Slow Hands (Slow Days)     |     LadyLondonderry

Harry/Louis   |   9k   |   T

Louis Tomlinson is the new vet hired on at Payne Veterinary Practice, in the middle of the Yorkshire countryside with nothing but rolling hills and farms for miles.

Harry Styles is a resident farmer, with pigs and sheep and beautiful green pasture and a, confusingly, completely empty milking parlour.

Maybe Louis is putting too much thought into this, but he really, really thinks Harry should have cows. And Harry really, really seems to disagree.

Written as part of the Flicker Fic collection inspired by the song “Slow Hands”.

No Going Back by @jacaranda-bloom

Lighthouse Keepers AU / Strangers to Lovers / Explicit / 56k 

Written for the @onedirectionbigbang​

Artistic collaborator @whenthebodiesspeak​

____

Sales reps Harry and Louis are bored with their jobs and their lives. After meeting at a conference in Cardiff they hook up, have a few too many drinks, and jokingly apply to become remote lighthouse keepers. Six months, just the two of them, looking after the southernmost lighthouse off the bottom of Australia. It’s not like their applications will be accepted. Right?

This is the story of how one choice - a left instead of a right, a go instead of a stop, a yes instead of a no - can change the future forever and that sometimes, taking that leap of faith, is worth the risk.

Footballer Louis/Popstar Harry | Rated: General | Words: 5K

Please read tags and warnings!

For years Harry has been waiting for their schedules to click just right. Finding a day where he’ll not only be available but also is the only visitor on the premises has been near impossible.

After three years together and nearly a full year of marriage, Harry has finally been permitted to sit in for one of the team’s practices. They get more than they bargained for.

This is a gift for @hometothecanyonmoon for the @secretlarryvalentine event! Thank you so much for the prompt, it was lovely and I enjoyed writing this! I hope you enjoy it as well! 💖

Too Young To Know  (35k) by 2tiedships2

Louis blinked awake and quickly wiped the tears from his eyes. This was the second morning in a row he had woken up after dreaming about Harry.

“Babe, what’s wrong?” Eric asked as he held Louis tighter in his arms. Louis liked being the little spoon, except for when he’d rather be holding someone else. Which were the past two days.

Or the one where Harry doesn’t present as an alpha… until he does.

Sometimes, Harry thinks, there’s something there. The spark in his belly isn’t just happening to him, surely. Surely Louis feels that rush too, that blossoming heat in his blood when their fingers brush.

But no. No, Louis treats Harry like a best friend—and it’s an amazing thing, so wonderful, Harry wouldn’t trade his friendship with Louis for anything—and there’s no room for anything else. Not between them.

But Louis adores Niall. It’s the clearest thing in the world, obvious in their comfort together. Harry and Louis still have something that keeps them from that, something making things more loaded with possibility, more intense. Like magnets with the same pole, an invisible force pushing them back—maybe that’s Harry’s crush, a barrier keeping them apart. Louis and Niall’s friendship is easy, whatever is between Louis and Harry is something else. Weighted.  

Which is fine. It’s good. Niall clearly loves Louis back, so it’s great.

And Harry can just keep lying to himself for the rest of eternity.

Louis and Barbara Tomlinson are twin brother and sister. Harry’s in love with Louis, Niall’s in love with Barbara, and they both go by Tommo. It gets a little confusing.

sip it slowly and pay attention (13k)

“So I’ve got a guy I think you might like,” Louis says. He’s standing in the doorway of Harry’s office, drinking from what is most definitely Harry’s mug. “You’re going to set me up?” Harry asks, rightfully wary. He can’t imagine that this could end well. “Don’t look so afraid.” Louis takes a sip from his mug, wincing as it burns him. Harry rolls his eyes. He’s always warning Louis to be more patient before he loses all his taste buds. “I know you better than anyone else. Who better to set you up on dates than me?” “I guess you’re right,” Harry says, still slightly hesitant. It’s not that he doesn’t trust Louis, but. He doesn’t trust Louis’ taste. Louis has about the same track record with men that Harry does, if not quite as extensive.

or, harry is a guidance counselor, louis is an english teacher, and harry just wants to go on one successful date

Ocean Tides

Summary: 

“This won’t be weird, right? I mean, between us. I don’t know if you know, but I’m directing—”

“I know. Why would it be weird?” Harry blinked with faux nonchalance.

They were still standing quite close together.

Louis squinted at him. “Because we fucked,” he replied.

Harry choked at Louis’ bluntness. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks. Feeling supremely ill-equipped to confront the mixed feelings in his chest brought by the memory of the night he had shared with Louis, he coughed into his hand and cleared his throat before replying, “That was weeks ago. We’re both adults. I don’t think you need to worry about that.”

Louis watched him with unwavering scrutiny.

“Besides,” Harry added, “it didn’t mean anything.”

That caused a reaction. Louis snorted, “I guess it didn’t.”

Harry nods, not trusting his words. Slowly, he crawls under the covers of his bed, all too aware that Louis is doing the same, so close to him. Initially, he faces his desk, not looking at Louis, but after a few minutes he gets uncomfortable and turns over. Now, he’s only a foot from Louis’ face, and Louis has turned around too.

He doesn’t think Louis is asleep already, and it’s confirmed when Louis’ eyes blink open sleepily. Harry looks at Louis, and Louis looks at him. Really looks. 

“Can you see me?” Louis whispers. 

Harry doesn’t understand the question, not really, but nods anyway. “Yeah, I see you.”

Louis works at a lonely community garden, Harry is the upstanding fraternity man who makes it all feels a little less lonely. Over the course of a semester, that is.

“Does she know who it is then, from the New York office?” Louis enquires.

“Yeah, some guy Henry? Henry Styles I think she said?“

“Harry.”

“What?”

“Harry. His name is Harry Styles.” His heart sank. Louis hadn’t met him, they had only shared a couple of emails back and forth, but he knew exactly who he was. And Harry hadn’t just been killing it in the Big Apple, he’s been ripping the place to absolute shreds, nailing some of the most lucrative accounts in the business.

Louis is so fucked.

The one where Louis is up for a promotion, he just has one tiny, little problem standing in his way.

11k | harry/louis | by tofiveohfive

Louis doesn’t know nearly enough about science and the cosmos to explain how every atom in his being stands to attention; how his body immediately knows who he’s bumped into.

It’s somewhat underwhelming when the first word he hears out of Harry’s mouth after twelve months is, “Oh.”
