Letters For Edward by Sam White 

My dearest Edward, 

 I would like to start the letter with an apology. I have no doubt in my mind that right now, at this moment you are sat in front of the Comédie-Française, your face hidden away under that rueful hat of yours, awaiting my presence. I can also see the disbelief and hurt smattering over your face when you realized that I am not to be present tonight.

 If you’d ask me how I felt at this very moment, I would not be able to answer you. I feel numb, Edward. Everything around me feels numb.

 It is humorous how the world finds the purest word sinister when it is uttered for the wrong person. It is humorous how something so pure becomes a sin when it’s directed in a different way. It is humorous how something so pure becomes a sin when it’s directed in a different way.

 I never meant for it to happen, Edward. I never wanted to become sinister. Never meant to become an object of shame to my family. And mostly, I never meant to fall in love with you.

—————————

William has written 21 letters to Edward. Harry doesn’t realize what he himself has to do with all of it.

She imagines Louis stepping towards her slowly, treading lightly with her fingers on her cheek, where Harry’s dimple may appear, and whether Harry would like it if Louis’ thin lips found hers. With her eyes closed, she imagines Louis standing very close, and she finds the wait to be agonizing, but when she goes to close the distance, there’s no one besides herself in her bedroom. Harry lets out a breath she hadn’t even realized she’d been holding. She feels tingly, and hot, and absolutely terrified, but the next time she looks in the mirror, she sees someone she knows intimately. She sees that girl with bright green eyes, and unruly hair, and parted lips, and she loses her breath a moment, because while she knows that girl inside and out, she hasn’t been honest with herself until… well, now. “I might be gay.” A Girl Direction AU where Louis holds universes inside her, and Harry just wants to hold her. “And you know, I thought I was in love with him before, but that was really nothing.

“Hiya there. Harry, right?” It’s a bit high and airy, raspy around the edges. Something familiar and soft, something from a fever dream. Gentle sandpaper. And when Harry turns around, breath caught in his throat because this can’t be happening, he half-expects the sight, mind already whirring. Still, he isn’t prepared to dive back again into the two forget-me-nots that are waiting for him.

Harry is bad at first impressions; luckily, Louis perseveres.

Over the objections of their friends, who know the truth, Harry accepts. Can Louis survive Harry moving into his home…and closer to his heart? Will Harry see what’s right in front of him?

He went to the turntable, a gift of his sister Gemma, and put Tchaikovsky’s vinyl. The record started playing rather loudly, spinning on the machine, just as Harry was now on his living room. Louis obveserved every movement carefully. Harry’s curls bounced with each movement he made. He was dancing clumsily, not following any pattern or rhythm whatsoever. But Louis didn’t care about that. Not that he was a judge or dance professional to do so. All that mattered to him was the person dancing in front of him.

“Come on, Lou” Harry extended his hand for him to take.

Louis took it without hesitation, joining him on the ‘dance floor’ that Harry had improvised. They slow danced, with their bodies intertwined, and moving along to the embrace of the music. Harry wrapped his strong wide arms around Louis, and he placed his arms resting on his hips. Those hips that drove Louis mad.

He was a mess around Harry. He made him feel like the world around them stop.

The tall one leaned his forehead against Louis’. Those emerald eyes shining back at him. Staring exclusively at him. Did he deserve such priviledge?

“Lou…” he whispered in a confidential tone. “You are my favorite person in the entire world”

Or the one where Harry wants to be a bird and Louis becomes his caretaker, in a non-conventional way

And sings the tune without the word,

And never stops at all”

Grief is Mine

by love_someone_special

His silver wings glinted in the moonlight as though the moon shared his grief, his protective haze slipping away as his small body shook with a pain and sadness he had not yet become accustomed too. He would grow to know it though, would learn to bear this grief like it was his own identity, and, with time, it would be his identity. For an angel of death cannot long remain anything other than itself.

Harry is an angel of death, and Louis is a boy who was not prepared.

I’m like a bird on a wire, you’re the shinning distraction that makes me fly home by ibelieveinloveandangels

He went to the turntable, a gift of his sister Gemma, and put Tchaikovsky’s vinyl. The record started playing rather loudly, spinning on the machine, just as Harry was now on his living room. Louis observed every movement carefully. Harry’s curls bounce with each movement he made. He was dancing clumsily, not following any pattern of rhythm whatsoever. But Louis didn’t care about that. All that mattered to him was the person dancing in front of him.

They slow danced on the living room, with their bodies moving as one. Intertwined for eternity.

He was mess around Harry. He made him feel like the world around them stop.

The tall one leaned his forehead against Louis’. Those emerald eyes shining back at him. Staring exclusively at him. Did he deserve such priviledge?

“Lou…” he whispered in a confidential tone. “You are my favorite person in the entire world"

Or the one where Harry wants to be a bird and Louis becomes his caretaker, on a non-conventional way.

Break Down the Chains and Run for the Wind by enigma_scars

Harry has special powers that allow him to look at peoples auras.

Louis is a troubled superstar.

Harry is also a cabbie, a grocery-store worker, and a student.

While, Louis suffers from his pasts demons.

Harry sees more than just an aura around Louis, and Louis is more than just a troubled actor.

Louis falls in love too quickly.

Harry sends him on his way to fight for his own good.

A journey of love, hate, trauma, and heartbreak.

Harry’s Journal to self-discovery

Moving away from home is always difficult, especially when you come from a small city like Holmes Chapel and chooses to study English in London.

It proves to be even more difficult to Harry when she doesn’t feel like she fits nowhere but sitting on a park bench, watching The Girl move around like she’s the most fascinating being on the planet.

And to Harry, she kind of is. Too bad she doesn’t know why.
