Pairing: Louis/Harry
Rating: Explicit
Chapters: 1/1
Word Count: 15k
Summary: Louis is a witch with a coffee shop, a landlord problem, a sarcastic streak, and absolutely no time for vampires.
Harry is a vampire who's about to change his mind.
It's so weird to be back in the fandom and realize nobody is active anymore... the end of an era (also, the fandom somehow has worst takes now than before ???). I'll miss the songs analysis and theorizing the most but maybe it's time to stuck to fics !
What do you think of Harry's album ? Are you seeing him ? 🤍
I thought it was fine, but it's not my favorite. I preferred his earlier solo music. I am not going to see him because it's not easy for me to get to NYC, especially with my new job. I'll be seeing Louis in July though!

Here are some amazing bottom Louis fics that were posted or completed during the month of April. We really hope you enjoy this list. Happy reading!
1) Parallels in Silk | Not Rated | 2,379 words
Soft caramel hair, bright blue eyes that speak of a brewing storm, and a permanent smirk inch onto golden skin where freckles adorn the high points of his cheekbones. Honeysuckle and the sweetest cherries fill Harry’s lungs in quick succession.
Those were the first things Harry noticed when he accepted the leash and followed where it was attached.
Or, Harry was tasked with keeping an eye on another Dom’s sub.
2) Blessed Are The Shapeshifters | General Audiences | 2,718 words
Inspired by the prompt from writing-prompt-s:
“No weapon forged by human hands can harm m- OW, did you just hit me with a stick??”
3) (The Things We Say) In the Heat of the Night | Explicit | 4,244 words
Louis cleared his throat, and Harry looked up at him, his eyes wide.
“So?” Louis greeted. “Come here.”
Harry stood and took a step forward. Louis’ lips turned down at the corners, and Harry stilled.
“Not like that,” Louis muttered. “Get on your knees.”
A low flush spread from Harry’s chest to his neck while he did as he was told, and dropped fluidly to his knees. He didn’t need the instruction as he lowered his upper half down, his weight held on his hands that pressed against the floor.
“There you go, daddy,” Louis cooed. “Now you can come to me.”
4) Blackbird | Teen & Up | 6,007 words
“I am an omega with rights, I’ll have you know,” he continued.
Sighing, Harry rubbed his temples, turning back around. “Does that right include scaring unsuspecting people?” he asked, sneering a little bit, mindlessly going through the motions of finding the exit.
“But I want you!” The omega elongated his response, now sounding like he definitely wasn’t used to being denied anything in his life.
5) I Get Wet At The Thought Of You | Explicit | 7,994 words
Harry is a virgin and his friends convince him to download a dating app. Louis just wants a good knot.
Fate has something different in store for them.
6) Teach Me | Mature | 8,603 words
At Eddings Secondary School, Louis is the coach and phys-ed teacher. Harry is the biology teacher, that desperately needs some help from a trainer.
Or the one where the coach helps the biology teacher learn to love himself.
7) Notice It | Explicit | 12,136 words
He pushes his way into the room, roughly. Starts with his pants while facing the wall. “This is a pity fuck,” he clarifies.
“Yeah,” he hears Louis say, door creaking shut behind them. “But for which one of us?”
Harry Styles is the Captain of the New York Yankees. One of his players is not performing.
8) Lilacs In The Mud | Mature | 17,944 words
This story occurs in the middle of the gothic old age, the only thing that prevails in this harsh world are the flowers in the mud, guarded by a monster more human than beast, a passionate caregiver full of devoted obsession.
9) Safe Space | Teens & Up | 22,999 words
Louis is married, bonded to someone else. But that doesn’t mean that Harry would ever love him less.
10) My Life For Yours | Explicit | 26,669 words
Harry didn't expect his night to turn out this way. He expected to go home and spend their Anniversary with the love of his life, he certainly didn't expect the love of his life to stab someone on their porch and then be arrested for murder.
And what more?
Harry really, really didn't expect to be send back in time again and again after that night.
What the hell is happening? And more importantly... Can he save Louis before it really is too late?
12) Bluest Flame | Explicit | 66,722 words
Love isn’t science.
It’s unpredictable, irrational and impossible to control.
You can’t choose who you fall for.
And you can’t force love where it doesn’t belong.
Right?
Or the one where Louis and Harry find out just how wrong that is.
12) This Time I'm Ready to Run | Explicit | 117,136words
Harry Styles was a world-class marathon runner - until a car crash shattered his leg, his future, and any will to keep going.
Louis is a physiotherapist working with elite footballers, and Gemma Styles’ last hope. She’s paying him well to move in with her brother for the off-season. It’s temporary. It’s clinical.
Harry hates him. Louis isn’t thrilled either. But he’s not easily pushed away. He wasn’t prepared for the anger, the walls, or the grief - but he stays.
And slowly, painfully, they stop being strangers. Then they stop being enemies and become something like friends. Or something else entirely.
It’s slow. It’s brutal. It’s not what either of them expected.
But maybe, just maybe, this time… Harry’s ready to run.
13) You Made the Lonely Days Sing | Explicit | 121,502 words
The captain looked back at Louis, and for a second their eyes met. Up close, his were an even colder green than they had seemed from across the deck, sharp and unreadable beneath the crossing scar. Louis had just enough time to think that trying to look harmless was probably worth the effort.
Then the captain said, flat as anything, “Throw him overboard.”
The words hit Louis like a blow and for a heartbeat, nothing happened. The crew stood shocked in the sudden quiet, boots shifting uneasily against the wet planks.
“EXCUSE ME?!” Louis snapped, outrage shooting through him so fast it burned straight past caution.
14) The Secret Intelligence Service | Mature | 233,564 words
Louis Tomlinson's life has been defined by pain. As far back as he can remember, he has belonged to The Right Arm, a ruthless organization of hired killers. Trained, controlled, and used as a weapon, Louis has been forced to commit acts he never chose, carrying the weight of every job he's survived. Harry Styles is an undercover operative with the Secret Intelligence Service, tasked with dismantling The Right Arm from the inside. To bring the organization down, Harry infiltrates Louis' crew and earns their trust, step by step. But the closer he gets, the more the mission blurs: Louis isn't like the other men, and Harry begins to see the person behind the violence. As loyalties fracture and the danger closes in, Harry must decide what matters more: completing his assignment, or saving the man The Right Arm has never let be free.
15) For My Bones Have Found A Place | Explicit | 245,659 words
Where retired Hollywood star Louis Tomlinson meets single parent Harry who has had the biggest crush on him since forever.

1) Lucid Dream | Not Rated | 3,597 words
"I’d rather face danger head-on than live "safe" this way, trapped" Louis explodes. "I don't need you!"
Harry pales. "You don't need me…?" he murmurs. "Fine. What do you need? You can tell me. We can go back to Doncaster, if that's what you want. If you want to go back to the past, we'll rebuild our old house and live together. And if a house isn't enough, I'll build an entire maze for you." Harry swallows hard, his green eyes flashing with danger and vulnerability at the same time. "I'll decorate it with everything you've ever wanted. It will be the most beautiful and stunning garden you've ever seen. No one will ever be able to find you again." He takes a deep breath. "I don't know how to exist without protecting you, Louis..."
(Inspired by the game Love and Deepspace)
2) I Bet You Wanna Feel Me Too | Explicit | 4,007 words
Note: The main pairing is Louis/Harry Styles/Nicholas Chavez
Where Louis can't stop thinking about the two popular new alphas and won't stop until he has them both inside his legs
3) Teach Me | Mature | 4,032words
At Eddings Secondary School, Louis is the coach and phys-ed teacher. Harry is the biology teacher, that desperately needs some help from a trainer.
4) Where Else Would I Be? | Not Rated | 45,635 words
Louis wasn’t well lately. Harry was sure about that, even though Louis wouldn’t talk about it. Something was wrong with his best friend and Harry really wanted to figure out what it was. But you are helpless if the one you worry about is constantly distancing themselves from you until they are all alone. And everyone knows that bad things can happen, when you are alone. Especially when you don’t really care about yourself.
5) Full Of You | Explicit | 48,683 words
“Are you going to be good for me?” Harry murmurs, his voice low and smooth, looking the omega up and down openly. Assessing.
“I don’t know, are you able to fuck me without sounding like a cheap porno?” Louis snaps back, blue eyes glaring.
-
Louis despises all alphas. Harry fucks omegas for a living. They definitely aren't made for each other, no matter what their scents suggest.
6) Flesh | Explicit | 94,127 words
Love doesn't come easy. Never has.
But lust? Lust slips in like smoke, like second nature.
And Harry Styles has never been one to resist.
At London's most infamous underground club-he finds himself drawn to the boy with blue eyes and a mouth made for trouble.
A game begins. A chase. A pull neither of them can shake.
What starts with a glance might just ruin them both.
Or maybe, for once, it'll make them whole.
7) Vital Signs | Mature| 175,996 words
Louis Tomlinson is twenty, brilliant, reckless, and hopelessly drawn to the one man he shouldn’t want.
Harry Styles is forty-two, his paramed professor, unhappily married and trying very, very hard to pretend he doesn’t notice the way Louis looks at him.
Between night shifts, trauma bays, and the kind of moments you don’t walk away from unchanged, the lines between student and mentor begin to blur — neither of them can pretend they don’t see it anymore.
The tension builds to boiling point — Until one day, it snaps.

“Let me touch you, sweetheart.” Louis moaned when Harry gently slid him on the bed, “You touch me, all the time.” He breathes, “Spread.” Harry lowly commands, Louis whimpers obeying him, the man slides in between, “So commanding.” Louis whispers, “Sweetheart, tell me.” He whispers back, he was caressing Louis’ cheeks now, “Beautiful Angel.”
5) Paper Rings | Explicit | 138,915 words

Hi Emma ! You kind of disappeared for some time now and I just hope you're doing well !
So sorry I missed this! I'm still signing in every day and I loosely keep up with everything that Louis is doing, but I just don't have a lot of energy to keep up with my blog anymore. 😭 I got behind and then was too overwhelmed to catch up. I've started a new job and am very busy at the moment, but I will probably get back to reblogging a few things here and there soon. And don't worry - I LOVE Louis' new album and have been listening to it every day.
I'm slightly more active on Twitter, but I do still pop up on here daily (I think your ask got slightly buried under side blog asks or I would've replied to it right away), so I'm here if ya ever need me. 🥹🩷

A sensual melody reached the older man's ears, still lost in the cloud of exhaustion. The girl walked sensually to the rhythm of the music and sat down on her husband's lap. She began to move her hips softly, placing her hands on the man's broad shoulders.
"Are you tired, darling? Your wife is going to make you feel very good," she whispered in his ear. Her husband just looked at her seriously without saying a word, his pupils dilated as he smoked and placed his tattooed arm on the back of the sofa.

“I love Christmas,” she said finally.
Harry kissed Louis's head gently, breathing in his scent of cinnamon and vanilla, and spoke softly, as if sharing a secret with the fire.
“Me too,” murmured the curly-haired man. “Especially because it was the day the Moon blessed us again... and this time, with the birth of your beautiful mother.”
Louis let out an embarrassed laugh and looked down.
The little girl looked up, surprised.
“Is that why it's so special?” she asked. “Because Mom was born on that day?”
“Yes,” Harry replied, resting his forehead on Louis's temple. “That's why the pack says the Moon Goddess left a little piece of her light in him.”

10) Indulgent Scheme | Mature | 7,954 words
Stealthily, Louis approached, bare feet silent against the cold floor. With a mischievous smile on his lips, he reached out and pulled the bow of Harry's apron.
"Hey—" Harry caught the fabric before it could fall, turning around with an amused look. "Someone said 'just five more minutes' half an hour ago." He turned completely, and the movement revealed a curious mark on his chest: the impression of a bite, reddish and sharp, right above the heart. Louis felt his face heat up seeing it.
"So..." Harry arched an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on his lips. "Is the one who woke up wearing my shirt going to play dumb now?" Louis didn't respond with words.
Instead, he took another step forward and wrapped his arms around his waist, pressing his body against his. Harry let out a short sigh, trying to maintain focus on the frying pan, but the omega's presence was a powerful distraction — especially when Louis began to softly run his hands over his shoulders, tracing some of the marks he had left.
(Inspired by the game Love and Deepspace)
