can you please recommend some stories that are really good and amazing written but maybe are a little underrated? Or not that many people know them? Some hidden treasures
Ohhh there are so many underrated, amazing fics out there. I'll give you three of my favorites from this year that I think people are missing out on...
Train Tracks and Porcelain by @jaerie
At the first hint of light, Louis was slowly brought back to consciousness by the growing swell of activity around him. It started in the distance with loud clanks and clatters and rose with the hollers of men and thudding of boots against the solid earth. He listened as he blinked the sleep out of his eyes and tried to place any sounds he was familiar with. It took him too long to remember that he wasnât back in his rented room. The energy was what floated to him next, a buzz that made him peek through the leaves to see what was going on.
The next moments happened in the strange slow motion of dawn. Shadows were forming into people and things and, there in the middle of it, Louis watched the humongous head of an elephant emerge from a box car right in front of his eyes.
Or a Water For Elephants inspired AU
Suddenly Last Summer by @disgruntledkittenface
Louis is bored, rich and lonely. He has no reason to expect that this summer in the Hamptons with his friends will be different from any other â until he meets Harry. Suddenly he has someone who listens to him and cares about what he thinks. Someone who really sees him. But their happily ever after is forever marred by an incident at a party during Labor Day weekend, and Louis is left with a choice to make.
De amore ex tempore by @persephoneflouwers
"Jump! For fuck's sake, Louis, jump!"
Louis looks down curiously at the ground and notices that the backpack is gone. The grass appears greener than it did before; a minute ago there were streetlights in front of him - why is there no light now? His brows furrow.
âIs there a blackout tonight?â
He starts coughing uncontrollably as if water has flooded his lungs. He brings his hands around his neck, feeling like he cannot talk nor scream for help â he canât breathe.
âLouis, jump!â
And he canât see, feel or hear anything, but trusts the voice. He jumps. Then itâs just cold and dark.
Or: the Middle Ages AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late.
& Or: the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.
