《In A Heartbeat - Larry Stylinson [complete]》Added scene 3 - Harry's change
Advertisement
A.N.: This probably isn't what everyone hope getting for Harry's change. There's no suspense, no saving Harry from dying. BUT I felt like this was the most realistic 'ending'. Idk I hope you like it anyway. For some reason writing this was really easy. Almost too easy.
Comment please :)
*
Harry’s changing happened on completely different conditions than Niall’s. It’s with his consent, for starters. Something that Niall couldn’t even give because of the unfortunate state that he had been in. Harry also didn’t have to stage his dead, as he would just take a gap year to learn to control his vampiric urges, something Niall was very jealous of.
Staging his death had been the most painful and hardest thing Niall’d ever had to do. As a freshly turned vampire, living next to humans would be extremely dangerous during the first year. The urges to just take blood were hard to control and requested at least a couple of month of intensive practice.
Staying at the boarding school, staying at home, or just changing schools wouldn’t solve that problem. The only thing they could do was to stage Niall's death. That way they he could learn everything on his own pace without endangering the humans around him. It also meant he wouldn’t see Harry for more than a year.
Perrie had been the one to find the potion to help them. They would push him out of a window on second floor so he’d break his neck, something that would kill a human but not a vampire. Afterwards they would give him the potion.
The potion would turn him paralyzed. He’d not be able to move for a week at least. He would just look like a corpse: white skin, no pulse, no movements. That way, his family could hold a funeral, but Niall wouldn’t be able to bite them. He’d be harmless. Unfortunately, the potion couldn’t turn out his consciousness which made it so traumatizing.

He had to hear every tear his family shed over his dead body, he lived through his own funeral without being able to console his mother or father. He experienced first-hand the grief they felt caused by losing their child. And afterwards he was he had to live through being buried before having to wait two days, two days of lying completely still with only thoughts as company, until Liam came to liberate him. It was absolutely devastating.
Afterwards Liam had volunteered to learn Niall the ropes. Harry, Louis, Zayn and Perrie only heard of him every once in a while, but a bit more than a year later, they'd come back at last. They'd visited Louis and Harry's dorm at uni. Harry was glad to see that Niall hadn't changed a thing, except for the colour of his eyes when the pulse of Harry's blood distracted him sometimes. After all, meaning that he wouldn't attack Harry didn't mean he still had tons to learn.
So, Harry had it easy in comparison to Niall. He had been get his A-levels, as well as his finish first year at uni. After his first year studying medicine, Louis often teased him that he’d become the second Carlisle, Harry would get turned and take a gap year afterwards to get used to his new species. Louis had come with him to uni, studying drama, the one thing that could spike his interest.
They had his changing all planned out, Harry hadn’t told his family anything yet. He figured he would just lose contact after his graduation, which would hurt his parents, but not as much as the alternative of staging his death like Niall had been forced to do. Harry had told his parents he’d stay at Louis’ for the second part of the summer, which, actually, was the truth.
Harry couldn’t believe he would ever find someone who meant even more to him than his own family did, but he had. Louis was his soul mate, blood mate to be precise. He was everything Harry needed and more and the lad could feel the pure love burning in his heart, even feeling it grow day by day. That was the reason why he’d agreed to a changing. He just couldn’t fathom living in world with no Louis Tomlinson, so he figured it was the same for him. He couldn’t bring to let Louis lose him, and well, maybe he was also a bit egoistic for wanting as much time with him as possible. And there was nothing longer than eternity, right?

So on a beautiful summer evening, the evening of July 31to be exact, Louis asked for the last time if Harry was okay with it. He could always back out if he wanted. They were lying in bed, having cuddled for most of the day, occasionally making out or going downstairs to get some food in their bodies.
“Yes, Louis. I’m sure. I couldn’t be any surer, if that’s a word. I’m ready to spend the rest of eternity together,” he breathed, before kissing him on the lips.
“You do know that we’ll probably not live forever. I mean, that’s impossible. Even the planet earth has an expiration date.” He smiled, cooing at his adorable boyfriend, lying next to him.
“I know,” Harry rolled his eyes, “you’ve told me numerous times already. I just look forward to the centuries we’ll be having together, then. That better?”
“Might be.” Louis kissed him on the forehead, “I just want to be realistic.”
“I get that, but we’ve discussed this all before. Just get on with it now.” Harry bared his throat, lying pliant on the mattress, like a wolf pup submitting to its alpha.
It had the hoped effect. Louis couldn’t help but let his eyes wander to the main vein, throbbing loudly, for his ears of course, in the middle of Harry’s bared throat. The instinct to just dive in and take him was present. Still, something held him back.
“Louis…” Harry begged him, “Just do it. We both know it’s what we both want.”
“I know…” Louis brought out, “I just don’t want to hurt you and the change is really painful.”
“Louis, I know. I’m prepared. And it’s only for a short while compared to the centuries of time we’ll be having afterwards.”
“You know I love you, right?” Louis mumbled defeated as he knew Harry was right. For some reason this changing, this bonding, binding even, felt more important than marriage would. Louis' venom would forever be hostage of his body. He would forever carry a part of Louis. He gave Louis his life by turning into a vampire. That was more than papers you got when you were married, papers that could be turned into divorce papers with the click of your fingers.
“I know, Lou. I love you too. So much.” He sat up straight to give Louis a kiss. He would never admit, but he was nervous as fuck. The kiss was not only to relax Louis, but also himself.
“always, right?” Louis asked with a small voice.
“We’ll always be together.” Harry answered.
And Louis changed, first his eyes lost their blue colour and then his fangs extended. If Harry didn’t know him that much, he would almost be scared of him. But this was Louis. His Louis. The Louis he loved who never did the dishes, but was always in for a marathon of the Power Rangers. His silly Louis whom he loved so damn much.
Louis dove in, penetrating the skin of Harry’s throat to release the venom. The last thing Harry heard before the overwhelming burst of flaming pain took over, was the sound of his own heartbeat as well as Louis' angelic I love you.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

The Prince of the Sand
“Today you have to be the strongest man of all, son. After we deliver you, you will survive, and we will die.” When the Xalya Dungeon is about to fall under the attack of an alliance of savages, the last lord of the steppe entrusts his firstborn with a painful mission: Dashvara has to pass himself off as a member of an enemy clan, as a Shalussi, to exact revenge in a shameful way. Forced to see his people killed or enslaved, this heartbroken but still proud and humorous steppe man will soon be dragged in a surprising adventure that will shake his will and beliefs. This story follows Dashvara as he struggles through foreign lands and discovers that the world is not only made of deserts and horses but also of “civilized” societies with strong bureaucracy and slave-based systems. Author's note: The fantasy setting has some ancient Roman influences. Also, expect a bit of slice-of-life and comedy along Dashvara's philosophical journey. Despite the “gore” tag, violence is not the focus of this story and descriptions are not particularly gruesome. Updates Mondays and Fridays. This is a Creative Commons By work. It is a reworked and continued translation of a trilogy I wrote in Spanish between 2016 and 2018.
