“Why exactly are you here?” Louis asked, feigning annoyance and failing pathetically at it. “My publicist told me I can't go anywhere near you.” Harry said, eyes still smudged with last night's eye liner. “That makes you my favorite person in the world.”
Or the one where Louis has everything: a lead role in a giant Hollywood franchise, a glittering new house with an entertaining Irish neighbor, and a steady, normal boyfriend who he probably loves. Louis never expected to become a household name among young Hollywood overnight. He also never expected to find something endearing about the enigmatic rockstar who keeps showing up on his back porch.
Oh my god, the writing of this was so well done!! All of the relationships between characters and the emotions just, in general, felt REAL. It was definitely a lengthy read, but honestly it was so worth it.
This wasn’t a simple ‘they get together and have an easy happy ending’ kind of story. There were so many raw, heartbreaking moments, but there were equally as many that made my heart swell for the characters. There were so many details that sold the ‘authenticity’ of this fic, especially in the complexity of Harry and Louis’s relationship. You really get to watch them grow as people over the story’s timeline, and the overall length of the story just makes sense when you think about how much they go through together.
I would definitely recommend this if your up for the emotions ;)
Different from what I have read in this fandom so far. The portrayal of drug addiction was very unique for fanfiction. Very well written. Slighty long for me.
I genuinely really liked this fic, the only downside is that it's so LONG and took me basically 2 months with breaks in-between to finish. It was really really good at first and the last half could've been shorter but I really liked their characters and how they interacted with each other. Louis was really likeable and Harry was so soft and I just genuinely really enjoyed seeing this new development. It was adorable. I don't remember a whole bunch because I did start it 2 months ago but I have a lot of good memories and it's a nice read. I did kind of skim towards the end though. Overall, it was nice.
