Written for @howdidigethereficfest for "Broken Bones"
(as always, I don’t think you need to have read anything else in this series to understand what’s happening!)

✨ Thanks for reading! ✨
♾️ Near You Now
Fic Post
Explicit | 8K | Larry | Strangers to Lovers | Neighbors | PWP | Grindr AU
When a leaky bathroom sink turns into a minor flood, Harry has to act fast. So, he thinks of the closest (and most unlikely) way to find home repair help… Grindr. The last thing he expects from this quick fix is to find anything long term.
Or... A Grindr AU inspired by this very real DM exchange as seen in this tumblr post.
♾️ Paint a Rainbow Inside My Heart
Fic Post
Teen+ | 22K | Larry | 5+1 Things | Queer Coding | Sexual Identity | Coming Out
A story about hiding in plain sight and the journey to revealing your truth, told in six acts. Or, the five times Harry queer coded with actions, behaviors or clothing and the one time he was too proud to hide it anymore.
🏳️🌈 Written for the @1dpridefest
♾️ The Habit I Can't Break
Fic Post
Explicit | 63K | Larry | Strangers to Lovers | Fitness Instructor Harry | Mild Kink (discovery)
While searching for a healthy alternative to fill the void that one habit left, Louis gets hooked on something and someone totally different. This new experience pushes him way out of his comfort zone, making Louis realize he’s capable of so much more than he could’ve ever imagined.
Or… The one where Louis quits smoking and tries to get healthy, and Harry is the fitness instructor who helps him achieve those goals while making him sweat in and out of the gym. In which Harry and Louis still meet at bootcamp, just not the one you’re thinking of.
Featuring Lottie as the supportive sister who drags her brother to bootcamp class, Louis as the grumpy (and very recently) ex-smoker, and Harry as the instructor with exhausting amounts of enthusiasm and one obnoxious pair of yellow trainers.
♾️ Forget About the World Outside, Because It's Just Me and You Tonight
Fic Post
Explicit | 4K | Larry | Post-Brit Awards Smut
Harry’s swept the Brits, bringing home four awards. He couldn’t be prouder and can’t wait to share his excitement with his favorite person, who he knows is waiting for him in the limo to take him home. He can’t help it if his mind starts to wander while the press snaps photos of him with his statuettes. All he can think about is the warm welcome he knows he’s bound to receive.
But first, Harry will have some repenting to do for a particular comment he made to the world about one, Stanley Tucci.
Or... The one where Louis didn’t care much for Harry’s acceptance speech for the Album of the Year award and needs to remind him that it’s Louis (not some bald American twat) who Harry loves more than anyone else in the world.
♾️ Let Your Heart Be Light
Fic Post
Teen+ | 77K| Larry + Ziam + Nashe | Enemies to Lovers | Advent Fic | Christmas Fluff | Slow Burn
Louis Tomlinson, a self-proclaimed holiday-hater, loses his job two weeks before Christmas. Broke and desperate to see his family back home in England, he takes the only job left at the mall as one of Santa’s helpers. Harry is an unconventional mall Santa, the youngest one they’ve had in years, but with as much holiday spirit as any other seasoned Saint Nick. He’s determined to un-Grinch the new guy in Santa’s Village if it takes until Christmas, then he finds out the devastating reason Louis has lost his Christmas cheer. Will Harry be just the thing Louis needs to help him get his sparkle back?
Featuring Liam as the manager at Santa's Village, Niall as an easy-going Irish elf and Harry's best friend, grumpy Grinch Louis and his best friend Zayn and one matchmaking Mrs. Claus.
♾️ Lazy Days and Pancakes for Two
Fic Post
Teen+ | 4K | Larry | Established Relationship | Domestic Fluff
They haven't seen each other in eighteen days. What better way to spend a much-needed tour break than having a lazy day watching shit TV and having breakfast in bed with your husband.
♾️ I Gave Up Hope and Found You Instead
Fic Post
Teen+ | 14K | Larry | Strangers to Lovers | Pirate AU | Fisherman Louis | Fluff/Angst/Hurt/Comfort
The entire village warned him not to go. Still, the peculiar boy from Eroda set sail on an odd-numbered day and, without knowing it, headed straight into the Our Flag Means Death universe. While being held captive aboard the pirate ship Revenge, the boy meets a fisherman named Louis.
Tasked by the captain to teach the reluctant boy to fish, Louis struggles to hide his frustration and hold his tongue. As difficult as it was to deal with this clumsy stranger, the skilled fisherman had worse assignments and more unpleasant partners, but none of them with a smile as bright as this peculiar boy had. A moment of unexpected distress catches them off guard, and both soon find out it’s much easier to catch feelings than fish.
Or, Where the "Adore You" music video ends and the Our Flag Means Death canon begins.
🐟 Written for @erodaficfest
♾️ I Was Born like This, Don't Even Gotta Try
Fic Post
Explicit | 2K | Larry | 2015 Era | Canon Reimagined | Fluff & Smut
A Gucci suit to get on your knees for… Louis and Harry return home after a long day of promo events and cocktail parties. They’re both exhausted, but that doesn’t stop Louis from keeping a promise he made to Harry in the limo earlier that night.
A certain geometric Gucci suit might have played a part in helping Louis’ keep that promise.
♾️ A Simple Twisted Fate
Fic Post
Explicit | 18K | Larry | Strangers to Lovers | Tattoo Artist Louis | Rock Star Harry | Kink Exploration
Global rock star Harry Styles has some time to kill between tour dates and stumbles into a Doncaster tattoo shop with a desire for some new ink. He has a few other desires as well, but those he must keep to himself.
Louis Tomlinson, owner of Twisted Fate Tattoos, has seen enough of the tabloids and thinks he knows everything there is to know about this world-famous rock star, and he’s not impressed.
Harry may be one of the world's biggest stars known for a lavish lifestyle, crazy parties and entourages of women wherever he goes, but he’s more than just what his image and wild reputation suggests.
Things take an interesting turn when Louis finds out he’s been helping satisfy Harry’s voracious pain kink. Bet he'd love to know that not only is Louis a gifted tattoo artist, but an experienced Dom as well. Perhaps they both have something to learn from each other, if only Louis would give Harry a chance. Maybe their paths crossing was more than just a twist of fate, but the universe’s plan all along.
Written for @subharryficfest
⚓ Update (11.1.22): New installment in the ‘Twisted’ universe coming soon!
♾️ Just a Little Taste Before I Go
Fic Post
Explicit | 4K | Larry | OTRA Tour | Kink Exploration
Just before showtime, Harry has a bit of nervous energy and needs help to settle himself before he and the boys hit the stage in Milwaukee. Louis knows just the place.
Or… The one where Harry and Louis just need to... ahem, blow off some steam in a storage closet and wind up dabbling in some unplanned kink exploration—and we find out what really happened before they took the stage that night of OTRA tour… you know the one.
Written for @subharryficfest
♾️ Climbing the Swells
Fic Post
Explicit | 6K | Larry | Enemies to Lovers | Surfer AU | Smut
One surfer out of his depth amongst some territorial locals makes a bold move and a very unwelcome entrance. After things go wrong, another surfer reluctantly takes mercy on him, offering some first-aid and unexpected hospitality aboard his Airstream. A couple dimples and a few wayward curls go a long way to soften one surly local, and what started out as a rough morning becomes a very sunny spot to the day.
Or… The one where a clumsy Harry and a stubborn Louis reconcile their grievances on the beach, with a heartfelt apology from Louis on his knees without saying a word.
🏖️ Written for @hlsummerfest2021
♾️ I Know You Rider (Gonna Miss Me when I’m Gone)
Fic Post
Teen+ | 9K | Larry | Strangers to Lovers | 1990s AU | Single-Rider Line AU
Waiting in line at the Big Dipper, one angsty skater punk gets paired with a chilled out hippy boy, by way of a single-rider line. Together, they ride one of Cypress Gardens’ oldest wooden roller coasters. Will this easy-going stranger in tie-dye make Louis forget his fear of heights, or turn their rickety ramble into a nightmare on steel wheels? Either way, it will be a ride Louis won’t soon forget.
Or… The one where Louis hates hippies and roller coasters and Harry tries to fix that with lots of fun facts, terrible puns and perhaps one very life-changing moment in a dark tunnel.
🏖️ Written for @hlsummerfest2021
🍋 Part 1 of Arcades & Lemonade. Part 2 coming soon-ish!
♾️ Freedom Always Comes with a Price
Fic Post
Explicit | 101K | Larry | Lovers to Friends to Lovers | Memory Loss | Non-Linear Narrative | Angst, Fluff & Smut
A shared dream brings them together onto the X-factor stage, but one decision changes Harry and Louis’ lives overnight. Thrust into a world of instant stardom, they're forced to live a lie to sustain their dreams, but years of living in the shadows and under strict management take its toll.
With the band's impending hiatus, there’s no better time for change, so they think.
Desperate for a solution, they turn to an unlikely source with a radical plan. An unfortunate accident sets everything in motion, but not how they intended, leaving Louis’ memories altered, Harry broken-hearted and full of regret.
Can Harry figure out a way to fix everything? Will he even want to once he sees how Louis moved on after the hiatus? Will Louis ever find out the truth of their past, and can he forgive Harry after all this time?
In the end, two friends find out that memories are elusive, trust is everything and love is the only antidote.

♾️ Longing like a Searchlight
Fic Post
Explicit | 27K | Larry | 5+1 Things | Roommates to Lovers | Road Trips | Mutual Pining | Angst and Smut
Louis moves in with his friend Harry and soon thoughts of his new flatmate are anything but innocent. When it comes to acting on those urges while he’s alone, Louis has no control, and it doesn’t take long for his primal impulses to turn into deep, urgent longing the more time they spend together.
An unexpected family event takes Harry home for the weekend. Will it be the catalyst that finally brings them together, or what tears them apart when Louis overhears what Harry reveals to his mother about his true feelings?
Or... The Five times Louis almost gets caught during a salacious moment of self-care and the one time he did... a roommates-to-lovers fic with lots of feels.
Written for @1d5xfest
Louis: I have to pee but I'm feeling too lazy.
Harry: Looks like urine trouble.
Zayn:
Liam:
Niall: *throws himself on the floor while laughing*
hello yes it’s me!
Ode To Joy moodboard:
I write fics mainly about One Direction (mostly Larry-centered) and I made this separate blog for feedbacks, opinions about my stories, etc!
Feel free to submit posts and ask questions regarding my stories. You can check out my dashboard here >
I have two currently ongoing works!!:
Ode To Joy
“You know.” Louis snapped out of his trance as Ali spoke once again. “When you fell asleep, he stood by your side. He would tell you the story of the sleeping beauty, or sometimes he would try and recite the lyrics of Ode to Joy, only to fail and laugh because he has no passion for reciting classical German music.”
Louis doesn't like to sleep. When he does, robbers get caught, the world continues to spin, and people forget about him. Quite frankly, the shortest he's ever slept is two months, which is yet to be beaten.
AU where Louis is the modern day sleeping beauty and Harry just wants to remember him.
Wyoming (still on the process)
A whistle erupted inside the saloon and Harry whipped his head around to catch where the noise is coming from. Of course. Of fucking course.
He glared and he just wants to wipe that arrogant smirk on the cowboy's lips, wants to grab his Stetson Hat and tear it into pieces, and he loathes him so much that he considers tying him up just to give him a not-so-subtle punch and go back to Idaho afterwards.
AU where Harry is a photographer and Louis is a cowboy with a dark past and maybe a darker present.
And five upcoming works!

never coming home by rainbowsandgucci [8k]
“You alright love?”
Louis sighs, and nods, still keeping his head rested on Harry’s shoulder. “Yeah, better now that we’re here.”
Harry smiles then, just a little, and reaches his left hand over to grab Louis’ left as well, so their rose and dagger tattoos that they’d both gotten at the start of the Revolution are showing.
“Always better together, my Honeyed Dagger.”
Louis huffs out a quiet laugh, and squeezes Harry’s hand. “Let’s go to bed, Cyanide Rose.”
Later, after the lantern has been blown out and their emotions have been sated, Louis presses a kiss to Harry’s chest, and whispers into the darkness. “What if you hadn’t come home?”
Harry’s quiet for awhile, before finally squeezing Louis just a little bit closer to him, and whispering back, “Then you know where to find me.”
Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy by lovelarry10 [10k]
Harry's a barman at Flaming Saddles, a country and western themed gay bar.
Louis’ a customer who’d like to see if the tall barman is as good on the ropes as everyone says he is...
come together by bottomlinsons [11k]
Harry and Louis slept together three weeks ago, and haven't talked.
Their coming group project is gonna change that.
damn your love, damn your lies by ifthat [14k]
“Of course you’d use your free time to go to the gym.”
“Your idea of the best way to spend your free time is annoying your neighbors,” he laughs, dimples carved into his cheeks like marble.
No, Louis likes to annoy Harry. Everyone else on this floor is just an unfortunate casualty.
“No one has complained except for you,” Louis informs him smartly. Which is actually a good thing. If someone other than Harry had complained to him long ago, he would have unfortunately had to stop.
time's never been our side by softhar [31k]
“Come back to me,” the man whispered in a surprisingly deep voice, his sad eyes flicking over Louis’ face. “Please.” he gave Louis’ hand one final squeeze, then turned around and silently left the room, leaving behind the faint scent of lilies. All eyes were instantly on Louis — or rather, on the hidden object in his hand. Everyone subtly crept closer to steal a quick glance, while some started bombarding him with questions about the strange man. Louis could barely register the questions over his own confusion. He brought his hand closer to his face and opened his fingers carefully, revealing a shiny gold pocket watch unlike anything he had ever seen before. When he pressed the small button on the side, the lid popped open and revealed a pearl-colored watch face with small encrusted diamonds in place of actual numbers. “Who was he?” Louis faintly heard someone ask. All he could do, though, was stare at the gold watch in his palm. After a moment, Louis shook his head and whispered, “I…I don’t know.”
To the Ends of the Earth by stylinsoncity [68k]
During a yearlong hiatus, Louis visits Harry at his cabin in Idaho, where long-buried feelings ignite like the fire keeping them warm.
One for Luck by leavingonatrain [96k]
The very first time Louis remembers hearing Harry Styles' deep, deep voice, he's just won gold at the World Equestrian Games and he's officially back on Great Britain's Olympic team. He's also three sheets to the wind, drunk on victory and champagne, and there's a gorgeous boy whispering in his ear. Life's grand.
(AU: Louis and Harry are professional riders on the British Olympic team.)
Say Hallelujah, Say Goodnight by alivingfire [110k]
Louis has been alive since life was a mere concept; he watched the summoning of Man into existence, he was there when Eve took the apple. He’s seen seas break the world into separate pieces, he’s watched empires crumble into dust. He’s seen wildfire consume cities, he’s seen the world painted white with snow. He has known the most beautiful humans to walk the planet, he has watched the most powerful mortals gather their riches and influence around them and then die just like the poorest, weakest humans do. He’s met humans whose motives defy explanation, people who use their lives as battering rams, as tools, as weapons, as chess pieces.
None of that stopped Louis in his tracks.
But Harry did.
Tired Tired Sea by MediaWhore [113k]
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.
Maybe I Should Stop And Start Confessing by larrysfootballfairy
Words: 2k Relationship: Niall Horan/Shawn Mendess
“Why do I have to fall in love with the only straight member of One Direction?” At his plea, Shawn laid his head within his hands, making it difficult to hear as Liam snorted, “You think there’s a straight member of One Direction?” “What?” “Nothing. It’s just, you should really sit down with Niall and tell him the truth. You’re miserable like this and you both deserve to be happy.”
or Shawn gets drunk and upset after being asked about Niall and Hailee’s ‘relationship’. Liam is there to listen. And maybe a simple phone call can clear everything up.
Hey everyone! It’d be great if you could check out @larrysfootballfairy new work!!! It’s super cute!! :) :)

4. Paint The Sky With Stars by kiwikero
Words: 62k Tumblr: @icanhazzalou
On 10 April 1912, Harry Styles boards the finest ship the world has ever seen. Still grieving the death of their mother, he and his sister are being sent to America to live with a callous uncle who cares more about his business connections than family. Harry prepares himself for a long, disappointing voyage alone in his stateroom.
Louis Tomlinson has borrowed and saved, and finally has enough to purchase a Third Class ticket to America. With all of his belongings in a single ruck sack, he boards the Titanic filled with hope for a brighter future. Never one to sit still, he can’t resist exploring the massive ship, and soon goes sneaking into First Class in a stolen steward’s uniform.
By a twist of fate, Louis finds himself in Harry’s stateroom, entranced by the most attractive man he’s ever laid eyes on. He keeps returning day after day, even if he doesn’t understand what it is about Harry that continues pulling him in. That’s all right; Louis has a week to figure it out, and Harry is plenty willing to help.
Except they don’t have a week. They have four days. Because on 15 April, their entire world will be turned upside down.
Or, the historically accurate Titanic AU with a happy ending.
5. Here In The Afterglow by fondleeds
Words: 88k Tumblr: @fondleeds
“If you hadn’t noticed, I don’t have many friends,” Louis whispers, the blossom of insecurity in his stomach unfurling and clawing its way into his throat.
Harry is silent for a long time, and then he speaks; a soft, slow uncurl that makes Louis’ stomach shake. “I’ll be your friend.”
-
1970’s AU. In a tiny town in Idaho, Louis’ life is changed forever by the arrival of a curious stranger.
