“Why are you hanging from my window sill?” A long moment of silence followed. Harry watched as the dainty hands on his window flexed and strengthened their hold. “Parkour?” Came a meek reply and Harry had to bite his lip to stifle his giggle. “I don’t believe you,” he said with the firmest tone he could manage at the moment, which wasn’t very threatening at all. “Could you just open the window please? We can discuss the how and when as soon as I’m not dangling almost 30 feet over the ground.”

or, the one where a robbery goes terribly wrong and thieves should not be allowed to be that cute

Queen Anne’s Lace by Neurtsy

Words: 11570

Chapters: 1/1

Pairings: Larry, Lilo

Two endings collide into an unfinished beginning.

This story is the epitome of sad beauty. Yes that is a thing, and yes this story captures that. It has a supernatual twist to it and a magical twist on words. Even though there supernatural elements in this story, it only shows the most beautiful sides of humanity. I might sound like I’m exaggerating (might be a bit biased even, since this story was written for me), but I can still promise you, that this story is absolutely worth everything.

This story is part of the HL Summer Exchange 2015

Enjoy! (and maybe get a box of tissues before you start) <3 <3 - Jo

Pairing: Harry/Louis

“Would it be weird of me to say I’m almost, like… nervous?”

Louis shakes his head, giggling as their noses press together in an Eskimo kiss. “Would it be weird of me to say I’m glad? Because I am too. A little.”

Louis can feel Harry exhale. “If you’re nervous, it means you really like the person, right? That’s what I’ve heard.”

“That sounds right,” Louis says, and then he leans in.

The High School AU that was inspired by Home.

This story is so so sweet and innocent it makes my heart ache. A story that was inspired by Home? Yes it’s exactly as good as you’re imagining it.

Have fun reading! :) - Jo

The Thinker Of Tender Thoughts by Anonymous (1D Aro-Ace-Fic-Exchange)

Words: 13,227

Chapters: 1/1

Pairing: Harry/Louis

Louis sits on his hands to stop them from shaking as he adds, ‘and I’m ace.’ If only he had glitter, he thinks. Coming out deserves a bit of sparkle.

This fic made my heart dance. It’s well written, everything emerged in a soft atmosphere, the characters are described lovingly and the storyline is just.... very dear to my heart, very important overall, and very perfect.

The Story is part of the 1D-Aro-Ace-Fic-Exchange.

Have fun reading! <3 - Jo

The Sound of Shooting Stars by theseblueskies

“It was just a million little things,“ Harry whispers, so softly that it becomes almost indecipherable through the static buzzing faintly through the speakers in the car radio, “that when you added them all up, they just meant that we were made for each other—like the way her hair always fell into her eyes, or how every time she discovered a new song she liked, she’d play it on repeat for a month.”

Louis gets lost in the smooth rise and fall of his speech, in the way he draws out his vowels. Harry’s words are filling up his mind like a smoke machine, and Louis can’t even breathe anymore. He guides his car along the curve of the highway, driving underneath an overpass, and shadows melt through the windows of his car, casting everything in a blend of moonlight and darkness.

Just for a moment, it feels like if Louis turned his head to the side, he would see Harry folded up in the passenger seat beside him.

A Sleepless in Seattle AU where Harry is Sam, Louis is Annie, and the universe has a twisted sense of humor. Guest starring: fate, magic, destiny, and one little girl who unknowingly changes everything.

do you guys know of any time travel AU's? ones that don't include like, predatory age differences cause, y'know. it's okay if you don't, thank you either way!

hello, it’s me, the new member *blushes* i hope i can do this properly, but i will try my very best. So time travel AU’s…..

for me a classic and a true must read is this one (you have to be logged in to ao3, but it’s worth it trust me):

My Heart Is Breathing For This Moment In Time by usedtothebeach

When Louis first saw Harry at the 2010 X Factor Auditions, he thought he was watching a peculiarly special stranger. But Harry has known Louis ever since he was five years old.

Because Louis has a rare genetic disorder that causes him to Time Travel to important moments in his past and in his future - and to Harry, always to Harry. When they’re put into a band together, it seems like everything Harry has been waiting and wishing for has finally come true. Except for the small fact that Louis doesn’t know that Harry is in love with him- that Harry’s always been in love with him. Fate, it would seem, is just getting started.

A story about growing up and growing together, and the impossible love that makes it all worthwhile.

The age differences are sometimes extreme but handled with so much care and so delicately that it’s still a good and wonderful read. I do understand if you are not okay with that though.

Then there is this very lovely story:

Temporary Tattoos, Hotel Hearts, Horizon Homes by Teumessian

Louis is just 18 and ends up in 2015 for one day at Harry’s request, one day to make sure his spirit is strong and hopeful enough to take him to the X Factor and end him up where he’s supposed to be. Aka, the one where Harry makes sure Louis knows how amazing he is.

It’s really really sweet and the age difference is 18 and 21 so it’s a safe read for sure.

There is also the time travel daddy verse by istajmaal, but the first part of that is very VERY predatory in its age difference display. The second one is, from a legal standpoint, very much okay, but it’s still a lot. And, I don’t know how comfortable you are with that kind of smut in general, so I feel a bit stupid reccing them in the first place.

That’s all I have for now, and I hope I could help :)

This Ain’t Just a Thing That You Give Up by lululawrence

Words: 34,998

Chapters: 2/2

Pairing: Harry/Louis

Harry turned to Liam to whisper something about not being in Kansas anymore but his best friend was frozen to his spot with a look of complete disbelief on his face. Harry looked to his right, the direction Liam seemed to be focused on, and saw a small group of people who had paused their discussion to look towards him in confusion.

A small group including Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson.

Harry is fairly sure his jaw actually dropped.

“Li, is that…?”

Liam nods his head emphatically. “I’m about 110% sure that yes. It is.”

or…

The one where Harry is a baker in addition to being a college student who just happens to meet the crazy famous Louis Tomlinson while on spring break. Featuring personal assistant!niall, roommate and best friend!liam, and costar/model!zayn.

This fic made my heart melt. Everything about it is just precious and I definitely wouldn’t mind reading this again and again.

(This fic is part of the HL Spring Fic Exchange.)

Have fun reading! -C

Bring Out Feelings in Me I Never Show by tornorrows

Words: 24,652

Chapters: 2/2

Pairing: Harry/Louis

“I really think you should stop reading,” Liam says, having moved to hover behind Louis’ back at some point. “I can already see the cogs turning in your head, Louis, and I don’t like this.”

“Shut up,” Louis waves him off and continues reading.

I can do these things, at your request: openly hit on other female guests while you act like you don’t notice; start instigative discussions about politics and/or religion; propose to you in front of everyone; pretend to be really drunk as the evening goes on (sorry I don’t drink, but I used to); start an actual, physical fight with a family member, either inside or on the front lawn for all the neighbors to see.

[Louis accidentally hires a felon to be his fake boyfriend for Thanksgiving. Or, the fake boyfriends au no one asked for, inspired by this.]

Because of this fic I’m now wishing it was Thanksgiving. I loved every second of this. If you love a good fluffy fake boyfriend au, definitely read this.

Have fun reading! -C

Could you please link me long angsty pregnant louis fics? (Chaptered) and well written werewolf Harry fics? (B!louis) thanks for the help! x

Hi! Sorry we’ve taken so long to get back to you. Charlie and I have mulled over what exactly you’re asking for multiple times and we’re still stumped. Are you asking for mpreg Louis fics without a/b/o and then separate fics with werewolf Harry, or are you asking for a combination of both?

Please send us another ask so we can help you! Sorry again for the delay. -M

WELCOME TO THE 1D POLYAMOROUS FIC EXCHANGE!

There’s a lack of polyamorous fics in the One Direction fandom, so we thought we’d take it upon ourselves to make a fic exchange to allow for more polyamory!

GENERAL INFO:

Charlie, Jo, and Maddie are the runners of this exchange.

The link to the exchange is HERE.

The exchange’s main blog is HERE. All information, updates, and questions will be posted and organized.

The sign-up form is HERE.

Please reblog this post to get the word out! The more exposure we get, the more fics we’ll receive and the more we’ll be helping to inform the fandom on what polyamory is, what it can be like, how it works, and just generally bring more polyamorous fics to enjoy!

FAQ:

What is a fic exchange? A fic exchange is an event on AO3 that aims to produce more fan fiction for a particular fandom or pairing. Each person participating in this exchange will submit three prompts/themes that they would like to see in a fic written for them. They will also include their likes/dislikes and things they do not wish to read. When you receive your prompts, you will be given all of the requests from one other person in the exchange. You will pick one of their prompts and turn it into a fic. In return, another member will receive your prompts and write one of them for you. This is an anonymous fic exchange. All authors will remain anonymous until every fic has been posted.

Important Dates:

July 1st: Sign-ups open

August 1st: Sign-ups close

August 5th: Prompts delivered

October 1st: Assignments due

Rules:

To sign up for this exchange, you must have an ao3 account.

Upon signup, you must provide at least three prompts for your giftee to choose from. This is just so your giftee has a variety of story ideas to choose from!

Any pairing is allowed. Please keep in mind though, that polyamorous relationships include more than just two people, but a person can still be polyamorous while being in a relationship with only one person. If you have any questions about this, you may message the exchange blog!

Any side pairings are welcome, and so are other romantic orientations and sexualities as well, unless specified otherwise by the prompter.

Please do not write anything that’s been listed as something the prompter doesn’t want in their fic. We don’t want anyone feeling uncomfortable with triggers and unwanted content.

The minimum word count is 3,000, but feel free to write as much as your heart desires. There is no word count limit, and the longer the fic the better!

Please have someone beta and britpick (if necessary) your work before submitting it. If you can’t find a beta, Maddie is always willing to help!

If at any time you feel you need to drop out of the exchange or need an extension, please let us know ASAP!

[acehaz]

have you read any fics from the spring exchange?

Hi babe! I’m assuming you mean this exchange. If I’m wrong, feel free to send us a follow-up ask and correct me!

Here are the ones we’ve read:

I Love You, Don’t You Mind?

Harry and Louis are vloggers who pine over each other. It’s kinda cute.

I Think That Possibly, Maybe I’m Falling for You

Louis is the deputy director of parks and recreation for a bankrupt town. Harry’s the guy who’s come in to tell Louis just what exactly he can’t do without money. Aka, the Parks and Rec AU where Louis is Leslie and Harry is Ben.

My Kingdom for a Kiss (Tonight You’re on My Mind)

Zayn and Louis make a friendly wager and it goes too far, Harry’s a baker with a heart of gold and really great hair, Liam is an overworked PA who just wants to enjoy his holiday and Niall is completely at ease, as always. An accidentally married AU mixed with a splash of modern royalty.

Take Me for What I Am (Who I Was Meant to Be)

Louis is dealing with heartache. Niall signs him up for a dating show to help him move on. 

And here are some that caught our eye:

As Golden As The Coast

Elementary School Teachers AU in which Harry always seems to have paint chips in his hair, Zayn is scary, Liam is secretly optimistic, Niall owns a not-RV, and Louis is new in town.

Do You Realize

Harry really didn’t expect to be swept up in snowflakes and eyelashes and coy smiles when he’d agreed to go on a skiing holiday with his lads. Nor was he expecting to cherish the sound of someone’s voice over his own thoughts, marveling about the way it crackled against the burning embers in the fireplace. And he really, really wasn’t expecting for his peaceful life to be turned on its head, all because of a bloody snowboard.

But, then again, he also never expected that he could fall in love in less than two weeks, so. So maybe life isn’t what Harry expected.

I’ll Be Yours to Keep

Louis should’ve thought a lot more about who he said his fake boyfriend is, especially since he and his “significant other” kinda hate each other. Most of the time. 

Scoring Position

Harry Styles hasn’t pitched a perfect game, but if he closes out this final inning, he’ll get the win and bring handsome soccer star Louis Tomlinson home.

[Or the one where they’re all athlete-type people (except Gucci model Zayn and overly-friendly sports journalist Niall) and long-fated lovers Harry and Louis finally get together after Liam plays in the Superbowl.]

Something Special Happened Today

AU; Louis is a drama teacher with no filter. Harry is a hotshot artist who uses flower petals instead of paints. They fall fast.

Hope you enjoy! These are just a select few of the whopping 80+ fics posted in the exchange so far, so if none of these are your cup of tea, I’m sure you’ll be able to find one you like.

Thanks for your message! xx -M
