Post ‘Thirst Trap’
Go up Rouen Fire Outlook“So what, like I gotta get you shrooms and find you people to fuck?” Harry says, rereading the list for the 10th time, still in a state of bewilderment.
Louis doesn’t respond.
Harry glances up. Louis is completely silent, staring very hard at a spot on the table.
Something clicks in Harry’s tired brain. “Wait…”
He looks back down at the list. Then back up at Louis. Then at the list again. There’s no fucking way.
Louis clears his throat. “No, like...you’d be doing the fucking.”
-Or-
Frat Boy Harry and Genius Louis are known on CU-Boulder campus as mortal enemies. When Louis realizes he's behind his peers, he creates a bucket list.
And somehow his mortal enemy ends up being the one to help him to complete it. -

Summary
Louis blinks his eyes open, his eyelids fluttering as the room swims around him. He takes several gulps of beer once he confirms that he’s definitely not hallucinating, that the very first portrait Harry Styles ever painted of him is hanging on that wall.
Louis stares at the wall, his heart jackrabbiting in his chest as he realizes that there’s not just one painting of him, there’s five, the portraits lined up like they’re some sort of storyboard depicting the rise and fall of his deepest love. His greatest heartache. A pain that cut him so deep that he left the fucking country, severing all ties with his life in New York, now suddenly surrounding him as if he’d never left.
Fucking shit motherfucker fuck.
Louis returns to New York City five years after he left it – and the love of his life – behind. He didn't intend to see Harry again, but fate has a funny way of pulling them together, whether they like it or not. After making a begrudging truce, they both start to wonder: Would it be so bad if history repeated itself?

Summary
“What’s that on your finger?” Louis asks, his voice higher than usual, slightly panicked as though he’s realised something that Harry hasn’t even begun to comprehend.
Harry looks down on his right hand then, sees nothing and moves on to the left, and—
Oh.
A ring.
Or, Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since the band broke up when a dangerous combination of Niall Horan, tequila, and an ordained Elvis impersonator means that the two of them have to embark on their biggest publicity stunt to date - together.

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.
