aw this was so good. I loved loved LOVED how you portrayed the nick harry friendship, and the line where he says they havent had sex in a while..I don't know why I got so emotional about that but he seemed so small and upset that it broke my heart a little. You give me hope that maybe they are still working things out, that they have these fights and disagreements but can come back to each and be happy if only for a couple of hours. I've honestly been starting to feel like there is no way they could stay together and be happy with all the shit they have to deal with but this just perked me up and made me think it's still possible. wonderfully written, hope to see more by you!

Thank you so much! I worked in a few of my own personal headcanons about what's been going on recently and I'm glad they came across as believable and in-character. Oh I'm sure you will! Watch this space ;)

This was adorable. I also thought the tattoo was quotation marks. What do you think the 66 means?

[carbonics]

well! there's a little theory that it MAY have something to do with '66 being the year The Beach Boys released Pet Sounds, the album that Wouldn't it be Nice was from - and we all know what Wouldn't it be Nice means. It's a little tinhatty and far-fetched but it's still a possibility, and that's what I was gunning for with this. Glad you enjoyed it anyway :)

High praise coming from yourself! Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it :)

Oh, this is so sweet and achey. I love how they love each other and I love how differently they react to things and how difficult it is to understand/reach each other some times. The scene with Nick was really lovely too. <3

[carbonics]

That's the thing I love about them, how different they are yet they still work so well together. UGH I could write sonnets about it, I really could. And I'm glad Nick was believable, I've never written him before! Thanks for reading!
