four era harry styles during the interview where, in response to a question about why he and louis were late, he says “i lost my trousers”

still from louis tomlinson’s behind the scenes clip of the making of lemonade. louis is wearing a dark patterned silk shirt over a black top, wide leg black trousers, and pointy black dress shoes.

I absolutely love The Aces and The Beaches and I love knowing Louis loves them too 😭💛

Watched the interview, and genuinely (and I don't even mean this to be cute) but like... Louis truly is a great person to just sit and admire what he's like.

Posted this on Tumblr but then I wanted it over here too 💛

White text on a black background that reads:

There are new freckles speckled over his cheekbones. Probably from late spring evenings playing footie. Harry counts them under his breath and loves them. It doesn’t ever seem to get old, waking up here, sharing a bed and sharing a life, thinking sometimes that he knows the details of Louis’ face better than his own.

[...]

He reaches over, touches his finger to the tip of Louis’ nose, and when Louis tilts his chin up at the contact, Harry lets his finger slip down onto the cushion of his lower lip. He gets another grin. A gentle kiss for his fingerprint. So, he takes his meandering caress on a tour along the cliff’s edge of Louis’ jaw, and follows a handsome vein down the line of his neck. Feels the pretty thrum of his pulse.

“What’re you doing?” Louis murmurs as Harry traces his shoulder, then ventures beneath the sheets rucked up against his back, flattening his palm along the path of Louis’ spine. “Surveying your kingdom?”

- Of Mates and Men, Chapter 53

You know that bit in Mates where Lottie and Gemma are both staying at the house and H+L both bring flowers back for each other and they call them unbearable? That’s what this week feels like, especially now with H carrying literal sunflowers

"And Harry thinks it’s ridiculous that Louis doesn’t believe in romance because, really, he *is* romance — just walking around dressed as the most beautiful boy Harry’s ever seen. A collection of brooding angles and soft divots, messy and complicated and undeniable."

“Jesus,” he says, glancing at the monitor. “Got all the right bones in your face, didn’t you?”

Bananaheathen @bananaheathen.bsky.social · 27d

Bananaheathen @bananaheathen.bsky.social · 29d

Bless my friends for cheering me on and believing in this fic long before I did 💛🥹

A text conversation between me and a friend. My texts read "This is why I'll never be able to write an epic fic. Because I can't prolong the failed communication skills."

My friend's reply: "I think you've got an epic fic in you. i'm holding out hope. after you finish your like 4 other projects of course 😂"

A text message sent by me to my friends:

"Idk for sure, just spitballing at this point but... what about a fic where H&L are rival best men at Liam & Zayn's wedding?"

A text conversation between me and my friends:

"Um, as I told T earlier-- I've written like 2650 words of this new fic, only to discover it might actually just be the prologue for like... a bit of a longer boi? But I'm also kinda stuck/not sure if it's living up to its predecessors. Considering sending to y'all for a spot of cheerleading"

My friend's reply: "I WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH A LOT IM FREE AF"

"Suppose it could be said the whole mess starts here."

Today marks 5 years since I first published the Mates prologue 😭 I had no idea then what I was in for. I'd just thought, "Oh, this one might be a lil longer than the last one" (which was 11k).

And now it's 5 years & almost 1M words later 💛🫠
