    or: after recruiting harry to model for his sculptures and coming to know all his edges, louis loses him to a life more prosperous than he can provide. he finds harry again four years later.

    Summary

    "What are you doing here, Harry?" Louis asked with confidence, his gaze briefly flickering to Harry's plump lips, a momentary hint of desire flickering in his eyes.

    "I…" Harry's voice caught in his throat as Louis' gaze travelled downward, coming to rest on his chest. Without hesitation, Louis raised his hands from the desk, bringing them to Harry's chest, helping him button the one he had missed. When he attempted to pull away, Harry's hand shot out and gripped at his wrist.

    "You're shaking," Louis observed, his eyes shifting to their joined hands before returning to meet Harry's gaze, unwavering.

    "It's…" Harry cleared his throat. "It's you. You make me… I don't know what is happening to me."

    "What do you feel?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.

    "It's… warm," he began, shyly bringing Louis' hand against the centre of his chest over his shirt. "Here." His hand slid down to his stomach, their eyes locked in a powerful gaze. "And here." They remained silent for a moment, both captivated by the intensity of their connection. "Every time you're near me."

    Or : It's 1960, Harry is a freshman at Oxford, and he cross path with a flamboyant blue eyed boy that is going to change his life.

    Summary

    it’s the late 50’s. times are ‘simple’. rock n roll is in full swing. vinyl, music and dancing are the primary ways of entertaining yourself, and in a time where loving someone of the same sex is illegal, two strangers catch each other’s eyes across a dancefloor and do just that.

    over the span of a year and in between two cities, harry and louis happen to find each other at just the right time. through a hot and heavy summer and a bitter winter, their journey is one of self; self discovery, self-acceptance and self love. this is a story of navigating sexuality in a time where man and woman are the only accepted forms of love by law, where learning to hide your love for someone becomes a matter of survival and safety. a story where above everything, they stick together and weather the storm. its hard, incredibly hard, but no matter the road, it's one worth taking

    or the self indulgent 50’s au where i wanted a safe space to explore the culture, history, and sexuality of being gay in a time when it was extremely difficult to do so. includes, lots of questionable dancing, healing your inner child, and one heck of an emotional ride.

    Summary

    "You're scared," Harry accused, frustration edging into his voice. "Scared that if you let me back in, things might not be the same. But I can't live with this distance between us."

    Louis clenched his jaw, battling against the vulnerability bubbling beneath the surface. "It's not that simple. We can't just pick up where we left off. We are not teenagers anymore."

    Undeterred, Harry closed the gap, breath mingling with Louis's. "Maybe it doesn't have to be the same. Maybe it can be better."

    Louis's resolve wavered, his gaze softening, but fear quickly returned to his eyes. "I can't risk it."

    In the charged silence, Harry's gaze fixated on Louis's lips, an unspoken understanding passing between them.

    "Harry…" Louis warned, his voice a barely audible plea, their breaths quickening, anger transforming into a potent undercurrent of desire.

    Louis turned to face him again, their noses brushing. He looked up through dark lashes, deep blue eyes wide and shining.

    "Tell me to go, and I swear I won't..." Harry's breath hitched as their eyes locked, the undeniable physical pull between them erasing the words that had driven them apart. "Please, tell me to go," he begged once more.
