Summary
It’s just that this stranger is really quite (very, extremely) pretty. And Louis knows it isn’t some magical effect of dehydration or delusion because he is present enough to notice the stars and stripes pattern adorning his head. A US flag as a headscarf. This would have had Louis running in the opposite direction in normal circumstances. The Northwestern lilt in his British accent helped somewhat, but Louis might have actually fucked a Texan in any case.

Or, hiking is not a spiritual experience and Louis will die on that hill.- Language:

I loved this fic so much. Harry's earnest sweetness and positive energy, and Louis' ornery frustration and then willingness to open up his broken heart, were so well written. The descriptions were detailed to the point that I felt as though I was sweaty and filthy from hiking the sweaty trail and was so relieved when they got to the showers! lol Banter is one of my favorite parts in a story and theirs was superb! This fic was delightful!!

Summary
Harry and Louis loved each other before they even know they loved each other, but sometimes, in some ways, love isn't always enough. Or is it?
A tiny little story, spanning several years and from multiple points of view, obsessed with trying to figure out if, and how, we can reconcile our dreams as individuals in lives that are partnered. Because life gets hard, and it gets messed up, when you give so much, but it's not enough.. when the highs too high and the lows too low... when you love someone and they let you go.

This is an emotional, gorgeous story. The writing is wonderful and the characters so well developed that I hated to say goodbye to them at the end. One of my favorite fics ever.

Summary
Louis takes a third-grade teaching job in Clover Hill as a favor, mostly because he has nowhere else to go. He lost his job as a sous-chef, and everything else in Chicago fell apart. This Hallmark-channel town feels more like punishment than a fresh start. Louis prepares for the worst ten months of his life.
Until Harry, the art teacher who ribbon laces his sneakers and paints rainbow fences, makes it really easy to get distracted.

Beautiful story, with all the detailed descriptions that I look for. The characterization was so wonderful. The subject matter was heavy, but written so well. One of my top favorite fics.
Depression, chef Louis, art teacher Harry, small town, chosen family, love.
