Brighter Than The Sun [l.s]
One Direction was born 10 years later. (Basically a 1D fic set in 2021) "I'm trying," Harry said. "To be what they want. To say the things they need. But when I'm on camera, and they ask me about love, or feelings, or anything soft-I only know how to talk about you." Louis's breath hitched. "But if I look at you," Harry continued, "if I say that on camera-if I mean it-they'll take it all away." "I know," Louis said again, quieter this time. His shoulders slumped as he kept talking. "And I can't be the reason you lose this. You were made for this." "So were you." Louis scoffed. "I was made to fix messes. You were made to be seen." "I want you to see me." OR All the boys were born 10 years later, 1D is formed in 2020 instead. A 1D retelling.

hey angel / h.s
Ellie Lester, once the heart of the world's most famous co-ed band, One Direction, has spent the years following the hiatus trying to figure out who she is without the spotlight - and without him. Still close with her former bandmates Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, Ellie stayed mostly out of the public eye, quietly opening for Ed Sheeran's tour and navigating personal heartbreaks no tabloid could fully capture. But in 2021, during the stillness of the pandemic, she finally found the courage to return to what made her feel most alive: the music. Writing. Creating. Reclaiming her voice. While recording her debut solo album in a tucked-away London studio, fate intervened - or maybe Harry did. He wasn't just her former bandmate, not just the boy with the dimples and green eyes who'd always stood beside her on stage. He was once her best friend. And after years of silence, he found her again. What follows is a slow-burning reunion - of hearts, of friendships, of purpose. With Taylor Swift cheering her on, and Harry talking her into a European tour, Ellie is swept into a whirlwind of performances, cities, and also creating a second album. Her voice grows stronger. Her stage becomes her home again. And somewhere between songs, soundchecks, and starry train rides across Europe, Ellie discovers something she never expected to find again: home. In her music. In herself. And maybe - just maybe - in Harry Styles. some extras: - The first few chapters were pretty short, but they get longer at better with the time -includes instagram posts/ stories - The boys and Ellie are still good friend and there is no war between any of them - the outfits do not match the time where it takes place, because I just couldn't let them wear skinny jeans -this is my first story and I am pretty excited about it so please be kind 💋Complete
