harry used to be a tree

[saysthemagpie]

ok that narry au was supposed to be about 300 words and is now 1.5k of just... gentle fic about how harry used to be a tree and now he isn't. i'll finish it up tomorrow but here's a little bit now so I can at least pretend that I make good on my promises:

Harry lives with Niall now. Well -- Niall supposes that's always been the case, technically. It's just that Harry used to be a graceful English oak flowering in his back garden, and now he's a person, a tall, beautiful sort of person with a look of perpetual surprise on his face, who sleeps in Niall's bed and eats the food Niall cooks for him and clings close to Niall's side when he takes him down to the shops.

it is indeed for you, anon! first i started writing you a silly r-rated giving tree one, which included this line: Niall’s really glad Harry isn’t a tree all the time anymore. It’s made their sex life significantly less weird, for starters, now that he doesn’t have to get his dick out in the garden all the time. but then I was listening to Niall's album on repeat and it was giving me all the feelings about niall listening patiently, gently, because he might not understand but harry can talk to him, and it became something very soft and weirdo narry being gentle with each other instead. ANYWAY i meant to post it last night but I think I want to write a little more of it tonight before I do.

i can't believe you're writing a story for me? Like, it's a little overwhelmingly nice? So I figured the least I can do is create an account so I can properly read it and comment and thank you one million times. So. Hi? (I have no idea how this platform works)

welcome!!!! I didn't post it tonight because I wanted my friend hannah to read it and weigh in but omg thank you for prompting it because it's become such a lovely thing to think about?? it's not very funny or smutty because the concept kinda ran away with me but it's like... a very gentle soft fic? I'm loving writing it.
