therogueskimo’s Fics
Hello everyone! I write under the author name therogueskimo on ao3, and here is a list of the fics I’ve written so far, should any of you want to peruse them. They will be listed in order of what I have most recently published, so all new fics will be added to the top to get further and further away from the early ones I wrote that aren’t very good but I kept up anyway for the sake of showing growth and nostalgia. ✨
All are tagged appropriately on ao3, but if you have additional questions please feel free to find me on Twitter (@/rogueskimo) ✨
Standing On The Edge of Falling
“There’s a bit of a situation in one of the tenting areas, and you two are the perfect people to handle it.”
“Get on with it, then.”
“Some fucker’s brought a whole TV in and is streaming the England/Slovakia game. A whole crowd’s gathered, over a hundred people, at least, and it’s blocking walkways between the tents. I need you two to go shut it down.”
~~~
It’s Harry’s first security gig, and somehow, he landed Glastonbury. Unfortunately, he’s been tasked with telling a very gorgeous man that he can’t stream the football match. Things go … much better than expected.

Nothing’s Greater Than The Rush
Good luck. That’s how whoever had turned him had signed off their little instruction manual, as though this was the most natural thing in the world. As though being a vampire - which Louis didn’t even know existed until he was one - was normal, something that happened every day.
~~~
To survive being turned into a vampire, Louis must feed on the person he loves most. There's just one little problem: that person is his best friend, Harry, and Harry has no idea.

What Was I Made For
“I should have known.”
Harry let out a high pitched noise he didn’t know he was capable of making and slammed the book closed so hard that it echoed around the empty library. Except it was no longer empty. Harry looked up to see Louis, half in shadow, staring at him with an unexplainable mixture of emotions in his eyes. Harry stood immediately, the book falling to the floor.
“Louis … I can explain …”
“I asked just one thing of you, Harry. One fucking thing, and you couldn’t even do that. Too fucking curious for your own good.” Louis’ fists were clenched at his sides. “Go on then.”
Harry paused, confused. “Wh-what?”
Louis’ eyes narrowed. “Go on. Tell me how I don’t belong in this world and I never should have been born.”
“Louis … I don’t want to do any of that. I never wanted to abuse your trust, I just … I knew something was bothering you and then I called Liam and he told me that you were … and I just wanted to understand. (…) If I understood what was causing you this anguish, I could help.”
“No one can help me,” Louis mumbled, a tear spilling over onto his cheek.
“I can, Lou,” Harry said in a soft, gentle voice. “I’m not scared of you. I don’t hate you. I just want to help.”

In The Name of Being Honest
Co-written with @sunflouwerhabit 💛
Back at his desk, Louis closed his eyes for a moment, trying to settle into the reality of this. He was leaving the UK for only the second time in his life. Suddenly, the holiday he took to Spain three summers ago felt like it paled in comparison. He was going to the U.S. - for work, it was true, but still - alone. He’d been all for seizing the moment when his boss had been looking at him with a gaze of steel, but now he felt vaguely nauseous.
Louis took several shaky breaths, feeling like the air was being sucked from the room, and opened the manila folder, laying it flat on his desk. His breath caught as he saw the destination, centered in a large, block font at the very top of the first page:
Robinson Publishing - Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
~~~
After two years of living in an everlasting cycle of work, sleep, and regret, Louis finds himself wandering brand new streets perpetually haunted by the ghosts of his past.

Place In Me
Louis really didn’t like therapy, that much was true. He had become notoriously used to keeping his emotions close to his chest, opening up to no one, keeping up the facade of someone who had their life together, and therapy was a special kind of torture. But he would much rather be sitting in therapy right now than in the studio, waiting for Harry Styles to show up.
The thing was, he could have said no. Louis could have read that text that reignited the band group chat after years of silence and ignored it. He could have just said he would come and then bailed. He could have told Harry to fuck off and blocked him.
But no. He’d fallen into the exact trap that he was sure Harry had set by putting the message in the group chat instead of sending it to them individually. There was no way he could refuse when Niall and Liam had been so enthusiastically on board with the idea.

“He had a partner for a long time, and he says that he was too dependent. He doesn’t want an alpha, at least not right now. But he’s got a pretty severe case of touch deprivation. So it’s … not great.”

“I should be asking you the same question, Styles.”
“Well, in case it wasn’t obvious by my presence here and my bag, I booked this place.”
“Then we have a problem, because so did I.”

“Well, what the fuck are we going to do?”
“I don’t know what to tell you, Lou. We can’t contact him. He’s gone totally off the grid.”
“We’ll figure it out, Louis, don’t you worry."
“I just … I was counting on him. I really did like his style, and it took us months to book him for the first tour. How are we supposed to find someone just as good in the next few days, let alone see trial shots?”

“Hey Siri?”

“Sending text to Harry Styles: Will you ever text me?”
