The Isle of Eroda by Itstilliswhatitis | M | 1186 A version of the music video of Adore you.
Stole My Heart (With Just One Hook) by sitandadmire | T | 3629 Five times Louis gets jealous of Harry and his new friend, and the one time he finally faces the truth. About who he is, what his heart wants, and what the future holds. Or: An Eroda AU.
Peculiar Ugly Duckling by LadyLondonderry | G | 3789 Loowee is a fish. Loowee is a fish born to a family of FOUS fish. You’ve heard of FOUS fish, haven’t you, reader? Yes, of course you have. Fish Of Unusual Size Fish, of course. (There’s no need to tack the word fish onto the end of FOUS like that, but they simply do. It’s like having an ATM machine). FOUS fish are all quite big fish, unusually large in size compared to the average fish of the ocean. Loowee the FOUS fish hates being big.
Only Thing I’ll Ever Do by KatnissPotter1 | G | 3865 The lighthouse keeper of Eroda retired, handing the responsibility to Louis. He’s on storm watch when the peculiar boy asks him for help to find the fish. Will Louis help, or is the boy’s reputation too daunting?
when you’re lost, i’ll find a way (i’ll be your light) by kamwashere | T | 11000 ‘Rum, innit?’ The man grumbles and turns his back from him. [Harry] nods and fishes the note from his pocket when his eyes catch someone else’s. Green meets blue. Harry stops, and so does the boy. He’s wearing a beige, wool sweater and faded denim overalls. His brown, floppy hair seems to hug his whole face and his fringe is swept to the side. The lines on his mouth promise trouble, and God, his eyes. - Or, the Eroda AU featuring a shy boy with the brightest smile on the island, and a newcomer with eyes as blue as the sea surrounding it.
The Marmonton Hotel by jaerie | E | 15082 For several months, The Marmonton Hotel had been dark. Harry walked past it on his way home and knew they had closed their doors pending some major structural repairs that needed to be made to continue to operate commercially. The last Harry heard, the owners were thinking of tearing it down which Harry thought was a shame. Each night he looked at the building and thought about everything it had witnessed over the long history of the town. It stood over and watched generations of celebrations and tragedies. One night, in the light of the moon, he looked up to see a figure standing in the vacant hotel. The emotion in the eyes of the stranger was too tangible for his brain to conjure it up, a mix of fear and shock that Harry couldn’t place. He looked conflicted about being seen, hovering in the space just out of full view, but not so much that Harry thought the man had broken in. It wasn’t that type of feeling. The next night he returned, and this time, he was pulled to walk in. He finds more than he was expecting and an unexpected history lost to time. Or the story of the ghost at The Marmonton Hotel.
A Place Like No Other by make_this_feel_like_home | G | 30689 Eroda, a mysterious little island nestled in the Atlantic Ocean, is home to many tales and many storytellers. Louis left when he was eight, but each summer he seems to find his way back. This year he’s in a different town and things have…changed. The sky has grown darker and the air is colder, and the sun seems to have completely forgotten about the tiny island. Louis has heard the stories, but as he hears them from the eccentric Irish bartender, somehow the truth starts to fall into place. And strangely enough, Louis finds himself falling for the strangest tale of them all.
Driftwood by justanothershadeofblue | M | 51424 Eroda was all Harry knew. He lived there all his life, but he always knew he was peculiar. He had dreams that go beyond this small, cold, and lonely island. He wanted to leave; he HAD to leave. But that meant leaving Louis... Harry is a lonely and depressed popstar who sailed out of his hometown on Eroda years ago to chase his dreams. He comes back to the island only to find his shining childhood best friend Louis just as cold and dreary as the island they grew up on.
Wonder Under Summer Skies by therogueskimo | nr | 71446 Here’s the thing you need to know about Eroda – nothing ever changes. Harry’s been living the same life for as long as he can remember. He was one of those strange things that Erodians didn't like, and as much as he tried to fight it, fate came for him as it came for the others. The others only he seemed to remember. Or maybe he was just the only one who cared. In the end, there was only one thing left he could do. Was it a coward’s way out? Maybe. But he was older now, old enough to know that if this was the only life he was going to be given, he didn’t want to live it anymore. Everything changed when Louis arrived. Harry is suddenly thrown back into a world of mystery and magic, with new information coming to light that could lead him, and Louis, to answers they desperately need. With Louis’ help, Harry discovers that nothing is what it seems, and that love might still be part of his destiny after all.

BEACH FIC REC: Below are fics that take place on or near a beach. 
📖 Tired Tired Sea by @mediawhorefics (113k)
As a B&B owner on the most remote of all the British Isles, Louis Tomlinson is used to spending the coldest half of the year in complete isolation, with his dog and the sea as sole companions. Until, one day, a mysterious stranger on a quest to rebuild himself rents a room for the winter.
📖 Jade by @halohamilton (91k)
Harry was in a shipwreck, lost at sea with an injury to his head that causes him to lose part of his memory. Louis happens to notice the boy and dives in to rescue him, then aiding him to health again with his mother’s help.
Harry may have lost part of his memory, part of his life, but he gained something better than he could have ever imagined; he fell in love with Louis.
But, the life that Harry couldn't remember may just come between them.
The Amnesia AU where Harry and Louis still end up falling in love.
📖 Ace of Spades by @allwaswell16 (78k)
Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic.
Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.
📖 Si Pudiera Volar by @softfonds (69k)
When Harry’s fiancé leaves him for his cousin, he looks the other way for the sake of his happiness. He’ll do anything to forget about him, including joining a monastery. It isn’t until his cousin’s former lover, a pirate, appears that he realizes everything is not as it appears, and an honest pirate might be the only person worthy of his heart.
Or, a fic loosely based on Corazón Salvaje.
📖 In Four Colours by @ireallysawanangel (59k)
Harry's a workaholic who threw himself headfirst into his work after his divorce ten years ago and hasn't come up for air since. His two daughters and his best friend notice how overworked and stressed he is, so they surprise him with a trip to the coast of France. The last thing Harry expects to do on his holiday is relax, but when he meets the kind, beautiful stranger staying in the cottage next door, his holiday starts to look a little more promising.
Or, the older larry AU featuring sun, sand, and the French countryside with a sprinkling of divorced Harry and silver fox Louis.
📖 Full Moon Dreaming by @jacaranda-bloom (43k)
Every month, Full Moon Dreaming reveals a person’s soulmate. Sometimes it’s an object or a place, or for the lucky ones, the love of their life.
Louis has given up hope of dreaming of a person, resigned to living a life devoid of that kind of all-consuming love for another and receiving the same in return.
But when a new neighbour descends on Louis’ beloved Hanson Bay and moves into the other beach house, could all that be about to change?
📖 Flowers in the Window by @justanothershadeofblue (33k)
Harry is a lonely and depressed popstar who sailed out of his hometown on Eroda years ago to chase his dreams. He comes back to the island only to find his shining childhood best friend Louis just as cold and dreary as the island they grew up on.
📖 Away From Home by @marchessa (12k)
the one, where Harry is a servant to the Tomlinson family and he ends up as one of the lone survivors of a shipwreck. But maybe he can still find paradise in the tragedy.
📖 Tan Lines and Some Memories by @harrieberrie (11k)
It’s summer in California and blockbuster movie star Louis Tomlinson is looking forward to a break and spending his days lazing away at his beach house.
Harry Styles is the indie movie darling he’d been avoiding ever since Louis saw his movie at Cannes and harbored an unreasonable grudge against him.
A unicorn t-shirt finally brings them together in person.
Summer romance ensues.
📖 Heat Waves by @chai-hat-tea (10k)
Louis, a surf instructor by day and a bartender by evening, meets vacationer Harry for the first time, and he knows that he doesn't deserve someone like Harry. Harry proves him wrong.
📖 come my love be one with the sea by @larrydoinglaundry (6k)
Pirate captain Louis gets saved from the storm by mermaid Harry, and grows particularly fond of this mysterious creature.
📖 Climbing The Swells by @cyantific (6k)
One surfer out of his depth amongst some territorial locals makes a bold move and a very unwelcome entrance. After things go wrong, another surfer reluctantly takes mercy on him, offering some first-aid and unexpected hospitality aboard his Airstream. A couple dimples and a few wayward curls go a long way to soften one surly local, and what started out as a rough morning becomes a very sunny spot to the day.
Or… The one where a clumsy Harry and a stubborn Louis reconcile their grievances on the beach with a heartfelt apology from Louis on his knees without saying a word.
📖 The Way You Smile Golden by @moonhusbands (5k)
it's 1967 and two boys find themselves alone on a beach.
📖 beach tits by @jaerie (2k)
Louis catches Harry pumping in the car. He can't help that he's really turned on by it.

Eroda is X Factor
Fake Island. Fake promises...
The Isle of Eroda’s (txf) rich history is embedded in daily life as the ruins of structures (contestants) from the past remain standing across the land (on the stage/successful in the industry/not giving up and fighting against the bad guys). The natural beauty (inviting/promising - the chance to be a star/live your dreams) of Eroda (txf) is both unmistakable and unforgettable (it lures you in). It features stunning cliffs (contracts/nda’s) that drop directly into the sea (career plummets if you break them and you lose everything)...
The Isle is made up of four villages (judges;) Garona (Simon) being the largest and primary port as well as the island’s capital (head judge - rule make - money grabbing ...), Marmoton (Louis W. - a marmot), Martin’s Heaven and Yuna (the two middle judges) are the other major population centers. Each village (judge) has something special to offer (different skills/experiences) so make sure you see them all! 
Also, saw two comments one before the other. One ending in “I don’t like it” and the other starting with “I love it!!! Louis W says this all the time

chasing the ocean: part 6
Tumblr media
author’s note: okay so i don’t like the fact that rapunzel’s kingdom is called corona due to obvious reasons so i’m just going to call it eroda. if anyone has a problem with this change, please let me know but i feel like since it’s a small detail then no one will really care so yeah. also this is me proclaiming my love for @newtshairdryer again because they a real one and been here since the start. also i had to rewrite this twice because it didn’t save so that’s what took so long :/
warnings: cursing, harry hook as per usual
masterlist
previous chapter next chapter
Tumblr media
silence fucking sucks.
i usually can tolerate it, but as i stare out the window of the limo that’s taking me and harry to eroda, the silence is ringing in my ears.
the driver has music quietly playing, but it’s doing nothing to ease the awkward tension. i’ve ignored the way me and harry have just silently stared out the windows for the past twenty minutes, but i know we still have an hour drive ahead of us.
i finally sigh and lean forward in my seat, catching harry’s attention as his blue eyes shift from the scenery outside to look at me. he looks completely unbothered as he fiddles with the hook that he had been tightly gripping since we packed our bags this morning.
“um, nice weather today.”
he looks back outside and nods slowly, “oh ya, very… sunny?”
i nod and mumble an agreement. leaning back into my seat, i squeeze my eyes shut and decide to count to pass the time.
one.
two.
three.
four.
“i’ve never seen clouds like this before.”
five- wait.
harry was so quiet that i almost think i imagined him saying it until i notice that his cheeks look a little redder than normal. his statement makes me smile as i follow his gaze to the window. although we’re still pretty far away, we can see the taller towers of the castle and i smile at the puffs of clouds that seem to always surround our island.
my mind begins to wonder as i think of all the times i would go to the highest tower and look out the window as a kid. i loved watching the tiny people move about and seeing the ships bring in crates of goods that would be sold in the town square. the bridge that connected the castle and village to the rest of the kingdom always seemed full of people coming and going. i spent so many days imagining that i was one of them, going on an adventure before my mom would call my name and i would try to erase those thoughts as quickly as they had appeared.
i look back to harry to see him still grinning at the cloud. tilting my head, i let the words fall out of my mouth before i can stop myself.
“what’s your plan now?”
his grin falls and i quickly try to fix my wording of that question.
“i mean, like, your dad was a pirate and he traveled a lot. i didn’t know if you’re gonna follow in his footsteps or if you have something else you want to do now that you’re off the isle.”
my cheeks are red and i’m seconds from just telling him to forget i spoke, but his answer stops me in my tracks.
“i don’t really know, lass. i just know i never wanna feel trapped like i did back on the isle again.”
his face is completely blank of expression, but i can hear the bitterness in his voice. he’s staring at his hook and i can see the way he’s getting lost in his thoughts of the isle so i clear my throat.
“um, well, i convinced my parents a couple months ago to implement an integration program for vk’s that graduate before they have a chance to find what they’re passionate about.”
harry’s eyes feel like they’re looking into my soul and i can’t tell if this conversation is any better than silence. my cheeks feel hotter and hotter by the second and i’m tempted to turn up the air conditioning to get my hands to stop sweating, but i just continue to ramble.
“i mean, i know it’s probably not ideal for you to move somewhere that i’m gonna be ruling one day, but like it’s a pretty good deal. we set you up with free housing, meals, and we have apprenticeships available so you can dabble in things until you find something you enjoy.”
my heart is racing in my chest and i truly don’t understand why i’m so nervous to be talking to the guy that i’ve shared a room with for almost a month. maybe it’s because we’ve never had an actual conversation until last night. maybe it’s because he’s still staring at me with a piercing gaze and an unreadable expression.
i almost sigh in relief when i see his lips twitch up into a smirk. his voice is light and his accent is prominent as ever as he replies.
“be careful, princess. it almost sounds like ye care about me.”
rolling my eyes and laughing, i lean back even further in my seats with my arms crossed. i stare back out the window and notice that i can now see slivers of the bridge through the trees as i snort, “in your fucking dreams, hook.”
we sit and stare out the windows and as my blush finally starts to fade, i decide that sometimes silence isn’t that bad.
Tumblr media
stepping out of the limo with harry and into the warm sunlight, i breathe in and sigh happily until i can hear my name being called repeatedly. gritting my teeth as i grimace, i turn to harry and am seconds from warning him, but i’m cut off before i can begin.
“YOU FUCKING STABBED SOMEONE?”
forcing a smile to my face, i turn on my heel to see my mom almost running towards me. i almost sigh in relief when i see my dad wrap his around her shoulder to make sure she doesn’t get out of hand.
to distract them briefly, i hold my arms out towards harry and blurt, “mom, dad, let’s welcome our guest. this is harry hook, he’s my vk partner from school.”
mom seems torn as she stares directly into my soul for a moment, but dad gives his signature grin as he holds his hand out to harry, “hey there, the name is eugene, but you can call me king of eroda.”
even in her state of anger, mom cracks a smile briefly at her husband before she slaps his shoulder.
“okay, just eugene works too.”
my parents share a laugh while harry looks at his hand hesitantly so i nudge him encouragingly. he cuts his eyes over to me before giving my dad a tight lipped smile and shaking his hand very briefly. mom takes this opportunity to smile warmly at harry and introduce herself as well.
“hello there, my name is rapunzel. it’s lovely to meet you, harry. how long are you staying with us?”
i can sense from how tense he is and from the way his eyes are darting around that harry is completely out of his comfort zone as he’s meeting my parents at the entrance to the castle so i answer for him.
“oh, he’s going to be staying all semester break with us. i figured i could show him a new place so he can see more opportunities now that he’s off the isle.”
mom’s eyes instantly light up and her voice is raised in pitch because of her excitement as she rambles, “oh my gosh, that’s great! harry, you are going to love it here. we have so much that we can show you and the townspeople are going to be so welcoming. and we absolutely have to take you to-“
harry looks scared shitless in that moment. i can’t tell if it’s from the way that mom is now flailing her arms as she speaks or if it’s from the way she’s completely overwhelming him, but i know i gotta get him some space before he runs back to auradon.
“actually mom, there was a really bad storm last night and we got pretty much no sleep. so between that and packing up and traveling here, we’re pretty tired so i figured i would just give him a quick tour of the castle while his room is ready then we’d just go to sleep for the night.”
my dad, who knows how excited mom can get at times, nods and helps me out, “i think that’s a great idea, sweetheart. you can go show around henry-“
“dad, his name is harry.”
“whatever. but once you’re done, how about you come by the throne room so we can have chit chat with you.”
i almost want to start digging my own grave at the last sentence since mom looks ready to kill me, but i just force a smile and grab harry’s arm.
“okay, yep. see you guys later.”
dragging harry as fast as possible, he almost stumbles as we enter the castle. in the front corridor, there are two sets of stairs on either side of the room that lead to the east and west wing of the castle. in between the stairs is the entrance to the ballroom that has hosted a multitude of festivities for the townspeople and incoming visitors. i start approaching the west wing to show harry the living quarters and the dining room, but he stops me at the base of the stairs.
he seems at a loss for words and absolutely flabbergasted as he blurts, “there was a wee little lizard on yer mum’s shoulder.”
i snort at his accent and halfheartedly shrug, “yeah his name is pascal.”

a few hours later, i’m in the west wing standing in front of the doors to the throne room. my heart feels like it’s lodged in my throat as i quietly knock. the large doors are dragged open by some servants and i can see my parents seated in their respective throne.
my mom is seated in the middle since she is royal by blood and dad is seated to her right in a slightly smaller throne. my throne is smaller than his and is on her left side with my crown still in the seat since i chose to not bring it with me to auradon. guards are lined up on both sides of the room, swords in hand and frying pans are hooked onto their belt loops.
i let out a nervous breath before forcing a smile at my parents and awkwardly pointing finger guns at them, “hey guys, what’s up? how’s everyone been?”
mom does not look amused by my antics and her voice is completely monotone as she deadpans, “well, y/n, you stabbed someone. so i would rate it a 2/10 day.”
i nod my head and let my shoulders drop before shrugging, “i mean, 2 isn’t that bad given the circumstances.”
even dad doesn’t crack a smile at that so i know this is a serious situation, which causes me to finally break into a rambling plea for mercy.
“okay listen, i can explain. i swear it’s not as bad as it sounds-“
my dad tilts his head and his voice is pitched a little higher as he says, “i don’t know, sweetheart, stabbing someone is pretty bad.”
i rub my hands down my face briefly before admitting, “okay, yeah. stabbing is bad. but this was purely accidental.”
mom takes her hand out of my dad’s to rub her temples and she sounds exhausted as she asks, “are you going to explain or keep giving us excuses?”
nodding my head, i hurriedly start explaining, “basically, me and harry had a cute little prank war. ya know, all good and fun and fresh, but then let’s say my foot got in his way and he might have fallen into the enchanted lake and maybe he had a hook on his belt loop that kinda scraped him. but i fixed it so no problem.”
the silence that follows makes me miss the staticky ocean noises for a moment as my parents just blink at me. i quickly plaster a large smile on my face and pray that i still look cute enough for them to not kill me.
dad finally shifts in his seat and clears his throat as he glances at mom, “uh well, sweetie, i must say that i am proud of you for at least winning the prank war.”
mom’s hand moves at the speed of light as she slaps his chest and her bright green eyes are wider than i’ve ever seen them as she gasps, “eugene.”
they dissolve into a whispered discussion that i can’t hear from my place so i rock back on my heels, hands behind my back casually. letting my eyes trail around the room and all of the artwork inside, i look for any differences from the last time i was here and ignore my parents sneaking glances at me.
finally, they pull apart and my mom clears her throat as she announces, “okay, y/n, we have come to a conclusion.”
i barely conceal my grimace and just simply wait for my death sentence.
“we have decided that we do believe the incident was an accident so we will not punish you for that.”
sighing in relief, i let a smile crawl across my face that almost hurts my cheeks until-
“but…”
my smile drops immediately and i try not to groan aloud.
“during this break, we fully expect you to show harry a proper welcome to the kingdom and help him fully adjust to life off of the isle.”
my dad nods and picks up from where mom left off.
“yes, we raised you to be kind and to help people, y/n. i know you didn’t have any bad intentions, but you were given the responsibility of helping hector-“
“his name is harry, eugene.”
“yes, that’s what i said. anyways, we won’t allow him to go without help. so by the end of the week, we are going to decide if you have lived up to that expectation and if you haven’t, then when you graduate in a couple months, we will have your punishment prepared.”
this is one of the few times in my life that i can recall him being completely serious when talking to me.
the weight of guilt is on my shoulders once more for overlooking harry’s need for help just because of a few arguments. i nod my head slowly before bowing slightly to them, “i understand completely.”
they finally wish me goodnight and excuse me from the throne room so i turn on my heel and begin the walk from the east wing where the throne room all the way back to the west wing. i make a quick stop by harry’s room to leave him a surprise, knocking loudly on his door before rushing down the hall to my room.
as i’m shutting my door, i can barely hear him open his door and i smile slightly to myself as i imagine his reaction, but just go about my nightly routine.

Adore you (speech read by Rosalia) / Changes
There was a town:
“there is a town”
“in a town grown used to how things were”
An out of the way small town:
“somewhere down a country road... out in the big wild country”
“In all the seas, in all the world, there has never been a land quite like the isle of Eroda. Shaped unmistakably like a frown, it is home to an old but forgotten fishing village”
Tumblr media
Where people loved to gossip too much:
“Livin' off the gossip of a cruel small town”
“The Boy was peculiar from the moment he entered the world. No one ever meant to be mean towards him, but in a town grown used to how things were, no one knew what to do with something different”
Where for some reasons someone didn’t want to live there anymore:
“There ain't nothing here for me anymore” “The river sways, I can almost hear it now as if to say you're not the only one who wants a way out”
“They did their very best to ignore it, hoping it would go away and eventually so did The Boy. He had lost his smile and without it the world grew darker, the wind colder, and the ocean more violent”
But they met someone very special:
“Somewhere out in the big wild country I was fallin' in love in a backseat givin' it away like my heart won't ever break”
"The Boy was not alone in his melancholy. He wondered what could bring despair to something so beautiful. He tried to ignore the fish, but loneliness is an ocean full of travellers trying to find their place in the world. But without friendship, we are all lost and left with no hope, no home, no harbour. He wondered what cruel twist of fate brought them together, and if fate was indeed involved, what did she have in store"

Tumblr media
And in the end they decided they outgrew this town and they escaped:
“Thinkin' nothing's gonna change till everything changes” “So, I go”
“The boy decided to find out what other wonders awaited him in the world”
Tumblr media
So this was it... I think both the speech read by Rosalia and the song Changes might talk about the same thing and that’s why I decided to put here one of the beautiful wonderings at the end of the Adore You mv:
“Maybe one day you will be invited to a marriage of two neighbours who it took an ocean to bring together”
