Day 19/30: the light that you keep burning there by @echo-bleu

Fandom: Silmarillion

Rating: T

Disabled character: Maglor (wheelchair user due to leg injuries)

Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, disability due to violence

Summary:

"Take this to your husband. It might tip the scale.”

Elwing stares at the Silmaril glowing in his hand. “You—”

“They are good for nothing if we’re all dead. The Valar wanted them once. Maybe if we’re willing to negotiate…”

Maedhros stops. The last tendril of the old Oath pulls at his vocal cords, powerless but nonetheless present, as if screaming for his betrayal.

“Take it to Eärendil,” he repeats. “Sail to Valinor. Do what we could not.”

*

The Havens of Sirion burn, and it is not the Sons of Fëanor’s doing.

Maedhros, Maglor and Fingon, in the years between the fall of the Havens and the arrival of the Host of the Valar.

Take Me Home by @sun-tomato / 2433 words

After four years of living together at Uni, the boys have all graduated and it's time to move on.

Moving house sucks. Of course, it doesn’t help that, while the four of them had been trying to divide and pack everything before the deadline this weekend, Louis had spent his time unpacking it again.

Roll the Dice by @allwaswell16 / 3870 words

Louis has been in love with Harry since they were eighteen. It isn't until Harry's thirtieth birthday in Las Vegas that Louis must finally decide to either tell Harry how he feels or let him marry someone else.

all in my mind / 4305 words

louis and harry find out they're expecting, and tell the boys. kind of.

Birthday Princess by kingsofeverything / 4502 words

Harry celebrates his birthday with Blow Jobs (and Slippery Nipples and Sex on the Beach) and drunkenly propositions the bartender in the bathroom.

Bijou by @kingsofeverything / 6051 words 

Being in love with his best friend wouldn't be so awful if Harry didn't have to listen to him constantly complain about how the guys he dates don't measure up.

Opposites Attract by kingsofeverything / 7169 words

Harry has a list of reasons he and Louis shouldn’t date. Maybe they’re more compatible than he thinks.

Be Mine, Little Valentine by kingsofeverything / 7345 words

Louis wants to find someone who'll love all of him. There's just one tiny complication.

Snow Big Deal by kingsofeverything / 8392 words

Louis is a professional snowboarder set to appear in ESPN The Body Issue and Harry is an assistant photographer working for the magazine. They have more in common than they think.

A Small Matter (A Matter of Trust) by kingsofeverything / 18710 words

Harry has a thing for jockstraps and Louis likes to wear them.

What Side Of Love Are You On? by @fallinglikethis / 25000 words

A Because I Said So Au with a bisexual twist.

Take a Hit / 41456 words

Hey, alright, so I like to get concussions from the ground, you like them from sweaty men in tight pants.”

“Do you think you have a concussion?” Harry asks, completely ignoring the part where Louis insulted him. That was not meant to be over looked, thank you very much.

“No.” Louis answers, definitely not pouting because Harry didn't so much as crack an offended smile at his joke. Louis lives for offending people.

A Certain Satisfaction by @eeveelou and @creamcoffeelou / 51659 words

The porn au where Louis is a university student who needs money and runs across an ad that sounds too good to be true.

Flightless Bird by audreyhheart / 150022 words

Louis Tomlinson is a principal dancer with The Royal Ballet. When his rival from ballet school, moody dance prodigy Harry Styles joins the company, old wounds are reopened and old passions reignited. During the company's production of Swan Lake the secret that doomed their love is finally revealed, but will it be too late?

second-hand emotion by @wadey-wilson / 183794 words 

Louis is a twenty-three years old, soon-to-be Columbia University graduate with a loving boyfriend, wonderful friends, two kinds of reputations, and a suit so tight it’s nigh inappropriate. Harry is a twenty-three AWOL.

When you lose all that matters, love becomes an impossible achievement. Ergo, it’s only logical to fall for someone who can never die.
