Harry and Louis have been with each other since university; together for almost a decade and married for seven years when their marriage starts to take a tumble.

Harry doesn't think there's anything worth saving anymore, so he leaves. Louis doesn't see the use of stopping him, so he let's Harry go.

so the academy is reviewing whether or not to remove Will Smith’s award and here are some interesting tweets about that :)

Happy 28th! Here are all the lovely fics I read in March:

Sunny Pleasure | jaerie | a/b/o knotting - pregnancy kink - unplanned pregnancy - accidental bonding - secret relationship - smut - 4k They’ve been hiding their accidental bond since Harry was 16 and Louis was 18. Now they’re pregnant and it’s almost time to break the news so they don’t have to keep hiding anymore. They take some soft time to themselves first.

Love On A G String | jacaranda_bloom | strangers to lovers - famous/not famous - smut - 20k “How much longer did you say you were on holiday for?” Louis furrows his brows, tilting his head curiously at Niall. “Another month. Brisbane and then over to NZ. Why?” The devilish smile that curls Niall’s lips is enough to increase Louis’ heart rate. “Fancy swapping your backpacking accommodation and economy airfares for 5-star hotels and business class flights?” Louis feels his eyes nearly bug out of his head and even though he thinks he knows where this is going, he still asks, “What’re you saying, Nialler?” “I’m saying… How would you like to be the replacement guitar tech on Harry Styles’ tour?” OR the one where Harry is a rock star on a world tour, Niall is his tech crew manager, Liam is his tour manager, and Louis is in the right place at the right time.

Love Is a Winning Game | Rearviewdreamer | break up - fake/pretend relationship - exes to lovers - couples gameshow - reconciliation - 47k Before their broken engagement, Harry had his head stuck so far in the clouds that he doesn’t even remember entering him and Louis for something as crazy as a couple’s gameshow until a series of bad, post-breakup decisions puts Harry in the awkward position of needing the help of his ex-fiancé to try and fix the mess he has made.

Mr. Tuesday | jaerie | sex work - prostitution - brothels - religion - consensual sex - closeted character - cheating - forced marriage - off-screen relationship - smut - 7k Tuesday. Harry loved Mr. Tuesday. It was true that most of his clients were regulars, but there was just something about Mr. Tuesday that would make him stand out amongst the others even if he hadn’t booked almost every single Tuesday with him for the past year. It was the first day of Harry’s work week and Mr. Tuesday always eased him into it in such a pleasant way.

The Risen (series) | creamcoffeelou | a/b/o - cults - rape/non-con elements - 1970s - initiation rituals - mating rituals - forced bonding - mind manipulation - gaslighting - Dead Dove: Do Not Eat- 20k I: In search of the next breaking story, Harry goes off to do something no one else has been able to do: get the scoop on Louis Tomlinson and his devoted group of followers. II: Somewhere deep in the Colorado rockies, Harry found a family. A purpose. A home.

Wild Love + Never Slows Down | purpledaisy | friends to lovers - fake/pretend relationship - secret relationship - 159k Wild Love: “Good,” Julia says, clearly pleased to have them both uncomfortable and unable to look at each other. “Now, I only have one more question before you can go. What are you planning to do when this experiment ruins your friendship?” “We said we’d stay friends no matter what,” Harry says smoothly, his chin lifting in defense. “That was our one thing going into it,” Louis agrees. “Stay friends no matter what.” Julia raises a perfectly manicured brow, “That’s all fine and good. But I hope you realize your emotions aren’t going to realize this is an experiment in the end. If one of you falls for the other and finds out those feelings are not reciprocated, you’re not going to be able to laugh it off as a social experiment. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do this, I’m just hoping you’ve considered all of the possible outcomes.” - Two best friends try to date each other for forty days. It’s supposed to be fun until emotions make it complicated. Never Slows Down: “Maybe we should just have one place instead,” he says. “Just move in together.” It’s heavier out loud, the first time either one of them has made an outright mention of it. Harry keeps his back turned, the running water of the sink the only sound. Louis wants to say something stupid, something like, “Just kidding,” or, “Wait, no, that’s not what I meant,” but he doesn’t. Now, out loud, lingering, he doesn’t want to change the words he’s just said or the implication. It must only be a few seconds but it feels like a lifetime before Harry turns off the water and turns to face him again. He swallows and shrugs, “Uh, yeah, maybe.” He meets Louis’s eyes only briefly before checking his watch. “We should go soon,” he says turning to leave the kitchen. “I’ll grab you a jacket.”

there now, steady love (so few come and don’t go) | we_are_the_same | college/university - supernatural elements - fantasy - past Louis/OMC - past character death - depression - suicidal thoughts - angst - hurt/comfort - emotional hurt/comfort - healing - strangers to lovers - friends to lovers - PTSD - panic attack - 42k It becomes just another fact of life. The sky is blue. The grass is green. Louis sees when people are about to die.

nursing on a poison | solitudeandchaos | dystopia - enemies to lovers - enemies with benefits - dystopian world - army - rebels - dark - angst - hurt/comfort - abuse - coercion - social injustice - attempted sexual assault - implied sexual assault - blood and injury - violence - minor character death - torture execution - guns - smut - 28k “William. Will.” Louis jerked away. “Don’t call me that,” he hissed. “‘S not my fucking name.” He closed his eyes and pulled his knees up to his chest, wanting to disappear. “Alright.” The reply was unsure but steady. “Louis. It’s Louis.” or louis is one of many children stolen from their families to be raised by the upper class of the inner circle. he’s pretended to be what they wanted for the last sixteen years. the only respite from that lie comes in the stolen moments he shares with harry styles, son of premier styles. their relationship has always been purely physical, but when louis’ resolve begins to crumble and surviving isn’t enough, the lines begin to blur for them both.

Fate & Chance | zanni_scaramouche | historical - The Illusionist AU - magicians - mystery - thriller - ghosts - magic - magic realism - suicide (of minor character) - angst - no smut - 32k Haunted by his own ghost, the Duke von Tomlin fears for his safety and sanity as the days tick down to his certain engagement with the Crown Prince of Vienna. Meanwhile the travelling magician Hassenheim takes residency in a well established theatre, drawing mass crowds with his awe-inspiring illusions. Is it fate or chance that entwines their paths?

Manners and Misjudgements | bluegreenish | regency - a/b/o - mating - arranged marriage - enemies to lovers - smut - 21k “Everyone you mention the Duke to raves about him, just like you are defending him now. But no one looks behind the façade he so ably maintains to deceive you all.” Liam sighs deeply. “You sound like a crazy man right now, Louis.” “I will prove to you who the Duke really is, just wait.” or, the one where Harry is the Duke everyone loves, but Louis thinks he’s too nice and decides he’s going to figure out what the Duke is hiding. Spoiler: nothing, he’s just nice and perhaps a bit clumsy.

you’re an alpha, harry! | fondjumpedtheshark | collge/university - a/b/o - fluff - humor - inspired by Sex Education (TV) - smut - 33k So, yeah. Harry Styles? He’s an alpha. And he has no clue what that entails. - [or: Right before Harry goes to university, he presents as an alpha. Struggling with his newfound identity in a completely different environment, he seeks advice from the notorious Louis Tomlinson, an omega whose claim to fame is being the local campus sex expert. Sex Education AU.]

Enchanted | brightgolden | strangers to lovers - mpreg - pining - neighbors - lactation kink - smut - 25k “My close friends usually call me H,” Harry mumbles suddenly after Louis wraps up his story. That’s unexpected. “Are you telling me I’m your close friend now?” Louis quips, squinting his eyes at Harry. OR Where Louis finally meets his neighbour. After a few conversations, he begins to realise he is too weak to resist the charms of the new mother and his six month old daughter.

So, you leave home one day.

You leave home to try out for this competition. It’s a singing competition and you think, well no one REALLY makes it on these things. There’s no way you’re going to be the one to get to the end, but you have to at least give it your best shot.

You leave home and you go to this singing competition and you meet someone there, right at the beginning. You meet him and you hit it off and you think, oh, he’s going to make it. He’s going to be famous.

But then suddenly you’re both on to the next round, and you’re TOGETHER. You’re in a group with a bunch of strangers but they seem alright, and the one seems to slot into the space around you seamlessly.

And suddenly you’re onto the next round, and the next and the next and suddenly you’re out of the competition and you lost, but you didn’t really because you’re touring and you’re putting out a single and they’re talking about albums, and—

And it’s years. It’s years of living in each other’s pockets; you and three guys and one guy who means everything to you. Years of singing and recording and performing and touring and living a life that no one but the five of you will ever understand, but really it’s a life that only you and one other will ever REALLY understand. It’s the five of you but it’s also really just the two of you.

And you SEE home, sometimes. You visit, you swing round between the performing and the recording and the promoting and the travel. You see what used to be your home, and then your gone again in a whirlwind. It’s years. It’s five years that contain more than decades. You go and go and go and go and run and fly and perform and scream and go and crawl exhausted back into your bed in the early hours before you’re back up and going and going and—-

And then it stops.

It’s sudden.

It’s like someone just flicked the light switch off.

And the silence is deafening.

You don’t remember being still for so long. No next-steps, no one telling you where to go and what’s happening.

It’s you and your person and a house that you bought at some point in the last five years. It’s barely been lived in, your own mark to place on it still packed up in boxes, things that you both packed up and thought, “we’ll deal with this someday.”

And that someday is here and now and everything is silent and slow and you suddenly find that everything is so much harder. Your relationship has been based around a life so busy and so rushed and so loud that you never had time to sit and think and learn and grow. You unpack the boxes and you unpack each other and things are so much HARDER this way. You unpack trauma and fear and in the middle of unpacking you both lose — people. Loved ones. Your silent life is compounded by grief and you don’t know that you ever learned how to live like this. You weren’t prepared for this part.

And things start to move again. Your person’s footsteps are more sure than yours, they start on their own path earlier. They bring you with them, of course, and you’re indescribably proud, even as you struggle to find YOUR next. What’s next? Why? You have houses that you share and you have thoughts that might be songs but your person’s already out there and beginning to succeed. The house is already a bit emptier when they come and go, and sometimes you follow and sometimes you don’t.

It’s not “before you know it” this time, when four years have passed. It’s four carefully picked-through years. There’s no whirlwind and there’s no rush, you’re going slow and steady this time and you’re watching every minute like a hawk. You’re struggling with your partner and you’re making it through each night by the skin of your teeth and by the fingers clasped together and by wet cheeks and tight grips but you’re making it. It’s four years and you’re finally able to put something out. Something special and something yours, all yours. You’re finally making it with plodding, sure steps. You know who you are and what you are and then—

Then the world shuts down.

It shuts down and you can see from the beginning that this won’t be a quick stopover. You’re back home and your partner is back home but it’s not the gloomy worrying quiet this time. You spent five years in the center of a hurricane and four years holding on so tight because you didn’t know how to survive the silence, and now there’s…

There’s you and there’s your spouse and there’s both of you. Standing up and side by side and weathering the storm together. The houses are filled and bright and loud in the comfortable way. You sing together and write together and have those hard conversations you spent so many sleepless nights afraid of. He’s on tour again and you’re right there, and you’re on tour now, FINALLY, taking those steps on your own onto the stage.

And he’s right there too.

Physically but also in your words, in your songs. Just like you are with him.

You left home.

You left home over a decade ago and never went back. But here, through struggle and heartache and darkness and silence and light and love, you found home.

What If It's Us? by @chloehl10 (lovelarry10) Featuring art and cover by @lapollypocket-detianguis

Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are from two completely different worlds. One a successful pop star, one a bookshop owner with a not so small fan crush on said pop star. Their paths were never supposed to cross - idol and fan was their only destiny. Until it wasn’t.

THE GREATEST THING

by infinitelymint

Pairing: Harry/Louis

Chapters: 1/10

“What’s that on your finger?” Louis asks, his voice higher than usual, slightly panicked as though he’s realised something that Harry hasn’t even begun to comprehend.

Harry looks down on his right hand then, sees nothing and moves on to the left, and—

Oh.

A ring.

Or, Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since the band broke up when a dangerous combination of Niall Horan, tequila, and an ordained Elvis impersonator means that the two of them have to embark on their biggest publicity stunt to date - together.

(aka the semi-canon accidentally married in Vegas fic that has been seven years in the making)

CHAPTER ONE

Updates every Friday - next update April 1.

“It’s been ages,” Harry whispers. The curls tickling the top of Louis’ ear, though a bit higher than he remembers, are familiar enough that any potential awkwardness between them dissolves.

“I know,” Louis chuckles. Although if he closes his eyes - and he does - he can almost pretend it hasn’t been that long.

Until there’s a small, high pitched voice pulling Harry apart.

“Mommy?”
