Roz: I just found out from Solaris today that when Juniper died and the service did the 21-gun salute at their funeral, Fabby said, “They should aim at the coffin to be sure.”
Juniper: Time sensitive question how flirt boy.
Fabby: Throw rocks at he.
Solaris: Hot Dogs.
Roz: Kill him.
Juniper: Thanks guys.
Solaris: We can bake these cookies at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or 4,000 degrees for 1 minute.
Roz: No, that's not how you make cookies.
Juniper: FLOOR IT!!
Solaris: How about 4,000,000 degrees for 1 second?!?
Roz: yOU'RE GONNA BURN THE HOUSE DOWN-
Solaris: I'M GONNA HARNESS THE POWER OF THE FUCKING SUN TO MAKE COOKIES!
Fabby: DO IT!
Roz: NO-
Solaris: Question, how difficult would it be to bowl in a bee suit?
Roz: Not that hard, I don't think, as long as you can move.
Juniper: I'd assume as hard as it is to bowl in a maid outfit.
Juniper: Wouldn't be any harder, but you'd get some WEIRD looks.
Fabby: Are. Are you speaking from experience.
Juniper: No!
Juniper:
Juniper: ....Maybe.
Roz: What is love?
Juniper: An emotional minefield.
Fabby: A neurochemical reaction.
Solaris: Baby don't hurt me.
Juniper: *tapping fingers on table*
Fabby: *taps fingers back furiously*
Solaris: …What’s going on?
Roz: Morse code. They’re talking.
Juniper: -.-- ..- .-. / - …. . / -.-. ..- - . … -
Fabby: *slams hands on table* YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
Juniper: You know guys, sometimes I feel like Roz doesn't take me seriously enough.
Fabby: "Sometimes"?
Solaris: "Enough"?
Juniper:
Solaris: Change that to 'at all' and we'll talk.
Juniper, watching Fabby and Solaris fight: Are you sure they should be fighting? What if they get hurt?
Roz, not bothered by the chaos: It’s fine. They’re too evenly matched to hurt each other.
Juniper: Then... who’s the strongest out of you three?
Fabby: Roz.
Solaris: Roz.
Roz: Me.
Juniper: Isn’t it weird how we pay money to see other people?
Solaris: You mean movies?
Roz: Concerts?
Fabby: Prostitutes?
Juniper: Wha…N-no, I mean glasses, what the fuck-
Roz: Think you can unlock the door for us?
Fabby: Sure, I just need a couple of things. Juniper, can I have your credit card?
Juniper: Sure, just make sure not to bend it.
Fabby: Thanks. Now Solaris, break down the door!
Juniper: Huh!?!
Fabby: What the hell was that?
Solaris: *picks up a flashlight* Only one way to find out!
Juniper: Wait a minute! You don’t go TOWARDS the spooky scary banging!
Roz: Yes we do, Juniper. We always do.
Fabby, pointing to the wall: What color is this?
Roz: Gray.
Solaris: Grey.
Fabby, turning to Juniper: Now tell them what color you think it is.
Juniper: Dark white.
*The squad is playing a team sport*
Solaris: Are you upset you don’t get to be on the same team as Fabby?
Roz: Have you ever played a game with Fabby?
Solaris: No…
Roz: Have you ever been trapped in a cage with a wolverine?
*Meanwhile, on the other side of the field*
Fabby, chasing Juniper: I SAID FASTER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD “FASTER” MEANS? IT MEANS MORE FAST!!!!
Fabby: A stake to the heart won't kill a vampire if their tits are big enough.
Solaris: Yeah, you just catch it.
Roz: Nah nah nah, deflects it. Stake? Just bounces right off. Done. Back to doing hot girl shit.
Juniper: Then I just use a spear instead.
Fabby: You are trying so hard to kill a vampire with big bazongas, and for what? Why would you do that to the ecosystem?
Roz: I told Solaris to grab snacks for everyone.
Fabby, looking through the options: Why did you grab fruit snacks? Are you five? Who even likes Fruit Snacks?

✤ Canon Exes to Lovers
the breaking of your soul (upon my lips) by becauselarry
The one in which One Direction in 2015 still includes Zayn, and nothing has been right between Harry and Louis for a long time now. Louis is certain that the situation he finds himself in won't change anything at all - he doesn't want it to, if he is honest with himself, as he doesn't want this situation to be a situation in the first place.
It Goes, It's Golden by auburnstargazer
The chaos Zayn left in his wake wouldn't feel so disastrous if Harry had Louis. But everything between them crashed and burned a long time ago. All Harry is left with is a hopeless longing and a fear that the band's current disarray will set in for good.
... And then he finds himself stuck on a sixteen hour plane trip with Louis Tomlinson.
This could either be the most awkward flight of Harry's life, or the beginning of an atonement he's been dreaming of since 2013.
Canon Compliant AU in which Harry and Louis broke under the strain of it all and now, years on, there's a chance to put all the pieces back together. Set in early April 2015 all the way through to October. Written in Harry and Louis' perspectives, alternating every chapter.
Given a Chance by Fabby
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?
(or, the one where Louis and Harry run into each other five years after One Direction ends and learn how to love each other again. Featuring: Reggie as the overweight labrador, Niall as Louis’ last grip on reality, and Nowheresville, North Carolina as the setting for Louis’ worst nightmare to come true.)

Harry is sitting there, so fucking casual, and Louis realizes in a split second he was not ready. When Harry walked out in Detroit and never looked back, he was a boy verging on a man, still only twenty years old, but there's a man in his place now. Hard and resolute, yes, but still, for the first time in a long time, Louis can kind of see the old Harry in him. The soft, directness of his gaze, the hesitant smile he gives to Lou, the way he wrings his ridiculously large hands in his lap.
He's a little bit the eager sixteen year old puppy dog again, his innocence and sweetness resurrected miraculously, and Louis freezes in place. He was prepared to face the asshole Harry. He was prepared to meet a whole new Harry.
Louis is not prepared to meet one of the old incarnations of Harry, and it absolutely tears him up.
Or the fic where Harry spirals out of control, the band breaks up, and then he shows back up, five years later.

“Fireworks,” is all he says before he’s scrambling for a pair of shoes in the bunks and stumbling out the door.
Also known as: incredibly self-indulgent Fourth of July tour fic.
Rockets’ Red Glare by armadillosunset | nr | 1776
Harry Styles hates fireworks. It is known.
But Louis always comes through for his baby, even if he doesn’t know he needs it.

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. Months later, he's reunited Stateside with his Navy medic Harry Styles. The two of them shelter each other even as they refuse to admit they're in the throes of PTSD, until one night nearly destroys them.

“You know I can see you looking at him, right?” Lottie says pointedly, right in Harry’s ear so Louis can’t hear them; although it’s not like Louis is paying attention anyways, Tommy is there and they’re talking about something entirely different now. Harry gives Lottie a funny look, even though he knows exactly what she’s talking about.
“Even after all this time, huh?” she asks.
Harry shrugs. “I dunno. It’s probably just a nostalgia thing.”
-
Or: Harry and Louis haven't spoken in eight years. Harry finds himself unable to free himself from Louis' captivating pull. It's definitely not just a nostalgia thing.
Say Something by kingsofeverything | E | 105497
At fifty years old and recently divorced, Omega Harry Styles isn't interested in dating. When his doctor suggests a heat and rut matching service, he signs up out of necessity. It’s the only use he has for an Alpha in his life.
Twenty-eight-year-old Alpha Louis Tomlinson aims to change that.
