unique writing asks: 7, 8, and 10!
ahh someone just beat you to 10!! you can find that here :) but i will most definitely answer the other two (under the cut because i really cannot shut up):
7. Favorite description in your wip? (If asked more than once, respond with a new piece each time)
ahh i suck at descriptions so this is hard!! but i think i do have an answer (it’s just really long) (also idk if this qualifies as one description) (it’s a description of what is happening???) (me to myself: no one cares!)
okay damn this is really long but, anyways, from if the sun don’t shine:
The conductor walks up to the podium and everyone in the audience falls silent, waiting. Louis is frozen in place when he lifts his baton. The musicians tense, hands poised in position. He brings the wand down in a fell swoop and the music begins.
Louis finds himself slumping back against his seat, letting the tension drain from his shoulders as the music seeps into his mind and whisks him off into another world, dozens of musicians playing in perfect harmony, every instrument in precise synchronization that can only be created from hours of relentless practice and steady discipline. It’s something truly incredible to witness.
He doesn’t know much about classical music compositions and symphonies and other musical terms, but he soaks in every note and melody, letting every crisp nuance and soft detail sink into him and soothe his soul.
But despite his best efforts, as time goes on, Louis’ self-control lessens and lessens. By the time they reach the fourth piece, his eyes have wandered back to the first violin section, to those broad shoulders and steady hands. He’s had those hands pressed into his waist, to his back, and the back of his neck.
Watching him feels like falling under a spell, caught in a trance that he’s not sure he ever wants to be broken out of. The rest of the hall vanishes, other musicians blurring into the background. There might as well be a spotlight shining over Harry’s figure for how little Louis pays attention to anyone else.
It’s strange, he thinks. It’s strange to have this much of a fascination with someone’s hands. Yet he can’t take his eyes off Harry’s long nimble fingers as they dance over the neck of the instrument, the steady pull of his right arm as he drags the bow across the strings and a long rich tone is drawn out from the hollow body.
Louis can’t stop looking, can’t stop drinking in every twitch of Harry’s hands and the way a look of pure bliss falls over his face as he follows the conductor and builds to a crescendo, movements becoming quick and forceful before dipping back to a slower cadence. His bow slides down effortlessly - like an extension of his hand, he had said. But Louis thinks it’s a bit bigger than that. It’s like the violin is part of Harry’s soul.
8. Favorite dialogue in your wip? (If asked more than once, respond with a new piece each time)
oh no this is also hard sjskl i *could* pick one of the more sappy snippets of dialogue that i’m really fond of but i’m actually going to pick something more recent from kiss and tell (me a lie) :
“The real question is why you’re so bothered by this,” Niall says, clapping his hands together. “Let’s unpack that.”
“Unpack what?” Harry asks, plopping onto the couch. “I’m just hurt that Louis didn’t trust me enough to share this with me.”
“Mate, it’s not that deep,” Liam says, sighing. “Maybe he just regrets it.”
“And I regret buying those shorts last week that were too tight around my dick,” Harry says impatiently. “But I had no problem telling Louis that.”
“No shame,” Liam repeats, holding his hands out exasperatedly. “You have no shame.”
“Let’s unpack that,” Niall says enthusiastically.
“Shut up, Niall.”
-- and then the sequel:
“Wow,” Niall says, letting out a breath. He waits a beat before adding “I think we should unpack that.”
“I’m going to kill him,” Harry says to Liam, completely serious.
“Pretty sure murder is prohibited in the library,” Liam says. “Hold it in until we’re outside at least.”
