LNGSHOT Louis FanFiction
Y/N thought distance had healed the ache Louis left behind-but seeing him again brought it all rushing back. His voice, once familiar and comforting, now carried a weight of change. He seemed successful, confident, untouchable... yet somehow still the boy Y/N had loved.
When Louis returns home for a short break, old feelings collide with new realities. Days are filled with laughter, late-night conversations, and stolen moments that feel like coming home. But the fragile thread of trust shatters when Louis confesses a cruel truth: his earlier declarations of love were nothing more than a prank. Betrayed and heartbroken, Y/N must confront the boy they once knew, the man he has become, and the painful truth that love is not always enough.
As Y/N navigates the aftermath-grief, anger, and the slow work of rebuilding themselves-they discover that strength isn't just surviving heartbreak, but learning to choose oneself above all else. And yet, when Louis returns, seeking forgiveness, Y/N faces the ultimate question: Can love truly be rebuilt? Or must some bonds remain broken for the sake of survival?
An emotional FanFiction of love, loss, betrayal, and self-discovery, 'Maybe In Another Life' explores the fragile beauty of human connection-and the courage it takes to reclaim your own heart.
