💖 The Million Reasons Why by @reminiscingintherain

I read this gorgeous fic from 2014 and left a little comment, just a little “I loved this!” The author is active but no longer writing in 1D fandom, so I figured they’d just give me a passing thought and move on. But they responded!!! As a reader, this is the best feeling in the world. (I know not all writers are up to responding to comments, but when they do it’s like getting a little hug back.)

So—just do it. Even on the old fics. Even on the writers who are no longer in the fandom. Just put a little more love out there.

The fic in question:

Love in Slow Motion by sloganeer

A series of glimpses into the life of Harry Styles, pop star turned fashion designer; his husband, Louis Tomlinson, football legend; and their four adorable children.

Louis turned and looked right at Harry. It was Harry's job to blend in and never disturb the guests, and Louis had heard him laugh.Before Harry could shake his head and wave an apology, Louis stuck out his tongue. Over his shoulder, right at Harry, then he grinned and turned back to the interview.Harry felt his knees buckle. He propped himself up against the wall and waited for Nick to send it to a song.-Or, Harry is much younger, and Louis is much older, but he's still in a band, and they still fall in love.
