Gryles 30 Day Challenge: Day Twenty Eight: Fic Rec
There is a lot of incredible fic in this fandom and it was tough but I managed to whittle it down to just two recs:
who wouldn't be into rita ora by loafers
During her last song, How We Do (which sounds all the better after Liam’s earlier mangling), Nick wraps his arms around Harry’s middle from behind and makes him dance along with him. Harry melts back against Nick’s body and smiles as Nick’s breath tickles his neck where he’s got his face tucked, singing along. After that, Harry can’t really entertain the thought of legitimately attempting to date Rita anymore. He’s so gone on Nick that he feels a bit sick about it.
This is my absolute favorite fic in this fandom. I go back and reread it all the time, especially the scene where Harry gets into Nick's bed. I want to live inside that scene it is so perfect. It has just the right amounts of angst and sweetness and sexiness and all of the characterizations are great. Plus I couldn't help but think of it last week when Nick tried to set Harry up with Ke$ha on his show.

“You go ahead and finish rubbing one out on my hip,” Nick says. “But I want poached eggs in the morning.”
Harry’s cheeks flush, and he can feel the warmth spread all the way down his neck. “I‘m not rubbing off on you,” he mutters. One day he’ll stop being easy for people who embarrass him.
Everything this author writes is beautiful but this fic stands out to me because it has, in my opinion, the best Harry characterization of any fic ever. The scene where he tries to lure the dog is one of my favorite bits of writing in the entire world. This fic makes me fall in love with Harry all over again every time I reread it. It also has one of the hottest and most gorgeous sex scenes I've read in this fandom.
