Summary
"Um. Daddy?" Harry mumbles again, and Louis turns toward him but keeps talking on the phone. Harry flicks his gaze down at his own crotch, hoping Louis will understand.
Louis' brow furrows in disappointment and he puts a hand over the mouthpiece of his phone.
"You're meant to hold it, aren't you?"
Harry's cheeks redden in shame. "Yes. But --"
"Then hold it."
Or: a desperation drabble featuring a very desperate Harry, a very dominant Louis, and Harry sitting in his Daddy's lap.

Summary
Louis takes a third-grade teaching job in Clover Hill as a favor, mostly because he has nowhere else to go. He lost his job as a sous-chef, and everything else in Chicago fell apart. This Hallmark-channel town feels more like punishment than a fresh start. Louis prepares for the worst ten months of his life.
Until Harry, the art teacher who ribbon laces his sneakers and paints rainbow fences, makes it really easy to get distracted.

Summary
“Thank you,” Geoff says, taking a sip of his tea. “What did you tell him?”
Louis has a sip as well, lets the tea burn down his throat too quickly, too hot, and he feels it all the way down to his stomach. “The truth. Essentially,” he replies after a moment, licking his lips, relishing the slightly bitter taste of the brew that’s never quite strong enough for Louis’ liking. At least it’s not decaf. “That my dog scented it. That I didn’t touch the body. That I came here first thing.”
Geoff nods pensively. “Did he believe you?”
“Probably not. There’s only so many people who can drown on dry land before it gets fishy.”
or: Harry is a journalist, Louis has lots of secrets and the moors aren't exactly the ideal place to rekindle a lost romance.
