Here is a list of the 1D fics I read for the month of September 2020. Its not much (work is killing me) but here goes. Please support the writers, shower them with love, kudos, comments and affections :D
1-Seven Simple Words by anonymous
It’s not like he and Louis were a couple. No, they might have been a lot of things—best mates and colleagues with a seemingly convenient friends-with-benefits arrangement—but never a couple. It wasn’t Louis’ fault he didn’t feel the same way and couldn’t reciprocate Harry’s feelings in the way he’d wanted, the way he’d needed. Harry had allowed himself to get in too deep, his entire being aching to be loved back by the object of his affections. But in love, as in life, you don’t always get what you want.
OR the one where you don’t always get what you want the first time around, but sometimes the universe decides to give you a second chance at getting it right.
2-I Don't Mean to Frustrate by @lululawrence
Louis didn’t always feel like he had to hide. His family had known he would likely present as an omega from the time he was young and, despite the fact that male omegas were rare and had all the usual prejudices against them plus some, his loved ones were always caring and supportive.
Looking back on it, Louis sees quite clearly that had things gone differently, had three very specific scenes in his past played out with even a slight adjustment, he would likely be living his life as a happy and out male omega. Dwelling on that too often wasn’t good for him, though, because the fact was, they had happened. The outcome had been what got him where he was today: in the middle of a world tour feeling absolutely exhausted and needy, but not being able to tell anyone, not even his bandmates.
Or the one where Louis is an omega pretending to be a beta, but what happens when Harry, his (pining) alpha best friend, learns his secret?
3-A Fist Full of Glitter by@ reminiscingintherain
Nick G: Fancy going to the BRITs tonight? Got a ticket with your name on.
Louis: Is there any universe in which I’d say no to this? I think not.
Nick G: I’ll pick you up at 6:30pm. Suit’s being messengered over now.
Louis: You spoil me. <3 xx
Louis' a Sugar Baby, Nick's his proper and formal Sugar Daddy. What could possibly happen to make that change?
4-Interview with the vampire by @allwaswell16
Working at an alpha magazine wasn't always easy for an omega like Louis, but he's just landed his biggest interview yet with an A list actor who has asked for Louis especially. Unfortunately, the interview is with Rob Pattinson, the biggest pain in the arse alpha on the planet.
Inspired by Rob’s interview in GQ Magazine and not actually about vampires
5-gathered on wings by @ Brooklyn_Babylon
As Harry lay by Louis’ side, covered in sweat and come, he knew he should feel ugly, messy, ruined, like the life he’d left behind. But something about the way Louis looked at him, the way his eyes stared at him with want and awe, made Harry wonder if he’d ever feel this beautiful again.
Harry rolled his eyes at himself for his momentary romantic dreaminess. As good as this was, he knew it was nothing more than sex. He literally couldn’t afford to fall for just anyone, no matter how fit they were.
What Harry Styles wanted was to be taken seriously as an artist.
What he needed was a new sugar daddy to pave the way.
Louis Tomlinson is an artist who isn’t what Harry is looking for.
Somehow he still manages to turn Harry's world upside down.
6-The Section by @ bananaheathen
In which Louis is a TA for an Intro to Cinema course, and Harry is an undergrad with a bit of a crush.
Or, the one with "Name: Harry Styles, Date: me please"
As usual, it’s the Irish one he hears first.
“Keep up, Styles. It’s YOUR boyfriend we’re off to see.”
“He’ll have heard that, Niall, you arse. Thank you so much.”
Louis just has time to text Zayn: fuck.
7-It's halftime. Are you ready to go? by @ momentofclarity
Reason #12 - Because it's halftime.
Harry would like to think that he doesn’t know how he got himself into this. Only… he’d be lying. Because he knows exactly how he got himself into this. Oh man, does he know, and it’s all because of a certain Louis Tomlinson.
Alternatively - football is gay and Harry is trying to cope.
8-Saturated Soul by @anonymous
Harry lives a lifetime without Louis until he finds him in the 1930s. He’s drawn to him like the Louis he had fallen for over 100 years ago. They get close but in the end, as long as Louis is human, Harry has to let him go. He watches Louis age and eventually in the 80’s he passed of old age.
It's been twelve years since Louis had passed away. Twelve years that Harry hasn't felt him, hasn't been able to sense him. His other half is gone. They were soul mates. Aren't soulmates supposed to live long happy ever after?
9-Carry This Feeling by @dimpled_halo, @awriterwrites
There’s something about Louis Tomlinson that makes Harry feel unhinged. It’s in the other man’s stare, in the way he looks at Harry like he knows he’s hiding something. Like he’s not really all he says he is.
Harry’s not so sure it’s fear he’s feeling. Maybe it’s something deeper. Ever since Louis walked into his house, he’s felt on edge. He’s just being himself after all, and that’s usually enough to get just about anyone to drop their pants. But...it’s clearly not working on Louis Tomlinson. It dredges up something oily and unpleasant inside Harry. He doesn’t like it.
He’s got to lock that shit down tight.
***
Harry knows, objectively, that he shouldn't try to get his ghostwriter into bed. He knows. But...he finds it hard to resist temptation when Louis waltzes into his home and his life and turns everything upside down. And, as it turns out, Louis might just need a little turning upside down too.
