Atlas At Last by louisandthealien {mature, 83k, 10 chapters, 1970s AU, small town au, ot5 friendship, side ziam, period typical homophobia}

He doesn’t know what he had been expecting out of the road trip itself besides burping contests and too much shitty gas station food with Oli and Stan, but in the brief moment before Harry ambles up his driveway, Louis idly wonders if this is about to become some sort of Gay Coming of Age story.

Maine to California in ten days. In which Zayn’s an open-shirt hippie they meet somewhere in Ohio, Liam’s the pastor’s son running away from home, and Niall’s the number they call on the bathroom wall.

It’s 1978. Harry and Louis are just trying to get to San Fran in time for the Queen concert.

Here In The Afterglow by fondleeds {not rated, 88k, 3 chapters, period typical homophobia, highschool AU, 1970s AU, friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, fluff, angst}

“If you hadn’t noticed, I don’t have many friends,” Louis whispers, the blossom of insecurity in his stomach unfurling and clawing its way into his throat.

Harry is silent for a long time, and then he speaks; a soft, slow uncurl that makes Louis’ stomach shake. “I’ll be your friend.”

1970’s AU. In a tiny town in Idaho, Louis’ life is changed forever by the arrival of a curious stranger.

I Wish I Was Born In The Late 70s

Why?

Because I wish I could have been a teenager in the 80s. It was such a cool time period and I feel like the people from that time and during it were and are more genuine than people now. We are constantly surrounded by screens, we live in the digital age. It changes people. I sometimes feel like now no one is real. Does that make any sense? If you have felt similar talk to me about it.
