1. Isn’t She Lovely?-Harry Styles

Isn’t she lovely?
Isn’t she wonderful?

2. L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N by Noah and The Whale

He’d say L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N
You’ve got more than money and sense my friend
You’ve got heart
And you go in your own way 

3. Hopelessly Devoted To You by Darren Criss

You know I’m just a fool who’s willing
To sit around and wait for you

4. Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran

This feels like fallin’ in love

5. Read All About It (Pt. III) by Emeli Sandé

You’ve got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed.
Baby, we’re a little different
There’s no need to be ashamed 

6. Perfect Company by A Cursive Memory

But just to know I’m right here with you
It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen 

7. Intoxicated by The Cab

Your eyes like a shot of whiskey
Warms me up like a summer night
Can you tell that I need you with me
Let me drink you down tonight
No I don’t just want any pretty face
Wanna wake up next to yours each day 

8. Amazing Because It Is by The Almost

I’m the type of person who lets fear drive

9. Stay by Mayday Parade

Oh can you tell I haven’t slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, I said
“Please understand I’ve been drinkin’ again, and all I do is hope”

He said, I knew you’d come back
My heart told me so
Men like you search every corner on Earth
When there’s love, here at the end of the road 

11. Mona Lisa by The Summer Set

Turn on every light in New York City
I’d still be blind if you weren’t with me
You’re the only one who opens up my eyes
‘Cause I’ve never loved anything like I love you 

12. I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m givin’ you all my love

My little cousin reminds me of ‘Millie Styles’ so much.

Oh my goodness!!  I only just saw this post now, and you’re TOTALLY right!  (She’s absolutely adorable, by the way, and yes that is basically what I imagined for Millie, especially her little hair and cute bow!!)

i think my #1 favorite thing that’s happened in 2012 is when people liveblog my fic and say nice things about it

it doesn’t make me feel like a good writer, but i like making people happy?

May You Enjoy Your New Life by aimmyarrowshigh

:33  Thank you, my little Talla, for making this to cheer me up!  It’s BEAUTIFUL!

Just as a mass-answer to Asks that I’m getting right now:

• If you haven’t noticed, I generally don’t answer anything about what “my real feelings are about IRL Larry” because that’s just not a thing I do on a public blog.  I DO feel badly that at one point in the past, I used to, particularly on a blog with the follower numbers that FHS had, but at the same time, I feel like I mostly talked about the implications of the notoriety of “Larry Stylinson” and what it had the potential to mean for inclusivity in LGBTQAIP young hollywood and its/their fans, and not trying to make sweeping pronouncements that They Are Together! because that just isn’t my jam.  If it came across that way, then I guess it came across that way, and for that I’m sorry, but whatev.  That’s not the point right now.  The point is, no, I’m not going to theorize with you on Tumblr about Why Louis Said It Why Now Why Why Why.  That isn’t, to me, what shipping or fandom is about.  Especially not in public.
• That’s the rub, isn’t it?  The difference between public fandom and flocked fandom?  Can we PLEASE all just move the flailing over to flocked journals on LJ already?  This could have been prevented, and if you are part of what caused him this much anguish, then I don’t feel bad that YOU are crushed.  I feel bad that my friends who have never tweeted him, ever, or Eleanor, or Harry, or ANYONE, feel like they’re being punished for other people being rude.  Sorry not sorry for saying that, but there are different kinds of Harry/Louis shippers — BIG SHOCKER — and the ones who have NOT been gross to or about them are being painted with the same tar brush, and THAT is what sucks in my opinion.
• (Random light thought at that: poor Sugarscape.  What will they do now?!)
• I ship them because I enjoy the fanworks that come out of the pairing and because, up until about February, it was a really nice, small, respectful, inclusive sector of the fandom.  I will say now that I hope that it becomes a small, nice, inclusive sector of fanwork-making fans again, but I’ve ALWAYS hoped that.
• No, I don’t regret writing MYEYNL or any of my other Harry/Louis fanfiction, because there is a world of difference between “fanfiction that is acknowledged to be fictional and posted to a locked LJ community for fans” and “hurling misogynistic insults at someone and begging real interviewers on TV channels to try to out people.”
• No, I will not stop writing fanfiction until or unless an official request is made to the fandom (like GRRM made about ASOIAF, etc).  Again, there is a world of difference between “fanfiction that is acknowledged to be fictional and posted to a locked LJ community for fans” and “hurling misogynistic insults at someone and begging real interviewers on TV channels to try to out people.”
• Yes, I will still write fic that has a Harry/Louis pairing.  It will, as it has ALWAYS BEEN, be AU.  Because if you haven’t noticed, I ONLY WRITE AU FIC FOR THEM.  And for most other things, but.  Particularly with them, it’s been important to me to write AU BECAUSE Louis isn’t comfortable with the pairing.
• Yes, I think he phrased it like an asshole.  I don’t think there is ever a reason to cuss at your fans when you’re in a boy band.  That’s some straight-up The Wanted level shit.
• Yes, I think asking me if I regret writing MYEYNL is a shitty thing to do and that you’re a big assface.
• And yes, I’m very sad that Louis was bullied to this point.  Between this outburst and Zayn leaving Twitter a while ago, I hope the whole band is allowed to delete their twitter accounts like Little Mix did FFS BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE SOLVED A LOT OF SHIT A LONG TIME AGO.

:( Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has read along this long, long writing adventure! I started writing Millie on 3 January 2012, and that means that it has been nine months and Millie is my literal figurative baby and I’m so sad to be leaving this ‘verse!

I have a new Harry/Louis fic coming up on SATURDAY, and I will be posting teasers for that at my Tumblr starting tonight and leading up to posting! I tend to notify for updates to the fic calendar there first, too, if you’re interested in reading things I do besides this particular story. :)

A masterpost of all the art I’ve been doing for aimmyarrowshigh’s FanFic May You Enjoy Your New Life

*May contain spoilers for those who aren’t up to date with the story posting*

It begins for them all at the bungalow – after Liam’s gone out to be a hero and run back inside scared again and they discover they’ve lost the key, so they pull all of the mattresses into a pile in the middle of the room. They’re sitting in a half-circle (so no one has to put his back to the door, just in case that cow really is a murderer) and Louis says,

“Alright, time to lay out the cards”

“And to you, Harry,” Niall adds, giving him a flushed, happy smile. “Go maire sibh bhur saol nua.”

Harry tilts his head, eyes smiling.

Niall ruffles his hair and nods to the photo of tiny baby Millie still glowing on Harry’s iPhone. “May you enjoy your new life.”

“Although you did call her a lizard.”

“That would’ve been a good costume for her,” Zayn says.

This time, it’s Harry who gives Zayn a noogie, and they both get yelled at by Adam and Christina for messing up Zayn’s hair and making his red eyeliner smudge all down his cheek right before showtime.

But she’s here. He’s holding her. She’s breathing hot into the dip of his shoulder and her little legs have strong muscles kicking up and down like she’s trying to run and her head smells like his shirts. His baby. His. His Millie.

He keeps a steady hand covering the back of her round, downy head as he scoots back onto his creaky childhood bed and lies back against the pillows so that Millie is rested over his heart. She fists her hands over his skin and Harry can feel her itty-bitty heart beating up against his and her itty-bitty lungs filling and emptying as she breathes; he swallows hard to stop from crying and wonders if she can hear it. 

“I’m your dad,” Harry whispers, carrying on from moments ago as though nothing had changed – as though gravity were the same and everything in the world still laid out in the same order. “And I know I haven’t been here with you. And I’m leaving again in the morning. And I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, because that’s shit, but um… if this all works out, then I think I can give you a better life. And then I’m never going to leave you again.

Harry stops short and drops his keys into the bowl with a clatter. He cocks his head.

“Why is my baby in a roasting pan?”

Zayn and Liam exchange an exhausted look. Zayn is topless and there’s something unfortunate and pasty stuck in his hair, while Liam’s shirt is completely soaked to his front. They look like they’ve gone through the ringer, or an exceptionally undignified gay porno.

Harry lifts Millie to bring her upstairs and bathe her, change her into a fresh nappy, and put on a new Christmas dress and knit tights. Millie chirrups happily, singing, “Daddy! Bee! Muppie! Bee! Granannaannajay! Kissmiss! Daddy! Bee! Muppie!” and Harry kisses her face all over to make her giggle and shriek. 

Harry gathers up his shoes and trudges out of Liam’s flat. Instead of the elevator, he chooses to walk the flights of stairs to their apartment just to give himself five more minutes to think, five more minutes to weigh pros and cons. He’s got another six days on his deadline, after all.

But Harry can hear Millie’s delighted, shrieking giggles before he even unlocks the door; when when he does and is greeted to the sight of Louis and Millie dancing wildly around the living room – to “Swagger Jagger” of all things – all stompy, shuffling feet and spins and pumping, flailing, silly arms… it hits Harry with a bright punch that makes him lose his breath, in love with his life and his family and so, so in love with Louis. There are no more cons to consider. 

He crosses the room in three strides and kisses Louis right in the middle of his grin, half-landing on teeth and awkward, but his fingertips curl into the downy hair just beneath Louis’ ears and he can feel the soaring surge in the other man’s pulse all the same.

Harry looks down at Millie and reaches out to gently re-curl an errant lock of hair that had mussed during the doggy-slobber attack earlier. He smiles down at his daughter. 

“Yeah, that’s okay,” he says. He pats his lap. “C’mon up, little bean.”

Millie clambers onto his lap and snuggles down close before daintily rearranging her skirt to cover her knees. The crowd unites in an awww! that makes Millie look up worriedly at Harry, but he just smiles. 

“Do you want to say hello to everyone?” he asks gently, giving her a little squeeze. 

Millie ponders this for a moment and nods. Harry adjusts the microphone to point down to her mouth. 

“Hello, everyone,” Millie announces, and everyone awwws and applauds again. The attendant finally settles Bella back into Millie’s lap and Millie immerses herself in quietly petting the dog again.

The camera flashes are blinding. Harry kisses the side of Millie’s curly head and then gives Liam a smile.

“Good to go?” Liam asks. Harry curls one protective arm around Millie and the puppy and gives Liam a nod. “Then this is One Direction, singing ‘What Makes You Beautiful’!”

“Featuring puppies!” adds Niall.

“Featuring puppies,” amends Liam.

“And the irrepressible Millie Styles!” adds Louis, and the audience cheers. Millie, for once, for the first time in over a year when faced with an audience, looks up and beams.

Harry just lifts their clasped hands to his mouth and kisses Louis’ fingers gently. A thin, plain, black gold band rings the fourth finger of his left hand, and until Louis – until this place, this bungalow, five years before – Harry hadn’t realized how immense that was, the enormity of it. He never told anyone, but he had a cheap, tiny crackerjack wedding ring hidden in the sock drawer of his Holmes Chapel bedroom that he had once, a long time ago now, planned to give Clare when their baby was born. He had thought, back then, that it was just the right thing to do, because since they had made the baby, she belonged to them.

But he knows, now, watching Millie’s eyes light up as Jay serves her an enormous slice of key lime-coconut cake, and everyone applauds her for blowing out all of her candles on the first try, that he was wholly wrong.

Louis looks up at Harry beside him and smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. His hairline has receded since he was eighteen. He wears glasses more days than not. But his eyes are just the same, the laugh lines only deepened with time and joy that they’ve shared. And Harry has to kiss him, still clutching tightly to the hand bearing Harry’s ring.

Millie belongs to Louis because they have always wanted each other, and needed each other, and chosen each other – and Harry – over anyone else. Love is that simple sometimes.

Additional drawings/sketches that I didn’t finish:

(puffy cheeks aw)

Hmmmm please, if you’d like to say anything about my art I’d really appreciate if you did! I feel like I’ve been drawing for the past 5 months and no one paid attention to it. If you’ve scrolled all the way down this post, I bet you can say something, whether it’s bad or good, if you enjoyed it… criticism is always good and I need it :) THANK YOU.

PLEASE go leave love for Marta and her amazing art!  I love, love, love, LOVE, love how the art for MYEYNL turned out, and she deserves 1,000 compliments!

I’M CRYING ACTUAL TEARS OVER THIS REC SOMEONE MADE FOR MYEYNL THAT SAYS “WE’LL MISS YOU, MILLIE BEAN” AND I AM NOT OKAY.

STUPID FANFICTION, YOU RUIN MY LIFE, WHY DO I DO YOU.

Cryin’ as I write the last line of MYEYNL at 7:52AM. 

Y’know.  As you do.

I’m so sorry about missing Wednesday! I decided to change the ending from its original plan, so I had the WORST writer’s block figuring out this chapter… keep your eyes peeled, though, because there may be an extra chapter this weekend to make up for it. If not, then the final chapter will go up Wednesday with Ch.29 on Monday, so either way, keep looking! So sorry for the delay. :( (And if you don’t follow my Tumblr or Twitter, I do tend to post chapter status updates there in case of delays, as well as occasional teasers for upcoming fics. JS!)
