Fanfic summary: Harry/Louis

Harry Styles runs a moderately successful travel blog where he writes about ghosts and has published a few books on the subject while he travels the country in his RV. While doing research for his newest book, he winds up in a quiet little village with a whole lot of ghost stories and rumors waiting to be discovered and a single man who happens to have just as many stories and rumors that follow him as well. Fic also includes resident "weirdo" Louis who may or may not actually be a witch. (He's a witch, he just wants to be left alone!)

Coming soon to @onedirectionbigbang !!!!

Author Rec: patdkitten/ @doncasterkitten

This author has a ton of fics that are very exciting! There’s witchcraft, vampires, and dragonriders! If fantasy is your thing, this author has a fic for you! But they also have much-beloved tropes like royalty au and a/b/o fics. 

They have 20 complete One Direction fics and one older WIP with Larry as the main pairing and one time travel fic with a Louis/Louis pairing. 

They also have a smattering of fics in other fandoms. If your interested, there are three Panic At the Disco fics and one fic each in Infernal Devices, Glee, and Parsol Protectorate. 

Please check out this author and cover them in love and appreciation!

12:  Bright colourful living room or neutral cozy living room?Neutral and cozy! But I do like a punch or two of colour.

21: What snacks do you usually get at the theater?Popcorn with butter and white cheddar popcorn. Always.

22: What’s an underrated video game/ movie/ show you love and think it needs more recognition?Hmm, this is a hard one! I'm not sure if this is really underrated, but Heroes of Might and Magic. I started playing it from the first game and have always enjoyed it, but I've only met one other person who plays it. It's awesome if you like fantasy and strategy games.

Thank you!

19. Do you read porn or does it make you uncomfortable? I definitely do read it. Like 80% of the fics I end up reading contain at least one sex scene (there’s usually always more than one) and yeah they’re great. Yay sex!

25. Any kinks that you’d love to try in real life? More than one haha! Probably start small with some handcuffs or something?

31. Do you read AUs? I do! There’s a lot of college AUs out there and I really get into them if they’re well written. If its football captain Louis I’m 100% there. Or any kind of cocky/sassy Louis :)

32. Favorite AU tropes? College, for one. I also really like baker!Harry (not very original but what can I say RNTM is AMAZING), I read a tribal kind of alpha/omega fic that was sooooo good! (link), any kind of royalty!Louis (Swim in the Smoke is in my top 3), ones where either Harry or Louis are big CEOs and the other works under them, coffee shop AUs can be really good depending on how predicable they are. I’d really like to read some merman/sailor fics! I’ve read Drowning in Your Eyes and I wish it was longer)

33. Least favorite AU tropes? Nerdy (Marcel) Harry, badboy/innocent, multiverse... that’s all I can think of right now, I feel like there’s more

Coming Soon!!!!

“You know those are bad luck, don’t you?” A voice comes out of the darkness the cat had retreated to. For a moment, Harry’s convinced that the cat must’ve spoken from the darkness with that thick accent, but then a man emerges from the darkness with the same cat balanced on his shoulder. There’s something familiar about him that Harry can’t place, even though he’s sure he’s never met this man in his life.

The man’s blue eyes drill into Harry’s, the only bright colour in the dim light of the shop. “Don’t you?” He repeats, his gaze flicking toward the oracle boards Harry had nearly touched. “Besides,” the man goes on, tucking his hands into the pocket of the bulky hoodie he’s wearing, despite the warmness of the day outside. The action makes Harry’s gaze drop to the design on the dark hoodie: a white fox being lifted into a white UFO on a forest green circle. “Most people think they’re the work of the devil.”

“I don’t.” Harry responds, reaching for the board once more. It’s more solid than he was expecting it to be, the carvings burned into the pale wood. It’s certainly a work of art, he thinks as he replaces it to the stack. “I wouldn’t use one myself, but I don’t think they’re the work of the devil.”

The man stares at him again, making Harry feel like the man’s trying to bore his way under Harry’s skin, see into Harry’s soul. He meets the man’s gaze steadily, wondering what the man’s looking for from him. After a few more minutes of silence between them, broken only by the sound of low purring from the cat balanced on the man’s shoulder, the man snorts.

“You’re that travel writer staying at Liam’s.” The man reaches up to scratch the cat’s chin, turning his attention to the animal. “I saw your van pull in yesterday.”

“You saw my....” Harry begins before stopping when it clicks why this man looks familiar. “That was you going onto the moors.” At the word ‘moors’, the man’s blue eyes flick toward Harry’s face before back to the cat once more. “The couple of people I asked about it just said I must’ve seen a ghost.”
