The Haunting of Bly Manor 1.05 – "The Alter of the Dead"

[dailytxf]

3.08 – "Oubliette"

[alwaysxlarrie]

10 fav quotes from fics part 9 !!

it's a bit harder than i initially anticipated picking quotes for each post, especially when i've been compiling them for a year and i only do 10 quotes per post lol so big thank u to my bff @harruandlou for helping me w this one -- you're a gem n a half !!

“With, um, a small swirl of whipped cream,” Harry continues, desperate to stop talking, stop talking, oh my god, stop fucking talking. “Covered in um… a pinch of cinnamon?” -- @disgruntledkittenface

Louis smiles and oh. Oh that is not fucking fair. Because Harry is sat here hard and panting, Louis’s lips are glistening with spit because he’s just been sucking on Harry’s tits and his fingers are still massaging the head of his cock in a way that’s slowly turning him blind, and yet Louis’ smile scrunches his nose and creases his eyes and he looks absolutely, devastatingly adorable. — @zanniscaramouche

He does know. He knows what he is to Louis, and what he isn’t. He’s grateful for what he can get, and he’s in agony for all that he wishes he was. -- @loveislarryislove

Harry doesn't want to timidly look away again, as it only makes him seem more obvious, but he can’t not look away. Louis' gaze goes straight to his core, settles somewhere deep in his belly, and Harry really doesn't want to pop a boner in front of the entire class. -- @larrydoinglaundry

He’s been called a lot of compliments, many of them by Louis himself, but precious is a bit different, isn’t it? Softer, prettier, lovelier.-- @ohpleaselarry

Of course, Harry hadn’t worn any underwear. -- @suesheroll

Harry paused at the door for a moment and then spoke quietly, without turning around. “I’ve never worn a skirt before, sir.” -- @twopoppies

“Says the twink past his prime,” Louis rolled his eyes. -- @jaerie

He barely fought it, in fact, he might not have fought Louis’ alpha voice at all. He just basked in the way Louis’ eyes felt like they were burning his skin as he walked closer to him, his omega obeying as best as it could. -- @lululawrence

With another hand, Harry took a long sip of water, ice-cold shocking his mind back to the present. Calm down. Think about something else. Okay. Taxes, the weather, football, Louis, Louis's voice -- No, not Louis! -- @muldxr

HL Fic Library 🟠 1980's Fics

Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.

⭐ We Were Such Fools by kiddle / @bluejeanlouis (M, 98k)

Rule #1: The Rewind Machine cannot be used to change the past, only to experience it. History will reset itself to the original timeline every 24 hours.

On his fiftieth birthday, two things are consuming Harry’s mind: what he’s going to make the kids for dinner tonight, and the fact that his marriage is crumbling at his feet.

So, when his best friend gifts him the trip of a lifetime, Harry chooses to venture off to the summer that set his life on its course—all the way back in 1987, California.

It only took him one summer to fall in love with his husband the first time around. How hard could starting all over really be?

⭐ modern love by prettyoddnjh (T, 72k)

It's August 9th, 1985. "Shout" by Tears for Fears is the top song on the Billboard charts, Back to the Future has been the #1 film in the country for five weeks straight, and Harry has just moved to what he thinks is probably the shittiest town in the Midwest.

Louis has been wasting away in East Chicago for over five years, Harry is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to him, and both of them are hiding a dangerous secret from their best friend: they're, like, totally sprung on each other.

⭐ The World Turned Upside Down by dogslpdi / @dogsliampaynedoesntinstagram (E, 71k)

In September 1984, Harry Styles starts at Manchester Polytechnic with two goals: to take pictures and to join the Lesbian and Gay Society. He’s never paid much attention to the news, but everyone he meets in Manchester supports the miners. He realises how right they are when he meets Louis Tomlinson, a striking miner who flirts with him. A month later they are both at the founding meeting of Manchester Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, trying to bring down the government. Through letters and visits they build a relationship, in a world very much not of their own choosing.

Manchester and Doncaster in the 1980s are grim, hopeful and alive. Niall is president of the Young Labour club, Nick Grimshaw is in love with the singer of an up and coming band, Fizzy wants to know more about the women of Greenham Common and Harry and Louis are brave.

A Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners/Pride AU.

⭐ Among Lavender Fields by @homosociallyyours (E, 70k)

At twenty-one, Louis Tomlinson is more than ready to shed the girl next door image that's been with her since her entry into film in her childhood, but with a mother and father steeped in Hollywood tradition it's felt impossible. Meanwhile, Harry Styles is a young, struggling musician new to London, friendless yet eager for the next phase of her life to begin.

When French director Marie Coutard casts the two of them in her film, it's a chance for both to break away from the people they've been. Together, they struggle through an acting process that's new and unfamiliar for both of them, learning more than they could've imagined about themselves along the way. As they spend long days picking lavender and long nights sharing the things they've never been able to tell anyone else, their love blooms.

Will the flower fade, or will the love they make among lavender fields be one they carry with them to the end?

⭐ HL 80s nyc verse (series) by superglass (M, 51k)

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?”

or In the midst of the AIDS crisis, Harry meets Louis after coming home from a drag ball. 80s NYC au.

⭐ what this world is about by isntrio / @bloubird (E, 34k)

An eighties American high school AU; there are first times, football games, and feelings.

Alternatively titled: the beginning.

⭐ What Happened to 'Never Say Die'? by kiddle / @bluejeanlouis (T, 28k)

The ‘80s were one of the best decades to be a teenager in America. Just ask anyone who's seen a John Hughes movie. Louis would beg to differ. At least today he would, while he was stuck cleaning out his family's basement - part of his grounding after a senior prank gone wrong. But when he finds a box containing details of the biggest unsolved crime in Luna Hills, he and his friends decide to sneak out for one last adventure before they're all off to college. That is, as long as the mayor, who also happens to be Louis' mother, doesn't stop them before they discover the truth.

Or, a coming of age American AU inspired by classic ‘80s movies like The Goonies and Stand By Me where everyone has a secret and no one wants to get caught.

⭐ Never Meant to Be So Bad to You by harriblou (M, 27k)

Louis hated Harry and his stupid confidence and his handsome face and his deep voice and his stupid jeans and his stupid smile and his stupid existence. He hated Harry, always had and always will. They’d never gotten along and Louis wasn’t sure how it started, but he knows that Harry was put onto this earth to bug the hell out of Louis. Being trapped inside of an arcade with him was hell and it hadn't been a full minute.

or the 80's Arcade AU that no one asked for about how louis and harry hate each other (not really) and have an intense rivalry over video games. featuring liam niall and zayn as the friends who help them sort themselves out.

⭐ Lean On My Shoulder (I See Myself With You) by Jennifer_Kaid / @poetsreprieve (E, 19k)

Speaking of the views, there was someone on his balcony. The sun was still setting, making this person look even more ethereal. They seemed to be at content at being alone. Harry watched as they watered the plants, they certainly didn't look like they were amongst the help.

Curiosity got the best of him and he decided to invade this stranger's quiet time; the Prince could be selfish sometimes.

"When you love something, you help them grow."

⭐ enter exit (enter) by @louisandthealien (M, 17k)

When he’s finally in the hotel, crammed into the tiny phone booth, all he can do is stare at the faded paper sign glaring down at him from the wall.

1 Minute = 11.82 USD Mexico --> United States

He has less than a minute to break his boyfriend’s heart, and it’s going to cost him twelve bucks to do it.

There’s sand under his fingernails as he dials the number.

⭐ after hours by @muldxr (E, 16k)

Harry moves like lightning as he slides the books off the shelves into the open, waiting abyss of his bag. Then, as Louis clears the other end of the exhibit just as quickly, he moves on to the display case next to it and the one after that. One flimsy book practically flies open as he picks it up, the paper held together by feeble strings on the spine. He leaves it behind. Not worth selling.

Or, a crime au set in 1980s Chicago.

⭐ honey, honey by resurrectdead / @artxghoul (E, 13k)

It just feels weird to not be able to tell his own mum about how nervous yet over the fucking moon happy he is right now, because this tape isn’t for neither Niall nor Liam. It’s for, well.It’s for Harry bloody Styles. The boy that makes his insides feel like sunshine.

Or: It’s 1988, and Louis has to make a mixtape for Harry

⭐ Haunting Beauty by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou (G, 6k)

It’s 1988. Harry has just finished his first year of teaching English and looks forward to a relaxed break. Louis is a poltergeist and has different plans for Harry’s summer.

⭐ the sound of my heart needs the sound of another heart by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry (G, 2k)

In the summer of '83, Louis is fifteen years old and in love.

⭐ Glad to be Gay by Stria / @nooradeservedbetter (T, 2k)

It's the same old story all over the world When a boy meets a boy and a girl meets a girl We all come together cos we're happy to say It's a natural fact that it's good to be gay

[Or, it's the 80s. Harry and Louis are together.]

trick or treat!! 🐈‍⬛

this is up to you if this is a trick or a treat 😂

[holyshit]

hi kay

i finished s1 the leftovers and i have so many questions!!!! i LOVED the s1 finale it was insannnneeeee good i shouldve made popcorn. and right now i'm at s2 where kevin + nora are moving in to the new town (and kevin is going Through So Much) i really love the new side characters! please tell me i won't be hurt once again by them </3

i hope u have a good night now <3 xoxo

ahhh exciting!!!!!! s1 finale was such a wild ride- like those last 3 episodes in general are A Lot and leave me in shambles every time. like i can cry even just thinking about some scenes lmao like kevin talking to matt at the diner (i think?), like fuuuuck. season 2 is probably my favourite season overall, i love it dearly, and something i love about this show is how completely different each season feels while still keeping its same emotional core, if that makes sense. it feels like a fully different show sometimes while still affecting me just as much if not more. like a lot of people don't like season 1 (which?? i don't get?? but also i love being sad) but then fucking love season 2. however it very much will hurt you again i'm sorry </3. like a lot a lot. and definitely let me know when you get to episode 8 because it is SPECIAL. you'll know it when you see it sdkjgndjkf. anyway thank you & hope you are doing well, i miss youuuu!!!

[crippleprophet]

trick or treat!! 👻

i hope you had a wonderful halloween!!

[oflights]

hello! 25 and 36 for the ask game (or pick one you want to answer the most!)

hello!! thank you for these!

25. Is writing the whole thing beforehand better or worse than writing it as you go?

i think this is like, for posting wips, right? in which case i'd say the first option is def better; i've only ever done the second option once before, way back in tsn fandom (rip kink meme, you will always be famous) and that was such a bottled experience that i don't think i could ever replicate it without going nuts.

but!! i have kind of wanted to try writing as i post for a drarry idea i have, i just have no idea if it would work out or not. most people waited for my wips to finish posting before reading them, even when they were completed already; i don't know that my fics appeal to an audience that reads along, so it would be an experiment.

26. What would you describe as OOC?

asjdlksajdsa there's no way i have a good answer for this one lol. i'm writing in a fandom where i am incredibly, vocally disdainful of canon so maybe my fics are all OOC? and maybe that's okay?? i've also long written in fandoms where fanon has formed so much of characterization and that's so personal for everyone that this just isn't a question i get bogged down by anymore. i'm sorry!!

ask me writing asks!!!

Category: F/M | Fandom: X-Files | Ship: Mulder/Scully (MSR)

Rating: Mature | Words: 3,127 | Chapters: 1/? | Author: scullyphile

Scully is a Vampire AU for: @thescullyphile

Summary:

“He doesn’t suspect a thing, does he? Your partner.” Ronnie says. He looks around him, at his car, at the pizza, at something far in the distance, but not at her. At least he’s showing some deference. That gives her something to work with. Scully pulls the muscles of her face into a hard mask. She can’t show weakness. The pizza has led her to Ronnie, and Ronnie can’t be trusted. “And he can’t know. He will never know. Do you understand me? If you breathe a word of this to Agent Mulder, I’ll put a stake through your heart myself. I’ll chop you into multiple pieces and drop those pieces into separate seas.” Alternate universe where Scully has been a vampire the entire time, right under her partner's nose.

After all, through the good times and the bad, it's always been the two of them, together.
