Summary: In which Harry is the dying front man of a dying rock band, Zayn has finally given up holding his hair back in dingy bathrooms, Niall and Liam are holding up the fort, and Louis comes along with eyes the color of the sky to remind Harry that there is still more life to live. [original summary]

Review: Harry is a wreck in this story and it hurts to read, I’m serious. This story made me cry and it made me pound the bed in pure anger, and I can say it’s one of the best stories I ever read in this fandom. It is a highly dramatic story, full of anger, fights and characters breaking down.

The band configuration doesn’t have Louis on it and there is a big introduction of it where he doesn’t appear. 5 Seconds to Summer(Opening Act to One Direction on real life) and George Shelley make appearences, though quite later in the fic, and 5SOS plays a quite villainous role, which is refreshing, since they are usually seen as uber cute and nothing else. Sophia is a really important character, and Perrie, Eleanor and Nick are all there.

Harry and Louis relationship are both the central plot and the side plot, entwined with Harry addictions and his troubled relationship with both his suicidal thoughts and his band that is completely overwhelmed with his destructive behaviour. The emotional depth of this story is quite powerful and agonizing.

I really like stories that drawn out, this story pushes a bit the limit, but if you are not impatience as me, you will probably be more focused on the fact that this story deals seriously with addiction and how it repeatedly shows the relapses and the importance of healing by oneself and not for the “love of your life”.

Great story for the days of rain, but maybe with a cup of water and some chocolate? It’s really rough to read.
