DUCKY ASH SNIPPET
Hello loves ! Here a little snip for the @1d-oneliner-fest , and, it's a little gift for the wonderful @enchantedlandcoffee ! Can't wait for you to read all this fic <3
"It can't be true, Louis... It can't be true." Harry kept talking, his voice shaking, his eyes pleading.
Louis deflated like a balloon as Harry's pheromones hit him full force, sensing his utter distress.
"I... I'm sorry..." He whispered, really sorry.
"Louis you can't have been ready for that!" Harry urged him.
"I... Yes... Yes, I was... I... I couldn't stand the others. I... I knew... I agreed..."
"But why... Why the fuck why?!" Harry cried, tears finally overflowing.
"Because... Because everything... Everything in me loves you, everything in me loves everything about you. And... And… I had... Made this choice... It was this, you, or nothing. And without you... Without you it wasn't worth it..."
"Fuck... Fuck, Louis, don't ever dare to say that again. Never again." Harry began to cry. "You can't... YOU CAN'T! I can't, not without you! Never without you! What would we have done without you! Me and Ash! What the fuck would we have done?!” Harry suddenly became annoyed, coming very close. Too close, his face inches from Louis', eyes literally black, not even darker green, no, no, totally black.
"Harry," Louis breathed, his heart racing, not really sure if it was fear, emotion or excitement.
"I will never, ever let you die. FUCK! NEVER! YOU HEAR ME?!" Harry roared, slamming both hands against the wall around Louis' head. "You're mine! YOU'RE FUCKING MINE! And I take care of what's mine, Louis. NEVER... I would never have let that happen. One day, if one day I'd been called because you were dying in a hospital bed because you weren't bonded, I'd have fucking forcibly bonded you." Harry shouted, then squeaked, his eyes locked in Louis's, furious.
And…
Well, all right. Maybe Louis was slightly turned on by Harry's new wild side.
It was doing things to him.
Like, maybe he started to feel his slick coming…
He nodded in agreement, not really wanting to upset the alpha any more than he already was.
"Say it. Say you're mine," Harry ordered.
"I... I'm yours... Oh fuck... I'm yours, yours, Harry. Alpha..." Louis stammered, his heart soaring like he was a hummingbird, the relief of this realisation coursing through his veins and leaving him mind blown.
"Fucking right. That's right!" The alpha nodded decisively.
Then Harry kissed him. He started hard, as before, but soon his lips softened, caressing Louis' ever more slowly and Louis melted against the warmth of his alpha, immediately forgetting what they were talking about.
Harry was really careful, paying attention to every touch of his lips against the omega's, gently opening his mouth in a silent invitation for more, which Louis gladly accepted, tasting Harry at last.

Hi! Do you know the abo fic where Louis and Liam are married, Louis accidentally time travels, then meets Harry. Harry is Scottish, and I think it is either 18th or 19th century? Also, Thank you so much for all the things you do u guys are amazing!!!!!
Hi, anon! So glad you enjoy the blog! Pretty sure this is the fic you're thinking of!
billow and breeze (islands and seas) by pleasinglouis
It was bright; that was the first thing Louis could recall. With a groan, he winced at the throbbing behind the sockets of his eyes and rubbed his temples in an effort to soothe the pain. Maybe he really did hit his head when he took his tumble. The omega squinted as he looked at the surrounding rolling hills and fog hanging over the countryside. As strange as it was, the world felt different, though it looked practically the same.
Disoriented and confused, Louis padded through the moss and listened for his husband. “Liam?” he croaked shakily. Nothing but a symphony of woodland creatures met his ears. His footsteps were muted by mossy green grass beneath his feet and soil fragrant as he neared the crest of the hill. At the top, he froze, lips parted in horror and eyes widening at the expanse of empty farmland—not a soul in sight. It had only been less than ten minutes prior that he could see Inverness from the crest, but now there was nothing.
“Impossible,” he whispered to himself, shaking his head in disbelief—his mind not quite able to make sense of it.

Reviewing my 2023 Writing Goals
I made a goals list in January of 2023, and now it’s time to look them over and see what I accomplished!
1. Sprint more - I’ve been sprinting a lot more in the @1d-library discord, and I’ve had a lot of fun with my friends there, who always encourage and support me! I almost always think to see if anyone wants to sprint when I am in the mood to write, and I think it’s helped!
2. Write a sequel - This was on my goals list two years in a row, and I actually did it for 2023! I knew for a while that I wanted to add another part to my threesome fic (Even If It’s Only For Tonight) and for the Zouis Fest, I wrote It’s Alright If It Makes You Feel Alive. I’m so happy with how it came out!
3. Join a new fest - I participated in a few different fests this year! One that I loved was the Title/Trope Fest, for which I wrote Lick the Knife. It was so different for me, and I loved the end result.
4. Finish my intersex ABO WIP - I actually didn’t work on this fic at all this year, but that’s okay! I haven’t had ideas for it, but who knows what the future holds!
5. Experiment with writing new kinks/smut content - I definitely did this a lot this year! I played around with canon inspired smut in my Center Stage Whore series, which was lots of fun! Some new kinks that I wrote about include religion, ageplay, sweat, and several fics with hand content!
6. Share a fic with a friend - Oh boy, did I do this one. Not only did I start sharing some of my fics with my IRL best friend, but I even let someone read my infamous waffle fic out loud to a group of my friends! They were definitely not ready for it 😂 But my best friend has been very supportive and encouraging of my works!
7. Run a Fest - In 2023 I started a new fest @1d-oneliner-fest, and I enjoyed it! I also brought back @1dsongfest for a second round, which is currently open! I’m still not the best at modding fests, but people join them hahaha.
8. Write at least one fic without smut - Surprisingly, I wrote four mini fics without smut. It was still a struggle for me, and it felt totally weird to do. Three of the fics were for Wordplay, and I’m ehhh about how they came out lol. The fourth fic is my favorite nonsmut fic of the year, she bit someone. It was super short for the Trick or Treat Fest, but maybe I’ll continue more in that universe in the future!
Honorable mention: this was not a set goal until the very end of the year, but I posted 30 fics in 2023! Very proud of being able to reach that number ☺️
Overall, I think I did really well this year! Couldn’t have done it without all my amazing friends and readers!

Lies & Liability by 4ureyesonly28
34k⎪Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson⎪Mature
Harry Styles has only three wishes when he leaves River Dane Manor to go to Town for his first season: that his sister has rented a townhouse that will provide him as many of the comforts of the country life he has grown accustomed to as possible, that he will not trip and fall when he is presented to Her Majesty the Queen, and that he will enter matrimony out of true love, no matter how favourable the match with any which alpha may be.
Written for the @1daboficfest with this gorgeous mood board by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed. ♡

Maybe You'll Like the Way I Am by @lululawrence (lululawrence)
⋆*+・゚:⋆*・゚:*⋆.*・゚+.: ⋆*・゚: .⋆ ⋆*+・゚:⋆*・゚:*⋆.*・゚+.: ⋆*・゚: .⋆
Harry stood on his doorstep, waving a little as he shuffled his feet. “Hi, I brought you some cookies.”
Louis finally realized Harry was holding a plate with at least a dozen chocolate chip cookies.
“How’d you know chocolate chip was my favorite?”
Harry scrunched his nose. “I, uh, they’re actually peanut butter chocolate chunk, so I really hope you don’t have a peanut allergy. There’s a lot of peanut butter and chocolate in these. But also, I just hoped that was something you liked because I actually have a favor to ask?”
When Louis' alpha neighbor asks him to pretend to be his omega for a week, Louis immediately says no. He has too much he's dealing with on his own, and he swore to himself he'd never get that close to an alpha again. Unable to hold to that resolve once guilt sets in, Louis finds that maybe fumbling his way through a fake relationship for a week was exactly what he needed to finally be able to move on.

fic post: feel my body come alive
Niall Horan/Shawn Mendes | 10k | Explicit
Shawn feels his breath pick up and his heart rate skips a beat. His throat starts tightening up and he thinks he’s probably going to have another panic attack. “How could I forget them?” Shawn says, defeated. “It’ll be okay,” he hears Niall say distantly in the background. He can’t focus too much on anything other than the fact that he’s going to have to experience the one, awful thing he’s been running from for the first time in years. Or, Niall and Shawn are meant to be on a long weekend trip to celebrate their six-month anniversary, until they realize Shawn forgot his suppressants at home.
A fic for @notjustsmutficfest

It's always darkest before the dawn by Marchessa
The full moon was hiding behind dark clouds on that night, filling the air with something sinister. Harry lived that evening like an out of body experience, as if it hadn't happened to him. Because something horrifying like that can happen only to fictional characters and people from old-wives tales, not to actual breathing people. Or so he thought.
Everything that happened after nightfall seemed surreal, and he couldn't put his finger on where it went off the track. Probably sometime during the train ride back to Holmes Chapel after a long, exhausting week of university classes.
Or the one where Louis saves Harry's life by biting him, but the younger man has to pay the price for it.
Written for @1daboficfest
This is my second fic for the fest. I hope you will enjoy it.

We are the same, you run in my veins by 28sunflowers
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Soulmates | Full Shift Werewolves | Alpha/Alpha | @1daboficfest | General Audiences | 4.470 words
When the time for Louis to become the Alpha leader of his pack comes, he can’t rise to the occasion for not being yet bonded. A series of trips to neighbouring packs in search of his soulmate is fruitless until he meets one of the other packs’ Alpha heir.
Harry.
The world seems to stop turning for a second and then it shifts, clicking into its axis. All the distress and wrongness he felt until that very moment suddenly disappears. Louis is finally whole.
But two Alpha leaders from different tribes soulbonding is something unheard of before.
Thank you Mia @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed my darling for the beautiful moodboard, and thank you Greta @hershelsue for being supportive of my fic and helping me make it better. 🖤

Snippet Sunday ✨
This is a lil snippet from my upcoming abo fic for @1dchristmasfest 🥰
“You can just pick any out from my spotify, my phone’s got no password so you’re good,” Harry informed him. He heard a gasp coming from his left.
“You heathen!! What kind of a person doesn’t have a password or lock of some sort on their phone? Should I be scared, like??”
Harry grinned at the ribbing. “I haven’t got anything to hide!” That and he didn’t think he was interesting enough to have anything worth keeping locked away from prying eyes. His life was plain like that, and he tried not to wallow in that too often. “What are you hiding then, Louis?” he asked, turning it on Louis.
“Everyone has a locked phone, Harry, I’m not hiding anything!!” Louis retorted, voice high pitched. Interesting. Harry didn’t have to wonder for long because Louis was then mumbling, “search history…..some photos.”
Harry frowned. Photos? What, why even….oh. No. Surely not what he was thinking of.
Louis could have meant any photos. Louis could have meant ANY photos.
Throat dry, he willed himself to think of literally anything else before he rushed head first down that road.

Moon Baby (E, 7k, abo) by jaerie
Taking it up the ass from other alphas made Louis a well known star in his corner of the internet. Moon Baby is arguably the most well known pregnant omegas in the same circle. Their fans want them to collab and their people make it happen. Turns out they are more than just fans of each other.

Keep Me Closer
Louis expects Harry to react poorly, maybe even file a formal complaint and that’s gonna suck ass but Louis won’t say shit cause he knows he deserves it, so he prepares an apology before Harry’s even turned around.
What he doesn’t expect is Harry to fucking drop.

4, 9, & 15
4. honestly, i’ve read wonderful fics from many talented authors in this fandom that have inspired me !! i’ve also been lucky enough to befriend some of them & receive their help w some of my fics. but i’m gonna cheat & name a few more than 3 lol oops.
@zanniscaramouche —— zanni knows how much her writing has influenced me, but her ability to keep scenes going, go from one character’s action to the next character’s action and/or dialogue so seamlessly, perfectly describe how & why an action made a character feel the way it did, etc just brings her writing to life so wonderfully. i’ve been lucky enough to have her beta quite a few of my fics that included smut as well, bless her soul, because her talent when it comes to smut, dirty talk, etc is superb. having her influence in my smut has made it what it is today, 100%.
@thedevilinmybrain —— the way jen writes emotions so viscerally & describes things in a way that even if you’ve never seen an item, action, and/or place before, you can still picture it in your head clearly is so admirable. you feel every emotion the character feels. you see exactly what the character sees. i’m obsessed w the way she portrays louis & harry’s dynamic in each fic —— it’s always similar but different. keeps you on your toes but you know it’s gonna be a good time. that’s how i aspire to write larry’s relationship in my fics lol. her writing is so captivating & phenomenal.
@loveislarryislove — long story short, annika & i have this obsession with touches & yearning doing so much for a scene, an emotion, a character, etc. touches are everything!!! i read her bodyguard fic & was obsessed before we even became friends & it showed me that you can depict so much lust, love, angst, happiness, etc in a scene that isn’t even that intense physically. bless annika’s soul for betaing my fics, too lol.
@2tiedships2 & @londonfoginacup for the same reasons —— the way they incorporate humor into their dialogue and internal monologue???? unmatched!!!! i’ve always wanted to be a writer who can incorporate humor into a fic seamlessly that is funny to people besides me and reading endless amounts of their fics & talking to them as well has definitely helped me mucho. their writing has also helped me learn that it’s okay to bend some sentence structure rules for creative reasons & i can confirm, my writing has only benefited from it.
there’s def more, but i’m just gonna name a few more people who have been influential for me for various reasons (dirty talk, smut, slow burn, humor, etc) & then i’ll stfu ab this one lmao: @allwaswell16 @lululawrence @kingsofeverything @disgruntledkittenface @crinkle-eyed-boo @jaerie @twopoppies @gaycousinlarry @hershelsue @sadaveniren
9. kind of? i try to stay flexible with myself if i can though. like if i finish a fic a day or three after the deadline i’ve set myself, then i’m not gonna berate myself for it. i do have a schedule for my cinderella au fic tho; that has a deadline of publishing one chapter a week!
15. i hope im answering this right when i answer this based on what universe i think is the hardest to write lol —— for me, it’s omegaverse. i was just talking about this w some people in the 1d library actually lol. i love reading abo fics but im just not sure if i could take myself seriously writing the words “slick” or “knot” or whatever. i get too self aware and in my head about it. i have so much admiration for writers who write many abo fics, i wish i could do what they do. i’ve been thinking about signing up for the abo fic fest to kind of get myself over that hurdle, but we’ll see.
thank you for asking me questions!! hopefully you don’t mind that my answer was kinda long 🙃 but this was fun!! xx

sick fic abo rut scent thingy -- YO DOES THIS HAVE TOUCH DEPRI?
accidental bondage fic real -- this is so real of u Julia. now finish it <3
hello!! thank you!!
sick fic abo rut scent thingy
I didn't know what to do with the prompt I had for the 1D a/b/o fest (h & l, sharing a bed, friends to lovers), so I started writing on a few different things to figure out what I wanted. this is one of the alternatives that I abandoned. it doesn't have touch depri, sorry to disappoint! (the roommate au does though) this is sick Louis who goes into rut and when he comes out of it, Harry had gotten sick after taking care of him. however, it never even reached the rut stage before it was abandoned. I saved it to write something shorter in the future, but we'll see if that happens
accidental bondage fic real
this is a fun one, but I haven't worked on it since April. and if I decide to do it, it'll need a complete change of plot because I got bored with it. the basic idea is that Harry and Louis don't know what they're doing is bondage, because for them it's just Louis playing around with ropes and knots using Harry's arms/legs instead of sticks or something. and it kind of becomes a thing 😂 I want to finish it though, I just need to come up with a new plot. without completely abandoning the plot I already have (but that sounds like it's a lot of work and I don’t have the energy to spend)
here's the list of titles

Thank you to @haztobegood @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @justalarryblog @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @loulovehome and @jacaranda-bloom for tagging me in this! I loved reading all your posts!!
1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 15 (half of all the fics I've ever posted!)
2. Word count posted for the year: 178.735 !!!
3. Fandoms I wrote for: One Direction, Lewis Capaldi, But I'm a Cheerleader
4. Pairings: 1D Pairings: Harry/Louis, Lewis/Niall, Zayn/Liam, Niall/Golf But I'm a Cheerleader Pairings: Jan/Sinéad, Megan/Graham
5. Story with the most:
Kudos: Lies & Liability (280)
Bookmarks: Lies & Liability (145)
Comments: like cranberries on a winter evening (247 as of now. which. insane!!)
6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): I think I'll never be as proud of anything as I am of The Journal. I'm putting this under the cut because it's incredibly personal, but Lynda asked me to finish this fic for her when she first got ill. It was early December and I was still hopeful that the treatment would work and she would get better and be able to finish it herself. Then she got COVID and the aftermath of that really had her health declining more rapidly than any of us expected. She asked me again, to finish her story some time in January I believe, and it hurt so much to think about the fact that she herself felt that she would never be able to do it alone that I put it off again. When I finally came to terms with the fact that she was right, I put off everything else and dove head-first into this fic and made it as much of a love letter as I could.
The fic itself deals with themes of illness, eternal life, reincarnation... And it was my way of telling Lynda that she would be an eternal force in this Universe. I'm more grateful than anything for the fact that I finished it in time for her to still be able to read it. Everything I write is for her, sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously.
7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): I don't have anything I wrote that I particularly dislike, but maybe A Burnt Child Loves the Fire isn't my best? It's only 100 words though so I guess there's not much about it to either love or hate.
8. Share or describe a favourite review you received: All the comments I got on like cranberries on a winter evening throughout December were absolute magic. I can't thank everyone who read that story enough.
I recently shared the comments @zanniscaramouche left on Lies & Liability and But I’m the Quarterback. They are probably the longest and most thorough comments I've ever received and I love them a lot.
9. A time when writing was really, really hard: When it felt like I was running out of time to say goodbye to one of my dearest friends, but I just wanted to do her justice and make the story she'd started the best that it could possibly be. Sus and Tabby were there for me and I'm eternally grateful for that.
10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: The entirety of across the river is where my heart is. I wrote this for @wordplayfics after I had just painstakingly finished Lies & Liabilty for the ABO fest and I saw the prompt "divide" and sent @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed a voice note rambling about a dystopian girl!direction AU that I desperately wanted to write. Mia told me to relax and that it sounded like a huge fic to write in a week, in response to which I rationalized it down into four 2k scenes and then this happened.

Turns out... I wrote pretty much exactly 8k that week and managed to fit the entire plot into that wordcount. Go me! It's one of my favourite fics I wrote this year!
11. A favorite excerpt of your writing: This is very hard to choose. I'll go with this from The Journal and it's one of the flashback scenes that Harry lives through to understand what's going on in his present.
“It can only work if you both are willing to give your life for it,” a man with sharp features says, a barely audible accent to his words, amber eyes scanning Harry and the man next to him. His dark hair is fashionably parted on the side of his head, but Harry feels there is something ancient about him. His suit is cut just like his own, but the fabrics seem different, somehow iridescent. His waist coat is made of finer silk than Harry has seen in these parts of the world, and embroidered in such bright colors that Harry has a hard time keeping himself from reaching out to feel the threads underneath his fingertips and see if they might come away stained.
“To reiterate,” the man next to Harry starts then with a sharp voice. “We’re both willing, but only one of us will actually give his life.” He grabs his hand and Harry’s immediate instinct is to pull away—they are in somebody else’s home after all—but a small caress on top of his thumb reminds him that it’s okay. That this strangely alluring man is here to help them.
“Even if we both have to give it now, we will do it,” Harry hears himself say. And he looks around the room, trying to see if anything about this stands out to him as fraudulent. He can barely make out anything in the faint candle light, but his eyes are drawn to an ancient looking silver brooch on their vis-á-vis’ jacket: a serpent wrapped around an egg.
“No, we will not,” the man to his left tugs on his hand and makes him turn, tries to get him to look up at him. Harry has to remind himself of what he just said. He’s willing to die for this person. He shifts his weight and feels that he’s missing his shoes, socks digging into soft carpet. Right. The stranger had asked them to remove their shoes at the door.
Harry’s breath is almost knocked out of him when he looks up at his lover, when he sees the fire in those steel blue eyes. His delicate, rounded brows are furrowed and his thin lips pressed together, agitated. Harry reaches out, touches his fingers to the side of his man’s face and caresses it gently.
“Yes, we will,” he says, while looking into those furious eyes, withstanding their fire like only he can.
“I see there will be no problem with the willingness of either of you.” There’s an audible smirk in the sorcerer’s voice as he says it. “But I can give you no guarantee that you will return soon after your death, Sir Tomlinson.”
“What we are here for is not a quick fix, Lord Malik,” Sir Tomlinson says then. He visibly has a hard time turning away from Harry, but he does. He looks at Lord Malik. “I want Harry to live a full life before returning to me.”
“Ah,” the sorcerer says knowingly. “But he may live many lives before he finds you. And each will make his task more difficult.”
12. How did you grow as a writer this year: I wrote A LOT this year, for my measures anyway. And as I did that, I realized that my dialogue and pacing improved with each new story.
This year was also the first time I ever published any kind of smut, and going into that was terrifying, but I felt that it was very rewarding in that I had breached a subject that used to be a big, terrifying wall I thought I'd never conquer. I don't think many of my fics will have smut in the future, but it's something that I can now deal with when the story happens to call for it, or if I just feel like it!
13. How do you hope to grow next year: Next year is a terrifying, but exciting prospect for me. I plan to focus more on my career and start a business, so I will definitely have to take a step back from writing, but I hope I can still go on with it despite that. I haven't signed up for any fests or challenges because I don't know if I will be able to keep any deadlines, but I have a few ideas that I want to make reality. I guess my hope for next year is to grow into a writer that doesn't stress so much about writing, but I don't know how attainable that is.
14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): There are many people that influenced and inspired me this year. The ever-growing and deepening friendships I developed with @lululawrence and @fallinglikethis throughout the year gave me a lot of strength and helped me a lot with the grief I went through.
@so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed was a constant, ever-encouraging and wonderful partner-in-crime. I can't explain how much I needed you this year and how thankful I am to have you.
Having mentioned Mia, I can't gloss over the wonderful, insanely talented @jacaranda-bloom, and everyone else who is a writer on my discord server who has written with me and shared their struggles and achievements.
15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: Oof. Always. I think that Harry's struggles with his faith in But I’m the Quarterback were something that I needed to reflect on personally. Obivously, the entirety of The Journal is incredibly personal on all levels.
16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Write what you want, not what you think others will like. Write because you enjoy it, have fun with it, even if you think it's ridiculous and weird and nobody will want to read it. Not everything has to be literally based in experience, your characters and scenery will always contain enough of you to make anything true to yourself if you allow them to take on the many facettes you have as a writer.
17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I have another couple bonus chapters of my advent fic like cranberries on a winter evening that I want to write at the beginning of the year and then I have another country fic planned (based on Orville Peck's version of Fancy), even though I don't know if I'll be able to run the @1dcountryfest again next year. I also had a LOT of fun with the advent fic so I might try that again next year. And I have my Bartender WIP from a couple years ago that I haven't touched in a long time. I don't think I'll run out of ideas.
18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: I'm super late with this one but I'll tag everyone I've mentioned already as well as @disgruntledkittenface @hazzabeeforlou @cowboylarries @homosociallyyours @lightwoodsmagic @londonfoginacup and anybody else who feels like doing this!
