Larry AU where one of them, let’s say Harry, goes up to The Cinema, and has to watch the newest reincarnation miss all the tiny little opportunities to meet Louis.
Took a step to the right instead of the left, never smacked right into him in the hallway.
Picked to have Chinese instead of pizza where Louis works as the delivery guy.
Left the library just a tad too early, missed the Louis that was going to sit beside him.All The Harrys are like “OMG ALIVE HARRY WYD!!!!”
And then, Harry starts asking all the other Harrys how they met their Louis, and it turns out, they’re all tropes. There’s Historical AU Harry, and Roommate Harry, and Friends With Benefits Harry.
There’s Enemies to Lovers Harry in the front row, heckling.
Single Dad Harry shaking his head and telling everyone to calm down, Alive Harry has A LOT going on and no time for romance.
Pining for 20 years Harry sitting in the back, saying ‘It’s just a slow burn okay??? It gets good, I swear! Stop pressuring him!’
Soulmark Harry loudly complaining that ‘how is he ever supposed to KNOW if he doesn’t have a mark in this life, hmm? Just gonna let him “figure it out?” PSHHHH. Amateurs.’
So The Harry starts to watch intently, trying to figure out which AU Alive Harry is in, but Alive Harry just keeps missing Louis - missing him, missing him, missing him - and it’s driving Harry nuts. Until BAM!
They meet. The screen blacks out. Annoyed groans from All The Harrys because ‘That’s It????!!!! WTF WAS THAT????’
Credits go up, title flashes: “The 135843 Times Harry Missed Louis, and the One Time He Didn’t.”
Harry’s heard theories about what happens after death when he was alive–there’s the stereotypical heaven and hell, the reincarnate-into-something-else-in-the-universe, hell, even Underworld with the Greek God Hades–but never in his wildest dreams did he think that after death, he’d end up in a cinema.
