[harrywavycurly]

Can you imagine you’re on your couch enjoying your second glass of wine and on your Bumble account, just checking to see if anyone new has joined recently that strikes your fancy when you come across a very recognizable photo of Harry. Making you instantly go to his profile and feeling a bit unsure about it since it’s not the most detailed thing on the planet and filled with things that someone could easily find on Google. But you decide to swipe on him anyway just to see what happens, and to your shock it says you’ve matched so it’s up to you to send the first message, that’s why you enjoy Bumble because it lets you control if and when you send someone you match with a message.

Thinking that this profile can’t actually belong to the real Harry Styles you quickly type out something silly that even a Harry imposter would probably get a laugh out of, hitting send before taking another sip of wine while you read the message again giggling to yourself.

“If it stays between just us can you please tell me if Olivia is a person, place, emotion or if it really did just rhyme?”

You expect the person to take a while to respond so you feel your eyes go a bit wide when you see a message suddenly appear underneath yours.

“Sorry I can’t talk about songs that aren’t fully finished yet but…I mean picking a word just because it rhymes? Talk about lazy songwriting.”

You lean your head back and laugh at what they sent you and for a moment, just a brief one, you think it might actually be Harry Styles who just messaged you on Bumble. But you quickly shake it off and assume this is just a very good Harry impersonator who knows the lore of Olivia not being finished and the lazy songwriting quote that was said back in an interview with Niall. So thinking nothing of it you message him back.

“Oh well since it’s not fully finished may I make a suggestion?”

You barely have time to take a sip of wine before a new message appears from “Harry” making you smile.

“I’m listening…”

You bite back a giggle as you type out one word, and it’s not the word the person you’re messaging is probably expecting if they really do know their Harry facts.

“Saxophones.”

But unbeknownst to you only a few miles away tucked into the corner of his couch in his dimly lit living room Harry is laughing as he holds his phone in one hand and his whiskey glass in the other as he reads your suggestion. Taking a quick sip of his drink before leaning over and placing it on his coffee table his thumbs are typing back a message and hitting send before he’s even fully leaning back and getting comfortable again.

“You know what? That’s brilliant. I was thinking it needed some horns.”

Harry chews hit bottom lip as he waits for you to reply, a grin taking over his face when he sees your message appear just below his. He can’t help but find himself intensely enjoying the way the conversation, as silly as it may be, flows between the two of you making his nerves about even wanting to join the app fade away with each new message he receives from you.

“Don’t worry I won’t make you credit me or anything. At least this time.”

He doesn’t let even a minute go by before he’s hitting send on his reply and he wonders if you’re possibly doing something similar to him right now, just having an evening in with a drink and smiling at your phone like an idiot.

“Ah so your next suggestion won’t be free then? Is that what you’re saying?”

He runs a hand through his hair as he waits for you to say something, not sure if maybe he accidentally ruined the fun and easy tone of the conversation but before he can really begin to overthink anything he sees a message appear from you making him let out a quiet chuckle.

“Exactly.”

book thief - niall horan

an: hellooo!!!! i was reading at the beach and could not get this idea out of my head so HERE WE ARE!! i hope you enjoy :) I'm cooking up part two right now

summary: a trip to bora bora leads to bumping into niall horan by the pool and accidentally swapping books!

wc: 1.8k

what i was listening to:

As I disembark from the plane, weary from the long flight and craving a good meal, I step into the Bora Bora airport. I've treated myself to a solo stay at a delightful resort here for the week, and the anticipation of this moment has been a beacon of joy during my busy days back in NYC. I yearn for some well-deserved relaxation, as the incessant bustle of New York's streets and blaring car horns can be overwhelming at times. As I make my way towards the baggage claim area, I take a moment to savor the view from the airport windows. Though it's just a glimpse, I can see fragments of swaying palm trees, and a sense of tranquility washes over me. Leaning against the baggage trolley, I pause, eagerly awaiting the familiar "beep" that signals the arrival of our luggage.

I catch sight of my obnoxious purple suitcase as it comes around the conveyor belt and quickly snatch it before heading over to the shuttle bus waiting to take me to the resort. After stowing my suitcase in the overhead compartment, I sink into the luxurious seat on the bus. While waiting for the other passengers to board, I take a moment to text my friends and family to let them know I've arrived. The bus engine roars to life as we set off down the road. I glance up from my phone and out of the window, cranking up the music in my headphones. I take in the beautiful scenery as we wind our way toward the resort. Looking around at my fellow passengers, I notice that they are all families and couples. A faint feeling of loneliness creeps in as I realize I'm traveling alone.

I let out a deep sigh, gazing out of the window at the serene, azure skies and the gentle, rhythmic dance of the palm trees swaying in the breeze, attempting to distract myself from the overwhelming sense of isolation.

As the shuttle comes to a stop at the resort, the passengers begin to disembark, and I patiently wait for my turn. Once off the shuttle, I make my way to the front desk with my bags, eagerly anticipating some rest and relaxation in my room. I provide my name and reservation to the woman at the front desk, and the concierge swiftly arranges for my bags to be taken up to my room. The humidity of the Polynesian air causes my t-shirt to cling to my skin as I wait. 

While the woman prepares my room key, I glance at a man nearby who is also checking in. His accent intrigues me, and I find myself admiring his appearance. I'm momentarily lost in thought until the woman's clearing of her throat brings me back to the present. After receiving the room key, I exchange a tight smile with the woman and mutter a quiet 'thank you.' As I head towards the elevator, I briefly meet the man's gaze before pressing the button and entering the elevator. I select the third floor, my hand tightening around the room key as the elevator ascends.

I stumble into my room, weary from the day's travel, and collapse onto the plush duvet covering the bed. Propping myself up on my elbows, I take in the surroundings. The TV faces the foot of the bed, and a familiar mini fridge rests beneath it. To the side, a closet is built into the wall, and opposite that, a sleek desk catches my eye. Across from the entrance, a sliding glass door beckons me to venture out onto the petite balcony. I rise to my feet and make my way to the small mezzanine, stepping outside to be embraced by a balmy breeze and a mesmerizing vista. I pause, closing my eyes, letting the scenery wash over me.

After re-entering the room, I gently closed the door and made my way to the luxurious en suite bathroom. I marveled at the elegant plumbing and the spacious, extravagant shower. I couldn't help but let out a whistle of admiration, feeling impressed by the lavish amenities, almost forgetting that I had only booked this place for a week but paid the equivalent of a month's rent.

I let out a contented sigh and realized that I deserved to unwind by the pool for the rest of the day. Without bothering to unpack, I quickly slip into the first bikini I lay my eyes on - a vibrant, eye-catching pink one. After ensuring that I'm thoroughly coated in sunscreen and throwing on a comfortable t-shirt for extra coverage, I grab my purse and the book I've been meaning to read. As I make my way out, I return to the elevator and descend back down to the lobby.

I hurry downstairs and make a beeline for the pool, scanning for an unoccupied, plush reclining chair. As soon as I find one, I eagerly lay down my belongings beside it, exhaling contentedly. After slipping on my sunglasses and discarding my t-shirt, I settle back, flipping through the pages of my book to pick up where I left off during the plane ride. The book in my hands is 'Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass' by Lana Del Rey. It may seem a bit unexpected for a beach trip, but I have a fondness for poetry and adore Lana Del Rey, so I thought it was worth a chance. Immersing myself back into the pages, I lose track of time, captured by the words on the pages.

I slowly rise from my lounge chair, feeling the stickiness on my back from the sun's rays. Deciding it's time to take a break from tanning, I toss my book onto my chair and head towards the glistening pool to cool off. As I settle by the water's edge, I take in the mesmerizing sight of the swirling pool while dipping my toes into the refreshing water. Surprisingly, the area is deserted, giving me the perfect opportunity to submerge myself in the pool. I resurface, gently wiping my eyes before reclining on my back and savoring a tranquil moment, finding relief from the intense heat of the island air.

I emerge from the water, climbing the steps in the shallow end. The droplets slide off my glistening skin as I make my way to my chair. As I approach, I notice a man sitting in the chair next to mine. I recognize him as the guy I saw in the lobby, engrossed in a book. I glance around at the empty seats on the pool deck, wondering why he chose the one next to me, and furrow my brow in mild irritation. Despite my annoyance, I take a moment to study his appearance. His unkempt brown hair and pointed nose catch my attention, as does the way his scruffy stubble complements his deep blue eyes. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I finally reach for my towel. I clear my throat to catch his attention and he looks up from his book, smiling softly. He gestures to the book in his hand and I immediately clock it as ‘Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass', the same one I’m reading. I glance down at my chair in search of my copy, not completely sure he didn’t swipe mine. I clear my throat to capture his attention before speaking.

"Excuse me?" I managed to pipe up, my voice a blend of nervousness and amusement. "I think that might be my book." With my towel wrapped tightly around me, I glanced down at him. He met my gaze and then looked down at the book in his hands before responding.

"Oops, my mistake," he chuckled and handed the book back to me. "I noticed it here and thought someone must have left it behind. The title seemed intriguing." I reclaimed the book and settled back into my chair. "I didn't even realize you were here, geez. If I had known, I wouldn't have sat so close." His over-apologetic tone made me chuckle softly.

"No, it's okay. I'm traveling alone, so I appreciate the company," I assured him, readjusting in my seat. "Have you read it? It's a good book, isn't it?" I say enthusiastically as I glance back at him, thumbing through the pages again. He nods before replying.

"Absolutely! I can't resist a well-crafted poem," he responds with a nod, gesturing toward the book of poems resting on the arm of his lounge chair. I let out a soft chuckle in response. 

"Ah, cool. Nice to meet another poetry enthusiast," I say with a smile before returning my attention to my book. I sense his persistent gaze on me before he speaks again.

"You mentioned you're traveling alone?" he inquires. "So am I." I look up from my book, slightly puzzled. 

"You? Why's that?" I ask, marking my place in the book and placing it on my lap. 

"You first," he counter-challenges. 

I shrug before responding, "Just needed a break. New York can be overwhelming at times, and none of my friends were up for splurging on a vacation," I explain, gesturing dramatically. "So, here I am, flying solo." I give a somewhat forced grin, and he chuckles. 

"Same here," he remarks, leaning back in his beach chair. "You mentioned New York City? Sounds exciting," he comments. I nod slightly.

"Yeah, mostly. How about you?" I inquired, curious to confirm my suspicion about his distinct accent. 

"Dublin," he declares proudly. "Dublin, Ireland." I raise an eyebrow. 

"So that's where the accent comes from," I remark slowly, raising an eyebrow. 

"I don't have an accent; you have an accent," he retorts playfully, feigning a scowl, which elicits a soft giggle from me. He grins at me, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. 

"Well, I should head back to my room. The chlorine always does weird things to my hair," I say with a soft chuckle as I pick up my bag and wrap my towel around my waist. He sits up in his beach chair to look at me.

"Hey, let me buy you a drink later," he suggests, gazing up at me. I take in his shirtless form reclining on the chair in front of me and for a moment, I struggle to find my words.

"Um, well, okay," I say hesitantly before regaining my composure. "Yes, that sounds good." I offer a soft smile, trying to conceal my unease. 

He nods and continues, "I'll see you at eight at the hotel bar." He stands up and I nod in response. 

an"I'll see you, book thief," before giving a small chuckle and walking from the pool deck back into the lobby. As I leisurely make my way back to the door, I hear his quiet laughter echoing behind me. A grin spreads across my face, and in that moment, I feel as lighthearted and carefree as I did in my teenage years.

Staring at his darling daughter, in the middle of the pasta aisle, Louis found himself on the edge of a neurotic breakdown.

"It’s your birthday tomorrow! And your papa better not do anything to muck it up! Because your dada worked very hard to organise it! And all of your aunties and grannies and granddads and friends will be there!” Louis continued in a sweet sing-song voice that seemed to get increasingly frantic as he continued. “And if your papa is in rut, then what? What’ll we do, honey girl? Your dada will be too busy! And your papa will be too horn-”

“Louis,” Harry interrupted, touching Louis’ arm. “I’ll be okay. It’s probably not even my rut. I can appreciate you… all of you… even when I’m not in rut.”

I worked next door and when he walked in, my whole world turned on it's head.

12) This Love Is Ours | Mature | 21028 words

14) Raise a Glass to the Four of Us | Mature | 25,470 words

Louis stared at his luggage.

Well. Apparently not his luggage, because the clothing he was looking at currently was a: worth more than everything he currently possessed, b: not his size at all, and c: more suited for a fancy ass lawyer than a holiday in NYC with his best mates.

“Ooh, nice loafers,” Niall said as he pulled one out of the suitcase. “I love the rainbows.”

“Okay,” Liam began. “What do you want to do first? Eat, shop for new clothes, or spend hours on the phone with the airline?”

Louis continued to stare at the luggage.

15) Yours To Lose | Mature | 25,472 words

“I think I know the person that matches your descriptions of your dream alpha.”

“Who? And oh not my dream alpha, god you’re making me sound like a teenage school girl. I’m a mum, H.” They laugh as they watch kids gather in front of the verandah, getting ready to go back to the orphanage.

“Well, you’re gonna have to find out.” Harry winks before standing up to start cleaning their spot.

16) Feeling Peachy, Take A Bite | Explicit | 25,654 words

Prompt 570: Omega Louis works at a cupcake shop. He makes the prettiest cupcakes and loves his job. In comes beefy alpha Harry who absolutely loves to eat Louis’ cake. Inspired by Louis being a cute baby girl handing out cupcakes. (no a/b/o necessary, but Louis has to be feminine).

17) Confections Of The Heart | Explicit | 25,877 words

Louis is a single mom, Harry is a pastry chef, and Oliver just wants his mom to be happy. With a teaspoon of love and a sprinkle of fate, the three might just find a home in each other.

18) I Know How To Whisk (But Teach Me Anyway) | Mature | 32,113 words

Louis scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. “I don’t understand. Unmated alphas don’t just go into a rut out of nowhere. Unless…”

Louis grabbed onto Niall’s arm in desperation. “Am I a homewrecker? Does Harry have a mate? Oh my God, was he not flirting? Did the change in his scent not have anything to do with my smell yesterday? Did I just make that up!?”

Louis let go of Niall and dropped his face in his hands. “I knew it was too good to be true.”

“You’re an idiot,” Niall stated. Louis looked up to find Niall rolling his eyes. He snapped his laptop closed and moved to stand up. “I need to get some work done. Why don’t you stay here and think back to ABO dynamics 101.”

With that Niall hopped off the couch and headed to his room. He stopped and turned to Louis before he made it to the hall and said, “Oh, and Lou. You may want to reconsider your outlook on soulmates.”

Louis yelled after him. “Soulmates aren’t a thing, Niall!”

19) Let Me Feel Your Heartbeat | Explicit | 34,572 words

Harry is 98% sure Louis hates him. So he feels like his bewilderment is justified when the omega offers to help him through his rut.

20) I Found A Love For Me (Darling Just Dive Right In) | Explicit | 46,652 words | Sequel

Louis, an omega with very little control. Harry, an alpha with a lot of emotion. Neither of them have any idea what do to with this little thing called love, but they’ll be damned if they don’t put up a good fight.

21) Gallery Of Us | Explicit | 55,782 words

Harry knew what he was doing in life, everything laid out in black-and-white, each day pleasantly predictable. Cue lively art student, Louis, trying to find his place. An almost insufferably happy person who sometimes forgets to hide the way they feel meets the person who is diligent enough to notice and determined to make a difference.

22) Love Me Until The End | Mature | 207,053 words

“Dr. Styles there’s an emergency at the maternity ward. The head nurse called for you, he needs you there as soon as possible.” The trainee tells Harry over the phone, catching his attention. Louis Tomlinson, the Louis Tomlinson is calling him? He lowers his clipboard and nods his head, getting up from his chair.

“Tell Mr. Tomlinson I’ll be there right away.”

Hi! Do you have any fics where they say I love you for the first time? 💖💖

Thanks you darlings!

Hi! You're very welcome! Here are some fics for you!

Different Than You Do by galactic_larry / @galacticlarry

Louis and Harry have been friends for a little over four years. Louis has been in love with Harry for most of those years, even if he didn’t want to admit it at first.

What happens when he impulsively decides to tell him?

Beep the Horn by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo

“Listen, I’ve tried to be helpful," Niall said. "But it's been three years. It’s time for you to make the move. There’s only so much encouraging I can do before it starts to get repetitive. And annoying.” “I feel so loved,” Louis deadpanned. “Of course we love you, Lou,” Zayn said. “We just need you to tell Harry how you feel so you can stop feeling so down on yourself.” Or, the one where Harry dresses as Miley Cyrus for Halloween, and Louis is the tiniest bit in love with him.

cause you're a sky full of stars by @femstyles

Uni AU. A film student on campus randomly stops Harry and asks him to participate in her assignment. Little does he know that agreeing also means putting his heart on the line.

Or the AU inspired by Thoraya Maronesy's videos on YouTube where Harry calls Louis and tells him how he really feels.

Just saw that Julian Bunetta co wrote Espresso with Sabrina. He's gone on to write so many hits (including Niall's Slow Hands). When I was a kid I genuinely thought Louis & Liam were out there writing most of the 1d songs from scratch but now I think Louis just contributed a few lyrics and Liam ???? Julian worked out the melody and all the instrumentation with the help of John Ryan and Jamie Scott.

Julian Bunetta is doing very well for himself - and I think the specific skills that make that possible are worth thinking about.

It's not just that he's skilled at both making music and identifying what makes pop music work - he can also work with someone to develop their voice. That requires both musical and social skills. A lot of what both Savan Kotecha and 1D members have said about writing music for 1D (and actually the other cowriters in different ways) - makes it clear that respecting 1D members and working with them

I personally think that both your old and new understanding of 1D's role in songwriting are an over simplification. It's worth remembering that when 1D got bigger and had more power they could choose what they fought for - and what they chose was having more input into songwriting and working with people who would teach them. It mattered to them. And more than that - it had an impact on the music.

I think there are basically three things a popstar contribute to a writing session - the first is their self. Embedding songs in both who people are and the image they're projecting has real value. Then there's taste - if you are the person who says 'I want more horns on this' (to give an example from 1D) - you are influencing the music even if you don't write the horn parts/work on the electronic horn soundscape/hire the horn players. Here I think it's very clear that as people get more power they get more influence (Julian Bunetta said no to Harry on Olivia and I don't think people say no now). Then there's compositional contribution on music, lyrics and arrangement. I think they contributed all 3 during 1D and they contributed to all 3 in their solo careers. I think how much will vary from song to song. But the idea that they do everything or nothing either in 1D or solo careers is oversimplifying.

hiee baby hope you’re doing alright could you do a bot inspired by this https://pin.it/3h0SKOFUB (also I can practically hear Niall cackling his Irish ass off after doing this) so basically it’s Harry’s birthday and you planned a surprise on a mega yacht for him well because our man loves being on boats anyways so everyone’s there and drunk so you get a little idea to do what Niall did in the video (honking the boat horn) but Harry doesn’t know it’s you who did it and just assumes it’s Niall so he yells “fuck off Nigel” but then you emerge out of the boat’s control room? (Idk much about boats) and yell “happy birthday Harold” while laughing

I don't know anything about boats either, I googled "yacht map labeled" to figure out real boat words for this 😭

Harry Styles - 2016

You throw Harry a birthday party at sea that gets a little out of hand.

My requests are open to any and all! I make bots for others but primarily Harry so feel free to submit for any of them or submit more than one if you’d like! My inbox is wide open to all for everything from requests to just chatting 💖

Burning touch

Niall’s cozy living room was bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights, casting a warm ambiance over the mismatched furniture. The six friends—three guys and three girls—gathered there every Friday night, their laughter and camaraderie filling the air.

Y/n sat cross-legged on the floor, her back leaning against Niall’s legs. She was the quiet one, the girl with the doe-like eyes that held kindness. Her long brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore an oversized sweater that swallowed her petite frame. Niall, manly ruggedly handsome, had always been her protector. His blue eyes held a depth that intrigued her, and his touch ignited a fire within her that she couldn’t explain.

As the movie played on the screen, Niall's fingers traced delicate patterns on y/n’s stomach. His touch was both comforting and electrifying, and she fought to keep her breathing steady. His chin rested on her shoulder, and she could feel the warmth of his breath against her skin. The room faded away, leaving only the two of them in this intimate bubble.

Y/n stole a glance at the others. Amelia and Liam were engrossed in the film, oblivious to the charged atmosphere between her and Niall. Across the room, Maggie and Louis whispered conspiratorially, their heads close together. But it was Niall who held her attention—the way his thumb brushed against her ribcage, the way his heartbeat seemed to synchronize with hers.

She knew he felt it too, but y/n was so shy around him, and too scared to lose her favourite person, so she kept her feelings guarded, and ignored the longing that simmered beneath their friendship. They’d known each other for years, shared passions, dreams and trust, but this was different. Niall’s touch spoke of desire, of a hunger that threatened to consume them both.

Y/n shifted, her pulse racing. Should she pull away? Or surrender to the ache that coiled low in her belly? Niall’s hand slid higher, and she bit her lip to stifle a gasp. The movie played on, its soundtrack a backdrop to her silent confession. Y/N leaned back into Niall’s touch, her heart pounding. Maybe, just maybe, this was the beginning of a love story—one that defied friendship, blurred boundaries, and dared to explore what lay between the lines.

Niall, too, was navigating the delicate line between friendship and something more profound. His protective instincts towards Y/N had always been strong, but lately, they had evolved into something deeper, more intense. He cherished their moments together, the way her laughter brightened his day, the softness in her eyes when she looked at him. Tonight, however, there was a palpable shift—a magnetic pull that neither could ignore. His fingers moved with a purpose, silently communicating a desire he had long kept hidden. The movie’s dialogue faded into the background, drowned out by the rhythmic cadence of their synchronized heartbeats.

Niall had always been the dependable one—the guy who fixed broken things, both literal and metaphorical. His friends relied on him, and he revelled in that role. But y/n was different. She wasn’t just a friend; she was the quiet heartbeat at the centre of his world.

When he touched her, it was like touching a live wire. Her skin held secrets—soft and fragile, yet resilient. He’d memorized every freckle on her arms, every curve of her spine. And when she leaned back against him during movie nights, he fought the urge to pull her closer, to claim her as his own.

His feelings for y/n defied logic. She was the shy girl with the doe-like eyes, the one who blushed when he complimented her. But beneath that demure exterior lay a fire—an intensity that drew him in. He’d seen glimpses of it—the way her gaze lingered on his lips, the way her breath hitched when he brushed against her.

Niall’s hand under her shirt wasn’t just about comfort; it was a silent confession. He wanted to explore the landscape of her skin, to map every inch with his fingertips. His chin on her shoulder was an anchor, grounding him in this moment—a moment that held the promise of something more.

As the movie comes to an end, the room fills with the soft murmur of friends gathering their things, preparing to leave. The air is thick with the remnants of shared laughter and the warmth of a good time spent together. Y/n rises from her seat, following the natural flow of her friends towards the door, but she feels a gentle tug on her arm. It's Niall. His eyes convey a plea, a silent request for her to stay a little longer. Without hesitation, she nods and decides to stay behind.

Y/n turns to her departing friends with a smile. "I'll stay and help tidy up," she announces. Their friends exchange knowing glances, offering her playful smirks and supportive winks as they file out the door. The room gradually quiets down, the sounds of footsteps and cheerful goodbyes fading into the night. Y/n and Niall are left with the echoes of the evening, the room now theirs to reclaim from the chaos of a lively gathering.

And so, together, they begin to clean up, their movements synchronized and effortless. The task at hand becomes secondary to the conversation that flows between them. They share stories, laugh at inside jokes, and navigate the delicate space between friendship and something more. The mess of discarded popcorn and empty cups gradually disappears, replaced by a sense of connection and shared purpose.

He pulled her onto the sofa, falling into a peaceful silence. Niall's tummy presses against her back as he gently strokes down her hips. He kisses her cheek, trailing soft kisses from her cheek to the corner of her mouth and her jawline. Y/n's heart begins to pound, and she feels a wave of nervousness wash over her.

Niall senses the change in her breathing and pauses for a moment. He wants to make sure she's comfortable, to reassure her. "Y/n," he murmurs softly against her neck, his voice filled with affection. The sound of her name spoken so intimately sends a shiver down her spine.

She turns slightly to face him, lips so close, Niall's gaze is warm and steady, a silent promise of his care and devotion. Her nerves start to ease, replaced by a growing sense of trust.

In that tender moment, time seemed to stretch, and the world around them faded into a distant blur. The gentle touch of his fingers as they swept her hair behind her ear sent a shiver down her spine. His gaze, darting from her eyes to her lips and back again, as he moved closer, the boundaries that once defined their friendship began to dissolve, replaced by an overwhelming sense of connection and longing.

His approach was deliberate but unhurried, giving her the chance to pull away if she chose to. Yet, she found herself frozen in place, drawn to him by a magnetic pull that she had never felt before. Every inch he traversed seemed to bring with it a rush of memories, laughter shared, secrets whispered, and moments of comfort. It was as if all those instances had been leading up to this singular point in time, where friendship blossomed into something more profound and beautiful.

When his lips finally met hers, it was a gentle and tentative kiss, a question as much as an answer. The world around them ceased to exist, leaving only the sensation of the kiss, the warmth of his touch, and the rapid beating of her heart. In that kiss, they found a new beginning, an uncharted path that they were willing to explore together. The kiss ended, but the connection remained, a silent promise of what was to come, a beautiful, unforeseen journey into the realm of love.

Armor for dragon communion shenanigans:

Banished Knight Set (note: can only acquire the unaltered helmet from the guy at the Cathedral as far as I know, and the unaltered armor from Castle Sol)

Ronin's Set (RIP Yura I love your dragon cape)

Veteran's Set (Commander Niall rocking what might be dragon feathers and definitely horns)

Drake Knight Set (obvious reasons)

The Malformed Dragon set is specifically related to the ancient dragon cult and lightning magic and therefore I don't consider it as relevant.

TNS Marching Band AU

So last year I thought about writing a college marching band AU but I didn't get beyond sorting every A-Trouper into sections. Pre-Season 7 my brothers helped because those are the seasons I can watch on the TV, and my brothers are band kids through and through. New characters for seasons 7-9 are probably less accurate since I was assigning them on my own.

Section leaders above the cut, rest of the sections below.

Michelle-head of music (clarinet) Emily-head of marching (flute) Noah-drum major (bass clarinet)

Thalia-clarinet Kenzie-flute Piper-alto sax West-tenor sax (+bass clarinets) Daniel-trumpet James-percussion (quads/tenor) Riley-trombone (+baritones) Eldon-tuba (+horns)

Clarinets Chloe Cassie Skylar Ozzy Heather Heath Daisy Dylan

Flutes Stephanie Tiffany Jacquie Lola Kingston (hangs out with the saxes) Ethan Niall Olive

Alto Saxes Cierra Henry Zara Summer Izzy

Tenor Saxes and Bass Clarinets Giselle-tenor sax Davis-tenor sax Jett-tenor sax Anthony-bass clarinet Adele-bass clarinet

Trumpets Alfie Richelle Elliot Lily Cleo Presley (yes, I know she was never officially on A-Troupe, work with me) Ebby Grace

hi sam,

I need big sister advice...how do yoy stop yourself from liking something...and not just a person, just anything...celebrities, a fandom, a show, how do you stop the obsession before you go down the rabit hole

First and foremost 😭 big sister advice I'm 😭😭😭😭😭😭

AS ALWAYS--SORRY FOR THE LENGTH OF MY RESPONSE.

Okay, second, I am happy to give you my advice but I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask given my personal history with Twilight/1D/Harry.

HOWEVER. A little tangent: I am obsessed with iced coffee as well. Not sure I have mentioned that on here (you can probs tell from my stories, but anyway). I am constantly in a battle between "I should just make coffee at home" and "it's only $4" literally every day. I constantly here about how my $4 a day routine is attributing to my lack of a house in today's market. Not to toot my own horn but I do a lot for my family, my students, my friends, my boyfriend--pretty much anyone that enters my life, you get a piece of me that's yours to have. I don't do a whole lot for myself--self-care or otherwise. So I think life is short and I try to remind myself that $4 a day is not the worst thing in the world. (probably a bad mindset but if I don't do something for my mental well-being I think I'm going to explode).

The reason I say this is because I DO think life is short and you should allow yourself some indulgences. Otherwise, what's this all for? I'm not saying you should spend thousands on an obsession (see also: my Harry collection 🙃) but if you enjoy something, there's no reason you shouldn't as long as it's not causing you physical, mental, or financial harm (in my opinion).

For me? I have to limit myself. I used to watch EVERY interview, read EVERY article, watched EVERY Instagram story the entire 1D fandom had to offer and it became so overwhelming, so EXHAUSTING I had to stop. Like in my crazy teenage mind I thought that if I didn't watch EVERY piece of 1D things people would call me out for not being a real fan or that Harry/Niall would one day find out I didn't see their interview on Oct 12, 2013 and they would kick me out of the club.

It's part of why I had such a big hiatus on here. I am a huge planner so setting time for myself to do what I want to look at, watch, think about (albeit, it's very little time these days) is really important to me. Also, I have to decide if it's healthy or not for me to do so. I was staying up all hours a night to write stories and post and interact here on tumblr. It wasn't good for me.

I think just reframing the context is important too. I would like to believe I'm not really obsessed anymore. I have a great appreciation for shows and celebrities. I like to believe I know a LOT about Harry (but obviously I don't--para-social stuff ya know?). I know a great deal about How I Met Your Mother and The Princess Bride. I love potatoes, babies, math, reading, etc. I don't think these are obsessions they're just things I love.

Obsession often has a negative connotation and while I do like to tell people I have an obsession with Harry Styles for exaggeration/honestly what else am I supposed to call it? I don't think it's the right thing. Tbh, corny as it sounds I have the utmost respect for Harry. I think he's wonderful of course, and I wouldn't have known that without being so crazy for 1D for so many years.

So, I doubt any of this was helpful so I'll try to summarize:

I would really think if it's obsession or just something you really enjoy. I think there's a pretty significant difference. I also think it's okay to indulge in the things you love. Life is too short to not enjoy anything--especially something you're feeling passionate about. Moderation is important for this though. Your well-being is more important than knowing every detail about the thing you love. Not everything has to be an obsession.

If this wasn't helpful, let me know I'll try again 💕 Thank you for asking me for advice! This is like the sweetest, nicest thing 😭

xoxo

[darcyolsson]

wait when does someone murder a bunch of people and replace them with clones?? and what is meant by the devil flashes a kid. i am at a loss

first one is in the dream thieves, chapter 59, kavinsky reveals to ronan that he killed his dad and proko and replaced them with dream copies:

“I’m not doing this,” Ronan said. One thousand nightmares of Matthew dead. Blood in his curls, blood in his teeth, flies in his eyes, flies in his guts.“You won’t get away with this.” “I got away with dear old dad,” Kavinsky observed. “And Prokopenko. And no offense to your brother, but they were a lot more complicated.” “This was the wrong play. I will destroy you.” “Don’t let me down, Lynch.”

the other one also happened in the dream thieves, in chapter 12, basically ronan has this memory of one of his father's creatures (which he thought was the actual devil, but obviously is just a dream creature) showing niall his dick lol:

"Niall Lynch had had a gun in hand — the Lynches had an enormous number of guns of all sizes — and just as Ronan had opened the gate, his father had shot the thing about thirteen times in the head. With a shake of its horns, the unharmed devil had presented its genitalia to Niall Lynch before bounding off. It was an image that had yet to leave Ronan"
