Hi there! Do you know fics that give of the same vibes as ‘Of mates and men”?

Thank you !!

Hi, anon! You're very welcome! I'll do my best...I assume you're looking for something long, a getting together kind of fic, and light on the angst. If you're looking for something different from that let me know! So here are my recs...

Relief Next To Me by dolce_piccante

AU. What happens when a baker and a graphic designer meet via a very specific Craigslist post? Fate, friendship, food, and maybe more.

Mismatched Knickers by sun_flowr

"Hello, is this Mr. Tomlinson?"

"Yes, this is Louis."

"Good afternoon. This is Mr. Payne calling from Canyonview Prep. Everything is okay, but we had a bit of a situation with Quinn and another student this afternoon."

"Is she okay?" Louis interrupts, and Liam can hear the worried tone in his voice. This is the usual reaction parents give, so he was ready for it.

"She's fine. A few scratches but otherwise she is fine physically."

---

Louis is a single dad, busy with his business, when he gets the call from the principal about his daughter, Quinn.

Harry is a single dad who has just moved to town and never expected his daughter to get into a fight on the first day of school.

Neither of them could have predicted what would happen after that meeting in Mr. Payne's office.

A heartwarming story featuring: two single dads; newly appointed Principal Liam who falls for Zayn, Louis' best friend and business partner; Harry's best friend and boss Niall; too many stuffed animals; and two of the most adorable six year olds, Quinn and Addy.

Bloodline by banana_louis

Louis doesn't know how to feel when his best friend, Liam, finds out about a brother that he never knew, who was placed for adoption before he was born and is bursting into his life at twenty-four years old.

Louis is very wary of the man who might replace him. He has always thought of Liam as his own brother.

What if Liam doesn't need him anymore? What if there's no room for Louis? After all, blood runs thicker than water.

Louis doesn't like Liam's new brother and he doesn't even know him. That's irrelevant, though.

He doesn't like him. He doesn't trust him. He doesn't want him hanging around. He doesn't want anything to do with him.

That is, until he meets him.

[sheithfictioncatalogue]

I'm hoping you guys have heard of this fic I'm looking for!

I don't remember a lot of details, but I think Shiro was a beekeepers and Keither was a witch? Keith either lived or worked with Lance, and I think they had a scene at a laundromat?

I distinctly remember either Keith or Shiro riding a bike and being chased by bees

This has witch Keith and beekeeper Shiro, but none of the other stuff:

Never Felt This Way Bee-fore - sainnis

21k. (Mature).

To the surprise of Keith's parents, plant mages who run a vineyard on the quiet island of Astermel, Keith's healing magic manifests three days before his 18th birthday, making him the first in his family with such powers. At the same time, Shiro arrives on the island, a boy with a magetech arm who can speak to animals and charm bees. Both of them begin their mage apprenticeships expecting to learn how to control their magic, but neither expects how much they'll change one another's lives or how deep their feelings for each other might grow over the course of a year. Or, the soft cottagecore AU in which Keith and Shiro become best friends, practice their magic, and fall in love.

If anyone knows the one they're actually looking for, please let us know!

There were few things Louis Tomlinson loved more than being on stage. As the years passed by and the venues and crowd sizes grew, Louis’ unwavering love of performing never wavered.

Once in a Lifetime

https://archiveofourown.org/works/33266980/chapters/82602361

When Mobius descends the tiny back staircase to open M. M. Mobius & Co. Rare Books at a completely random hour on Tuesday afternoon, he finds someone already inside his shop, curled up in a chair and drinking a pot of his tea. The man is dressed in an all-black suit with a black shirt and tie, like a fancier version of one of those goth kids that sometimes show up in his shop looking for books on the occult or other such things that Mobius refuses to sell them. The visitor’s long legs are tucked up underneath him, and slender, elegant hands carefully cradle one of Mobius’s rarer tomes, a volume of Old Norse poetry.

A few weeks ago, this would have been cause for concern, to put it mildly. But then again, a few weeks ago, his bookshop hadn’t yet acquired its very own god of mischief.

(Or, the unlikely friendship between an ordinary human bookshop owner and a Norse trickster god, and how it grows to become something that neither of them ever thought they'd have.)

Lan WangJi stops breathing. Wei WuXian continues, "I thought then that maybe after everything was over I could…" He stops and clears his throat. Then he admits, "Well, I sort of fantasized about whisking you away from Gusu and convincing you to join their sect with me."
