𩷠Lightning Strikes The Heart  by @fournipplesau, @justalarryblog (E, 130k)
Dearest reader, I present to you your new bulletin of news regarding Shrewsbury citizen's activities. My name is Lady Merriweather and I will be in charge of the updates. I will make sure you are to know all the important details of what is to happen this season. You must know that you do not know who I am and you never shall. But be forewarned; I certainly do know you. I advise you to be on your best behaviour, lest you want the whole town to be privy of your business.
As expected every year, the Lockhart House hosts the seasonâs opening ball, and its invitation is the motive of the hustle in town, and every family hopes for the invitation. This year is no different, but this year everyone's attention is focused on the new Duke of Montgomery, His Grace Harry Edward Styles, and whether he will attend it.
All the omegas will be in their best manner, behaviour and clothes as it is expected. And here, dear reader is where we will find out which young omega might succeed at securing a match, hoping to not become a spinster.
𩷠The Murmur of Yearning by MediaWhore / @mediawhorefics (M, 93k)
Four years ago, Harry Styles was forced into a marriage of convenience to enrich and ally both his and his promised's families. The sudden, and slightly suspicious, death of the Marquess of Haxshire, however, brings great disturbance to Crescentfield Hall and, as his late's husband's closest male relative, Harry unexpectedly finds himself the head of a family he never felt he belonged to. Between a meddling distant cousin hellbent on inserting himself in Harryâs life, his wicked and mistrustful mother-in-law and his late husbandâs advisors refusing to help or take him seriously, Harry struggles in the fight to keep what heâs earned and make the Estate finally feel like home.
Luckily, he doesnât stand completely alone and finds himself an unlikely ally in Mr Tomlinson, the elusive Land Stewart who has been taking care of the property in the shadows for years. Louis Tomlinson is caring, patient, and unlike everyone else, he doesnât seem to think Harry committed a murder.
𩷠Ace of Spades by @allwaswell16 (E, 78k)
Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic.
Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.
𩷠Mead Of Poetry by MyEnglishRose / @lwtisloved (E, 65k)
Under the pressure of continuing the Styles viscountcy line now that he is getting older, Harry sets himself three rules to finally settle down and marry: firstly, the omega needs to be reasonably attractive, secondly, they must be of great mind, thirdly, they cannot be anyone he would ever fall in love with.
Enters Charlotte Tomlinson, the diamond of the first water of the upcoming season and seemingly the perfect candidate to the viscountâs plan, but her omega brother, Louis, is in Harryâs way. Louis only seeks to protect his sister and he sure is not going to let a rake play with her heart.
Or. A Regency A/B/O AU loosely inspired by the second book of the Bridgerton series, "The Viscount Who Loved Me".
𩷠Lend Me Your Hand by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird (M, 63k)
Society has long since decided that the soulmarks everyone is born with are entirely unfashionable. They're just another way for people of a lower class to scam their way into marrying above their station.
Lord Louis Tomlinson, Viscount Loring, on the other hand, has always believed that he will find his soulmate one day. Despite preparing for a match his whole life, he is entirely unprepared for the arrival of Gemma Styles' younger brother.
Harry Styles has been traveling and away from society for over a year. Coming back, he intends to spend time with his sister, and slowly reacquaint himself with life in town. He doesn't need to wait around for a soulmark to determine how his life will play out.
𩷠For the Sake of Propriety by panda_bear21 (M, 52k)
Louis Tomlinson is the caretaker of an estate that is not truly his, and when his Uncle calls upon him to take it back, Louis knows he will soon be out on the streets with four overly zealous sisters to care for. His only solution: wed the eldest two off and pray for the best. When an even better solution unexpectedly presents itself in the form of the charming Mr. Styles, Louis is faced with a difficult choice. But as with all things in the regency era, reputation very well may threaten to outweigh the fleeting matters of his h eart.
𩷠The Earl and His Duke by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird (E, 52k)
Lord Tomlinson, the elusive Duke of Leeds, has suddenly emerged in London for the first time in six years. He is believed to have been abroad. He is believed to have been widowed. He is believed to want to withdraw from society.
Harry doesnât know what is true and what isnât. He only knows that the older brother of one of his best friends is back in town to stay, and that time has taken him from merely the most beautiful man Harry knew, to the most handsome man to ever walk the earth. A man whose gaze probably still skips over Harry like he doesnât exist the same way it did when they were young.
𩷠If I Loved You Less by @allwaswell16 (E, 36k)
Beautiful omega Louis Tomlinson is set to make his come out in London society and determined to find a mate in his first Season. With the help and protection of his oldest friend, Lord Niall Mendes, he takes Society by storm.
Being a wealthy and titled alpha means Lord Harry Styles has grown used to avoiding unmated omegas...until now. This Season he finds himself at every Society event just for a chance to speak with the omega with the flashing blue eyes.
Louis has the aristocracy at his feet and all the suitors he could hope for, but his secrets may ruin his chance at a love match.
𩷠Our Sweetest Memorial by @softfonds (E, 35k)
Ever since Harry was forced to break off an engagement five years ago, he resolved to never marry for the remainder of his life. Now his family must move out of his beloved Kellynch Hall to recover some of their debts that their father had accumulated. The last thing Harry expected was for the new tenants to be related to his former fiancee. And for that fiancee to come back to Somersetshire a much more wealthy man that still holds resentment for their past. A Persuasion AU.
𩷠Lies & Liability by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou (M, 34k)
Harry Styles has only three wishes when he leaves River Dane Manor to go to Town for his first season: that his sister has rented a townhouse that will provide him as many of the comforts of the country life he has grown accustomed to as possible, that he will not trip and fall when he is presented to Her Majesty the Queen, and that he will enter matrimony out of true love, no matter how favourable the match with any which alpha may be.
𩷠he was sunshine, i was midnight rain by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze (E, 30k)
Harry let out a dry laugh. âItâs awkward, Louis. What can I say?â
âIt doesnât have to be. You and I are no longer engaged.â
âNo,â Harry shook his head sadly. âYouâre engaged to Jane. Sheâs pretty. How did you meet?â
Louis sighed softly, leaning back against his chair. âMy parents introduced me. Fatherâs getting old. They wanted me to be married and step up for the family and our estate.â
âOh,â Harry said. âAnd this was recent?â
This time, it was Louis that looked exasperated. âDoes it matter? This was what you wanted, right?â
âI donât ââ Harry stopped short, wondering what he could say. He didnât want this, but he did give it up. He had no right to argue right now. âI want you to be happy.â
or two years ago, Harry left Louis on their wedding day to follow his dreams of becoming an artist. When he returns, in hopes of reconciling, he finds he may be too late.
𩷠Manners and Misjudgements by bluegreenish / @greenblueish (E, 21k)
âEveryone you mention the Duke to raves about him, just like you are defending him now. But no one looks behind the façade he so ably maintains to deceive you all.â
Liam sighs deeply. âYou sound like a crazy man right now, Louis.â
âI will prove to you who the Duke really is, just wait.â
or, the one where Harry is the Duke everyone loves, but Louis thinks he's too nice and decides he's going to figure out what the Duke is hiding. Spoiler: nothing, he's just nice and perhaps a bit clumsy.
𩷠I'm Weaker Without You by The_Halcyonic_Lachesist / @chai-hat-tea (T, 20k)
Alpha Lord Louis Tomlinson is a rake who refuses to settle down. Will he settle down for the Society's most talked about Omega? What about the enticing scent that belongs to the Beta? How will he react to said Beta pursuing the Omega too?
𩷠Something Wicked This Way Comes by @mugglemirror (E, 16k)
They say one can resist everything but temptation. The desire that leads to the passionate pursuit of climax that has built and broken empires. So what was stopping Harry from giving in to the temptation of Louis Tomlinson?
Or A regency murder mystery au where Louis is married to an earl and Harry is a detective. Hatchets are buried but not everyone is as they seem.
𩷠Trust Me Tonight by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt (E, 10k)
After Harryâs eighteenth birthday, his father calls him into a meeting to say that he is to be married to Prince Louis of France in just over a week.
Harry is excited, of course. The arrangement is better than any he couldâve hoped for, with such a young, handsome and kind husband.
There is just one issue: Harry doesnât know what happens on his nuptials, or how to get pregnant to give Louis the heir that he needs.
𩷠Curves of your lips rewrite history by @lunarheslwt (E, 8k)
âKneel.â
The prince obliged like a puppet whose strings had been cut, dropping to his knees in one fluid motion. With his bowed back, compliant silence, and eyes that lowered respectfully; he was a perfect picture of submission and trust. He deserved to be captured by Michelangelo, right at this moment, but alas, Louis found himself to be possessive of pretty things. And Harry was, by far, his most ethereal and dear possession. Made sweeter only because he allowed himself to be.
âGrace becomes you, when you submit to me,â Louis finally crooned, a ghost of a caress across a delicate cheek sparking goosebumps, âyour Highness.â
And if Louis were a less attentive man, he wouldâve missed the quiet gasp that the title weaved with a taunt coaxed out. A smile curled across his lips. So easy to please, for someone who had everything his heart desired at his fingertips.
Or, everyone bows to Prince Harry, but in the privacy of his four walls, the one he is bowing and kneeling for is his knight, Sir Louis.
𩷠I Think I Dreamed You Into Life by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey (T, 5k)
Louis is a writer in the modern times, focusing primarily on regency novels. In his latest novel, earl's son Harry Styles is his hero, but Louis can't seem to find just the right person for Harry to fall in love with. When Louis falls asleep in front of his laptop, things get a little odd: he wakes up inside the world of his book.
