Snickering to himself, Louis walked further down the aisle. The bus lurched slightly underneath him as it got into motion and he all but fell into the only other open seat. "Oops," he said, righting himself against the awful-fabricked seat. "Hi." Louis looked over to see a guy about his age, slumped down in his seat so his knees were pressed into the one in front of him, with a pair of sunglasses on his face and curls flopping over his forehead. There were shorts high on his thigh, a blob of a tattoo on one of his legs that Louis couldn't quite parse. Still, it startled him for a moment, how attractive he was. 

or When Louis meets Harry on the bus to the England World Cup match, he's pretty sure the universe has made it happen.

A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox. Good afternoon, I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft. Thank you for your consideration. Best, Harry Styles

Or the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.

—Interlude and Part 2: OUT NOW

There was a piece of Harry, lodged somewhere in the middle of his chest, that felt yanked back to Paris. Back to a garden. Back to a man. 

The final part will be out June 17th! 🩷

Together Together by haztobegood

Pairing: Harry/Louis Rating: E Words: <1k Summary: One Etsy witch and a charmed pendant later, Harry was ready. It was time to get his feet wet and see how far this new power could go. He swayed his hips to the right. He knocked his hips to the left. Louis’ gaze followed his every move.

slowly we unfurl as lotus leaves by yourdelicatepov

Pairing: Harry/Louis Rating: M Words: 143k Summary: UNI AU. In which Louis gets cast in what Liam calls his career defining short film, and his co-lead is, well, one Harry Styles. That's just how it begins.

Or, the one where Louis tries not to chase after abandoned dreams and lovely musicians, Harry is a lovely musician who needs to heal, Niall should win the bestest friend award if there is one, Liam just wants to finish his very important gay rom com in time and Zayn is...around.

Better. Older. Wiser. Snapshots of Louis' thoughts during the first day of tour.

Welcome to the island of Berk. Some would describe it as your typical Viking village—small, hard and stubborn. But if you asked Louis Tomlinson, he would reply with the following:

“Berk? It’s twelve days north of hopeless, a few degrees south of freezing to death, and the cherry on top has to be that it is right on top of the meridian of misery. Almost as though fate had pointed a finger at the map and declared, ‘Yes, that’s the place most likely to make you regret being born.’ In other words, it is tough.” — aka the How To Train Your Dragon AU Written for Round One of Fairytale Fic Fest 2025
