This. It's just. I'm incoherent with love for all of this. I mean... I know people have made the comparison between Louis and Peter Pan before, but this story? Is golden. Louis as Peter Pan is just so in character, and lovely, and I'm having a hard time right now resisting the urge to flail and key-mash all over the place. The introduction of Tink, and even just the little glimpses of the rest of the boys... I can't imagine a single way to make this story better than it already is. Truly wonderful. (Also, it's now my own personal headcanon that Louis is actually Peter Pan. That is all)

Oh gosh, this actually made me blush all over the place. I'm so happy you liked it, I really am- and Tink! I had such a hard time trying to figure out a place for her, I'm really glad you liked that I mentioned her. I couldn't think of a Peter Pan without a Tinkerbell, and typically Tink is jealous of all of Peter's girls, but I just couldn't make her Jealous and Angry at Harry, for some reason, ahaha.

I'm really glad you liked this, thank you so much for reading and commenting- seriously, thank you. <3

This is one of my favorite fics I've read in this community. I can't coherently pinpoint what it was that I liked so much about it.

I really liked the confused haziness of Harry's memories - he's trying to figure out what seems so familiar about Louis and he can't quite put his finger on it.

This is, by far, my absolute favorite line:

“Falling in love,” Louis whispers finally, looking down at his feet, “is part of growing up, I think.” He looks up at Harry, bright blue eyes wide and nervous. “I’ve never been very good with growing up.”

All the talk of growing up brought a good few tears to my eyes.

It was just really amazing and well-written and pretty.

I loved it. :)

Oh, gosh. I'm so happy that you liked how Harry's memories were- I was so insanely worried that I overused the cloudiness of them, worried that I was taking too long to get on with him figuring it out.

That was actually the first scene I wrote- I write out of order, see, a lot of times starting with the last bit. I just had that scene in mind since the beginning, and it's actually what started the whole thing!

Thank you so much for commenting and reading <3

This was all kinds of gorgeous, and really believable! I used to love Peter Pan when I was little, and Louis really is a modern Peter. :) Gorgeous stuff!

Louis just reminds me so much of Peter Pan it's almost alarming; I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought so, ahaha <3

I'm so glad you liked this, thank you so much for reading <3

Wow! I'm speechless <3 This is so gorgeously written! I shed a few tears, not gonna lie...

I absolutely loved the ending! And I think that you really have got a lot of talent. Your writing style is beautiful and it kinda takes you to another world.

Oh, and the way that you included all of those little quotes of Peter Pan (the clapping, the thimble,...) was great!

Ah, thank you so, so much! I'm sorry I made you cry, though! And I'm really glad you liked the ending- it was actually the first scene I wrote for the entire fic, so the whole of the fic is sort of centered around the idea and tone I had for the ending.

Thanks so much! <3

This was just... amazing. Wow, I'm totally speechless. I loved this whole thing!

the way Anne didn't even ask why Harry wanted to hear stories, she just told them to him, aww! And then the flying thing and and the relationship between Louis and Harry was just so beautiful :)

And the ending... Almost got tears to my eyes. So beautiful, so flawless!

Thank you for writing this amazng piece (:: xx

Ahaha, I'm glad that you liked how Harry and Anne were with the stories- it was so funny; I asked my mom to tell me the stories of Peter Pan one day when I was in the early ages of writing this, and she just looked at me funny and shook her head and sort of went "I don't want to know" (but then she told me them anyway, ahaha).

I'm so glad you liked this- and for commenting, thank you so much, it means a lot! <3
