so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed

(swore to each other) we'd never be enemies

“You know,” Niall starts, “when you asked me to come over, I wasn’t expecting this.” He frowns, his arms crossed as he stares at the unconscious person resting on Louis’ guest bed, before pinning Louis down with a stare. “No offense, but, what the fuck.”

He watches as Louis shrugs a shoulder, faux casual, but Niall has known him long enough to know that there’s multitudes behind that movement, behind the stormy look in his eyes. “You don’t understand,” Louis whispers, and Niall will have to concede to that because no, he sure as hell fucking doesn’t.

“In case you’ve forgotten, that’s your enemy,” he states, as though Louis needs reminding of that. “That’s X, the guy you’ve been fighting for far too long a time. The guy we’ve been fighting, may I remind you. Why the hell would you end up bringing him to your house?”

He watches Louis swallow, his fingertips inexplicably almost ghosting over the cheek of the dark haired man. “Because,” Louis says quietly. “That’s not X. I mean, it is X,” he stumbles over his words, hurrying to explain. “But it’s Zayn.” His voice sounds small. “This is the guy who used to be my best friend.”

🩸 extraordinary lovers (series) by @stylinsoncity {M, 211k}

"We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are." - Laura Van Prooyen

harry is a third-year witch and violinist at Laitswold, the only magical academy in the UK, with dreams of taking on the world, and hopefully breaking the centuries-old curse on his family while he's at it. he does not dream of facing off against his childhood rival and duet partner, but louis is back in town after six years abroad, so that's exactly what happens.

🩸 we should open up (before it's all too much) by @disgruntledkittenface {M, 43k}

“I’m not–” Harry breaks off, his voice strangled as he clutches his phone in his hand. He takes a breath and looks up, trying to keep the tears threatening to spill over at bay. “Louis, I’m not very good company these days. I–”

“Harry,” Louis interrupts, his raspy voice soft and soothing. “I get it. Sometimes it’s just easier to be alone, yeah?”

Harry nods, blinking back the last of his tears.

“But it can get lonely,” Louis states. Harry nods again even though it wasn’t a question, finally looking back at him. “So why don’t we try being alone, together?”

Struggling with grieving and depression since his dad died, Harry has never felt so alone. It’s too much to cope with on his own, but he feels like a burden when he tries to open up with people.

Then he meets Louis.

🩸 Devil in your Smile (it's chasing me) (series) by Awriterwrites / @a-writerwrites {E, 42k}

Harry walked slowly to the door, an eerie sense of déjà vu rolling over him. “Who is it?” he called out through the varnished maple.

“Can Harry come out to play?” The voice on the other side of the door was light and airy, musical, with a raspy edge.

Louis.

Harry felt his pulse race a little before he found words. “Harry’s not home right now.” He smirked.

There was a pause and then a light tap-tap-tap on the door, right at Harry’s ear. “Bullshit.”

Louis is a vampire. Harry is probably too curious for his own good.

🩸 Give Me a Memory I Can Use by harioandlouigi {E, 41k}

Louis is a brilliant, yet broke PhD student, Harry’s a pretentious and arrogant vampire, and first impressions have never been more deceiving.

Or the one where Louis and Harry will always have Rome. And San Francisco. And London. And each other.

🩸 Soaked In The Blood Of Angels by whoknows {E, 40k}

The boy looks drugged, caught between a man who’s almost twice his size and a girl who looks like she wouldn’t even break a sweat snapping him in half despite her small stature, eyes closed and mouth open as he pants, arching up between them almost as if he’s trying to escape.

Normally, Harry would ignore it and continue on his search for someone to drink from, someone who wouldn’t mind his sharp teeth and rough hands. He’s seen plenty of boys like this one, ones who picked the wrong playmates, and if he stopped to rescue every single one of them he would have died from thirst a long time ago.

This one, though. There’s something about this one, the sheen of his bright blue eyes as he blinks slowly, looks around as though he doesn’t know where he is, the weakness of his hands as he tries to push the girl off of him and make his escape.

🩸 hard times in elmsmere by @stylinsoncity {M, 37k}

in elmsmere, a vampire’s need for blood is only awakened after their first feed. and with their first taste of the vein comes strength, speed and in louis’ case, raging bloodlust for harry, his best mate since the age of three. for louis, being a full-fledged vampire complicates everything, not just his relationship with harry but with harry’s entire coven who took Louis in as an orphan.

he’s struggling enough to adjust to life in the present when an older version of harry magically appears to him and requests his help in the future.

🩸 Campus Creatures by @kingsofeverything , YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf {E, 25k}

It’s senior year for werewolf Louis Tomlinson and vampire Harry Styles, and as presidents of their respective fraternities, they’re determined to do it right.

Though what that means is anybody’s guess.

🩸 Forever And Always by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom {E, 25k}

“Right,” Harry says and slaps his hands down on the kitchen benchtop. Now he just has to get home, find this poor Niall guy who is currently camped out in his body, and have them swapped back. What could possibly go wrong?

OR the one where Harry’s neighbour is a crotchety old witch who hates vampires, Niall is the unsuspecting human who ends up inhabiting Harry’s body, and Louis is the caseworker who is assigned to swap them back. How it ends up a love story is anyone’s guess.

🩸 Nocturnal Creatures Are Not So Prudent by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey {M, 24k}

Louis spins a finger in midair, like he’s indicating someone to turn around, staring pointedly at Liam as the faucet turns itself on and the can rinses itself in the sink behind him. Liam, moon burn him, doesn't rise to the bait, choosing instead to lean back on his stool and wrapping his hands around his own mug.

“Anyway, like I was saying and that you were ignoring, there's this new club near my school and I want you to go with me. Could do you some good, getting out once in awhile.”

Louis is a white witch with a little black cat named Hemlock and a best human friend Liam (they're a lot like Samantha Stephens and Louise Tate). When he's dragged out to a new club Liam's heard about from a friend and classmate, Louis comes face to face with that which witches do not touch: a charming vampire by the name of Harry.

🩸 Death Wish by Speechless {E, 22k}

Louis hates vampires, he lives his life trying to kill as many as he can, night after night, year after year. He hates them. Then why the fuck is he kissing one? Again. “I mean it, Harry.” Louis says, into his mouth this time. “You need to get the fuck away from me.”

Based on Prompt 403: If having more chemistry with a villain than with your own boyfriend was a crime, then Louis would be in jail. Or the hero slowly falls in love with the morally grey character AU

🩸 Vampire Harry/Human Louis (series) by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28 {E, 19k}

It’s not until he gets a whiff of the contents of his glass that Louis realizes his grave mistake.

That’s not red wine.

It’s blood.

It’s probably not the most rational, but his first thought is what people are going to think when they discover his body. On the list of stupidest ways for a human to die, accidentally turning up to a Vampire party has to be pretty high up there.

(Or the one where Human Louis accidentally finds himself at a Vampire only party which actually turns out to maybe not be the worst thing).

🩸 Can I just be the same? by Star_Henderson / @tommosgun {M, 17k}

“Are you skint?” Louis studied his face. “I can give you the bloody bus fare home, Harry. You don't have to walk.” His voice was soft. Caring.

Harry stopped, his body tingling. Fuck. He shouldn’t have crossed the road. Keep walking. Always keep walking.

“I’m not skint, but thanks for the offer. There’s not many kind people like you around. You’re lovely, you know that?” Harry reached his hand out tentatively, cupping Louis’ elbow and squeezing. “Thank you.” His voice hitched a little.

He’d roamed the country for centuries, coming in and out of people’s lives, never able to forge bonds. Or, if he did, breaking them and suffering the pain of lost love. That was his life forever. Stuck in this limbo with not one other person in the whole world who cared about him. So the kindness of a stranger really hit home, and this stranger with the bluest eyes and brightest smile was making Harry feel alive again. Reminding him of what he was missing

OR Harry is a two hundred year old Vampire with no one in the whole world and Louis is the kind hearted stranger who comes into Harry's life bringing something that Harry had missed. Love. But Harry is forever running, can Louis be the one to change all that?

🩸 In A World Full Of Wrong (You're The Thing That's Right) by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove {NR, 15k}

Harry is a vampire. Louis is a vampire Hunter. This sounds like a bad idea already, doesn’t it? Yeah, it probably was. Feat. Vampire!Zayn and obliviously normal human Niall. When Niall is the most normal person in your life, you know you have problems.

Niall tapped him on the forehead. “He’s not lost, dipshit. It’s just an excuse.”

Harry was well and truly baffled. “Excuse? I – what?”

“He doesn’t ask anyone else to show him the way.”

Harry blinked. “Just me?”

“Just you.”

“But – why?”

Niall gave him a look. “Do I really have to spell it out for you?” He poked Harry in the chest. “He likes you.”

“No way!” Harry said. Then, “Really?”

🩸 oh so familiar by @insightfulinsomniac {E, 13k}

When Harry transferred to the University of Mestonwood, he hoped that he'd finally fit in. As a witch, he's much less likely to feel isolated on an entirely supernatural campus, right?

Wrong. Thanks to the cold-shoulder efforts of Louis Tomlinson, president of the vampire Coven, Harry still feels the sting of rejection from the most gorgeous boy on campus. It's doubly frustrating that everyone else, even Harry's only close friend, Niall, seems to think Louis is a great guy.

Harry vows to actively ignore Louis in return, but his plans are foiled when his familiar, Oli, starts turning off their telepathic connection during Harry's classes. It doesn't take long for Harry to find out where Oli is disappearing to - or, rather, who he is disappearing to.

A story of misguided enemies to lovers brought together by a stubborn orange tabby.

🩸 A Long Way From The Top by @jaerie {E, 11k}

Harry needed to find a purpose in life. Mount Everest wasn't the place he'd expected to find it, but he'd take what he could get. He also hadn't expected to come home with extra baggage.

🩸 Withdrawal Was the Weeping by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird {E, 11k}

Confined by life and society, Harry spends her Sunday afternoons walking aimlessly about the countryside as it's her only source of freedom. One Sunday she is aided by the most beautiful woman she has ever met, but not everything is as it seems. Was it a trick of the light? Was it Harry's own active imagination? There is nothing to do but try to find her again.

🩸 let me outshine the moon by sarcasticfluentry {E, 9k}

“Fuck,” echoes Liam, shaking his head at them with a small smile on his face. “Just don’t get yourselves killed.”

“You can come too, if you want,” says Niall, standing up.

“I wouldn’t be caught dead at a vampire bar,” Liam scoffs, standing up as well. “Wait. Fuck.”

...or, boarding school students Niall and Harry chance a trip to the local vampire bar.

🩸 Somethin' Old and Red by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense {NR, 5k}

There was a ritual with these things. He’d pour a splash into a wine glass —his favourite little joke was telling humans he loved a nice glass of red every now and again— then sat down in his living room and listened to music while he drank. Every time he changed the record —or, what was it they called them nowadays? 8tracks? MP3s? Playlists? It was difficult for Harry to keep up with the technology, especially as much as things had changed over the last few decades— he would change the music before refilling the glass. He liked to savour his meals. He could get at least two evenings out of a bag that way, which worked very well for Harry’s schedule. His wine glass was in front of him on the counter, and he was ready to pour.

🩸 Nothing's Greater Than the Rush by therogueskimo / @bravetemptation {E, 5k}

Good luck. That’s how whoever had turned him had signed off their little instruction manual, as though this was the most natural thing in the world. As though being a vampire - which Louis didn’t even know existed until he was one - was normal, something that happened every day.

To survive being turned into a vampire, Louis must feed on the person he loves most. There's just one little problem: that person is his best friend, Harry, and Harry has no idea.

🩸 The Hidden Hills Restaurant by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose {E, 4k}

“Are you sure you want to hear about this? Wouldn’t you rather hear about what I’ll do to you? How often? How long? How many fin—“

“I like to get to know my potential clients before agreeing to anything,” Louis says and lays down the menu. He’s thinking of steak. Something meaty, juicy, and hearty.

Harry’s arched eyebrow at the word ‘potential’ doesn’t escape Louis’ notice.

or the one where Louis is a personal feeder and Harry is the vampire to be his next client

🩸 For You I'd Bleed Myself Dry by @allwaswell16 {E, 3k}

After a public and humiliating breakup, Louis Tomlinson finds himself on his would-be honeymoon with his best friend, Niall. However, this St. Lucian paradise is not all that it seems. Louis may be particularly vulnerable to an unusually handsome predator.

🩸 this night is sparkling (don't you let it go) by @tracksuitponytail {T, 2k}

Halloween reunites witch Harry and vampire Louis for their annual celebration in Harry’s countryside home. Will magic play a trick on them or turn the night into an enchanting treat?

🌊 the unfinished game (series) by barchive {M, 240k}

Harry's been engaged to Princess Charlotte of Ryde for as long as he can remember. He's come to know her, to love her, through the letters she's sent him over the past three years.

But when the wedding finally arrives, Harry quickly learns that nothing is as it seems. With his crown and country at stake, Harry must decide who to trust in this strange new land. And the sly Crown Prince of Ryde doesn't seem inclined to make things easy.

🌊 For the Right Reasons by @juliusschmidt {E, 105k}

Harry doesn’t agree to be the Bachelor expecting to find love. He’s just hoping for an exciting jaunt around the world, half a dozen new friends, and, if he’s lucky, an amazing hj or two.

Louis may have signed up to be a contestant on the Bachelor, but he’s not interested a ring or a proposal, not from Harry, not from anyone. He wouldn’t turn down a few more Instagram followers, though.

🌊 Where You Lay by HamPalpert {E, 86k}

When Louis's upcoming heat threatens his success at his new dream job, he asks the best (and only) person he can think of to help him through it: his best mates' best mate, Harry Styles. Harry reluctantly accepts, and together the two navigate a strange friends with benefits relationship that quickly turns complicated.

🌊 The Pros and Cons of Breathing by @hellolovers13 {E, 81k}

Harry wiped the tears from his cheeks. No. He’d not been raised to give up. He’d find a way to survive this. He might be an omega, but he’d never been weak and he wouldn’t start now.

His gaze fell to Louis, who was already asleep, chest rising and falling evenly. Harry would become the perfect omega for him. No matter the disgust he might feel in doing so.

It was his duty, after all.

or Omega Harry has always known he'd be married off someday. It's to be expected, given his station. So his betrothal to Prince Louis comes as no surprise. While he's nervous about leaving his home, and the life and people he knows, he's still hopeful for a good match and a happy marriage.

But when Louis avoids him at all costs, and is downright cruel to him at times, it leaves Harry trying to make sense of his new life alone.

Can he find happiness - and a home - even in a broken marriage?

🌊 The Lone Hydrangea by lightswoodmagic / @lightwoodsmagic {E, 77k}

“Thank you again,” he smiled at Harry as he picked up the arrangement and headed towards the door, and Harry quickly realised he didn’t know the man’s name. “I – wait! Sorry, I just...what’s your name?” At the man’s eyebrow raise, Harry stumbled over his words, “It’s just, if you’re coming back, I thought I should…know.” As the man looked at Harry, his smile only grew, and Harry’s heart thumped in his chest. “My name’s Louis. Louis Tomlinson, and it was so lovely to meet you,” he shot one final grin in Harry’s direction, “I’ll see you next week, Harry.” And then he was gone. “It was lovely to meet you too,” Harry whispered to the empty shop, putting his head on the counter, “Louis”.

Or the post Hogwarts AU where Harry's a florist, Louis' a muggle who edits fantasy books, and they both have no say in how quickly they fall for each other.

🌊 Don't Want Shelter by @kingsofeverything {E, 76k}

Louis and Harry have known each other all their lives. Friends as children, they danced around each other as teenagers, and have spent the last twenty-five years either screaming at each other or not speaking at all. Except for that one time ten years ago…

When Hurricane Nicole threatens the coast, they end up stuck together in their families' old vacation home that they begrudgingly co-own.

During the storm, and in the months after, they’re both forced to reevaluate their history and what they mean to each other.

🌊 Caught In Your Gravity by @lululawrence {NR, 62k}

It felt like the blood froze in Harry’s veins even as he got a bit lightheaded. He hadn’t even made it two practices, only one of which he was remotely in charge of, without giving it all away and now he and Liam were both absolutely fucked.

“Shit,” Harry breathed out. “Who all have you told? Does everyone know? I thought I covered it better than that…”

“No, no,” Louis said quickly. "They’ll figure it out soon enough, though, because they’ll get used to you changing things up, but you’re only going to trip over your so called Americanisms for so long before they realize it’s because you don’t actually know fuck all about football.”

Harry sighed. “Yeah. I figured. I just need to bullshit for long enough to allow Liam to get the situation figured out from his end.”

“Right, which brings me to my entire point. I think we can find a mutually beneficial arrangement with all of this.” Louis leaned forward. “You need to learn the ins and outs of the sport incredibly fast. I can help you with that.”

“What do you want in exchange?”

Or, an AU inspired by a 30 second trailer of Ted Lasso that doesn't actually have much in common with the show at all.

🌊 Here's Your Perfect by @brightgolden {E, 54k}

All finesse tossed aside, Harry yanks the envelope from Miss Eden’s hand. He hears her laugh, bright and cheerful as he tears into the envelope. His eyes skipping over the complimentary paragraph congratulating him for being assigned, settling into the centre of the letter - the name of his future mate.

And suddenly, Harry feels there isn’t enough air in this world for him to inhale as he recites the name in his mind. Louis Tomlinson.

OR In the world where mates are assigned to everyone and deposited to their door when an agreeable partner is found for them, Alpha Louis has recently been given his. However, he is nothing like the type of alpha that the omega academy prepares Harry for.

🌊 Life Was a Song, You Came Along by rainbowninja167 / @rainbowtitania {E, 37k}

It's embarrassing how long it takes Louis to recognize his own song. Niall had sung it as a bright, hopeful love song, and that’s honestly how Louis had always assumed it should sound. But this new voice, slow and rough, stripped of any backing instrument, has infused the lyrics with just the tumultuous mix of fear and defiance that Louis can remember so clearly from the night he wrote them. It’s not a comfortable thing, to feel like someone is singing all your secrets back to you.

Louis is a songwriter trapped in a lie that could ruin his best friend's career. Harry owns a record store, distrusts everyone in the music industry on principle, but loves Niall Horan's newest album. A modern retelling of Singin' in the Rain.

🌊 I Just Want You to Stay by @sadaveniren {E, 34k}

“Remember the vet job up in Edinburgh I interviewed for right before your rut?” Louis nodded. “She just called me back. I got the job. I start next year.” Harry let out a shriek as he said the word year and he clapped his hands in delight. “Isn’t that great! Full time vet job! New animals to meet! A new environment!” He settled his eyes back on Louis, who was still standing there in front of him with wide eyes. “Isn’t it great, Lou?”

That seemed to jolt Louis out of his thoughts and he nodded immediately, opening his arms up for Harry to dive into. “Holy shit, yes. Congratulations. Come here,” he wrapped his arms around Harry and cuddled him close, pressing his nose into Harry’s neck. “Holy shit,” he whispered.

aka Louis and Harry have been roommates for four years, comfortable in their routine and their relationship. But all of that is about to change.

🌊 Only by @allwaswell16 {E, 33k}

Although Louis Tomlinson lived most of his life on the most remote island in the world, now he’s ready to leave home, attend university, and maybe have a chance at finding his soulmate. Prince Harry Styles reluctantly leaves London for yet another diplomatic visit, this time to the tiny island of Tristan da Cunha.

Or the one where the electric touch of Louis’ soulmate isn’t enough to discount that he's a bit of a dickhead.

🌊 And That's The Tea by @2tiedships2 {M, 27k}

I’d like an Earl Grey with milk and sugar, please.

Louis had the phrase memorized, even though it had disappeared off its place on his upper arm over thirteen years ago now.

At fourteen he didn’t understand. Soulmarks don’t just disappear. Not unless…

Unless one of them dies.

Or, the one where Louis loses his soulmate before even getting the chance to meet them, and he is in no way prepared for the kind of distraction his new friend Harry proves to be.

🌊 tread lightly on my ground by fairytalelights / @lookslikefairytale {E, 20k}

No, that's the tragic part of this, the part that makes Harry feel like the universe is playing a cruel joke on him. The father of his baby is exactly right, exactly who he always imagined himself having kids with. He just imagined them married, bonded. Happy. He didn't imagine them barely talking, tip-toeing around each other because neither of them is brave enough to talk about what happened between them. He didn't imagine the father of his child not loving him back.

or, the one where Harry is having Louis' baby, but Louis doesn't know it's his.

🌊 please don't be in love with someone else by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze {E, 18k}

Harry ran after Niall, out the door, pausing at the doorway, realizing he was only in his boxer briefs, and yelled out, “Niall! You forgot your lunch.”

Just as Niall paused from all the way down the hall, the door opposite theirs opened and the hottest boy Harry had ever seen walked out, eyes widening when he spotted a half-naked Harry.

Harry was so fixated upon the boy across from him, who was staring right back with his mouth now hanging open, he’d missed it when Niall bounded back towards him and grabbed the lunch before popping a kiss on his cheek and leaving again. The kiss snapped Harry out of his daze and he let out a breathy laugh as the pretty boy walked out furthermore, closing his door behind him. He gave Harry a small smile back, raising his eyebrows in amusement while looking down past Harry’s waist and then back up.

or the one where Harry and Louis are neighbors and there's a lot of overthinking, misunderstandings, Backstreet Boys sing-alongs, embarrassing moments in the hallway, and pining. They somehow still make it work.

🌊 Saw It In Your Eyes by @taggiecb {E, 15k}

Harry Styles counts himself extremely lucky that he has landed such a great roommate. It doesn’t bother him at all that his new roommate is gay. In fact, they get along so well that they have formed an extremely close friendship that takes up pretty much all his free time. When Louis starts bringing a new guy home with him, Harry is surprised by how much it bothers him. Is he not as okay as he thought he was with Louis’ sexuality?

Or the one where Harry is an oblivious walnut.

🌊 Man, Deconstructed by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom {E, 13k}

Harry doesn’t need help getting laid and he certainly doesn’t need Niall to hire a professional to ‘sort him out’.

But when a gorgeous man turns up on his doorstep on his birthday to ‘lay some pipe’ in the back garden (who just happens to have the best arse Harry’s ever seen), his world is upended.

OR the one where a well-meaning best mate, a sculpture-worthy arse, and a heaping dose of misunderstanding combine to create sheer and utter chaos, and also, maybe, the best thing Harry’s ever found.

🌊 Ain't My Fault by @afirethatcannotdie {E, 6k}

“Liam, M4M is for sex! You posted in a sex forum about your missing jacket.”

“It is not for sex!”

“It is. Trust me.”

“Well, if it helps me find my jacket then I don’t really see why it matters. Besides, someone already texted me about it. This Styles guy’s coming over in a bit to get it.”

“You invited the avocado man to come get his jacket at our flat after posting on a sex forum. Do you see where this is going?”

“I really don’t.”

“Someone is going to have to have sex with the avocado man!” Louis screeches, and Liam covers his ears.

AU. Liam posts an ad on the wrong section of Craigslist, Louis is pretty sure they’re gonna get murdered as a result, and Harry’s missing an avocado.

🌊 All The Way Home I'll Be Warm by @justanothershadeofblue {T, 3k,}

Harry & Louis jokingly send out holiday cards together as friends, and now everyone is congratulating them for finally getting together. A 5+1 fic, for Christmas.

🌊 an honest mistake by @disgruntledkittenface {NR, 2k}

“You look different when you’re not covered in come,” he blurts out, immediately regretting each and every life choice that has led to this exact moment. Elevator Guy is going to hate him.

Louis has ridden the elevator with his neighbor all week. The first time they speak, there’s a misunderstanding.

🌊 On the Go by @phdmama {T, 2k}

From this post because I could not resist: ok so i saw a truck today and i thought it said MANSCAPE but it actually said MAINSCAPE and it was a landscaping company. but then i thought LARRY AU. where louis owns a landscaping company called MANSCAPE and harry thinks it’s some sort of in-home pubic hair grooming company, so he calls to make an appointment, there’s some discussion of whether he wants his bushes trimmed as well, and then when it’s time for the appointment, harry’s like half-naked waiting around in a robe or something and louis shows up with lawnmowers.

allwaswell16

A fic rec of my favorite funny/crack One Direction fics as requested in this ask. You can find part one of this rec here. It's been four years since this last crack fic rec, so I've got lots of newer ones to rec! You can find all my other recs here. Happy reading!

- Louis / Harry -

🤣 You Ain’t Gotta Feel Fear Just Mingle by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup

(T, 32k, coworkers) Harry has been at his dream job for less than three months, and he knows two things for sure; first, his project manager doesn't know what he's doing, and second, someone in the office is apparently pure evil, and no one will tell Harry who it is.

🤣 Your Reign is Free (to give along to Santa) by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup

(E, 81k, omegaverse) Omega Harry has always known he'd be married off someday. It's to be expected, given his station. So his betrothal to Prince Louis comes as no surprise.

Happy 28th! Here is my September 2025 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!

A Soft Place to Land by girlfriendrry / @grlfriendrry (112k)

Louis takes a third-grade teaching job in Clover Hill as a favor, mostly because he has nowhere else to go. He lost his job as a sous-chef, and everything else in Chicago fell apart. This Hallmark-channel town feels more like punishment than a fresh start. Louis prepares for the worst ten months of his life.

Until Harry, the art teacher who ribbon laces his sneakers and paints rainbow fences, makes it really easy to get distracted.

Hold Me Like a Knife by devilinmybrain (venomedveins) / @thedevilinmybrain (109k)

Louis ’Blue Eyes’ Tomlinson is a thing of legend, a bit of a mystery really, a shadow in the fringes of the eye. There are rumors around the precinct that he wasn’t even born, just crawled out of the sewage left on the street after a strong storm. No one has ever attributed a good omen or a holy deed to him, not a decent quality to his lot. All except for Harry Styles, socialite butterfly and adopted son of high politician Simon Cowell, who lowers himself every once in a way to hang out with the gang.

When people begin to go missing and winding up mutilated, their parts having been ripped out, it begins a race against time to solve who is behind the attacks and why the bodies keep getting dumped in Louis' territory.

So Pull Me Tight and Close Your Eyes by anditsonlyforthebrave (44k)

“There she is,” Gemma whispers in his ear, and then he turns around.

His eyes land on the man holding Faith, and for a moment his entire world halts. Or maybe it begins. He isn’t quite sure, because the sight before him feels like something pulled from a dream: tanned, soft skin. Curves in all the right places. He isn’t particularly tall, but the jeans he’s wearing cling to his legs in a way that makes Harry’s thoughts drift somewhere they probably shouldn’t. The shirt hugs his chest and his arms like it was made for him, in ways that make Harry's mouth go a bit dry.

°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

Harry is a marine on leave for a few months, Louis is a vet that tries not to think about the past. It just feels right.

Harry Poppins by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom (32k)

When Louis’ best friends pass away he finds himself with an instant family. Maddie and Thomas are wonderful children but take an immediate dislike to every nanny that sets foot inside their house. After nanny number six is summarily dismissed Louis is at his wit’s end, that is until an unusual man arrives on their doorstep. Harry Styles is like nothing any of them have ever encountered before, and perhaps, exactly what they’ve been looking for all along.

When the Sun Won't Let You Sleep by allwaswell16 / @allwaswell16 (31k)

Four years ago, Louis Tomlinson left the UK to live on an Antarctic research station for reasons best left in the past. He’s carved out a life for himself on the ice and has dedicated himself to his research, his friends, and especially the Halley VI research station. He’s less than thrilled when he learns that Harry Styles, a glaciologist from another base who once broke his heart, will be coming to Halley, and he’s definitely unprepared for the upheaval Harry brings with him.

Reasons Why by Neondiamond / @neondiamond (2k)

Harry brings home Louis’ favourite muffins from his bakery. It sparks a conversation about all the reasons they love each other.

🔑 lemon eyes by @turnyourankle

(E, 50k, omegaverse) It's not proper for omegas to mess around with alphas before finding their bondmate. But Harry doesn't give a damn what's proper and fully intends on getting as much experience as he can before even trying to find one.

🔑 Tell Me It’s The Strongest Shape by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf

(E, 73k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw/Elgar Johnson) Nick and Elgar have it all. They’re famous, successful, and engaged to be married—and sometimes they play with others. When uni student Louis gets street cast by Elgar for a GQ photoshoot, he's drawn into Nick and Elgar’s complicated relationship.

🔑 Untamed Hearts by Layne Faire / @laynefaire

(E, 68k, Zayn/Liam) It could have been the heat of the summer sun; it might have been the silvered sheen of an early harvest moon. If he dug deep enough, Liam could find every reason ever needed to explain away what happened. In the end, though, it all came down to two meddling friends, a touch of Prince, a bit of Keats, and the moon over the ocean. Its a recipe for disaster. Or love. Probably love.

🔑 We Used To Wait by sunsetmog / @magicalrocketships

(E, 56k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw) The BBC Breaking News Twitter just says, One Direction star Louis Tomlinson rushed to hospital after M25 car crash.Louis has an accident, but nobody even knows he and Nick are going out.

Rec List: Old Favourites!

Not to be a Swiftie, but we have 13 amazing submissions from 2015 and before, for your reading pleasure! Sorry this list is a bit late but it's been a crazy week and it's only half Taylor Swift's fault.

It's interesting to see how things have changed, but also how things have stayed the same. For instance, a lot of these fics don't have fic posts, as I think it was before they'd become quite as mainstream here. Lots of royalty AUs, sports AUs, musician AUs all stand out in my memory -- though it's hard to say if that's because there were a lot of them, or just a survivorship bias. A couple of these authors are still around, but a lot have moved on to other adventures. Regardless, please show them all the love, and enjoy this trip down memory lane!

Bot (series) by tomlinsunshine/@tornlinsunshine (11883, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: Ambiguous ending

Zayn builds robots; Harry is a big fan of his latest model.

Reccer says: Listen, this is a warning: these fics will fuck you up and you'll never stop thinking about them for the rest of your life. But also, it's worth it.

Wild And Unruly by 100percentsassy/@100percentsassy, gloria_andrews/@gloriaandrews (123655, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: Implied/Referenced Homophobia (very light)

Harry is a cowboy sitting on the biggest oil reservoir in Wyoming, and Louis is the paralegal assigned to pressure him into selling his land.

Reccer says: It has Harry riding horses, Louis being too sassy for his own good, and sexy smut! There's also a great podfic for part of the fic.

leave it to the breeze by hattalove/@hattalove (81459, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: Homophobia, Ben Winston

Louis, Harry and Niall compete in The Great British Bake Off feat. Zayn as producer and Liam as Louis' best friend

Reccer says: It's so well-researched and fun! There's also a great podfic by frecklebombfics

Fall Into Your Gravity by Zarah5/@zarah5 (74004, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

In which Harry is an overnight pop sensation and Louis steals plants, Zayn pulls Liam's proverbial pigtails and Niall's really just pleased there are more girls for him.

Reccer says: It’s got all of zarah5’s brilliant writing with 100% more fluff

Destined for More by karamelised/@karamelised (76589, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson/Liam Payne/Zayn Malik/Niall Horan) – fic post

A very smutty OT5 soulmates fic “where Louis is a bit of a slut, Zayn doesn't like it in the bum, Niall mostly just likes playing the guitar, Liam is like 100% straight, and Harry is a cheeky flirt.

Reccer says: It’s such a fun take on soulmates!

You Take Me Over, You’re the Magic in My Veins by supernope (36036, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

A delightfully sappy medieval royalty au—Louis is intended to marry Princess Gemma but falls for her brother, Prince Harry, instead

Reccer says: It’s so sweet!

My English Love Affair by isthatyoularry/@isthatyoularry (19198, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

“The thing about sleeping with a member of a famous indie band is that the inevitability of having a song written about you is most likely a hundred percent. The second thing is that in the end, nobody's supposed to find out it's about you. The one where Harry writes a song about his English love affair and Louis sleeps with someone in White Eskimo and all he gets is a stupid song written about him.

Reccer says: It’s a brilliantly written little fic—from the sweetest highs to the angst-filled lows.

i’ll crash until you notice me by stylinsoncity /@stylinsoncity (61261, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Louis sets off to Barbados to oversee the massive resort his family owns known as Sandy Hill. For years, he's been looking for a change in the monotony of his life, seeking adventure and perhaps love too. What he doesn't expect is the bright eyed boy who spills a milkshake on his shoes. Cue the summer loving.

Reccer says: A perfect beach-read fic!

Soul Wiped Clean by Star_Henderson/@tommosgun (91000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Harry is a journalist for the Yorkshire Evening Post who is writing a piece on the opening of the expanded Learning Centre at Wetherby Young Offenders Institute. His task: spend 3 weeks shadowing Louis Tomlinson, an ex-con who has been rehabilitated through the existing program, and is now giving back by working in the Learning Centre. Louis is a true success story with a heart of gold, but he’s also shouldering the burden of dark secrets from his past, secrets where his mind has blurred the lines between fictions he has convinced himself of, and the reality of what actually happened. Are the walls Louis has built to protect himself strong enough to withstand 3 weeks in close proximity with a journalist, and more importantly, does he want them to be?

Reccer says: Still one of my absolute favourite comfort fics and I re-read it a couple of times a year. The characterisations are perfect and the uplifting story is one I can’t stay away from for long. I promise you won’t be able to put it down.

Pretty Boy by iwillpaintasongforlou/@canonlarry (33000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Harry's been forced into a high-class prostitution ring because his heroin-addicted mother is too strung out to realize that her boyfriend is pimping out her son. Louis is the crown prince of England and gets into a lot of mischief and thinks it's normal to pay prostitutes to "get a good night's sleep." They probably aren't meant to see each other beyond that one random night, but then again, they probably aren't meant to see each other at all.

Reccer says: I’m such a sucker for not-all-heroes-wear-capes Louis fics. I’m also a fool for Prince Louis fics. And in this story you get both!

If Tomorrow Never Comes (We Had Last Night) by FallingLikeThis/@fallinglikethis + Rearviewdreamer/@all-these-larrythings (15000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Louis accepts the call without bothering to look at the caller ID. Only Zayn would be a big enough asshole to call him at two in the morning. This fucking better be important. “This fucking better be important,” Louis greets. On the other end of the line comes a soft giggle. “Li, you don’t usually curse. I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I like it.” Yeah, that’s not Zayn. Louis sighs, his anger melting into resignation when he realizes that it’s some poor bastard probably drunk dialing his ex or something. “Sorry, mate. Think you’ve got the wrong number.” Based on this Tumblr prompt: "Accidentally called your number while drunk asking for a ride and you actually came au".

Reccer says: Ahhhhhh so wholesome and sweet and fluffy and funny! Definitely a go-to fic when I want something warm and smooshy.

you burn with the brightest flame by sarcasticfluentry (34000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

The X-Factor Era A/B/O fic

Reccer says: The very first ABO fic I read and the reason that this is still my favourite trope.

your love is bright as ever (baby love me lights out) by orphan_account (15000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Louis is a singer/songwriter who platonically kisses his friends. Harry is a late night talk show host who desperately wants to ask Louis if they could maybe kiss not-platonically.

Reccer says: Such a fun, cozy flirtation, but also they're impossible. I don't know how their friends don't just lock them in a room and make them talk about their feelings.

Inspiration Monday

Thanks to @jacaranda-bloom for tagging!

I know it's only mid-September, but this is for a potential advent fic I've started planning and writing over the weekend, with OT5 as flatmates, baker Harry, radio host Louis, and most likely a lot of cheesy Christmas fluff.

Tagging @disgruntledkittenface @crinkle-eyed-boo @skipperxao3 @bananaheathen @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @kingsofeverything and whoever else wants to do this!
