To Give You a Hand to Hold by gettingaphdinlarry | nr | 26150 When he spoke again, Harry’s voice was low. “Ever think of how many birthdays they don’t get?” Louis avoided Harry’s eyes. “What do you mean?” “Martinez was what, nineteen? Missed a good sixty of them.” Harry took the last of his cake and passed the plate to Louis. “Figure sixty missed birthdays each. Just on our side. How many is that?” Louis used the edge of his fork to scrape frosting off the plate. “Never thought about it.” “What would your shrink say?” “‘Focus on the positive.’” Harry ran a hand over his head and scratched the back of his neck. “How’s that working?” :: Marine Louis Tomlinson is medically discharged when an IED explodes in Afghanistan.

Given a Chance by Fabby | E | 173511 Five years after One Direction took their last tour, the last thing Louis Tomlinson ever expected to happen while on a tea run at the local Piggly Wiggly was to run into his ex-boyfriend and ex-bandmate Harry Styles. The odds of them ever running into each other again had to be super slim, right? Wrong. What happens when you mix ex-boyfriends with a large serving of Small Town America? Will Louis and Harry be able to set aside their differences, or will Louis be able to stay breezy as fuck in the wake of Harry’s arrival?

“Didn’t know we were doing an ugly sweater party this year! Why didn’t anyone tell me?”
