Summary:
Niall has an easygoing smile on his face, bright and unbothered, as if he isnât facilitating a lunch between Harry and the one person he might truly hate.
âNiall. Louis,â Harry greets them both, somewhat strained.
Louis doesnât even look up at him.
Harry sighs, taking a seat next to Niall and grabbing for the sandwich on the table.

âšL'eau Ă la bouche by @teamlouis2021
Doris nodded and snuggled more against his chest. He certainly didn't want his little sister to be as anxious about the swimming lesson as he was when he was a child. He was ready to fight the fucking instructor if he thought otherwise, but thenâŠ
"Oh, hereâs Harry," Molly exclaimed.
Louis turned his head to the left and all his prejudices about swimming instructors flew away. The man that was walking towards them was not in his mid-fifties, his toes were not hairy and his ass didn't look grainy at all. Nope. The man was gorgeous. He was tall and lean, with long, long legs and short yellow shorts. Louis could decipher a tattoo on his thigh and his large white t-shirt revealed more black ink on his arms and his collarbones. His short brown hair was curling at the base of his neck and he had big green eyes that only showed kindness. Louis was watching with his mouth hanging half-open and it's only when Doris shook his arm that he realized it.

When Louis is asked to take his little siblings to their swimming lessons, he doesn't expect to fall under the spell of their gorgeous instructor. Yet fate has other plans for him.
âšbaby I'll never leave (if you keep holding me this way) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed
His fingers curl around the first thing he can find that would be suitable as a weapon, an umbrella that has a rather impressive looking metal pin at the end. He holds it in front of him the way he imagines people hold a sword, tiptoeing through his living room until he can find whoeverâs in his kitchen. He briefly considers calling 999, figures that if someoneâs trying to burgle him, he should probably not be a hero and actually rely on professionals to arrest them, but heâs never been the type to sit back and wait, and -- is that singing?
It is singing. Whoever is trying to rob him is in his kitchen, singing an eighties pop song under their breath.

âšA Hungry Heart by @jacaranda-bloom
Harry Styles, florist and Great British Bake Off contestant, loves many things. He loves his flower shop, he loves baking, and thereâs also that little crush he has on pop star Louis Tomlinson.
But when Louis arrives on set as the surprise guest judge, Harryâs worlds collide. Throw in a cup of cuteness, a teaspoon of teasing, and a pinch of pining, and thereâs all the ingredients for an epic love story, or absolute chaos.
Or the one where the Bake Off tent has never been so hot, and itâs got nothing to do with whatâs in the ovens.
âšA Conspiracy of Fanfiction by @almondtreeflower
Nothing special was meant to happen that night, nothing special was happening at the moment. There was no flashing revelation, no particular reason for which Louis ought to take the ring out of his pocket right now. Maybe that was the reason why he wanted to do it, to make his proposal not because he was prompted to by one of the mysterious forces that so often drove their universe upside down but because, not for the first time, he felt perfectly happy. Perfectly at ease. Perfectly content gazing in the eyes of the love of his life, tenderly tucking behind his ear a loose curl which had dropped out of his headband. Perfectly aware that he wanted to spend the rest of his life in his company.
And really, Harry didnât think he would actually get this far. Heâd only been asking to 1) distract himself from thinking about the fact that he wonât have Louis here forever and 2) get the rejection over and done with before he has the chance to get too attached. But heâs come too far now to take it back
He supposes itâs now or never.

Or, it's 1970, Harry needs a ride to the first ever pride parade in New York City, and Louis happens to be in the right place at the right time.
âšPlaydate by @larryyouknow
When Harryâs sister asked him to pick up her son at a kids' birthday party he sure didnât expect to be stunned by the blue-eyed brother of the birthday twins. Using his nephew to see Louis again, he falls hard and fast. But how does one turn a playdate into a real date?
Niall gets more than he bargained for when supporting a friend at a posh Speed Dating event. How could he say no to his one true love: free food? He may have been wooed into coming for the decadent feast, but Niall finds himself swept off his feet by four charming lads that have increasingly intricate romance histories⊠and possibly futures, if he can get it all sorted before dessert arrives.

Louis smiled to himself, knowing what Cameron was hinting at. âDid you want to stay with me in my warm bed?â
Cameron nodded as he slipped his thumb back into mouth, fighting to keep his eyes open now. âPlease, Lou.â
âSure. get some sleep, okay?â Louis hugged him tighter and closed his own eyes, his arms heavy with the weight of the little boy they were wrapped around. Just as Louis was dozing off, his eyes too heavy to keep open anymore, he heard whispered words that shattered his heart into a million more pieces.
âPlease donât go to heaven too, Lou.â

Harry waltzes into Louisâ life when everything seems to be crumbling around him. A dad overnight, grief stricken and learning to be a parent as he goes, Harry helps to bring light, laughter and, of course, baked goods back into their lives.
âšThe First Year by @parmahamlarrie
When Louis Tomlinson was assigned a first year student to be his roommate for his final year at the University of Manchester, his expectations were low. All he needed was a cheap place to sleep and keep his stuff amidst his nights out, willing his brain to forget his past. He never expected Harry Styles to become his eclectic, sweet, and cuddly best friend. That was never the plan.

âšFor a day by @greenblueish
âWhile I appreciate that compliment - youâre right -, itâs not a prank. I swear. I tried calling Harry and Liam, but they arenât picking up. And like, I donât know what to do? I just woke up in Liamâs freaking body, and like, heâs a nice lad and everything, but I donât want to be him?!â
Once again, tense silence fills the line for a second and Louis almost expects Zayn to hang up on him, but his friend speaks up again, voice urgent this time.
âYouâre serious?â
âOne hundred percent. I swear.â
or, the one where Harry wakes up in Louis' body, Louis in Liam's, Liam in Niall's, Niall in Harry's and no one picked Zayn.
âšDon't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by @marchessa-writes
Prompt: Two friends go camping, but the tent is colder than expected once the sun goes down. How will they stay warm??? (BONUS: There is only one sleeping bag)
Or the one where Harry learns what happens when you go camping alone with your crush, he forgets his own sleeping bag at home, and the temperature drops several degrees at night. And if thatâs not enough, you are deadly afraid of thunder, so of course, a storm catches you off guard in the middle of the night.
âšBeing of the Jealous Kind by @louisandtheaquarian
A-list actor Louis Tomlinson and his partner fashion photographer Harry Styles weather the storm that is Louisâ fake relationship with his costar in the lead up to this yearâs Academy Awards.
Featuring a fluffy teenage meet-cute, an angsty wine drunk Harry melting down over pap pics, Louis habitually overusing the word âbaby,â and cameos by a vintage Umbro sweatshirt, the peace ring, and one hell of a Larry hug.
Or the justice for To Be So Lonely fic. Based on the lyrics to TBSL and a prompt where âLouis has to fake date some celebrity, while his boyfriend Harry sits at home.â

âCome with me,â Liam says, manoeuvering Louis away from his new friends. He looks so serious Louis canât help but laugh a little.
âEverything alright, mate?â he asks. Liam turns back to him, perplexed.
âHmm? Yeah, fine,â Liam says, and he looks a little less serious about it, so Louis is satisfied. âThereâs just someone I want you toâŠâ Then Liam calls out over the music, âOi, Zayn!â
Louisâ heart lodges in his throat. There, he sees as Liam brings him closer, is Zayn bloody Malik.
Or: Louis fell in love with Zayn when they were teens. He doesn't expect to meet him on the bus a decade later and fall in love all over again.

âšDancing Barefoot by @quelsentiment
Zayn snorts. âNow we have a situation, apparentlyâLiamâs got a thing for you and youâve got a thing for me.â
âMathematically speaking, that would mean youâve a thing for Liam,â Louis points out, his head finally peeking out from under the pillow.
âI donât think math has anything to do with it, like...â
âFor dramatic purposes, then,â Louis insists, poking at Zaynâs foot. âSome kind of Shakespearean love triangle thing.â
âIâm not into Liam, though,â Zayn saysâit doesnât matter that he may or may not be lying.
Or: Liam, Zayn and Louis are the only parents who agreed to come and supervise a school trip to the seaside. They get way more out of the deal than expected.

âšOf nightmares and dreams by @beautifulwonderlandworld
Prompt: fake relationship, enemies to lovers where they're both ex"1d solo artists
Liam was in a complicated moment, the press was talking about him and not in a good way because he didn't think of what he was doing. He needed to shut them up. To do it he needs the help of his friends and Zayn, something he didn't like. He hates him, more than anything. But there was no other option, so he accepted his help. But feelings made it all more difficult than it was supposed to be. Liam needs to fake date him if he wants to come out.
âšyou're like a sunshine by @lightwoodsmagic
When Zayn can't quite get one of the action poses right for his portfolio, his roommate Louis enlists the help of their neighbour Liam, a personal trainer that has the perfect amount of muscle for the superhero Zayn's trying to draw.
It shouldn't be complicated, but Zayn's feelings for the man can only stay hidden for so long.
âšI Heard You Asked About Me by @beelou
He comes to a stop in the middle of a residential street, the jingle calling the children over. Surprisingly, there's not just little kids that come running, there's teenagers and some adults as well, probably for nostalgia. Liam gets it. If he wasnât the one driving the truck, heâd probably be standing in line and waiting to buy some for himself.
After the rush of orders gets filled, he continues on to the next neighborhood. This one has more young adults, most likely college students. Girls with pink hair, guys with long hair. Then, Liam sees him.

âOne hundred percent. I swear.â
or, the one where Harry wakes up in Louis' body, Louis in Liam's, Liam in Niall's, Niall in Harry's and no one picked Zayn.
âšDon't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by @marchessa-writes
Prompt: Two friends go camping, but the tent is colder than expected once the sun goes down. How will they stay warm??? (BONUS: There is only one sleeping bag)
Or the one where Harry learns what happens when you go camping alone with your crush, he forgets his own sleeping bag at home, and the temperature drops several degrees at night. And if thatâs not enough, you are deadly afraid of thunder, so of course, a storm catches you off guard in the middle of the night.
âšBeing of the Jealous Kind by @louisandtheaquarian
A-list actor Louis Tomlinson and his partner fashion photographer Harry Styles weather the storm that is Louisâ fake relationship with his costar in the lead up to this yearâs Academy Awards.
Featuring a fluffy teenage meet-cute, an angsty wine drunk Harry melting down over pap pics, Louis habitually overusing the word âbaby,â and cameos by a vintage Umbro sweatshirt, the peace ring, and one hell of a Larry hug.
Or the justice for To Be So Lonely fic. Based on the lyrics to TBSL and a prompt where âLouis has to fake date some celebrity, while his boyfriend Harry sits at home.â

âCome with me,â Liam says, manoeuvering Louis away from his new friends. He looks so serious Louis canât help but laugh a little.
âEverything alright, mate?â he asks. Liam turns back to him, perplexed.
âHmm? Yeah, fine,â Liam says, and he looks a little less serious about it, so Louis is satisfied. âThereâs just someone I want you toâŠâ Then Liam calls out over the music, âOi, Zayn!â
Louisâ heart lodges in his throat. There, he sees as Liam brings him closer, is Zayn bloody Malik.
Or: Louis fell in love with Zayn when they were teens. He doesn't expect to meet him on the bus a decade later and fall in love all over again.

âšDancing Barefoot by @quelsentiment
Zayn snorts. âNow we have a situation, apparentlyâLiamâs got a thing for you and youâve got a thing for me.â
âMathematically speaking, that would mean youâve a thing for Liam,â Louis points out, his head finally peeking out from under the pillow.
âI donât think math has anything to do with it, like...â
âFor dramatic purposes, then,â Louis insists, poking at Zaynâs foot. âSome kind of Shakespearean love triangle thing.â
âIâm not into Liam, though,â Zayn saysâit doesnât matter that he may or may not be lying.
Or: Liam, Zayn and Louis are the only parents who agreed to come and supervise a school trip to the seaside. They get way more out of the deal than expected.

âšOf nightmares and dreams by @beautifulwonderlandworld
Prompt: fake relationship, enemies to lovers where they're both ex"1d solo artists
Liam was in a complicated moment, the press was talking about him and not in a good way because he didn't think of what he was doing. He needed to shut them up. To do it he needs the help of his friends and Zayn, something he didn't like. He hates him, more than anything. But there was no other option, so he accepted his help. But feelings made it all more difficult than it was supposed to be. Liam needs to fake date him if he wants to come out.
âšyou're like a sunshine by @lightwoodsmagic
When Zayn can't quite get one of the action poses right for his portfolio, his roommate Louis enlists the help of their neighbour Liam, a personal trainer that has the perfect amount of muscle for the superhero Zayn's trying to draw.
It shouldn't be complicated, but Zayn's feelings for the man can only stay hidden for so long.
âšI Heard You Asked About Me by @beelou
He comes to a stop in the middle of a residential street, the jingle calling the children over. Surprisingly, there's not just little kids that come running, there's teenagers and some adults as well, probably for nostalgia. Liam gets it. If he wasnât the one driving the truck, heâd probably be standing in line and waiting to buy some for himself.
After the rush of orders gets filled, he continues on to the next neighborhood. This one has more young adults, most likely college students. Girls with pink hair, guys with long hair. Then, Liam sees him.

âšif music be the food of love, play on by @evilovesyou
When the conductor leaves Lewis and Niall to clean up after rehearsals, she suspects that they might get up to some funny business... She doesn't know just how much funny business might occur when the two of them are left to their own... devices.

Who does Liam see you ask? Well there's two options! Chapter one is Louis and chapter two is Zayn! It's a choose your own adventure style. So take your pick!

The lovely @cyantific tagged me in one of these ages ago and apparently I couldn't get it together until I finished my WIP, but since my @1dclicheficfest fic is coming out this week here is a sneak peek...
âErm, mate, I think youâre in my chair.â
Harry knew that voice, oxymoronically as sharp and clear as bells ringing and as rough and scratchy as burlap. That voice belonged toâoh fuckâŠ
It was impossible to tell what order things happened next. It was all just a giant blur ofâ
Harry trying to spring out of the directorâs chair.
His camera strap getting caught on the arm and knocking the chair over even as it collapsed closed on him.
Yelping loudly in surprise and pain, then realizing: âOh shit, what if theyâre filming?â
And finally⊠landing on the ground with the chair half on top of him.
âOops,â Harry droned, for lack of literally any way to save face, as he untangled himself from his camera strap.
He heard a soft chuckle as the chair was lifted and righted back beside him, and then an arm reached down to him.
It's late and I have a cold, so Imma just do the thing where I say I'm tagging anyone else who wants to do one, especially @1d-library pals. âșïž
Here's a snippet of my fic written for @1dclicheficfest which will be revealed tomorrow.
Harry was about to set his sleeping bag down in the tent and arrange his bag when he heard Louisâ muttered swearings, so he poked his head out.
â Whatâs wrong?â He cocked his head to the side.
â Uhm... nothing?â Louis said or rather asked, looking nervous.
â You look bothered. Are you ok?â
â Yeah, I just forgot something at home,â Louis annoyedly wiped his face with his hands.
â What did you forget? Never mind, you can borrow mine anyway.â
â I donât think that would be a polite thing on my part because I left my sleeping bag at home.â Harry didnât know what to say to that. â But Iâm sure it wonât be that cold. I think I will be able to sleep with a plus jumper or something.â
â You will catch a cold. The temperature has dropped at least 10 degrees since we arrived.â
â I will survive,â he shrugged.

âWhile I appreciate that compliment - youâre right -, itâs not a prank. I swear. I tried calling Harry and Liam, but they arenât picking up. And like, I donât know what to do? I just woke up in Liamâs freaking body, and like, heâs a nice lad and everything, but I donât want to be him?!â

When Louis Tomlinson was assigned a first year student to be his roommate for his final year at the University of Manchester, his expectations were low. All he needed was a cheap place to sleep and keep his stuff amidst his nights out, willing his brain to forget his past. He never expected Harry Styles to become his eclectic, sweet, and cuddly best friend. That was never the plan.
