Hello! How are you?? I was wondering if you could help me find a fic, it was posted in AO3 by "aace1234" and it was called "It's Safer In The Dark" but I can't find it anymore. Thankyou <3

Hi sugar. I’m afraid I don’t have anything from that author. 🙁

@fundamental-blue @shippingalongnicely @leah3477sblog @londonfoginacup Any of you guys have this fic? Anyone else?

- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ my heart, in deadly rhythm by orphan_account (M, 42k)

There exists somewhere a very, very small list containing the names of people who don’t want Louis Tomlinson dead. Harry Styles may or may not be one of those people.

(or a Spies!AU in which Liam is the Wade to Louis' Kim Possible, Zayn seduces people for intel, Niall is an expert at blowing things up, and Harry is more than a bit famous in his particular field... or infamous, actually. And Louis? Well, Louis just wishes people would quit trying so bloody hard to kill him all the time.)

2️⃣ A Rose, By Any Other Name by iwillpaintasongforlou / @canonlarry (E, 10k)

“I don’t understand, Mr. Tomlinson,” Harry says quietly.

“You don’t have to understand, sweetheart.” Louis reaches over and runs his thumb across Harry’s cheekbone, watching the boy’s breathing pause as he dares not move beneath the touch of this strange, imposing man. “All you need to know is that you work for me now, and that I’m going to keep you safe from all the bad people in this city, you hear?”

Louis Tomlinson is the head of New York City's mafia, and Harry is the beautiful boy from Texas who falls in with the wrong crowd (which turns out to be the right crowd).

3️⃣ Little Cub by aace1234 (NR, 68k)

Harry is head of the underground, he's ruthless, possessive, feared and powerful.

Louis is a student, his dad works for Harry but Louis has no idea about the underground world.

What happens when Louis Dad causes trouble and Harry kidnaps Louis for revenge.

4️⃣ we've got the world in our hands by sarcasticfluentry (E, 54k)

A mutants/superpowers AU. Louis and his friends attend the Cowell Institute for General Education and Mutant Training in London; when Louis meets Harry, the newest student at the Cowell Institute, he immediately recruits Harry to help play matchmaker for his friend Zayn. Harry and Louis are so caught up in meddling in Zayn's love life, though, that they don't notice that their own friendship is progressing into something more. Meanwhile, an ominous threat up north grows slowly until suddenly, no mutant - or human - is safe.

5️⃣ Watch Him As He Goes by LoadedGunn (M, 14k)

It's why Harry loves assignments with Louis; they're thrilling in a way. It's like he never rests. He's this animated, gorgeous guy who's all over the place and Harry actually has to work hard just to catch up to him.

It kind of reminds him of trying to stalk a predator stalking its prey, with his old 70-300 mm lens. Only the predator is a cheeky arsehole. "Come along Harold, I know you usually wait for your zebras to pose for you but here you've got to think on your feet," Louis yelled one time, before disappearing to interview Detective Payne. Never mind the fact Harry was slow in the first place because of Louis' tight jeans.

Or, the AU where Louis' the best police reporter in the country, Harry's the new photographer who is more used to penguins than human subjects, and also there are superheroes.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 this charade (was never going to last) by @scrunchyharry (E, 68k)

On the surface, CitizenX, an international caritative nonprofit, looked like any other nonprofit, funding humanitarian missions worldwide and striving to make the world a better place, one donation at a time.

At least, that was what Harry thought, until he was hired as a computer specialist for a spinoff agency called carish, whose true purpose was to reveal CitizenX’s tangled web of lies.

As if the whole ‘industrial spy’ business was not stressful enough, Harry found himself in a hatred-at-first-sight relationship with one of his new coworkers, Louis, a man intent on detesting Harry.

When the worst happened and Harry and Louis found themselves thrown together in hiding, with only each other to rely on, Harry never could have predicted the turn their relationship would take.

Nor could he anticipate that it would all be taken away from him and he would have to decide how far he was willing to go to get Louis back.

💎 All My Roads Lead to You by @dandelionfairies (M, 41k)

Harry’s stuck in a life he didn’t choose after leaving home at eighteen. Bartending and running drugs were never on his list. Louis is an undercover cop sent in to figure out exactly what’s going on inside of the bar. Neither could have known they’d be drawn to each other.

It’s obvious to Louis that Harry isn’t aware of everything that happens in the backroom. It’s obvious that Nick [Grimshaw] has used Harry’s vulnerability, insecurities, and naivety to keep the man exactly where he wants him.

Harry has never admitted to anyone who he is. They wouldn’t accept him. In fact, he has no doubt that if anyone found out he’s gay, he’d be dead. He doesn’t want to let that wall down for Louis. Because no one can know. But that’s easier said than done. Louis is everything Harry could have ever pictured.

💎 Cowboy Like Me by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings (M, 29k)

Going legit and starting over in a small town was supposed to solve all of Harry’s problems. That was until a string of robberies in wealthy towns brings him face-to-face with his rouge ex-partner and their dicey, unresolved past.

💎 Tonight's the Night by @jaerie (E, 24k)

Tonight’s the night. The night Harry has been waiting for. Everything has been carefully planned, nothing left to chance, the scene set and waiting for their arrival. It’s time.

Harry lives a double life. During the day he's Harry- trusty blood spatter analyst, at night his darkness comes out to play. So far he's been able to act his way through a normal life without drawing attention. What happens when that is no longer the case?

Or a Dexter AU where Harry is Dexter, Liam is Doakes, Niall is Masuka and Gemma is Deb.

💎 Harry, That Kills People by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 2k)

If there’s one thing that Harry hates, it’s getting his clothes dirty.

If there’s one other thing that Harry hates, it’s murder.

Unfortunately, right here and right now, Harry’s clothes are dirty, and he’s murdered someone. So. It’s not a great day.

“Ugh,” says Harry. “Yeargh. Bleh.”

Harry is head of the underground, he's ruthless, possessive, feared and powerful. Louis is a student, his dad works for Harry but Louis has no idea about the underground world. What happens when Louis Dad causes trouble and Harry kidnaps Louis for revenge.

What I’m Reading: March

Re-Reads:

1. We’ll Be Seamless (dinosaursmate) - Louis spends all his spare time scrolling arty nude blogs on Tumblr but amongst them all, Green is his favorite.

2. Screwdriver (dinosaursmate) - When Niall’s mate Harry comes round to do a few odd jobs, Louis takes a shine to him and resorts to dishonest tactics to get him back round again.

3. With Love Comes Strange Currencies (mediaville) - One day One Direction will be over and Louis won’t be around Harry every waking moment. He’ll be able to finally get some space, let their bond dissipate as it’s bound to do, if they don’t mess up again. He can move to Costa Rica and forget that Harry Styles popped his first knot inside him. Until then, he’s going to have to deal with this.

4. Is This Seat Taken? (lainy122) - Louis makes a bet with Zayn that he can sneak into a music awards event without getting caught, and when he ends up posing as a seat-filling member of staff he runs into superstar Harry Styles and sparks fly. Queue the music.

New Reads:

1. Little Cub (aace1234) - Harry is head of the underground, he’s ruthless, possessive, feared and powerful. Louis is a student, his dad works for Harry but Louis has no idea about the underground world. What happens when Louis’ dad causes trouble and Harry kidnaps Louis for revenge?

2. Dreaming of You (orphan_account) - Louis falls in love with his brother’s boyfriend.

3. In All Its Imperfections (BriaMaria) - Drunk!Harry makes a (dirty) list of all the things he’d like to do to/with his coworker Louis. Louis finds the list in the parking garage at work.

4. Blossom Close (Snowy38) - Celeb!Louis and his troublesome cat move next door to Harry and his (cat) princess. Harry is not liking the idea of those two getting too close.

5. To Be A Muse May Be Enough (unpoetically) - When Zayn came to him with a job, Louis never expected to be sat in a studio, wearing lipstick and reading a book about Death whilst being plugged with a vibrator. Did he also mention he’s being filmed by the fittest photographer he’s ever seen?

6. A Virgin to That Money (eversincewefellapart) - Harry and Louis are broke university students who hate each other and make a sex tape.

7. Call Me, Beep Me, If You Wanna Reach Me (dont _stop_larry) - “Hey Siri?” Siri clicked on and Louis heard Liam snicker behind him. He kicked him in the shin and continued. “Will Harry Styles ever text me?” Louis looked back at Liam and Liam just smirked at him. “Sending text to Harry Styles: Will you ever text me?” Louis nearly dropped the phone in horror. He pressed every single button he could think of and immediately shut his phone down, but when he turned it back on the damage was done.

8. Will You Do Something? (shipsdrifting) - Louis needs a fake date. Harry may regret agreeing to help. (Based on the hidden camera show What Would You Do?)

9. Naked Attraction (glitterlarries) - Louis goes on Channel 4′s new dating show which involves choosing a partner based on how attractive you find their naked body. Harry just so happens to be one of the contestants. Harry also just so happens to be Louis’ ex boyfriend.

10. Just a One Night Stand (carlyloveslarry) - Louis is a nerdy twink who gets fucked by a punk named Harry in the bathroom of a club.

11. Oops, I Like You (say_thanks) - He thrives in the attention, at the knowledge he makes these boys with their tattooed dicks and pierced whatevers, so hot and bothered. These boys with their confident smirks and broad shoulders and hands, touching Louis wherever they can. Louis reduces them all to a wet, moaning mess every time. Usually he doesn’t see those guys again. It’s not generally part of the plan.

12. Nine-Tenths of the Law (eleadore) - Louis doesn’t get jealous.

13. Undertow (leavingonatrain) - As if Harry’s world wasn’t already on the brink of change, a twist of fate turns the man he once photographed in the streets of Paris and never forgot from faint memory, to a one night stand, to even more.

14. Play It Back, Spinning Faster (orphan_account) - All Louis expects from his Caribbean cruise is many frozen alcoholic drinks and an even tan. He’s instead blindsided by a night with Harry Styles, and he tries to figure out how to stop leaving things to fate and start trying to make things happen for himself.

15. Take Me Back to Where We Started (amory) - Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since they broke up four years ago. As boarding school sweethearts they once spent every waking moment together, but now they can hardly stand to be in the same room. When their five year class reunion comes around, both boys decide against their better judgement to return and (hopefully) have a good time. The only problem is, they’re both hopelessly in love.

16. Validation (lululawrence) - Harry works in a parking garage and he totally didn’t mean for this, the whole validation of people as well as their parking tickets, to become a thing. It just kinda... did.

17. Ain’t Going Backwards, Won’t Ask For Space (sinfuljiminy) - The one where two idiots fall in love after years of being just best friends.

Oh, you’re so sweet. Thank you!!

Anon, I hope you’re still out there.

Hi darling,

Hope your doing great!

Please please can you suggest fics that have detective / FBI harry ( as a top too). I know I read a few, but I would so appreciate a comprehensive list ❤️🫡. Thank you and have a great day ! Xx

Hi, anon! I was away in Mexico seeing Louis so I've been amazing lol, but now I'm back and can start on the asks that have piled up a bit. So here are some fics that fit what you're looking for...I'm assuming you don't mind the British version of this kind of fic...

 I’ll Throw Away My Faith (Just To Keep You Safe) by @theboyfriendstagram

AU. Harry Styles is an MI6 agent on a mission to find out who’s planning on killing the Prime Minister. Louis Tomlinson is a wanted professional assassin, hired by the MI6 to kill whoever wants to kill the Prime Minister. Louis doesn’t do relationships but he does Harry. Featuring Niall as their handler, Liam as Harry’s boss and Zayn as his sidekick.

It’s Only Sunny Cause the Planet’s Dying by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28

The man leans back in his chair and looks down at the tarot cards in front of him. “Wow, that was really impressive. How long did it take you to memorize all this bullshit?” He raises a brow and that challenging look is back on his face, but he’s not even bothering to mask it this time.

It makes Louis’ blood run cold. “I beg your pardon?”

The man chuckles, but there’s no humor in it. “If you take a peek in my wallet that you just stole, you’ll see there’s a detective’s badge in there. Why don’t you come on down to the police station with me and you can explain your methods to me there?”

(Or the one where Louis is a thief and a con-artist who’s used to getting what he wants, using any means necessary. And Harry is is the straight-laced detective who might just be tired of always doing the right thing).

How Many Secrets Can You Keep? by thecheshirepussycat / @the-cheshire-pussy-cat

Being a spy meant always keeping your emotions in check. It looked and sounded good in theory, but in practice things like soulmates and trusted bonds of friendship got in the way. The real key to being a spy was keeping your emotions a secret.

Or: Harry and Louis are partners and agents for MI6, but their worlds are torn apart when Harry goes rogue.

Into This Mess by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel

The first day of Louis’ promotion is going well, far better than he expected. That is until his new partner shows up, who just so happens to be the guy who stumbled half-dressed out of his flat that same morning.

Or the enemies to lovers detective AU.

Angel of Small Death and the Murder Scene by lousmoonshine

Ever since Louis read about the new up and coming Detective in town, he had immediately disliked the man, despite never having met him. So, naturally, it can only be the worst thing that could have happened to Louis when he gets stuck with Detective Styles trying to solve a murder during his supposed to be relaxing vacation over the seas.

MISSING by aace1234

Louis brothers report Louis missing after they can’t get hold of him for 24hours

Harry Styles and Charlie Stone, detectives of the teenage homicide and missing persons division, are long time friends of the Tomlinson's and take the case.

Angst, Fluff and Drama ensued

[hlficlibrary]

Any recommendations for fanfics similar to ceo by aace1234? I love the blog, thanks for helping me find fanfics!

You're very welcome, anon! So I'd say the main tropes in this one are CEO/powerful Harry, possessive Harry, younger/innocent Louis. So here are some that I think kind of fit that...

Nothing's Fair in Love and War by orphan_account

It wasn't the thought of being a parent so young that scared him, or even the agony he would go through when he gave birth (which, he hadn't thought about till now - something to look forward to!)

It was Harry finding out.

sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime  by 5sexualhomos / @hogwartzlou

“What the actual fuck, Lou?” Zayn hisses.

“What?” Louis asks innocently.

“You didn’t tell me you had a sugar daddy!”

“He’s not my sugar daddy!”

“He’s a good ten years older than you and makes a ton of money and probably buys you everything you want.”

“Maybe, but that’s beside the point.”

(Or the one where Louis has a much older boyfriend who likes to spend money on him and Louis likes to call him Daddy sometimes.)

Falling in Love by fantasyauthor4u

Louis was just looking for a job so he didn't have to start university right away. When he accepted the role as Harry Styles' personal assistant, he had no idea he would find a lot more than work.

Or

The Boss/Employee AU where Harry thinks he's straight, since he has a gf, but, after meeting Louis, soon discovers that sexuality means nothing when love is involved.

[twopoppies]
