Walk That Mile by purpledaisy | 149k | Explicit
Harry stares at him, the line of his jaw standing out scarily. āI wanted to get the most out of this trip so I planned it carefully.ā His voice is low and steady and somehow thatās worse than when he was yelling. āSo far, youāve put your sticky fingers on everything Iāve tried to do.ā
āSticky fingers?ā Louis repeats, offended. āAre you saying itās my fault you got stung by a bee? Had you been alone you would have gotten halfway to the Dotty Diner and ran the car off the road because of an allergic reaction, so donāt go blaming me.ā
āPolk-A-Dot Drive In,ā Harry spits before getting out of the car. He slams the door shut with a deafening reverb and Louis rolls his eyes.- A Route 66 AU where falling in love was never part of the plan.
Unbelievers by isthatyoularry | 136k | Explicit
Itās Louisā senior year, and heās dead set on doing it right. However, along with his pair of cleats, a healthy dose of sarcasm and his ridiculous best friend, heās also got a complicated family, a terrifyingly uncertain future, and a mortal enemy making his life just that much worse. Mortal enemies āwith benefitsā was not exactly the plan.
Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely arenāt friends, and football is everything.

Louis narrows his eyes at Harry. āWhat that supposed to be a fucking joke?ā
Harry narrows his eyes right back. āIt was a good joke.ā
Louis rolls his eyes. āJokes require laughter, Curls.ā Louis glances down at Harryās thighs again, Christ. āYour pants must be so tight theyāre restricting airflow to your brain.ā
Harry wipes a bead of sweat off his forehead. āPretty sure yoga is supposed to increase airflow, blood flow, and all that,ā he responds dryly, finally jumpstarting himself and walking away from Louis towards his own bedroom.
Louis canāt help but stare at his broad back, still sheen with drying sweat, and his perky bum in the tight yoga pants.
...Or, the one where Harry and Louis are unlikely uni flatmates who definitely don't like each other and definitely won't fall in love (even if Liam and Niall think otherwise).
Our Lives, Non-Fiction by indiaalphawhiskey | 113k | Explicit
Heralded as the next Neil Gaiman, Louis Tomlinson does not appreciate being told that his very serious novel is in dire need of a PR boost. Even worse, that it comes in the form of a joint book tour with the UKās #1 online romance-writing sensation Marcel Styles. Already turbulent at best, their partnership takes a drastic turn when, overly stressed about his looming deadline, Marcel accidentally blurts out a secret: though heās famed for his scorching hot literary love scenes, he is, actually, a virgin.
Convinced that the only way to rid himself of writerās block is to gain some experience, Marcel asks Louis, author-to-author, to sleep with him ā for Science. And of course Louis agrees because, well, what on Earth could possibly go wrong?
Or, a lesson in romance that proves that sometimes the best love stories arenāt always by the book.
Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can't Lose by dolce_piccante | 112k | Mature
American Uni AU. Harry Styles is a frat boy football star from the wealthy Styles Family athletic dynasty. A celebrity among football fans, he knows how to play, he knows how to party, and he knows how to fuck (all of which is well known among his legion of admirers).
Louis Tomlinson is a student and an athlete, but his similarities to Harry end there. Intelligent, focused, independent, and completely uninterested in Harryās charms, Louis is an anomaly in a world ruled by football.
A bet about the pair, who might be more similar than they originally thought, brings them together. Shakespeare, ballet, Disney, football, library chats, running, accidental spooning, Daredevil and Dominoās Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end?

One determined Irishman, a massive publicity stunt and two begrudging exes are all it takes to bring One Direction back to life and maybe, just maybe, Harry and Louis' mangled love life too.
Or: Harry and Louis are forced to fake-date after an old video from when they were dating emerges.
The Sidelines by RedRidingStiles | 47k | Explicit
"Alright, I know you guys are the best of friends but I'd like you to do this for the rest of the team,ā Cowell says, making the rest of the team snicker. "So I want both of you to compliment each other." "I hate your trainers. I mean that in the nicest way possible. They're very...yellow," Louis says, arms crossed as he offers a fake close-lipped grin. "It's really nice of you to blow anyone you find slightly attractive," Harry replies, a sickening sweet smile on his lips. "Thank you, children, let me remind you this is a college hockey team. Try again," Coach says, completely unamused.
Or Harry and Louis play hockey for Penn state and can't stand one another, since they can't keep their hatred off the ice their coach and team do what they can to keep their hard earned spot in the playoffs and their two star players from killing each other
Wonderwall by AFangirlFantasy | 43k | General Audiences
Taking the sheet cluttered with times available for the next few weeks, Louis notices a pattern in the list. The name of the person Perrie had just mentioned: Harry Styles. Itās written at least seven times, and three of which are during timeframes Louis wants.
āWho the fuck is Harry Styles?ā
āYouāre about to find out,ā she answers, pointing over Louisā shoulder.
Or a Love/Hate College AU where Louis Tomlinson is the lead singer of The Rogue - the most popular band on campus - and Harry Styles is the talented Freshman unknowingly challenging all that.
All the Right Moves by cherrystreet | 32k | Explicit
This is the third game in a row that Harry has been distracted by the noisy boy in the stands, five rows back.
Thereās really no reason that he should feel compelled to stare into the audience as frequently as he is, but he canāt help it. This boy is a nuisance. And heās loud. Even from basketball court with nine other players running by him, shoes squeaking on the shiny hardwood floor, and thousands of cheering college students, Harry can hear this boy nearly shrieking, his laugh more like a cackle than anything.
Itās seriously obnoxious.
Nicotine by KrisStylinson | 32k | Explicit
"We're two different types of people, Liam. He likes sex and drugs, I like theater and tea. Trust me, we'd never date." Except they would, they do, and neither of them plans on letting go anytime soon.
"Just because you can get me hard doesn't mean I like you," Louis whispered. The fact was, he didn't like Harry right now, not at all. Not even a bit.
"Yeah, yeah," Harry murmured, his breath fanning over Louis' cock as he spoke. "You done telling me how much you hate me so I can suck you off?"
Like Candy In My Veins by littlelouishiccups | 31k | Explicit
āUmā¦ā Harry said slowly after a moment. āOkay. Thatās⦠this is⦠Let me get this straight.ā He lifted up a hand and swallowed. āYou told your family that you have a boyfriend⦠and my name was the first one you thought of?ā āHarry Potter was on TV, alright? It wasnāt that much of a stretch.ā Louis pinched the bridge of his nose. He couldnāt believe he was explaining himself to Harry fucking Styles. He couldnāt believe he was stooping this low. āForget it. Iām sorry I even thought about bringing you into this.ā
Harry snorted. āWhat? Did you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend or something?ā
(Basically the A/B/O, enemies to lovers, fake relationship, Christmas AU that nobody asked for.)
We're Like Bumper Cars by sincehewaseighteen | 31k | Explicit
āI have won, I won the final cross country. I win, Harry--ā
āWhoever gets to fucking nationals wins it, pretty boy,ā Harry teases. āYou havenāt won. Interhouse is nothing compared to nationals, or interstate. You havenāt even won interschool. You can dream all you fucking want that youāve won.ā
Louis becomes so ignorant he decides to no longer eye the boy taunting him. āTrophies prove it all, Styles.ā
āWhereās your trophy for biggest asshole?ā
āWhereās yours for winning cross country?ā
Harry growls before hooking his fingers in Louisā belt loops and bringing them together for a flat kiss.
Or the AU where Louis and Harry are rivals of the century and Cross Country competitors before things get complicated and they play pretend.

āShould we tell him?ā
When Lauren is met with everyone either nodding their heads or shrugging, she takes a deep breath. āI mean, I think itās pretty obvious by now.ā She stalls, sounding ominous and Louis doesnāt like it one bit.
āWhat is obvious by now?ā Louis asks. Heās starting getting anxious. āI swear to God, spit it out. Stop being so damn cryptic.ā

This time as his stomach rolls, thereās no doubt about it. Heās going to vomit. And if he does, itāll be on Louisā shoes, a nice little parting gift to go with the embarrassment heās caused the both of them. āIām gonna throw up,ā he says just as Louis turns to look at him, blue eyes swimming with shock and confusion, and asks, āIs that true?ā

He plans to work his way through the trip, eat his mom's cooking, and avoid everyone from his past for as long as possible. The only problem is best laid plans hardly ever go as intended.
