Summary: In which Louis has spent twenty-nine years trying to wrangle his aggressive feline familiar, Zayn has spent twenty-eight years trying to discover how to live a familiar-less existence in a world built on soulmate-familiar principles, and a coffee shop encounter might solve both of their problems.
(Based on Prompt 96: soulmate au where everyone has a familiar and your familiar has to find their soulmate in order for you to be able to find yours. too bad yours happens to hate all other animals and leaves the room as soon as another familiar enters it.)
“Dear diary. Today is going to be a good day, and here’s why…”
“What are you doing?” Louis mumbled as he bit into a piece of toast.
“It’s been almost two years and today Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson reunite. Louis is very excited about…”
Louis’ chair screeched along the kitchen floor as he flew up out of his seat, quickly grabbing the paper from Niall’s grasp. As he scanned the page he found it amounted to lines of nothing.
“What is this?” Louis asked again. “We’ve discussed how Harry Styles will never be spoken of in this flat. I don’t care how long it’s been.”
Niall snatched the paper from Louis and proceeded to draw a line across the page before writing.
“Today is the day that he-who-shall-not-be-named is coming to dinner.”
Or the one where Harry and Louis don’t believe in soulmates… until they do.
As the world’s most renowned forensic anthropologist, Dr Harry Styles is used to dealing with the dead, taking comfort in the silence and isolation.
Until Special Agent Louis Tomlinson of the FBI comes crashing into his life, causing chaos and confusion wherever he lands.
Despite Harry’s best efforts, working murder cases together brings Louis further and further through the walls he’s spent years carefully building.
Until a case that changes everything.
Or, the Bones AU no one asked for featuring Louis as Booth, Harry as Brennan, Zayn as Angela, Liam as Hodgins, and Niall as Sweets.
Summary: For the first time in his life, Louis doesn’t know where he’s going. Harry doesn’t mind.
OR: roadtrip with desert feelings, too much snack food, and empty motels. Harry is definitely absolutely not an alien. That would be ridiculous.

a day late but happy new years! what better way to start 2019 than w/some alien!zayn?
“Operation Icarus is a no go! I repeat Operation Icarus has been compromised.”
Zayn’s three hearts plummet to xir feet as Niall’s shout crackles through the walkie talkie.
Louis’ grim face hardens when he replies, “Agent Horan, come in. What’s your status? What’s happened?”
“Fuck! Fucking shit!” The radio cuts in and out with static. Zayn feels faint, and xe doesn’t think it’s from Earth’s shitty atmosphere.
Even as his knuckles turn white with how tightly he’s gripping the table, Louis’ voice remains calm. “Agent Horan, what’s going on out there?”
Harry shifts uneasily beside Zayn, leaning in for comfort. The humans can’t see enough dimensions to see how Zayn curls one wing around Harry’s shoulders, but xe knows Harry, despite being half human, inherited the eighth sense and can feel the reassuring pressure through the folds of space. They nudge Zayn gratefully.
“Payne’s been compromised!” Niall yells into the speaker, voice distorting halfway through. “I’ve got him, but they’re right on our tail. Everyone needs to evacuate now!”
“Fuck,” Louis growls under his breath because the plan goes to shit if their inside man gets outed. It was difficult enough trying to sneak two intergalactic beings off Earth without the bloody government up their arse. “Horan, you and Payne need to disappear if you’re that hot. Split up if you must, but try to stick together. But we’re going through with Icarus.” Zayn snaps xir surprised gaze onto Louis, this rough-and-tumble human who lost his entire family to hostile aliens but still dedicates his life to saving interstellar refugees like Zayn and Harry from the xenophobic government. “We’ve come too far,” Louis insists. “This is our only shot for the next half century. A solar eclipse and Zayn’s planet drifting this close to our solar system, we won’t get this opportunity again.”
“It’s a fucking suicide mission,” Niall snaps. Something explodes on his end of the line, and Zayn winces. “It’s too risky.”
“It’s suicide if they stay, and it’s suicide if we try. I, for one, would rather die trying,” Louis retorts. Harry tenses at Zayn’s side when Louis throws the walkie talkie down. It doesn’t have time to skitter to the floor before the warehouse base they’ve holed up in explodes in a deafening flash of fire and light.
Harry wore his hair down, brushed until it shone, pushed back and carefully tousled out of his face. It was a little cold for his shirt to be so unbuttoned, but it felt rare to get to dress up and not wear his chefs whites that he bakes in every day. He was wearing black-on-black, and had been careful not to accidentally get flour on himself on his way out the door.
Harry had gotten to the cafe first, apparently, and had ordered an iced coffee while he waited for Tom to get there. He had a rose in a copy of Norwegian Wood set out on the table. The signal that they had agreed on. Under the table, his foot kept bouncing, keeping in time with the spikes of anxiety that he was feeling.
Tom was late.
He’d messaged Harry to let him know, but he could arrive at any moment, and Harry’s shaky hands had almost knocked over his iced coffee about five times.
At four fifteen, he almost jumped out of his skin when he heard the door open. But it wasn’t Tom. He only knew that it wasn’t Tom because it was Louis. Why was it fucking Louis? Shit. Fuck. Harry tried to casually hide himself behind his hand so Louis wouldn’t see him there. Why was he here, ruining yet another part of Harry’s life?
*
The bakery Harry inherited from his grandmother is on the brink of going out of business. The new coffee shop opening up across the street is sure to be the final nail in the coffin. To add insult to injury, the coffee shop general manager is extremely attractive. Harry’s only comfort during this nightmare is his internet crush. A You’ve Got Mail AU.
When Louis discovers his husband is having an affair that could ruin his future, he recruits the most qualified person he knows to bring him down: Harry Styles, the asshole who's been pining after Louis' husband since university and somehow thinks no one has noticed. Now Harry has to choose between protecting his unrequited love or helping Louis destroy him.

“What do you reckon?” Zayn asked him curiously.
“What? About you?” Louis countered, raising an eyebrow and rolling a bit of the beer sticker between his fingertips.
“Yeah,” Zayn shrugged. He squeezed his ankle, causing a small shiver to run through Louis’ leg.
“Reckon you could be,” Louis shrugged back, side-eyeing Zayn and smirking a bit cheekily when he saw that his joke landed, still pretending like his beer label was much more interesting than Zayn.
“Reckon I could be what?” Zayn pressed, clearly willing to play.
“Could be lovely,” Louis answered, looking back up at him. “Could be an arsehole, dunno. Would have to know you a bit better before I could say,”
or the one where louis winds up dating zayn whilst also dating harry. it's okay though, since harry is also dating zayn. maybe they should all just date one another and be done with it.
💚 Nothing's Ever Set In Stone by lululawrence / @lululawrence
= Pedro/Louis | 8,7K | Not Rated =
Unknown: Hey, is this Louis? I’m Pedro, the owner of the car you hit this morning
After a quick back and forth during which Louis apologized repeatedly, he thought that would be it. He was glad that Pedro was being so nice about it, but he figured they'd said everything they needed to and it would probably come to a close soon with Louis never hearing from him again. Which was fine.
Maybe if they ever ran into each other and figured out who the other was while in the neighborhood, they could be somewhat friendly. They weren’t incredibly close to each other, but Louis walked past the guy’s house at least a few times a week with Clifford, usually in the evening before bed. It wasn’t completely out of the realm of possibility.
But the conversation didn’t end. At least, not the way Louis expected it to.

“But if we do that, you have to be absolutely sure,” Harry emphasised, pinning Louis down with a serious look.
“Of course, I'm sure. I said so, didn't I?” Louis confirmed, holding Harry's gaze and nodding intently. “I'm sure, Haz. I promise.”
“Okay, but…” Harry swallowed and a frown formed between his brows. “I need you to promise me something else…”
Louis looked a bit puzzled, a bit tense, but nodded slightly, “Of course, H. What is it?”
“You need to promise me to never fall in love with me.” Harry said nervously, fiddling with his rings.

Harry has never felt like this before. Not ever. Not with anyone. It confuses the hell out of him. And he's not so sure he's happy about it. What's he supposed to do now?

One by one they returned to him. From the depths of a raging ocean he’d found Harry, not a ripple of disturbance visible on the surface of the boy who used to be a monsoon. Niall whirled in the wind and a charge in the air, his presence translucent and as prone to whim as his judgment. And despite the biting scorch of Louis’s combustible anger, his temperamental flame still held warmth.
The four of them together after decades of separation should have been grounding, and yet Liam felt like a cave on the brink of collapse, a hollow ache echoing deep through his foundation where a fifth element should have been.

OR: Four immortal boys on a cross-country quest to save the world, but first they have to figure out how to save themselves.
[Submit a prompt you'd like to read or write here!]
🪐 The prompt can specify a particular pairing or can use Louis/Character B as the pairing.
🪐 Writers can sign up with one of these prompts or sign up with their own prompt not on this list.
🪐 Prompts will be crossed off as they are chosen during sign ups.
⬇️ Possible prompts below ⬇️
(A) Louis/Character B are uni roommates
(B) Louis/Greg James - Louis takes Clifford to a secluded park and lets him run free for a few hours. A few weeks into going to a park, a friendly dog (Barney) Louis assumes is a stray comes over by him with a stick in his mouth and Louis plays fetch. This becomes a Thing every time. Louis notices Clifford has been gaining weight and can’t figure out why. One day, Clifford doesn’t come back like he usually does. Louis goes looking for him with (Barney) trailing on his heels. He’s just about to give up when (Barney) sprints away and Louis can’t stand the thought of losing two dogs in one day so he runs after him. Cut to…Louis finding a very tall, very handsome man, very excitedly welcoming Barney back with Clifford barely looking up from the almost gone bucket of dog food said very (very) handsome man clearly brought to the park. Confusion ensues since each thinks the other’s dog was a stray. Wild accusations from Louis about Greg making Clifford fat, jokes from Greg about how Barney has taken up finding perfect sticks and running away with his best one. They fall in love and become one big happy family.
( C ) Louis/Character B are musicians vying for the role of band leader at their former high school. They went there at the same time and were rivals then too, though for a totally different reason: they both had secret crushes on one another. When I've of them learns this, it changes everything.
(D) Girl direction! Louis/Character B are star athletes on the college (you choose the) sport team. They're both on the butch side, and it takes them a while to figure out that they're into one another and don't need to femme it up to get the other to like them.

(F) Famous Louis returns to his home town for his sister's wedding. When he sees his non-famous ex-boyfriend at the first wedding event of the weekend, sparks fly. Cue a whirlwind romance and a lot of big decisions about what they're both willing to do for love.

Character B is the vampire whose arrival coincides with a couple of murders that threaten his peaceful existence. When it becomes clear that B isn't behind the murders, he and Louis team up to find the real culprit (and maybe accidently fall in love along the way).
(H) Louis/Liam - Bros who get married for insurance purposes and then decide divorce isn’t worth the hassle.
(i) Louis/Charlie Lightening…no plot but sex on the ping pong table. Obviously.
(J) Louis and his bandmates/opening band let off some steam by having a circle jerk. It might turn into more for some of them.

(CC) 27 dresses take off where Niall is always the best man, never the husband, and Louis is the snarky reporter.
(DD) Zouiam, uni AU - Zayn meets Liam at the library and falls halfway in love during a single conversation. It’s a fairy tale, only back home is Louis - his FWB, the most important person in Zayn’s life, and someone who doesn’t take well to losing out on attention. Louis' a bit put out when he meets Liam at football practice and this annoying, bossy, fit as all hell guy slides right in under all his defences. It could be the start of a beautiful term of fighting and fucking, only back home is Zayn. Zayn not only needs Louis - he’d become a full-time hermit otherwise - but it’s damn convenient having sex on tap right there in his own flat. And, oh yeah, Zayn’s like, his reflection or his shadow or his other half or something. Liam’s quite confused by having two drop dead gorgeous guys alternately sending him go signals, then just as quickly, stop. He figures if either of them settle on go, he’ll be batting a thousand. Then he realises they know each other. Biblically.
(EE) Louis is an actor in a murder mystery troupe. Character B (maybe Nick Grimshaw...?) is the audience member who’s clearly too cool for all this but giving joining in his best shot anyway. Louis is distracted by him all night, and then after the denouement they meet in the bar.
(FF) Louis/Greg James - Louis won’t stop whanging on about not getting to do the breakfast show with his new album, and character X (maybe Niall, or Oli?) eventually realises it's less career-related jealousy and more about who sits behind the mic. He hatches a matchmaking plan.

(HH) Character B joins local amateur dramatics society and suddenly Louis is no longer a shoo-in for every lead role. Cue the drama!
(ii) AU. Preschool teacher Louis / Boxer Sebastian Stan
(JJ) Yellowjackets AU! Girl direction, any pairing from the show, cutting from 1996 to present.
(KK) Louis/Cillian Murphy - 1970s criminal au (preferably with Louis as the criminal), based on this photo: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FvyDkCnWAAk1UwS?format=jpg&name=4096x4096
(LL) Louis/Isaac: Louis and his band Rogue Direction are doing their first tour in their beat-up van at questionable bars across the country. One night, Isaac is hurled into his life, fleeing from an abusive boyfriend in parking lot of the band’s gig. Louis can’t help but feel..protective of the scrappy tagalong who’ll do anything to earn his keep.
(MM) Louis/Isaac: Louis fucks Isaac’s gauged ears.
(NN) Omega Louis / Male Alpha / Female Alpha polyamorous relationship
(OO) Louis/Patrick Dempsey. AU Patrick is Louis’ dad’s best friend. Possible tags: age difference, secret relationship, feminine Louis, hung Patrick

But while they try to escape they begin to fall in love with each other however it will be difficult for both of them to escape.
(QQ) Louis and Rob Pattinson are in a secret relationship during the 1d days (around 2014 or 2015) unknown to everyone but then louis gets pregnant.
(RR) Beta Louis with alpha whomever, not established relationship.
(SS) Louis and Michael are secretly dating and navigating the resurgence of the Larry rumor mill. Larry was once real, Louis has insecurities about secretly dating another band mate, and Michael has some insecurities over Harry being Louis ex. Maybe an awkward run in or two with Harry trying to get him back but Michael and Louis being endgame.
(TT) Louis tomlinson/Dev Patel- second chance romance
(UU) louis/charles Leclerc, could title the fic as -my good luck charm- (or some such since charles won the race when louis was there etc) and or u could have charles say that to louis and louis getting smug and or bashful & giggly!
(VV) Charles Leclerc at one of Louis gigs? Or him joining the band onstage?
(WW) Louis had to wear multiple badges to have F1 access, so Louis makes Charles wear multiple badges to have VIP access to his concerts. All’s fair…
(XX) Louis/Taylor Swift - 2014ish. They commiserate over Harry not being able to make up his damn mind
(YY) Louis/Character B are the only single parents in the PTA, and everyone keeps trying to get them together.
(ZZ) Louis/Nick Grimshaw (or Greg James, I just want someone from 1D era but not someone in 1D). Nick run into Louis when he's on a vacation to the USA and Louis is there for his work. Maybe Nick goes to a park and see Louis sitting on a bench. He is hesitated at first whether he want to go and greet Louis or not because they weren't best friends back in the days, even though they didn't hate each other like some fans imagined them to be. Eventually Nick goes to greet Louis and Louis seems very delighted to see Nick, like he has the brightest smile on his face or something and that makes Nick's heart skip a beat. They catch up and go for coffee/lunch/dinner while Nick is in the US. Nick doesn't think they will keep in touch after he flies back to the UK but to his surprise, Louis textes him when he gets back and they hang out more. At one point, Louis comes out as gay to Nick. He is happy that Louis trusts him enough to come out to him. The relationship develops. You can be creative with this. I want it to be slow-burn, fluffy, and spicy.
(AAA) Sebastian Stan/Louis Police Officer AU with omegaverse. Omega Louis is a rookie detective in crimes and investigations division. He's paired with Alpha Sebastian whose old partner just resigned. Louis is a loud and bratty omega who often gets himself in danger at work. Sebastian tries to keep him safe while solving crimes and somehow falls in love in the process.
(BBB) Louis Tomlinson/Sam Thompson Since Louis and the love of his life split a few months ago, before their joint coming out, he’s been utterly rudderless and destroyed. With his third album only partially completed, but full of love and life, his manager has organize a PR stunt to smooth over any inquiring minds and fill in the gaps while he finishes his album, which seems to be taking a turn for the worse. He’s absolutely bored with the gal chosen, and luckily they’ll be spending very little time together. However, a quick meeting with all parties involved includes her closeted gay “ex” and Louis couldn’t be more intrigued with the guy. Could he be the one to help ease Louis’ broken heart and become his muse? Is it too soon for Louis?
(CCC) A bouquet of flowers arrives backstage with the note “for the most beautiful”. All the members of Louis' band think it's for Louis, but Louis sent the flowers to (band member of your choice).
(DDD) Louis is a cowboy along with Character B out on the range, and they come back into town to find that the apocalypse has happened.
(EEE) Louis is too polite to say no. This leads to increasingly weirder situations.
(FFF) Louis and Character B work for the same company and have the same job position but they hate each other because the first time they met there was a misunderstanding or something. But all their coworkers think they would make an amazing couple so they try to get them together.
(GGG) Louis/Simon or Louis/Robbie Williams, x-factor judge era
(HHH) Louis/Robert Pattinson exes to lovers. Louis and Rob broke up for a while, as in months, but they hadn't really moved on from each other. One night Rob got a call telling him that Louis was in an accident and Rob was his emergency contact.
(iii) Kevin Kaarl/Louis. Could be canonish. In a serious way or in a crack way. During the AFHF 2024 Kevin, one of the acts, dedicated his song "San Lucas" to Louis. (Your eyes shine brighter than the moon, the sea and the sun. I want to bare your soul and dedicate it a song.) Later in an interview, he said, "I was giving my all, and then when I left the stage I saw they were shipping me and Louis on twitter. So, I said, 'Oh well, I'm going to go and give bro a little kiss'."
(JJJ) Louis/Pedro Pascal - Pedro's friends order a "bunny boy" stripper for his birthday party as a joke. He meets bunny boy Louis and falls for him fast.
(LLL) Louis spends countless nights not sleeping so he doesn't have nightmares but character B starts to notice. (Or vice versa with the characters)
(MMM) Louis asks Character B if they want a kiss and Character B blushes and says okay, but Louis meant Hershey's chocolate kisses and holds out the candy. Character B is super embarrassed and runs off and Louis runs after them because he really does want to kiss them and not just give them chocolate candy. Could switch the characters around too
(NNN) This is from a social media post I saw once that said something like these two people were friends and they knew their friend had feelings for them after they were at a party and went to leave and their friend kissed them on the forehead unexpectedly and they both just froze. But their mutual friend was standing there with them and realized what had happened and so also kissed them on the forehead to try to make it less awkward. And I just thought that would be so cute for a fic.
