REVIEW: butterfly boy - da1

(read here)

pairing: Harry/Pippa

as of 12/27/15:  152,123 words, 27 chapters (incomplete)

description from 1DFF:

Harry Styles thinks he's something special. In reality, he's just like every other boy you've ever known. Self righteous, arrogant, annoying, and self obsessed. The only thing different about him is that stupid butterfly tattoo on his stomach. How do I feel about Harry Styles? Honestly? I hate him. 

university au

yeyeye butterfly boy! first off, I really enjoyed reading this! this is a uni AU, but Harry is like especially AU in my opinion. he's kind of an unpredictable conceited dick for a lot of the beginning? and Pippa is super different from me, so I occasionally struggled with her character, but the dynamic between her and Harry and her and Zayn is so so great. there's some really great banter in this and some reaaally hot scenes!! plus Harry is studying photography ;-) I'm looking forward to reading more!! :-)

REVIEW: less than lovers - ticketchanges

pairing: Harry/Allie

as of 11/29: 91,632 words,14 chapters

description from 1DFF:

Allison Davis was a lot of things. She was stubborn, sensitive, and a little bit selfish. And he was maybe a bit too much like her. After being dragged to a camping trip by her overexcited roommate, Allison had no idea she would be sharing a sleeping bag with a complete stranger and participating in trivia with him once a week. All it took was one camping trip for Harry Styles to get completely under Allison’s skin.

A story about puffy lips, excessive drinking, bed hogging, weekly trivia quizzes, being in between places and not settling for less.

hi! ok I haven't been this in love with a fic in so so long. less than lovers is so good and so angsty and I'm so sad that it's only 14 chapters in. Harry and Allie basically start off really really bad but then they become friends, and you know they both have it so bad for each other but there's so many miscommunications and other factors going on. lol this review isn't doing this any justice, but please please read this!! I'm so so excited for more :-))

REVIEW: giving up the gun - sheisbeauty-sheisgrace

pairing: Harry/Felicity

as of 11/29: 114,562 words, 15 chapters (incomplete)

description from 1DFF:

Felicity Germain has a dilemma. She was supposed to be spending her summer reading and watching cheesy 90's movies with her flatmates, but all that changes when she runs into her evil ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend. Suddenly for the first time she finds herself caught up in a lie she can't talk her way out of with the charming, obnoxious and unpredictable Harry Styles as her only ally.

Harry Styles has a dilemma. He was supposed to be spending the summer enjoying the longest amount of time off he's had in years with his perfect girlfriend, but all that changes when she breaks up with him. Suddenly for the first time he finds himself all alone with the conceited, irrational and overdramatic Felicity Germain as his only company.

A story of dysfunctional families, pop culture references and learning to face life head on.

fake dating! what more do you need? ok so another big personality thing going on, Felicity is pretty much insane, and I love her. Harry isn't overdone and he's recovering from a broken heart RIP. also he's a dick in the beginning which I do love :-) although the general concept isn't original, all the extra stuff going on and characters and some fucking hot scenes make up for it!! I’m not sure if this is ever going to get finished, she hasn’t updated since August, but it’s still fairly long :-)

REVIEW: forever hold your peace - chipsandcheese

(read here)

pairing: Harry/Birdy

as of 10/5: 218,962 words, 24 chapters (incomplete)

description from 1DFF:

Zayn Malik was getting married.

These were five words that Birdy Thomas refused to accept.

The fact that her ex boyfriend was tying the knot with a girl who was strictly vegan and bleached her eyebrows? Completely ridiculous.

Molly Blakelee was getting married.

These were five words that Harry Styles refused to accept.

The fact that his ex girlfriend was tying the knot with an amateur English major who recited poetry for a living? Absolutely absurd.

After these two scorned lovers meet on a snowy night in a London pub they eventually come to one conclusion. They were going to speak now, or forever hold their peace.

An AU about broken hearts, the undeniable power of fate, ruining a wedding, and a friendship that began with a romantic Marvin Gaye tune and a little too much beer.

it’s been a long streak of less-than-great fics, but I finally found something worth talking about :-) so forever hold your peace isn’t quite something I would read normally? there’s a lot more comedy to it than I’m used to, but it does extend a lot past that (although the banter is ace). this is everything you want in a fake-dating fic but with more originality. it’s not done yet, but it’s still long enough that it’s worth the read!!

REVIEW: becoming - sunnter

(read here)

pairing: Harry/Cooke

as of 8/26:  187,048 words, 41 chapters (incomplete)

description from 1DFF:

be·com·ing (noun) the process of coming to be something. Eighteen year old Cooke Henderson, never really had a normal life. Her parents are worth a fortune and they completely forget about her existence most of the time, and unfortunately her older brother was following in their footsteps. The summer before she begins her freshman year of college, she comes home after completing her senior year at a boarding school in New York, to find everything is exactly the same. That is until she wanders downstairs one morning to see her brothers best friend, Harry Styles, eating the last bagel. All of a sudden nothing is the same anymore. Harry isn’t the same Harry he was when Cooke left last fall. Sure, he’s still an arrogant prick but now he’s hot. Like muscles and tattoos hot. That shouldn’t be a problem really, this is Harry after all. The same Harry Cooke's known for nine years. Their relationship was the same as before she left. Until it wasn't anymore. It happens so quick that Cooke didn't even see it happening, and before she knows it everything's became something it wasn’t supposed to and maybe even more. An AU filled with lots of tea, photographs, parties on the beach, and douchy brothers. Cooke/Harry/and whoever else manages to sneak in. 

hi okay so this fic hasn’t been updated since spring of 2014, but it’s still worth the read! basically it’s the story of this girl who doesn’t feel like she belongs in her parent’s rich world etc, and Harry is her brother’s best friend, and natually, they fall in love. there’s some darker aspects of this (Harry’s abusive step-father & panic attacks), but for the most part, it’s like reading hella fluff at once. and there are some really fucking cute moments. aaaaand the authors mention the Vaccines so much, and I love love love them (and just met them nbd). there’s quite a few mistakes in the writing, and it’s kind one of those fics where the protagonist is glorified, but I still really liked reading this (for the second time)! :-)
