“When you took power, you promised the people equality, freedom from any form of discrimination, and the peace we were severely lacking. Today, once again, you’re proving yourself to be a fake, a clown who rose to power just to think about himself.” Louis turns to look at the General once again and finds himself staring at the way his face seems scrunched up in pure and unadulterated rage. “But we — the people, have had enough of you and your barbarity.” Taking a step forward, the person raises his carbine and points it at the balcony. The crowd gasps and Louis takes his gun out of its holder and points it right back at them. “We’ve had enough. We’re not gonna ask you to stop anymore. We’re gonna make you.”

Twenty-five years ago, a group of alpha soldiers led a revolution to dispose of the beta oppressive monarchy. Louis Tomlinson, The General’s alpha nephew, is set to follow in his footsteps and eventually lead the Country. When the arrest of a beta brings a silent resistance group to show themselves and threaten The General, Louis finds himself questioning the government’s true nature and the equality of the law, in a quest that will change him for good.
“It was the same when I first met Liam. He was the same as Louis; they’re these guys that are up on this level, but they love guitar music and music in general. They’re open to championing young bands, those bands that are smaller than them, and lifting them up. They’re passionate about the music and that’s what it’s all about; everyone lifting everyone up.“

In a society where young adults go through the so-called Colour Test which determines their affiliation to a Colour - Blue, Yellow, Red or Green - and thus where they’ll live, work and socialise for the rest of their lives, Harry is finally about to take the Test. Born and raised in Yellow, he met his boyfriend when he was still a teenager - against the government’s recommendation. Louis, however, changed from Yellow to Blue two years ago. The problem: Harry needs to receive a Blue Test result as well, because a relationship between two people who live in different Colours is forbidden.
Friday nights are reserved for one thing and one thing only: good old fashioned American football. Harry’s never been a big fan of football, only goes to the games because he’s required to, however he does enjoy getting to interact with his fellow band kids in the band section of the stands.
The fact he gets to ogle Louis in his bibbers and jacket is just a plus.
the marching band au only one person (and that was me) asked for.
Hmmmm. I actually don’t know who tracks what. In my bio I have a link for the Fic Promo Squad which is a list of people who’ve offered to help promote fics. At the bottom of it are some accounts who track certain tags, so that might be helpful. I have to update the list though. It’s been a while and I don’t know how many of those people are active still. But the tracking tags are worth checking out.
