Harry & Louis Quality Fics

Blog to sort all the Larry fanfiction I've read. This blog is mostly for myself, but feel free to follow if you want to find fics to read. Eventually I want to create a moodboard for every fic I post. But that takes a long time - time I currently don't have. Since I still want to clean up my folders and file the fics on here, I'm just going to post them without moodboards for a while.

(Won’t You) Stay To The AM

Title: (Won’t You) Stay To The AM

Length: 1 Chapter (15.5K)

Summary: Harry tucked a few loose strands back up into the bun on top of his head and headed to the front of the building. He really would rather no one saw him behind the gym where he worked if possible so they wouldn't have a chance to catch on that the address he gave for work was actually his friend Ed’s and the number belonged to his buddy Niall. Harry didn’t like the term homeless, because he was making at least some money now and he was actively looking for a better gig so he could actually afford at least a bed in this massive city, but that’s basically what he was. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, he knew that, sometimes shit just happened and this was how it turned out, but he also didn’t want to broadcast his situation if he didn’t have to either. Especially if Louis Tomlinson, Britain's most talented young actor, was going to be frequenting Harry's place of employment on a regular basis.

Resist Everything Except Temptation

Title: Resist Everything Except Temptation

Length: 10 Chapters (100K)

Summary: The lethargic sound of heels clicking against wood resonated across the sea. Footsteps descended the staircase, every assured step creating a menacing aura as it grew closer. Perspiration gathered along Louis’ palms as the rhythmic sound halted in front of him.“Captain,” Malik greeted.Louis watched out of his peripheral as Malik’s boots shuffled back a few steps. Sweat matted the hair along the nape of Louis’ neck as he waited for something to happen. He felt as if a sharp blade was twisting his gut as the silence became tangible. There was a metallic slide of a sword being pulled out of its sheath, the sound startling Louis out of his cocoon of sterile shock. His shoulders jumped as the tip of a blade flattened underneath his jaw. Louis’ distorted reflection stared back at him in the polished metal. Engraved rose petals twisted his appearance as they crawled up the length of the sword. The sword lifted and took Louis’ chin with it.Standing in front of Louis was Captain Styles.

OR: The one where Louis is the commodore’s son who is forced to become a part of Harry’s crew when he is captured.

Summary: Harry's speechless. Apollo’s just revealed he has a thing for mortals, himself specifically, and it's the most connected to his Greek mythology class that he's ever felt. How does one react when gods reveal such a thing? Do they bow? Do they flirt back? Do they just drop to their knees in awe? He's not sure, but he can only do his best with what he's given, which is currently a wet, blushing, naked boy gripping his towel with all his might while poetically side-eyeing Harry's next move.
