FIC REC’S OF 2017 : SUMMER EDITION
TO READ & WIP FICS I’ve picked up to read this summer. There’s some pretty big ones, so we’ll see how it goes. And I’ll probably pick new ones along the way through out the summer months. Hope you all have a lovely summer!
(You can always message me about fics you’d want me to read or go check out, tagging me to posts also works out. :))
WIP’s (these are all updated regularly)
Fools Gold by tvshows_addict
Leaflet for Over Again Inc.
“In relationships, there are three types of people: those who are happy, those who are unhappy but accept it and deal, those who are unhappy and in denial.
Handling this last category is our job: we are professional couple breakers.
To reach our goal, we use all means necessary.”
Or the Arnacoeur AU in which Harry is scheduled to be married to Liam in 10 days and Harry’s mother hires Louis and his team to break them up.
Just Ask Me To by TellMeThisIsNotLove
“You’re telling the truth,” Louis whispers.
“Of course I’m telling the truth!” Harry doesn’t even care that he sounds exasperated.
“Oh my god.” Louis grabs the wall behind him as if looking for support. His body slides down against it until he’s sitting crouched on the floor.
He mumbles something but Harry can’t really figure out what it is. He crouches down, and looks desperately at the breaking boy in front of him.
“You’re telling the truth,” Louis whispers. “You were not supposed to–”
“I was not supposed to do what? Tell me please,” Harry urges, taking Louis’ hands gently in his.

"D-dad? You think I c-can do it? Y-you think i c-can..." Evan trailed off looking down at his feet. And Louis' heart melted.
"I think you can do everything, love. Everything." Louis said while pulling his boy into a hug. "Because you, my little dandelion, are so brave! And so strong and wonderful and so very bright! You will go up on that stage, and you will blow everyone away. I just know it."
They stood in their little garden while hugging each other tightly. His little boy was so brave. Louis was proud of him already
"You know, Mr. S-Styles says the same t-thing."
or,
Where, Louis has a four year old with a stuttering problem. And Harry is always there to help.

Carry This Feeling by Awriterwrites, dimpled_halo (49K) ONE SHOT
There’s something about Louis Tomlinson that makes Harry feel unhinged. It’s in the other man’s stare, in the way he looks at Harry like he knows he’s hiding something. Like he’s not really all he says he is.
Harry’s not so sure it’s fear he’s feeling. Maybe it’s something deeper. Ever since Louis walked into his house, he’s felt on edge. He’s just being himself after all, and that’s usually enough to get just about anyone to drop their pants. But...it’s clearly not working on Louis Tomlinson. It dredges up something oily and unpleasant inside Harry. He doesn’t like it.
He’s got to lock that shit down tight.
*** Harry knows, objectively, that he shouldn't try to get his ghostwriter into bed. He knows. But...he finds it hard to resist temptation when Louis waltzes into his home and his life and turns everything upside down. And, as it turns out, Louis might just need a little turning upside down too.
Maybe We’re Perfect Strangers by starprediction (39k) ONE SHOT
When an EDM festival in the Caribbean touts itself as a “life-changing and transformative experience,” Harry’s not too sure he buys into it. Regardless, Harry wants nothing more than to please his best friend, so he goes along for the ride. What he doesn’t expect is to fall head over heels for the festival’s organizer who Harry discovers is also the object of his best friend’s affections.
in which it takes three days under the tropical sun for two men to fall in love
If It Kills Me by you_explode (107k) CHAPTERED
Harry and Louis have worked together in a difficult office environment for six years. They're best friends; Louis is the bright spot of all of Harry's days. But Louis is in love with Harry, and Harry's engaged to someone else. And that's only the beginning.
The Office AU. More or less follows the first five seasons. A lot of pining and misunderstanding the depth of feelings and rejection and angst, until there isn’t.
Mutability by haloeverlasting (108k) CHAPTERED
Harry and Louis meet in a book club. Life and fiction have their parallels.
