↳ 6/12.  Law & (the lack of)Order by carmelfringe (3.7k, complete)

Harry approached the window and looked at the neighbour department. Law.

He sighed and stared at it longingly. Elise came up to him and their eyes met in the reflection on the window. Lights in the law department were off, at least in the part of the building they were able to see. Did future lawyers not have evening classes today? Probably.

"Can you believe he was absent today? He's never absent.” Harry said to Elise without diverting his eyes from the building.

"Can you believe you still haven't talked to him? You've never uttered a single word!" she said in an incredulous tone, mocking his friend.

or: Uni AU Harry studies medicine, Louis studies law. Their departments are opposite one another. Secret crushes and dramatic staring out of the window happen.

↳ 5/12.  Losing My Faith by stormquotes (13k, WIP)

Harry’s one of the best cops around, he’s full of love and he does what he needs to do in the line of duty. It’s until a last minute police bust—that costs the life of wife and son—Harry stops loving and vows to never fall in love with anyone again.

In comes an experienced new partner, who’s innocence seems impossoble to work with, may just be the thing that drives him insane, and also makes him love again… dare he make the first move?

Or Harry is a grieving cop who needs a wake up call, and Louis may just be the call he’s needed for a while.

↳ 11/12.  Saved Tonight by Anonymous (30k, complete)

Harry is the world's most persistent seduction-baker, a questionable dog-sitter, and Louis's biggest fan. Louis hasn't written in years, is trying to pass loneliness off as cynicism, and absolutely hates his fans. It's probably destiny.

↳ 2/12.  Castle on the Hill by ihopeyousuffer (5k, complete)

↳ 3/12.  The Elephant and The Dove. by Nicolasgrimshaw (7.7k, WIP)

Harry lives a frugal life while operating a popular used bookstore on the poor side of town. With no further education beyond eleventh grade, he’s quite sure caring for the store is what he’ll do for the rest of his life. After all, he can’t afford college.

Louis lives a carefree life with more money and time than he knows what to do with. With a high school diploma, he hasn’t quite reached the step of enrolling, or even applying, in a college. He’s just not ready to grow up in that way.

And Louis’ father, however, is a wealthy businessman who’s always used to getting what he wants and what he wants is to tear down Harry’s building, along with the surrounding one’s, in order to make room for a brand new development his team has proposed to build. Water might just be thicker than blood.

↳ 9/12.  Love Endless (The Road to Recollection) by wubwubnparmaham (5.8k, WIP)

The year is groovy 1973, and eighteen-year-old Louis Tomlinson is as gay as the rainbows that never waste their time in gloomy ole' Fortwright. Would be fine if he wasn't so viciously bullied at both home and school for such a "harmful" sexual preference.

Yeah, yeah, we've all heard this story, haven't we? Believe him, Louis didn't think he was anything special either.

Until he found the mansion. The notoriously haunted mansion hidden deep within the forests of his tiny blip of a town in Bumfuck Nowhere, Idaho. No one with a brain ever goes near it, but Louis could use a little excitement in his life...and possibly a Band-Aid or two.

After discovering the mansion was less abandoned than he'd thought, he's now left with the most riveting mystery of a lifetime; every new finding leaving him with more questions. Who is this elusive owner, and why won't they show themselves? Why is there a set of journals in the same handwriting that span over centuries? Why in the world is there a padlock on the refrigerator...and who the hell is Alexander?

↳ 8/12.  Born on Third Base by kiddle (19k, WIP)

Like most people, Harry has had to work hard for what he wants in life. That's how he ended up with the top marks in his year and a scholarship to the most elite private boarding school in the country for his last year. Upon arriving he meets his roommate, Louis: a boy who has had everything in life handed to him by his rich father who practically owns the school. They shouldn't be friends. They come from two different worlds. But somehow, with help from a secret car and determination to break the rules, they hit it off, and along the way show the other the parts of life they've each been missing out on.
