Louis goes to the woods.

[acollectionoffanfiction]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Louis runs a record label and Harry is his daughter's new nanny. Over the course of a year, Harry helps Louis learn what it really is to be a father and somehow they find an unexpected home in each other.

Or, the kid fic where Louis wants to make Harry a star, Zayn just needs everyone to stop being stupid, Niall laughs his arse off at everything, Liam attempts to keep things in order and Harry takes a chance.

[acollectionoffanfiction]

Louis hates his job and Harry really lives up to his last name. (or, Louis sells men’s shoes, Harry is a rather famous fashion blogger, and they’re brought together by a gaudy pair of boots.)

[acollectionoffanfiction]

Harry hums, staring at his hands in his lap, and Louis can still feel their smoothness, how solid they were in between his own. “Do you think it’s the same for us? Are we here only because of the likeliness of our jobs? Of our lives?” “We’re here because we have inventive managers,” Louis says, giving Harry’s leg a little nudge with his knee, but all that’s going around in his head is, I think I'd be in the same spot in every possible universe. or, when actor Louis Tomlinson used to daydream about dating Harry Styles, this is not what he had in mind.

[acollectionoffanfiction]

The Honourable Louis Tomlinson, heir to the Earldom of Colbury and the multi-billion pound family business, RLA Enterprises, often feels under pressure to conform to the expectations of those around him. The 30 year old, nerdy and rather homely physicist part of himself feels he ought to be getting married and carrying on the family line – as does his formidable Grandmother. The only problem is, after his last disastrous relationship, seven years ago, he has little desire to get intimate with another woman, let alone marry one. Of course, Harry, his famous actor of a best friend, always likes to pip in that he is free to marry him and while Louis loves him to pieces, the joke is getting a bit old now.

[acollectionoffanfiction]

For three years, Harry has been running from his past. Now, he is moving to London and pledges to fulfil his only dream -- making it big in the music industry. Not everyone has a place, though, and the competition is tough. As is his past catching up on him. Louis is part of the biggest boy band of the world, and getting there had meant a lot of hard work, as well as sacrificing parts of his heart and soul. He's still happy. Maybe not as happy as he could be, but who is he to complain? Featuring Perrie as Harry's adorable flatmate, Niall as his manager, and Liam and Zayn as Louis' bandmates.

harry is sitting there, so fucking casual, and louis realizes in a split second he was not ready. when harry walked out in detroit and never looked back, he was a boy verging on a man, still only twenty years old, but there's a man in his place now. hard and resolute, yes, but still, for the first time in a long time, louis can kind of see the old harry in him. the soft, directness of his gaze, the hesitant smile he gives to lou, the way he wrings his ridiculously large hands in his lap. he's a little bit the eager sixteen year old puppy dog again, his innocence and sweetness resurrected miraculously, and louis freezes in place. he was prepared to face the asshole harry. he was prepared to meet a whole new harry. louis is not prepared to meet one of the old incarnations of harry, and it absolutely tears him up. or the fic where harry spirals out of control, the band breaks up, and then he shows back up, five years later.

also known as the classic tale of louis's struggle with a hippie boyfriend, a ginger cat, and a lot of wool.

louis tomlinson is awful. harry is just as difficult, and they're both terrible to each other. it makes being in the same acapella group together quite complicated

“yeah okay, look, um. i’m in a relationship now, mum. and it’s pretty serious and i’m very much in love with him.” louis’ mum’s face lights up at that.

“well why didn’t you say?! can we meet him?! is he here today?”

“this is the catch. he’s kind of, well, he's incredibly famous. so he couldn’t be at the ceremony but he’s in the car and we’re going to go back to his home for some lunch, is that okay?”

“famous?! louis, if this is some sort of joke…”

“it’s not, mum, i promise. please can you just get in the car? he’s in this one, i want you three to meet him first, just don’t freak out, please,” he says, gesturing at harry’s traditional black car.

or the one where harry is going to be king, louis can't handle it like he thinks, zayn is finally happy, liam's a massive geek and niall's marrying a princess.

harry's been forced into a high-class prostitution ring because his heroin-addicted mother is too strung out to realize that her boyfriend is pimping out her son. louis is the crown prince of england and gets into a lot of mischief and thinks it's normal to pay prostitutes to "get a good night's sleep." they probably aren't meant to see each other beyond that one random night, but then again, they probably aren't meant to see each other at all.

“hey, louis,” eleanor says suddenly, “wasn’t harry styles on x-factor the same year you auditioned?”

“i didn’t know you auditioned for x factor!” perrie gasps, as louis sends a death glare eleanor’s way, who at least has the decency to look apologetic. “oh my god, did you meet him?”

“right, i need another drink.” louis gets up heavily, ignoring zayn’s concerned look and Eleanor’s guilty one.

his head is still fuzzy, but he doesn’t feel warm anymore.

(or, three years after louis is send home at the judges houses stage of x-factor, and harry finds international fame as a solo artist, they meet again at a local pub in london.)

the three of them have always been a unit, seamlessly pulling pranks to get revenge and keep life interesting. the last few months of sixth form bring about a lot of changes, however. gemma refuses to let anything stop her from getting into her top-pick uni, perrie second-guesses what makes her special, and louis breaks the most common of friend codes: he falls for his best mate's little brother. a coming-of-age tale rife with sneaking around, late-night vandalism, first times, successes, and jealousy.
