•••
“Are you going to propose soon?” Was the last question Harry expected to be uttered out of Y/N’s bright pink lips.
It was just another Sunday night, the couple trying to enjoy those last fleeting moments of weekend relaxation before Monday arrived with the usual burden and obligations of being working adults.
In little less than 12 hours, Y/N would be back to her 9-5 job being an assistant to a high-class executive of a finance company. Her boss had too much authority for being so irresponsible and more money than anyone would need in a lifetime. What a luxury it must be to have your dad pass down a company you didn’t know how to run down to you.
Her boss wasn’t a horrible person, he was quite respectful and kind when asking her to do tasks, he was just a very exploitative executive. He had learned from his father to be unbending and demanding.
Y/N’s work paid a good wage, enough for her to pay her bills and still have a bit left. She wasn’t one to buy luxuries, though, preferring to save money up so she could one day quit her 9-5. And then dedicate herself to the things she did every day after work: picked up her red electric guitar, adorned a black skirt that bordered on too short, and perform for (currently small) crowds of people who cheered her band on as they played.
There wasn’t anything Y/N loved quite as much as the rush of being on stage, the bass making the stage shake with each loud thrum, sticks clashing with plates of a drum and the velvet voice of an angel, Harry singing through the microphone and his eyes on her and her fingers moving over the fret of the guitar.
They played small clubs and rundown bars, getting payed a poor wage for the extrenous effort used to get four adults with full time jobs to align their schedules in order to rehearse. Sometimes all they got were free drinks, but they took what they could get and did it for the love of it.
That was how they got here, on Harry’s couch, his arm draped around her shoulders, and her head on his chest. They were watching Bluey, the way they did most nights they spent together. He would always roll his eyes when Y/N suggested it, pretending to hate it, but she knew it was his favorite show, and he always cried at the emotional episodes.
Their instruments lay forgotten on the table, his blue guitar next to her red one, as they’d spent most of the afternoon drinking beer and writing a new song.
It was a question that had been lingering in the back of Y/N’s mind, and she wasn’t quite sure why she chose that moment to blurt it out, but she did. “Are you going to propose soon?”
Harry’s gaze turned to her, eyebrows raised in light surprise, a small breath exhaled between his lips in a faint chuckle. “What?”
It was too late to take it back, so Y/N sat up and told him, “You’ve always talked about wanting to settle down and get married.” His features remained in small confusion. “We’ve been together for a while. Are you going to marry me?”
“Well, of course I’m going to marry you,” Harry said, like it were some scientific fact that everyone knew and was unchangeable. “You’re my forever, baby. I’ve written about a hundred songs about it.” His lips turned up in a smile. That smile he wore every time he told her he loved her, with a cocky and smug edge as if he were teasing her, laced with affection.
“I don’t mean we have to get married this instant, but I just, I guess we’ve never talked about if we were getting engaged or when and I-“
“Baby,” Harry cut off her nervous rambling, chuckling. He kissed her, soft lips with cracked edges from the cold and dry weather. “I already know what ring I’m going to buy. I’m just saving up for it.”
Y/N’s mind blanked for a moment. “You’re already thinking about rings?” Her lips parted in surprise.
Harry rolled his eyes. “Yes, silly girl. You’re not the only one thinking about marriage.” He smiled at her, reassuring her that he was just teasing. “In case you haven’t noticed yet, I’m hopelessly in love with you.”
“Oh,” Y/N said, still in shock. Here she was, getting all nervous and insecure about marriage and he had already been planning to propose. Her question now seemed a bit foolish. She looked up at him and said, “You know I don’t need some needlessly expensive ring, right? You could buy it on Aliexpress and I couldn’t care less.”
Harry looked at her with slight amusement. “Are you serious?”
“Yeah,” Y/N said with a small nod. “It’s stupid to spend money on a ring when it doesn’t make much of a difference.”
Harry sighed. “Baby, it’s not about the ring being expensive. It’s about the ring being a symbol for my devotion to you. And I want my devotion to be apparent in the beauty of it.” He tapped the finger on her left hand where the ring would lay. “No, I don’t have to spend money on an expensive ring. That’s why I’m not just getting a huge diamond. I’m getting something you’ll love.”
“But it’s expensive and it’s a waste of money on a simple ring-“
“Is it just a ring? Or is it a symbol of matrimony, of us being together forever?” Harry said gently, correcting her statement. “Not to mention you’re going to be wearing that ring every day ‘till you die.”
Y/N made a sound of contradiction. “Unless we get a divorce.”
Harry stared at her blankly for a few moments. He deadpanned, “Not funny.”
“Kinda funny,” Y/N said with a small smile.
She waited for Harry’s stern gaze to soften with adoration the way it always did. It only took a few moments for his composure to crumble and he leaned in close to her. His nose grazed against hers as he muttered quietly, “You’re going to be the death of me.”
The way he said it sounded like a declaration of love. Everything he said to her did. Because his love could never be called in to doubt. It shone through every word he uttered, every song he wrote, every thing he did.
His lips locked onto hers once again, the tension in his muscles melting away as if all he needed to feel complete was to be pressed against her. To have every inch of skin surrounding her, the taste of beer still on her tongue, and the scent of spring enveloping his senses.
“I’m going to marry you,” Harry uttered, an oath murmured against her lips before placing a hand on the back of her neck, pulling her close once again.

Guys, I just saw a clip from a mixed version of I Can Teach You where Grace sings "Freddie I need you to stay" and this was Pan and Freddie's response
Tumblr media
Like, yeah, in Lost Girls he assumes they're dating, but THIS ? This is peak comedy. It is absolutely like that Freddie and you know it and you want it and you know that you want it you useless lesbian (or disaster bi honestly I can see her going both ways)

TOP 9: MAYZUKE 🎼💞
Tumblr media
Thou I've technically known about NSR for a couple years already, it wasn't until last year that I finally got to meet and like these characters properly. NSR charmed me completely and a lot of that is thanks to Mayday and Zuke. They are great individually, but together they are BEYOND amazing. If there is another trope that I like even more than childhood friends, that would absolutely be: opposites attract (and you will probably notice it in this list 👀). There are many variations and degrees to this trope and I think that Mayzuke proves perfectly how this kind of dynamics can work. I would like to do some more pieces for these two, but in the meantime, they have a well deserved place in this top!! 😊😊😊

I Still Burn, Part 3 [Son of Bat]
Prev | Masterpost | Next
———————————————————————
“Yeah, I believe in it / Bleed for it / Sacrifice it all for it”
CW: mention of medication, lil bit of self-loathing as usual, potential victim blaming
———————————————————————
Despite the migraines that stabbed behind his eyes, James was desperate to busy himself with something. He’d amassed a pile of books by the couch, trying and failing to read and work on his dissertation. Of course, he’d taken a leave of absence from class, but he was sure he could return soon, and he had to catch up.
He mumbled under his breath as he skimmed a passage in his psychology textbook. He’d never been a person who needed to read aloud to understand, but apparently that had changed after his head injury. A line towards the bottom of the page tripped him up, and he found himself reading it again and again to parse the meaning. Each pass seemed to be more and more jumbled; after the fifth try, he became furious.
With a vicious hurl, he pelted the book at the wall, missing his intended target of the window. His entire chest and arm screamed in pain, a wail of anguish pressing out of his diaphragm and echoing in the room. Molly and Eddie, both startled by the sound, ran to investigate.
“Are you okay? What happened?” Molly rushed to where he was grasping his shoulder, helping him hold his elbow in place.
“Nothing,” he hissed through gritted teeth. “I’m fine.” Even so, he panted heavily through his nose, doing his best to ignore the pain and let it pass.
Molly glared at him and laughed sarcastically. “Ha-ha, yeah, sure. Then why did you yell just now? And why are you holding your shoulder, smart guy?”
Eddie picked up the thick textbook from the floor. “Maybe it has something to do with this.”
“Ah, right—a textbook chucked ten feet away from you, not suspicious at all.” She lets go of James and turns to search the room. “Where are your pain meds?”
“I don’t”—James grunts, leaning back against the couch—“need any.”
She found the bottle, hidden under a stack of papers from the hospital. It was much fuller than it should have been. “Have you been skipping doses?”
Unable to look her in the eye, he set his jaw and kept his eyes low. “They make me too tired. I can’t get anything done.”
For the first time in their long friendship, Molly seemed genuinely angry. Her face flushed, and her voice rasped as she shouted, “Then fucking be tired! What the hell, James?! You’re supposed to be resting and taking things easy!” She paced in a tight line in front of him, her nostrils flaring as she tried to reign in her temper. “This—this! This stupid mentality! This is what got you in this mess to begin with!”
He knew she was right. When wasn’t she? And, truthfully, a part of him was grateful that someone had finally acknowledged what he’d been thinking since he first woke up: in some way or another, this was his fault. He hadn’t taken care of himself. He’d worked himself to the bone and forgone sleep for far too long. Something like this was bound to happen eventually. And yet . . . it still hurt to hear. Molly had been so kind, so patient, so gentle with him throughout his time in the hospital and dealing with the fallout. He couldn’t help but wonder if she’d just been bottling up and sitting on this anger the whole time.
She interrupted his spiraling thoughts. “I love you, J. I don’t want to see you in pain. I’m not trying to blame you for what happened. But just . . . don’t be fucking stupid. Eddie’s gonna go get you a drink, and you’re gonna take your medicine. And I’m gonna check behind you and make sure you’re taking them—on time, as scheduled—until I can trust you again. And if you give me shit, I have no problem turning these pills into suppositories.”
Eddie returned with a Gatorade, and Molly gave James the pill. He took it without complaint, opening his mouth afterwards to prove he hadn’t hidden it. Molly patted his head and smirked.
“Good boy.”
His ears grew red at the comment, and he lamented that they were no longer covered by his hair. Everything was easier when he could hide behind his hair.
But as the medicine finally hit his system, he realized just how bad he’d let things get. The squeezing at his temples loosened, and he could take a deeper breath without his ribs screaming in protest. Even his sore shoulder dulled to a vague ache. It was as if a volume knob had been turned down over his whole body—not silent, not even necessarily quiet, but so much less ear-splitting than before. He could step down off the edge of the knife he didn’t even know he’d been standing on.
And, yeah, he was tired.
Molly half-smirked at his drooping eyelids. “Better, right?”
“Ah, fuck off,” he mumbled with a snort, sliding his injured legs up onto the sofa to lay down.
“Shh, it’s nap time.” She piled the blankets on top of him, loosely tucking them around his giant form. “I know it’s boring being stuck here and doing nothing, but seriously. Can you just be chill for a little bit?”
He grumbled from behind the blanket. “Fine. But I’m gonna complain.”
“I’d expect nothing less.”

Summary: in which Y/N makes mistakes and Harry remind her she’s only human
Author’s Note: just needed some emotional Y/N with sweetheart Harry. remember to like and reblog because i crave validation. love ya <3
Word Count: 1.3k
•••
“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” Y/N cursed, pushing past the mess of wires and equipment backstage and pushing through the door of the emergency exit. The door swung open, slamming against the brick wall before clicking shut again.
Kicking at a small rock in the gravel, Y/N tried to release her fury. A choked sob escaped her raw throat, the burning reminding her of the fatal mistake she’d made that night.
Ambition had been her downfall. She’d let herself be overly confident in her abilities and had reached too high, her wings scorched by the sun.
Y/N fell to the ground. She didn’t bother to sit down gently, simply just letting her knees give out beneath her. She curled her knees up to her chest, hugging them and linking her hands together.
The hem of her skirt rode up, reaching her upper thigh. Usually, she might tug it down, but she was a bit too busy crying to even think about something so trivial like her skirt.
A pair of hands settled on her shoulders. Y/N was startled at the sudden touch. She could’ve sworn she was alone.
Eyeliner and makeup smudged from crying, Y/N looked up to find that Harry was crouched in front of her, his gaze soft and warm. She quickly tried to wipe her tears away, but he caught her wrists and pulled them down to her sides.
Harry’s voice was soft, barely a whisper, “Baby. It’s okay.” He was handling her like shattered glass, doing his best to not slit his hand while picking up the sharp fragments. “I’m here.”
Y/N didn’t like for people to see her cry. Not only was she an ugly crier, but she hated when people saw her so vulnerable. It felt wrong. And she didn’t cry often anyways. But when she did, it was messy and wild.
“I screwed up,” Y/N whispered, hating how her voice broke when she was barely audible. A pool of shame gathered in her stomach, weighing her down and suffocating her.
Harry sat down next to her, his arm wrapping around her shoulder. He leaned forward to meet her eyes. “Yeah. You did. And?”
“And?” She said, her voice raising a bit. “And I humiliated myself. I was so fucking bad.”
“You were nervous and you made a mistake,” Harry said steadily, his voice never raising. “It happens to the best of us.”
“I shouldn’t have taken that solo,” Y/N said with the shake of her head, another tear spilling against her will.
They had decided to perform their new song, ‘Set A Love Alight’. Y/N and Harry had written it just three weeks ago, and they decided to play it at this gig they’d booked at the bar they regularly played at, 17 Black.
After a long time of reluctance and hesitation, Y/N had decided to do the song as a solo. Up until now, Harry was always the one singing. Occasionally, Sarah or Mitch would sing a verse or two, but for the most part, Harry was the vocal powerhouse. Everyone liked it that way, everyone felt comfortable.
And Y/N had never dared to sing anything except backing vocals. And for the last few months, Harry had been trying to convince her to sing at least one verse of a song. He’d hyped her up, encouraging her to do so and telling her how amazing her voice was about a million times.
After a long time of pleading, Harry’d gotten what he wanted and more. Y/N took on the burden of an entire song. And tonight was not only the debut of the new song, but also of her voice.
Weeks of rehearsals had fallen down the drain when Y/N started singing and her voice came out shaky with nerves. Her hands were shaking and she didn’t hit the right chords on the guitar. And her lungs started constricting, making it hard for her to complete the lines without gasping for air. And all of this combined into the messiest performance the band had ever performed.
At the end of the song, Y/N was holding back tears and the small amount of people paying attention to the band clapped politely, but she heard the whispers of judgement. And when she turned to look at the band, the three of them were looking at her with pity in their eyes.
That was how she’d rushed off stage, thrusting her guitar into the hands of someone she passed by, possibly even a bystander just walking by. She didn’t even look at their face before walking out in tears.
“Love, you’re a good singer,” Harry said with a small sigh, caressing her cheek with his thumb. Her eyes fluttered shut. “You got nervous. It happens to everyone. You just have to learn how to control those nerves, that’s all.”
Y/N took a shaky breath, holding back a sob. “I made everyone look bad.”
Harry let out a small laugh. Y/N opened her eyes to glare at him. He rushed to say, “Baby, I wasn’t making fun of you, I swear. I just… I’ve made countless mistakes on stage. My voice has cracked, I’ve missed high notes, I’ve mixed up verses, I’ve sung off-key. But my mistakes don’t take away from my talent.” He pulled her forward to hug her. “Not to toot my own horn, but I’m a good singer. Because I was persistent and a hard worker. I didn’t give up even when I had moments where I sounded like shit and thought I had humiliated myself to a degree no other human being ever had.”
Y/N took a deep breath. “I don’t know how you do it.”
“Which part?” Harry asked, curiously. He was ever as bright as always, but so soft and gentle. He was a sweetheart above anything else.
“Getting on stage and giving an amazing as fuck performance each time,” Y/N said. She shook her head. “You’re amazing, H.”
Harry shrugged. “It’s what I know how to do. I’ve done it my entire life. The same way you always play the guitar ‘amazing as fuck’.” He scrunched his nose up at her as he mocked her words. She let out a small chuckle. He smiled, pleased at himself. He always pulled a smile out of her. “It takes time and experience. I promise next time you get on stage to sing you’ll be better. Not perfect, just better. And someday, you won’t even remember tonight as anything more than just another story to tell and laugh at.”
Y/N pursed her lips, silent for a moment in thought. He was right. He always was.
Somehow, Harry always managed to make the tears seem like just another silly hurdle to jump over. The world seemed so much easier to face when he spoke about it so simply.
And with Harry holding her in his arms, who wouldn’t be ready to take on anything the universe threw her way?
Harry let out a small sigh, running his fingers through her hair. “You’ll be okay, love.” He pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
Harry always took care of her with love. Not as if she were fractured sharp glass, but as if she were a bouquet of flowers you settled into a vase with care as to not let a single petal drop.
And Y/N wished she were as sweet as him. She wished she could be as good and pure as he was, to give him the affection he needed. The care he gave her was the kind he should be receiving.
“I love you,” Y/N whispered, starting off with something small to remind him of her love.
Harry smiled, as if she’d made some grand declaration of love and hung a star in the night sky for him. “I love you too.”

Connection with Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” with 5SOS “Caramel”, bandmate relationships
May 19, 2023
Ashton links a reel to his ig story to a video of a lady talking about playing the song “Landslide” by Fleetwood Mac.
A little while ago I noticed that there’s an homage in “Caramel” to the song “Landslide”. The guitar picking pattern is reminiscent of “Landslide”.
Stevie Nicks has said the song is about her relationship with fellow bandmate Lindsay Buckingham.
Tumblr media
Link to ig reel
Listen to the guitar style and picking pattern of “Landslide”.
Now listen to “Caramel”. Pay attention to the guitar part. Then at the end of the song Ashton’s lyric line is blatantly “Love like a LANDSLIDE, I kiss you Goodnight”.
Luke and Ashton are so loud. All it takes is for people to fully pay attention to them.
