a soft place to land

completed | 111k words | small town au | read here

Louis takes a third-grade teaching job in Clover Hill as a favor, mostly because he has nowhere else to go. He lost his job as a sous-chef, and everything else in Chicago fell apart. This Hallmark-channel town feels more like punishment than a fresh start. Louis prepares for the worst ten months of his life.

Until Harry, the art teacher who ribbon laces his sneakers and paints rainbow fences, makes it really easy to get distracted.

I just completed my fic on ao3! check it out if it sounds like something you’d enjoy <3 thank you

hi! sorry this is probably so so annoying to find in your inbox, and i am feeling like a three years old kid right now, but... i did make these in a moment of boredom (thank god for canvas templates and unemployment) and i wanted to share them with people who, like me, love to pair a good fic with a cover

love you always <3 🌸

hi oh my God okk I finally finished sptl!! I really love and hate you right now because I'm crying so bad. Seeing louis let himself be happy makes me emotionallll. I had to restart it after I got halfway through because I needed to highlight and it was so worth it and I finished it in like 6 1/2 hrs. I genuinely have never read something this real and it's hard to explain, but it was so mature and so much in what it was. I have no idea if that makes any sense, but it was the first time I ever had to think really hard about why a character felt what they felt. It was so complex but written in a way that you didn't really have to understand the feeling but be accepting of it. Which makes this so perfect in how they treat each other. Like communication and honesty???? Mind blowing stuff. I could go on for ages of questions and things, but I just have to say immediately that this is such a rare find. I love love the soul you have and I'm so happy that I got a glimpse into ur world !! :DD



OH MY GOSH!!! thank you so much for this thoughtful message. a lot of what you said are exactly what i was hoping to achieve with this fic, and i’m so glad it stuck with you; it means so much. if you ever want to share those highlights with me i’d love to see :)
