IMPOSTER MUSIC VIDEO by Louis Tomlinson

[holdingontochaos]

~Untethered~

73k || a/b/o || Complete || Explicit

Written for the @bottomlouisficfest 2025

The foundation of Louis’ predictable, quiet life is shattered when his alpha demands they open their marriage out of the blue. His reluctance and denial of his new reality shackle him until he finally allows himself to give in and experiment with some long-forgotten desires. It’s with chance and luck that he meets Harry, a charming, sexy alpha who shows him what actual unconditional love can really feel like. The only trouble is, Louis' still married, and his open marriage is meant to be temporary. - Or: Louis is forced to open his marriage, which inevitably leads him to falling in love with the alpha that changes his life.

Omega Louis || Alpha Harry || Open Marriage || Angst || Jealousy || Strangers to fuck buddies to lovers

[howdidigethereficfest]

Coming soon...

🍋 Rules and schedule will be up in the next few days

Writing goals of 2026

I was tagged by @bluegreen28fics and I think it's a nice idea. It can help clarify the mess in my mind!

1) Finish my angst fest 2025 fic - asap. I think it's going well and I'm excited. It's another royal AU bc of course it is. Someone told me they're not very common in our fandom these days but oh well. I guess if there's no audience for it there's always me rereading.

2) Finish the Rogue Omega sequel - which is around 20k now. I honestly find it unbelievable that people really liked that fic. While I was writing the first part I faceplanted in despair more than once. Anyway I had to stop writing the sequel because I had some fest fics to write. Which leads to...

3) Don't overcommit. I get too excited about fest prompts but realistically I'm a slow writer with limited time due to stupid adulthood.

Alternatively, pace myself better. Write as much as I realistically can, within healthy limits.

[A personal goal for me is to set stricter boundaries at work so I can squeeze in a little more time to write daily]

4) There’s this soulmate ff I started about 7-8 years ago when I was just a quiet reader afraid of interaction. The RL friends I talked about it with aren't even in this fandom anymore. Still, I want to finish it. I think it's got potential.

5) I've eyed a @louisrarepairfest prompt for the last two years and it won't leave my mind. Perhaps I should aim to make this the year to finally write it.

And maybe...

6) There's a short ff of mine people have told me they wished it were longer. I had to edit it massively bc I came down with covid and didn't have time to write everything I wanted to include. I have some deleted scenes from a different POV. And these days I'm thinking eh, why not just give it a POV sequel it now the fest is over and it won't leave my mind.

Wow. I didn’t realize there was so much to reflect on!

Happy 2026 to anyone who's here visiting 🤗

All the Zourry Fic Fest fics in one convenient place!

all our bruised bodies and the whole heart shrinks by shinyblueeyes wordcount: 32.7k rating: explicit

“Was your invite serious? For dinner?” “One-hundred percent,” Zayn says, nodding. “Louis won’t mind?” Harry checks. “Please,” Zayn scoffs, laughing again. “He’ll be more than thrilled if you show up in our kitchen. Add to that that you can cook, he may never let you leave.” I wouldn't mind that, Harry wants to say. Would you keep me forever? Would you let me stay?  He doesn’t say any of these things.

just for you (all for you) by wholelottahistory wordcount: 3.2k rating: not rated

Zourry fic prompt: 'just a bit of fluff. Louis and Zayn giving Harry a bit of a pampered princess day.'

have you ever tried this one? by lust4louis wordcount: 8k rating: explicit

“I’ll have to say Zayn and Louis,” he settled on, leaning in with a sweet smile. His lashes fluttered slowly, glitter catching the lights like stardust as he glanced towards the cameras. “Both?” the woman blinked. “At the same time,” he added, letting out a giggle. “I think that’s a fun experience no girl should miss out on.” or based on the prompt where harry gets asked in an interview which member of a band he would date and he says both at the same time.

luck comes in threes by crissyfleur wordcount: 20.4k rating: explicit

Someone once said luck was believing you were lucky. Louis had always believed that person was a fucking lunatic. Or worse: an optimist. Whoever said that had clearly never met Louis Tomlinson. And now Louis had to live with the fact Zayn and Harry had fucked on the same counter he made his sandwiches and had to pretend he was fine with it. Pretend it didn’t get under his skin, knowing Harry’s perfect mouth had been Zayn’s to kiss, bite, and fuck open. That Harry had been told to obey and had done it. For Zayn, not for him. That Zayn had slapped that arse, made him come, owned every bit of him, while Louis had been stuck in his room with his own hand. He’d have to live with it. Bad luck, plain and simple.

can't take my eyes off you, baby by @tracksuitponytail wordcount: 8k rating: explicit

Louis comes to see Zayn's show in Los Angeles. What starts as friends reconnecting, smoking on the tour bus, turns into a special walk down memory lane when Harry calls. After all, Zayn has always wondered... What if?

you know i'll take you to another world by tommosgotabangerr wordcount: 10.5k rating: explicit

The door swings open with a flourish of coconut swelling into the hallway. Harry’s face lifts into a smile when he sees louis then instantly drops down into a frown when he sees the frantic look on Louis’ face. “Louis? Whats going o-” Harry stops mid sentence as he takes a breath in and gets a whiff of apples in the air. His eyes widen and he stares at Louis in disbelief. “Help me” Louis whines shyly his hands fidgeting infront of him. “Louis… are you…” Harry continues to stare at Louis with his mouth agape. “An omega? Apparently. I just presented and I don’t know what to do. I can’t get ahold of my mom and-“ Louis cuts himself off when Harry’s hand reaches out and lands on his shoulder with a gentle squeeze, Harry smiling down at him sympathetically. “It’s okay Louis. I’ve had many heats, I just had one last week actually. I’ll help you”

three's a charm by @mmmmmmariiaa wordcount: 18.2k rating: explicit

Zayn's new neighbours have a lot of sex. And that's fine, honestly. They sound hot and he might have jerked off to them once or twice. No harm done, right? It's just that they make a lot of noise and it's compromising his sleep. One night when he's finally reached his breaking point, he marches over and knocks on their door. He might get more than he bargained for, though.

sunrise and your sins by @sunflower-sue wordcount: 16k rating: explicit

Let's get naked and explore…. We are planning a series of masterclasses, and looking for anyone who would be willing to lead a presentation. The sky is the limit. Teach safe spanking, show off your sub, lead a meditation—we want it all. Sign up below & we will be in contact! See you soon? Dusk Til Dawn 🌖 Zayn owns Dusk Til Dawn, a high end BDSM club for all kinds of spicy play. He can't help but be tempted by the nipple play demonstration by frequent club members Harry and Louis.

wellspring of pleasure by gricha wordcount: 9.3k rating: explicit

"Suck me off, show me what you've learned." "You look so good with a cock on your lips, babe." alpha louis and his omega, harry, try to teach zayn how to have good sex without dying (or embarrassing himself) in the process and it turns out better than expected.

only bought this dress (so you could take it off) by wholelottahistory wordcount: 3.2k rating: mature

Zourry fic prompt: ‘Harry wants to start wearing dresses and embracing his feminine side, but he’s afraid that his boyfriends Zayn and Louis will leave him when they find out’ Or: Harry wants to start wearing dresses but is scared of being judged.. his thoughts soon change

tous ces visages by @forwhatiam wordcount: 5.7k raiting: not rated

When Zayn tells Louis about the girl in his language class with a small fortune hidden away in her home, the three hatch a plot to steal the money for themselves…

i'll be like one of your girls by @emilarry wordcount: 14.2k rating: explicit

Zayn and Louis are both 100% totally straight. However, being on the road is lonely and Harry's kind of like a girl…

Chuwre: Uptown Babies by littleohs wordcount: 6.8k rating: explicit

don't feel guilty kissing other people by @loveislarryislove wordcount: 14.8k rating: explicit

When Harry introduces his husband Louis to his new boyfriend, there's just one problem: it's Louis' ex, Zayn. After some conversations, they decide to see where things go. And as Louis watches his husband falling deeper in love with Zayn, he slowly realizes that Harry isn't the only one catching feelings.

market research by @louislittletomlintum wordcount: 26.6k rating: explicit

"Well that's the thing," Zayn replied, rubbing his face as he tried to phrase it. "It's just - it's actually… well," Zayn paused, then sighed. "Do you guys think lads would find me attractive?" Zayn wasn't entirely prepared for the looks that the pair of them gave him, synchronised and… dumbfounded, if he had to put a name to it. Jaws marginally dropped, eyes disbelieving. Louis snapped out of it first. "Are you a fucking idiot, bro?" Louis scoffed, eyes flicking over Zayn's face to the point he felt scrutinised. "I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer."

An Alpha’s Prayer

Author: loretheloner

Pairing: Harry/Louis

Word count: 15k

Summary:

Pray.

He couldn’t pray for love for himself, like most alphas did when they came to this temple. So he prayed that the omega would somehow love his pack and not harm them. That this would work out.

He prayed for salvation.

-

Written for the Alpha Harry fic fest 2025. Prompt 41. The Styles pack is threatened. Their defiance of tradition and their rejection of the Omega Temple's commands make them dangerous in the eyes of those in power. To appease their enemies, the Styles' Pack Alpha accepts to receive an omega from one of the enemy packs and make them his Luna as a sign of good faith.

Written for the @alphaharryff 2025

This is my last fic for the year. Thank you all so much for giving my stories a chance in 2025 🤍

Defenceless Kingdom

Author: loretheloner

Pairing: Louis/Harry

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 65k

Summary: Rival kingdoms ruled by the Styles and the Tomlinsons are forced to form an alliance and decide to have their heirs marry as quickly as possible. The only problem with that is that Harry is already in a relationship, Louis doesn't believe in marriage, and they both absolutely despise each other.

Work your magic

Louis is the town witch who doesn't believe in (his) magic and Harry is a badly injured fairy who is found unconscious in the forest and needs his help to heal.

Happy Fan Fic Writer Appreciation Day 2025!

The first lines of some amazing fics by some of my favorite 1D writers! Since I've done this post for so many years, this year I limited it to fics that were published in the last year or so. Please check out the past years' lists here where you'll find even more incredible writers! Thank you to every writer in our fandom for your gifts of fic to us all!

The moon was peeking at Louis’ wolf form as he crossed into the Styles pack’s territory.

Louis tapped his fingers against his thigh, anxious for the meeting to move along.

“God, it’s good to see you again.”

Louis sighed, his mug clinking on the counter when he set it down as he caught sight of a freshly showered Harry casually strolling back to his room naked. 

Holding therapy sessions through a thick haze of incense in the living room of the therapist’s apartment isn’t the most conventional of choices, but it was one of the reasons Louis warmed up to the concept. 

“This one, right?”

Louis woke slowly.

It had always seemed so easy and straightforward.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Harry Styles sat with his head leaning against the wall, crackling the strawberry gum he was chewing while watching the athletic fields.

When the clock strikes midnight on the eve of December 24th, Louis Tomlinson’s birthday present starts singing out the song of the summer tanager.

Louis takes note of the cars lining the drive at Pembley House — five or six shiny posh numbers — and it’s nearly enough to send him back the way he came.

“Louis William Tomlinson, will you please quit rolling up your sleeves like that!”

It happened again.

It’s Friday the 13th.

Harry steps through the back door and out into the garden.

“This is my first live, so please be kind in the comments,” Harry says, squinting one eye, the live feed wobbling on Louis’ laptop screen as Harry apparently steadies his phone.

Growing up, Louis thought love wasn’t real.

Harry is not afraid to admit that she's a rather superstitious person.

Nesting was supposed to come naturally to omegas, but for Louis it never had.

The dappled multicoloured light, shining through the ornate stained glass window above the altar floods the grey flagstone floor.

Liam glances around the stuffy conference room, as he shifts a little uncomfortably in his chair.

Zayn doesn’t even notice the lift stopping.

The semester just started and he’s already over it.

Just put a sign on the window that says - not having a breakdown, im just here for the kid!

L: i know you like the blue shirt but that doesn't scream third date does it

Louis isn't sure if he actually has the aisle seat or not when he flops down in row twenty-three of the fourth plane that he has boarded in the last thirty-six hours.

Harry woke up with a smile on his face.

Louis sighs, unsatisfied, and wipes his sticky hand on a tissue after coming all over his belly.

Male, 30, can travel within the greater Manchester area

Harry knows exactly what having Louis’ attention does to an alpha.

Louis sank his hands into soft brown curls and tugged.

On Louis’ twenty-first birthday, he gets a call from the National Secondary Gender Services.

The first time Louis realised he might actually be in love with Harry Styles, was over a half-burnt piece of toast and an unreasonably charming bedhead.

Louis Tomlinson took a deep breath of the fresh air.

In all honesty, Harry had no idea what he was getting himself into this weekend.

Sweat drips down Harry’s temples as Louis leaps in the air. 

“I really don’t want to go,” Harry complains.

The click of the lighter breaks the silence, followed by a faint hiss, an eager inhale drawing the smoke into waiting lungs, a soft exhale releasing tendrils of gray into the still air.

Harry sits in his bedroom window, binoculars pressed tight to his face as he stares across the street. 

“You know what fuck you Louis, I’ve had it. We're done!”

“We’re sorry, the Demon you’re trying to summon is currently unavailable. Your ritual is important to us. Please hold--”

Harry winds a finger into one of the curls that grazes his shoulder as he stares at the jars of colored ribbons on the table in front of him. 

Liam narrowed his eyes from across the bar table.

Harry Styles sits in a discreet corner of the restaurant in the Sunset Tower Hotel in L.A., which seems a fitting venue to get to know the brightest upcoming star in LaLa land.

All things considered, Harry felt like he sort of had his life figured out. 

Waking up with the sun in his eyes seemed to be a regular occurrence.

There’s no greater love in the world than a soulmate.

“Morning, Louis."

Listen. LISTEN.

There’s a certain kind of chaos that lives inside the brain of a fanfiction writer, and it goes by one name: Too Many Ideas™.

Like, oh, you wanted a quiet Sunday afternoon to finally finish chapter eight of that slow burn you started three years ago? Too bad. Your brain has just handed you a 47 chapter enemies-to-lovers AU set in a haunted library with a minor subplot about cursed books and an emotionally devastating backstory involving a ghost. And guess what? It won’t leave you alone until you write the outline. ALL OF IT. Including the bonus epilogue that takes place ten years later and will make three people cry (you at least hope it do... it made you cry thinking about it after all. You need comoany on tears land).

Meanwhile, your docs look like a graveyard of beginnings. Half-finished scenes. Dialogue with no context. One document that just says “They kiss in the rain but make it hurt” What does that even mean, Past Me? Were you okay?

And don’t get me started on the Notes app. That cursed abyss contains pure chaos energy. Half a grocery list. Three lines of angsty monologue. One suspicious bullet point that just says “feral but romantic.” (and not even on a werewolf plot line... what Past Me was thinking there?). And then a paragraph that’s probably the best thing you’ve ever written and you'll never be able to find it again.

And every time you do try to commit to finishing something, another idea shows up like an over-caffeinated squirrel (yes, the one in that movie) holding a plot twist. “Hi! Hello! What if your characters were trapped in a snowstorm with only one blanket and unresolved feelings???” And you're like, STOP. I’M STILL TRYING TO RESOLVE THE ACCIDENTAL MARRIAGE ARC IN THE SPACE PIRATE STORY. (No, I didn't have a space pirate story before I started writing this rant... BUT NOW I DO HAVE AN IDEA. DAMN IT).

Also, the dreams.

Oh yes.

Normal people dream of flying or forgetting their pants. You? You wake up at 3 a.m. with a full cinematic trailer of a fic idea you’ll never have time to write. And instead of sleeping, you're like, “Yeah, I can just jot this down real quick,” and now it’s 5 a.m. and you’ve created an entire alternate universe, six side characters, a moodboard, and a Spotify playlist.

You don’t need a muse.

You need a manager.

Someone to stand behind you with a clipboard going, “No. Finish the one with the emotional confession in the rain. No more bakery AUs until that’s done.”

But no one’s coming.

It’s just you and the brain squirrels.

So yeah. Too many ideas. Not enough lifetimes. Probably haunted by your own imagination.

But hey. At least you're never bored.

Yesterday I was too tired to keep writing and it was midnight. I decided to go to bed, but I had and idea for the next scene, so I made sure to write it down. This is what I typed in my notes app:

H talks about it

So, yeah. I can relate to everything in this post.
