Make It Everlasting So Nothing’s Incomplete - supernope - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] “Harry. Harry. Harry. Don't Unplug Me Or Shut Me Down - slashter - One Direction (Band) Louis hates his job. Okay, so that's not exactly true. The pay's nice and the hours are flexible and his boss loves him and his apartment's just a five-minute bike ride away. It makes some use of his electrical engineering degree, even if he's not exactly assembling circuits or computer chips like he'd envisioned himself doing straight out of college in some cushy job.

i’m a beggar in the morning (i’m a king at night) - writtensoul - One Direction (Band) i’m a beggar in the morning (i’m a king at night) 5 and 7 “I know him from the playground.” You'd fit my lonely arms so perfectly - Chapter 1 - boxofwonder - Haikyuu!! Chapter Text It's the quiet that gets to him the most. At work, Daichi is always on the move, always keeping his co-workers in check (Nishinoya and Tanaka will actually cause him early hair loss and chronic high blood pressure at this rate). He talks what feels like all day, his hands are always moving. He gets his coffee in hasty sips in passing, devours his lunch while squeezing in a little more work, cheeks stuffed. It's stressful.

The Breath Of All Things - Chapter 1 - KismetJeska - Supernatural Chapter Text Dean thinks that even if he was knocked out, taken a thousand miles away and kept in a cellar for twenty years, he’d still be able to draw a complete diagram of his bedroom from memory. He’d make the conservative estimate that he spends ninety-five percent of his life in here, and old habits die hard; his brain has yet to realise that it doesn’t need to memorise escape routes anymore. it's always have and never hold, you began to feel like home - lumineres - One Direction (Band) It's two am when a text lights up Louis' phone. He was awake anyway, wallowing in a cloud of his own pathetic singleness and trying to build up the motivation to wank. But, alas, he is very lazy and apparently his sloth-ism has no limits. He reaches over and picks up his phone, glaring at the porn on his screen that has failed to do anything helpful. The text is from Harry: be ready in 5, I saw ur lights on, lets drown our sorrows in chocolate milk

the value of this moment lives in metaphor - broken_anna - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] Louis couldn't say he was a huge fan of student gossip. Working as a high school teacher—for drama, no less—it was obvious he would hear it everywhere. Half of the small plays the students would write and perform for the early term courses included the standard talking-behind-someone's-back plotline. Before class even started, his kids would come in and talk amongst themselves about Jessica's hair or Bradley's hook up at that party last night.

Can't Shake You Out - fackinglouis (homosexualsok) - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] Louis’ looking through his refrigerator, trying to find something to make that doesn’t require a lot of effort because he figures ordering take out for the third night in a row kind of negates the whole ‘adult’ thing he has going on for him. So far he’s only found milk and alcohol and a whole lot of unopened bottles of ketchup from that time he and Niall tried to throw an indoor barbecue in the middle of winter. He’s almost resigned himself to go find his phone and call up the pizza joint a couple blocks away when the fire alarm starts blaring. He sighs exasperatedly, glances down at his furry moose slippers and purple pajama pants, and stands up.

Hold Me Closer - Chapter 1 - balanceds - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] Chapter Text On the morning of what may prove to be the biggest day of his professional career, Louis wakes up, pulse racing, before his alarm can even go off. He’s not totally sure that he’s actually slept at all--it’s felt much more like he’s just been vaguely drifting in and out of a doze. It’s understandable. Today is Contract Day at the English National Ballet, and by the end of the day, Louis might be the youngest Principal Dancer in the company’s history.
