(your smile is) on every face by @justanothershadeofblue

Harry streams the whole thing, too overwhelmed to sing along, clutching his phone above his head as Louis whips the fans into a frenzy, playing both sides of the stage before staking a claim to the middle. Niall is shouting along beside him, lost in the madness and dancing something formless and frantic and free. Harry doesn’t even notice the pins and needles in his arm until the encore break, tears springing to his eyes as he switches hands and lowers his arm slowly, letting the blood rush back into it. He bites back a sob and glances at the screen. Maybe he could stop streaming, use his phone hand to massage some life back into his poor arm.

Harry blinks. There are fifteen thousand people watching his stream.

Hearts Don’t Break Around Here by sincewewereeighteen

"Another car has stopped at the beginning of the carpet. People are going to collapse any time soon, and Louis knows why. Harry Styles has just arrived. And Louis. Well. Louis is a grown man. He curses himself a hundred times for even letting his heart race in his chest. He knew they were bound to meet tonight. What the hell is wrong with him?"

Or: the one in which Harry's having his big movie debut and Louis sings on its soundtrack. 

It's the Climb by @lululawrence

Louis stretched out his back and turned around, startled to see the most beautiful man he’d ever encountered in his life riding towards him on a horse.

He had to still be asleep. This was one of those super weird dreams people had where the knight in shining armor (or in this case, red sleeveless flannel) literally rode up to them calling their name.

The Hannah Montana AU where Louis is a world famous punk rock singer with a stage name of William and Jay drags him back to Tennessee for the summer. In her attempt for Louis to get back to his roots, he just so happens to reconnect with Harry, and things never go quite as Louis expects them to.

Bitter Ends Turn Sweet by @allwaswell16

It had been four years since Harry first heard the song his ex wrote about him and far longer since they broke up. He forgave Louis long ago, and now his life was focused on his career, his family, and especially his son, Max. But Louis was back in Chicago, after all this time, and he’s not an easy man to ignore.

Or a songfic inspired by the song Chicago

Hello! I was wondering if you had any fics where one or both of them were on reality shows like The Voice, the Masked Singer, AGT, American Idol etc? Not just the classic X Factor.

I read one recently and have been hunting for more!

Thank you :))

'Hi, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some fics for you!

searching for a sweet surrender (but this is not the end) by feelslikehxme

Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, the two most loved coaches on The Voice UK known for their banter on the show and best friendship off. Louis’s determined to win and finally end Harry’s winning streak with Zayn Malik on his team, but Harry’s flirting and Liam Payne have different plans.

— Or an AU based off the Voice where Louis’s Adam, Harry’s Blake, Niall’s Shakira, Zayn and Liam have a cliche Romeo/Juliet love story and Louis’s too old for pathetic pining.

One More Time by BostonKatie617

One More Time is an AU fic, in which One Direction was a four-piece without Louis. Louis works in book publishing and lives in the Boston area where he supports his mum, who is stuck in a nursing home without any hope of recovery.

But while working too hard and caring too much, our protagonist Louis Tomlinson is granted one more extraordinary chance to recover from a broken heart… Maybe find some love… Help some friends… And definitely exact some revenge during an epic singing competition. An epic singing competition that just may include Harry Styles tripping down a stairwell and into the arms of a certain someone.

Is Louis brave enough to put it all on the line one more time?

No One Could Deny by thirstingdragon

Harry knew that the Blind Auditions for The Voice could change everything. He just wasn’t expecting such an immediate turn around.

Hiiiiiiii! Happy new year!! I read this fic the other day, "One More Time" by BostonKatie617,

https://archiveofourown.org/works/46077436

and was IN LOVE with it!

Do you know of any similar fics, with singing shows and competitions that aren't the X factor?

Thank you!!

Hi, anon! You're welcome! I'll have to check out that fic! Here are some more fics with singing competitions!

Out of the Wild by @jaerie

Louis has spent most of his life as a wolf in the wild, Harry has spent most of his life as a human in the city. Their worlds collide during the audition process for the hottest new singing competition. What happens next should have expected.

All Shook Up by @littleroverlouis

Memphis, Tennessee is looking to crown the Ultimate Elvis Tribute artist. A majority of the contestants are content to shake their hips on stage, but singer-songwriter Harry is taking it more seriously. He is confident his voice and charisma will send him straight through to the finals.

He is already polishing his crown before even setting foot on stage, until he meets a fellow competitor. Louis is talented, charming, and a natural born performer. He commands the stage— and Harry's attention.

Harry has his eye on the prize and the Ultimate title, but what happens when someone becomes the ultimate prize?

The Words I Sing by irishvelvet

Louis is enjoying his Hiatus when his management decides that it'd be best for him to be one of the coaches in the upcoming reality show, Next Big Star. He is tasked to find a prodigy he could train, but then he finds Harry. And Harry, he's just everything and so much more.

or

The fic where Louis is the coach, but Harry is the one who opens up his world. Featuring Harry and his extensive knowledge of song lyrics which he uses to flirt with Louis.

“It’s okay,” Louis said with a smile, soft on his features, “Life moves on, doesn’t it?”

Harry’s heart skipped a beat, his throat tightening. Moving on was something Harry thought about too many times to count - late at night, on long flights, in the middle of a crowded train station where not even the noise could drown out the memory of Louis. But hearing him say it now, out loud, made it feel like everything inside Harry was unravelling.

His voice wavered, and for just a second, he was afraid all the truths he had kept so hidden might spill out. But they didn’t. He swallowed, his eyes flicking again to the heavy church doors. All he said was, “Yeah, I guess it does.”

Or, the one where there's always something standing in their way and they keep missing their chance. Until they don't.
