i'll stop the world and melt with you by wankerville Liam burst into laughter, startling Louis from his internal battle over whether or not salad had feelings, letting his eyes trail to where Niall tried to sneakily steal one of his pickles. He pretended not to notice though, because he took the one on top of his salad deactivating his troubled thoughts of “To Be or Not To Be: Why Pickles aren't in Omelettes.” But that was also when he caught a quick glimpse and saw him and it was like everything went quiet. Every single bad reincarnation of Shakespeare acts in his mind faded away and he forgot what the word pickle even meant, and for once everything was just- quiet.or high school au where louis has ADD and harry is the only one that can ease his restlessness.

Louis is famous, Harry has no idea, communication issues are rampant and fluffy pining ensues.

head over heels in the moment by twinks Harry realizes he’s completely, absolutely head over heels for Louis once he prints out exactly twenty eight valentine cards while listening to an instrumental version of “Lovebug” by the Jonas Brothers....or, cutesy Valentine’s Day fic where Harry shoves valentine cards into Louis’ locker. They may or may not be sexual.

H, I doubt Louis wants to hear about how -”“It’s alright,” Louis cuts in, resting a hand on Gemma’s wrist. He likes Harry, likes his enthusiasm and yearning for something that holds such a vital place in Louis’ heart. “I understand. Hey.” He kicks out so he can nudge Harry’s shin with his socked toes. “Come with me next time, Curly. I’ll make sure you get an authentic tour.”Harry’s answering smile is radiant, and Louis thinks their mums might be way off base in trying to set him and Gemma up, but he wouldn’t mind getting to know Harry a bit better.

take my hand (and my heart and soul) by bananasandboots
Pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson
Words: 45k
Rating: Mature
Summary:
Harry feels nauseous when he opens his mouth. “Hey. Um, hi. It’s me,” he mumbles before realizing with a jolt that Louis might not have his number anymore. “It’s Harry… Styles,” he tacks on, screwing his eyes shut and pinching the bridge of his nose. This was a terrible idea.
There’s silence on the other end for a long time. Harry understands. He shouldn’t have called. He tries not to let the static swallow him whole.
“I – yeah. Hi,” Louis finally answers, slowly, awkwardly. “I um. Sorry. I heard about your accident. You’re alright?”
Or, the one where Harry hasn’t spoken to his best friend in sixteen months and can’t remember why.
electing strange perfections by lightofathousandstars
Back for the summer from university, 19-year-old Louis is faced with a massive problem: their new gardener is quite possibly the most gorgeous man he's ever met. Over the course of the summer, Louis and a 25-year-old Harry will learn that love can be found where you least expect it.
breathing in your dust by togetherwecouldbealright
“Must be fate,” Harry jokes, rolling his eyes and Louis’ face softens as he nods in agreement.
"Well Harry, we are soulmates after all,” Louis reminds as if he thinks Harry might’ve forgotten, even as his hand is still stuck to the wall.
AU where Harry doesn’t believe in soulmates despite living in a world where soulmates and fate are key words. Louis is just a boy he meets but at the same time, he’s so much more.
Harry is a butterfly with broken wings. Louis is a beam of sunlight blasting through the window. AU where the boys are cottage neighbours, Louis develops an obsession with the mysterious boy next door, and the end of summer is really just the start of everything else.
pep talk turned into a pep rally by sarcasticfluentry
“Wait a second,” Harry says slowly. The four of them turn to look at Harry, who seems to be working through a very difficult concept in his head. “Why have we never had a foursome before?”
“Wait a second, I don’t appreciate being left out of this,” Niall pipes up. “If you’re all gonna be getting off together, I want in.”
...or, two orgies on the South American leg of the WWA tour, one Louis-centric and one Zayn-centric.
have yourself a merry little christmas by hilourry
“Have you been a good boy this year, Louis?” Harry mumbles into Louis’ neck, leaving a big fat bruise there for everyone to see. The girls are going to make snarky comments about this tomorrow, Louis thinks.
“I tried to be, I really did, but I just love being naughty. I couldn’t help myself, I hope I don’t get coal in my stocking,” Louis pouts, starting to nip on Harry’s jaw.
“Mm, well, Santa sent me here to punish you,” Harry smirks, gripping Louis’ thighs.
or
Louis and Harry are married with two kids and another on the way. They celebrate Christmas as a family.
every time i run, i keep on falling on you by hazmesentir
Shameless fluffy Christmas fic.
AU. After being best friends for 8 years, Harry moves to LA. It takes the keen observations of all of Louis' friends to realise the one thing he really wants for Christmas is Harry.
"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."
The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.
Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)
after the first bottle and half of the second, harry picks up louis’ guitar and plays it in that careful way he always does because he’s still not confident with instruments. it’s a song he wrote a year ago about someone he was fucking or wanted to fuck, louis never asked. it’s not explicit, but it doesn’t have to be with harry’s voice and the way his mouth moves around the lyrics. louis is not drunk enough to listen to this song in the quiet of their apartment at midnight, so he picks up the cigarettes and shakes the pack in harry’s direction.
“you hate this song,” is harry’s response. “why?”
(this is an alternate universe where the boys are in a punk band instead of a boy band and there is pining and lots of self-indulgent music talk.)
you think fashion is your friend, my friend (fashion is danger) by mediawhore
"Louis has one rule, and one rule only, that he simply refuses to break. He forbids himself to be attracted to anyone he might work with. No wanking to models who might wear his clothes! It’s hardly fair, considering he spends 95% of his time working with the most attractive men on the planet, but his career is more important. Besides, in Louis’ experience, it always leads to disaster. Harry Styles makes respecting the rule really damn hard though and Louis is not quite sure why."
the one where Louis is a famous British designer and Harry is the clumsy, most likely straight model that makes his heart race.
