Title: Nothing Less Than Poetry and Songs
Fandom: One Direction RPF
Disclaimer: some of them are real people and some aren’t; the fictional ones belong to me, the real ones belong to themselves.
Warnings: I am making shit up about how publishing works, how television shows work, and how fan conventions work. Please just go with it. References to past spousal abuse (emotional and physical). A lack of self-care and minor disordered eating. Talk of depressive episodes.
Pairings: Harry/Louis (eventually), past OMC/Louis, Nick Grimshaw has a crush on Louis
Rating: PGish
Note: I’ve done a little research into what university might be near Doncaster but it’s such a minor thing in the fic. If anything’s wrong, please just handwave it. I’ve also changed some things about the art festival for that university to suit my timeline. Also, nothing about the BBC office as mentioned is accurate, so please just go with it. Probably, the publishing house is wrong, too.
Another note: this is set in 2015-2016 but I’ve aged everyone in Harry & Louis’ families up by four years with the age differences remaining the same. Anyone else’s age has been changed at my whim.


Thanks be to classics_lover for britpicking and betaing!

Pairings: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Jay Poulston/Mark Tomlinson, Jay Poulston/Dan Deakin
Rating: PG
Point of view: third
Wordcount: WIP; 35000 words posted, 56000 written

Note: inspired by a tumblr post

Another note: I wrote 56000 words in three months and then decided nobody but me cared about it so I stopped writing because it stopped being fun. But I WANT to finish this fic for myself, if nobody else. I have the entire damn thing plotted out, after all, and that's only happened once before, on a story half this length. And I still have half the plot go, so no telling how long it's going to be.

Still another note: what I have of this is the longest thing I've ever written, including my thesis. I'm doing research (since I was just making shit up for a medieval, magical realism society) and I changed the title from what it originally was, and I'm going to reread all 56000+ words in the near future because I do dearly love this 'verse. And also, once it's finished, all I have to change are the names and it'll be an original novel, so.

Anyway.
