🏳️⚧️ Hold Me Tight (Or Don’t) by @hellolovers13
Falling in love with Louis is easy enough.
Separating Louis from the singer persona Harry has been a fan of for years, however, is not.
But she's not the only one making assumptions.
🏳️🌈 The Magnificent Ms. Malik: A Brand New Era Starts Here by @fifthnormani
In 2013, 1D records the Best Song Ever music video and Zayn feels different after he puts on his Veronica outfit. He doesn't know what to do with these feelings or what they mean; luckily Niall is there to help and gives Zayn a new word that opens up a world of previously unimagined possibilities.
Ten years later, in 2023, she calls Niall up again to tell him her new name.
🏳️⚧️ Ask Him by @fxckingprincesspark
When Lewis Capaldi gets pressed for information on who he's dating, he admits it... he's been seeing Niall Horan. The only problem? He jokes so much that no one believes him.
🏳️🌈 Inner Crisis by @neondiamond
Louis calls an LGBTQ+ crisis hotline after coming out as asexual to his friends and family doesn’t quite go as well as he’d hoped. Harry answers his call.
🏳️⚧️ you made my heart stop by @itsnothesameasitwas
Don’t you ever feel like your life has been perfectly composed until one day it wasn’t, that everything seemed more than fine but it was not, because sometimes as simple as it might sound or look, it could change your life?
OR a Heartstopper AU, but in HarryandLouis Universe.
🏳️🌈 somewhere in between and not at all by @greeneyesfriedrice with art by @alphalouis
He’s always known that he’s some sort of queer. There’s no doubt about it. When he was younger, he loved the feeling of his sister’s pantyhose on his legs, and loved to play dress up whenever he could. But it never went any further than that, and as he got older, he hid that part from himself. There were more homophobes than not in his school, and he couldn’t risk anything getting out.
While he was hoping that he would become more involved in the gay scene, he wasn’t expecting it to happen so immediately. He’s barely been in NYC for two days, and he’s now surrounded by all different types of men and…others? God, he isn’t even sure what to call them. He really doesn’t know much.
(or, Harry is new to NYC and discovers something about himself, and Louis is there for him. Always.)
🏳️⚧️ Paint A Rainbow Inside My Heart by @cyantific
A story about hiding in plain sight and the journey to revealing your truth, told in six acts.
Or, the five times Harry queer coded with actions, behaviors or clothing and the one time he was too proud to hide anymore.
First off, an apology for the late post, and a big thank you for Jydaria for putting all these links together. Second, a huge shout out to everyone who participated in the last week of AUpril. The prompts were crazy, and the submissions were even crazier. All you artists and writers deserve a huge pat on the back. You guys and gals are all incredibly awesome!
As the final round-up, this marks the end of AUpril. I’d call it a huge success, but I don’t think that would do it actual justice. Everyone went above and beyond, and the fandom is lucky to have you all. Again, thank you!
