He’s scrolling through his phone as this nervous energy consumes him. He feels like he’s on the edge of something. If he falls, he doesn’t think he’d ever make it back. He catches himself staring at his weather app. It’s sunny where his ex is.

It’s sunny here too.

Week 4 of Round 4 of @wordplayfics

When Niall had said that he was inviting three other friends for a week up at his family’s lake house, Harry hadn’t realised that one of those people would be Louis.

And okay, that knowledge probably wouldn’t have kept him from coming, but at least he would have been a little bit more prepared. Possibly would have worn cooler clothes.

robbers and cowards (33k)

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d almost think that you’re enjoying yourself.” The familiar voice immediately gets Louis’ blood boiling, shoulders tensing as he calmly spins around, trying not to draw any suspicion to the pair. “You don’t know me at all,” Louis spits, managing to maintain the polite smile he’s been wearing all evening. “You’re just some asshole who always ruins my nights.” “If I keep ruining your nights, why do you keep going home with me?” Harry asks, taking a sip from his own wine glass. “I don’t go home with you by any choice of my own,” Louis says. “I think you’re annoying and I have no idea how I keep ending up in your bed.” “You end up in my bed because you knock on my apartment door at two in the morning.” Louis wants to punch the smirk right off of his face. “Maybe you should move,” is what he says instead.

🧶 Pray for some sweet simplicity by by delsicle (237k) A/B/O: Secret Identity 

Louis is the only omega to ever make it in the cut-throat world of competitive motorcycle racing—that is, he would be if anyone actually knew about his identity. Now, his sights are set towards competing in—and winning—the European Grand Prix, the biggest and most difficult race of the entire year, so he can disappear underground for good. He’s close enough, too, until an alpha sports journalist is assigned to follow Louis’s every move as he prepares for the event of his career.

Or, an AU where motorcycle racing is the biggest sport in a heavily divided world, Louis is trying to take control of his own destiny, and Harry is in for more than he bargained for.

🧶 Seeing Blind by @that-idiot-overthere (46k) A/B/O / Blind Louis 

Louis finally turns his head in Liam’s direction, knows his face is showing the longing he’s been aching with ever since it took root in his chest. “What the fuck do I do, Liam? He wouldn’t want me like that, but I want-” his voice cracks, and he turns his face back downwards. “What do you do when you’re not perfect for the person who’s perfect for you?”

OR the one where Harry’s an independent omega who likes to have his fun and Louis is the blind alpha that changes Harry’s priorities.

🧶 Runaway Land by daggerinrose (103k) Enemies to Lovers / Mythology 

Louis is sure he’s stumbled upon a secret, underground nightclub, though that is far from the truth. He’s also pretty sure he’s stumbled upon Apollo, which… isn’t very far from the truth, actually.

Modern Greek mythology AU.

🧶 The Long Way Round by @yourpricelessadvice (44k) Friends to Lovers / Mpreg Louis 

2002 is going to be Louis’ year.

He’d said that about the departing 2001 as well though, after declaring the first year of the new millennium ‘a trial run’. But this year will be different.

🧶 Another One For The Road by @reminiscingintherain (15k) Famous/Non-Famous AU / Mpreg Louis 

She looked up at Louis with a smile. “Congratulations Louis. You’re pregnant.” “Oh fuck,” he said softly, before his eyes rolled up into the back of his head and he promptly passed out.

Or the one where Louis’ on tour when he finds out the hard way that men can get pregnant too….

🧶 More Than You Know by  (64k) Doorman Louis / Miscommunication 

You can’t be attracted to just a voice. That’s what Louis tells himself, but he can close his eyes and start playing the soundtrack of Harry’s voice on loop in his head and he can feel desire coursing through him. He’s never been this fixed on a sound this much. Until now.

Harry is an enigma, from his overpriced gaudy furniture to his interesting box of collectibles Louis hauled to the penthouse the day Harry’s moving van arrived. Louis is intrigued. Hearing the man’s giggle on the phone drug Louis down deeper. If he could just lay his eyes on Harry and put a face to the unique voice, he’s sure he’d be screwed, too far down to ever resurface.

or the one where Louis is a doorman for a luxury apartment building and Harry is the newest resident of the penthouse. Timing fails to be on his side as he tries to catch a glimpse of the building’s newest occupant and prove he’s a call-boy. When he finally does see Harry in the flesh, he’s more captivated than ever. Featuring Liam as a mailman and Louis’ trusted friend and no one knows what’s going on with Zayn.

🧶 Come Out and Play by @dinosaursmate (29k) Polygamous / Smut  

“I have this… fantasy.” Louis smiled self-consciously. “Well, I- I’ve been thinking about it recently, you know?” Harry smiled softly. “Say it, Lou.” “I have this fantasy,” he repeated. “Of… all five of us.” “All five of us,” Harry exclaimed. “Gosh.” Louis buried his face into Harry’s armpit, and Harry giggled softly. — Harry and Louis discover a new kink in their relationship, and it brings all the boys closer than they could have ever imagined.

🧶 If You Love Me, Come Clean by @dreamsmp3 (120k) Strangers to Lovers / Music Industry 

AU in which Louis works at a recording studio where Harry’s ‘up and coming’ and ‘exciting’, soon-to-be famous indie band has just signed a deal to record their debut album at, and Louis’ never even heard of them for Christ’s sakes, but that doesn’t stop him from repeatedly catching the eye of the raven-haired, eyeliner-wearing and slightly dangerous-looking frontman (but he’s not interested, he isn’t.)

🧶 Don’t Move In (Don’t Move Out) by @2tiedships2 A/B/O / Pining Louis 

Only one more week and Harry would be living under the same roof. Gone would be Liam’s alpha scent, quickly replaced with Harry’s. All Harry. Louis was going to fucking die. You’d think Louis would be used to it by now, that Harry’s scent would simply fade into the background like Liam’s did. But Louis had a feeling he would simultaneously be living in Heaven and Hell once Harry moved in.Louis was pulled out of his thoughts when Niall smacked him on the back of his head.“The fuck was that for?” Louis asked, rubbing his head and looking at the bloody Irishman he called his other best friend.“You were basically drooling, mate,” Niall said. “That was a courtesy smack to keep your daydreaming from seeping into your pheromones.”

🥐   Paper Houses by @allwaswell16 (11k) Miscommunication 

“Who is that?” He hisses.

Zayn holds up a hand to stop Louis from speaking any further.

The voice on the other end of the phone continues. “Then, he saw a photo of him on Insta with his little sister and brother, and he was so gone, dude. He basically demanded that I find Louis for him! And he’s never demanded anything from me ever !”

“Pshhhh, Louis’ been jerking off to Harry for years–”

Louis dives from his place on the couch to sprawl across Zayn’s desk, snatching the phone up. There are loud noises coming from the other end of the phone as Louis shouts into it. “Who is this? Zayn has no idea what he’s talking about–”

Someone on the other end has begun shouting into the phone at the same time. “I never demanded anything–”

When model Louis Tomlinson admits to having a celebrity crush on a very famous actor in an article in GQ magazine, he has no idea it will lead to anything. He definitely never suspects he will fall so hard and so fast for Harry Styles. When reality begins to interfere, their relationship is put to the test.

🥐   Our Sweetest Memorial by @goldbootsandvans (34k) Regency

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.

🥐   No More Running by @evenise (5k) Hate Sex 

Maybe this was a mistake, after all. Maybe Harry really hates him and they’re not meant for anything else than a good fuck here and there. And yet, something was there, Louis is sure of it. He saw it. He saw it every time Harry let him held him close, in the darkness of their room, in rigorous silence, both of them too afraid of saying or doing anything. He saw it in the madness running through both of them at every touch.

He’s sure he saw it when for the first time, two nights ago, Harry asked him to stay.

 🥐   Never Understood What Love Was Really Like (But I Felt It For The First Time Looking In Your Eyes) by TheIfInLife (18k)

“So,” Harry continues, voice so thick it’s dripping into Louis’ veins, directing his blood all down to one place. Harry’s hand comes up to grip lightly at Louis’ neck, thumb digging into the spot where his bond mark will be someday. “No one has ever touched you?”

“No,” Louis feels the heat around them, nearly suffocating in the dense mixture of their pheromones. Louis realizes with a violent clench of his arse that Harry’s hard. He can smell it and from how Harry tenses, Harry can smell that Louis is starting to get wet. He feels Harry’s fingers dance along the waistline of jeans, eyes boring into Louis’. Subconsciously, Louis tilts his hips up in permission.

“Can I touch you?”

“Yes.” Louis hisses. He can’t believe that this is actually happening. The tender squeeze that Harry gives has Louis mewling. But, wait. “Wait,”

Immediately Harry’s hand is off of him. “What’s wrong?”

“This doesn’t mean anything right? Like no serious stuff. Because I’m like – I don’t want to bond.”

“No, nothing serious.” Harry’s response in instantaneous. “No strings attached.”

Or the one where Louis and Harry go off to University together and they grow closer in ways they never expected.

🥐  Like a Bullet in the Dark by Vurdoc (99k) Prince Harry / College AU 

Prince Harold Edward Styles Lancaster is second in line to the throne of Great Britain. He is also your average Uni student- or he tries to be, anyway.

With a promise from the press (and his father) that they’ll leave him alone for four years, he sets out to be a student at Cambridge, when he meets his very normal, very working class, very handsome suite-mate, Louis Tomlinson.

Louis makes Harry feel more like a person than he ever has before, which might cause some issues later on- ‘cause Harry has a secret that he’s only told his sister Gemma about.

Little does he know though, that Louis has some secrets of his own.

A Will & Kate Au- with a twist.

🥐  Dancing With Masks by @goldbootsandvans (18k) Actor Louis & Harry / Mpreg Harry 

With awards season coming up and new films on the way for both of them, Harry and Louis’ managers decide it’s time for them to date for publicity. They don’t mind, given that they are best friends and have known each other for ages. Besides, years of sexual tension built into a fake relationship for press, what could possibly go wrong?

🥐 Into Always by @jaerie (4k) Alpha/Alpha 

Harry finds his ex’s knotting dildo and gets a little curious. Louis is more than willing to help out.

🥐 Shuttlecock by SelinOriginal (4k) Girl Direction 

Harry wondered if it wasn’t some elaborate Bend it Like Beckham fantasy, the result of having a Mia Hamm poster on the wall above her bed for an embarrassingly long time in middle school. The reality was, Harry Styles was deeply in love with girls’ footie captain Louis Tomlinson and had been for years. And she had it bad.

A Girl Direction Badminton au complete with butch!Louis, supportive sister!Gemma, and Harry Styles as the self-appointed president of Louis’ fan club.

🥐 Going My Way by @jacaranda-bloom (20k) Mpreg Louis / Strangers to Lovers

“Hey Harry. Really sorry to do this to you but an emergency has come up with Vera’s mum and we’ve had to jump a flight home. My mate Louis is going to take over my LYFT clients while I’m away. He’s got my car and my phone and everything else. Hope that’s okay. He’s a good guy and I think you two are going to get along brilliantly. Catch you soon, Benny.”

OR the one where Harry gets a replacement LYFT driver, Louis is just trying to earn some extra cash before the baby arrives, and they both end up with way more than they bargained for.

🍂   Lambing Season by @helloamhere (24k) Farmer Louis / Secret Identity 

“Shut up,” Louis says, an involuntary grin tugging at his mouth. It’s not every boy who will stand in the middle of a cold barn in a suit and play musician trivia. “I’m Louis.”

lambing season brings sleep deprivation, noisy alarms, cold barns, demanding animals, and warm strangers.

🍂   Into This Mess by crimsontheory (20k) 

The first day of Louis’ promotion is going well, far better than he expected. That is until his new partner shows up, who just so happens to be the guy who stumbled half-dressed out of his flat that same morning.

Or the enemies to lovers detective AU.

 🍂  Just Breathe by @a-writerwrites @dimpled-halo (50k) Kink Discovery 

Louis pops his head into the kitchen, “You alright?”

Harry smiles shaking his head, “Just my clumsy arse at it again,” he says laughing.

“I oughta put you over my knee and give you a good spanking,” Louis mutters, chuckling.

Harry freezes. His pulse races so hard he can feel the blood rushing fast and hot throughout his body, like a livewire, zinging through him in a delirious rush. His mouth goes dry, and his eyes are wide. And when Louis turns around to look at him after being silent for so long, it’s like Louis just knows. He understands. Harry loves him so fucking much.

OR the one where Harry and Louis are on a journey through life together — one that includes discovering dark, hidden parts of themselves that only the other can find.

 🍂   We’re not who we used to be by @microlouis (30k) Road Trip AU

“Harry…” Louis’ voice catches in his throat, thick with tears threatening to fall out, so he coughs to clear it before trying again. “Harry is Liam’s best man?”

“You didn’t know?”

Harry is standing at the entrance of the garage, mouth slightly open and face pulled together. He sets his bag on the ground and puts his hands on his hips. When he does that, he looks just like the Harry that Louis remembers (and loves, he thinks with an aching heart).

“I’m sure I mentioned it,” Liam says, but Louis can tell he’s lying by the way he chews on his lower lip and twists his fingers together.

“You’re all a bunch of dick heads, I’m getting in the car.” Louis isn’t sure if he’s being unreasonable. He has no idea what the protocol is when your ex-boyfriend shows up after three years and nobody bothered to give you a heads up. He’s pretty sure he’s allowed to be upset about it, even if it’s only for a bit.

or an exes to lovers canadian roadtrip au

🍂   Up For It by @jacaranda-bloom (18k) Lads Holiday 

Each year, the five friends take a lads holiday; it’s tradition, and this year is shaping up to be a jam-packed, fun-filled trip with their best mates just like all the rest… or is it?

OR the one where Liam is Mr Organised, Zayn is too perceptive for his own good, Niall is a compulsive matchmaker, and Harry and Louis might just have the surprise to shock them all.

🍂  Never Been Knotted by @allwaswell16 (9k) Beta Harry / Alpha Louis 

Harry doesn’t mind that he presented as a beta. It mostly just makes his life easier and more convenient. There’s just one small problem: he’d really like to be knotted.

🍂   Maybe We’re Perfect Strangers (Maybe We’ll Stick Together) by @hi-larrie-ous (24k) Christmas AU

“Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles are spending Christmas together,” Nick informs him, hands moving spastically in his excitement, eyes wide and smile manic.

Louis blinks at him. “It’s Christmas, Nick.“

“And it’s your job, Louis. This is a huge story, Tomlinson. Think of it. Are Harry and Ed reuniting for good? Is it a romantic reunion or is it Friends and Lovers getting back together? And, Louis, I have it on good authority that we are the only ones with this tidbit of information!”

Louis sighs and drops his head into one hand, using it to massage his forehead and try to rid himself of the headache swiftly growing behind his eyes. He’s not going to win this one. He never does. “Where am I going?”

Or Louis works for a gossip site and, when it comes to light that ex-musical partners (and lovers) Harry Styles and Ed Sheeran are spending the holidays together, he’s sent to see if the reunion the world’s been waiting for is in the works. But at the cost of his own holiday with his family. Louis really hates this job.

🍂   Our love is bitter but I really like the taste by sailingtheLarryship (46k) College AU 

“I know,” Louis says it like he does, “and maybe it doesn’t work out, but what if it does?” “What if it does?” Harry echoes. “Then we could get to be together, fine, and we won’t have to miss out on something we both want.” Harry considers this for a moment, “but that’s like—you’re talking really long term.” Louis smiles and his face lights up in a way Harry really, really missed, “I know.” They look at each other, and Harry’s breath feels lost. He’s lost in all the blue that is Louis’ eyes. An ocean. “Fuck,” he breathes, and this time he doesn’t apologize, but instead he puts his lips on Louis’ and throughout all the water filling him, he still feels like he can breathe when he does that.

or au where Louis is their University’s star dancer and also Harry’s RA. And Harry is the University’s new golden boy who actually has more trouble fitting in than not. After Harry seeks out Louis for advice once, he just can’t seem to stop. The rest is pretty much history.

🍂  Oblivious by @smokingluckiesalltheway (19k) Jealousy 

"You say it’s nothing serious after you’ve been obsessing over it for months,” Liam observes, pausing their videogame. “But now you barely talk about it-” “You guys fucking ignore me whenever I try!” Louis shouts, bumping his shoulder against Liam’s and hurting himself in the process. “You’re postponing sex, when it’s obvious that Luke’s up for it at this point.” Liam ignores him. “For some reason you’ve left Harry in the dark about it-” “What?!” Louis snaps, banging his controller against the coffee table. “I have not!” “And no matter how blatant it is, no matter how fucking ridiculous you both get when it comes to it-” “Shut your hole.” Louis urges, pinching his thigh, as soon as Harry enters the room. “Shush.”

Where Louis gets a little crush on Luke and for some reason Harry starts acting weird.

🍧   Waiting for the tides to meet by @nauticalleeds (59k) Soulmates AU

Louis lets out a deep breath, thinking about Harry’s soulmate. Thinking about how Harry’s soulmate is probably as beautiful as Harry, some person that Louis cannot compare to, and how the universe has chosen them to be Harry’s. Fuck the universe. “Fuck you,” he calls out to the universe. He’s aware of how crazy he sounds.

Maybe he is crazy, with how he’s falling for Harry. And fuck that, too.

Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia — one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate’s. It’s only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he’ll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis’ workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis’ heart.

Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don’t ask why.

🍧   Home Remedies by @kingsofeverything (4k)  Roomates AU

Louis’ hiccups just won’t stop. Harry, his roommate and best friend, is willing to do anything to help.

🍧   Like a Walk in the Park by @helloamhere (11k) Idiots in love 

Louis needs a million dollars, needs a full redo and apology for Mass Effect 3, needs to redeem his birthday massage certificate. Louis does not need to sit exposed under an open sky and control his facial muscles for hours on end in front of his horrible helpless crush and three most merciless (best) friends. But Zayn is running out to the living room to hide all the controllers, so he’s got no freaking choice.

or, OT5 has a park day. Louis will probably survive.

🍧   Traffic Light by @dinosaursmate (7k) Miscommunication 

“Hi!” a blonde girl with heavy eye make-up greeted, putting a hand on his stomach to halt him. “How’s it going?” “Um… yeah. Good.” Harry smiled politely before nodding. “Excuse me.” Harry turned sideways to squeeze past the girl. Maybe he shouldn’t have come here after all. What was the point of the cup system if people were going to come up and flirt with him, even though he wasn’t holding a green cup? Ridiculous. — Harry, a university student fresh out of a relationship, attends a Traffic Light Party. He knew all about the red, yellow and green cups, but the blue one confuses him. What does DTF mean, anyway?

🍧   Light My Morning Sky by @dreamsmp3 (54k)  Hate to Love 

The relatively cliché University AU in which Louis happens to be proficient in Philosophy, Ethics, and keeping his distance, while Harry is in need of a tutor to salvage his grade, and never passes up on a challenge; Zayn and Liam like to gaze wantonly across at each other whilst pretending to read Austen; and Niall is the precarious bond that holds them all together.

(Expect some sappy self-indulgent scenes consisting of bed-sharing, 4 am almost-love declarations, drunk texting, and far too much time spent at the student bar for it to be an accurate depiction of uni life.)

🍧  I Drove All Night (To Get To You) by @chloehl10 Pining Harry 

“Sorry mate, but I think you’re my ride?”

Harry just stared, not blinking at the man in front of him, wondering what he’d done in a past life to deserve this.

“You’re Louis Tomlinson.”

 “I was last time I checked,” Louis chuckled, still leaning in through the passenger window. Harry knew he was staring and not in a polite way, but he couldn’t bring himself to turn away in case this was all a dream, and he most definitely didn’t want to wake up if that was the case. “Can I get in, then? Would kind of like to avoid more photos of my arse in the paper if it’s alright with you…”

Harry’s job as a chauffeur for the rich and famous was not as flashy as he’d thought. Late nights having to listen to the ridiculous demands and whims of these high profile clients leaves him disheartened with the world he thought was all glitz and glamour.

One night his boss asks him a favour. To collect one last client before he clocks off. Only problem is when that client gets into the car it’s Louis Tomlinson. As in Harry’s all time crush. As in future husband and father of all his children Louis Tomlinson.

He can be cool and professional, right?

🍧   knock knock, i love you by @thelovejandles (86k) University/College AU

“Well,” Louis says, searching for something to relieve this tension. “I think if a bloke gets kicked out of his stats exam for a knock knock joke, he deserves to hear the punchline, yeah?”

“Oh!” Harry says, beaming. “I forgot where we left off, what was it again?” He looks overjoyed to be exchanging a shit joke.

“Ah, you said knock knock, then I said who’s there, and then you said Noah,” Louis supplies helpfully. He hates that he’s actually curious about the rest of the joke. “So, Noah who?”

“Oh,” says Harry, in a much different tone, dragging out the syllable. He looks bashful now. Louis cannot keep up with this boy, it’s going to kill him. “Right, well.” He shuffles his feet. Fuck, what kind of knock knock joke gets a boy nervous? “Noah a good place we could get something to eat?”

[Harry and Louis get kicked out of a statistics exam for passing a knock knock joke note, and subsequently fall in love. Harry’s a virgin, there’s a cat, a hot cocoa date, a lot of sex, even more knock knock jokes, and everything is lovely and happy.]

🍧   Just call me inspiration by hereforlou (51k) Writer Louis 

The truth is Louis knows he’s going to hell, if there is such a thing, but it isn’t because he writes erotic fiction for a living. If anything, it’s because his muse, the reason he’s inspired to write about people shagging in increasingly creative ways everyday, is the sweetest, loveliest, most genuine (and completely oblivious) future children-book illustrator in the world.

(Or, the one where Louis is a writer, Harry is an art student, and they inspire each other in very different ways.)

🍧  I’d Still Dance With You by @flamboyantommo (56k) Age Difference 

“Liam, if you met someone that you really liked, would age matter?” Louis asked. “I suppose so; to a point, anyway.” “Like, how young would you go?” Liam thought it over. “Uh… I don’t know. Like, 24?” Louis groaned and dropped his head in his hands. “Why? How old is this guy you like?” “Twenty-one,” Louis muttered. “Hang on. He’s 21, and you’re… what? Twenty-eight?” “Yeah.” “Wow. Um… well, OK. That’s a, uh, that’s a gap.” — Or, the 21/28 age difference fic where Harry is younger than Louis thought he was, and even though Louis’ head is telling him not to pursue anything, his heart doesn’t seem to agree.

💐 Love Isn’t Always on Time 💍

“And I have something to ask you, Lou,” Harry continued, clearly on a roll to get Louis’ heart shattered into a thousand little pieces. “I know if you ever get married I would expect to be yours, but since I’m getting married now… will you be my best man?”

No. Absolutely not. He couldn’t accept this. Not when he’s just realized his love for Harry. How could he watch him walk down the aisle and marry someone that wasn’t him?

But the way Harry was looking at him just pulled at what was left of his heart. His feelings were one thing, but he never wanted Harry to feel like he wasn’t going to be there for him, no matter what.

“Of course,” he smiled wide, hoping it didn’t look fake. “Anything for you, Haz.”

Or, falling in love with your best friend sounds like a good idea, until he comes back from a work trip engaged to another man. A Made of Honor AU. 

For @peachbootylouis!

🍁 Withdrawal Was the Weeping by @becomeawendybird (11k) Girl Direction / Vampire AU 

Confined by life and society, Harry spends her Sunday afternoons walking aimlessly about the countryside as it’s her only source of freedom. One Sunday she is aided by the most beautiful woman she has ever met, but not everything is as it seems. Was it a trick of the light? Was it Harry’s own active imagination? There is nothing to do but try to find her again.

🍁 Walking on Moonbeams by @casuallyhl (41k) Kid fic 

“I see you here every day, and I never hear you play a song of your own. It’s good; why don’t you play it in the daytime?”

Louis looks back at him and quirks an eyebrow. “People want to hear songs they know, songs they can dance to,” he explains, slightly annoyed. “They don’t want to hear stuff like that. I wouldn’t make any money if I played my own songs. They wouldn’t listen.”

The man looks pointedly at Louis. “I listened.”

Or, a Once AU where Louis is a brokenhearted street musician and Harry is a feisty yet captivating pianist who shows him that it’s never too late for a second chance.

🍁 Given a chance, I’d show you my heart by @sweetstrawberryheadache (78k) Friends with benefits / Enemies to lovers 

Louis Tomlinson is a 28 year old journalist living in London and working for the Hoxton District, a famous music magazine. With a 3000-word article, he can basically make or break someone’s career. His world is turned upside down when Harry Styles, hot stuff photographer, gets transferred in London as the new HD Head of Photography. Or the Music Industry AU no one asked for, with Journalist!Louis and Photographer!Harry. Also featuring Niall as Harry’s sensational best friend and Zayn, Louis’ artsy sidekick.

🍁 Easier by @allwaswell16 (6k) O/O Relationship / Soulmate / Pining Harry 

The last person Louis wants to see is his ex-boyfriend who also happens to be his soulmate.

🍁 Beautiful Stranger by @chloehl10 (45k) A/B/O relationship / Strangers to Lovers 

“Did you want to- oh. Uh, sorry, I-” Harry stuttered, licking his lips as he looked over Louis’ bare torso, not focusing on the ocean ahead of him. “You’re very distracting, Lou.”

“Trying to tell me you haven’t seen a topless Omega before?” Louis asked, walking back to his rucksack and grabbing a bottle of suncream out of it before returning to stand by Harry.

“Not one as stunning as you,” he thought he heard Harry mutter as he started to rub the cream into his shoulders.

When Alpha Harry Styles attends the Gucci Cruise 2020 show, he knows what to expect: clothes, clutch bags, and a few too many pretentious people. What he doesn’t expect, however, is to run into an Omega who is more beautiful than anything on the runway.

🍁 We Got Love by @chloehl10 (12k) Established relationship / Kid Fic 

Harry and Louis thought their family was complete. They were wrong.

Part 4 of A Life That’s Good

🍁 If I Stay by @all-these-larrythings (37k) Fake Pretend Relationship / Mpreg Louis

Harry and Louis agree to a temporary arrangement that Harry can’t seem to walk away from no matter how many times he tries.

🍁  Everything I need I get from you by @jaerie (10k) A/B/O / Strangers to Lovers 

In a world where music and sound are just as vital to health as food, Harry is stuck in a town that thinks professional music is a scam and a relationship he never wanted. One chance event changes his life.

🍁 Act Out by @babeharrie (6k) Roleplay 

Harry leans forward so he’s closer to Louis’s ear, and murmurs, “If I was your husband, I’d never let you out of my sight.”

It’s ridiculous. He is his husband. There’s hundreds of photos, and official papers, and rings, and two babies with the last name Tomlinson Styles that prove it. But it’s also possessive, and hot and Louis doesn’t know what he was expecting when Harry told him he wanted to try roleplaying a little, but so far he’s not complaining.

Harry and Louis try to spice it up a little for their 10th year marriage anniversary. Cliché role play ensues.

You Tilted My Hand

By Taggiecb

12K; G

Harry Styles arrives in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island for his first day of a coveted and prestigious summer internship at the Avonlea Chronicle. He's quick to realise that he's out of place in the little band of journalists as he's an art major and they didn't choose Harry to be part of the team!

Thankfully his new boss, Niall, wants to give him a chance. Unfortunately that will mean trying to keep up not only with the stress of the job, but PEI's golden boy Louis Tomlinson, who has a perpetual smile on his lips, and mischief in his eyes.

The Sacrifice by @queer-lads

Words: 3k

It’s almost time to find out who Westgold’s yearly sacrifice will be. Louis is beyond nervous, and scared about his best friend. He doesn’t ever want to lose him, especially for some dumb yearly tradition. He’s always hated it. It’s always haunted his dreams ever since that day when he was twelve, when he was finally old enough to understand and see what the Sacrifice really was.

Or every year the town of Westgold sacrifices an Omega to Coatlicue, the goddess of fertility, life, death and rebirth.

Save You Tonight by @sunshinetommo-28

Words: 4k

Louis is a headstrong Omega in charge of his own life. But he’s more than grateful when an Alpha comes along when he needs it the most.

Whipped Cream by @writingstylinson

Words: 24k

Harry isn’t focused on anything except growing his online photography business and keeping his service dog at his side. It’s important since he’s always being undermined due to his deafness.

The last thing Harry needs are his client’s brother trying to convince him to go out on a date with him.

[Harry is a deaf photographer in charge of taking Lottie’s wedding pictures. Louis is determined for Harry to be his plus one.]

Leave Your Mark On Me by @kingsofeverything

Words: 32k

When Chef Harry Styles’ unbonded Omega designation threatens to derail his career, he does the only thing he can, and goes in search of a black market bond.

The King of Spades by hazmesentir 

Words: 109k

Undercover Metropolitan Police officer DC Louis Tomlinson has worked his way up the ranks of a prominent London crime family without raising suspicion, but when he finds himself pitted against a rising crime boss with a police background and a favoured employee by the name of Harry Styles, everything starts to unravel. Finding himself in the middle of an escalating war between two bosses whose bad blood runs deep into a violent past, Louis has to be even more careful where he steps in case his big secret catches up to him – and if it does, he knows he won’t survive it.

Not to mention he’s falling for someone he can’t have – whose earnestness and honesty is a bright spot in a dark world – he can’t sleep because his nightmares haunt him and he’s in way over his head, but it’s just a game, always just a game, and if Louis plays his cards right he might just make it out alive.

🍍  Swallow The Knife by @crazyupsetter (76k) Do yourself a favour and read this one

“You came,” Louis says, still breathless, clinging to Harry, uncaring that his sweat is getting all over Harry’s presumably clean dad shirt, or that he’s making Harry hold up all of his weight.

“Of course I came,” Harry says. He shifts, one arm curled underneath Louis’ arse, the other spreading wide in the middle of Louis’ back. “If I ignored you every time you pissed me off we would have stopped being friends a long time ago.”

Louis already knows that, of course. It doesn’t do anything to stop the pleased squirm in his belly every time Harry proves it, though. They fight like nobody’s business, both of them too stubborn to pull their punches when they’re arguing, and it used to get them in trouble, but they always make up.

Adrenaline makes Louis loose-lipped, and they both know it. He tightens his arms around Harry’s neck, buries his face in his hair. “I missed you,” he confesses, quiet. “Doesn’t feel the same up there by myself.”

🍍   Who You Are by @chloehl10 (10k)  Established relationship 

“Lou? What is it?”

“No idea, Haz. It’s addressed to us, lemme read it.”

Harry nodded and Louis’ tired eyes skimmed the words, eyes widening when he realised who it was from.

“Shit, it’s been forwarded by Social Services.”

Harry hurried to sit up at that, and the pair of them leaned in, trying to read everything, to work out what was going on.

“Louis… we can’t lose them…”

“They’re ours, Harry. Have been for years, darling. But this is about Oscar…“

Things are going wonderfully for Harry and Louis. Their family has never been stronger. When a connection to their son’s past appears out of nowhere, it makes them wonder what lies ahead for the future of their family

Part 3 of A Life That’s Good

🍍 Whisk me off my feet by @allwaswell16 (5k) Omega Louis/Alpha Harry / Neighbors AU 

When Louis locks himself out of his apartment in just a pair of novelty underwear, he hopes his new neighbor can come to his rescue.

🍍   Fall in love with the moon (and everything beautiful) by @microlouis (10k)

“It’s adorable that you think you can compromise with me on this,” Louis says. He places his hands on his hips and tries his best to look intimidating. “But I am not budging on this. Every book pun you say will result in one quarter in the jar.” “What jar?” Harry asks. He furrows his eyebrows together. Louis rolls his eyes. “Like a swear jar, but now I’m going to make yours ‘Harry’s dumbass pun jar.’ Maybe I’ll have you put a quarter in for every pun you say, not just the ones about books. Niall was right - you tell the worst jokes.” “One time Niall told me I’d never said a funny joke in my life,” Harry says casually. “Funny. He told me that too.” or, louis and harry work in a bookstore together and harry tells dumb jokes and they fall in love.

   🍍   Play Me A Memory by @jacaranda-bloom (26k) Pianist Harry / Single father Louis 

Louis lives with his nine-year-old son Jake in a peaceful beachside community on the east coast of Australia, working as an entertainment coordinator at the local five-star resort. Harry is a recluse who lives on millionaires row and writes musical scores for blockbuster movies. When the roots of a wayward willow tree create havoc at his home, Harry is forced to stay at the resort while repairs are carried out.

Cue matchmaking storms, muffin preferences, laughter, love, and a whole lotta music.

🍍   White Stripes by @allwaswell16 (3k) A/A relationship 

Harry’s roommate is gorgeous, kind, generous, and basically everything Harry has ever wanted in another alpha. The only problem is that he isn’t even sure that his alpha roommate is into other alphas. In an effort to finally get over him, he lets Niall set him up on a blind date.

🍍   Could you love me anyway by @sadaveniren (13k) Kink exploration / BDSM 

Dear Mistress Lorin: I’ve been reading your blog for a couple weeks now and was hoping you’d give me some advice for something that happened with me and my boyfriend. I’m really worried that I hurt him.

aka Harry and Louis begin playing ping pong during the X-Factor Tour. It quickly gets out of hand.

🍍 When i’m set alight by @landslidelouis (14k) Teachers AU / Hate to Love 

Louis and Harry hate each other. Always have, always will. No one is quite sure how they will handle it when their favorite students ask them to lead a new LGBT club at their school.

🍍   No Bunny But You by @crinkle-eyed-boo (13k) Bartender Harry / Artist Louis 

“So you saw the bunnies then?” Harry clarifies, a smirk tugging at his lips.

“Yeah, those were a bit of a surprise,” Liam huffs. “I mean, they definitely weren’t part of what we commissioned from him, but they’re kind of cute, right?”

Harry sputters a laugh.

“What?” Liam asks, the furrow in his brow deepening. “They are cute little bunnies!”

“Cute little bunnies that are fucking,” Harry snickers.

“What?” Liam gasps.

“Liam,” Harry says, trying to school his face into a serious expression. “Those bunnies are fucking.”

A slow Monday night behind the bar turns into something else entirely thanks to a new mural and a new customer.

Monthly Reads | August 2019

Oh, look, it’s the 28th again! Celebrating the launch of Gucci’s new fragrance and the fantastic new pics I had to reread Landslide. Other than that there are 21 fics in this list - and like always: so many thanks go out to all the amazing authors in this fandom who share their stories with us! ♥

Landslide | aimmyarrowshigh , spibsy (lucy_and_ramona) | historical - 1970s - cults - undercover - psychological drama - racism - period typical attitudes - internalized homophobia - PTSD - and more…please read all the tags carefully - 143k The year is 1976. In November, Jimmy Carter will take control of the White House. Americans are meeting Laverne & Shirley at their apartment in Milwaukee. Hotel California diverges from the reign of Kool & the Gang. And the FBI is still reeling from the repercussions of Watergate, the tragedy at Wounded Knee, Operation Family Secrets, and the strategic terrors of the anti-cult movement. That’s what Special Agent Harry Styles has been told is the basis of his mission to an abandoned farmhouse in rural New Hampshire. With his hair grown out long and his shirt untucked, he’s going undercover to do reconnaissance on suspected cult leader Louis Tomlinson, who has led a group of people out into the middle of nowhere, leaving no record of the life he’d had before. All Harry knows is what the agency gave him: Tomlinson’s name, and instructions to figure out what he’s doing with the eleven people he brought with him. In the year that Harry spends undercover and under Louis Tomlinson’s wing, he learns more than he ever expected.

I Drove All Night (To Get To You) | lovelarry10 | famous/not famous - strangers to lovers - pining - fluff - 23k Harry’s job as a chauffeur for the rich and famous was not as flashy as he’d thought. Late nights having to listen to the ridiculous demands and whims of these high profile clients leaves him disheartened with the world he thought was all glitz and glamour. One night his boss asks him a favour. To collect one last client before he clocks off. Only problem is when that client gets into the car it’s Louis Tomlinson. As in Harry’s all time crush. As in future husband and father of all his children Louis Tomlinson. He can be cool and professional, right?

Live Like You Were Dying | YesIsAWorld | car accidents - love confessions - self discovery - 2k I’m in love with you. The phone fell from his hand, and the world went black.

Calling Clifford | noellehenry | fluff - humor - 10k The summer AU where Clifford has his own peculiar ways of matchmaking.

Home Remedies | kingsofeverything (FullOnLarrie) | friends to lovers - smut - 4k Louis’ hiccups just won’t stop. Harry, his roommate and best friend, is willing to do anything to help.

Traffic Light | dinosaursmate | Traffic Light Party - smut - friends with benefits - 7k Harry, a university student fresh out of a relationship, attends a Traffic Light Party. He knew all about the red, yellow and green cups, but the blue one confuses him. What does DTF mean, anyway?

Down On the Farm | kingsofeverything (FullOnLarrie) | bonfires - farm/ranch - smut - 5k Every Friday night there’s a steady cloud of dust That leads back to a field filled with pickup trucks Got old Hank crankin’, way up loud Got coolers in the back, tailgates down There’s a big fire burnin’ but don’t be alarmed It’s just country boys and girls gettin’ down on the farm — “Down On the Farm” by Tim McGraw

Driving On The Wrong Side, Thinking Of You | dinosaursmate | Marcel AU - implied/ referenced homophobia - High School AU - friends to lovers - promiscuity - 25k Louis is the most popular guy in sixth form. Don’t get the wrong idea, he’s a good guy, and he absolutely won’t stand for his friends teasing his neighbour, Marcel.

Restless Lane | jaerie | a/b/o - secret identity - childhood friends - secrets - friends to lovers - angst - 14k Louis had grown used to his boring life back in Mississippi as a stand-in father figure to his siblings. He never expected his childhood friend to show up on his lawn with the heat of summer or that he would remind Louis how much of himself he’d tucked away and neglected. He also never expected to find himself caught up in a tangled web of feelings or secrets that just might break him. Maybe he had never known Harry at all.

Waiting for the tides to meet | nauticalleeds (metamorphosis) | soulmates - pining - miscommunication - angst - fluff - friends to lovers - slow burn - 60k Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia — one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate’s. It’s only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he’ll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis’ workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis’ heart. Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don’t ask why.

If I Stay | Rearviewdreamer | Walk In The Clouds AU - fake/pretend relationship - mpreg - slow burn - 37k Harry and Louis agree to a temporary arrangement that Harry can’t seem to walk away from no matter how many times he tries.

Mirror Touch | pinky_heaven19 | Synesthesia - hurt/comfort - fluff - pining - strangers to lovers - 58k The one where Harry owns a second-hand clothing store, and Louis is a radio host. Louis has mirror-touch synesthesia, which makes him experience what people around him feel. He feels a lot around Harry.

In Your Black Heart (Is Where You’ll Find Me) | graceling_in_a_suit | a/b/o - omega/omega - pirates - historical - 36k Louis Tomlinson has been lying for five years. His crew sees him as a pirate, a Captain, and an alpha; only two of those are the truth. He was content to let the illusion go on forever, but an omega named Harry Styles just had to join his crew and get his warm-vanilla stink all over Louis’ best laid plans. Or: the story of The Captain and The Carpenter.

Supposed to Be | kikikryslee | High School - stereotypes - enemies to friends to lovers - slow burn - hate to love - 26k The Geek Charming AU where Harry’s a film geek, Louis’ a popular jock, and they both need each other to get what they want.

I am mad all about you | godslut | med students - coffe shop - 5k Harry is a pre-med student trying to quit coffee. louis pretends to be spider-man to make kids laugh.

Welcome Back From The Friend Zone | 2tiedships2 | a/b/o - friends to lovers - fake/pretend relationship - mutual pining - 32k The one where an idea to create a fake wedding with the sole intent to receive gifts from billionaires took a turn no one, but also everyone, saw coming.

A Life That’s Good (series) | lovelarry10 | fluff - kid fic - adoption - light angst - 66k Harry and Louis were married young, but always knew that they wanted a family together. Soon, through adoption, Hope came into their lives, and was later joined by her younger brother Oscar. Join the Tomlinsons on their journey in family life. ①  You’re My Only Hope Harry and Louis have been hoping to start a family for a while, but it hasn’t happened for them just yet.

Night Changes | colourexplosion | soulmates - supernatural elements - werewolves - light angst - 40k Louis and Harry are soulmates. (With a twist.)

From The Heart | jacaranda_bloom | coffee shop AU - 25k Every Tuesday, Louis spends his day off holed up in his favorite coffee-come-bookshop, writing his little stories as part of the WordPlay challenge while daydreaming about the resident barista, Harry. Each week a new word prompt is revealed and Louis adds to his series of short stories about Henry, the owner of a B&B in the Cotswolds who has curly hair and dimples, Lewis, his long term guest who just happens to be a writer, and Tigger, Henry’s cat. As Louis and Harry’s friendship develops, could his fantasy world spill out into real life? And how does that reader who leaves the lovely comments with the teacup emoji seem to be able to read Louis’ mind? ①  Henry and Lewis Louis hangs out in his local coffee shop to work on his weekly WordPlay Prompt, speaks to his beloved muse aka Harry the gorgeous barista, embarrasses himself in front of said muse, and receives a comment on AO3 from his favourite reader. ②  Smuturday Louis struggles with this week’s WordPlay prompt before finding inspiration, and a date, in an unexpected place, and could there be more going on with his favourite reader than he originally thought. ③  Tea For Two Louis grapples with what to do about his new found suspicions over his favourite readers real-life identity. ④  Life Imitating Art Louis is taken on a very real journey through his fic back catalogue - life has never imitated art so salaciously. ⑤  Entertain Me All good things must come to an end, including the WordPlay challenge. But while Louis has mixed emotions about its end, and struggling to make sense of the final prompt, he is relishing every aspect of his newly revitalised personal life.
