“I know we never talked about it because I wasn’t ready after all that shit, but it’s been kind of hard to miss how ready you are, and I guess your constant baby fever rubbed off on me.”

The grin takes over Harry’s face before he can fully process the words. “You’re ready?”

Louis hums. “Have been for a while, if I’m being honest.”

🌾The Clock Strikes Christmas by @jacaranda-bloom (10k) | Explicit

The clock ticks over to midnight and Niall strikes the match, lighting the candle and looking expectantly at Louis. “Time to make all your dreams come true. What’s your birthday wish Tommo?”

Louis stares into the flame and wonders. Closing his eyes, he thinks of cold winter nights curled up by the fire, driving along country roads holding hands across the console, laughter and warmth and a sense of belonging. An image creeps into his mind, blurry and shimmering. Curls, green eyes, milky white skin. Louis sucks in a deep breath, opens his eyes and blows.

The lights in the pub go out and the music stops, time seems to be teetering on the edge of something, like the crest of a roller coaster before the fall.

Then the pub surges back to life. “Sorry about that folks! Damn storm must be coming.” The bartender shouts out.

Niall is staring at him, mouth agape, before regaining his composure. “Must’ve been a helluva wish Tommo.”

Louis is a little stunned himself, but blinks out of it and laughs. “Yeah, must’ve been.”

OR the one where Louis needs someone to love, Harry needs a miracle, and sometimes, wishes really do come true.

Part 1 of The Clock Strikes

🌾The Clock Strikes New Year by @jacaranda-bloom (9k) | Explicit

Louis senses people moving around behind him and cranes his neck left to right. The store is quiet, just staff and Louis and Harry, but all of the other salespeople appear to have gravitated to where they are to watch the little runway show Harry is putting on. He can’t blame them really, Harry is a sight to behold, but it makes him chuckle anyway.

“Okay, Lou, you ready for me?” Harry calls from the change room.

“As I’ll ever be, baby. Get out here!”

Harry comes into view and Louis’ breath catches in his throat.

OR Harry was homeless, but now he has Louis. Louis was lonely, but now he has Harry. And there’s more than one way to see fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

Part 2 of The Clock Strikes

🌾Plant New Seeds in the Melody by @vintageumbroshirt / 28sunflowers (58k) | Explicit

After losing his husband in a tragic car accident, the last thing Louis needs is to keep running into popstar Harry Styles, who David was quite fond of.

Obviously, that’s exactly what keeps happening.

But as their unlikely friendship blossoms, Louis realizes that, maybe, having Harry in his life was the only good thing that came out of his adverse circumstances. Harry could be just the right person to help Louis find trust and intimacy in someone new.

🌾Through Eerie Chaos by @mediawhorefics (102k) | General Audiences

For as long as anyone can remember, Old Hillsbridge Manor has always been believed to be haunted. Everyone in the village agrees and keeps a respectful, fearful, distance. New in town after a bad breakup and an internship that led to disappointment rather than a permanent job, Harry Styles figures taking pictures of the decrepit building could be a great new creative project. Or at least a much-needed distraction while he searches for a job and crashes at his parents’ new house. No one warned him about the apparitions though; about the music, the laughter, the people who flicker and vanish when you call after them, the echoes of a past that should be long gone… Harry has never believed in spirits but even he can admit that there’s something weird going on. What starts as mere curiosity evolves into a full-blown investigation and soon enough, Harry finds himself making friends with an aristocrat from the 1920s and struggling with finding the best way to tell him that he’s dead.

The Ghost Hunter AU where Niall lives to prove ghosts are real, Zayn is a skeptical librarian and Harry gets caught up in a century-old mystery and catches feeling in the process.

Part 1 of Through Eerie Chaos

🌾Show Me Life Like I've Never Seen by @Rearviewdreamer (42k) | Mature

Louis never expected to leave the small art studio three blocks down from his job with anything besides the painting he caught a glimpse of and simply couldn't forget.

🌾Piece by Piece by @chloehl10 / lovelarry10, wander723 (168k) | Explicit

Now that his best friend Liam is getting married Louis Tomlinson needs help, and he’s finally admitted it. He can’t work and be the best dad to his disabled son Mason without it. That’s where Harry Styles comes in.

And so begins the love story of a lifetime.

Part 1 of The Mason-Verse

🌾The Earl and His Duke by @becomeawendybird / QuickedWeen (52k) | Explicit

Lord Tomlinson, the elusive Duke of Leeds, has suddenly emerged in London for the first time in six years. He is believed to have been abroad. He is believed to have been widowed. He is believed to want to withdraw from society.

Harry doesn’t know what is true and what isn’t. He only knows that the older brother of one of his best friends is back in town to stay, and that time has taken him from merely the most beautiful man Harry knew, to the most handsome man to ever walk the earth. A man whose gaze probably still skips over Harry like he doesn’t exist the same way it did when they were young.

lululawrence’s June 2021 Fic List

Previous Fic Lists / Fic List Podcast Masterpost

Another 28th has come around, and therefore I have another fic list! This list is much shorter than usual because I read three fics that were all around or over 100k, so not as many fics, but certainly just as high of quality and an incredibly varied group topically. I am so excited to share them with you and hope you’re interested in listening to this month’s podcast, where I get to talk in more depth about what I enjoyed so much about each of them.

As always, be sure to show your love and appreciation for all of the hard work our fandom authors have put into their fics with kudos, nice comments, and (when applicable) reblogging their fic posts!

Mine Would Be You by @crinkle-eyed-boo / crinkle-eyed-boo (KimmieRocks) (115k, E, Harry/Louis, Big Bang fic, Exes to Lovers, Dual Timelines/Flashbacks, They are technically flashbacks, but in a lot of ways it reads more like two timelines being read in parallel, Artist Harry, Writer/Editor Louis, Okay but for real I have no idea how to summarize this fic, other than to say it’s sooooo much pain written in such a beautifully real way, and that it somehow manages still to heal you so beautifully, I loved this fic beyond words)

The Murmur of Yearning by @mediawhorefics / MediaWhore (93k, E, Harry/Louis, Big Bang fic, Historical AU, Widow Harry, Marquess Harry, Estate Steward Louis, Pining, Strangers to Friends to Lovers, There’s so much to say about this fic and I feel like almost all of it is spoilery, But the way the characters and emotions are written, they feel authentic and make sense for the situation, and the way they’re handled is beautiful, mistakes are made and handled, and i just love it so much, sooooo gooooood)

I hope we never change by @louloubabys1992 / louloubaby92 (17k, M, Niall/Zayn, side Harry/Louis, Heartbreak Weather Fest fic, Song Fic, Based on No Judgement, Uni AU, Childhood Friends to Lovers, Pining, SOOOOO much pining, Matchmaking, Light Angst with a Happy Ending, This fic was so amazingly gooooood, Niall and Zayn have some shit to work through, but it’s so great, and the fucking idiots in love that are their flatmates made me laugh so hard, Such a fun fic)

[theficpusher]

a rose surrounded by thorns by star_k | E | 3336 There were nine levels of hell in Dante’s vision. Distantly, Louis wondered in which one you’d go for getting off on rimming the demon who ate your soul.

Out of Reach by frosteddream | M | 4270 Angels and demons aren’t allowed to have any sort of relationship… until fate comes into play.

Salvation Let’s Their Wings Unfold by twoshipstiedup | M | 14019 Harry is an ex demon who gets banished back to Earth. Louis is an angel who gets sent down there for work. Naturally, they end up together. AU

Pray Till I Go Blind by el_em_en_oh_pee | E | 18988 Louis is (kind of) a preacher. Harry is (probably) a demon. Of course, nothing’s as simple as that. This is not a love story.

Say Hallelujah, Say Goodnight by alivingfire | E | 110260 Louis is an angel who is just a little too bad to be good, Harry is a demon who is just a little too good to be bad, and they’re both a little too in love to be impartial when angels and demons go to war. Louis has been alive since life was a mere concept; he watched the summoning of Man into existence, he was there when Eve took the apple. He’s seen seas break the world into separate pieces, he’s watched empires crumble into dust. He’s seen wildfire consume cities, he’s seen the world painted white with snow. He has known the most beautiful humans to walk the planet, he has watched the most powerful mortals gather their riches and influence around them and then die just like the poorest, weakest humans do. He’s met humans whose motives defy explanation, people who use their lives as battering rams, as tools, as weapons, as chess pieces. None of that stopped Louis in his tracks. But Harry did.

Run Like the Devil by benzos | E | 138095 Harry stops pouting, but his frown is still fixed in place. “Are you sure?” he asks. “You know it’s your soul you’re signing away.” He sounds…sad? No, that’s not right, but there’s something. Christ. This is the most incompetent demon Louis’ ever met. If he hadn’t seen the red of his eyes he wouldn’t believe he was a demon at all. How’d he get this job if he isn’t trying to convince Louis to deal? Or is it just another trick? A ploy for sympathy? “I’m sure,” Louis says. “Come over here and kiss me.” * Supernatural AU. Louis hunts demons; Harry’s the strangest demon he’s ever met, and he keeps fucking meeting him.

Through a Mirror Dimly     |     LadyLondonderry

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson   |   38k   |   M   |   10 Chapters

Louis Tomlinson, in his third year at university, does not expect nor want the roommate that is being assigned to his room.

Harry Styles, in his first year at university, has just been kicked out of one dorm and doesn’t want to deal with yet another snobby, rich roommate.

Explicit | 18k | Written for @landslidelouis for the @hlsummerexchange2019

60′s/70′s AU, California, Older HL, Fluff, Fate, Smut, Sexual Awakening.

At forty-nine, Louis hadn’t envisioned being at a crossroads in his life; kids, grandkids, an ex-wife, and completely at a loss as to what direction his future will take.

OR The one where Louis is lost, Harry is an excellent tour guide, and age is no barrier to finding the love of your life.

I agree that there are amazing fics out there and that it's rude to say that there are none. They might not be your cup of tea topic-wise but they are still great. To spread positivity I was wondering if you might want to share your favorite fics of this year (or any other timeframe)?

Don't Let the Tide Come by @sadaveniren

King Louis of the fire tribe has a week to find his water tribe soulmate. This would be infinitely easier if the four tribes on the continent were not isolated from one another. 

Through a Mirror Dimly by @londonfoginacup​

Louis Tomlinson, in his third year at university, does not expect nor want the roommate that is being assigned to his room.Harry Styles, in his first year at university, has just been kicked out of one dorm and doesn't want to deal with yet another snobby, rich roommate.They don't get along, and that's just how it is, until circumstances force them to reevaluate.

OR The one where Louis is lost, Harry is an excellent tour guide, and age is no barrier to finding the love of your life.

Alone Apart, Alone Together by bkljt

Harry doesn’t know how, but he feels a shift as he waits for the response. A thickness to the air. It’s like there is energy, a spark, flowing between them, even thousands of miles apart. He didn’t necessarily mean it to sound sexual. He didn’t not mean it that way. He was going to leave it up to Louis’s interpretation. Or, the one where Harry and Louis sext while apart. 

Take Our Bodies Higher by @littlelouishiccups​

Harry wasn’t often caught off guard at his job anymore. He called different men Sir, Master, or Daddy for work almost every week, but he’d never been told he was a good boy in a voice quite like that.

In which Harry is a phone sex operator and Louis dials a wrong number.

An Unbalanced Force by @kingsofeverything

Harry has the rest of his life planned. Marriage. Career. Kids. Happily ever after.

But sometimes plans don’t work out.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Don’t forget to show the authors all the appreciation they deserve!

Words: 18k

In world where everyone is born with a unique tattoo on their ankle, people come to wear the marks of everyone they fall in love with on their skin.

Anonymous Said by alivingfire 

Words: 21k

When Harry was sixteen, he reached out for someone, anyone, to help him through the hardest days of his life. When Louis was eighteen, he answered. While they didn’t know each other’s names or faces or lives at all, really, it didn’t stop them from falling a little bit in love.

And when Harry moves to Manchester for uni two years later, he meets a boy in a bookshop named Louis and wonders why it all feels so easy.

Or: two boys, two blogs, two years of anonymous messages, and a bookshop where it all comes together.
