Still (and forever) thinking about Louis recording himself reading for Harry. Does he send him files chapter-by-chapter? What’s he read to him? All I want are reading details 🤣 Also, related, I would probably kill a man for an audio book read by either of them 🥺
oh yes let’s talk about hl + books in my fics !!!!! sharing books/story is my love language which is why it’s tts (and moy tbh) hl’s love language as well because i have no shame i guess.
well, my headcanon is that the first time he does it it’s a secret/surprise and he hides the file on h’s phone. so i’m thinking prob. a whole book. most likely poetry though because he knows harry loves the rhythm of poetry and finds it soothing and it’s his first big tour since he got sober so he’ll need all the soothing stuff he can get.....
as time goes on though, it changes and yeah he starts sending him stuff chapter by chapter, or in smaller chunks if it’s not something that has chapters (like a poetry collection, or short stories). i like to think that maybe louis starts having a routine where he wakes up, he goes on his run with Clifford and records a chapter for harry in the morning before officially starting his day. and he loves it because it’s a way for them to stay connected, cos once harry has listened to it, they can discuss the story together.
and as for what he sends him... well it depends! i think they pick stuff together; stuff they’re both interested in. a lot of poetry of course and biographies, esp. musicians, because louis loves to know more about harry’s world and harry just love music and learning about it. novels, obvs. cheesy historical romance when louis knows harry needs a pick me up, because they make him smile & laugh, and they both enjoy it. and there's always a big supply in the lighthouse anyways since people drop them off/swap them all the time. the ones set in scoltand are h’s favourite because it makes him feel closer to home when he’s away. and louis’ fake scottish accent is terrible and it brightens his days to listen to it. rarely contemporary romance though, it just doesn’t have the same Drama to it and that’s what they both enjoy. mysteries only if harry has been doing well and can handle the stress of Not Knowing what’s going to happen, but they’re more a ~louis thing than a hl thing so it doesn’t happen very often. lots of sad books. harry does love sad books. even though they upset him. he likes the catharsis though, even when he’s in a bad mood. sometimes erotica when louis is in A Mood. he never warns when a chapter gets naughty though, loves the idea of teasing harry/taking him by surprise like that. if it’s Het (like in some of the romance novels), louis puts on the most ridiculous voices because he knows it’ll make harry laugh. if it’s actually hot, well........
and letters. louis sends him little files of himself reading famous correspondences all the time on top of the regular books. just very romantic letters. esp. gay ones. harry sends him romantic postcards and louis reads him famous love letters. it’s their Thing.
sometimes they do the thing on facetime or on the phone.... they like having that connection where louis is Acually Reading for harry. but most of the time, harry prefers to have the recordings. he can listen to them before going to sleep, or before a show if he’s nervous, or during long flights/long bus rides, or when he goes out for a walk after a show, calming himself down under the cover of darkness, his bodyguard walking a few paces behind him.... or when he’s having a wank tbh.
i like to think that sometimes if there’s a book harry really wants louis to read to him, he’ll have it shipped to the lighthouse instead of asking and louis teases him for being such a needy dork but he complies ofc.
whatever you do, don’t think about elderly hl in this verse, still living in their lighthouse though it’s not a b&b anymore because they don’t want the hassle, still reading together.... louis’ eyes aren’t what they use to be, his voice cracks a lot more, but he’ll put on his glasses and strain and he’ll read to harry every night before bed because it’s what they Do and that’s his baby.

Hogsmeade Weekend + Drarry
• The two of them were already pretty close friends, so it wouldn't be too awkward.
• Harry just didn't know how to tell Draco it'd be just the two of them; no Ron or Hermione.
• 'Harry, trust me, he wouldn't mind.'
• 'But what if he does, 'Mione?!'
• 'Tell him Hermione and I are going on a date.'
• 'Ronald!'
• Harry does manage to ask him (a day before the Hogsmeade weekend)
• Draco says yes, obviously, and they go together.
• It was easy for them to talk, and drink Butterbeer, and steal each others candy, and drink a little Firewhisky, and act like a couple.
• They got back late, laughing and slightly tipsy, but they quieted down once they entered the castle.
• Draco didn't remember when they'd exchanged scarves, but the Slytherin scarf made Harry's eyes appear brighter. He'd never admit Harry looked good in it, though.
• 'Thanks for today.' Draco whispered, smiling freely as he started walking away backwards. 'I ought to get back before Filch catches us.'
• Why is his smile so cute-'No problem, Draco. Best date I've ever been on.'
• Draco stopped and looked at Harry in confusion.
• 'Wait- that was a date?'
• Harry had not meant to say that out loud- but too late now.
• 'I mean... it could be. If you want it to be. Totally fine if you don't! It's not like I like you- no, wait, I don't not like you-'
• Harry stopped himself before he could continue rambling, and Draco laughed.
• 'Hogsmeade as a first date? Really, Potter? No, that wasn't a date. I'll take you somewhere better. Tomorrow.' Harry could have sworn that his heart stopped for a second.
• 'So you don't mind going on a date with me?'
• 'Honestly, Potter.' Draco laughed again. Harry found that he liked this carefree Draco as well. 'The only one who hasn't noticed my crush on you, is you.'
• Draco winked and walked to his common room, while Harry stood like a statue for the next minute.
• When he got back to the common room, he was surprised to see Hermione and Ron awake.
• 'So, how was the date, mate?' Ron asked him the second he entered.
• 'Ron! He means, how was hanging out with Draco?'
• 'I've got a date tomorrow.'
• 'Bloody hell! Harry got a date faster than me!' 'It's not my fault you took years to ask, Ronald.' 'Harry took years to confess to Draco!' 'Hey!'
• The date the next day turned out to be the first of many.
