I just saw this TikTok of a Reddit post, and slightly odd question lol but do you have any fic recs that are similar? Not necessarily the catfishing thing but even just something that’s equally as cute lol https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMBHsoYjW/

Hi, anon, so I think I do know what you mean! First of all, the quintessential catfish fic is this one:

When We Were Younger by dinosaursmate

About a week after Harry started visiting this particular chat room, he was watching some kid argue with the whole room about football, personally disinterested as he tipped a bag of crisps into his mouth. He happily chomped on the crumbs, taking a swig from a glass of Ribena to wash them down, glancing at the screen and very nearly spat the squash back out again. His heart was pounding wildly. The display icon of the argumentative newcomer had caught his eye, and not in a good way. He gulped as he clicked the picture, and when it popped up in full resolution, his heart nearly fell right out of his arse.

Sixteen year old Harry Styles’ world turns upside down when he logs on to gay teen chat to discover somebody has stolen his photos and used them as their own.

Here are a few more that I think have the same vibes:

No One But You Got Me Feeling This Way by runaway_train

Harry is well aware he should be studying or watching T.V or cleaning the kitchen or doing literally anything from a list as long as his arm instead of this, but he is. The list of reasons why he shouldn’t be doing this is probably at least double that, but here he most definitely is. He’s sitting on his bed, legs straight out in front of him, back propped up against the headboard and some fluffed-up pillows and his MacBook is resting on his thighs. His jittery fingers drum lightly on the edge of the keyboard as he stares at the tiny digital clock in the top right-hand corner of the screen, willing the seconds to tick by faster. He wants to get into this and get it over with in equal measures.

Or The one where Harry has a particular desire that only Louis can fulfil.

Your secret's safe with me by lightswoodmagic

He knew almost everything about Haz, considered him his best friend. He knew his favourite movies and books, how he liked his coffee, knew how many pets he had and what he was most afraid of. Louis knew how to calm him down when he was panicking, and that he’d lost his virginity to his ex-boyfriend when he was 17. He knew that Haz had curly hair, green eyes, that he was tall and considered himself slightly awkward. He knew his Instagram account that only had aesthetic pictures or ridiculous jokes, but in the all the time that Louis had known him, he’d never learnt, or been allowed to know, Haz’s full name, what he sounded like, or what he looked like.

Louis didn't care.

Or, when Louis' favourite singer comes back and announces he's performing again, him and the rest of his group chat decide to go. When Haz, the man Louis' fallen in love with without meeting him, says that he can't, Louis tries his best to convince him with a drunken phone call, hearing his voice for the first time. It's not until he's at Royal Variety that he swears he can hear it again.

Life Was a Song, You Came Along by rainbowninja167

It's embarrassing how long it takes Louis to recognize his own song. Niall had sung it as a bright, hopeful love song, and that’s honestly how Louis had always assumed it should sound. But this new voice, slow and rough, stripped of any backing instrument, has infused the lyrics with just the tumultuous mix of fear and defiance that Louis can remember so clearly from the night he wrote them.   It’s not a comfortable thing, to feel like someone is singing all your secrets back to you.  

Louis is a songwriter trapped in a lie that could ruin his best friend's career. Harry owns a record store, distrusts everyone in the music industry on principle, but loves Niall Horan's newest album. A modern retelling of Singin' in the Rain.

And here are some recs I've made that will have more for you like this:

🌸 Chaotic & Sweet Fics

🌸 Online Friends to Lovers Fics

🌸 Spy AU Fics

I keep thinking of more like that TikTok to be honest lol, so if you want a longer rec let me know and I'll add it to my to do list which is on my pinned post!

[hlficlibrary]

atonement anon here! thank you for the response on my previous ask. i would like to request fic recs with some similar vibes as the movie atonement has please :) thank you lots!!

Hi, again! So what I tried to find you are fics that have some similar themes to Atonement...like betrayal, forbidden love, historical, and/or false accusations. Hope they fit what you're looking for!

Landslide by aimmyarrowshigh, spibsy

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.

Shooting Stars in the Woods by frenchkiss

A Tudor era AU. Prince Louis I of England has everything a man could ever dream of, but his lack of husband is driving his father, the King, to madness. But Louis doesn't want any of the eligible bachelors his father pushes his way. All he wants is to be able to do is marry the knight he's been in love with for two years now.

The love story of a royal and his servant, separated by class but joined by heart. Their relationship has remained a careful secret for a long time now, but when a threat to the kingdom forces them both to leave the palace, it turns out their secret isn't the only one that could topple everything they’ve ever known.

Victorian Boy by audreyhheart

Victorian AU. Harry the virgin Duke of Somerset knows little of love, while Louis the sly Duke of Warwick knows too much. When the two dukes come together for the Bilsdale fox hunt in York, Harry finds himself drawn into Louis' bed. But when secrets from Louis' dark past come to light, Harry fears that the fox isn't the only one being hunted.

Echoes & Omens by @itsmotivatingcara

Echoes of the dead come in many forms. Their imprints forever tied to the ones who'd killed them.

Louis Tomlinson is able to track the dead using their echoes, they call to him. He's used that gift to aid Scotland Yard in their investigations, with the hopes of studying Criminology at Cambridge University. He's lived a life of privilege and good fortune as a Marquess, son of the late Duke Tomlinson, with his life mapped out since day one.

Until two terrible truths are revealed.

One, he's adopted. Two, his biological parents are London's most notorious serial killers.

Against his family's wishes, Louis travels to Chicago to uncover the truth of their incarceration. Much to his dismay, his biological mother's Lawyer, Harry Styles, wants to take his case. Together, they work to uncover what really happened all those years ago, but perhaps more is revealed than they could've ever anticipated. Trapped in a whirlwind of portents and omens, Louis and Harry find themselves pitted against an enemy they'd not foreseen.

luv the yj reference!!

you caught that so quick omg?? we love an easter egg hunting queen 🙇🏽‍♀️ i’m currently watching episode one like i’m so late to the party it’s insane… i really like it so far though so maybe you’ll see more references crop up as my show watching progresses

[lovelyelbowleech]

i adore the alls fair universe version of azula because she just embodies this image the entire time and it is so funny to me

loving the #ficask

3, 6, and 11!!

Hello hello friend! Thank you @bepoets!

3. This might be a cop-out, because I do think I had a number of happy writing experiences this year, but I think the happiest was writing my very-first TL fic (do you feel that? [is it just me?]). It had been so long since I explored creative writing, and for the longest time I was so intimidated by the quality in the TL fandom to give it a try. There was something just so freeing and fun about getting lost in a (borrowed) world again. Reignited that passion for an old hobby in the best way. <3

6. Umm, in all honesty I feel very hashtag blessed by the response my fics have gotten. It's always a delight when someone finds (and enjoys) the Shipley POV fic because that one is near and dear to my heart, but I reread the Shipley/Deborah crack-adjacent fic recently and, despite it being written in a semi-panicked fugue state, I still think it's a fun one. I understand if the relationship tag scared people off though hahaha

11. Ummmmmm, this was difficult, and I might have cheated on the length, but I went with this little bit from give your body love (I won't let you go) because I think it got a lot across re: the state of their relationship in a (relatively) short passage.

"They had been in her office, perched on the couch, enjoying the comfortable silence that neither felt the need to constantly fill. There had been a lot of moments like that in recent memory, independent tasks done in a shared space, an occasional soft chuckle floating between them as they scooted closer to peek at the other’s phone. That had been a sign something in the air had changed between them, Ted was sure of it. It was lighter as of late.

Or maybe his antidepressant dose was finally right. Por qué no los dos?

In any case, the previous Friday had found them in a moment of quiet, each going over their separate travel plans for the weekend (Ted would be taking the Eurostar with Beard; Henry was into documentaries, and he promised him a short film of his journey. Rebecca was flying [commercial]; she had an appointment with a couturier). They would both arrive a day early, a fact shared with a smile and no additional elaboration, until his phone buzzed on the seat next to him. Fifteen times in a row."

I REALLY love your Dilf Namor, I'm obsessed. I hope you would write more of him.

You're amazing ❣️

tysm, lovey!! 💖💖 so glad so many of y’all are loving and i’ll keep writing as long as there is interest and y’all keep sending in thotty thots!

[stonyslovestory]

“I’m sorry. I’m drunk. I don’t know what I’m thinking. Please don’t hang up. I just…” He fumbles before saying, “I just wanted to see how you were. Talk to you,”

“Why?” He asks.

“Because…” Harry laughs wetly, “Can’t I just? It’s been four fucking years, Louis. I think we can manage a fucking phone call,”

Louis finishes his cigarette, contemplating what to say to Harry. They don’t do this anymore. He doesn’t know what he’s getting himself into.

Hi!! I was wondering if you had abo fic recs where they actually transform into wolves? I remember reading shyserious' But Please Don't Bite and loving it (even though I think it's deleted now) but I can't recall any others of the sort. preferred alpha Louis but I'm not fussed

Hiiiiiii! Here is your omegaverse shapeshifters rec! Happy reading!

[faytalepsy]

Andylind + "If you die here, I'll fucking kill you"

"The plan was never to let Silva run you through with a fucking sword." Her face was pinched in a tense frown, disapproval etched into every wrinkle.

His general's silhouette was a dark smudge against the empty gray sky. The vast canopy of nothingness left his eyes to dart around, trying to stay focused in spite of the overwhelming pain radiating from his abdomen. So naturally, they focused on her, as always.

Only Rosalind and the boundless nothingness overhead. Just what his life had become within a few simple minutes. 

“You said to stop Saul.” The ragged pants interrupting his sentence sent sparks of pain through his chest. A wheezing wet cough followed them and he felt a trickle of blood escape his lips to drip into his beard.

He had done as she commanded. And when he had drawn his blade, he had carved his own fate into stone. He was almost thankful for the pain, the blood loss making his mind light so it couldn’t dwell too much on what had happened. How he had lost his best friend, his son, his last shrapnel of morals in one simple duel. And it felt like he would lose his life too. All for her. 

“Just shut the fuck up.” His general's hands were stained red with his blood as she pressed onto the hole in his stomach. He took another shuddering breath. It was all worth it.

"You could just say you'd miss me." He tried to smirk at her, the muscles of his face stretching taunt. Breathing became harder, his heart racing. Pumping his blood, his life out of the wound so it could seep into the grass.

Swagger had always been his shield, his way of saying what Rosalind would shy away from hearing. Make it a joke, make it light and she would roll her eyes and call him an idiot but she would overlook the thinly veiled truth between them. And still, it was painstakingly obvious.

He had taken Saul's blade for her. He was bleeding out for her. 

He had come so far from the arrogant boy that had become intrigued by the stone-hearted war general now kneeling next to him. He had thrown away that naivety for her as well. But the one thing that stayed the same was the burning hunger inside of him, craving her praise, her attention, a simple scrap of acknowledgement. Pathetic as it might be, pathetic as she so often called him, for once the subtle hints and tells he had learned to interpret weren’t enough. This one time he needed to hear.

Say it.

He willed her.

With a sharp motion, Rosalind wiped a stray strand of hair out of her face, leaving a smudge of his blood on her pale forehead. In a twisted way, it suited her. Turning her into a painting made by an artist trying to capture her iron-willed determination. His general, who could command the skies. Her lips thinned further, anger leaking out of every pore.

"If you die here, I'll fucking kill you." 

There was no doubt in his mind that she meant it. He swallowed the metallic taste of blood.

“Because you would miss me.” His lopsided smirk slipped from his face, fingers digging into the soft ground. Blackness started to creep in on the edge of his vision and only logic told him the roaring in his ears was all in his mind. Still, he clawed at consciousness, straining to hear her answer, see her face. Anything would be enough. A flicker of acknowledgement.

Rosalind's eyes blazed white as she refocused on the damage Saul's sword had dealt.

“Because I have plans for you. And you will do as I say.”

🤡 😈 💔

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?: trying to figure this out was legitimately bonkers bc i remember nothing about any of my fics BUT i do recall cracking up like, the whole time i wrote you're my christmas (a gift that's sure to last), because it's just like...a bunch of half-drunk party banter between everyone at mid-wilshire. i find those scenes difficult to write but also very fun at the same time. especially tickled by:

Tim’s not surprised to find her now holding court with Bailey, Nolan, and James, her drink in one hand, her other gesturing wildly around her head as the group laughs at her. He slides the plate onto the counter between them, then drapes his arm around her lazily, his fingers curving around her waist as she continues what seems to be a story about the two of them, if the looks he’s getting from Nolan and James are any indicator. “So, I’m about three jello shots in and I’m already not having a great time, especially because somebody,” she pokes Tim in the ribs with her thumb, “isn’t even wearing an ugly sweater, which we’d discussed him doing the night before.” Tim realizes she’s talking about the year before and shakes his head, but a smile eases its way onto his face as he takes another sip of his whiskey. “That’s the least surprising thing you’ve said so far,” Nolan shrugs, popping a miniature crab cake into his mouth. “I don’t know why you expected Tim to show up in an ugly sweater. I don’t think he owns one.” “I don’t,” Tim nods, raising his glass over to Nolan. “See?” Lucy scoffs, rolling her eyes. “Okay, that’s not the point at all.”  “No, the point is that he was supposed to at least have an ugly sweater on,” Bailey offers, gesturing with her wine glass. “I’m sure it would’ve been way easier to ignore him if he had looked,” she trails off, glancing over at Tim. “Yeah, if he hadn’t looked ridiculously attractive.” “The man can’t help that,” James shrugs, and Tim wrinkles his nose down at Lucy, his eyes narrow. “Why are we doing this?"

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?: i feel like the answer to this is supposed to be yes but is probably no? i am sure there are moments it's felt like it but i am typically just kind of like bopping around writing in a vacuum and then when people read it i'm like oh right that was released publicly heh

except maybe we're all ghost stories at the end. that fic i totally wrote to be mean to my readers in a non-playful way. whoops!

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?: oof...i think about the tim from maybe we're all ghost stories at the end a lot, but i feel like none of the other fic-chenfords i have in my head have really broken my heart. now, the little chenfords that live in unwritten things and swirl around my brain all the time? they break my heart 10 to 1. which is silly to say because most of them will never make it onto the page for me, but i think that's why they break my heart more. because the fics i write usually have resolution or at least enough of one that i feel comfortable letting them go, ya know?

anyway this is long let's just pretend i answered this question normally

[lovelyelbowleech]

just caught up with war games and it's one of the best fics i've everrrr read, just wanted you to know that i'm amazed by your ability to craft these characters and make them feel SO real. i am dyinggg for the next update but i will be as patient as u need to work ur magic...

also i'm on the edge of my SEAT waiting to see if shen and kazuma Do It or not... if it's up in the air still just know my vote is YESSSS

Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying! I have had a great time writing them all. Sorry for the (very) long wait for the next chapter! I have taken note of your vote also 😂

Next chapter should be out later today!

[monzabee]

THE WAY YOU BROKE MY HEART WITH THAT FIC??? You’re lucky I love you because I can’t stop thinking about it 😠🤍

i swear i didn't mean for it to be that heartbreaking, i'm promising to write fluff and happy fics for the foreseeable future😭😭💜💜

yes please love me and don't be angry with me, i love you too!!!🫶🤍🤍

[inklore]
