Below are all the fics written for round 10.2 of the wordplayfics challenge.
one heart in two homes by SuperNoah When Zayn and Liam adopt Cody, an older rescue dog whose previous owner has passed away, they expect to spend his golden years giving him a comfortable home.
What they don't expect is to inherit pieces of another life. An old letter, a favourite bakery and a bench overlooking the river. Familiar routines that Cody refuses to forget. As they follow in the pawprints of the man who loved him first, Zayn and Liam slowly come to know Arthur through the ordinary moments he shared with his best friend.
Told across two intertwining timelines, a story about grief, second chances, and the remarkable way dogs carry love from one family to the next. Because a dog's heart is never divided, it simply grows large enough to hold everyone who has ever called it home.
Home is Where You're Hardest by yeah_alright A soulmate AU where adults who are in the same building as their soulmate get an instant erection. Poor Louis has only ever gotten them in huge buildings, so he's never had any chance of actually finding his soulmate when it happens. When he meets Harry, he feels an instant connection, but unfortunately his soft dick doesn't seem to agree that he could be the one. Maybe there's still a way for it to all work out...
Escaping Heartbreak Weather by Blue_Green28 After a mutual friend's wedding Harry and Louis spend one night together in a hotel room.
for a moment I knew cosmic love by we_are_the_same Liam isnāt exactly sure how it works. How heās alive. Heās not sure when it happened, either. He canāt remember his childhood all that well, wonders if that means that memories are stored not in the brain but in the heart.
But the facts are this:
One. Liamās heart doesnāt beat in his chest. It does beat, in its own little box on Liamās bedside table, but he can leave and go to work and do everything other humans do, except he does it while leaving his heart at home.
Two. When Liam falls in love, he doesnāt just give his metaphorical heart to someone. He gives them the box, to take care of for better or worse. He learned that one the hard way, when heād first fallen in love and found that one morning itād just disappeared, ended up on someone elseās bedside table.
Three. No matter what the recipient does with it, whether they throw it out or shriek or call the police - very valid options even if no one but Liam and the recipient can open the box - it has a way of coming back to them, at least until they hand it back to Liam or Liam finds it back in his possession. Until his heart is his again, doesnāt belong anymore to whoever he - sometimes unwillingly - gave it to.
Tied Up Like Two Ships by 4ureyesonly28 "What are you doing on my beach?ā
The two men are about the same age as Liam, he guesses, and the one with the long curls smiles at him sheepishly. "Sorry, we didn't know this strip belonged to anyone." Somehow the deepness of the stranger's voice is in total juxtaposition to the way his unbuttoned shirt blows open in the gentle breeze.
Liam turns his back to them as he gathers everything he needs from the boat. "That's alright," he says over his shoulder. He's too tired to be annoyed with them. "What are you up to anyway? Romantic sunset dinner?" he tries to joke but in the silence that follows, he figures he's hit the nail on the head.
A story about two rival pirate Captains, their First Mates, an assassination attempt, a clueless fisherman, a nosy innkeeper and a tattoo artist too smart for his own good.
Haunted By The Look In Your Eyes by babyhoneyhslt Harry finds out the truth of what actually happened in his last visit to The Winchester Hotel.

ii. heart by StarryDay13 Harry's killed a vampire hundreds of times before. There is no reason this time should be different just because this one is hot and annoying and all Harry can think about. - or Louis pretends not to have the upper hand
Make it So Devine by amomentoflove As one of the resident witches in the village, Harry is used to getting all sorts of patrons in his shop. There are those who have a long list of needs that almost wipe out all of Harryās shelves; thereās those who come in wary of everything Harry has to offer; then there are those who come in with a look of deep hurt and helplessness in their eyes that tugs at Harryās heartstrings. Those ones might be his favorites in a strange, twisted sort of way. After all, heās the only witch whoās knowledgeable in love potions.

You Redefine My Type by LetTheMusicMoveYou And right at the end of the row, is a lime green motorized scooter. It has a white wicker basket hanging from the handlebars. And affixed to the back bumper is a small placard that reads:
I ā¤ļø Men Who Ride š“
Louis snorts every single time he sees it.
Thereās literally only one person in this entire building that scooter could possibly belong to.
And unfortunately, Louis would quite like to experience his riding skills.
(Or the one where Louis is still finding himself after a breakup. Turns out his new neighbor Harry has plenty to show him).
i can feel your heart inside of mine by DaddyAlphaLouisBabyOmegaHarry Harry wakes up from a naughty dream to find his nappy drenched with slick.
Going for those pleasures in the night by Lalalaartje Zayn finally realises he's in heat and Liam rushes home. But of course nothing goes according to plan. Or does it?
the world is just a figment of the fools (so say your prayers) by yourdelicatepov Louis had always been Harry's rock.
While it was Harry who had the enhanced mutated genes in his DNA that made it possible for him to do things any normal human would be physically incapable of doing, Louis was the one with the mental fortitude in their relationship.
Louis was strong and he was brave and he was unafraid and those are the qualities that drew Harry towards Louis in the first place. He was also gentle and caring and fiercely protective, he looked after Harry and supported him through thick and thin and if it wasn't for Louis. Harry would have been lost a long while ago.
Louis was Harry's rock.
But sometimes, Harry wondered if Louis knew he didn't always have to be.
Or, Harry is a vigilante who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders, but maybe he didn't have to carry it. Because Louis was Harry's whole world. And Louis was enough. And he needed to tell Louis that before it was too late.
Got a Black Heart Today by homosociallyyours It's a shitty day and Louis is over everything. Even Harry.
