[so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed]

Me and @beardyboyzx are thinking of running a 1droyaltyficfest. Writers, would you be interested, and if so, what timeframe would work best for you?

when would you prefer round one of the 1droyaltyficfest to run?

from October '26 - April '27

from April '27 - October '27

other (explained in tags)

Remaining time: 5 days 3 hours

The reason we settled on these two options for now is because we are also planning another round of @zouisfics to run in 2027.

Your Hand Tattoo Inked In My Memory by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28

Pairing: Harry/Louis (Pornstar AU)

Rating: Explicit (5k)

Written for @wordplayfics 10.1

Prompt: retired

Louis nods. “Seriously, I think you’re great. And I’m not trying to make you uncomfortable or anything, but I was wondering if you’ve ever considered starting an Only Fans?”

Harry’s face somehow gets impossibly redder.

“Oh erm, well...” He sputters. “I don’t really do that anymore.”

The flush is spreading down his neck now. “I mean, I do it.” He corrects, face flaming “Just not on camera.”

(Or the one where Louis realizes his new neighbor is a retired porn star who happened to be one of Louis’ all time favorites. He decides to take a risk and make a proposal, that it turns out Harry can’t refuse).

Or will I feel this way the rest of my life?

A sudden, unexpected message from Harry turns his life completely upside down. But maybe, just maybe, it's the beginning of the ending he needs.

Louis at the England x Argentina World Cup semi-finals - 15.07

we could catch a spaceship to the moon (but we'd crash)

by yourdelicatepov | M, 9.5k

“I’m really sorry,” he said again, from a deeper part of his heart. Sorry for making you worry all the time. Sorry I couldn’t be an ordinary boy you could love without fear of losing forever. Sorry that loving me takes everything out of you.

Louis shushed him, again and again, as if he could somehow hear the rows of apologies Harry was making all in his own mind. Maybe he could. They’d done this a billion times before. “You’re okay,” Louis said, maybe in response to Harry’s apology, maybe to reassure Harry. Maybe to remind himself. “You’re alright.”

He pulled them both down, until he was lying back on the bed with Harry on top of him. His arms tightened around Harry’s back, pulling him impossibly closer as if he wanted to swallow Harry whole. Harry wished he could. He was so tired of being.

“I’m so sorry,” he mumbled into Louis’ chest, as he began to drift off.

“We’ll be alright,” Louis whispered. Maybe it was a prayer.

Or, Harry is a vigilante who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and Louis needs him to stop before he kills himself

Below you can find all the fics written for week one of round 10.

feel I belong (here) by we_are_the_same Not many people would’ve expected him to be there the first time he went to a race. And even if they had, people would’ve expected him to be there for the speed, the thrill and the excitement. Maybe the hot guys, if they knew Zain and not Zayn.

But really, Zayn had been there for the cars themselves. For the engineering, the strategy. The calls from the pitwall, tyre management and battery deployment. He’d been there for flow vis and practice sessions, for the data that he wouldn’t get to see because he’d just been the next face in a line up, the next person for the drivers to take photos with that was lucky enough to get a paddock pass.

Still. There’d been a thrill to it all.

But none as big as when he first met Charles Leclerc.

where the spirit meets the bone by babyhoneyhslt When Harry receives a note telling him to come back to the place he swore never to return, he finds himself unable to resist returning.

i. retirement by StarryDay13 In which Louis is a guitarist for a semi-popular, soon-to-break-up rock'n'roll band, Harry is a groupie who always claims to be retired and Zayn is lowkey a jerk. Louis is in love with Harry, Harry has a crush on Zayn and Niall is an aspiring journalist just trying to do his damn job.

- or the Almost Famous (2000) AU literally nobody asked for

National Hottie League by 4ureyesonly28 The words that end the perfect domesticity and routine of Shane's world come on a quiet evening in April, just as he lifts a forkful of brown rice to his mouth.

"I want to retire."

Shane's head snaps up from looking at his dinner to stare at Ilya. Even with their tenth wedding anniversary approaching, Shane still sometimes struggles to tell from Ilya's tone whether he's joking or not. Ilya just looks at him while drinking a sip of water and places the glass back on his coaster, leaving Shane no choice but to reply. "What?"

(i'll) never let you go, my baby by DaddyAlphaLouisBabyOmegaHarry Louis finds that his Little, Harry, has started making a second nest in the nursery, so he gets him plenty of new soft things for it.

Nobody's Watching You Get Away With It by Worldsofdreamers Selected written commentary from the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between England and Spain.

A Farewell Whodunnit by The_Halcyonic_Lachesist Niall has to solve a fake murder mystery as a retirement gift by his colleagues. What happens when things don’t go as planned?

Stage Management by yeah_alright After a serious injury to his back, Harry's doctor had insisted that he retire from his landscaping business, and Louis had insisted that Harry follow his doctor's orders. Six months later, Harry's back has recovered, but he's still grieving the job he'd always loved and the person he'd always been. Louis can't stand seeing him like this anymore, so he decides to try a rather unconventional approach to help him move on.

Or: The five stages of grief, but make it orgasms.

It's A Sign Of The Times by reminiscingintherain It’s Harry’s last ever gig at Wembley Stadium. Time for a bit of self-reflection.

Dreaming up a future by Lalalaartje Liam's been postponing making decisions, making changes, but now it's time to commit.

An Old Dog Can Teach You New Tricks by SuperNoah Appy has spent almost a decade running agility courses with Harry by her side. Every jump, every tunnel, every clean round has been another conversation between dog and handler. Another reminder that they're both at their happiest when they're running together.

But every athlete reaches the finish line eventually.

As Appy settles into retirement, Harry struggles to let go of the life they've shared, while Louis wonders if suggesting getting another dog would help heal the emptiness or only deepen it. When an energetic young rescue Bearded Collie unexpectedly enters their lives, all three of them must learn that welcoming a new beginning doesn't mean leaving the past behind.

A bittersweet story about growing older, learning to let go, and discovering that love is never replaced.

singing, I'm the richest I'll ever be by croisblue Waking up is easy for Harry. As soon as the sun is up, so is he.

Your Hand Tattoo Inked In My Memory by LetTheMusicMoveYou Louis nods. “Seriously, I think you’re great. And I’m not trying to make you uncomfortable or anything, but I was wondering if you’ve ever considered starting an Only Fans?”

Harry’s face somehow gets impossibly redder.

(Or the one where Louis realizes his new neighbor is a retired porn star who happened to be one of Louis’ all time favorites. He decides to take a risk and make a proposal, that it turns out Harry can’t refuse).

Long Lost and Finally Free by homosociallyyours Of course it makes sense for Louis to move to the cozy little retirement village on the outskirts of the town he's lived in for most of his life. He's in his 70s, and it'll allow his daughter and her family to move into the old family home and be closer to him. That doesn't mean he doesn't want to complain about it a little bit.

Then one day a knock on his door brings his childhood best friend back into his life. They've taken different paths over the years, but the timing is perfect for them to walk side by side for a while.

handsome stranger, I'm absolutely smitten by localopa his mum told him never to take candy from a stranger, but louis is an adult, not some gullible kid. mints from strangers don’t count, do they?

He's So Bitter, He's So Sweet | Lalalaartje / @lalalaartje with art by @londonfoginacup Louis/Nick | 39k | 8/8 Chapters

He grabs his trunk, his messenger bag and his backpack and looks around his room one last time before he pulls the door open. He’ll miss the house, his siblings and Josie. But if he wants any chance at happiness, he needs to go. He walks into the hallway as quietly as he can, shuts the door behind him and locks it before walking down the stairs. He has a few hours before his train leaves from Manchester railway station, and hopefully he’ll be out of England before anyone realises he’s gone.<\i> When Louis runs away from the life he's been raised for, ending up in Mullingar is a lucky coincidence. He finds the warmest group of friends that welcome him in their midst, except for that one Omega that he's attracted to from the first second. Unfortunately, Nick has decided to hate him.

@hellsite-hall-of-fame i think this deserves to be here

[twopoppies]

i hope this isn't super weird but i found your blog through a post about ageism in fandom spaces and i think its really, really cool that in your 50s and still engaged with your fandoms and passions. i'm 33 and i have so much anxiety about aging and feeling like every year it gets weirder to still love these things, but i've had the same nerdy interests my whole life. i've struggled with this ever since i turned 25. idk if i'll ever get past the anxiety but seeing people like you helps a lot.

Hi, love. I don’t know if you’ll see this, because I assume you’re not in this fandom, but I’m so glad that post helped you.

Honestly, fandom has been life changing for me in terms of realizing that being passionate about “nerdy/childish/weird” things is part of what makes my life really good. And I think the older you get, the less you actually care about what other people think.

I spent way too many years twisting myself into someone I wasn’t in order to fit in or be liked. I’m more “me” in my 50s than I’ve ever been.

People in their teens, twenties, even thirties, so often have no real concept of how freeing it is to just be who you are. I know I didn’t. I was always trying to be acceptable and palatable for everyone else.

Life is too short. Indulge in your passions and hyper-fixations. Fun isn’t only for young people. And who says “young” ends at twenty-five? My life has gotten exponentially better as I’ve aged.

My AGEISM tag is a fun scroll. And it includes this appropriate meme.

[leah3477sblog]

Reblogging to support the concept of being free and enjoying yourself more when you grow older and indulge in your hobbies.

And to your anon: I became a fangirl in my 40ies (never to late to enjoy good things).

But I think it’s important to acknowledge what @i-need-a-cure wrote in her tags :

we are made to feel weird, uncomfortable because of misogyny and patriarchy.

Finally, fangirling in your 30ies and forward is a form of feminism !
