In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.

It’s about time I finally rec’d this fic. I really enjoyed this! I see why it’s such an iconic fic in the fandom.
The story showed great character development, for both Harry and Louis. Louis was a pretentious, stuck up corporate bozo at the start, but grew into a wonderful character.
“Because I would rather go alone to every event for the rest of my life than pay the ghost of Mick Jagger’s youth to pretend to tolerate me”
“Do you like golf?” “I f*ck old men for a living. Of course I love golf”
“What’s with the all white trend?” “Babe, it’s not like you’re going to get your period”
“Invisible, inexplicable heat, like the shock of an electrical fire o the remnants of a lightning storm in humidity”
Although it says in the beginning it’s incomplete, it’s actually fully finished with an epilogue and everything, so don’t let that stop you!
This was an amazing book, I definitely recommend it and understand why it’s so famous! Go read it!
AU. As part of a team of fixers hired to handle a gay scandal in Buckingham Palace, Louis expects Prince Harry to be a lot of things—most notably a royally spoilt brat. Never mind that the very same Prince Harry used to star in quite a number of Louis' teenage fantasies.

This fic was great! I loved it so much, the plot development was really well done and the smut was amazing. The author did a wonderful job and I can’t wait to read more of their writing!
“Since it was a moral obligation to stop him from spouting bullshit, Louis covered Harry’s mouth with his own. It was a sacrifice, of course, but Louis had always believed in doing right by the people -- and now that he’d begun to reclaim his birth name, he had better live up to the noble responsibility that came with it”

AU. As the first British footballer to come out at the prime of his career, it helps that Louis Tomlinson is in a long-term, committed relationship. Even if that relationship is fake. (Featuring Niall as Louis' favourite teammate, Liam as Louis' agent, and Zayn as Liam's boyfriend, who just happens to be good friends with one Harry Styles.)
