I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, THIS IS A DEFINITE MUST READ. @evelynegrey @genderqueerharrystyles 

oneshot, 29336 words, angst, trans character, trigger warning: implied self-harm, implied passive suicide attempt, internalized homophobia and transphobia, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Summary:

Harry rises carefully, moving to where Lou's standing on the other side of the couch, watching him guardedly. It's such a delicate moment, with so much at stake even if Harry's not sure what, if it's a joke or something a lot deeper. He wants to believe it's the latter, so he reaches out, brushing a few flecks of mascara from the corner of Lou's eye. "It's a little smudged..." he says, voice breathless as he goes on to even out the blusher, just below Lou's cheekbone. "There," he whispers. "Perfect."

AU where everyone lives in Doncaster, Liam means well, Zayn knows the best dealers in town, Niall is unphased and Lou is everything at once. Harry just tries to keep up.

probably one of the best things I’ve ever read, I’m serious

oneshot, 21315 words, hate to love, minor Harry Styles/Nick Grimshaw, Nick Grimshaw/Louis Tomlinson

Summary:

Because Nick pissed him off and they were so so different, and Nick was annoying and he pissed Louis off and a whole other load of logical and understandable reasons, namely that, he pissed Louis off.

And he was Harry’s. Number fucking one on top of the list- Nick was Harry’s.

(Louis gets nightmares. Harry and Nick are having sex. It's not that Louis wants to have sex with Nick, it's just, he wants to have sex with Nick)

oneshot, 14096 words, fluff, light smut, angst, aromantic character, terminal illness, trigger warning: implied/referenced eating disorder, drug use, suicide; suicidal thoughts, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, side Zayn Malik/Niall Horan

Summary:

“That’s weird,” Harry straightens, childhood tar-thick in his chest. “I would think most people try to forget.”

“I think people make memories into ghosts,” he fixes his hair, at home in his bones, unaware, like he isn’t casting spells by licking his lips. “I think it’s easier that way, to put the blame somewhere else. But we’re our own ghosts,” Louis looks up at him, a storm gathering in his pupil. “We haunt ourselves.”

I CRY EVERYDAY BC OF THIS FIC FUCKKKKKK

oneshot, 23135 words, makeup!au kinda, Friends to lovers, non binary character, asexual character, trigger warning: someone gets accidentally misgendered once, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Summary:

““Me watching makeup tutorials.” His voice is shaking. He wants to deny it, but Harry knows everything and stores the information away for perusal afterwards. “It doesn’t mean anything.”

Harry nods, slowly, like he doesn’t want to scare him away.

“It’s okay if it does mean something, though,” he begins, smooth and gentle, mouth resting against the line of Louis’s jaw. It’s comforting in a way it wouldn’t be with anyone else. “You know that, right?”

or; Louis falls down the rabbit hole of makeup, and Harry’s always there to catch him.”

this :) is :) the :) first :) real :) fic :) I :) read :)

oneshot, 5209 words, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Summary:

“When he looks up, there’s a beautiful boy sticking his head out the window of the ice cream truck. He’s got a grin on his face, dimples etched into pale skin, and his hair is wild and curly, unruly from the humidity. He flicks his gaze to Louis, green eyes like grassy open fields staring back at him. He’s the epitome of a Disney character come to life, and though he’s only said a few words, Louis is already smitten.

Or the AU where Harry is the ice cream man and Louis is destined to melt.”

oneshot, 9156 words, SIZE DIFFERENCE, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Summary:

“Harry’s perception of Louis begins to change.

It strikes him now, oddly, that he’s never before noticed the height of Louis’ shoulders compared to his own, and how much smaller Louis actually is. He frowns, confused at himself, and shakes his head.”

oneshot, 6044 words, smut but also some mild hurt/comfort and feelings, bigender/genderfluid character, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne 

Summary: 

““Oh, Zayn,” Liam half-groans, half-coos. “Don’t be upset, babe. I’m just playing.” Liam leans forward to place the laptop onto the coffee table with one arm, while reaching toward Zayn with the other, hand circling Zayn’s wrist, gently tugging to get Zayn to move into Liam’s waiting arms for a cuddle. Except, Zayn can’t move. He’s frozen, looking at the laptop – his laptop – sitting open on the last page he’d visited.

He feels his heart rate pick up as he stares at the screen, picture of a busty woman in lacy lingerie featured prominently on the webpage next to the sizing, pricing, and colour options for the bra and panties she’s wearing.

–

Or, Liam discovers Zayn’s interest in women’s underclothes, and helps Zayn explore a side of himself that he’s been making a conscious effort to ignore.”
