Silly Dougie. Thinking half past eleven was early. For some reason that made me laugh because it reminds me of one of my fruzzins who has logic similar to that.


BUT WHAT'S THIS. We're then introduced to Izzy, who's from the boys' past and I'm just like, "ohhhh shieeett" because whenever characters in a story have a run in with someone they haven't seen in a while, you know something's gonna happen. SO THEN ~*FLASHBACK*~ THAT BRINGS US BACK TO THE GOOD OL' DAYS OF '05. Not gonna lie, though, how Harry and Izzy met was sweet, but in a friendship way. But poor Dougie third wheelin' and I feel it so hard, dude. I third wheel all the time. SO IN COMES TOM TO TRY TO RESCUE HIM SOMEHOW WITH A PENIS. LOOK AT THE DRAWN PENIS, DOUGIE. LOOK AT IT.
Oh no. Then...then the fight scene comes and it tears me apart because goddammit, Harry. You lil' shit. Dougie's tired of trying to hide it and he doesn't want to keep up with making it seem like a joke or some "bromance" when it's so much more than that. TIMING. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS BAD TIMING WHEN IT COMES TO PUDD, HARRY. ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW DO I NEED TO GET THE SHOVEL. But then I can breathe again because eventually they stop keeping it a secret and make it public that they love each other, which makes their relationship grow stronger. And the wedding. Ah, the so-called "wedding" they had. Watched that video and it was so adorable I like died a thousand times. Thanks.
Then we're back to the present and DOUGIE CAN KEEP THE DOG YAY! I like how they remained friends and Izzy didn't try to get in the way of their love. She seems so lovely and it's sweet how she and Dougie got along so much that he even invited her over for dinner. And she has a boyfriend now, which is nice because that little detail shows that she's happy with someone for herself, too.

The ending was so cute because seeing Izzy wasn't so bad because in a way she kinda helped get them together due to her interactions with Harry making Dougie have that talk with him. I might be looking into it too much, but I think that's interesting and it was nice how nothing bad happened with Izzy. And they name the dog Blix and I like that name. I like it a lot, it's perfect and they have their cute little nicknames and are sitting on the couch together and oh, I loved this so much.
This was amazing. Once again, you blessed us with wonderful fluff. I agree with Jacqui about the present/past thing. Your transitions were wonderfully done and worked smoothly in a way that we could easily understand. Anyway, I got so many feels from this and enjoyed it a lot. Still don't understand what you were worried about because this was absolutely perfect. Great job, my lovely clarity.


That first line was legitimately the best thing I have ever read. It's kind of true though, you don't hear about Dougie owning anything aside from lizards. He's the lizard boy. You've got the characterisation so on point right from the get-go though. Harry and Dougie have this super-cute joking friendship where they slag each other off constantly and this is so spot-on with that. And Dougie's getting up early being half eleven. I feel him on an emotional level.
“I’m not opposed to getting a dog but for fuck’s sake—a poodle? Absolutely not.” - SO FREAKING SPOT-ON. That line has Doug written all over it.
IZZY. IZZY. As much as I adore her, I don't want her getting in the way of my babies. I know she's married to Harry in real life and everything but whatever. Real life doesn't matter. You did their meeting perfect justice though. And Dougie as a third wheel, oh my.
The argument though. Everything was so heartfelt and Dougie would be the last person anyone would expect to blow up at anyone and it made me so sad because Harry is being a jerk and pulling Dougie along for an evil ride and that ain't what Pudd is all about. Get it together, Judd. I ain't happy with him.
AND THEN THE PUPPIES. THE PUPPIES. And the whole dancing queen / jungle king thing. Just no. I am melting into a puddle of fluffy Pudd feels and I am not okay with this in the slightest. But I am okay with it because this entire oneshot was all that I expected and so much more and I just love you so much for writing about it and giving me something to fangirl over.
And that video always made me laugh. Pudd is blatez real and they should just do like this fluff and stop pretending they aren't together.
