What I’m Reading: July
[No re-reads this month]
New Reads:
1. Cheese Toasties (elsi_bee) - Harry is back to managing nights at Sandy’s Diner, his home away from home. A new customer with two kids in tow makes his nights a bit more interesting.
2. Have a Little Faith in Me (fallinglikethis) - Harry Styles remembers Louis Tomlinson fondly. They used to spend the summers bonding at Bible Camp, helping each other memorize bible verses for their weekly challenge against the boys in the other cabins, and chatting into the early hours of morning when they were supposed to be sleeping. They had been so close back then. Harry was heartbroken when Louis hadn’t been there last summer. He’d heard rumors, vague comments about how Louis had changed but he didn’t believe them. He couldn’t. Because the other boys, the ones from Louis’ home town, were saying that he’d started getting piercings and tattoos, that he’d come out as gay, and that he’d turned his back on God.
3. Holiday Greetings (and Gay Happy Meetings) (2tiedships2) - Niall’s dead care and a foot of snow conspire to force Louis into spending time with an alpha he hates... or does he?
4. Your Touch is the Only Thing I Feel (2tiedships2) - Louis refuses to settle for just any alpha despite intense touch deprivation. Fortunately Harry isn’t just any alpha.
5. Everything Suspended (louisandthealien) - Centered around the events of 9/11, Harry hears about the crash, Louis works in one of the towers.
6. You Really Got Me Now (allwaswell16) - Louis chaperones Fizzy’s school trip to Italy. Turns out Fizzy’s Italian teacher is surprisingly hot, Rome is surprisingly interesting, and Louis is surprisingly falling in love with more than just the city.
7. I Don’t Mean to Frustrate (lululawrence) - Louis is an omega pretending to be a beta, but what happens when Harry, his (pining) alpha best friend, learns his secret?
8. Forget Your Ex (rainbowskinnies) - When Harry’s boyfriend of two years leaves him for someone else, it’s fair to say he’s rather a bit upset, but his friends have a solution for him. Nick and Niall are hosting a start of term house party at their flat, having invited everyone they know from uni. Who knows, with a bit of luck Harry can find a rebound shag and finally forget his ex...
9. Raise a Glass to the Four of Us (2tiedships2) - Louis stared at his luggage. Well. Apparently not his luggage, because the clothing he was looking at currently was a: worth more than everything he currently posessed, b: not his size at all, and c: more suited for a fancy ass lawyer than a holiday in NYC with his best mates.
10. Fiction Romance - A punk Louis/uni Harry blind date AU where Harry likes older, sophisticated, mature men and can’t understand why Niall would set him up with Louis Tomlinson.
