmarks and its by navigator so i know that its good
boys of summer by sharktoothedfawnskinned (49k) *
What he wants is for this to be a forever thing, not someplace Harry spent the summer once.  What he wants is for this to be more than a memory.
(New Jersey beach town AU.) 
- I SCREAM EVERY TIME READ THIS RIGHT NOW 
we should get jerseys by orphan_account (12k) *
There’s a lot surrounding Harry, and Louis knows, in his heart of hearts, that there always will be. He just doesn’t know if he’ll manage to equate into the ‘always’ of it.
(Harry is a hockey player, and Louis is his slightly melodramatic boyfriend.)
- another old favorite!!! pretty much anything that involves harry being good at sports has me on my knees bc it paves way for automatic angst, louis being jealous of a puck/ball/net/what have you, and uhhh various other *athletic* activities
the finish line (is a good place for us to start) by @loaded-gunn (122k)
Louis Tomlinson, one-time Formula 1 World Champion, is looking forward to the 2013 season. He’s got Zayn in his garage and Liam in his ear, he’s got Cowell Racing backing him despite former indiscretions, he’s got experience and the best race car out there. Not to mention he’s the only racer they have, after Oliver dropped out late last year.
It hasn’t occurred to him that Oliver would have to be replaced by February. That is, until he finds himself at a party celebrating Harry Styles leaving Ferrari for Cowell. Harry hotshot Styles, who broke a record last year and is probably looking to make a big splash. Harry Styles, who is talented and somewhat intimidating. Harry Styles, who left Ferrari for reasons unknown and seems kind of lonely and harmless in person. Lonely, harmless, hot as fuck. Whatever.
The first thing Louis does is take him under his wing. From there it’s nine months of slow-burning romance, the past catching up to them, turning into the human puppy pile that is OT5 and a lot of feelings until, of course, reaching the finish line.
-one of the first 1d fics i remember reading. i havent touched it in a long time but it used to be my #1 fave and it has a special place in my heart. so much pining, only not really in a frustrating way bc theres abundant flirting and they kiss in like, the second scene. its basically louis trying to keep his shit together and failing miserably. AND its stuffed with fandom meta which is quite entertaining if youve been here for awhile. anyway give this a read, i truly love it so much
so keep my candle bright by whisperdlullaby (78k) *
louis returns to his hometown after four years to find that the reverend’s son has done some growing up of his own.
-god. the characterization in this one is just gorgeous. the way louis helps harry accept/explore his sexuality is so beautiful and i think about it every day. a must read!!! (warning for homophobia and religious themes)
no one like you by @myownsparknow (20k)
Dear Niall,
I was glad to have the chance to talk with you again at the AHA conference. Your idea that the Musee D’Orsay Tomlinson painting is in fact not a self-portrait is an intriguing one, and I may have discovered something that will have a bearing on that theory.
Some background: as you may remember, I’ve been researching for a book I’m writing about Harry Styles. I’ve been in communication with Styles’ last living descendant, who is in possession of a trunk that her family believed to have belonged to Styles himself. It held some personal items she presumes to be his, including two unmounted paintings and a small collection of letters.
Upon spending the last few days in Provins studying these items, I believe there to be a connection between Tomlinson and Styles, and I would very much like your opinion.
Are you up for a trip to France?
Sincerely, Liam Payne
Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide.
-this is one of the only recent fics on this list bc i like to stew in the past and pretend all my favorite writers havent left the fandom. i read it when it first came out and man oh man, its like poetry. so gorgeously written, and hl’s relationship is so deeply rooted and beautiful. i love
our little corner of the world by brownheadedstranger (30k)
AU. Louis is stuck in his mom’s diner for the summer. Harry is the line cook with a pickup truck.
-so good!! i’d die for americanized fics which doesnt even make sense bc i hate america but. what can u do 
i could dream all night by @fondleeds (73k) *
As the sun kisses the horizon, one last flash of light before the stars and the moon take over, his phone will brighten in his grasp, Louis’ name appearing on screen, come over or wanna see you or miss your mouth. Harry always lingers on those messages, elbows bruising on the cool metal of the railing by the lookout, watching the water as he thumbs at the side of his phone, lips bitten into his mouth, trying to will away the bubbling in his stomach, the heat that flushes to his neck at the thought of being thought of.
At the thought of Louis thinking of him.
AU. Harry spends his summer away from the city.
-lordt. where the fuck do i begin. first of all, lysha, if ur reading this, i’d die for u even tho u already killed me with this fic. second, what the fuck???? this is so good??? the imagery is exquisite, everything is so soft and hazy and warm, but just be warned that its a tRick. this fics wraps u in like a warm hug and then stabs u 7 times in the back so be prepared :-))) (warning for ambiguous ending)
another hazy may by deLILAh (41k) *
louis is a terrible poet and harry lives in the now and they have six weeks to fall in love but, really, it only takes six seconds. bookshop meets military meets summer romance au ft. marlboros, the backstreet boys, and underrated literary devices.
-i dnot even wanna talk about it. i swear to god the first time i read this i stayed up all night and cried through literally like the last three quarters of it. its so poetic and gorgeous and now every time i think or hear about the literary present i wanna die so thanks for scarring me forever 
like a bastard on the burning sea by vashtaneradas (22k) *
au; harry breaks louis, louis breaks everything.
- listen i know im not supposed to like this but yknow what?? iconic. its absolutely a guilty pleasure and the only cheating fic ill ever give the time of day bc it just hurts so good 
take me to the church (series) by @kingsoftheimpossible (14k/6k/4k)
Harry and Louis are Horsemen of the Apocalypse- War and Conquest- but that’s not really important. They just like to fuck things up.
these r freaky but so so good. theres nothin i love more than boyfriends wreaking havoc on..everything. (the main warnings i’d say are for slight gore/violence and blasphemy. other than that i’d read the tags before you dive in)
if you love me, come clean by @victoryjacket​ (121k) *
AU in which Louis works at a recording studio where Harry’s ‘up and coming’ and ‘exciting’, soon-to-be famous indie band has just signed a deal to record their debut album at, and Louis’ never even heard of them for Christ’s sakes, but that doesn’t stop him from repeatedly catching the eye of the raven-haired, eyeliner-wearing and slightly dangerous-looking frontman (but he’s not interested, he isn’t.)
-everyone read my love’s fic right now. she writes tortured rockstar!harry beautifully and its just so good :-))))) ft. the slowest, sweetest burn 
a runaway american dream by dangerbears (15k)
AU. they take route 66 with only each other and their secrets.
-iconic. plus the whole thing is just hl trying and failing to be just bro pals and platonically share a bed
from the love to the lightning by orphan_account (22k) *
“i didn’t realize it would sometimes be more than whole, that the wholeness was a rather luxurious idea. because it’s the halves that halve you in half.”
 a like crazy au where harry and louis fall in america, but have to try to make it work when problems arise that force louis to stay in london.
-definitely in my top 10. first things first, the line that fucked me up forever: “Three thousand, four hundred and seventy one. There are 3471 miles and an entire ocean between them, but Harry doesn’t even have to get out of bed to find bone-crushing heartache.” AH. i think this might actually be the only long distance au ive ever read and its angsty as fuck but oh so worth it. like literally idek what to say except read this right now (warning for harry/ofc relationship that is pretty detailed, but i grew kinda fond of her? and anyway its mainly just a plot point to emphasize harrys pining for his tru love,,,,yk who) 
we can take the long way home by @eleadore (27k) *
“Fertile,” Louis says, and then laughs because it sounds stupid to say out loud. He hasn’t ever really thought of himself in those terms. Baby-making terms. It’s just one of those things his body can do, like exercise, or go without tea. Doesn’t mean he will.
or, The band takes a break. Harry and Louis come together.
-listen, i REALLY REALLY love this fic. its probably literally my favorite one shot, like, its really just so sweet and hot and its again one of those good ol RFWB tropes. loveeee
red brick heart by hazmesentir (99k) *
Harry has only had his room for thirty-two minutes when it stops being his.
Uni AU. Harry had turned up at the halls of residence expecting fun, new friends, and maybe a life experience or two. What he doesn’t expect is a surprise roommate who’s loud and dramatic and obsessed with tea and is maybe, actually, all he’s ever wanted.
-this is one of the few fandom faves i can get behind. i know its got that early era cliche of commitment phobe!louis but i really love hl’s relationship in this, and how harry comes to terms w his sexuality via making out w louis tomlinson like 500 times. plus the scene in the club where louis, uh, helps harry out just…GETS me, yknow? 
some things take root by navigator/quitter (50k) *
AU. Louis’ ex doesn’t get jealous of anyone besides Harry. Harry helps Louis use that to his advantage.
-pleasepleplalspelplseease. literally navigator can end me. this is THE fake relationship au yall, like, any fanart of hl making out near a bar gives me flashbacks to this fic. read it
keep yourself warm by navigator (20k)
AU. Harry sleeps around.
-this fic is really nice and oddly comforting, like, i just love the pining and the angst. its so !!!! 
with love comes strange currencies by mediaville (16k) *
One day One Direction will be over and Louis won’t be around Harry every waking moment. He’ll be able to finally get some space, let their bond dissipate as it’s bound to do, if they don’t mess up again. He can move to Costa Rica and forget that Harry Styles popped his first knot inside him. Until then, he’s going to have to deal with this.
or, They’re Accidentally Mated and Dealing With It Rather Badly.
-i con ic. listen, i have nothing against abo but im just .. not rly into it. however, THIS is the first abo fic i read and the only one i ever loved. like just the whole accidental mating and how it draws them to each other even tho its quite inconvenient, and how h takes cares of l when hes sick, i just..gotta go 
covered in lines (series) by mentalistecbm (24k)
He likes to imagine that he’s always aware of Harry’s eyes on him, but the spark that flashes across his body at how often Harry licks his lips while looking at his throat doesn’t feel like something he’s explicitly and consciously acknowledged before, but it feels familiar. Usual. Right.
(Louis is human, and Harry is lucky enough to be his vampire boyfriend.)
-noah fence but this is,,,, essentially twilight in au form, minus love triangles and werewolves. actually its completely different lmao, who am i, but the overall atmosphere and the vampire dynamics rly reminded me of it. i mean it in the best way!!! its so good, and anything involving dr*nking has me on the floor
weird honey by orphan_account (5k)
~staying up all night, talking blasphemous ash, weird honey~ 
(PWP where Harry is not 100% at home in his body and he and Louis use a sex toy to help work through the problem)
-this fic is soft and nice and makes me feel warm inside so highly recommend
who painted the moon black by throughthedark (95k) *
“People died,” Harry whispers so quietly Louis strains to hear. “People died, and I killed some of them. How does life just go on after something like that?”
Louis shakes his head. “I don’t know. It just does.”
Hunger Games AU where Louis Tomlinson is district six’s victor from the 69th Hunger Games and Harry Styles is district seven’s victor from the 72nd Hunger Games.
-listen. i do NOT want to talk about it. (ps harry throwing axes on the bbc literally  took me out by the knees bc of this fic)
one more for the stars by imsosorry (16k)
It’s different, and Louis knows that, because Harry’s got so much riding on this - a career and a future and his whole life. There’s talk of him going first overall in the draft, of entering the NFL after only two years in college, of going to New York or Seattle or Green Bay, and Louis wants to be there for him, wants to support him and help him make decisions, but he also kind of wants to pin him to the bed and cry and scream, What about me what about me what about me?
(au. Harry’s the star quarterback and Louis is about to graduate. It’s a heartbreak waiting to happen.)

“What if you practiced on like, a mannequin?” Louis presses. “Or one of those blow up sex dolls? Or even just like, I don’t know, a pillow or something. Whatever it’d fit around.”
Harry tilts his head thoughtfully, curls catching the light so entrancingly that Louis finds himself reaching up to push his fingers through them. “It’s different, though, innit? When it’s a real person. A pillow won’t snog me.”
“Why should it?” says Louis. “You can’t even take its bra off.”

this is an anons larry break up theory and its long so im putting it under a cut jskdkkc
Anonymous said: Hey I saw you were doing timelines so I thought Id send you my take: So I think Larry were v tghtr, (like not the BL fantasy where the only fight was over who loves who The Mostest! I think u can see there were issues - like those larry stylinson triangle vids did catch some early truths imo- but they were truly madly deeply In Love) until TIU promo season. ¼  
2/4 And then I think at TIU promo you can start to see the cracks - I reckon H was being courted heavily by HW from the time the rushes of ‘This Is Harry’ were floating around. Plus I believe Azoff senior has been in the picture for longer than most think and far from being an enemy of OT, prob had a hand in the US mkting since early on. The Kdash connections start very early. But I think they really started their push for Holo, summer 13- and I think Pa*ge was Jefe first set up. I also think H
¾ was cagey as fuck and kept Pa*ge and all the solo offers and meetings 'close too his chest’ and hence Figi and what happened to L after the Haige picture came out. So I think late 2013 was v rocky and then they tried to spend new years tghtr but H spent the whole time networking and still being real evasive about his intentions, so L bailed and they were deadass on a break til April/May 14. Also with band stuff I think there were crisis meetings. They were so tense and off at the Brits
4/4 that it sent the break up rumours into overdrive and then there were those meetings in LA and that nasty Azoff and her #TeamHarry shit stirring. But in the end obv they sorted things. I think from May to Four promo they were more solid than ever but then BS 2.0 and my headcannon is that something happened with Zourry then that just set everything since in train. The change in Harry is from then and idk what it was whether it was Zouis not trusting Azoffs and not wanting to follow their plans
5/yikes!sorry! Or if H felt embarassed by BS2.0 ( I do think he has a v fragile ego)Anyway I think there were plenty of people just waiting on a chance to seperate H from the others and they seized the day. As for everything since Jan 2015 im a big ??? Every theory I come with Im like, but whatabout? All I know for sure is Azoffs are manipulative pieces of shit, H sold his soul for ½ Zs sales and Ls been through hell but still looks healthier than the real dark days of 2014 .
tbh i dont agree with most of this. but it actually is really interesting and like, i dont think they were really broken up at that point like you, but i do think harry started to change at that point. i cant see them being broken up in 2013 purely for the reason that harry would always like, subtly allude to them as a couple, y’know (with the still the one stuff). and the triangle videos i know.. i think about that a lot but i dont think those are like an accurate representation idk, harrys always been like that really (doesnt mean its good!). thinking about it, like, i dont know if i agree, but the azoffs being bts for longer than we know makes sense. especially with his promo now, like, the haige stunt fits, y’know. the kdash ehhh i dont know. but the wanting harry solo in 2013 i absolutely absolutely agree. i dont even think its a question. most of the gp could him wanting to be solo, and he was doing a ton of solo writing and recording in 2013 too like. and then he said they should take a break in late 2014, right? obviously he had to think about that for a while so at least in early-mid 2014. its possible they were on a break idk but i know louis’ behavior was really really bothersome. thats why i think like.. harry changed around this time and louis got pissed i guess. so i guess they did take a break? but if anything i dont think they took a break until like late july-august 2014. but the crisis meetings i AGREE so much. like theres so much unexplained stuff about concerts and during tour and award shows like if hl were tense it literally can only be explained by them being a couple having issues, y’know. i agree with that. obviously i disagree with where you think they were the most solid.. i think thats where they were either broken up or leading to being. bs 2.0 kinda confuses me because i can totally see that causing issues, but then louis got the dagger like two weeks later so??? i think they broke up sometime in december i think. rip. but i do think zayn caused issues with them.. since the very beginning. harrys jealousy, zayn leaving and allegedly wanting to bring louis, etc etc. and yeah the last part about ??? i know. its because everythings behind the scenes and like no one truly knows. it makes me head hurt. thats why i find it easiest to like.. say harry led louis on in 2015.. because personally i can see him doing that because of his ‘new’ personality and like who he is surrounded by. but it also explains a lot imo. and the last sentence i TRULY KNOW. like. louis is much much much better off.. even with all the awful shit thats happened to him lately, hes still not SO stressed, you know what i mean? im happy for him and i just want the best for him. and the azoffs and harry can just have fun dreaming of what they could be i guess.
