Do you know any good ones where one of them is asexual? Or both are?

ASEXUAL FIC REC

if you like having secret little rendez-vous by busancafe (1k)

louis is a villain sent to seduce the flash after his boss finds out the super hero was gay. turns out he isn't totally gay, but rather more like louis.

Someone is leaving mistletoe all over their shared flat and Louis knows it's not him.

‘96 by orphan_account (2k)

harry and louis love each other very much. it's the nineties in london and everything is nice.

easy by achapterends (2k)

Harry and Louis share a bed. Louis comes out. Harry loves unconditionally.

A Dash of Salt by pinkskies (2k)

Louis has trouble finding dates comfortable with his asexuality, Zayn tries to help him out, and Harry loves memes. There's a deadline somewhere in there.

I Study Rainbows by orphan_account (3k)

He stopped himself mid sentence. Never had he had to say the words out loud. That he was pan. That he was asexual, which was a thing that was more frowned upon than being gay or lesbian or even bisexual. He was ashamed of himself for not saying it aloud. He had no problem with what he was. Never had any problem. But it was just actually saying it that made it more real, if that made sense. It made sense for Harry.

could we ever be enough? by thepriestthinksitsthedevil (3k)

“You know - we don’t have to have sex, right?” Louis asked slowly, turning Harry’s face up to look into his eyes. “I just want to be with you. I don’t want to do anything that you’re not completely comfortable with.”

“I am comfortable,” Harry lied. “It’ll be better next time. When I’m less nervous.”

Or: asexual Harry struggles with finding normalcy in his relationship with Louis, and it takes Louis reminding him that he's too special to have a normal relationship for him to come to terms with it.

The Road to Acceptance by distortedrain (4k)

Louis comes out to the boys as asexual one at a time, in order of age (or best friend-ness). They're awkward, awkward, awkward, except for one of them.

We Put Our Love First by MoreThanTonight (4k)

Strangers Like Me. by kotabear24 (4k)

Harry is a trans woman. Louis is asexual. They are happily in love.

A story about discovering yourself in the safety of the arms of your loved one.

Almost Perfect by ItsTeatimeSomewhere (5k)

Most people don't appreciate the graffiti of dicks going up around the neighbourhood, but Harry is intrigued.

Maybe We’re Fireproof by quietlycrash (7k)

a lightning in your eyes i can’t deny by vanillabeanniall (7k)

The dramatic story of the ace fic you never knew you wanted.

different colors by enterprisecaptainoikawa & kingdavidbowie (7k)

“I’m gonna go try and,” Louis considers his options for a moment. He’s seen hundreds of romance movies, knows how this goes. “Movie magic,” he tells Zayn. “I’m gonna try for that.”

His first grand plan involves tossing an exorbitant amount of cash in guitar boy’s open case. Except Louis doesn’t have an exorbitant amount of cash on him. He’s got a couple of quarters in his jeans, and he’s probably going to need those to ride the bus eventually. Plan B involves tossing a rose into the case, maybe with his phone number scrawled on a slip of paper wrapped around it. Louis is also short on flowers, as it is.

In the end, he does what’s probably the best thing possible: he completely fucks it up.

Like Him by b0yfriendsinl0ve (7k)

Louis must be dreaming, because there’s a pretty boy who’s like him and seems to like him and how can that be real.

Well Here We Go Again by ItsTeatimeSomewhere (8k)

Come On Make It Easy, Say I Never Mattered by madsuptonogood (8k)

Tattoo parlor/flower shop au. Harry runs the tattoo parlor where Zayn gets his piercings done, and one fateful day Zayn brings Louis with him. Niall and Zayn scheme, Harry draws lots of flowers, Louis teases him, because what is healthy affection, and Liam pops in to act like the protective dad he is.

let it be, you can’t make it come or go by wlwpeggycarter (12k)

“My friends and everybody else, they want something, but I- I don’t want it. And it scares me because I know that I should want it, but I just don’t. I feel alone, and like no one understands me. And I don’t know if there is something wrong with me for not wanting it, or if it’s something else, but I’m scared that I won’t be like everyone else when I get older, and I have to lie to people about it, and I just want to stop lying.” Harry takes a deep breath after that, feeling scared after he just told his biggest secret to someone. But, what he said didn’t make that much sense because he left out many important words (i.e.- sex).

Harry is ace, and he meets Louis at a party. They get separated, but they find each other again.

To call for hands of above (to lean on) by starsinoureyes (12k)

Harry finds a cat. She likes him and he likes her. Then he takes her to the vet.

Like to Keep You Laughing by kikikryslee (12k)

Louis gasped. “Are you straight? Oh, I'm sorry, man. You should’ve just told me; I would’ve left you alone.”

“No, no, that’s not it," Harry said. "I like guys. I definitely like guys.”

“OK…”

“Louis, I’m ace.”

Louis snorted. “Kind of full of yourself, aren’t you?”Or, the one where Louis is a frat boy who likes to hook up and Harry is someone who doesn't hook up ever.

The Thinker of Tender Thoughts by SpeakingWithInk (13k)

Louis sits on his hands to stop them from shaking as he adds, ‘and I’m ace.’ If only he had glitter, he thinks. Coming out deserves a bit of sparkle.

Lost in You by loviedovielou (15k)

Harry is nineteen and thinks kissing is weird. This is his first problem, but certainly not his last.

you’re bleeding, but you’ll be okay by strong (17k)

Louis loves people easily, yet it's difficult for him to find someone to love him in return. He meets Harry at a concert neither of them wants to attend.

All These Little Games by jwdish98 (20k)

There were four things that Louis learned very early on in this whole mess.

One, Harry Styles was absolutely beautiful. The most beautiful person to ever live, probably. Two, Louis was kind of in love with her already. Somehow. She couldn’t help it, really. Three, Harry absolutely didn’t feel the same way about her.

And, four, everything-- absolutely everything-- was Niall’s fault.

we could be stars by transstevebucky (23k)

“Me watching makeup tutorials.” His voice is shaking. He wants to deny it, but Harry knows everything and stores the information away for perusal afterwards. “It doesn’t mean anything.”

Harry nods, slowly, like he doesn’t want to scare him away.

“It’s okay if it does mean something, though,” he begins, smooth and gentle, mouth resting against the line of Louis’s jaw. It’s comforting in a way it wouldn’t be with anyone else. “You know that, right?”

or; Louis falls down the rabbit hole of makeup, and Harry's always there to catch him.

Looking in the dark (with an empty heart) by starsinoureyes (25k)

In a perfect world One Direction is not interviewed by idiots. In a perfect world Harry doesn't have to defend his relationship with Louis.

Harry and Louis are out, and the whole world loves their love story, until an interviewer takes hints that they're together for a very long time now, and their libido must have changed since they were young. They don't say anything, until the media turns against them, saying their relationship must be very dull after all these years.The only thing the media doesn't know, that Louis is asexual. His biggest fear is that Harry will leave him because of it, even though Harry grabs every chance to comfort him how perfect their relationship is, and he wouldn't want to change anything.

So when in an interview the host directly calls them out on their sex-life, Harry snaps at them without thinking, outing Louis.

wait up, i’m coming home by hattalove (28k)

The boy beams. It’s brighter than the lights dotting the sidewalk into the distance. Louis is absolutely entranced by the stretch of his lips and the way his jaw gives way to his neck, pale skin and smooth bone. There’s something about him that reminds Louis of a sunset, a painting, a beautiful thing.

or the one where louis finds harry, then loses him, then finds him again. a flawless performance from fate featuring some penguins, some celestial bodies, and a whole lot of tea.

Ace by aclosetlarryshipper (32k)

It’s real. He can’t keep denying it. Denial has just made things more difficult. Acceptance is the first stage to anything.

Louis sniffles and pulls the sun visor down, flipping it open to reveal the mirror. He stares into his own icy eyes, grimacing at the red rim around the edges.

He tries to say the words, but they still feel too final and condemning.

Or The sexuality crisis you probably haven't read.

if you love me by transstevebucky (35k)

“You could pretend to be my partner.” Harry has his hands tucked in his lap, like he’s making a professional business decision, and not destroying Louis’s life.

“No.” He tries, and a grin stretches at Harry’s mouth. “I said no, arsehole.”

“Louis,” and it’s not fair that Harry puts his puppy eyes on, “please pretend to be my fake partner so I don’t have to cry about lying to my mum.”

“Okay,” it’s a nail in his coffin, and he knows that, “I’ll be your fake boyfriend.”

He hopes the alarms in his head stop blaring soon.

au. pretending to be your best friend’s boyfriend has never been so easy.

Crying lightning by frenchkiss (42k)

Louis doesn't remember the accident, and when he wakes up he finds that he doesn't remember any of the last ten years of his life either. All he knows is there's some curly-haired bloke by his bed claiming to be the husband he shares a house, a dog, and a life with, two siblings he's never met before waiting for him in the waiting room, and more niggling questions at the back of his head than anyone can physically answer.

This really isn't how he planned to spend his Wednesday.

It’s hard to find ace fics, and even harder to find good ones. There are a variety of ace experiences in this list. In some of them the main character is ace, but not all of them. Some of them are stories about asexuality, and some of them aren’t. But sometimes it’s just nice to have ace characters without their identity being the centre of the known universe. There are a variety of ships here, so hopefully if you also like ace fics, you’ll find something here you haven’t read before!

10am gare du nord by achapterends [tomlinshaw, 2k]

Nick visits Paris, and he leaves with a promise.

A Most Diverting Adventure by nothanksweregood [OT5/Bressie, 10k, historical fantasy au]

A curious interaction with the village's local blacksmith leads to adventures undreamt of.

Ace by aclosetlarryshipper [Larry, 32k]

It’s real. He can’t keep denying it. Denial has just made things more difficult. Acceptance is the first stage to anything.

Louis sniffles and pulls the sun visor down, flipping it open to reveal the mirror. He stares into his own icy eyes, grimacing at the red rim around the edges.

He tries to say the words, but they still feel too final and condemning.

all things grow by outwardbound93 [Narry, 6k]

Maybe this is doing it all over again, Harry thinks, looking out at a crowd whose cell phone cameras are lit up as far as he can see, like stars in a summer sky. Harry turns and sees Niall there beside him, his face all wonder. The years haven’t touched him a bit. “Well,” says Niall. “It’s not space, but it’ll do.”

Or, Harry acts, and sings, and figures out who he is when he's not.

B-side by blainedarling [Zarry, 14k]

Everyone loves Harry—but, to Zayn, Harry is six foot of infuriating, who spends his time pottering around Craze Records and stealing Zayn's flying saucers. (Or, the record store AU where Zayn's too proud to realise that the only reason he finds Harry so annoying is because he fancies the pants off him.)

but that’s all i want to do right now by nothanksweregood [Gen, 5k, werewolf au]

Maybe 2016 was the year of Realising Things, but it takes a party and a conversation with Nick Grimshaw for Niall to realise some important things about himself.

Now with fully shifted werewolves!

call this what you like by dramaturgicallycorrect [Narry, 12k]

Harry’s looking for love in all the wrong places, and Niall’s not meant to be looking at all.

Cool for Cats by rockinaintnowalkinthepark (PDF) [Larry, 23k]

There’s Louis, there’s Harry, and there’s the lovingly and fittingly named Trash-Cat (formerly known as Lucifer).

divinely decreed and custom made by nightwideopen [Tomlinshaw, 3k, wingfic]

Nick tucks himself into the corner, making himself as small as possible. Meanwhile, Louis kicks his feet up onto the adjacent empty seats, larger than life and reminding Nick how he's everything.

find a way out of myself again by mozartspiano [Narry, 18k]

Harry can't go home so he makes a new one.

AU set in Montreal, Canada.

Finding Lou by stylinsoncity [Larry, 60k]

Louis is the nomadic stranger who wanders into Harry’s bookstore. Harry is the skeptic who falls for him.

It’s Just You and I and This TV by secretspeller [Tomlinshaw, 9k, sickfic]

Nick couldn’t imagine Louis, in all his lionhearted prickly-mischievous pop-stardom, as the object of worry, but Harry sounded genuinely concerned so Nick gave in. “Fine,” he said, “I’ll look in on him after the show.”

Let It Be Lightning by alexenglish [OT5/Bressie, 40k, Pacific Rim au]

Niall Horan made a choice when he enlisted with the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. Leave his family and try to make a difference. He started out as a Jaeger Tech, elbow-deep in the greasy guts of the machines that were supposed to save the world, but here he is, five years later, fresh out of the Ranger Academy with another choice to make:

Assemble a team of Rangers able to pilot two or more Jaegers at any given moment. Interchangeable partnerships, all Drift Compatible with each other. The implications of pulling off this project are astronomical, but at the end of the day, Niall's just worried about how many people are going to end up inside his head.

like deja vu by justawordshaker [Nouis, 100k, magic realism au]

A canon compliant magical realism au that follows Niall and the boys while they try to navigate a post-Zayn world.

Naive Melody by liquidmeasure [Ziall, 23k]

Post-Zayn canon fic. Zayn steps in to help Niall deal with Theo. Niall isn't sure how to deal with Zayn.

Nowhere feels like somewhere (in your arms) by geewhizmo [Zarry, 19k, mermaid au]

Zayn begrudgingly resigns himself to spending a long and boring summer house-sitting in a tiny seaside town with nobody but a dog for company.

That is, until he meets the boy who makes his home beneath the grey ocean waters.

(A mer!au that takes place in an imaginary town off the coast of B.C., Canada)

On the Waves, Down to Earth by missberrycake [Lilo, 46k, Jurassic World au]

In which the Jurassic World luxury resort’s array of cloned dinosaurs aren’t enough to keep the public’s attention. When a crack team of scientists create the genetically engineered Indominus Rex, something goes terribly wrong. The vicious creature escapes, leaving it up to Harry, Liam, Louis, and Niall to save the park from an all-out, prehistoric assault. And if it takes the threat of an imminent dinosaur attack for Louis to realise his feelings for Liam aren’t purely platonic, then so be it.

only words to protect by serenityandtea [Paylinshaw, 30k, HP au]

Hogwarts AU in which Hogwarts really isn't the safest place in the Wizarding World any more, Louis and Liam just want the war to be over already, and Nick thinks he's sending them off to boarding school.

(right in there.) by softly [Ziall, 2k, werewolf au]

When you touch me, my mind is gone. The only words I know are lost inside your body.

something good can work by thebelljarlife [Nouis, 13k, hurt/comfort]

It's the beginning of the OTRA tour and Niall's knee isn't what it should be, and Louis is there to help when he can.

They Lie There Hand In Hand by almizil [Nouis, 18k, youtubers au]

It started when Louis tweeted “Any suggestions for my next video?”, and multiple fans immediately started begging him to collaborate with Niall Horan. The name seemed familiar. He’d heard it before, but he didn’t really care enough to keep up with other YouTubers. “@MRS_ TOMLINSON92 whose that ?” he tweeted back. Cue about 10 or 20 links to the same video. Interesting.

(Or, Louis and Niall are YouTubers who become a duo, then a couple. Their flaws make things complicated.)

wait up, i’m coming home by hattalove [Larry, 28k]

The one where louis finds harry, then loses him, then finds him again. a flawless performance from fate featuring some penguins, some celestial bodies, and a whole lot of tea.

You Didn’t Say You’re Sorry (You Don’t Care That You Hurt Me) by slashter [Gen, 13k]

"I'm asexual," he says, almost immediately, and four sets of eyes widen--he can feel the intensity of their gazes burn into his sides.

[Or the one where Niall comes out to his bandmates but doesn't get quite the reaction he hopes for from one of them]
