anon, I can’t tell you how much this message means to me 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

genuinely, am answering this with tears in my eyes. this may possibly be the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me about something I’ve written. obsessed with the fact that Casual makes you think of the road not taken. I can def see that and I think the vibes are definitely there. thank you for pointing out the similarities bc I don’t think I ever would’ve thought about it on my own 🥹🥹 I’m so thankful that something I have written has had such an impact on you.

your hand in my hand, so still and discreet

“It was about how cold he was under me. How still. It was knowing that even if he had died, even if he was already dead, he would still be mine.” * Louis thought he knew each one of his boyfriend’s stories, secrets, and kinks. Turns out Harry was keeping a crucial one hidden away.

From the special agents au. I've been tagged by @larry-hiatus. Thank youuu.

*

He moves his hands higher, to Harry's hips, waist and his sides. He enjoys just the feeling of Harry under his hands, how solid and real he is. After weeks of not being sure he will ever see him again, it's grounding him to have physical evidence that he's back and well.

He knows he shouldn't think like that, not when they are at such great risks every day. Both here in London or wherever in the world they are.

It's not easy, though, seeing how many things can go wrong just in a matter of seconds. And not knowing anything for weeks about how he is, where he is and...

He's coping; they both do. Doesn't mean it isn't hard.

It makes him think that no relationship agency rule, actually has a pretty solid point. (...)

Then there is thickening under his fingers, and Harry hisses at the same moment. Louis knows damn well by now how a bandage feels under any kind of material, and its placement makes him suck a sharp breath.

It's under Harry's arm, on the left side of his rib cage, just at the height of his heart.

He jerks his hand back and his head up. His wide eyes find Harry's guilty ones.

"What..." but Harry doesn't let him finish; he's body is tense now, but his voice is calm.

"A knife. Hand-to-hand fight. There were two of them."

"Fucking hell, Harry."

"It's okay," Harry shrugs. "It wasn't even that deep."

Louis huffs. Yeah, he can see that. If it were any deeper, they wouldn't have this conversation. And instead of being trapped in this building, they would have attended a fucking funeral, who knows if not with an empty coffin.

When Harry winces under his hard gaze, Louis knows he got all that without him saying it. He steps back, lets his hands fall off Harry's thighs.

"Shirt off. I will get the kit."

A passed-out omega on the bathroom floor isn't exactly what Harry had in mind when he thought about taking a cute boy home. The idea of leaving Louis there, vulnerable and unresponsive, weighs guiltily at Harry's conscience. Turns out it's the best decision he'll ever make.

safe and sound here in our world - 62 comments. max verstappen/daniel ricciardo

hello, max!

Max shakes his head when he parks, sure his mind is playing tricks on him. Too much adrenaline. Too much emotion. He’s never felt so good in a car before but he thinks he might be taking it a little far if he’s imagining the car talking to him. He's about to climb out of the cockpit, arms hoisting himself up when he hears it again.

can’t wait to do it again with you.

Or: A boy and his car. And Daniel.
