i love finding out what degrees my mutuals have. like what the fuck do you mean you do law? you’re a doctor who blog

[allwaswell16]

i feel like high school/middle school sitcoms set the unrealistic expectation of being able to have lunch time outside

[allwaswell16]

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

@homosociallyyours had the worst and best idea of all time, and I am simply here to illustrate it 🫡

- Louis / Harry -

⋆˚꩜｡ There's Such a Lot of World to See by @crinkle-eyed-boo

(E, 125k, Doctor Who au) Louis has seen a great many things throughout his travels in time and space, but only one he can’t explain: He keeps meeting the same boy, who says the same thing to him each time. The boy should be impossible. Maybe he is. A love story that defies the boundaries of space and time.

⋆˚꩜｡ De amore ex tempore by @persephoneflouwers

(M, 101k, historical) the Middle Ages AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late. Or the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.

⋆˚꩜｡ The Garden (series) by Throwthemflowers / @hazzabeeforlou

(E, 70k, reincarnation) Through many centuries and reincarnations, the same fate always binds Louis and Harry’s souls together. A three part story spanning hundreds of years, dripping with sacrilege and doused with angst, dealing with questions of duty and fate and destiny and divinity and holiness, a re-telling of one of the oldest myths known to mankind centered around the bonds of love, a love so powerful that even death cannot touch it.

⋆˚꩜｡ another dream but always you by you_explode / @nobodymoves

(M, 66k, famous/not famous) Harry is a Dreamwalker; he has the ability to visit people in their dreams and help put them on the right path. He's assigned to Louis, who's struggling after the break-up of his band. It's an unusual assignment from the beginning; Harry has a crush on Louis, and Louis's subconscious immediately decides Harry is the love of his life. 

⋆˚꩜｡ the impossible now by @stylinsoncity

(M, 64k, scientist Louis) A wish on Christmas Eve sends Louis to an alternate dimension where Harry is a member of One Direction.

⋆˚꩜｡ Old Photographs & Times I'll Remember by @jaerie

(E, 53k, historical) H.S. was likely the man in the photographs as well as the owner of the suitcase. Who was he? Why had his suitcase found its way into Niall’s attic? Was he still alive and well somewhere in the world? A camera, a suitcase, and a relationship forged through time.

⋆˚꩜｡ Back to How it Was by @lululawrence

(NR, 52k, canon divergence)  the one where Harry goes to bed angry with his bandmates and wakes up in a universe where One Direction was never formed and he has to find a way back home. Home definitely has nothing to do with his best friend and bandmate, Louis. That would be ridiculous.

⋆˚꩜｡ every universe but ours by @28finelines

(E, 49k, canon divergence) louis and harry have been friends with benefits for going on nine years, until a woman claiming to be louis’ fairy godmother decides to send him into a variety of alternate universes to help him find his soulmate.

⋆˚꩜｡ Every Lonely Place by HamPalpert

(E, 38k, soulmates) Harry goes to bed drunk and alone, and when he wakes, he finds himself in an entirely different world. Over and over again, Harry visits a lifetime he’s once lived, across time and dimensions. And wherever there’s a Harry Styles, there���s a Louis Tomlinson.

⋆˚꩜｡ may bring sunshine on its wing by @orleelou

(NR, 31k, childhood friends) Small events can serve as catalysts that act on starting conditions. So, what if Harry went to sleep one day in 2022 only to woke up in 1995 just to learn a single choice can really affect someone else’s life and some things can't be changed?

⋆˚꩜｡ like a beautiful carol, i get lost in your song by wildhalos

(E, 30k, A Christmas Carol au) Louis Tomlinson has become many things in the five years since One Direction ended, and a Scrooge is not one of them. However, there are three ghosts on his doorstep who beg to differ.

⋆˚꩜｡ Say It First by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings

(M, 25k, butterfly effect au) When it comes to Louis, Harry feels like he has spent a lifetime getting it wrong, but on a chance night together where time mostly seems to be on his side, he gets the opportunity to try it all again. And again, and again, and again in an attempt to finally get it right before it's too late.

⋆˚꩜｡ Blinded by the Colors by @fallinglikethis

(M, 20k, It's a Wonderful Life au) After a heated fight with Harry, a maudlin, inebriated Louis Tomlinson questions his presence in his boyfriend's life. In fact, maybe all of One Direction would be better off if Louis had never been put in the band to begin with.

⋆˚꩜｡ A Moment out of Time by dea_liberty / @dea

(E, 18k, Kate and Leopold au) Louis is a creative director in a small advertising firm with a deadline to meet. Harry is a duke who's fallen through a portal in time and space. They meet and fall for each other. 

⋆˚꩜｡ just the galaxy beneath us by liquidsilver

(E, 15k, soulmates) Soulmate fic featuring pirates, pyramids, the plague, and more. Or: snippets from 10 alternate universes in which Harry and Louis could, should, and would exist.

⋆˚꩜｡ Waiting For Daylight by dinosaursmate / @dinosaursmate

(E, 12k, friends to lovers) Louis wakes up to find that his best friend has never existed. In a quest to find him, Louis is sent to several parallel universes. He can't seem to find his own Harry, and he doesn't understand why every alternate Harry wants to kiss him.

⋆˚꩜｡ You Turned Up (Like a Friend of Mine) by @lululawrence

(NR, 10k, friends to lovers) the one where Harry disappears on graduation day only to show up on Louis' door looking exactly the same ten years later. Through a series of strange events, maybe they can finally figure out that they're destined to be together, no matter what.

⋆˚꩜｡ It's Been 5 til Midnight for the Past Hour by tomlinsunshine 

(M, 6k, Doctor Who au) Harry is about to get married, Zayn thinks it's the worst case of cold feet he's ever seen, and Louis is a sexy sexy stranger who also happens to be a Time Lord.

⋆˚꩜｡ The sweetest devotion I've known by insufferablelovebirds / @therosiestofdaggers

(NR, 5k, witchcraft) a fake boyfriend AU with a twist

⋆˚꩜｡ in this life by @alivingfire

(G, 4k, fate) In this life, Harry Styles found Louis Tomlinson early, and never let him go. In other lives, it goes a little differently, but it always ends the way fate intended.

⋆˚꩜｡ Timeless by babyhoneyhslt / @babyhoneyheslt

(G, 3k, omegaverse) After visiting an antiques shop, Harry gets transported through time, and discovers that he and Louis are Timeless.

i'll defend fanfic for my whole life. like the joy it brings is genuinely transformative and indulgent in a way unique to the genre. it isn't meant for a market, it isn't meant to be sold or marketed. it is born out of such care and passion for a media that one must write and must share it, so other folks can enjoy it to. for no other reason than love and joy. do you know how special that is? especially in our current social and political climate.

“When I saw you on the sidewalk that day, I couldn’t believe it. It was like getting another chance or something.”

“Another chance?”

“Yeah, I think I liked you from the minute I met you in Ms. Conrad’s kindergarten class. It just took me a while to realize that’s what it was. A crush.”

Louis blinks. “You had a crush on me? The whole time we knew each other?”

“The whole time,” Niall says, not looking embarrassed or upset at all. “I don’t want to mess anything up for you, but I really like you and I really like spending time with you, and I just… hope that’s okay.”

When Louis moves from her small hometown to the city, she runs into her childhood friend Niall. Despite her surprise at learning that Niall presented as an alpha, she’s immediately drawn to her. As their relationship progresses and Louis settles into life in the city, she learns that love, sex and identity aren’t always as simple as she’d been taught growing up.

And she wouldn’t have it any other way.
