✨💎 You Take Me Over, You’re the Magic in My Veins
(E, 36k) Louis can feel Harry’s eyes on him as he turns to head toward his seat. He tucks a secretive smile into the palm of his hand while he slides into place beside his sister, his mother’s seat still empty as it awaits the Queen’s entrance. He knows he should be behaving himself a bit more, should be focusing his attention on Gemma, rather than her brother. He’s working on borrowed time, is expected to announce his engagement to the Princess within the next few weeks, but he can’t seem to help himself. Gemma is lovely, kind and witty and beautiful, but he has no interest in being married to her, had no interest in marriage before her arrival, period.
Teeth sunk into his bottom lip to disguise his smile, Louis risks a quick glance toward Gemma and Harry’s usual seats, finds Harry already seated and staring steadily back at him. His hair is a mess from Louis’ fingers and his cheeks are still flushed, and Louis’ heart gives a heavy, delighted thud. No, he thinks, he has no desire to be betrothed to Princess Gemma, but he finds he wouldn’t mind being married after all, if it was Prince Harry he was promised to, instead.
✨ I'll Still Feel the Same Around You by @crinkle-eyed-boo
(E, 2,4k) He finds himself wishing that the bedsheet would slip down a few more inches so he could get a good look at Harry’s perfectly pert– Louis’ breath hitches as his cock stirs, suddenly very interested in this train of thought.
The answer to all of Louis’ troubles is so fucking obvious he can’t believe he didn’t think of it until now. Nothing puts him to sleep like a good orgasm.
Louis finds the cure for his insomnia in the form of his husband.
i'll take your pain by @suspendrs
(NR, 2,2k) It’s kind of romantic when Harry thinks about it, feeling all the pain of the person he’s supposed to love for the rest of his life. Sure, it’s rather inconvenient when he’s in class and his soulmate gets kicked in the balls, or when he’s sleeping and his soulmate knocks his head or his knee off something. It’d be nice if the function helped them to find each other, but Harry supposes he can live with knowing that they’re destined to run into each other someday.
Or, soulmates have the ability to feel each other's pain, and Harry finds his after getting his arse waxed. (Or, the soulmate au crack fic I can't believe I actually wrote.)

the unfinished game (series) by barchive
(T, 75k) Harry's been engaged to Princess Charlotte of Ryde for as long as he can remember. He's come to know her, to love her, through the letters she's sent him over the past three years.
But when the wedding finally arrives, Harry quickly learns that nothing is as it seems. With his crown and country at stake, Harry must decide who to trust in this strange new land. And the sly Crown Prince of Ryde doesn't seem inclined to make things easy.
(M, 164k) Harry and Louis are finally engaged. That, unfortunately, is the easy part.
The course to true love never did run smooth and with Queens and countries on the board, nothing is certain. It is down to them both to find a path onwards, but will be it together or alone?
Shadows Come With The Pain That You're Running From (Love Was Something You've Never Heard Enough) by yrsacd
(E, 51k) “You know Hazza, you really are so different to all the other alphas out there. You’re soft, caring, cuddly and sweet and those damn dimples. So freaking pretty, it’s almost annoying. I would hate you if you weren’t my best friend. You’d really be a brilliant omega. Nature really did a number here,” Niall mumbled. It was his turn to smash his nose into Harry’s neck and Harry was extremely thankful for that because he wasn’t sure he had his facial expression in check at all.
Or a Band AU in which Harry isn't allowed to be who he really is and the North American Tour might bring some unexpected truths into the web of lies and also a bit of heat that has very little to do with the summer in the US.
(E, 10k) “Fuck off!” A northern accent complained; the sound of bodies wrestling before it went quiet again; the clunk of the lock confirming to him that his suitor was now locked inside.
Harry knew the voice. He knew. And if he hadn’t known the voice, he would have known the smoky, sweet scent of the boy before him. Seventeen years old, friends since they were eight, and they’d never been pushed into the kissing cupboard together before.
✨ sweet, sweet fate by barchive
(T, 1,3k) Harry’s lived with a NSFW soulmark for almost twenty-five years now. When he finally meets the man responsible, he gives him a little piece of his mind.

(G, 7k) "I said," Louis’ voice is venomous, "who the fuck is this?"
(Uni AU, where Louis pretends to be Harry's boyfriend to scare away his one night stands.)
Please Remember Me Once More by peachyzain
(M, 58k) Everything has gone to shit, as in most of the UK has been destroyed by the corrupt government and nobody can be trusted. Louis and Zayn are partners in crime armed with devilish good looks, quick wit, and actual weapons. Liam is a guarded badass with a soft spot for one particular boy. Niall is a box of giggles and dick drawings, and a surprising amount of knowledge. Harry is a particularly affectionate boy with no memory of a life before Louis found him in the woods.
✨ Endgame by @brightgolden
(E, 38k) Where omega Crown Prince Harry Styles is trying and failing to get pregnant for four years, but all that is about to change when courtesan alpha Louis Tomlinson comes into the equation.
✨ The Edge of the Stars by @casuallyhl
(NR, 16k) to want to go out with me?”
“Oh baby,” Jay chuckled. “I can convince all of the UK to want to go out with you.”
Or, a Meet the Parents AU where Harry is the man of Louis’ dreams, and it’s up to Jay to convince him to date her son.
the sanctity of patience by scrunchyharry
(T, 22k) When young Lord Harry was chosen by King Louis of Bavaria to become his husband and prince consort, Harry thought all of his dreams had come through. His illusions came crashing down when he understood it meant living in isolation in the alpine castle of Neuschwanstein with a husband who turned out to be far from what he had hoped for.
His illusions vanished, Harry will have learn to appreciate what has and even, perhaps, fall in love with his imperfect husband and his castle.
✨ The Gods Wish They Believed In Us by @letthemusicmoveyou28
(E, 4k) Harry smirks, resting his hands on the mat below him and leaning backwards. “I think I know how I could encourage you to get done with your workout a bit quicker.”
Harry’s not wearing a shirt, which isn’t an uncommon occurrence. Just a tiny pair of cherry red gym shorts cling to his muscular hips. Although the term gym might be a bit generous. They’re so small they would barely be appropriate for the beach.
Not that Louis is complaining, mind you. It’s just an observation.
(Or the one where Louis is struggling to find motivation to finish his workout. Harry has an unconventional and effective way to encourage him).
✨ all i’ve ever learned from love by @eulogisemeao3
(M, 53k) “Will you think of me?”
“When you’re with him, will you think of me? Every time he touches you, every kiss, when he—” Louis thrusts into tight heat, groaning deep at the way Harry shudders beneath him, how his fingers dig into his shoulders, how he moans Louis’ name hot and addicting. “Does this. Will you think of me?”
Harry doesn’t know how to say that ever since he met Louis, every man after had been replaced by him.
In 1940's New Orleans, Harry's only ever known how to survive. One night he meets his match in the rugged Louis Tomlinson who gets through life just like him. What was to be a one night encounter turns into something bigger. Evenings spent like thieves, and nights spent baring their bleeding hearts, lines get blurred. Behind the masks they wear, they realise that somewhere out there, love exists, and it can grow oh so quickly.
so grab your passport and my hand by @infinitelymint
(M, 32k) The one in which Louis plays football and Harry sings a lot, and somehow that means they're meant to be. They'll figure it out soon enough.
Hello Darling by @zanniscaramouche
(E, 5k) As CEO, Mr. Tomlinson is used to spending more nights curled on his office coach than his bed, but this time it isn't an impending merger or new client deal keeping him hibernated on the fortieth floor this Christmas Eve. A city wide blizzard warning, a power outage, and a dismal lack of tea leaves him hours away from what he expects to be one of the more pathetic Christmas mornings of his life.
That is, until the new bright eyed intern scares the living crap out of him.
✨ The Aftermath by lanuali
(T, 4,8k) After the incident on the Red Carpet at the Grammys 2023, Louis confronts Kid for his inappropriate behaviour towards Harry.
Something Worth Crying About by @yoursolosong
(E, 11k) Omega Louis tells his best friend how he’s never cried during sex. Alpha Harry takes that as a challenge.
✨ And I'll Be Yours To Keep by sweetly_disposed
(T, 58k) Moving from a rough school to a private performing arts college is a culture shock for Louis. He's trying to settle in the best he can, establish himself as a respectable teacher when the kids he's teaching are only a few years younger than himself. One student in particular, quiet Harry Styles, catches Louis' attention from the word go.
It soon becomes apparent that Harry has talent, is one of the best ballet dancers Louis has ever seen. Louis has a responsibility to keep Harry at arm's length, but with every day that goes by, he feels his control slip a little more. It's risky for everyone involved, but somehow...Harry seems worth it.
("That's Harry Styles," Zayn said. "He's been at the school since he was eleven. Hands down the best male ballet dancer here, I swear.")
The Thrill of the Chase (Are You Mine?) by SilverStuff50
(E, 30k) Harry leads a search and rescue team who specialise in capturing feral alphas and omegas and returning them to the Feral Recovery Centre so they can be rehabilitated back to their normal lives. The case of feral omega Louis Tomlinson sparks a fight for dominance between Harry's instinctual inner wolf and his rational human mind, the outcome of which flips his life upside down forever.
Louis is feral. Harry fucks up.

Watch the Sun Coming Up by @sadaveniren
(E, 36k) As Louis approaches his thirtieth birthday his pack is desperate for him to find a mate.
Harry has always expected one day he may settle down with a nice alpha and they would continue to live in his small hometown.
Together they somehow will make this work.
✨ the thought of you is wrapped around my neck by @louieshalo
(E, 15k) Harry bites his lip, glancing over at him; his eyes are still on the horizon, so Harry lets his gaze linger for a moment. The chill has flushed the tip of his nose and apples of his cheeks pink, and he looks so painfully pretty that it makes Harry’s heart hurt; this close, he can see a few patches of close-shaven stubble Louis’ razor hadn’t quite cleared away, and belatedly it strikes him that Louis must have shaved specifically for this. He’d certainly had noticeable scruff when Harry had been shamelessly ogling at him through the huge festival screens lining the stage earlier in the day.
His teeth sink into his bottom lip to temper the satisfied little smile that blooms at the thought of Louis taking the time to neaten himself up for a night out with Harry, the idea sating the endless pit of need that Louis ignites in him just enough to quiet it for a short while.
or, where Harry is desperately, stupidly in love with his best friend.
I've got my eyes on you (please don't break my heart) by SweetieR
(M, 8k) Harry and Louis have been together for 10 years and are madly in love with each other.
Lately though, Louis is hiding something from his boyfriend... Is Louis actually cheating on Harry?
Or - Louis is terrible at keeping a secret and Harry is an anxious man in love.
(E, 16k) Harry falls asleep a 17 year-old who lives in Cheshire and is probably rockstar Louis Tomlinson's biggest fan. He wakes up 24 with a wedding ring on his finger, two kids, and Louis Tomlinson attempting to wake him up with a blow job. The doctor calls it organic retrograde amnesia, says he might never get back the last seven years of his life. The only thing that feels the same is how he feels when Louis touches him, and maybe that's enough to make him fall in love all over again.
✨ The Exceptionals by @canonlarry
(T, 12k) The world has been decimated by a nuclear apocalypse. Harry lost his family and the love of his life, and is left with a nasty scar across his face and the mutated ability to heal people with his hands. When raiders come into his village trying to kidnap Exceptionals like him, Harry is forced to flee to people and places he's never seen before-- and maybe find a piece of his past in the process.
✨ Web Me Harder by @canonlarry
(E, 7k) Louis Tomlinson, otherwise known as London's masked hero Spiderman, finds himself crashing through the window of Harry Styles one night after a particularly nasty fight with a villain. Luckily Harry is a nursing student with a soft spot for caped crusaders who's more than happy to tend to all of Louis' wounds, no matter how many times he swings by.
The Checkout by SilverStuff50
(E, 12k) Omega Harry is a bit obsessed with one of the workers at the small supermarket around the corner from his flat. The problem is, it's the place where Harry goes for last minute items and emergencies, so the Alpha (Louis) always sees him buy embarrassing things.
✨ beat the darkness by turnyourankle
(T, 7k) Harry is a volunteer nurse stationed in Cairo; Louis is one of the patients in his ward.
5 + 1 Emergency Calls by alwaysmadeatmidnights
(M, 3,6k) A record of six calls: five when Louis was listed as Harry’s emergency contact, and one after he wasn’t — or so he thought. Some ties are harder to erase than a name on a form.
✨ all of our yesterdays by boyfriendstages
(E, 2k) Harry doesn’t love anything more than a morning off with the love of his life—except a morning off that ends in mind-numbing sex.
✨ softness as a weapon by @ursulalequeen
(NR, 7k) Louis swallows thickly, one hand lifted in the air like he wants to touch, but he stops himself, stepping closer instead. “If you weren’t trying to seduce me, darling, I’ve some devastating news for you.”
or, Harry tries on a lingerie set. Louis walks in with a hard on and a personal mission to make him believe he’s pretty.
