Commenting before I read because NANTES. ♥__♥ It's been my favourite song since it came out and the Take-Away (Blogotheque) Show performance of it has been on every phone and iPod I've had since the week it was posted. I watched it literally hundreds of times.

Oh god, that song is SO gorgeous. I love the Paris!version and I just love watching the video, and recently I've started imagining that one day this will be Harry Styles? /o\ *sobs*

I loved the fic, omg. Nothing is simple in it, Louis is a mess (but so are the others), the apartment felt simultaneously claustrophobic and hollow because of Liam's absence, and there was this air of... I don't know. Like everything was happening on borrowed time, or Liam's absence was more vivid than Harry's presence. (I kind of couldn't stop thinking that Harry's things may be in Louis' bedroom, but Liam is everywhere. And Harry and Louis both see it, like that thing with the shower gel, ugh. /o\)

So the fic and Zach Condon singing were sort of a lethal combo. ;____; Gorgeous stuff.

Louis is a mess - but he's so confused okay. Threesomes mess up relationships and he just doesn't know how to deal at all. ;_;

Thankyouthankyou

OMG, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME???

;___________;

[prettykitty_aya]

...brilliant btw. sorry, knee-jerk reaction.>_>

♥!

If it's any consolation, writing it hurt me too? :( They just wouldn't fix themselves. Sigh.

Holy hell this was gorgeous!

But my heart doesn't know what to feel!

On one hand, I'm over the moon that Louis and Liam can finally be together the way they wanted too all along, but on the other hand my soul cries because poor Harry is probably about ready to stick his head in the oven while he waits in that kitchen. All alone.

Ugh, just everything about this was beautiful and achy and bittersweet. And I truly hope there is a fluffy follow up, or there is no justice in the world :)

[flimsy]

Louis made a real mess of all of them, didn't he :(

Once I've sorted out all my feelings about the three of them, I'll try and write the third installment, which will be from Harry's POV. So, yes! Fixing them, hopefully soon.

:D

My comment is "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" and maybe "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME" :(

Except, I mean. It's totally excellent and I love it.

[flimsy]

All the time while writing this I kept going "WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF" :(

I just want them to be happy. Sigh.

Thank youuu ♥
