My favorite larry fan fics on ao3:
1. Tired tired sea by MediaWhore
As a B&B owner on the most remote of all the British Isles, Louis Tomlinson is used to spending the coldest half of the year in complete isolation, with his dog and the sea as sole companions. Until, one day, a mysterious stranger on a quest to rebuild himself rents a room for the winter.
2. Trapped by Hazzalittle28
It takes an entire two week of lockdown for Harry and Louis to notice the undeniable spark between them
Or
An AU in which Harry and Louis are under lockdown because of the global pandemic and they find themselves experiencing change in between them.
3. Things I can't by reddhede
Louis has a plan for his life. He’s going to be the first in his family to finish college. He’s going to be a doctor - the best damn doctor in the country. And he’s going to work his ass off to make sure his younger siblings never have to wonder whether they have the means to pursue their dreams.
4. Wheels within wheels by 50ShadesOfZen
After their first encounter at Louis' favorite cafe, the arrogant Harry Styles refuses to leave Louis alone until he gets what he wants; a date, and maybe a bit more. His wish is granted when he takes Louis to a fateful party. During this event, Harry had a bit of "fun" with the hopelessly intoxicated Louis. However, he never in a million years would have expected the events that transpired as a result of his manipulation.
5. Into the blue by zarah05
AU. In which Louis is Harry's scuba instructor and quite happy to provide the requested special treatment, pun fully intended. It can't be all that difficult to convince Harry that they're on the same page, right? Also, Niall and Liam may or may not be dating, and Zayn is surrounded by emotionally stunted idiots. He bears it with dignity.
6. When everything gets in the way by Kiwiwoman
Louis is Harry's professor who holds his baby in lectures.
7. Maybe this time by ShatteredGlassHouse
Harry and Louis were high school sweethearts. Louis was going to become the next star football player and Harry would be his fashion designer. Until life got in the way and a fight tore them apart.
Years later Louis wakes up in a life he always wanted but feels lost. His boyfriend and best friend are let in the past and now after a trip down memory lane, he wakes up in his seventeen-year-old body.
Or an inspired by 13 Going on 30 and 17 Again AU.
8. Taste of heaven by alwritings7
"I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want them all"
Harry and Louis are seniors at university. They met while they were moving in the dorm, although Harry was the one to remember Louis and how beautiful he was. Louis was rude and had no desire to talk to Harry, but they're studying at the same university so they'll definitely meet again.
9. But if you ask me if I love him by HazzaMyLou
Harry's pregnant. Louis' not ready. And Liam and Niall are the best friends in the world.
10. Escaped by dolce_piccante
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.
11. Bug Boy by FitzAndLarry
Or the one where Harry is obsessed with bugs and Louis can't wait for them to be Alphas together.
12. Of Mates and Men by bananaheathen
In which, Louis and Harry meet as best men for their best friends' wedding... well... sort of.
Or, the one where Harry's just moved back from New York and Louis doesn't believe in romance.
Or, I guess... the one where Zayn and Liam are getting married.
13 you so much (but I hate your guts) by becauselarry
AU in which Louis gets accepted to play for the Manchester University Alpha-Beta Football Team. The only problem: Louis is actually an Omega. He is determined to make it big in the football world, though, and he can't do that bound to an Omega team. With the help of a faked doctor's certificate and some pretty strong suppressants he is ready to fight for his dream.
That Harry Styles (Alpha, second year and youngest football captain of the A-B team in ages) doesn't seem to like him complicates matters, though.
14. Game Changer by Neondiamond
OR: A couple months before playing in his first long-awaited World Cup, Louis finds out he’s pregnant. Harry’s there for the ride.
15. Oubaitori by thelesserneptune
Or: Louis and Harry meet again after years apart and have to learn to live together by detangling their shared past and uncovering old secrets.
16. A long way from the playground by Pink_Sunsets
One Direction is broken up. They broke up five years ago. That should be the end of the story, right?
Harry is finished with One Direction. He now has a new life, one with two kids and a successful solo career. And he’s happy.
But a call one night from management flips Harry’s whole new life upside down, and he’s forced to face the life he had left behind.
As well as a certain blue eyed man who had left him behind.
17. Heading for Limbo by kingsofeverthing
Childhood best friends who’ve fallen in and out of touch with each other since Louis’ family moved away when they were thirteen, Harry and Louis find their paths crossing again and again. Each time, no matter how many miles apart or how many years it’s been, it’s as if no time has passed. They fall back into their easy friendship, until life intervenes and sends them on their separate ways once more
When Harry discovers some life-changing things about himself, Louis is there for him, however he needs. But it’s all temporary because Louis has plans that will move his life from New York all the way to L.A. and the distance isn’t the only thing between them.
The pieces of their twice broken hearts are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
18. Shake me down by AGreatPerhaps12
Harry's new to college, fresh out of Catholic school and conversion therapy camp, and Louis runs the campus LGBTQIA organization.
19. Now in a minute by thealmightyavocado
13 feels like yesterday for many people, but for Louis it actually was.
More than anything in the world, Louis Tomlinson dreams of growing up. Simply skipping over all of the awkward, embarrassing years of teenage existence and getting on with life. Real life.
Or the 13 going on 30 au that should have been done years ago.
20. Just Me, You, And This Box of Matches by tomlinsunshine
Louis is fairly sure that his new neighbour is going to destroy him. And also their apartment building, and the dumpsters outside, and all the forests within a thirty mile radius. But. Mostly him.
21. Falling Into Place by summerwine
Louis and Harry spend nine years apart but inevitably find their way back to each other.
22. With a whimper by kitundercover
Dystopian AU. Louis has been alone for too long to remember how not to be, and Harry has too much to worry about to deal with a scrawny, wild, stranger.
23. nocturne in silver and blue by tinyweirdloves
[louis is a fallen star and harry brings him home. told over the course of fourteen years.]
24. The Afterlife Fic (The Best I Ever Had in My Entire Life... Or Death) by LovingCup
AU- After dying in an accident, Louis Tomlinson arrives in the Afterlife. Not Heaven and not Hell, Louis finds himself in Judgment City UK: a pristine city where the food and entertainment are divine and the newly departed must undergo a Review of their life on Earth to determine if they have lived a life worthy of advancement in the universe, or if they must be returned to Earth to be born again in a new body.
On his first full day in the Afterlife, Louis meets Harry Styles, and the two have an instant connection. Over the course of their Reviews, they fall in love and begin to find that even though they didn't know each other on Earth, they are nonetheless linked to one another in perfect ways. Both are hoping to move ahead in the universe together, but they are challenged with the threat of separation if one or both of them is sent back to Earth to be born again.
Loosely based on the Albert Brooks' film "Defending Your Life" starring Brooks and Meryl Streep. One scene in particular is drawn from the movie, but other than that scene and the general concept, this story veers far away from the film. There were no blowies in the 1991 movie, I swear!
