    Summary

    Eight months after everything fell apart, Harry shows up at Louis’ door unannounced, unstable, and too honest for his own good.

    Louis has finally built something steady. A life. A boyfriend. A version of himself that doesn’t revolve around the past.

    But history doesn’t dissolve just because you outgrow it.

    Some loves don’t end.
    They just learn how to wait.

    (or an au where Louis loses himself when the band ends and Harry finds the world.And then, years later, it switches. They were never really together and never really apart after 2015.

    After a fight in August 2023, Harry disappears at the height of everything he built. No statements. No sightings. Louis finally knows who he is. Harry doesn’t recognise himself anymore.)
