I was seriously laughing so hard that my sister asked me what I was reading. I love your characterization of Louis and his crazy antics. Keep it up.

[clarinetkate]

This was lovely and perfect and satisfied both my harry/louis addiction and my olympics addiction so. Awesome, basically.

[clarinetkate]

yay, thank you! and i fully support those addictions :)

[alittlebitmaybe]

i love this, i love it so much i'm just basically rolling around clutching my face and smiling like an idiot. your louis is beautiful, and alskdgadsg the princess bride and harry being clueless, and torturing liam and zayn with sexual innuendo.

very well done, thank you :)

[clarinetkate]

thank you - i'm so glad people got the princess bride references, because it was a gamble that you all would be as clueless as harry, haha! :D

this. was. BRILLIANT. i've been waiting for an olympics AU FOREVER BECAUSE I LOVE OLYMPICS AU AND I HAVE OLYMPICS FEVER AND I JUST LIKE THE IDEA OF ALL OF THEM BEING ATHLETES AND OMFG HARRY AS A FENCER ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND THE WHOLE IMAGERY OF HIM STANDING UP ON THE STAND.

the match was over. He made a motion to escort Harry away, but Harry shook his head and suddenly stood on the piste, stretching to his full height, long and lean and straight. It was maybe the first time Louis had seen him not casually coolly slumped and he sucked in his breath at the sight.

me. too. louis, me too. i literally held my breath during this part.

PLEASEEEEE WRITE ONE IN ZAYN/LIAM'S POV I'M BEGGING YOU I WILL NAME MY FIRST-BORN CHILD AFTER YOU.

haha, thank you so much. i just like to picture harry and zayn in their white fencers uniforms, mmm. i can totally see it! i'm so glad you liked the sports writing part of it, which i was the most nervous about -- louis' antics i've done before, but never before have i written a thing about sports! so yay! :D
