Celebrated as the youngest soulmates to ever find each other, the world sees Harry and Louis as one. But one body was never meant to hold the magic of two.
Read this fic in silence, solitude, so you can savour every word. Because this is poetry, the kind that makes you go back and read sections over because you need to understand every bit of it, understand the way the author weaves the words together to create this beautiful lightning spark that shoots straight into your heart.

He expects his usual warm welcome from Sue, always drying off a glass or cleaning the taps with a dirty rag. Instead, to his shock, a man is behind the bar, pouring a Whiskey Sour for a regular Harry always sees at this time of night. He’s no doubt his age; he can tell by the smoothness of his skin, the muscles in his biceps, the way his hair is swept back in a style not unlike a young James Dean, exemplifying the cut of his cheekbones and the sharpness at his jaw.
As he approaches the bar, quietly since he’s not wearing his shoes, he blurts it out— “Where’s Sue? Is she alright? She’s not dead, is she?”
The barkeep, wide-eyed at first but quickly growing amused, smiles at him, eyeing his dress, tousled wet hair and smudged makeup with a curl in his lip. “Darling,” he says, completely ignoring his question, “a leather jacket with a dress like that? Are you mad?”

The way this author manages to get emotion across is powerful and settles deep within your chest, bittersweet and daring to hope.

14-year-old Harry is ecstatic to finally be old enough to experience the time-honored tradition of school dances. But with each year that passes and each dance he attends, he’s realizing they’re not all he used to hope they’d be. Especially when he can’t actually dance with the person he most wants to.
Maybe he and Louis can figure out their own ways to keep dancing, anyway.
Such a soft fic, we follow Harry along the years yearning for a dance, like every one else. The author did such a great job writing the bittersweetness of the situation they are in and wrote such a perfectly sweet ending.

It’s only then, as Anne elegantly sits at the other end of the table, that Louis realises there’s a third set of cutlery and plate laid out on the side between them. She feels something twist in her belly, right when the sound of small heels coming closer echoes from the drawing room.
She looks at Anne’s side, where the door she came from remains ajar. But she realises, as the steps slow down, that the one on hers is wide open. She feels the hair on her neck standing up slightly with what feels like a shift in the very atmosphere of the room. A gravitational pull that passes right by her side with no words, no sound, just a disturbance of the air.
There she is.

The writing in this fic really transports you to a different place and time. It’s very beautifully written and portrays the atmosphere so very well. A beautiful slow burn fic where you get attached to the characters so much, you feel bereft to let them go when finished.
