âJust, off the record,â she says, voice lower, eyes sharper, crook of her mouth quirking up a little, âdonât you ever miss it? A good knot? You must.â
Louis blinks and then swallows, thickly. âNo,â he exclaims, offended that sheâd even ask, âI love my husband. And anyway, how could I miss something Iâve never had?â
Louis is the frontman of an equal rights-movement, author of a book about beta-omega marriage and the struggles of being born and boxed into a personality you don't necessarily feel you fit. The notion that an omega must want to be with an alpha or else he or she's just settling for less, is bullshit.
But, fucking hell.
2ď¸âŁ Where We Belong {E, 118k}
They had it all. Reasonable flat, reasonable money, (somewhat) reasonable friends and love beyond all reason.
They were perfect. Louis thought.
3ď¸âŁ Maybe One Day {E, 60k}
âIâd like to say welcome to you all, old friends and as well as new, Iâm honoured that youâve come and that weâre all embarking on this as first-timerâs together,â Liam says, raising a glass. Theyâre all sat cross-legged in a circle on the livingroom-rug that Louis and Zayn rolled out just half an hour ago, with champagne in plastic-cups and Niall plinging intermittently on a badly strung guitar. Like a proper sixties hippie commune. Like what they are now, Louis supposes, give or take fifty years. âCheers to our new family! Let it be a happy one!â
When Louis and the majority of his friends agree to live together in one big house in Manchester, the idea seems crazy, but like a great opportunity.
Louis just forgets to factor in the issue of living a bit too closely with people that he's always wanted even closer than that. Mainly Harry, that is.
4ď¸âŁ Every breath you take {E, 68k}
Thereâs noise on the other side of the door. A chair, screeching against wood floors. Then footsteps, stumbling closer. Someone comes marching in, eyes trained on Liam, and pushes him aside to turn the thing off with a swift flick of a switch.
Louisâ heart leaps into his throat.
He grips the duvet thatâs been bunched up at the foot of the bed and yanks it up around himself. Maybe itâs too much movement too fast because he goes dizzy, black dots speckling his vision.
When Harry finally turns around, Louis thinks heâs about to pass out. What the fuck. What the fuck.
âWe couldnât go anywhere else,â Louis thinks he hears Liam say, beneath the current of his own blood rushing through his ears. âLouis? Lou?â
When Liam finds Louis alone in a feral state outside his home, he can't bring him home for fear of Louis harming his own omega partner. He can't alert authorities or go to a shelter, as documented feral spells function like black spots on a persons record for the rest of their lives. In the end, he can only think of one possible safe location to bring Louis to; Harry's. But Louis and Harry haven't spoken in three years. Not since the night everything came crashing down between them.
5ď¸âŁ The window to the soul {E, 6k}
If they were the sort of couple who could do things half-way, who could accept that two months without each other meant two months of having other people throw themselves at them relentlessly while being utterly depraved of physical intimacy, and that maybe, just maybe, one might have a little slip-up with some meaningless model, perhaps itâd be easier. But then, if they were that sort of couple, that would mean being able to accept the mere thought of someone else touching Louis without wanting to rip his own guts out and Harry knows himself, at this point, soâ so, no. No, theyâre not that sort of couple; theyâre the sort that scream at each other all of last night because Harry spent two seconds chatting to the nice, polite girl at the beer-stand. Theyâre the sort that are too fucking stubborn not to have gotten over it by the morning, or by evening, or even by now, that Harryâs just come off stage and needs that warm little body to hug him back down to earth.
harry comes off stage at iheart 2017 and really needs a bit of physical affection
HIDDEN GEM:
đ when the going gets tough {E, 2k}
He's sat in a lounge chair, in the heart of the party, just staring at his not-yet-boyfriend as he grinds on some footie player twice his size. Harry knows Louisâ only doing it to piss him off, because he keeps glancing over when he thinks Harry wonât catch it, but thatâs not the part thatâs making Harryâs blood boil. Itâs the fact that the guy behind Louis, bumping his crotch into Louisâ arse in time with the music, thinks heâs going to get it. Harry doesnât know the guy, but he knows guys. Alphas. He knows that look heâs sporting, all want, lust, almost smug. Self-satisfied. Harry digs his nails into the armrests of his chair when the guy snakes an arm around Louisâ lower belly and licks his lips like he thinks heâs about to get it. Heâs not about to get it. Heâs not.
Harry is going into unexpectedly early rut and right then, his new boyfriend Louis decides to be a dick and make him jealous.
Becoming the victim of any crime would be preferential to dealing with being broken up with after discovering his girlfriend had been cheating on him so frequently that her entire friend group thought they had broken up, whilst hundreds of miles from home.
his mum told him never to take candy from a stranger, but louis is an adult, not some gullible kid. mints from strangers donât count, do they?
In which Louis is a guitarist for a semi-popular, soon-to-break-up rock'n'roll band, Harry is a groupie who always claims to be retired and Zayn is lowkey a jerk. Louis is in love with Harry, Harry has a crush on Zayn and Niall is an aspiring journalist just trying to do his damn job.
- or the Almost Famous (2000) AU literally nobody asked for
Below are all the fics written for round 10.2 of the wordplayfics challenge.
one heart in two homes by SuperNoah
When Zayn and Liam adopt Cody, an older rescue dog whose previous owner has passed away, they expect to spend his golden years giving him a comfortable home.
What they don't expect is to inherit pieces of another life. An old letter, a favourite bakery and a bench overlooking the river. Familiar routines that Cody refuses to forget. As they follow in the pawprints of the man who loved him first, Zayn and Liam slowly come to know Arthur through the ordinary moments he shared with his best friend.
Told across two intertwining timelines, a story about grief, second chances, and the remarkable way dogs carry love from one family to the next. Because a dog's heart is never divided, it simply grows large enough to hold everyone who has ever called it home.
Home is Where You're Hardest by yeah_alright
A soulmate AU where adults who are in the same building as their soulmate get an instant erection. Poor Louis has only ever gotten them in huge buildings, so he's never had any chance of actually finding his soulmate when it happens. When he meets Harry, he feels an instant connection, but unfortunately his soft dick doesn't seem to agree that he could be the one. Maybe there's still a way for it to all work out...
Escaping Heartbreak Weather by Blue_Green28
After a mutual friend's wedding Harry and Louis spend one night together in a hotel room.
for a moment I knew cosmic love by we_are_the_same
Liam isnât exactly sure how it works. How heâs alive. Heâs not sure when it happened, either. He canât remember his childhood all that well, wonders if that means that memories are stored not in the brain but in the heart.
But the facts are this:
One. Liamâs heart doesnât beat in his chest. It does beat, in its own little box on Liamâs bedside table, but he can leave and go to work and do everything other humans do, except he does it while leaving his heart at home.
Two. When Liam falls in love, he doesnât just give his metaphorical heart to someone. He gives them the box, to take care of for better or worse. He learned that one the hard way, when heâd first fallen in love and found that one morning itâd just disappeared, ended up on someone elseâs bedside table.
Three. No matter what the recipient does with it, whether they throw it out or shriek or call the police - very valid options even if no one but Liam and the recipient can open the box - it has a way of coming back to them, at least until they hand it back to Liam or Liam finds it back in his possession. Until his heart is his again, doesnât belong anymore to whoever he - sometimes unwillingly - gave it to.
Tied Up Like Two Ships by 4ureyesonly28
"What are you doing on my beach?â
The two men are about the same age as Liam, he guesses, and the one with the long curls smiles at him sheepishly. "Sorry, we didn't know this strip belonged to anyone." Somehow the deepness of the stranger's voice is in total juxtaposition to the way his unbuttoned shirt blows open in the gentle breeze.
Liam turns his back to them as he gathers everything he needs from the boat. "That's alright," he says over his shoulder. He's too tired to be annoyed with them. "What are you up to anyway? Romantic sunset dinner?" he tries to joke but in the silence that follows, he figures he's hit the nail on the head.
A story about two rival pirate Captains, their First Mates, an assassination attempt, a clueless fisherman, a nosy innkeeper and a tattoo artist too smart for his own good.
Haunted By The Look In Your Eyes by babyhoneyhslt
Harry finds out the truth of what actually happened in his last visit to The Winchester Hotel.
Out Riding Fences by Worldofdreamers
Heartbroken and lost, Niall goes off on a late night drive towards something better and stumbles into a diner during a storm.
ii. heart by StarryDay13
Harry's killed a vampire hundreds of times before. There is no reason this time should be different just because this one is hot and annoying and all Harry can think about.
- or Louis pretends not to have the upper hand
Make it So Devine by amomentoflove
As one of the resident witches in the village, Harry is used to getting all sorts of patrons in his shop. There are those who have a long list of needs that almost wipe out all of Harryâs shelves; thereâs those who come in wary of everything Harry has to offer; then there are those who come in with a look of deep hurt and helplessness in their eyes that tugs at Harryâs heartstrings. Those ones might be his favorites in a strange, twisted sort of way. After all, heâs the only witch whoâs knowledgeable in love potions.
or the one where Louis and his boyfriend visit Harry's magic shop in search of a love potion
You Redefine My Type by LetTheMusicMoveYou
And right at the end of the row, is a lime green motorized scooter. It has a white wicker basket hanging from the handlebars. And affixed to the back bumper is a small placard that reads:
I â¤ď¸ Men Who Ride đ´
Louis snorts every single time he sees it.
Thereâs literally only one person in this entire building that scooter could possibly belong to.
And unfortunately, Louis would quite like to experience his riding skills.
(Or the one where Louis is still finding himself after a breakup. Turns out his new neighbor Harry has plenty to show him).
i can feel your heart inside of mine by DaddyAlphaLouisBabyOmegaHarry
Harry wakes up from a naughty dream to find his nappy drenched with slick.
Going for those pleasures in the night by Lalalaartje
Zayn finally realises he's in heat and Liam rushes home. But of course nothing goes according to plan. Or does it?
the world is just a figment of the fools (so say your prayers) by yourdelicatepov
Louis had always been Harry's rock.
While it was Harry who had the enhanced mutated genes in his DNA that made it possible for him to do things any normal human would be physically incapable of doing, Louis was the one with the mental fortitude in their relationship.
Louis was strong and he was brave and he was unafraid and those are the qualities that drew Harry towards Louis in the first place. He was also gentle and caring and fiercely protective, he looked after Harry and supported him through thick and thin and if it wasn't for Louis. Harry would have been lost a long while ago.
Louis was Harry's rock.
But sometimes, Harry wondered if Louis knew he didn't always have to be.
Or, Harry is a vigilante who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, but maybe he didn't have to carry it. Because Louis was Harry's whole world. And Louis was enough. And he needed to tell Louis that before it was too late.
Got a Black Heart Today by homosociallyyours
It's a shitty day and Louis is over everything. Even Harry.
why can't we be friends? by localopa
okay, so taking candy from a stranger worked out once for louis. he met harry, they commiserated together, and they went their separate ways. that doesnât mean eat the food that showed up at his door from a stranger. his mum is going to be so disappointed in him...
not heartbroken by reminiscingintherain
somebody's got your trainers on, the ones that you wore when you walked out the door...
My first fic for Wordplay 10.0 @wordplayfics written on the prompt 10.1 - Retirement
Appy has spent almost a decade running agility courses with Harry by her side. Every jump, every tunnel, every clean round has been another conversation between dog and handler. Another reminder that they're both at their happiest when they're running together.
But every athlete reaches the finish line eventually.
As Appy settles into retirement, Harry struggles to let go of the life they've shared, while Louis wonders if suggesting getting another dog would help heal the emptiness or only deepen it. When an energetic young rescue Bearded Collie unexpectedly enters their lives, all three of them must learn that welcoming a new beginning doesn't mean leaving the past behind.
A bittersweet story about growing older, learning to let go, and discovering that love is never replaced.

we could catch a spaceship to the moon (but we'd crash)
by yourdelicatepov | M, 9.5k
âIâm really sorry,â he said again, from a deeper part of his heart. Sorry for making you worry all the time. Sorry I couldnât be an ordinary boy you could love without fear of losing forever. Sorry that loving me takes everything out of you.
Louis shushed him, again and again, as if he could somehow hear the rows of apologies Harry was making all in his own mind. Maybe he could. Theyâd done this a billion times before. âYouâre okay,â Louis said, maybe in response to Harryâs apology, maybe to reassure Harry. Maybe to remind himself. âYouâre alright.â
He pulled them both down, until he was lying back on the bed with Harry on top of him. His arms tightened around Harryâs back, pulling him impossibly closer as if he wanted to swallow Harry whole. Harry wished he could. He was so tired of being.
âIâm so sorry,â he mumbled into Louisâ chest, as he began to drift off.
âWeâll be alright,â Louis whispered. Maybe it was a prayer.
Or, Harry is a vigilante who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and Louis needs him to stop before he kills himself
Your Hand Tattoo Inked In My Memory by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28
Pairing: Harry/Louis (Pornstar AU)
Rating: Explicit (5k)
Written for @wordplayfics 10.1
Prompt: retired
Louis nods. âSeriously, I think youâre great. And Iâm not trying to make you uncomfortable or anything, but I was wondering if youâve ever considered starting an Only Fans?â
Harryâs face somehow gets impossibly redder.
âOh erm, well...â He sputters. âI donât really do that anymore.â
The flush is spreading down his neck now. âI mean, I do it.â He corrects, face flaming âJust not on camera.â
(Or the one where Louis realizes his new neighbor is a retired porn star who happened to be one of Louisâ all time favorites. He decides to take a risk and make a proposal, that it turns out Harry canât refuse).
A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.
- Top 5 H/L Fics -
1ď¸âŁ Walk That Mile by purpledaisy {E, 149k}
Harry stares at him, the line of his jaw standing out scarily. âI wanted to get the most out of this trip so I planned it carefully.â His voice is low and steady and somehow thatâs worse than when he was yelling. âSo far, youâve put your sticky fingers on everything Iâve tried to do.â
âSticky fingers?â Louis repeats, offended. âAre you saying itâs 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 donât go blaming me.â
âPolk-A-Dot Drive In,â 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.
2ď¸âŁ waiting for the tides to meet by @nauticalleeds {E, 59k}
Louis lets out a deep breath, thinking about Harryâs soulmate. Thinking about how Harryâs soulmate is probably as beautiful as Harry, some person that Louis cannot compare to, and how the universe has chosen them to be Harryâs. Fuck the universe. âFuck you,â he calls out to the universe. Heâs aware of how crazy he sounds.
Maybe he is crazy, with how heâs falling for Harry. And fuck that, too.Â
Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia â one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate's. It's only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he'll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis' workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis' heart.
Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don't ask why.
3ď¸âŁ Stranger Stars by shaylea {E, 212k}
Five years ago, Africa offered a grieving Louis Tomlinson an escape from an England he couldn't tolerate. Now it's become home as he leads overland tours across the continent with his best friend and driver Zayn Malik. What's meant to be just another ordinary six-week trip from Cape Town to Nairobi turns into anything but, when future lawyer/current photographer and songwriter Harry Styles and his friends join Louis' latest set of passengers.
4ď¸âŁ but me, i'm not a gamble by orphan_account {M, 33k}
A Posh & Becks AU in which Harry is a star on the stage and Louis is a star on the pitch, but they're both inexplicably terrible at articulating their feelings. In the end, it only takes a season's worth of failed matchmaking schemes, platonic dinner dates, road trip holidays, and one very convenient David Beckham cameo for them to figure it all out. And if Niall knew all along? Well, he at least has the decency not to be too smug about it.
5ď¸âŁ 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 thereâs something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.
HIDDEN GEMS:
đ findin' pieces that can fit by lsforever / @kingonafiftymetreroad {E, 31k}
When theyâve about finished eating, just snacking on their breadsticks and sipping the last of their wine, conversations about anything and everything tapering off, Louis sets his glass down and leans forward over the table.
Harry perks up a bit, sitting straighter to be more level with Louis and his serious expression. He feels nerves prickle across his skin before Louis absolutely confuses the hell out of him.
âSo when are you gonna introduce me to your family?â he asks, tone and face serious enough that Harry is thrown so far off course.
âWhat? Wait, what?â
or, an Omega/Omega Established Relationship AU where theyâre figuring it out as they go along. Thereâs a road trip in there, lots of cuddling, some cats and dogs, and, of course, the best first time Harry could ever ask for.
đ Across The Lines by @creamcoffeelou {E, 28k}
With a camera in hand, Louis sets off on the road trip of his life to explore the most famous haunted houses of the UK. Things don't exactly go to plan.
đ I Fall To Pieces by fairytalefemme {T, 5k}
Louis Tomlinson grew up in a tiny farming town one hundred and seventeen miles away from Nashville, Tennessee. She never dreamed sheâd ever make it bigger than the local dive bar on a Saturday night but after one of her songs was picked up for a movie sheâs been thrust into fame as a newly-closeted lesbian country singer. Sheâs content to play along with the narratives constructed for her as long as itâll get her enough for a plane ticket North and a humble apartment once sheâs paid her dues.
Everythingâs going to plan until she comes face-to-face with Americaâs Sweetheart, the blonde-haired green-eyed Harry Styles, whoâs been winning over the hearts of millions (including Louisâ own) since she was fifteen.
OR the all-girls au where Louis is basically KD Lang and Harry is basically Dolly Parton and they fall in love in a pickup truck.
A long ride in a car with no AC is driving Louis to the brink of insanity. Luckily, his boyfriend Harry knows just what will make him relax. And if a stranger decides to sneak a peek at the action... well, the more the merrier, right?
Heyy i was the last person u answered. Could u pls share the one with Harry pregnant! I might as well read that while I search, thank you!
Hi anon! I should have mentioned it's a deleted fic whoops. It's called hard to confess by Hereforlou. I don't have the PDF of that one, but you can contact @londonfoginacup for it!
