Louis sighs.

“Do you remember what I said to you the first time we met?”

“That I’m naive and neurotic and would be hard pressed to ever find someone who could put up with me?” Harry snaps.

“No, the other thing. You know.”

Harry drops her gaze to her hands, fiddles with her rings.

“You said you could never be ‘just friends’ with women, because sex would always get in the way. I told you I was straight. You laughed at me. I was so mad at you, but you were right. You were. And we can’t be friends.”

Or, a When Harry Met Sally AU in which Louis says all the wrong things and Harry always feels one step behind. AO3

Harry shakes her head and turns away, but the chills that erupt at the sudden feel of Louis’ hand on her arm keep her from bolting.

“Harry, look at me. I was wrong. Of course I have female friends. I said that because I was young, and stupid, and arrogant, and stupidly intimidated by you. You were so beautiful, and clever, and unavailable.”

Harry lifts her gaze to search Louis’ eyes.

“But in a way I was right, about us.” 

Louis takes a deep breath. Harry feels like she hasn’t stopped holding hers all night.

“I could never be friends with you, because why would I want to be friends when we could be lovers?”

Clearly I got a bit carried away with my When Harry Met Sally AU so here’s a drabble?? I guess?? And another drawing cause I can’t get enough of Them

UPDATE: turning this into a proper fic! first chapters up now on ao3

She continues to switch between roles line by line, dancing closer to Harry bit by bit until she looks her dead in the eyes and shoves the microphone right up to her mouth. Harry can’t help but give her what she wants.

“Summer days, driftin’ away, to-ah! Oh, the summer nights,” she sings hesitantly.

Louis’ face lights up, eyes practically slits with how wide she’s grinning.

Harry makes the split second decision to ham it up even more.

art from chapter seven of my fic!!! out now!!!!

“Says the woman with a man’s name.”

“You ever try moaning Louis? Sexy as fuck,” she grins wolfishly.

art from chapter 5 of my fic!

last night i couldn’t sleep bc my brain just kept vividly demonstrating to me how i would rewrite when harry met sally to be a lesbian romance and i had to do this stupid sketch of fem harry and louis to get it out of my system

and what if i wrote the fic. what then

Louis grins, the wolfish smile echoing the fading snapshot image of her in Harry’s mind.

“Right, Harriet. Lovely Harriet. Oi,” Louis reaches around the seat to poke Harry’s seat mate, “Would you mind swapping with me, mate?”

The burly man blinks, bewildered, but with a flutter of Louis’ eyelashes and a tilt of her head he gathers his book and pen and does as he’s told.

Harry squeezes her eyes tight as Louis plops into the man’s seat, sends a quick fuck you to whatever god put her in this position, and turns to face the woman.

Twenty-seven looks good on Louis.

UPDATED FOR CHAPTER 2!

[cherrylouvol6]

to celebrate the impending release of the final chapter of the whms fic, heres some cursed facts about this universe that you really dont need to know (spoiler warning but also not really)

- bree is briana i just didnt want to type her full name cause ew right

- the “andrew” harry goes on a date with in chapter 7 is actually andrew garfield, simply because i couldn't think of any other eligible british men and i watched the social network a few weeks ago

- stevie started out as just a random original character name cause i didn’t want to put, like, hannah or danielle in there (it felt weird and cheesy idk its bad enough that i included briana) but when i wrote her reappearance i was like oh wait a second is that.......steve aoki

- so maybe she is steve aoki. it doesn’t have to be though cause lol cursed. you can pretend it's actually stevie nicks if you like, that'd be funny

- idk if anyone noticed that stevie’s fiancé is called winston but uh. yeah the name is a reference to THAT winston. the one that made the atrocious you and i music video (fuck u ben!)

- one may assume that when taylor says her song is about “someone i met in new york” she means like, dianna or karlie or someone, but it’s actually me. that’s my obligatory shameless cursed self-insert character, the nameless blink-and-you-miss-it new york lover that inspired state of grace. its my fic i make the rules

i think thats it for the cursed facts. hope you enjoyed the fic i had a fuckin BLAST writing it lol x
