Set Sail With No Compass by zarah5 | M | 4778
Pirate AU. That’s it; that’s the summary.
A World Full of Shadows | E | 17979
When Harry Styles crashes back into Louis’ life after a year apart, he knows chaos is about to ensue. As they embark together on their quest for revenge against the most well known pirate hunter of all time, old feelings come creeping back and Louis must fight to control them.
There’s also the small matter of fact that the last time he saw Harry he abandoned him on an uninhabited island and left him for dead. Whoops?
why take your life when you give it so willingly by we_are_the_same | M | 19079
Well, at least things can’t get much worse.
Louis squints to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off of the waves. He doesn’t need to look around to know how dire his situation is: there is nothing but open sea around him, the remnants of his ship have long since disappeared, and by now it’s really not a matter of survival, but of what will kill him first. Will it be the wound on his abdomen, festering and throbbing? Will it be dehydration, made all the worse by the vast expanse of water surrounding him? Or perhaps it will be some sea animal, taking him for easy prey.
☠ ☠ ☠
When Louis Tomlinson, Captain of The Rogue, ends up adrift at sea after Captain Cowell attacks his ship, he is surprised to find his enemy, Captain Styles, coming to his rescue.
Sail Across Me by iwillpaintasongforlou | E | 21706
Harry is a prince that is about to be forced into marriage against his will and running away to sea seems like a much better option. Louis is the captain of the infamous pirate ship The Rogue and he has a thing for helping defenseless creatures. Especially when they’re as pretty as this one.
Lead Butterfly by LadyLondonderry | M | 32995
Dawn breaks on a cloudy bleak morning sky. Salty mist sprays up with the swell of the waves and buffets all of the lonely sleepy ships that drift as their sailors sleep on.
The Lady Charlotte dips and rises as it moves through the mist in the hopes of a clearly sky. The black flag flaps lazily from the highest mast, the emblem of the sparrow only a shadow from down on deck.
When the ship Harry lives on is boarded and overtaken by the crew of The Lady Charlotte, he thinks it’s going to be the end of the line. What he’s not expecting is to be brought onto the ship and provided safe passage. At least, as long as no one finds they’ve mistaken a common pirate for a noble.
In Your Black Heart (Is Where You’ll Find Me) by graceling_in_a_suit | E | 35954
Louis Tomlinson has been lying for five years. His crew sees him as a pirate, a Captain, and an alpha; only two of those are the truth. He was content to let the illusion go on forever, but an omega named Harry Styles just had to join his crew and get his warm-vanilla stink all over Louis’ best laid plans.
Or: the story of The Captain and The Carpenter.
Ace of Spades by allwaswell16 | E | 78342
Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic.
Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.
Resist Everything Except Temptation by Lis | E | 100116
The lethargic sound of heels clicking against wood resonated across the sea. Footsteps descended the staircase, every assured step creating a menacing aura as it grew closer. Perspiration gathered along Louis’ palms as the rhythmic sound halted in front of him.
“Captain,” Malik greeted.
Louis watched out of his peripheral as Malik’s boots shuffled back a few steps. Sweat matted the hair along the nape of Louis’ neck as he waited for something to happen. He felt as if a sharp blade was twisting his gut as the silence became tangible.
There was a metallic slide of a sword being pulled out of its sheath, the sound startling Louis out of his cocoon of sterile shock. His shoulders jumped as the tip of a blade flattened underneath his jaw. Louis’ distorted reflection stared back at him in the polished metal. Engraved rose petals twisted his appearance as they crawled up the length of the sword. The sword lifted and took Louis’ chin with it.
Standing in front of Louis was Captain Styles.
OR
The one where Louis is the commodore’s son who is forced to become a part of Harry’s crew when he is captured.
Swim In The Smoke by whoknows | E | 101778
“What about this, Captain?” Liam asks, nudging the boy kneeling between their feet with the toe of his boot. The boy hisses and swipes at him, slurring out something unintelligible around the makeshift gag Niall had to stuff in his mouth. He misses by a mile and tries again, just as ineffectively.
Harry looks down at him, at the way the sun streams over his face and shoulders, at the way the gag stretches his mouth, lips pink and chapped. He’s lithe and pretty, smudged all over with dirt. They had found him tied up below deck, mostly unconscious, next to a barrel full of gold. He’s clearly a prisoner, but there’s something familiar about him, something that niggles at Harry’s brain. Something he can’t quite put his finger on.
“Put him in my cabin,” Harry decides, turning back to deal with the rest of the loot. The boys screams out jumbled curse words at Harry’s back, muffled by the gag, and Harry can’t understand any of it.

I usually don't comment on stuff like this, because I don't make a habit of pissing on people's parades, but some of the recent things people are using as "proof" (of bbg ending, of Larry communicating with us, etc) are really wild stretches.
And, I usually wouldn't let it bother me; I understand that people (especially newer larries) are just having fun. But, as someone who's been here for a long time and who was part of the fandom when "proof" really meant concrete, vetted, and consistent evidence, I think people are unaware of how creating, spreading, and encouraging these unsubstantiated stretches and theories only support the extremely damaging stereotype that larries are unhinged and that we can (and will) make a connection out of anything, if it suits our narrative. (Which is, literally, what hets and shippers do, so yeah, forgive me if I don't want to be lumped in with that crowd.)
When we talk about Larry signaling (through clothing, warnings, selfies, the bears, etc), I think it's really, really important to remember the context in which those things happened.
They were both banging on the glass closet and seemingly seeding a potential coming out. They were at the height of their 'enemies' narrative and banned from being seen interacting, even while they were living out of each other's pockets. They were restricted by extremely abusive public identities (homophobe and serial womanizer) and contract clauses. They were making music and money for oppressive management and labels, none of which was directly contributing to or even hinting at potential personal career growth outside One Direction. They were signaling not only because it's all they had in terms of connecting with their community, but as an act of extreme rebellion and as a means of winning over even an inch of personal freedom and self-expression. (Remember, Niall wasn't even allowed to keep his natural hair color.)
And, while yes, Harry and Louis are still heavily closeted and being made to participate in (especially in Louis' case) extremely vile and abusive stunts, the context, in terms of their need to be seen (whether it be as their own people, queer people, or as a couple), has actually changed. In terms of self-expression, they're both making music that resonates with their creative identities, that they have some level of control over, and that contribute to them, personally, as individual artists. This means they actually have a personal stake in whether or not their projects do well because its a direct indicator of whether they get to continue making music that they love. Taking that into consideration, its unlikely that they want to overshadow the soul of those projects by slipping in all these little clues about their relationship into their promo. They’ve also (thanks mostly to the fans) found other ways of connecting to the queer community (which is an entirely different objective from wanting people to know about their relationship, specifically.)
To be really honest, I think they’ve actually made a collective decision to work harder to protect the privacy of their relationship, even behind the scenes, for many reasons. (Harris Reed’s recent interview, where he mentioned not really knowing Harry all that well, but alluded to leaving space for his queerness is what swayed me the most.) Being older, and having a lot more at stake (personally and professionally), makes me think they’re now (maybe in the last four or so years) very, very selective about who they share this part of their life with, one, because they each have a lot more to lose now if they’re outed, but also because their relationship is their top priority, and as Harry has said (and no doubt learned), a relationship has never benefitted from being made public (and we have to remember that even “within the confines of the industry” is still very, very “public”).
But, I digress. My point is, they've been together for twelve years, they've written hundreds upon hundreds of love songs to each other, they have their love story tattooed all over their skin. I get if you, individually, need to read into every little clue to prove to yourself they're still together, but don’t confuse that with them needing us to know it.
Again, I'm not saying this to piss on anyone's parade. I love a Larry proof to death and god knows I believe in the real ones with my whole chest (Still the One still gives me chills, Princess Park is fucking perfection, ‘waiting to wrap your legs around me' and ‘tired eyes are the death of me’ are tattooed on my heart). What I'm saying is people need to take context into consideration to keep from devaluing and trivializing actual, solid, vetted Larry proof and signaling because the only people and reputations these stretches and theories are hurting are Larries’.
Anon, if I wasn’t already married, I would marry you. THANK YOU.

🌴 I'll Fly Away by @juliusschmidt (E, 122k)
Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.

🌴 Jump Before We Fall by green_feelings / @greenfeelings (E, 113k)
Louis and Zayn's lives revolve around running a hotel by the sea, Harry is a student who wants a life far from home for just a little while, Niall doesn't know where life leads him and Liam thinks he has already found all purposes in his life.
🌴 somewhere in between lightning by jassy117, nauticalleeds, shiningdistractionwrites / @nauticalleeds (E, 99k)
A summer gone wrong (or very right) when, under Liam’s persuasion, Louis finds himself drunkenly applying for Love Island, and getting accepted. Oh, well. A summer spent on an island paradise couldn’t be all that bad, right?
Imagine his surprise when Louis arrives in sunny Majorca to find that his first love and ex-boyfriend, Harry, is another contestant, about to capture the hearts of everyone in the villa. Most normal people don’t have to face their ex on an otherwise straight TV show. Most normal people don’t fall for their ex again in front of the whole nation, either. Too bad this whole situation isn’t normal.
🌴 Have Love, Will Travel by @kingsofeverything (E, 97k)
Rather than spend the summer working at their desks, Louis and Harry are given the opportunity to crisscross the country together in a tiny camper, filming their adventures for a YouTube series.
It soon becomes obvious to their viewers that there’s something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.
🌴 Salt & Vinegar by elsi_bee / @elsi-bee (E, 77k)
Louis is ready to experience the local flavour during his next few weeks in beautiful Costa Rica. So why does the same British boy keep pulling him in?
🌴 Adore You by @isthatyoularry (M, 67k)
Against his wishes, Harry spends the holidays at his family’s summer estate, and is reluctantly pulled into a courtship he didn’t ask for. Harry doesn’t want to get married, but Louis does. They don’t fit, but then again they really, really do.
Vaguely set in the 1920’s. Headpieces, jazz, fashionable canes, and flapper dresses, and that.
🌴 If I Had Three Wishes (They'd All Be For You) by phdmama / @phd-mama (E, 66k)
When Harry Styles sets off for Provincetown, MA from his tiny hometown of Kerkhoven, MN, he’s facing an uncertain future. He’s always planned to leave, just...not like this. When he meets a gorgeous cabaret performer on his first night in P-town, little does he know how his life is about to change, or how much he has yet to learn. When they become more than just friends, Louis makes it clear he's not looking for anything serious, but at least, Harry consoles himself, they’ll always be friends. Over one extraordinary summer, Harry learns to navigate life on his own through a journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening. But when Harry’s past tragically reappears in his life, will his friendship with Louis be able to hold on?
🌴 Felt Nothing Like Home by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird (E, 61k)
The Bon Appétit YouTube channel has become an unexpected success partly due to the newest series developed by classically trained pastry chef Harry Styles who is intent on making the art of baking accessible to the masses. He and his best friend Louis Tomlinson have been with the magazine for years and they’re unused to the level of online fame they’ve suddenly achieved.
It’s easy for Harry to brush it off and ignore it (despite the teasing they get around the test kitchen) because Louis is happily married and has been for years—since just before they met for the first time. Or, it was easy to brush it off, but at the beginning of the summer, just as they’re leading up to the stress of planning the annual holiday issue, Louis and his husband decide to file for divorce.
🌴 We will find a way by Star_Henderson / @tommosgun (M, 54k)
Harry Styles, fresh out of Uni, his first job is assistant tour manager to 17 Black, join them on their tour of European Summer music festivals. Temptation takes over and Harry and Louis become a thing, but can Louis handle this thing? He's not even into guys so why is he in Harry's bed?
Some angst, lots of fluff and sex and music.
🌴 Full Moon Dreaming by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom (E, 43k)
Every month, Full Moon Dreaming reveals a person’s soulmate. Sometimes it’s an object or a place, or for the lucky ones, the love of their life.
Louis has given up hope of dreaming of a person, resigned to living a life devoid of that kind of all-consuming love for another and receiving the same in return.
But when a new neighbour descends on Louis’ beloved Hanson Bay and moves into the other beach house, could all that be about to change?
🌴 You're the Light by @allwaswell16 (E, 31k)
Before beginning a new graduate school in the fall, Louis Tomlinson decides to spend the summer working in Chicago as an editor’s assistant for the Chicago Tribune newspaper and staying with his old college roommate. What he finds on his first day of work is a tall, gorgeous editor named Harry who has the most beautiful green eyes he’s ever seen—and who also happens to be his new boss.
🌴 It's the Climb by @lululawrence (NR, 25k)
The Hannah Montana AU where Louis is a world famous punk rock singer with a stage name of William and Jay drags him back to Tennessee for the summer. In her attempt for Louis to get back to his roots, he just so happens to reconnect with Harry, and things never go quite as Louis expects them to.
🌴 That Summer Feelin' by dimpled_halo / @comebackassholes (E, 24k)
Harry's been looking forward to going back to work at Canyon Moon Camp all year. She's excited for a chance to have a peaceful summer where no one knows her. The last person she expects to see is Louis Tomlinson, the girl with the bad reputation at school back home. Harry is finally forced to face the feelings she's been avoiding since the first time she laid eyes on Louis. Good thing she has all summer to figure them out.
🌴 Strawberry Moon by @turnyourankle (E, 20k)
Harry really should have known better than to agree to one of Niall’s schemes. Especially one that involved Irish magic. Then again, how was he supposed to know he and Louis would end up swapping bodies?
🌴 Not Ready for This by @berzerkshires (E, 18k)
Louis and Harry are both single fathers and their children decide to go out on a date. The dads insist on meeting one another before they agree to let their child go out on this date.
🌴 Under the Moonlight by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (T, 15k)
Harry and Louis have been friends online for years. They've never met despite living only a few hours from one another. One fateful summer a silly little lie, a family vacation and an accidental meet up lead to a week of fake dating on Mallorca. All in all, a holiday Louis won't easily forget.
🌴 Don't delete the kisses by ishiplouis / @pocketsunshineharry (G, 12k)
Louis and Liam have a bucket list to complete during their last summer together and Harry is the too cute for his own good beautician that appears in Louis’ life at the right time.

There, in all his glory, is Louis Tomlinson.
🌴 In the Shallows by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 2k)
Fuck superyachts, Harry thinks.
Actually, fuck all yachts, he amends. He has no idea if this is a superyacht or a regular yacht. Or possibly just a really fancy speedboat. All he knows is that he’s hurtling along at a dizzying speed, pulled by a rope tangled around his tail.
I am never getting on a yacht, he thinks as he whizzes by a school of fish. Nothing good comes from a yacht.

🌙 ‘Cause Your Embrace Keeps Me Warmer by @scribblewrite (3k) | Explicit
Mates and soulmates are two completely different things. Mates are two people, an alpha and omega, who bond together while knotted together when the alpha bites a bond point on the omega’s body. It ties the two of them together forever or until one of them breaks the bond. It’s normally the step after marriage.
One could only hope to meet their soulmate.
Louis and Harry meet for the first time and, being soulmates, Louis’s rut and Harry’s heat are triggered.
Part 1 of At First Sight
🌙 You Could Be My Ever After by @scribblewrite (4k) | Explicit
His heat was gone, finally gone, and he’d been able to sleep for longer than thirty minute intervals. Not only that, but he was in his alpha’s arms. He felt warm, and safe, and protected, and he honest to god didn’t want to move.
Harry and Louis spend the next couple days together after they’ve bonded with Louis taking care of Harry and the two of them getting to know each other better.
Part 2 of At First Sight
🌙 Scent Partner by @daggerandrose / amomentoflove (4k) | Explicit
The name of the company was horrible: Scent Partner. Whoever was on the marketing team should be fired immediately for green-lighting that name. But the instructions were simple.
Alphas wear a shirt for three days and nights. The shirt gets sent to omegas nearing their heats to pick the alpha who smells the best to them. The company notifies the alpha and gives them the opportunity to say no. If both parties agree, they meet at a heat room for the omega’s heat. Everything is safe and consensual.
🌙 Baby, Sweat is Guaranteed by @sailingships (5k) | Explicit
“You remember the rules, yes, Darling?” Presently, Harry didn’t give any real shit as to
what the rules were, or to anything other than the burning ache for that matter. “Harry,”
Louis demanded after moments of silence.
“Yes, I remember the rules; no touching and no getting off without you. But Louis-”
“Rules are rules, love. See you tomorrow and sleep well.”
The problem was this: Harry wasn’t entirely sure he could hold off until tomorrow and if he did, he might just die before Louis could get to him.
Alternatively the one where Harry forgets a few doses of his suppressants and, consequently, goes into an unexpected heat at the Eagles concert whilst fulfilling publicity duties with Kendall Jenner. An entire afternoon of sex ensues and Harry just wants Louis to stay. (Inspired by a prompt from underpressure for the HL Summer Fic Exchange and several late night, rather x-rated, wanderings of my mind.)
🌙 The Only One (when it’s said and done) by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (6k) | Teen And Up Audiences
Louis Tomlinson, alpha, twenty nine years old, is head of the Tomlinson pack.
He’s unbonded, and happily so. A trip to the neighbouring Arthur pack certainly isn’t going to change that.
🌙No One Likes to be Alone by @lululawrence (6k) | Not Rated
Harry was a full-on fucking failure.
Letting out a whimper, Harry pressed his hands to his face as he finally allowed himself to cry. After a few sobs, he realized that something soft was pressed to his face, catching his tears instead of his hands. Harry pulled it away to see what it was and saw it was one of his sister’s shirts.
Shaking his head, he turned and placed it very specifically right where he usually tucked himself up against the wall. As he carefully shifted the shirt so he could see the faded image of Britney Spears looking out at him, Harry was overcome with a need he had only ever felt once before.
He needed to nest.

🌙 The Bond That Can’t Be Broken by @louisgrindsonharry (10k) | MatureLouis’ an alpha and Harry’s an omega. They never really stood a chance.
🌙 Sigh for Sigh by @logogram (10k) | Explicit
When his father’s sudden illness forces Harry to get married in a hurry, he’s delighted that Lord Louis Tomlinson is the one who makes him an offer. Being married to Louis is just as wonderful as he imagined, except for one thing– they haven’t mated yet.
Or the one where they’re both idiots, Harry’s afraid to say what he’s thinking, and Louis’s just trying to be honorable.
🌙 only guilty of loving you by @sweetrevenge (22k) | Mature
After Harry gets set up with his co-worker’s alpha friend Louis, he’s expecting some pleasant conversation, free dinner, and maybe a new friend. What he doesn’t expect, however, is that Louis’ arrival in his life begins a life of crime Harry never knew he had in him.
A You’ve Got Mail!AU with a twist.
🌙 Is it a sign? by @greenblueish / bluegreenish (25k) | Explicit
“Also, I didn’t mean it literally,” Harry continues his rambling, gesticulating to support his point. “You don’t owe me a beer and I surely don’t expect you to buy me anything, it was just to start a conversation but you’re obviously not interested in that. Which, again, maybe next time an omega, or anyone really, approaches you, you could convey -”
To Harry’s surprise, he’s interrupted by the handsome stranger, who’s been weirdly fixated on his lips the whole time. What a creep!
“You speak so fast, I can’t read your lips like this.”
What? Harry’s frown deepens and he just stares at the man, waiting for him to explain. Because why the hell would he need to read Harry’s lips? They’re not in some detective movie.
The man rolls his eyes at Harry’s obvious lack of understanding.
“I’m deaf,” he huffs and points to his ear.
And oh. Yikes. That’s kind of embarrassing.
or, the one where Harry meets a certain handsome alpha at his sister's wedding and learns that speaking verbally doesn't have to be the only means of communication.
🌙 I Sail With You by @afangirlfantasy (35k) | Teen And Up Audiences
Against his wishes, Omega Prince Harry Styles is arranged to mate with someone he doesn’t love, much less knows. Though he pleaded to his parents incessantly, they not only refuse to comply but force him to depart on a ship days later. Harry prays for fate to step in, to change what’s to come, however, the answer he is given is not exactly in the form he had hoped.
Enter Will Tommo – deadliest pirate captain of all seven seas.
Harry Styles has only three wishes when he leaves River Dane Manor to go to Town for his first season: that his sister has rented a townhouse that will provide him as many of the comforts of the country life he has grown accustomed to as possible, that he will not trip and fall when he is presented to Her Majesty the Queen, and that he will enter matrimony out of true love, no matter how favourable the match with any which alpha may be.

🌙 I’ll Be Here Waiting on Forever by @sweaterpawstyles (46k) | Explicit
Harry made Louis feel like he was walking on air. He was beautiful in every way and it constantly amazed Louis. His eyes could melt Louis’ heart at a single glance, his soft hands made Louis’ heart race with a simple touch, and the words from his cherry red lips were so captivating that Louis held onto everything he said.
There was a constant buzz in Louis’ veins when Harry gave him that look, the look that spoke more than words ever could. It was a soft fond that Louis fell in love with so easily. Too easily.
Louis was in love with the boy he could never have and show off to the world.

Harry’s nose twitched as he caught a scent on the breeze, one that sent a shudder through his whole body. His eyes closed subconsciously, and he lost himself in the heady scent, the vanilla top notes, and the more woody undertones, making every hair on Harry’s body stand on end. That was how Harry discovered this man was an Alpha.
“Jaz, Harry, this is my Uncle Louis. Lou, this is my girlfriend Jasmine, and her dad Harry.”
“Lovely to meet you,” Louis grinned, leaning in and kissing Jasmine’s cheek quickly, a respectful Alpha gesture. Harry held his breath as Louis stuck out a hand, taking it almost reluctantly, certain the Alpha would pick up on his own scent and the nerves flowing through it. “Hi, Harry.”
“Hi,” Harry said, his voice low and raspy, still affected by Louis’ scent. “Nice to meet you.”
~~~~
Harry’s an Omega who has been alone for too long. Louis’ an Alpha who is scared to find love again.
Thanks to the meddling of Harry’s teenage daughter and her boyfriend, the two seem destined to meet, and it might just change everything they thought they knew about their lives.
Will they find what they didn’t realise they’ve always wanted in each other?

What happens when a Duke who will only marry for love and a courtesan who only sells it create a public ruse? Well, nothing boring for sure. An Edwardian AU.
🌙 Si Pudiera Volar by @softfonds (68k) | Explicit
When Harry’s fiancé leaves him for his cousin, he looks the other way for the sake of his happiness. He’ll do anything to forget about him, including joining a monastery. It isn’t until his cousin’s former lover, a pirate, appears that he realizes everything is not as it appears, and an honest pirate might be the only person worthy of his heart.
Or, a fic loosely based on Corazon Salvaje.
🌙 Say Something by @kingsofeverything (105k) | Explicit
At fifty years old and recently divorced, Omega Harry Styles isn't interested in dating. When his doctor suggests a heat and rut matching service, he signs up out of necessity. It’s the only use he has for an Alpha in his life.
Twenty-eight-year-old Alpha Louis Tomlinson aims to change that.
🌙 Pretty Please (With Sugar On Top) by @angelichl (113k) | Explicit
Harry is a sugar baby omega who cons rich alphas for a living. Louis is a rich alpha with too much self-control.

'It's a part of my history. I was born in the mid-50s. I was born at a time when there were no LGBTQ± - we didn't even have all those letters - characters anywhere in film, television. I never heard the word 'homosexual' spoken aloud until I was in college. It was the worst thing that somebody could be.
'And here I'm at a film festival in Toronto with a movie that I've written, and it's a love story - a profound love story - between two men. 【voice breaks] And it moves me, almost to tears, as you can see...
'The message is: Love is a radical political act. Don't be afraid to love.'
Ron Nyswaner, screenwriter for My Policeman, TIFF 2022, 9.11.22
