When All Is Said And Done by lovelarry10 / @chloehl10 (76k)

“You must be thinking of another of your ex-husbands,” Louis snapped back, and Harry stilled, slowly turning to face him. There was something almost dangerous in Harry's look then but Louis stayed firm, not cowering away.

“Thankfully, I only have the misfortune of one ex-husband,” Harry said darkly, snatching up the plates and slamming them onto the table. 

*****

Louis and Harry were married, but things fell apart, ending in divorce, broken hearts and separate lives. Years later, their paths cross once more, and time together forces old feelings to resurface. But is it too little, too late?

Greenhouses AU Series by TiredTiredTz / @tiredtiredtz (63k)

Glass Closets and Greenhouses (60k) Charlton Athletic defender Louis Tomlinson and worldwide sex symbol Harry Styles are rumoured to be hooking up after a viral video filmed at Harry’s Wembley show was posted online by Tommo’s twin sisters. Sources close to the pair tell us the couple have been dating for a while, with rumours of house hunting, marriage and even kids on the cards! Styles, 29, is as well known for his whirlwind love life as his chart topping music. Most recently linked to British fashion designer Alex Millet-Sloan, Harry has stayed tight-lipped on rumours of any romantic rendezvous between himself and footballer Tomlinson, 31, yet fans online are convinced that all evidence points to #Tomlinstyles being the real deal. Not Conditional (3k) Harry is bald and this is how I’m coping. Set a few years after the events of Glass Closets and Greenhouses.

It Feels Different When You’re With Me by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings (45k)

Harry fell in love with sign language as a kid. He never imagined the first love of his life would lead him straight to his second.

Every Lonely Place by HamPalpert (38k)

Facing the fact that he’s been prioritizing his career over his relationship, Harry proposes to his longtime boyfriend Louis on a whim. But when yet another work emergency takes precedence over their plans, Louis decides he’s had enough. Harry goes to bed drunk and alone, and when he wakes, he finds himself in an entirely different world. Over and over again, Harry visits a lifetime he’s once lived, across time and dimensions. And wherever there’s a Harry Styles, there’s a Louis Tomlinson.

The Act of Making Noise by suspendrs / @suspendrs (32k)

“Oh,” Harry frowns, waving him off. “No, I could never. I respect myself too much to sing for a living.”

It feels like a slap across the face, but Louis does his best not to stiffen, blinking once and then frowning. “What?”

“Those people are always so miserable, you know?” Harry says, hopping down off his stool and straightening his sweater. “There’s so much pressure on them, and they have to work so hard to keep up appearances, I can’t even imagine how difficult that is. I can’t even stand to listen to pop music today, let alone watch TV or read the magazines. It makes me so sad, thinking that those people, you know, the ones who actually went into it with heart, they only ever just wanted to make music and instead they got turned into things on leashes being paraded around to make money for other people,” he says. “Anyway, you can have the stool.”

Or, Louis's famous, Harry has no idea who he is, and they get snowed in together at a ski lodge in Vermont.

It’s About Time by kingsofeverything / @kingsofeverything (3k)

Best friends and roommates, Louis and Harry have been through a lot together, including law school for Louis, marriage and divorce for Harry. Their imminent eviction forces them to admit their feelings.

it is officially my 1 year anniversary of writing and posting my first fic, thus starting this whole tumblr thing! it was technically from my old blog that got deleted, but I still count it because this was the day it all started for me.

I still remember the anxiety of posting my first fic, waking up to see all the love it had recieved over night was so incredible. I might look back on it now and cringe, but I'm thankful for it anyway. and hopefully, over this past year, I have grown and gotten better. But even if I haven't, I've had so much fun doing it.

it might sound cheesy and a little sad to some people, but tumblr has honestly been such a positive force in my life for the past year, perhaps one of the only ones. it has brought me more joy, love, and friendship than I could've ever imagined.

the community I have on here is so close to my heart, and I truly adore all of you. thank you for putting up with me and reading my stuff for a whole year, I appreciate every one of you more than words can say.

I never thought I'd be here this long, and part of me feels like I'm kind of on borrowed time. But I will stay for as long as I'm still passionate about writing, and for as long as y'all are here enjoying it.

anyway, ik this is tumblr, and it's not that serious, but it is to me. thank you all for everything! I love you :)

Quackity proposing to the reader and ends up posting it to the world about his engagement 🙂

Thanks for the request!

The world has no right to my heart, a Quackity short story.

You were so happy with the fact that Alex proposed you! After three years of dating, you were going to marry him, the man of your life!

With a smile on your face, you open your Twitter only to see your name and Quackity's name on trending topics, you open it and see that he said he proposed you. He said on Twitter. He said.

"Alex, what the fuck?! You proposed me ten minutes ago and you just posted it on Twitter? Why?!" You approach him on the living room, making your boyfriend frown his eyebrows in confusion. "Yeah, what's wrong?!"

"What's wrong?! Really?! Why did you do that?" You asked him, upset. "You didn't need to! You know I don't like to expose our private life like this."

"They would notice the rings anyway, amor. C'mon, are you really upset with me because of that?!" He asks and gets up, approaching you. "Yes, because if they noticed it would be different than you just... Saying it to everyone, Alex!" You say and he sighs. "You didn't have to do it, man."

"I was happy, amor, I wanted to share it with my fans, they saw the beginning of our love story." He said and it's your time to sigh. "You should've asked me first, Alex."

"I'm sorry, amor. Please, can you forgive me?!" He gives you a sad look and you smile, trying to calm yourself down. "Sure, Alex... But please, next time I want you to let me know what you want to do, okay?!"

"Of course, amor. I'm sorry, I love you." You nod and kiss his lips. "It's okay, 'Lex. I love you too."

"Let's plan our wedding?!" He asks and you smile. "Pleaseeee!" He smiles and kiss you.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy the writing! :)

Requests are open!

i was just thinking about boyfriend!jaehyun and how he would spend quality time with you. he would take you out on dinner dates and then he would take you back to his apartment to pour you a glass of red wine while the two of you swayed lightly in the living room listening to some cigarettes after sex songs playing on his vinyl.

you would go on museum dates, art galleries, concerts and he would take pictures of you with his camera to capture each moment, while complimenting you with each pose you stroke.

you would do movie night marathons together, you would spend hours in the kitchen trying to make crêpes following a recipe you found online, even if your attempts failed.

you would sing duets together, jaehyun would strum random chords on his guitar while you hummed random soft melodies on top of the sound.

jaehyun would help you remove your makeup after a long, tiring day and he would let you fall asleep on his chest while he would plant soft kisses on your forehead.

*Happy anime narrator voice*: “And thus, Kokichi has once again successfully evaded the dread of emotional openness!”

Also here’s a random selection of derpy concept doodles for this comic :)

Thank you byeeeeee

i really don't know what 'i love you' means. i think it means, 'don't leave me here alone.'

<3

you know it's serious when you start pulling out the kpop song lyrics... caption quote by neil gaiman himself and song by got7

“Sing, let your heart soar! Sing forever!

Sad and so happy! Feelings flow over

Now our world is full of all kinds of colors

Closing my eyes, I still can see the stars…”

Overmorrow -FIN-

sorry for only posting lisa it will happen again

What do you think about gojo ships

I feel like I'm pretty indifferent to most of them. This is super cringe of me, but whenever I fall super in love with a character I don't often like shipping them romantically with anyone. 💀 (im delusional I know)

It doesn't help that for some reason the jjk fandom (especially twt) is weirdly aggressive about ships. I know it isn't all the shippers and it's mostly just the loud minority, but seeing so much of the discourse has kinda put me off and I don't really engage much with the ships in the fandom except for rarepairs and selfships bc alot of the time those communities are more wholesome and cozy (if that makes sense LOL)

ok. I’m going to say it.

I love ALL eras of boreo/decklikovsky EQUALLY, and I will FIGHT for EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Las Vegas era? Brilliant - the inexplicable teenage love and lust for each other (terrifying and amazing) - caring for someone because they’re the only person in the universe who cares for you, getting drunk and high and altogether plastered together because you’re so traumatized and lonely that you don’t know how to bond with people in any different way and hey, you both like it (a little too much in fact) so why not?? It’s DELICIOUS. this part of the book was just written too well to be put down as “unfortunate” or “less than”. It’s so so so sad and raw and angry and vulgar and and and

And you couldn’t even have post-Vegas New York, Antwerp & Amsterdam without it!! Where would the tension, the longing, the shock of seeing your - best friend? ex best friend? The guy you hate so much because you love him even more ??? Where would all of that come from without such a complex, tangled backstory???? There’s no one without the other!!!!!!

hi hi hello i have been gone forever due to various reasons such as “work” and “mental illness” and “having developed a kpop hyperfixation that has been occupying most of my attention recently” but i need everyone to know that i saw off book live twice last week (in philly with a friend and then in nyc with my girlfriend) and it was truly so everything. i didn’t get many pictures but i did get a few and none of them are very good but one of them is of jess’ amazing stool balancing act and that’s all i need really

Nightow naming the chapter 'Wolfwood' has always stuck with me, specifically because of the way it makes the chapter end:

We spend a short amount of time at the end of this chapter with the brief belief that Wolfwood might actually be fine. Us, the readers, alongside Vash, are temporarily allowed a moment of denial before reality comes crashing down again.

And then this. Something as simple as the chapter's end notice, here to inform you that no, this is the end. The end of Wolfwood - the chapter and character, both.

papas day

i will never be able to put into words how amazing it is to have hanae natsuki play mikoto

actually you know what the blue team fans are making this event insufferable. god forbid a red team fan make a post wanting their team to win. None of the red team viewers here can talk about anything without blue team fans shitting on them. Blue team fans, you’ve gotta start watching media with a more critical eye because your constant horrible interpretations are turning this place to shit!! Badboyhalo specifically has been using shitty dirty tactics the whole event, and yes he’s allowed to do that but this post ain’t about him—it’s about YOU. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. he does anything there are a dozen posts like “oh i bet the red team fans are going to complain about this again when their tactics are even dirtier” like you can’t be serious have you been watching the same content as me?? Bad’s tactics have always been the dirtiest, out of anyone. Red team has barely done anything that could be considered dirty. There’s a reason why all of blue team’s wins have been super unsatisfying while red team’s victories always feel like a victory. Blue team not only plays dirty, takes advantage of bugs and lag, but also always acts like their in the right about it. The difference is, the actual ccs are doing rp, while the fandom is just being dicks. and if the red team does anything cool its “oh this is unfair the rules are so stacked against blue team” literally wtf is wrong with you. shut up shut up shut up. let red team fans make posts about strategy and winning and rules without people in their replies starting arguments. let red team fans complain about their favorite character dying from lag or whatever without blue team fans making neg posts about that like goddamn just let people enjoy the content. “oh but red team has more fans” tbh their fans are wayyyy more respectful from what i’ve seen on here. blue team enjoyers you’re just being shitty people at this point. you don’t need to complain about everything.
