Louis paints on walls when he’s sad. Then someone paints with him.
the wonderlands by @aliensingucci (150k)
Harry’s daughter, Andy, is signed to Louis’ girl band. Her path to success is marked by competition, chaos, and for Harry, a love affair.
The Morning After the Night Before by @londonfoginacup (4k)
Harry and Louis have more or less grown up together, even now as adults it’s tradition for their families to spend a few weeks in the summer at a beach house together.
Problem One: Louis has been in love with Harry forever.
Problem Two: It wont stop raining.
Waiting for Wonderful by @becomeawendybird (13k)
The university class where he met Louis was the beginning of the end for Harry. It took all of an hour for him to figure out that he was in love with Louis, and there was no way around it. It was a part of his DNA; he was tall, he had green eyes, and he was in love with Louis Tomlinson. Louis was his soulmate, and they were going to be together. Eventually.
Harry is willing to wait as long as he needs to for his best friend to realise that they’re supposed to be together, but it kills him to watch Louis struggle in his relationship with Mackenzie. All Harry wants to do is be supportive, and sometimes that’s all it takes.
In All Its Imperfections by @briannamarguerite (15k)
From: Louis Tomlinson
To: Undisclosed Recipients
I’ve asked the front desk and you lovely folks are the ones who are on the same level as me in the car park. I found a to-do list today that looked somewhat important because it lines of poetry scribbled at the bottom that seemed like they might be for a card project. The stationary has a moose in a canoe at the top of it (and he is quite adorable). Let me know if it’s yours!
Or the one where Harry creates a dirty To-Do list starring his co-worker Louis, and Louis finds it.
One Day, Maybe Next Week by @flamboyantommo (6k)
Louis was staring at him, expecting a response, and Harry was supposed to be the one coming up with that response, and he was so not prepared, so he blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
Or, the one where Harry just really wants to talk to Louis. And when he finally does, everything he says just comes out wrong.

Louis is psychic and gets caught in the middle of a murder investigation led by FBI Special Agent Harry Styles.
aka. the Medium/Criminal Minds-inspired AU no one ever asked for.
we can meet again somewhere by @harrystinyshorts (8k)
“I don’t even know who he is, Niall! I just want to know his name or some - ”
“So why do you keep fucking blushing while talking about him!”“You know what, fuck off! I’m gonna find him myself!”
or, The morning after his party Harry wakes up naked on his bed, and there is a Polaroid photo of a stranger right beside him. Harry wants to know who is this tiny little boy that has soft fringe and a smile from heaven. He has endless hope.
Like One of Your French Girls by @elsi_bee (46k)
Harry thumbs through his sketchpad before he stops on a blank page. He looks Louis over for a moment, seemingly studying him. It’s a odd feeling, even if it is what Louis signed up for, just sitting in a crowd in broad daylight while a stranger looks him up and down.
Louis is the subject of Harry’s first year art project, and what starts as an assignment blossoms into a friendship. It’s unfortunate that only one of them wishes it could be more.
A Story For the Ages by @suddenclarityharry (7k)
Louis is sweating, his mother’s words still ringing in his ears.
We expect you to bring this boy home for Christmas, Louis. We want to meet him.
He should have known it was coming. After seven months of pretending to have a boyfriend in order to keep his mum from meddling in his love life again, he should have realized he’d have to actually introduce her to someone eventually.
Fireproof by @justalittlelouislove (26k)
After managing to survive everything Louis’s thrown at him over the past decade, Harry thinks he’s seen it all. That is until he comes home to a dragon egg in his living room. Together, Louis and Harry learn a little about co-parenting mythical creatures and a lot about themselves.
Waiting On You by @lads-laddylads (76k)
“Vampires,” Louis says with disgust, glaring over at the vampire who is noisily slurping from the woman’s neck nearby.
Zayn gives the neat fang marks on Louis’ neck a meaningful look.
“Can’t live with them, can’t live without them,” Louis finishes, ignoring Zayn when he rolls his eyes.
Louis takes a long sip of his milkshake, presses his fingers against the marks on his neck, and definitely doesn’t think about the vampire who left them there.
Friendly Neighborhood Spideypool by @shitucute (18k)
“Don’t fuck with me, I’m not in the mood.” Louis’ got the urge to punch him in the face, but he knows deep down that if anything it’ll just add fuel to Harry’s innuendo fire.
“You know I only fuck you, not with you. There’s a difference. It’s slight but still there.” He’s joking, but it’s sincere in a way that only Deadpool could make it. It gives Louis a strange mix of emotions, his body doesn’t know whether to fill with butterflies or to knee Deadpool in the balls again for insinuating them fucking.
or, Harry is Deadpool and Louis is Spider-Man and they’ve got way too much history
I’ve Got You To Believe In by @louiswolves
Harry is an alien, undercover as a human, with some help from Niall. Louis is high, which is apparently all it takes to blow an alien’s cover.
Anywhere With You by @darlou
AU where Harry gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with Louis Tomlinson during a blackout. Inspired by Chandler and Jill Goodacre from Friends.
