＊ In Alleyways and Fire-escapes by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison [M, 25k, Louis/Harry]
“Shut the fuck up, Zayn,” Louis mutters, not having the energy to even speak louder.
“I’m just saying, you should’ve heard him out. He probably had a good reason to act like that–”
Louis raises his head from the cushion to glare at Zayn. “Are you seriously taking his side right now? When he literally tried to accuse you?”
“I’m not siding with him, Louis,” Zayn says calmly. “I’m just saying that no normal person acts like that unless he’s either gone mad or really scared.”
“Scared? What the fuck would he be scared of?”
Zayn shrugs, looking away. “I don’t know,” he says but he very much looks like he does know.
Louis's life has been a drag since Harry left him. He's stuck between uni and his part-time bar job, occasionally hooking up here and there. He hates Harry for leaving, and the fact that he can't forget him. But at least he's got Zayn- his flatmate and only real friend who's also the least problematic person ever. Louis wishes he could just move on and find joy, but, spoiler alert, things are about to get real messed up. Part 1 of Hearts at Stake
＊ Even the stars in the skies, they are wrong by flamboyo / @riverswater [M, 14k, Louis & Zayn]
“I feel like,” Zayn starts again, after another long pause. “I feel like I was given something beautiful, but that is also a ticking bomb. And it’s gonna go off soon, and it’s gonna destroy me. So I know I should destroy it first.” He hides his face in his hands, and Louis refrains from offering him a cuddle. He’s finally talking. “But I don’t know if I have the guts to. I don’t know if I really want to. Because it’s so beautiful and rare, and I’ve wanted it for so long. But now that I have it, it’s corroding me. And I don’t know how long I can keep going like this.”
It’s May 2014, and the Where We Are tour just started in South America. The boys are buzzing with excitement, but Zayn can't take it anymore. He is ready to leave the band.
Louis knows that no reasoning will ever convince him to stay.
＊ It'll Never Change, Baby by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [M, 1k, Zayn/Niall]
Ten years have passed, and so much has changed in the time since.
Or a look into the 25th of March 2025
＊ Not Without My Muse by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 34k, Zayn/Niall]
Life continues as it always does at a relentless pace. Touring, moving across the country and familial responsibilities keep everyone busy. But never too busy to spend time together. A How It Found Us Sequel
＊ Lover Be Good To Me by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 3k, Zayn/Niall]
A long weekend calls for a trip up north.
The fact that it's their anniversary is icing on the cake.
＊ 23 and Me by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [E, 315 words, Louis/everyone]
Louis only works for about 30 minutes on March 15 each year, just enough time for his short but intense Ides of March special: Impale Caesar! 60 people surround him, 23 of whom have paid extra for the honor of stabbing their dicks into one of his holes. Part 13 of Glory Hole-idays
＊ Out of Our Systems: Part 5 by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings [E, 13k, Harry/Zayn/Louis]
After two and a half years into their relationship filled with fun, laughter, and love, the only thing they need a little more of is time. Part 5 of Out of Our Systems
＊ The Tokyo Surprise by @srldesigns6277 [E, 8k, Harry/Louis]
Harry surprised his fans by running the Tokyo Marathon, so Louis surprised him in return.
