From All in the Golden Afternoon to... everything else:
Part One: All in the Golden Afternoon
For the @secondtimesacharmfest 2024 | 126,040 words | E | Strangers to Lovers | Kid Fic They met in a bakery...
When Louis Tomlinson needed to find a new preschool for his daughter, he wasn't expecting the one across the street to be everything he and Goldie ever needed.
Or: the one where Louis is closed off, Harry is the weirdest person ever, and Gemma may as well be a psychic.
Somehow, calico-cat-style, they forge a beautiful family from pieces that don't quite fit.
Part Two: Always Room For Pie
For the 1D Comfort Fic Fest 2024 | 14,035 words | E | Established Relationship | Kid Fic
We left off by a little creek on a playground on an evening at the end of June. One year later, they're still creating their own happy endings. With Pie.
Part Three: Can You Hear Me Calling
For the Second Times a Charm Fest 2024 | 108,776 words | E | Established Relationship | Kid Fic
What comes after golden afternoons and oddly crunchy apple pies? Well, for these weirdos, a three-year whirlwind of life, love, poorly behaved cats, big changes, bad choices, birthdays, mistakes, more life, more love, passports, treehouses, and flowers for days. Will they ever start believing that they're already home?
With help from family, friends, magical creeks, acorns, mermaids, Audis, a handful of second chances, and Gemma (always Gemma)...
They'll be alright.
Part Four: Goldie's Twelve, Harry's Irrational, Louis is Murderous, Niall Has Lost His Consonants, and Gemma is Still Gemma

When You've Loved Someone
For the Short and Sweet Fest 2025 | E | 9,206 words Established Relationship
Harry and Louis loved each other before they even know they loved each other, but sometimes, in some ways, love isn't always enough. Or is it?
A tiny little story, spanning several years and from multiple points of view, obsessed with trying to figure out if, and how, we can reconcile our dreams as individuals in lives that are partnered. Because life gets hard, and it gets messed up, when you give so much, but it's not enough.. when the highs too high and the lows too low... when you love someone and they let you go.
