    Summary

    One of the perks of being friends with Dan and Phil is that sometimes they invite Harry to see their celebrity guests.

    One of the downsides of being friends with Dan and Phil is that sometimes they invite Harry to see their celebrity guests.

    Specifically, Midnight Memories, Harry's absolute favourite band. Harry is certain he is going to utterly humiliate himself.

    Except that apparently he did something right, because he keeps running into them, and then Louis invites him to do a collab. If he can just keep from passing out or saying something particularly stupid, maybe he'll somehow be lucky enough to get to call them his friends.
     

    “Hey Haz,” Louis’ familiar voice came warm over the phone. “How’s it going?”

    “Good, good,” Harry said. “Just looking through comments on the video.”

    “How are they?”

    “Interesting,” Harry said. “I think they ship us.”
     
    He laughed, and Louis’ laugh joined him after a moment. “Probably,” he said. “I mean, wouldn’t you?”

    Summary

    eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.

    except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.

    it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.

    meanwhile, the world goes on.

    (or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

    Summary

    Five years ago, Africa offered a grieving Louis Tomlinson an escape from an England he couldn't tolerate. Now it's become home as he leads overland tours across the continent with his best friend and driver Zayn Malik. What's meant to be just another ordinary six-week trip from Cape Town to Nairobi turns into anything but, when future lawyer/current photographer and songwriter Harry Styles and his friends join Louis' latest set of passengers.

    Summary

    Harry is fully dressed when Louis returns to the room. He’s slumped on the edge of the bed, fingers twining awkwardly around the edge of his pink flounces. “Can I come?” he blurts when Louis opens the bathroom door.
    Louis freezes. “What?”
    “North. With you,” Harry clarifies. “If you’re going north, could I come too?”

    On a rainy night in Auckland in the middle of his world tour, popstar Harry Styles loses his ability to carry on. Instead of continuing to Sydney and the rest of his tour, he seeks sanctuary with Louis Tomlinson, a man with a macadamia nut farm and a mysterious past.
