    Summary

    “Harry, I-I’m so sorry…” Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis’ soul, it’s so hard, nearly impossible.

    That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself.

    But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty “I’m so sorry” that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn’t at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it.

    a fated story of two broken and battered boys who barely survived the unimaginable and how the love of one little brave girl defies all the odds and somehow puts them back together.

    Summary

    In a world mostly seen in grey, colour is a rare, extraordinary gift - reserved for those who have met their true soulmate. There’s nothing one can do but listen to voices anywhere, hoping against all odds to recognise the one that will bring the colour to their life, whatever that might mean.

    Louis has never seen a rainbow, nor knowingly met anyone who has. At thirty-one, he comfortably moves through life in shades of grey, never questioning what he might be missing. Soulmates? Pop culture flirts with the trope, but it feels as distant as time travel, vampires, or superheroes - more fantasy than expectation. Still, every now and then, a glimpse of art or a vivid description in a book sparks a longing for something beyond his monochrome world.

    Then a new technology arrives, and while it proves a game changer for many seeking their one-in-a-lifetime relationship, it gradually turns Louis’ world upside down in ways he could never have anticipated.

    Summary

    “But what if you had a real relationship! What if you entered your Victorius era and wrote a banger about banging your best friend’s brother!”

    Louis blinked. Either his mind was working at half-speed or Niall was being especially stupid tonight. “I never banged my best friend’s brother.”

    “I know that and you know that. But we don’t always have to tell the truth when we write songs.”

    “You want me to write fanfiction about me and my high school crush?” Louis asked. The words were slow to form. “Like… actually?”

    “Why not?”

    Why not? Why not?!?!

    Because the idea was ridiculous, Louis wanted to say. Because he hadn’t seen Harry Styles in person in four years. Because Harry Styles was a stupid childhood crush- a popular, kind, stunning boy secretly adored by a quiet musician who felt every emotion so intensely he had to write them all down or they would suffocate him- and the two never shared much more beyond a game of cup pong and drunken conversations at a Halloween party a million years ago.

    Because…

    ~~~

    A drunken writing session ends with a song detailing the fictitious summer romance between Louis and his former friend’s twin brother.

    It accidentally goes viral.
