“When Harry tells Louis that the thought of him and their future is what keeps him trying each day to be a better man, Louis cries too.” 

GOD, Beth!!! This is so beautiful. The whole epilogue is beautiful. I barely slept last night because I was so excited about this. Being in the european timezone these days is literally no fun haha. But it’s absolutely fine in this case. Thank you again, Beth for this amazing piece of art. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And I just want to add my favourite part from the fic, too. I just really loved this whole scene in chapter 15 and i just thought that this is so much Louis and that this was so on point. Especially that last sentence really got me because this is so true when you were in a state that Louis was this past years and you slowly start to crawl out. With every tiny step you try to find yourself again and then something (little) like this happens and you figure you’re on the right way. That even every little effort to continue walking will be worth it. I loved it so much and I laughed 85 years I could actually picture his face saying it.

“Tommo, you need to read your email,” Zayn says, more patiently than Louis probably deserves. “We ended up selling out the US leg. Apparently we’re hot shit again.”

Louis rolls his eyes. “Speak for yourself,” he sniffs. “I’ve always been hot shit.”

Harry giggles at that, and Louis gives himself a mental pat on the back, even though nobody else laughs. The jokes are almost always for Harry anyway, and like always, Haz still thinks he’s the funniest person in the room. Louis is actually discovering that more things are the same than they are different. And that’s not at all what he was expecting.

Hi y’all :)

So happy that we have the discussion going again. Kinda missed it a bit these last weeks and it’s so cool to see a lot of new faces, too.

This fic is seriously an amazingly well written masterpiece. Hands down. I don’t even know where to start because I enjoyed every single bit. From the writing structure over the characterization of the boys and all these beautiful combos of ‘flangst’. A story with such a serious topic so excellently written with never failing in keeping the balance to deliver all the emotions and seriousness. Thank you so so much for this, Beth.

Your question, lululawrence, is quite interesting because personally I somehow can’t see Louis as an alcohol addict. Right at the very beginning of the fic we actually learn that ‘He definitely drinks more than is healthy.’ which made me think that he still has some kind of control over this. He maybe even does it on purpose but not really because he needs it or he can’t live without it. I see it actually as that weird thing you do when you are horribly hurt. A lot of people do that in all different forms. I mean, wouldn’t you think that Louis wouldn’t even been able to just look at a bottle of alcohol after all what happened to Harry and their relationship because of that damn booze? But that’s this weird thing humans do...they keep hurting sometimes only themselves but sometimes also others similar to how they got hurt and mostly without even realizing. I don’t know if there is even this meaning behind this but I thought it’s interesting that Louis chooses to still get drunk every now and then and he really chooses it. Like I said, he doesn’t need it or something and that’s why I think this story would not have worked for me the other way around.

For me personally it was the moment when Louis asked Harry to make an alliance and the whole Day 3 that happened after. Since then it started to feel different for me.

Ooh, so pretty early on! What made that part stick out to you as the beginning of the change? Lululawrence

v-e-r-n-i-c-e replied to your post: “Okay. You guys ready for a simple question that doesn’t look too deep?…”:

I was actually pretty sure Louis was going to win and was a bit surprised that it was Harry in the end. But not in a negative way of course I was quite in awe actually.

THAT WAS ME TOO! I wasn’t disappointed, just surprised. But again, that also might be because I never have watched a full season of survivor and I didn't know until yesterday it was an actual season this was based on, so that might have changed things for me. Lululawrence

v-e-r-n-i-c-e yes! the gifs throughout the whole fic made it very interesting and very survivor-y! it’s like watching it while your reading it at the same time. the authors got that part right for me.

Hi guys :)

I was quite excited to read the fic because I had this one already in my fics-to-read-list since a few months. I put this list in order to the number of words and I’m a huge fan of fics with 2k-10k words (on a good day I do 20k-25k) so this one was actually on the near end of that list. So what better opportunity could I ask for to finally read it if not for our lovely discussion. Thanks for picking this one. :) But I am actually so with you, loadedgun1d. All this stuff happening lately with the boys and in the fandom...idk...it’s really exhausting. I mean I’m in the fandom for quite some time now and tbh there is always something going on but this right now is seriously really wild. Anyways, I love these kind of TV shows like Survivor or Big Brother and such so I was all in for this one. I was so looking forward to see how it would be written and I was really impressed. It took me a bit at the beginning tbh because for me the writing was so different to what I read before. It somehow made me feel like I’m not only reading the fic but I’m also watching the show, if that makes any sense. Especially with how the chapters were built and with the quotes (and sometimes gifs) on the end of the days I could actually imagine the contestants sitting on a rock in the sand with the sound of the ocean in the background giving their comments and on the bottom of your TV they would blend in a line with their names and what team they are in. That was so nice. Sometimes I wished in some situations the writers would have digged in a bit deeper or wrote here and there a sentence more about feelings or thoughts. But I figured this could’ve maybe destroyed my feeling that I’m just the reader/watcher. Overall, I really enjoyed reading it and I would definitely recommend it.
