You Should Be Here With Me

A 2024 Advent Fic by lululawrence

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 34k | 26 Chapters

The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.

Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.

Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.

🎄1 🎄 2 🎄 3 🎄 4 🎄 5 🎄 6 🎄 7 🎄 8 🎄 9 🎄 10 🎄 11 🎄 12 🎄 13 🎄 14 🎄 15 🎄 16 🎄 17 🎄 18 🎄 19 🎄 20 🎄 21 🎄 22 🎄 23 🎄 24 🎄 25 🎄 26 🎄

In This World (It's Just Us)

“So, you understand, Mr. Tomlinson?” Harry says, watching as Louis glances around the room, curious and clearly more than a bit distracted. He gets a non-committal answer, an ‘um, yeah’ that Harry hadn’t even fully believed the first time around, let alone now, but he knows his job, knows the part he has to play.

“Alright, well, then we’d like to start our first trial immediately, if you’re alright with it.” Harry says as he opens the door to an adjacent room. He knows that it’s what he’s supposed to say, but even as he says it all he wants is to tell Louis to say no. To at least ask more questions. He wants him to stop and think for a moment, to realise that this all doesn’t entirely make sense. A facility that tests the strength of memories? That forces people to stay for an indeterminate amount of time? He wants to grab his arm and shake him, tell him to stop being so impulsive for one damn moment and actually think this through. 

“I’m alright with it,” Louis says, and Harry swallows back everything, instead leading him to the room next door and gesturing to a seat. He even manages to plaster on a smile when he hears what Louis says next. “though if we’re going to be working together, then, I’d like to know your name, if that’s alright. Seems a bit daft, calling you H. Styles in my head. Or that guy.”

It’s weird. It’s weird how all of this is exactly the same as before. He’d expected it to an extent. The clothes, the impulsiveness with which he’d signed all the papers, barely even glancing at them, nevermind taking the time to read them, seduced by the money that was promised. But the whole scene? Down to the same jokes, the same words and inflection? It’s eerie.

Your A-Team, Your Endgame

by silverkiiwii | @tomlinsins with art by @harryanthus-annuus

“Did you have another fight with Harry?” Liam asks as they move away from everyone, into the kitchen.

“No. Why?” Louis says, perplexed.

“He looks ready to murder you.” Liam subtly looks over towards Harry and sure enough, his gaze on Louis is intensely unwavering.

“Or well, fuck you senseless.” Zayn chimes in with the most absurd possibility before Louis can think of a reply.

“What? Shut up. He does not want to fuck me senseless.”

“Then you can fuck him senseless.”

“Nobody is fucking anybody senseless.” Even the mere notion is enough to make his eyes roll up into their bloody sockets.

“Doesn't mean you don't want to though.” Liam smirks like a true traitor. He really ought to make new friends.

“I'm leaving.” Louis deadpans. He is not going to dignify their idiocy with responses anymore.

Coming Soon as part of @onedirectionbigbang round 7!

Coming soon for 1D Omegaverse Fic Fest...

Scarred

Harry glanced back for a moment, no hint of recognition of the soulbond on his face, just a cold, hard look, before he turned on his heel and began walking away from him. Louis knew he should call Harry back to him, should explain what had just happened. But the bond that had only formed on his own side made him hesitate. His soulmate didn’t want him.  He could tell Harry the truth and let his protective alpha instincts kick in. Harry would never condemn anyone to the slow, excruciating death of a rejected soul bond, even someone like Louis. But then Louis would have to live with the knowledge that his soulmate would rather have chosen anyone but him if given the choice. He couldn’t do it. His soulmate deserved a chance at happiness, one that did not include him. Instead, he watched his soulmate walk away from him, further and further into the distance until he turned a corner and disappeared from sight.

The 61st Bloodbath

***** On the eve of the tribute reaping for the 61st Hunger Games, the District 4 victors attend the mentor reaping.

(little snippet under the cut)

Mulder remembered the look in Dana’s eyes when she had swung the axe, burying it in District 1’s male tribute’s chest, making her the winner. He didn’t judge her. Everyone in the room had killed other innocent kids, and a fair amount of them had done it brutally. 

He wondered if Dana saw the boy’s face in her dreams.

“Welcome!”

The victors all fell silent and took a seat, facing the little Justice Building banquet hall stage. Bianca Sparkle – not her family name, Mulder was sure – had been District 4’s escort for three years. She was sweet in that air-headed, not-living-in-the-real-world way that being a born and bred Capitol citizen earned you. As her surname dictated, she was always sparkling and shimmering from head to toe. Her hair was an ever-changing pastel colour. Today it was green.

She looked around the room with a stupid grin on her face before her eyes fell on Dana and it melted away into a soft, genuine, encouraging smile. Dana gave her a small smile in return.

“It is time to find out who will have the grand privilege–” The room erupted into discontented grumbles – “of mentoring this year’s Hunger Games District 4 tributes! May the odds be ever in your favour!”

Mulder turned to Walter and squeezed his bicep in a gesture of comfort. Mentoring was nowhere near as traumatising as being a tribute but, by design, they had all been tributes once, and the trauma of being involved again was something that Mulder dreaded for himself, as well as for his friends.

Well, two of them would have to go through it again this year.

“Ladies first!” Bianca said shrilly, tapping her long nails against the comically large glass orb that housed just a few folded pieces of paper. They used the same balls as they did for the reaping, which seemed silly to Mulder.

Mulder prayed silently that it wasn’t Mags. She had served her time as a mentor and, at sixty-six, Mulder thought she deserved a little peace.

He raised his eyebrows as Bianca pulled out a piece of paper, unfolding it, and watched as all the life and colour drained from her face. She visibly swallowed, and looked towards Mulder’s left in pity.

“Dana Scully.”

Walter’s breath caught in his throat, and Mags let out a quiet, strangled cry of sorrow. 

A small, broken woman of nineteen, barely out of the circus of the 60th Hunger Games, now thrust right into the 61st. Mulder clapped his hands over his mouth. This was so cruel. 

He didn’t want her to feel ogled but he tried to look at her out of the corner of his eye. Visibly, she hadn’t reacted much. She seemed stiffer, but the vacant, broken look remained.

Walter had his arm around her shoulders loosely and was whispering in her ear. Mulder felt a wrenching in his chest. He was so focused on poor Dana, he barely even registered Bianca saying his name until Mags made a strange whimpering sound.

If you know me at all, you’ll know that two of the things I enjoy most are writing fluffy ficlets, and Christmas.

.birds of a feather.

The world was going to come to an end and Libby wanted to put up the biggest fight she could; she didn’t want to die, not when she’d come so far in her life.

When she fell in with a group outside of Atlanta, she was determined to become a useful member. Despite a brief meeting in the woods and having a crossbow held to her temple, her odds began looking up. She becomes part of the unlikely found family and tries her hardest to crack open the archer she met in the forest.

————

“Hey!” He hollered. “What’s yer name?”

“Libby!” I replied, continuing to scale the limbs.

Once I had completed the journey to the top, I looked back down to see him crouched beside the deer. I let myself take in his appearance one last time: the short, blondish brown hair, the sleeves obviously ripped off his shirt exposing tan, robust muscle, and his crossbow now discarded onto his back.

“Hey!” I yelled down to him. “What’s yours?”

His head tilted up, and I couldn’t clearly see his eyes from where I stood now with how small they were, but I just knew they were squinted.

“Daryl!”

I flashed him a smile, waving my fingers in goodbye.

Coming Soon...

Prepare the way.

Two thousand years of war. Of bloodshed, darkness, destruction, and loss. So much lost.

Darkness falls.

Over four hundred years of waiting. Of pining, wishing, praying. For a word spoken, whispered in wind. For a promise given, etched in stone. For hope reborn, forged in fire.

Hope shall rise.

Three are called to arms, to fight and defend those who have desperately awaited their arrival, for deliverance of a kingdom born in flame, from a monstrous warlord that seeks to bathe it in blood and ash.

Will Three be enough to dethrone the Harbinger of Death himself?

Sovereignty is come.

Prepare the way.

Prepare the way...

The Three Sovereigns

[lululawrence]

Louis leaned back in his chair so he could see the time over the oven, and was surprised to find it was only a little past 9. It was earlier than he was usually up on a Saturday, but Diego clearly wasn’t expecting anyone, so who just showed up at someone’s house unannounced this early in the morning? It had to be family, right?

The sound of the door opening and two voices speaking loudly and quickly in Spanish was what finally got Diego holding his palm out to Louis and saying, “Just… stay here, yes? Yes,” before scurrying off towards the front door.

Diego’s voice joined in with the rapidfire Spanish, and that was kind of hot, actually. Louis really enjoyed hearing the differences in his vocal tone and inflections when he was speaking Spanish versus English, but he needed to focus. 

Mostly he needed to focus on the fact that there were strangers here. Strangers that Diego might not mind running into whilst only wearing a t-shirt and pants, but Louis sure did. Especially since Diego was at least in a clean top. Louis was wearing the one he found on the floor that Diego had been wearing last night. And oh god… his hair. He had no idea what his hair looked like. He was definitely not in any state to be meeting anyone right now.

The issue was, if Louis was going to make it to the bedroom without being noticed, he had to hope that they hadn’t come much further inside than the front door or they would definitely be able to see him. Curse the modern aesthetic of an open floorplan.

Taking a deep breath, Louis decided to risk it. After all, both of the surprise visitors seemed to be quite fond of Diego based on their tone of voice, but considering Louis knew maybe ten words in Spanish, he had no idea what anyone was saying. 

Louis started trying to creep his way towards Diego’s bedroom, but he hadn’t made it very far when he realized the three of them were definitely incredibly close to the kitchen and there was now silence.

“Mijo, who is this?”

Louis froze, his back still turned towards the three people in the living room. Because what was he supposed to do? How exactly was Diego going to explain Louis to these people who clearly cared for him? 

“Ma, Pa…” 

Diego’s voice was close to Louis now, so he turned and looked over at Diego, who put his arm around Louis and turned him towards the strangers… who were apparently his parents. 

“This is Louis.” After a brief pause where he squeezed Louis’ shoulders a bit, Diego then said, “We only recently started seeing each other.”

Louis tensed, doing his best to school his face, but this was a lot right now. They only just met each other last night, for fuck’s sake, and now he’s not only meeting the man’s parents, but he’s being introduced as his boyfriend?

A billionaire playboy in his most natural state of existence... dolled up and relaxing. How did @kartsie even manage to snap a picture like this?

[so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed]

It’s not until Harry is wrapped up in a blanket and Zayn’s arms, with his hands clutching his moth plushie, that Zayn asks.

“What happened?”

He’s got his lips pressed to Harry’s temple, his fingers carding soothingly through his hair, and Harry wishes desperately that he could feel comforted, that Zayn’s love was enough to fill the gaping hole he can feel in his chest.

It’s so stupid. He knows it is. Because Louis was just a boy. Just someone that might’ve been placed on Harry’s path for a while, but that was never guaranteed a stay.

But Harry had wanted him to stay. He’d wanted him, more than he can remember ever wanting anyone before. 

“He left,” he mumbles quietly, wishing that he had the energy to wince at the bitter tone in his voice, but he simply doesn’t. Neither does Zayn, who just holds him a little bit tighter in response to his words. “He left me.”

Sometimes falling in love is taking a leap of faith, jumping into the unknown with your eyes closed, hoping someone will be there to catch you.

Sometimes falling in love is seeing the person in front of you, all their flaws and imperfections, and taking that leap nonetheless.

Sometimes it's both.

teaser for another spicy post on bsky and my alt twt :)

[meetinginsamarra]

On Sunday I'll start posting my casefic !

Finally, my casefic is completely written and betaed!

In December 2022 I was thinking about a birthday present for my friend @peageetibbs . I came up with the idea of writing and gifting a fic, Sherlock would solve a mystery set in a cinema because my friend runs a cinema in the spare time IRL. Easy case, short fic, max 8k. Of course, the case evolved and became more complicated and the fic amounted to 56k and 15 chapters in the end.

It's the first real casefic I have written and I am very proud of it. All in all, it took me over a year to finish, including two longer breaks in between. I have missed the deadline for last year's birthday but this year, the fic will be in time.

I will be posting the first chapter on AO3 Sunday 18th.

Uploads will happen every Wednesday and Friday.

If anyone likes to be tagged on tumblr when it updates, let me know!
