hbd, seasons 🎂

today, she drives — and talks to her dad 🚗🌈❤️‍🩹
screenshot 1/2 from the fic “seasons” by dead_tobeginwith. the text reads: Today, he drives— —and chats to his mum. He tells Her about everything and nothing, about the autumn sun and the change in the leaves and the neighborhood cat that looks a bit like Timothée Chalamet. He shares new recipes and old secrets and tweets that made him laugh, and explains the plot of that book he read and sort of hated, because he knows She'd hate it too. He tells Her about his new job at the record shop on Bethnal Green, the one that was once an ice cream parlor that traded good marks for free scoops. '''S just a few hours a week, like," he says. "'M going back to uni in the fall." He hesitates, then: "Film studies." It's a whisper, wary, even in Her absence, of the subtle pulls of disappointment etched across Her face. In a way, he misses that, too, if only because it would mean She was still here to love him so fiercely that She sometimes got it wrong. Well, I've been afraid of changin' (It's ironic, honestly. After all, it was Her love of cinema that taught him to make stories from the little moments that make up a life) 'Cause I've built my life around you screenshot 2/2 from the fic “seasons” by dead_tobeginwith. the text reads: He tells Her about Zayn's farmhouse and Liam's gallery and Niall's trek through the Dolomites-about the boys She'd never know as men, because your twenties are really just the dollhouse version of adulthood. But time makes you bolder Even children get older He tells Her about Lottie; her job, her boyfriend, her new apartment in Park Slope-how proud he is and how proud She'd be, to know Her little girl found her feet and trod a path toward something great. And I'm getting older too He tells Her about Harry. He tells Her about Harry then, and Harry now, and the infinite Harrys of the future-the hopes and dreams and absolutes, imagining himself in every single moment. Oh, I'm getting older too He tells Her he's ok. He tells Her he's happy. He tells Her he's loved, and that he loves Her too. Because as long as he lives, in a way, so will She.

harry styles sitting on a park bench wearing an all black outfit with long sleeves and long pants. he is wearing a purple ball cap and his legs are crossed, and he’s looking at his phone. his phone case is yellow, and he’s sitting next to his large canvas bag, which is also bright yellow digital illustration of waluigi from super mario. he’s standing in a dramatic pose with his feet out and his knees turned in, with one arm behind his head and the other holding a red rose to his face. his head is turned in a side profile, and his mouth is open with his tongue out in a sassy gesture. he’s staring directly into your soul

close up photograph of green lichen against a dark background. screenshot from archive of our own that reads: “Mirth at the Edge of the Wood by dead_tobeginwith Summary: There was a time when the only threat from the forest was stupidity. When the forest gave more than it took. But that was before. Harry still refuses to talk about it. Refuses to talk about what happened in the woods, what happened to Gemma. All these years, and he's never explained where she came from, the baby he'd carried out of the tree line with no explanation other than, "she was a gift from the forest." That was ten years ago. Now, no one goes into the woods alone. Wise folk avoid it all together. Because the forest is eerily quiet, and children are disappearing.”

RIGHT?! like, this was my ACTUAL dad in 1993:
man in his mid 30s wearing jeans, a long sleeve blue henley, Birkenstocks, and aviators. he’s got a little mullet and a large mustache, and head leaning against a glass half wall at the bronx zoo, holding a little kid in a yellow shirt and red shoes who is in the middle of housing an ice cream cone

Cover art for the fic “seasons.” An early-spring toned close up of cherry blossoms and leaf buds with yellow script overlay that reads “seasons” in large letters at the center top and “a keep driving timestamp by dead_tobeginwith” in smaller letters in the lower left. In the middle is an overlayed screenshot of text from the authors note, which reads, “May our grief breathe life into all the someones we’ve ever missed”
