Grab the Premium Homeownership Perks With the Probate Home Sale in California

Landlords and property remodelers are interested a lot in property legislation activities. The contribution of the ADU owners in adhering to the tax management practices is equal. Over time, the legal terms of homeownership act as a game changer here. It’s a fact that the potential of property search tools is extraordinary. Most of them upgrade technically and seasonally. A Probate Home Sale in California is less complicated thereafter. Is creating value and comfort in all the real estate deals worth investing time and money in?

[hometoursandotherstuff]

Can you imagine having a Palm Springs, California address, like the wealthy, for less than $750K? Well, here's the chance. Two rock homes are for sale - 1 for $749K and 1 for $699K - both have already been reduced by $50K. 2bds, 1ba.

They were built in 1930 inspired by Hopi and Navajo homes. The owner passed away and the family has had them on the market since 2022. They are historic and eligible for tax abatement under California's Mill Act Program.

The listing is focused on the smaller one, listed for $699K.

So, you have a large living room with a fireplace. There's a nice big alcove, too.

You could do something with this. The alcove has a little stage-like elevation.

I'm not sure what this is, but there doesn't seem to be a kitchen. Maybe that's why this fireplace is higher, like an oven?

This looks like it would make a good kitchen, especially if you want a huge one.

A patio is outside the potential kitchen.

Here's a table by an old heat stove and there's also a cabinet.

The larger home, built in 1929, features a casita.

The real estate photos are terrible. They don't show bedrooms, baths, or which house is which.

A private road with limited access leads to the homes.

The property looks neglected and overgrown, with lots of dead weeds.

You can see here how the private road veers away from a Palm Springs neighborhood with pools and stuff.

Looks like you can't access it from that main road. It's like the black sheep of the family that has to use the back door.

The lot is 3.33 acres. I know that they reduced the prices but it still seems a lot for just a couple of stone shells. What do you think?

[chaifootsteps]

About the 'No HR' anon...wasn't Viv also paying artists from her personal paypal account?

Also, you can look up SpindleHorse on the Better Buisness Bureau and SURPRISE it's not there.

You can find it on the California gov website but that's about it. Funny enough, there's an address listed for the business. I looked it up on google maps and it's like a bank or something. Right the fuck on Ventura Blvd, too. Not a lot of cheap real estate there....just saying.

Always follow the money.

Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do took an estimated $500,000 in bribes as he helped ensure that COVID relief funds went to an organization that claimed to be feeding elderly and disabled people, federal authorities said. The group, the Viet America Society, was given $9 million, but only 15% of the money went to feed the disadvantaged, while most of the money was used to buy real estate. Do’s daughter, Rhiannon Do, was listed as an officer for the Viet America Society.  It is unclear whether Do’s wife, who is a judge in Orange County, was implicated in the scheme. Federal authorities seized $2.4 million in connection with the probe, and Andrew Do agreed to forfeit any interest in that money and two homes in Orange County. He still faces a federal hearing and possible prison time.

A high-ranking elected official in Orange County, California, has agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery as part of a scheme involving a charity and the misuse of COVID-19 relief funds, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Orange County Supervisor Andrew Do took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes as he helped ensure that money went to an organization that claimed to be feeding elderly and disabled people, federal authorities said. The group instead used much of the funds to buy real estate, officials said.

Do, a Republican, resigned his position on the board for the county of 3 million people, effective immediately.

“Mr. Do unequivocally broke the trust of the public,” Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said during a news conference with federal prosecutors.

Cal Wins Shootout Over SMU 3-2

Lema Scores 16th Goal on Senior Day

BERKELEY – The California women's soccer team earned its 11th win of the season Sunday afternoon defeating visiting SMU 3-2 on Senior Day.   The 20th-ranked Golden Bears (11-5-2, 4-4-1) won the possession battle and took a season-high 26 shots to secure three crucial points in the ACC standings. Cal now sits in eighth place with 13 points and has a chance to finish the regular season tied with rival Stanford if it can come away with a win in Thursday's regular-season finale with the Cardinal.   After 42 and half minutes of scoreless soccer, the Bears captured some momentum with a true highlight goal just before the end of the half. In the 43rd minute junior Alex Klos chased down a ball by the right corner and fired a cross deep to the back post where Kenley Whittaker was waiting. The freshman rose to meet the ball and fired in a header to collect her first collegiate goal and put her team out in front. It was the first of two assists on the day for Klos.

The Mustangs (6-9-2, 2-6-2), who wrapped up their regular season today, responded early in the second half with an equalizer from Eliana Salama in the 48th minute.   Senior Velize King found the net next with an impressive individual effort in the 51st minute as the forward took as much real estate and she could until she was met by a Mustang defender in the penalty area. After deking back towards the middle King drilled the ball with her left foot and snuck it in between the near post and diving SMU goalkeeper Sierra Cota-Yarde. King is now tied for second on the team with three goals and 10 points.   Just as she did early in the half, Salama kept her Mustangs alive with another equalizer in the 59th minute to make it a 2-2 contest.   The fifth and final goal of this exciting, back-and-forth 22-minute stretch came off the boot of senior Karlie Lema. Klos played a ball into senior Alexis Wright who dribbled towards the SMU endline. Wright then centered it for a cutting Lema, who flicked in her 16th goal of the season. It was the 11th game-winner of Lema's career who now sits alone in fourth on Cal's single-season scoring list and is tied for second most in the country. Lema's 31 career goals are now tied for sixth on the all-time scoring list and her 38 points have moved her past Alex Morgan for fifth most in a single season.

O'Leary Ventures chief and "Shark Tank's" "Mr. Wonderful" Kevin O'Leary warned real estate investors against developing in New York following a state judge's ruling that former President Trump must pay $355 million in punitive damages in his civil fraud case.

O'Leary told "Fox & Friends Weekend" to take the "Trump factor" out of the equation and look at the case as if it were any real estate developer with a marked presence in New York State.

"Forget about the Trump factor," he said. "It's not about that. What does this say to everybody that wants to do work in New York and wants to risk capital? … this judge arbitrarily decide[d] that this is the right amount. I don't understand it. No developer does."

He added, "It's an atrocity. It's an embarrassment, but it's an assault on real estate."

O'Leary echoed his comments Monday on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on FOX Business.

'New York was already a loser state, like California is a loser state. There are many loser states because of policy, high taxes on competitive regulation,' he said. 'I would never invest in New York now. And I'm not the only person saying that.' 

O'Leary said very few business sectors create the amount of cash flow that real estate does. What Trump was found liable for doing, he argued, is not too different from the typical "haggling" that goes on between a prospective debtor and a bank.

"You go to a bank and you say, 'Look, I want to borrow $200 million to build a building’. And they say, ‘What assets do you have that we can secure this loan against?’ And you point to a building you built before, and you haggle, and you argue about the value of that building."

With New York appearing to categorize some instances of that process as potentially fraudulent, O'Leary said New York has supplanted California as the top name on his list of "loser states" for business.

Normal: Part One

Pairing: Spencer Reid x Female!Reader

Word Count: ~1.9k

Summary: Another lunch with your parents reveals something that’s been locked in your head, but your dad makes you confused and jumbles up the truth. It’s hard enough to focus on a case with a deranged man killing people on the road, you don’t need family drama on top of it.

Warnings: canon violence, canon language, canon talk of death, methods of kill

Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Criminal Minds. All credit goes to their respective owners. If there are any warnings that exceed the normal death/kills from the show, I will list them. If you’ve seen the show, then it’s the same level of angst unless otherwise stated

"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats." - H.L. Mencken

Hotch requested everyone to meet at the plane instead of in the briefing room like normal. You're running a bit late since your go-bag wasn't properly prepared, but luckily, you had some time to waste. You get out of your car when your phone rings, telling you that you have a message.

You take your phone out to read the message your father sent you.

Can we meet up again? Are you going to be near us?

I'll be in Orange County. Any chance you can come down to me?

I have some business in town. I'll let you know when we can meet up. I'd prefer it if it were just you.

Sure.

You don't want to tell Spencer you're doing this because that would only upset him further. You'll tell him you're going out to lunch and would be right back. You enter the plane and see everyone is already there.

"Sorry, I had a bit of a delay."

You put your bag in the compartments where everyone else's bags are and join Spencer's side who saved you a seat. As soon as you're settled in, the pilot starts to take off. When you're at cruising altitude, Jordan begins the briefing.

"Ten days ago in Orange County, California, Judy Hannity who is a real estate broker, and a mother was injured by a shotgun on the 91 freeway."

"Did she survive this?"

"Barely. She's paralyzed from the waist down. The second and third victims were both DOA. There were different vehicles for each shooting. A small black SUV, a black sedan, and a white sedan with no makes and no plates."

"Any reliable witnesses?"

"The first victim described the shooter as a normal, middle-aged white guy in an SUV."

"She gave that description but she couldn't remember anything else?" Hotch asks.

"Isn't that consistent with trauma?" Jordan asks.

"No, actually. Trauma victims either remember everything or nothing," you state. "I'm confused, though. The third victim was shot last week and we just got the phone call now?"

"Until the third shooting, the locals weren't convinced it was a serial shooter. There were different cars, and in the first shooting there was a different weapon."

"It's the same weapon," Rossi corrects Jordan. "The shot pattern on the second and third one may be wider, but he sawed off the shotgun. It's the same shooter. He's evolving quickly."

"The media has already dubbed him the Road Warrior."

"That explains why they wanted us there so quickly. This type of unsub is the hardest to catch. His victims are impersonal to him. One-third of the time, he flees with his vehicle, another third is that the victim's cars are a wreck, and the last third is the road that's contaminated by all the other cars that drive over it."

"How do we get him?" Jordan asks.

"We build a solid profile. We release it to the public with an appeal for help. Somebody knows this guy."

When the plane lands in Orange County, you're taken to the sheriff's station that is housing all the victim's cars. The detective on the case is eagerly waiting for your arrival, and when she sees you, she immediately heads over. The victim's cars are to your right, and you have to take a deep breath to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed.

"Thea Salinas, sheriff's county homicide. I'm running the task force."

"I'm Special Agent Jordan Todd, and they are Special Agents Rossi, Hotchner, Prentiss, Morgan, Y/N, and he's Dr. Spencer Reid."

"Are these the vehicles from the shootings?" you ask.

"Yes."

"Did you set up a hotline?" Jordan wonders.

"Like you asked. We have the local stations putting the number out there. We're getting about a dozen calls an hour."

"I'll alert the media to stand by for our press conference. Excuse me."

Jordan leaves the group as Hotch, Derek, and Spencer walk over to the cars to inspect them.

"The sheriff's department and the CHP are on tac alert. We've got choppers on round-the-clock freeway patrol. The victims' vehicles come with maps, CSPs, and bullet points. Everything we got on the case is in this room."

"Anything solid on the tip line?"

"The usual nutjobs, crime buffs, and bored senior citizens. Orange County has an endless supply of three things--freeways, news coverage, and blond female luxury car owners."

"Are people pretty scared?" Emily asks.

"I could ask for a submarine and get it."

You leave Rossi and Emily's side and head over to the crashed cars. You grab and slip on some gloves so you can touch the evidence. You always get a better reading when you can touch things unless the energy is strong enough for you to paint a picture with. The crashes happened too long for that to happen, so touching the cars is the next best thing.

"What can you see?" Hotch asks you.

"Give me a minute."

You run your hands over the sharp metal carefully, and you close your eyes to focus on the energy the cars still have. Yes, the crashes happened a while ago, but there will always be energy left on them no matter what. It fades over time, but it never really leaves.

The first car is the most special since it's the first in a spree, so you might get something from it more than the others. The victims' pictures are posted on a bulletin board, so you can see the first victim in her car driving down the road. There is a car speeding toward her on her left, and when she looks over, the unsub has a shotgun in his hands. He shoots her, and the car runs into a concrete median and flips in the air, landing on the top of the car.

He's a white man, and based on the fact that you can't see his face, you know he's the unsub.

"I see her on the freeway," you tell Hotch, "and she's talking on the phone. The unsub comes speeding toward her on the left. He shoots her closed driver's window and she hits a concrete median. Her car flips and it lands on the top of the car. He drives off like nothing happened. I can only see his skin color. He's Caucasian. If another accident happens, or if I can talk to Judy, I might get more off our unsub. The first one is usually important. It's the first time he started killing, though, he never killed her."

"Good job," Hotch praises. "The first MO in the first shooting differs dramatically from the other two. The first one is in daylight on a crowded freeway."

"That's dozens of potential witnesses. It's high-risk. He got lucky."

"Well, then, he's a fast study. He sawed off his shotgun and lowered his risk by switching to nights and changing vehicles."

"What if he wasn't planning on murder the first time?" you say. "We know what he's capable of when he plans ahead, so if he's not planning to commit a crime, it makes sense for him to drive his own vehicle."

"Then why did he have a gun in the SUV if he wasn't planning to commit murder? What happened to make him pull that first trigger?" Derek asks.

"As I said," you turn to Hotch, "I need to talk to Judy."

Hotch decides in order to keep Judy from feeling overwhelmed, only he and you are going to interview her. She is still in the ICU at the local hospital, and when you get there, you see her son in the room with her.

"Ms. Hannity, I'm agent Aaron Hotchner. This is agent Y/N. We're from the FBI."

"She already told the police everything she can remember," her son quickly comes to her defense.

"Rick... it's okay," Just whispers. Hotch takes Rick outside so you can be alone with Judy. When they're gone, you take a seat next to her bed and give her a warm smile. "It's just the two of us. He feels like it's his job to protect me."

"It's good that you two have each other. I understand you spoke with the police, but I'd like to go back to the shooting if you can."

"I don't remember much. It comes back in pieces."

This is where you come in.

"May I hold your hand?"

"Why?"

"I'm a psychic. I can help you recover lost memories if you are okay with it."

"Doesn't hurt to try, I guess."

Since she is paralyzed from the waist down, she can still move her arms to reach out for you. Instead of letting her waste her energy, you grab her hand gently in between both of yours. The trauma from the accident is still very high, so you use that to help paint a more accurate picture of who this unsub is.

"So, you were angry?" you ask with your eyes closed.

"More like impatient, I guess."

Judy comes up behind the unsub in his car, but you can't see the license plate number. It's blurred out because that's not what she was focusing on. It's not the most important thing in her mind at the time, so you won't be able to see it no matter how hard you try. She slams on her horn for him being too slow, and she eventually passes him in a huff of anger. She zooms past him and gets in front of him to show him how angry she is for him being too slow.

"You cut him off?" you ask.

"Yes."

"Was there anything else? Did he swear? Did he honk? Did he threaten you in any way?"

"He tried to speak to me."

The unsub pulls next to Judy's car on the right and tries to get her to roll down her window. From the corner of her eye, the unsub looks completely blurred out. When she faces him, most of him becomes clear for you to see. She was talking to someone on the phone, so she wasn't paying attention to any defining features, but her subconscious picked up a few things that you are able to see.

The unsub is an older white man with round glasses. He is balding on the top of his head, so whatever hair he has is in the back and on the sides, but it's not much. He's wearing a suit and tie like he works in an office building. You can't see his eyes or nose, but you've gotten a lot you can use for the profile.

Based on how he's dressed and how nervous and shy he is when he talks to Judy, you know the kind of man he is.

"What did he say?" you ask.

"He couldn't say anything. I wouldn't give him a chance." She says something to him that causes him to lash out in anger. You already know the result of his anger. You open your eyes and let go of her hand. "If he hadn't seemed so normal, I wouldn't have said anything. I usually don't even use my horn, because on the road... you never know."

"I'll ask your son to come back in."

You leave the room but hold the door open for Rick.

"Is she okay?"

"She will be with you by her side. She's lucky to have you." Rick goes back into his mom's room, and you shut the door behind him. "She made it personal. She got angry at him for driving too slowly. When he confronted her, she told him off and drove off."

"Did you see what he looks like?"

"He's an older white man. If I had to guess, I'd say he's in his mid-fifties. He's balding on the top of his head, and he wore a suit and tie. I think he works in an office building of some kind. He seemed nervous to talk to her like he was not confident in himself."

"Two for two," Hotch chuckles.

You two head back to the police station where the rest are talking to Thea.

Rancho Estates Long Beach: Your Gateway to Cliff May-Designed Homes

Rancho Estates, Long Beach, is located in the central area of Long Beach. It depicts the true essence of mid-century modern architecture and nature. This area has classical Cliff May-designed houses near El Dorado Park and Nature Center.

The neighborhood has many Cliff May-built domiciles, acknowledged for its mid-century modern style. Although the number of Cliff May works in the neighborhood is limited, his works were termed the father of the California ranch-style house.

Here's an in-depth look at what makes these homes so unique:

Mid-Century Modern Design

May's buildings perfectly reflect the mid-century modern style: simple and industrial shapes and indoor and outdoor connections. The homes in Rancho Estates feature: The homes in Rancho Estates feature:

Post and Beam Construction

Returning to the structural system, it is characterized by its openness and the possibility of creating vast, obstacle-free spaces. The exposed wooden beams are aesthetic, giving the building strength and a unique character.

Slab Foundations

This is in line with achieving the homes' contemporary simplicity due to the minimal visibility of the foundations, apart from the slab ones, which are more natural and blend with indoor and outdoor spaces.

Floor-to-Ceiling Windows

These windows characterize Cliff May's design, bringing much light into the interiors and providing clear views of the exteriors.

Indoor-Outdoor Flow

The continuity of interiors and exteriors is among the unique features of Cliff May homes. Single-level plans and structured hi-lo living can also characterize their houses. This is achieved through:

Landscaped Front Areas

Most of the houses in Rancho Estates have well-maintained front lawns, which enhance the front view of the homes and the appearance of the porches at the front of the homes.

Spacious Backyards

The rear yards generally comprise patios and other outdoor eating facilities incorporated into the rest of the house design.

Patios and Outdoor Living

Patios are designed to provide more living or relaxation space and space for outdoor dining, sitting, or enjoying the Californian climate.

Iconic Designs and Variations

No two houses in this community look like any other house in the neighborhood. Still, one factor holds the exterior design of these houses together: the architectural style.

Regarding the exterior, certain tendencies in roofs, windows, and other cladding contribute to what some may call' a friendly neighborhood.'

Apart from the peculiarities of architecture and recreational function, there is much to say about the Rancho Estates: It is a lively and well-situated territory. Here's what makes living in Rancho Estates unique. These are the features that make a home in Rancho Estates unique:

Community Atmosphere

Another feature of Rancho Estates is that people exist there, and, to top it off, they are friendly.

Local Schools: Rancho Estates has at some point been marked as having banner schools, making it a viable area for families with schooled children.

Shopping and Dining: It is still within close reach of shopping malls, restaurants, and other places of Recreation, which makes it favorable for those who wish to meet all their needs and indulge in acts that are regarded as a form of leisure.

Public Transportation: The other factor is the provision of estates for commercial and residential purposes with access to public transport, thus making transport linkages to other nearby areas easy for the people occupying the premises.

El Dorado Park and Nature Center: A Natural Oasis

El Dorado Park and Nature Center is an 800-acre park east of the Rancho Estates. Here's a closer look at what this park has to offer. Well, here is the breakdown of what this park has to present:

The park comprises several Piazzas for play and Recreation, each with a distinct value. Key features include:

Serene Lakes and Winding Streams: This part of the park allows individuals who enjoy fishing, having a picnic, or boarding a table to do so quasi-quietly.

105-Acre Nature Center: This part is designed to raise native fauna and flora and provide education and paths through nature for guests' convenience.

Hiking and Biking Trails: The trails include those trails physically used for hiking and biking and other dreams that transform the San Gabriel River to enhance the park's aesthetic natural resource value endowment.

Fishing Lakes: Some sections of the park are restricted to fishing; car lovers may want to go fishing to catch some species of fish in the park.

Sports Courts: A ten-and-basketball court and open sports activities facilities for athletic rejoicing.

Disc and Golf Courses: Disc and regular golf are also found in the park, making it suitable for all players, from amateurs to professionals.

Outdoor Adventure and Relaxation

Unwind and Recharge: They can watch and rest, or someone who wishes to be more productive can walk around the park or have a barbecue session at the lakeside.

Outdoor Adventures: Cycling, hiking, and sporting activities are available in and around the park.

Conclusion

The community is growing, and with the following future developments, there are expectations to increase the area's attractiveness. These may cover the development of structures within the region, the development of other facilities, or the improvement of several programs in a given society.

It is a Long Beach neighborhood that equally preserves points of architecture and fascinating landscapes. Its Cliff May-designed homes represent mid-century modern at their finest, and El Dorado Park and Nature Center is a vast recreational facility with much beautiful greenery.

Whether you admire the diverse architecture, are a nature lover, or are active people who appreciate the noisy and friendly community life, Rancho Estates presents you with a lifestyle true to the spirit of California.

The 1bd. 1ba Wheelhouse in Inverness, California was built in 2008 and is made mostly from recycled materials. Look at this very unusual house that was on the market for $2.4M.

Give a new meaning to the word Wheelhouse, doesn’t it?

So, this is the living room area with the round cement banquette and wood burning stove. The pony wall that separates the kitchen is made of cinder blocks.

I think this could be cool with the right decor and maybe a little color. It seems bland and so haphazard.

There’s only one bd. and this isn’t it, but the area looks like it could be for a child or guest.

In the bath, you can see the various recycled woods.

This would be the bedroom. It’s looks spacious and has a view of the enclosed deck. 

There’s an acre of land, and there are actually 2 homes b/c the architect, Daniel Liebermann built one for his parents first, then built another one for his wife and himself.

Hi P. As you live in US and in California, can you explain the thing that Sam brought the house but another name! Is it so that he played for it but it could be on his brother, or he can use an alias, or can he for a contract change his name and have another over there? How does it works?

Hi, Anon, I don't know how it works anywhere else, but in Los Angeles, addresses are public. You can look up anyone's address online. SO, to maintain privacy and safety, once an actor reaches a certain level of fame, they don't buy real estate under their name anymore. Many celebs buy property under a trust name or someone else's name. Someone I know knows a very famous actor, and she told me that all his properties are under his agent's name and/or a trust or company name. This way, people don't know where he lives.

Hollywood agents have hundreds of clients, so even if a fan had access to the MLS-Multiple Listing Service, (The MLS is a private database of all properties that's only accessible by licensed real estate agents and brokers), and looked up the name of an actor's agent, they wouldn't be able to know WHICH actor used their agent's name to buy a property. But most famous actors create a trust with a trust name and buy properties under that.

And yes, British citizens CAN buy properties in the US.

I hope that answers your question, Anon.

“We invited our new acquaintances from uptown. You’ve simply got to meet their oldest son!” said his mother with a flourish, and suddenly it became abundantly clear as to why his parents had so adamantly demanded he join them in Deansville for the entirety of the summer.

Against his wishes, Harry spends the holidays at his family’s summer estate, and is reluctantly pulled into a courtship he didn’t ask for. Harry doesn’t want to get married, but Louis does. They don’t fit, but then again they really, really do.

Vaguely set in the 1920’s. Headpieces, jazz, fashionable canes, and flapper dresses, and that.

The year is 1934 and Harry Styles was to inherent the largest tobacco firm in the south. His parents have picked out the “perfect” girl for him to marry and he has the privilege of receiving the highest education possible. The problem was, Harry hadn’t realized he didn’t actually want any part of that future until he met a mechanic named, Louis Tomlinson.

Through Eerie Chaos by MediaWhore

G, 102k

For as long as anyone can remember, Old Hillsbridge Manor has always been believed to be haunted. Everyone in the village agrees and keeps a respectful, fearful, distance. New in town after a bad breakup and an internship that led to disappointment rather than a permanent job, Harry Styles figures taking pictures of the decrepit building could be a great new creative project. Or at least a much-needed distraction while he searches for a job and crashes at his parents’ new house. No one warned him about the apparitions though; about the music, the laughter, the people who flicker and vanish when you call after them, the echoes of a past that should be long gone… Harry has never believed in spirits but even he can admit that there’s something weird going on. What starts as mere curiosity evolves into a full-blown investigation and soon enough, Harry finds himself making friends with an aristocrat from the 1920s and struggling with finding the best way to tell him that he’s dead. The Ghost Hunter AU where Niall lives to prove ghosts are real, Zayn is a skeptical librarian and Harry gets caught up in a century-old mystery and catches feeling in the process.

The year is 1976. In November, Jimmy Carter will take control of the White House. Americans are meeting Laverne & Shirley at their apartment in Milwaukee. Hotel California diverges from the reign of Kool & the Gang. And the FBI is still reeling from the repercussions of Watergate, the tragedy at Wounded Knee, Operation Family Secrets, and the strategic terrors of the anti-cult movement. That's what Special Agent Harry Styles has been told is the basis of his mission to an abandoned farmhouse in rural New Hampshire. With his hair grown out long and his shirt untucked, he's going undercover to do reconnaissance on suspected cult leader Louis Tomlinson, who has led a group of people out into the middle of nowhere, leaving no record of the life he'd had before. All Harry knows is what the agency gave him: Tomlinson's name, and instructions to figure out what he's doing with the eleven people he brought with him. In the year that Harry spends undercover and under Louis Tomlinson's wing, he learns more than he ever expected.

Here In The Afterglow by fondleeds

“If you hadn’t noticed, I don’t have many friends,” Louis whispers, the blossom of insecurity in his stomach unfurling and clawing its way into his throat. Harry is silent for a long time, and then he speaks; a soft, slow uncurl that makes Louis’ stomach shake. “I’ll be your friend.” - 1970’s AU. In a tiny town in Idaho, Louis’ life is changed forever by the arrival of a curious stranger.

Victorian Boy by audreyyheart

Victorian AU. Harry the virgin Duke of Somerset knows little of love, while Louis the sly Duke of Warwick knows too much.

But when secrets from Louis' dark past come to light, Harry fears that the fox isn't the only one being hunted.

Ever Since I Tried Your Way by flowercrownfemme

Harry had been kissed before, but never like this. He’d shared sweet, curious kisses behind bleachers and in soda shop booths, one or two more daring ones in cars parked on dark suburban streets, but the girls he’d kissed had never filled him with the desperation that erupted from Louis’ touch. He parted his lips and pulled him closer, as though he could breathe Louis straight into his lungs, as if he could swallow him. He wanted to consume Louis the way he consumed the body and blood of Christ. He wanted to place Louis on his tongue and feel him dissolve into a frothy mess of starch and saliva. He wanted to gulp him down until his teeth were stained purple and he was drunk on him. He wanted him in some violent holy way that made his hands shake where they were twisted in Louis’ shirt. In 1949 Harry left his bride at the altar, running away from the only life he'd known. When a kindhearted farmer offers him a ride in his truck and a place to sleep the two find themselves inexplicably drawn together. Isolated on Louis' farm with nobody but a field of dairy cows to intrude, the men are finally able to explore the parts of themselves they've spent their lives hiding away.

The story of a historical wedding night: in which Louis is quite unaware as to just how clueless his brand new husband is about sex. They try their best to figure it out together.

An Invincible Summer by Brooklyn_Babyloon

Never content to stay in one place for long, a few months down south researching for his novel seemed like an idyllic, slow-paced summer to Louis. He wasn't ready for the blistering heat, the backbreaking work of watermelon picking, or how stifling the attitudes in rural Georgia would feel. And he definitely hadn’t anticipated falling in love with the farmer’s son. The summer of 1946 would turn out to be everything worth writing about.

Louis Tomlinson lives the archetype of a successful man: he has a big white house, a gorgeous wife, and adorable daughters. Happiness is a superfluity, really. And his daughters' dimpled piano teacher is nothing more than a sinful distraction. 1950s AU.

Atlas At Last by louisandthealien

He doesn’t know what he had been expecting out of the road trip itself besides burping contests and too much shitty gas station food with Oli and Stan, but in the brief moment before Harry ambles up his driveway, Louis idly wonders if this is about to become some sort of Gay Coming of Age story. Maine to California in ten days. In which Zayn’s an open-shirt hippie they meet somewhere in Ohio, Liam’s the pastor’s son running away from home, and Niall’s the number they call on the bathroom wall. It’s 1978. Harry and Louis are just trying to get to San Fran in time for the Queen concert.

Box of Rain by indierection (amandamoraisa)

M, 26k

Louis is definitely not the next Muhammad Ali, just an illegal boxer with no prospects for the future. Harry is a hippie Uni student that in his free time informally works as a ring boy. Somehow he manages to always get tangled on the ropes and at the same time charm the pants off of all the fighters and patrons. They meet in Manchester in 1977 and, even though they don't seem to have much in common, they... Well, they just sort of click, really. - The one with a friendship ruiner game of Monopoly, Harry always ending up in jail for wanting to save the world, Louis face to face with his archenemy and way too many references to 70s music. Also staring Zayn as a brooding anarchist punk rocker, Liam as the nerdiest and nicest boxer in all Britain and Niall as a bookmarker that can easily convince people to bet fortunes, but can't make his friends realise their mutual crush on each other.

it’s funny how we’re all scrambling with anthony moving away from la that we’re basically scouting nearby housing locations for him to cope. next move is practically gonna be looking at the real estate listings for him.

I'm laughing cause you're spot on. Suddenly, Smoshblr gets very good at researching neighborhoods in California outside of LA. And we all start getting on Zillow.
