I’m that anon from the other day that was super new to the Larry fandom and appreciated your in-depth posts. Hi! I was wondering if there was any discussion about when/why Harry had his “Things I can” tattoo covered by an eagle? From what I’d read the original seemed to have meaning, so why would he cover it? I’ve read quite a bit about their tattoos and haven’t seen any mention of this. Thanks for your thoughts!

The eagle tattoo was first noticed on 30 December 2015. Harry was at a party in Anguilla.

It turned out that he was with Kendall Jenner.

On New Year’s Day, the infamous yacht photos came out. Paparazzi took photos of Harry with Kendall. Harry’s mother Anne was there. So was Jeff’s little brother Cameron Azoff (all in the family).

Harry was papped signing what most likely was the contract for Full Stop Management.

Kendall, Portia di Rossi, Ellen Degeneres, Jeff, Glenne, and Harry are in the photo (rich cringy people love each other).

In addition, four songs were registered to ASCAP, co-written by Harry, Johnny McDaid and Gary Go (of Snow Patrol), with Harry posted as solo singer.

Since an eagle is a symbol of freedom, I’d say the eagle stands for the launch of Harry’s solo career.

The yacht was staged to promote Harry and Jeff Azoff’s Full Stop Management. It was to show that Jeff had a big client.

The tattoo covered up a part of this serenity prayer, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

The other interesting thing is that the tattoo remains the only one on Harry’s right arm. “Things I Can’t” was covered by the Bible tattoo, and “I can’t change” by the anchor. Harry has gotten tattoos after the eagle, but always on the “Things I Can’t” side. The right arm stays empty.

Yes I received this ask fully last month. My apologies, I am slow. This one is for the Unusual Fic Asks for Authors prompt meme thing! Please enjoy.

Fuckin' Priest. They rip like hell, way louder and crazier than their records, and in the aftermath of the show, his whole body is buzzing. He’s bouncing on the balls of his feet, his ears are ringing, and he’s got Steve fuckin’ Harrington beside him, sweaty and lit up and out of breath from the mosh pit, which. Okay. He’s wanted to climb Steve like a majestic oak tree for longer than he’d like to admit, he’s seen him look good before— how high up the rankings is ‘shirtless and spitting demobat blood’? He pleads the fifth— but it’s a really good look for him.

It’s a risk laying hands on him at all in public, but he’s gotta. He pushes their luck as far as a fraternal arm around his shoulders, feeling his own vest (Steve’s wearing his vest) bunching under his arm as he guides them through the equally sweaty crowd. God, it’s good to touch him. It’s good to feel just a little taste of what it might be like, how he might stake his claim, if Steve really was his.

He lets Steve go long enough to go to the bathroom. While he’s gone he digs some of his take from earlier out of his sock and splurges on merch, getting two shirts for himself and one for Steve, maybe a size smaller than it needs to be, and some pins, and a new patch. Sue him, he’s having a good day.

Steve finds him again, latching onto his shoulder, and doesn’t let go the whole way back to the van. Every single person in the arena drove here today, it would seem; it takes twenty entire minutes to back out of the parking space, and then they're stuck in evil crawling traffic, with every bastard asshole in the parking lot laying on their horn every other breath. Not him, for once. He's in his van with Steve, whose big hopeful eyes have been boring into the side of his head pretty much since he stuck his take in Steve's skivvies half a day ago.

Steve, who's wearing his clothes. Steve, who came out to a show for a band he basically just tolerates because Eddie wanted to go. Steve who kissed him, who kissed him first, who whined so prettily to be touched Eddie wanted to roll him onto his belly and fuck his brains out right there with the door open before that first kiss was even over, is by his side, and he's in no real hurry to go anywhere at all.

Steve (see above) huffs a sigh, and puts his big warm hand on Eddie's thigh. Even painted red in brake lights, he's a goddamn picture, hair somehow still majestic through sweat and humid summer heat. Only long years of repression hold Eddie back from clambering over the gearbox to get at him— yeah, yeah, no hurry to get anywhere, but he meant no hurry to get away from Steve, yes hurry to get away from huge crowds of strangers who might make Steve think twice about letting another guy feel him up.

He probably should let Steve think twice. Maybe three times. Eddie barely ever thinks once, and it has, historically, not gone well. Steve's hand, daringly high up his leg, squeezes him gently.

"Harrington," he says, "you're trouble."

THIIISSSSS. As a very recent fan, the xfactor was so helpful for me to get to know Louis, and now I’m so excited for LT1 and everything to come!

Same here!! I have a friend who’s only into Niall (!!!), but I made her watch the X Factor, and she’s PUMPED for lt1 because of it. This is a gp fan, too, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens because these aren’t one-offs. Roll on!!

Steve is a showgirl! Steve giving a DARE talk while Bucky the teacher lounges in the back!! ALL OF THESE

i know! Steve talking at a professional conference and it looks like Bucky is the least engaged in the group but he has the most insightful questions

(which is basically the original fic plot I realize as I finish typing)
