I can’t believe this happened. @ihearthemcallingforyou @andwhenshesays

I don't know if anyone has ever said or if it's just me, but one thing I really appreciate about your writing is that you tend to be vague when it comes to the MC in your stories.(Unless I just don't remember descriptions lol) And even when you put a face to one, like your Lighthouse contact thing, you still put a note stating to picture MC how we want. I don't ever picture myself in these fics, but it's nice to think of someone who might be more like me. Plus size, awkward. Lol So thank you! 💜

omg no you def don’t remember descriptions because there aren’t any!! i really try to make it a point to never focus on anything too specific when it comes to the mc’s appearance. i want it to be vague, i want it to be inclusive. 

i’ve learned a lot about how to do that over time. especially when it comes to sex scenes, i think i’ve found a balanced way to still make it passionate without being too detailed on specifics. i’ve just found other things to focus on, if that makes sense? like i remember one of my earlier pieces (i think it was no other man) tile beta read it for me and she pointed out something about a blush and it was so easy to switch it from a description of the color on mc’s skin to warmth spreading across her cheeks - something she was feeling rather than something harry was seeing. and same thing when it comes to skinny vs plus size.  im never going to talk about feeling bones or anything like that lol in all honesty i’m typically picturing someone plus size. so its grabbing flesh rather than thumbs digging into hip bones, things like that. 

anyway!! so many words lol thank you for noticing jess bc i do try to keep it vague on purpose ❤️

Just wanted to say thanks for being drama free. I really enjoy following you and when you occasionally express an opinion or something, I tend to agree with what you have to say. So thanks!

Awww.  Thanks for this lovely message.  I don’t enjoy the drama myself since I’m here to have fun, but sometimes I just have to speak up about the misogyny in this fandom.  And, of course, I’m L*rrie-free.  I really just want to celebrate the beautiful human (inside and out) that is Harry Styles.

The two things in one fic? Or two separate fics? I am so here for friends with benefits, btw!

Thinking about a two in one scenario! I’ve never really done either and I really like the idea I’ve been hiding in my brain for the last month or so! Baby Daddy with a Friends with Benefits vibe!

It’s so scary but I really do think it’s the right move. You were so much more at peace when you were unemployed this spring.

Yes good luck! This sounds like the right thing.

Sending you love! ❤❤❤

Thanks for the love and cheerleading! I know what needs to be done, but my bravery and sense of certainty fluctuates and wavers. I just need to hold my resolve and not let myself get talked into keeping “just a few shifts”... because it’s never just anything there.

Now I just need to reignite my academic brain, and remember how to read to absorb information rather than as relaxation!

Love you!! ❤️

i came across your fic through my dash somehow, i didn't follow shawn blogs, so i have no idea even who i found it through. i went on a little spam of your fic. you followed me, i followed you and the rest is, as they say, history. and now your stuck with me. through all the good, the bad, and the ugly drama. :D

Jessssssss 💖 I love you...and just for this....I give you thighs

God god. Why is this still a thing? I hiaven't watched (and probably wont), but happy to hear he handled it well, like usual.

spaceorphan18 replied to your post “I get really bad 2nd hand embarrassment what was Darren asked in that...”

Oh my god, someone asked him that??

I know! I was just as surprised to hear the question as he was. It’s been a long time since people have focused on that kind of thing in his interviews. 

We should all be grateful the ACS press was more focused on the whole killing people thing. If the media had harped on about the emotional struggle of kissing men (instead of stabbing them) I would have had to give up on the world.

ihearthemcallingforyou replied to your post: Anyone posted the new story on Chris Colfer’s...

the news blog will probably post it eventually. but i’ll post it now if you want!

If you’d like! I mean I’ve seen it but I feel like everyone must see it because I will reiterate: he looks good

@ihearthemcallingforyou was passing though on her way home from visiting her mom, and texted me this, and like...this is the kind of friendship that everyone deserves.   

[for-fucks-sake-h]

A good one 😏 thank you Jess i love you! 

He hummed softly when you leaned in the half an inch needed to connect your lips, sipping a slow kiss from his plush mouth.

#148: Why do you only kiss me when Ii'm sleeping? -- PLEASE? Thank you.

Hi, sorry I’m late as fuck to start responding to these prompts. Here’s my take on this one!

x

The show is over. Harry’s off the stage before the others have finished their final bow. The roar of the packed arena follows him backstage, trailing along the halls until he closes his dressing room door against the sound. Now it sounds like whispers somewhere far off having a good time without him.

Harry whips off his sweaty shirt and unclips his own mic pack, leaving it on the table beside the microphone he forgot to drop off at the sound table.

Niall comes in the room when Harry’s fumbling with the ankles of his skinny jeans, trying to kick them over his heels unsuccessfully; he’s bent over, unfurling the fabric to ease it over and trying not to fall when Niall says something about running off and closes the door behind him.

“Wanted to be first to shower,” Harry says. When he finally stands up again after getting his jeans off, his face is redder than it was whilst running around on stage.

“Of course,” Niall nods, doing some dramatic in-air twist as he throws himself onto the couch on his back. “My room later?”

“Yeah,” Harry agrees, unabashedly taking off his briefs and socks as he goes into the bathroom, leaving the door open a few inches-- he doesn’t know why he always does it when Niall’s around, whether it’s some primal display of wanting to be fucked or a subconscious signal that he feels comfortable with Niall, he isn’t sure. Niall doesn’t ask or indulge.

Harry lingers in the shower, letting the hot water turn his skin red and ease out the ache in his muscles. When he’s out and after he’s wrapped a fluffy white towel around his hips, he finds Niall just where he left him, except now his discarded clothes are in a pile in one chair and his mic pack isn’t on the table.

“You aren’t cleaning up after me, are you?”

“No,” Niall says, hardly glancing up from his phone as Harry wanders past. “Lou came by.”

Harry stops and turns to look at Niall over his shoulder as he pulls a new t-shirt from the clothes rack in the corner.

“Lou Teasdale touched my dirty clothes?”

Niall looks up from his phone and grins but says nothing.

“Thought so,” Harry chuffs, pulling the plain black t-shirt on over his dripping hair. He takes the towel from his waist and drapes it around his shoulders so he can step into a loose pair of basketball shorts that actually turn out to not be that loose.

“Are these yours?” he asks, turning to Niall.

“Think so,” Niall chuckles. “Let’s hope there aren’t fans outside when we go back to the hotel ‘cause it’s sure obvious you’re not wearing boxers.”

“Wouldn’t make a difference if I was,” Harry mumbles, stepping into the pair of hotel-branded slippers he came to the arena in that afternoon.

“Have we just got one more night here? Or two?”

“Two,” Niall says, dropping his phone onto his chest. “We sold three bloody nights at MSG. Isn’t that crazy?”

Harry watches Niall drag a hand through his dark-rooted blond hair and stare at the ceiling with shock written all over his face.

“I never thought we’d be here,” Harry says.

“Me either.

“Oh, a few of the others were talking about going out for drinks after.”

“Oh. Do you wanna go?”

“No, I was just letting you know. They’re going off in the vans. We’re gonna take a bus back whenever you’re ready.”

Harry glances down at his crotch and hopes Niall was only joking earlier.

“I’m ready when you are. You don’t wanna shower here?”

“Nah, I wanna jump straight in bed after my shower,” Niall says, getting up with a laborious sigh.

It feels like a waste sending a whole bus with only two people. Harry sits on one side of the aisle and Niall sits on the other, trying to get something on the telly while they make the very short journey from the venue to their hotel. By the time Harry’s ready to speak up and say it’s too late for there to be anything interesting on, the bus has already parked.

“That was the quietest ride we’ve ever had,” the driver says as Harry and Niall make their way to the exit. “Even just the two of you were quieter than normal. Get some rest.”

“You too,” Harry says politely, and Niall gives his own longer drawn out pleasantries as he says goodnight.

Harry can hear the patter of his feet against the blacktop as Niall jogs to catch up with him.

“You running off without me?”

“Would’ve waited for you at the elevator.”

“How thoughtful,” Niall laughs.

In Niall’s room, Harry finds his phone on the bedside table exactly where he’d left it that afternoon when the band left for rehearsals. He sits on the edge of the queen sized bed and slowly ticks through his notifications: Twitter mentions from verified accounts for people he doesn’t know, Instagram telling him someone he follows has posted a new story, a thousand and one new messages on both apps.

Harry sends Anne a message-- “Hi mum, just finished a show and turning in for the night. Love you, miss you. xx”-- and sets his alarm for 5 a.m. the next morning so he can squeeze in a workout before many people are up and in the hotel gym.

Niall’s shower has stopped, and as Harry kicks off his hotel slippers and turns on the lamp on his nightstand, the bathroom door opens with a puff of steam and Niall comes out, rubbing a towel against his hair, wearing an outfit similar to Harry’s.

“Time is it?”

“Almost 11:30.”

“Brilliant. Not much to do tomorrow. We’ll catch up on our sleep.”

“I’m waking up at 5 to work out. Wanna come with?”

“Probably not but we’ll see in the morning how I’m feeling.”

Niall drapes his damp towel across the arm of the desk chair and turns the main light out. He crawls into bed opposite Harry, and when he’s settled down into the covers, Harry turns off his lamp and settles down as well.

“G’night, Harry.”

“Night, Niall.”

Harry knows Niall will be knocked out in just a moment, so he stays still even though he isn’t that sleepy-- maybe if he stares at the dim light coming in from the edge of the curtains, he’ll think of a new hit for the final album.

After several minutes of nothing but the sounds of Niall’s breathing slowly finding a rhythm, Harry turns carefully and kisses Niall’s cheek, holding for several seconds before drawing back and pulling the blankets up around his shoulders. Over the stiff rustling of fabric, he hears Niall’s groggy voice.

“Why do you only kiss me when I’m sleeping?”

Harry’s tiny gasp gives him away when he tries to pretend that he’s suddenly asleep, or maybe not there at all. Niall turns to face Harry, and after another moment of silence, punch him in the arm.

“I know you’re awake, H. Why do you do that?”

“I dunno,” Harry mumbles, trying to see Niall in the darkness.

“Dunno?”

“I don’t,” Harry says. “It’s no big deal. Just a kiss on the cheek.”

“Yeah but you do it nearly every night and you never say anything about it.”

“So?”

“So?” Niall copies. “Is there something maybe you wanna tell me, or…?”

Harry’s heart flutters as he thinks of all the words he could say right now. I kinda really like you or I’d really like to kiss you on the mouth or I’m too afraid to kiss you in the daytime even though I think I’m reading the signs right and I think you like me too but I don’t wanna make a move because I’d hate to ruin what we have in case I’m wrong.

“No,” he says softly. “Just… think you look like you need a kiss goodnight is all.”

Niall chuckles through his nose and leans over, haphazardly pressing a kiss into whatever skin he lands on -- much to Harry’s surprise and delight, the kiss is just on the corner of his mouth, going down toward his chin.

“Well goodnight, H. Let me know next time I look like I need a kiss.”

“Will do.”

Niall turns onto his other side again, and Harry turns onto his as well. In the darkness, with their backs turned, they fall asleep with identical grins, Niall’s smug and knowing, Harry’s giddy and shy.

replied to your post “The plot is a mess, the dialogue clunky, and a lot of what’s happening...”

oof. .i've been putting it off just because of what everyone is saying about it. and i was really looking forward to it tbh.

I mean....I think if you set your expectations a little low and you just maybe forgive the fact that it’s a super rushed plot that doesn’t make much sense....well. You might be able to squint at it enough to enjoy it?? But in all seriousness, Darren is adorable and charming (after the opening few scenes where he’s kind of a douche), and it’s nice to see him on screen. Um. And that’s about it.

I suggest booze and maybe dessert with this one.

why would you get shit for going to harry's show? it's not like you can go to niall's show, unforunately. this whole "it's either harry OR niall" thing is ridiculous in this fandom.

twitter is very toxic and that’s why i’m trying to leave it. it’s very one or the other, and that’s not how it should be! you should be able to do what you want! unfortunately, that isn’t how it is right now, and i’m coming to terms with a lot all at once. i’ll be okay!
