#(sorry mobile)

[pm] It's right here, staring at me. I love getting some attention, but this feels a little too personal even for me.

I was tagged by @goldbootsandvans to choose 5 songs from a playlist and make prompts based on them!

1. All or Nothing - Wild Youth

A childhood friends to lovers au; maybe they grew distant when Louis moved away to pursue his dream to the point it was just one line birthday texts. And after years and years it's like a highschool graduation/ birthday weekend for the youngest kid(s) and his family is having a big party and ofc Harry is invited bc he's basically family and someone let's it slip Harry has been in a relationship for a while, so Louis spends the whole trip home hating this guy he's never met and wondering how they became practically strangers, so he avoids him until the last second but of course they end up going off together with a bottle or two of wine and they start talking and they end up really tipsy and somewhere between drinks as they drift closer Louis kinda realizes he's in love with Harry, always has been. Cue dramatic exit because Harry's in a relationship and Harry's confused and kinda sad because he's always had feelings for Louis and he and mystery guy broke up ages ago. The next morning Louis' gone, but they're not far from their secret hideout they made when they were kids so Harry treks up there to find Louis and there's tearful confessions and hugs.

2. Without Me - Halsey

I'm thinking a strangers to friends to lovers au, Harry's a singer and his ex bf is a publicity hungry mess™ and used their relationship and created drama with him for headlines and finally Harry dumped him and so he's getting all kinds of bad press and bad industry rumors about it and so everyone is sort of avoiding him but Louis (who is a well known dj I think) comes up to him one night at a party and he found him to tell him he has sombody on his side because he looked like he needed it and he's impressed with how Harrys handled it all and Harry kinda just bursts into tears over the small kindness this stranger (that he totally stans) is showing him, and after he calms down Louis convinces him to ditch the party and do something reckless so they do and they end up staying out all night and Harry's the happiest he's been in a while so they just keep doing it, they'll go to industry parties only to find each other and ditch until finally they exchange numbers and start doing it more and more and months pass and Harry gets back into the studio and pens a diss song and Louis is like, over the moon for him and kisses him but ofc Harry's ex has sent paps to watch him and ofc they catch it and it's all over the internet and Harry starts ignoring Louis calls etc because he's panicking and he realizes he has Feelings ™ for him and his ex tries to publicly ~win him back and Harry is just. Over It and releases the song and finds Louis and confesses his love and there's kisses and a happy epilogue.

3. Shut up - Greyson Chance

I'm feeling cliche uni roommates who are inseparable au, Louis is the cool bad ass who has Strong Opinions and not afraid to voice them and Harry is slightly more reserved but still shares Louis Strong Opinions and usually ends up being the one keep them from getting punched. Lots of pining and silent convos with their eyes and then the jealousy when some guy starts flirting with Louis one night and Harry cannot Deal with it, starts drinking and gets into a fight and without Louis there to mediate he gets decked and Louis ofc finds him and drags him home and is taking care of him and grumbling about him being reckless and Harry (still tipsy) says something like "you talk too damn much." and Louis (also tipsy) and is like "then do something about it. " and Harry's like "wait wtf" and Louis is like "I know I talk to much I've been waiting for you to shut me up. " and Harry (bless him) still doesn't get it so Louis is like "maybe if you give me your two lips I'll shut up" and Harry finally gets it and they kiss. Then there's cuddling and Serious talks in the morning.

4. Ruins - Jade Bird

An au where Louis is Harry's new neighbor (Harry has a small farm because I said so) and Harry is instantly smitten and Louis is charmed but he lost his husband a few years ago and isn't ready to date yet and Harry is super understanding but he can't help that he falls totally in love with him over the next few months and Louis, he starts to fall too but he's not ready yet so he's unintentionally hot and cold with Harry and eventually Harry's like "it's ok if you can't love me." as he's leaving one day and Louis' like "I do one minute and the next my minds in ruins" and Harry smiles sadly and kisses his cheek. That night some of Harry's animals get loose and it's storming and he's trying to round them up in the pouring rain and the power goes out and Louis is on his way to check on Harry and sees him out in the field and he goes to help him and as they're locking them in the barn, lighting strikes a tree really close and he thinks it knocks Harry off his feet and he panics but Harry's fine and they go inside and it's dark and they're wet and Harry asks him to stay rather than walk in the rain again so he borrows clothes and there's cuddling and bed sharing and Louis has a Revelation and when Harry wakes up they Talk and kiss and an happy epilogue. ( they have two big dogs and a mini pig that thinks it's a dog. )

5. No plan - Hozier

Angel/demon au where theyve been in love and pining for centuries and world ends in like five days and not all evil demon!Harry wants not all good angel!Louis to just leave with him to go to another galaxy because he'll give up the world he's grown pretty fond of to be with Louis and angel!Louis is actually super tempted but he's an angel! and Harry's a demon! and maybe the angels will actually not totally destroy humanity to prove theyre better then the demons! and besides they just! can't! run away together! they're not even supposed to be friends! So the obvious answer is they have to save the world so they can be together for eternity (yes it's basically the plot of good omens, shhh)

#FFXIVWrite2018 Day 2: Silenced

He had been five, and (to Ghes’sae’s chagrin) full of things to say. If it wasn’t a question it was some anecdote or another from whatever ran through his little toddler mind. At that age, Ghes’sae could find a moment’s peace in sending him out to play; the problem was that it only made his babble worse when he came back. ‘The birds’ this, ‘the marmots’ that, anecdote after anecdote on the creatures living beyond the yard.

It reminded him of Fal’ir. He hated it.

It became unbearable one particular night, when Ehnek had been running a bothersome fever. Ghes’sae had gone with his usual tactic of getting Ehnek’a out of his hair with a bag of acorns and instructions to ‘go feed the nutkin or whatever’. It only lasted an hour before the tiny shadow darkened the kitchen door again.

“Ehnek’a,” he sighed, glancing up from the soup bowl, “I told you to go feed the nutkin.”

“I did. Then a hunter scared them and they all ran away.” He tilted his head, and Ghes’sae tried very hard not to see that idiot’s face in his spawn’s again. “The squirrels said thank you though--”

“Ehnek’a, I don’t have time for the squirrels right now, I’m trying to help your mother.” Ghes’sae set the soup bowl down on the tray, carefully balancing it and the glass of orange juice as he picked it back up. “It will have to wait until she’s better.”

“But they said it now...”

He’s five, the logical part of his mind tried to say as he stalked back to the bedroom, he doesn’t know better. To his annoyance, Ehnek’a followed at his heels, talking too much to get a ‘go away’ in edgewise.

“Then all tried to say thank you at the same time,” he continued, “but they aren’t very good at doing it all at once like singing...”

He doesn’t know better.

“So it came out like ‘thank you thank you thank thank you you!’ and it was really funny!”

Why doesn’t he know better?

“I think Mom would find it really funny...”

He should know better.

“Ehnek’a,” he hissed as he whirled on his heels and made the child jump. “I have been working all night to help your mother, and I have told you I don’t have time for your story. Your mother is very sick tonight, and squirrels being silly won’t make her fever go down. Understand?”

That got him to stop, and his eyes went wide at the first bubble of silence since he got back. “... uh... it might make her feel better?”

“I know what till make her feel better and it’s not. Bothering. Her.” His snap was sharp enough for Ehnek’a to flinch back, and it bought him enough time to stop the child when he opened his mouth again. “Now I don’t want to hear another word out of you all night. If you really want to help your mother then you need to stay out of the way and be. Quiet.” He paused for a breath, and to his relief, Ehnek’a stayed silent. “Do you understand?”

Ehnek’a almost said something, but Ghes’sae was quick to raise an eyebrow as his mouth opened, and it was quickly shut and replaced with a nod. “Good.” He straightned back up, readjusting his grip on the tray more comfortably. “Go read your picture book. Quietly.”

Another little nod, and Ehnek’a zipped off for the living room. Ghes’sae stood quiet in the hallway for a few long seconds, and when only silence met his ears, he dropped his stern expression and continued on his way.

The silence carried from hour to hour, enough that when dinner rolled around, Ehnek had to comment. “Ehnek’a has been awfully quiet today...”

okay real talk tho, i know i talk about this a lot but it’s honestly all that’s been going through my head so bare w/ me, i also don’t wanna talk personally to other folks bc stuff like this might be a lil sensitive topic

Growing up in a wealthy family with caring mother, a loving father and a twin-brother made it seem like her life was close to perfect. She had everything she wished for and yet she ended up being the troubled youngster that caused disruption in their perfect daily life. - At least, that was what it looked like from the outside.

It was true that she looked for trouble. Her parents often complained about the way she acted and school meetings were often in order to discuss her behaviour. It had been that way for a while now, but it hadn't always been like that. The outside world judged her and yet, no one knew what happened behind closed doors, no one knew how she grew up. Lily no longer cared, things were fine as they were. Pissing off her parents was something that, at this point, pleased her rather than worried her.

Lily was one of the popular kids in the school, one might say she was the one on top of the social ladder. She was seemingly confident, a typical asshole and guys fell at her feet. She dated one of the jocks and with that, almost filled the role of a typical popular girl. However, she didn't spent her time in school bullying other people, nor did she care much about looks. She didn't like people much and that showed in her behaviour, she told the truth, even when it was harsh, but she'd never look to talk people down.

A new school year, the year before graduation; Lily was dressed in a school uniform as she was supposed to. Her hair was tucked in one braid and she wore red lipstick and light mascara. Their second lesson was history, not something she was particularly looking forward to. Not to get it wrong, Lily was super smart and she knew hell of a lot about history, it was a subject she loved, but she was still stuck in her holiday modes and that was something that was going to last for a few days. Besides, she hardly ever spoke during class and only answered questions if she was asked individually.
