As we don’t trust tumblr anymore, all of the leadmeinchains stories have now been saved on an external harddrive. We are not removing the fics, but there is now a backup. Hopefully, you’ll do the same for any fics you might have published!
So far, the only safe place to archive that we have found is Ao3. If we are to publish the fics there, however, they will probably be hidden som you have to be a member to see them.
Hey there! I was just wondering... Do you still write Hurts fiction? Big fan btw :3
Hi there nonny! Thank you for your kind words :*
Truth to be told, I still do write Hurts RPF occasionally, for example for HBAC or just as an RP. I stopped publishing stories on leadmeinchains because its story arch was quite completed. I haven’t continued publishing That Factor partly because of stress and life, but also because I got overly critical with it and I was not satisfied with how the plot turned out. I guess I matured as a writer. If you still want to find out what was planned for that story, send me a message and I’ll give you a concise version of the plot privately.
Last year, I realised that RPF might not be the way to go. I’m only really borrowing Adam’s or Theo’s looks - I wrote for other fandoms which had a lot more to work with when it came to how the characters were established. It’s always fun to write Hurts stuff, but I’m not sure if I’ll publish more as I don’t feel like throwing it out to the abyss and hoping the band won’t find them. It’s a bit too late for that now, tbh. I am not taking down anything, so you can still find me at ao3 and here on tumblr.
But from now on, if you wish to read leadmeinchains fanfics or That Factor, I’m putting them behind a password protection. The password is: AdamAndTheoStopSnooping
I am choosing to do this also in respect for what Adam posted today.
Summary: A snippet of a usual morning at Aurélien's Paris flat.

Word Count: 498
Aurélien tried to brush his hair out of his eyes, but the curls refused to stay in place. It was a lost cause and there was no other option than to take the scissors and try to tame the mop of hair. He had tried different hairstyles over the years, but none had really stuck. His hair just was.
Aurélien considered himself to be lucky as Mathieu planted a sleepy morning kiss on his shoulder, encircling his naked waist. Mathieu was fresh out of the shower, smelling of the expensive soap he refused to change.
‘Morning, still fighting the inevitable?’ Mathieu let go of his partner as he reached for the toothbrush. The domesticity had crept upon them silently but neither of them had resisted. It felt right.
‘You know I always will. Got a big interview today, remember?’ Aurélien regretted not going to the coiffeur earlier this week. Everything was in some upper power’s hands now.
Mathieu hummed as an answer as his mouth of toothpaste. He didn’t have anything on the agenda today except of making sure Aurélien’s day went as smoothly as possible. ‘I’ll be outside the café. Need to do some people watching and sketch. Next year’s collection won’t inspire itself.’
‘You’re just saying that because you love the éclairs in that place.’ Aurélien knew it was Mathieu’s favourite café and had therefore set up the interview there. Mathieu would be there, but only as a background support.
‘Guilty as charged, n’amour.’ The enamoured name was sweet in Aurélien’s ears. He knew Mathieu meant it and it was not simply a pet name chosen at random.
‘We’re acting like an old married couple already. No excitement, no going out on crazy parties. What did you do to me?’ Aurélien crossed his arms. He had been thinking about it for a while. ‘Before I met you my life was one party after another and now you’ve lured me to stay home and I haven’t even gone to a night club for months.’
‘I never told you not to go to parties.’ Mathieu pointed at Aurélien with his toothbrush, the sides of his mouth slathered with foam making him look more harmless than threatening.
‘And I’m happier like this. I like remembering being together with you and not just the haze of alcohol mixed with adrenaline. But we could go out tonight? Just for the fun of it and leave when we want to’ Aurélien suggested. He could find any bigger party in Paris in a moment’s notice just by asking around.
‘Anything you want. Just make sure I’m properly dressed and not too old.’ Mathieu joked. Their age difference really didn’t matter.
‘Well I can’t just go around and show I’m dating a grandpa now can I? I’ll make you representable. Don’t worry your fashionista head about that.’ Aurélien gave Mathieu a short peck before leaving him alone in front of the mirror as he went to find some clothes to wear for the interview.
This is something I've been looking forwards to :D Were finally RPing the wedding, and after all decided to move the wedding from England to... California! We found the perfect place, thanks to googleing "California Beach Wedding Venues". Yep, that's what's going on. Link to the place we ended up choosing, because it reminded Lassie of the second "Wonderful Life" video.
And yes, Danny the Dog will make an appearance later on. He needs to be adopted first ;)
If you're ever in the mood for Theo and Adam dressed in extra smart/special clothes, check my Mathieu Therasse tag. It's made up of photos where Hurts could be posing for Therasse. (Mathieu Therasse is a fashion designer OC from the leadmeinchains blog)
The sheer amount of headcanons born this night during the live stream is mental.
-Adam being nervous about this being his last gig before coming out
-Theo trying to distract Adam with flaunting his booty and doing the snakehips
-Adam resorting to his old "friends" (AN; check One Last Time) after a long pause because of how nervous he is
-Theo subconsciously submitting on stage
-"Somebody to shave for"
-"Cover up the gay"
-Theo's jacket being an original Mathieu Therasse
