Summary
Louis has been his best friend since they were in diapers, having grown up on the same block, and Niall reckons that there will always be a piece of him that loves the older boy. And then there's Harry. Harry, who is the youngest of their group and the newest addition to it. He’s newly sixteen, and more than a bit gifted, and they met when Harry was put in their class in year six. Harry belongs to Louis, and Louis, to Harry, and they’re sort of sickening to be around, at times, but the blond knows that he wouldn’t have them any other way. Harry and Louis are one another’s, but they’re also his.
A Niam fic, based on Teenage Dirtbag, but with a strong emphasis on Nourry friendship. I don't know if this has already been done or not, but if it has, here's hoping I've got a different enough premise!

Summary
They had both been golden, Louis knows. They’d been stalked in awe; the prettiest post-punks London had to offer. Coils of smoke that nobody could catch. Nobody’s property to cage and label. Whenever Louis spirals down, he wonders what Bowie had desired from Zayn that he couldn’t give, too; he would of given anything. His signature for his soul and fifteen minutes of fame. His signature for his soul and his rightful place tucked close to Zayn’s side. He feels like half a boy without him and no matter what makeup has framed them, his blue eyes have been dulled since their last kiss good bye.

Summary
Dallon Weekes is lost, and doesn’t know it. He’s a college drop-out getting by on warehouse wages and overly optimistic dreams. He wants to break out of the dreary little town he lives in, find success the way everyone else in the Reagan era has, but in the back of his mind he knows: that lovely bass guitar he’s been saving up for won’t be enough, especially when he’s pushing thirty. After a drunken encounter with Brendon, his naive, cheery new boss, Dallon starts to look at things a little differently. Brendon is not what he seems to be on the surface, and Dallon is the only one who can see that. This will be the long winter that changes Dallon’s life. For better, or worse.
