this town’s just an ocean now (31k)

written for @finelineficfest

“I have really great friends. Do you remember Louis? You guys were always hanging out when you were growing up.” Harry remembers Louis. Harry remembers Louis. Suddenly, his throat feels way too dry, despite the ice cream he keeps licking at. He chokes a little on a chocolate chip before saying, “I, uh. I remember Louis.” Her face brightens. “We have dinner every Sunday. He owns the house now. His parents moved further north, and he wanted to stay here, so they just gave it over. Now if you want to worry about someone being lonely, that’s who I worry about.”

inspired by watermelon sugar, featuring picnics on the beach and boys being dumb

"For me, the song's about like, freedom and self-reflection and self-discovery. A couple of things that I'd kind of thought about and wrestled with over the last couple of years. The song is about me accepting those things." -Harry Styles on Lights Up

When Harry wakes up after another blacked out night to find a cold bed and a partially empty closet, his whole word come collapsing down around him, because his whole world has left.

There’s always been a part of Harry that’s a little bit different. As a child he sees how to hide it– knows he has to, sometimes –though the reason isn’t always clear. As he gets older, the lines blur, and while Harry is used to the hiding… he doesn’t want to be anymore.

When they emerge into a new part of themselves, Harry is truly allowed to spread her wings.

Many thanks to the mod, @runaway-train-works, for putting this fest on!! The works have been amazing and I am so happy to be part of this collection. 

as a content warning, this AU features genderfluid Harry. If that upsets or offends you in any way, please consider skipping this fic.

Canyon Moon by beautifully_cyan 

for @finelineficfest

9,175 words 

“Louis. Louis my love, wake up,” Harry whispered in the darkness, lightly shaking his husband’s shoulder. After 2 minutes of lightly shaking and no response, Harry starts peppering little kisses all over his face. It takes another minute, but Louis is smiling so Harry knows he’s awake. “Lou you don’t have to fully wake up, but I need you to get in the car. You can immediately go back to sleep.”

“Why am I getting in the car at 2 in the morning Harold?”

“It’s actually 4 in the morning, but it’s a surprise.”

“4 A.M. doesn’t exist, we’ve talked about this,” Louis mumbles into the darkness of their room.

or the one where Harry takes Louis on a trip and writes a song about it

title: the anticipation of knowing you author: sweetrevenge / @cocoalou words: 13,028 rating: explicit

Hello Neighbor!

Just wanted to let you know that you were having sex so loud and scarily I called our building manager and security officer because I thought you were hurt.

P.S. I sent them away when I heard you yell ‘cock’. I’m sorry that I heard that, but I wanted you to know in case they stopped by to check on you or something.

Sorry!

Your neighbor Louis Tomlinson in apartment #306

After Louis overhears his next door neighbor having sex, he doesn’t really expect anything but awkward hallway encounters to come from it. Instead, he’s surprised to find himself in a whirlwind pen pal relationship with the sweet, albeit loud, baker next door.

Written for the @finelineficfest and inspired by “Treat People With Kindness” and loosely based on this amazing post.

At Risk, I Fold by clare328/@bearmustard​, E, 15.1k

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Canon Compliant, Angst, Emotional Hurt/Comfort

2015 is a stream of hotel rooms and whisky on the rocks, tired glances and touching hands under tables. It’s the bears and the bees under a rainbow sky, and Harry and Louis have to figure out how to grow up together, instead of apart.

Based on the song Fine Line.

harry’s first memory, the very first one that plays on repeat for hours on end, he’s falling from a tree.

don’t call me baby again

What if I’m someone you won’t talk about?

Written for the @finelineficfest​ thank u @fallinglikethis​ for all your efforts. U rock. 

All Harry really remembers vividly of their last moments together was when he’d kissed Louis after dropping him off at home and Louis telling him he couldn’t go with him to Leeds because he had work to do. He wonders if Louis remembers all that when they inevitably meet since he’s going to go and return his phone to him.

You see, Harry and Louis were childhood sweethearts who lost touch when Harry shot to fame and became part of the biggest rock band in the world. They never really broke up and seeing Louis again makes Harry want to dredge up the past but what happens when Harry realizes that his first flame never died? What happens when he finds himself falling for the boy he never really fell out of love with? What happens when Harry finds himself falling for those blue eyes allover again?

We Can Find a Place to Feel Good by yeah_alright

Larry (8k, T)

He and Louis barely talk the rest of the dance, a few words here and there when they’re surrounded by their friends but mostly they just exchange silent glances and knowing smiles that fill Harry’s stomach with butterflies and his veins with fizzy soda and his brain with insistent chants of “more more more” and “now now now.”

And Harry does want more Louis, and now. But he’s also pretty sure Louis feels the same way. So he remembers what Miss Ross sang to them just a little while ago, and makes peace with the fact that they’ll just have to wait.

He can do that.

He can wait for Louis.

*

14-year-old Harry is ecstatic to finally be old enough to experience the time-honored tradition of school dances. But with each year that passes and each dance he attends, he’s realizing they’re not all he used to hope they’d be. Especially when he can’t actually dance with the person he most wants to.

Maybe he and Louis can figure out their own ways to keep dancing, anyway.

A 1960s AU inspired by “Treat People With Kindness”
