YOU, IN EVERY COLOR | 38k | E

But then he thinks of the soft curves and sharp angles he had imagined when he first drew up the sketches for the collection, the specific green of fabric he had picked with the thought of how they’d saturate green eyes, the glossy silks and soft velvets he had once pictured sitting delicately against milky skin. “We’re drunk,” Louis decides on a sigh. “We shouldn’t make any drastic decisions now.”

in which fashion designer louis and his model boyfriend harry have vowed to never work together again, but with the show for louis’ first solo line on the horizon, they decide to give it another shot.

Happy 28th! Here are all the lovely fics I read this month:

where we landed | blueskiesrry | [70k] The leaves were green the last time Harry stepped foot in Holmes Chapel, a stark contrast to the candy apple, butterscotch painting them now, years later. Harry first notices them on the train, gazing out the window with a downturned mouth. A warm something floods his stomach–memories, Harry imagines, of him as a boy, longing for the days when he’d live elsewhere and have to take this very train home for the holidays. He wonders how it’s possible to have once felt eager and euphoric at the sight of changing leaves yet now to feel nothing but tired. He sighs softly, turning away from the trees to look at his daughter, half-curled in his lap, asleep. or: harry returns to his hometown with his sick daughter and more reminders than he bargained for of the boy he once loved when he left a handful of years ago

MARRIED FOR A WEEK?! | gravitycentered | [20k] Hi guys :) You might recognize Harry from one or two of my old videos .. I was tagged in the Married for a week challenge so I asked him to be my husband ! We had to live together for a week and take each other out on a couple romantic dates and that, check out the video to see how it went :) Give it a like if you enjoyed and maybe subscribe if you haven't already. Love you all - Louis x

It's everything else that matters | words_of_my_own | [83k] At forty, Harry has settled down in London, as a single dad and successful businessman. Along comes Louis, his son’s new friend, who turns out to be more than he appears at first sight. Their paths are slowly intertwined as life stories are unfolded and feelings arise. *** "They may only be joking around here… …or the atmosphere has just turned slightly flirtatious. Louis' raised eyebrow and quirky smile adding on to it. It’s fun and exciting, and Harry doesn’t think twice before he throws another glance over his shoulder, just to find Louis steady eyes on him, his teeth digging into his lower lip. Christ, the bloke really is handsome. Sexy, even. And this is definitely not how Harry normally reacts to people of the same sex, but…apparently, he is now."

He Was a Different League (When I Was Nothing Much) | AFangirlFantasy | [21k] Sick of being alone, Marcel is forced (by Niall) to join an online dating app. The idea is well and all, except for the inconvenient fact that he hasn’t moved on from his childhood sweetheart - Louis. If only Marcel could learn to let go, he might actually be able to love again. Or, an AU where finding that 'someone new' actually leads to finding that 'someone old,' and Marcel is painfully oblivious.

I want to wake up where your love is | marcythesassykitten | [166k] “Kinda feels like it is, though. And it’s okay to be pissed at me because of that,” Louis' voice was still the normal feathery sweetness Harry was used to, but it had a harshness to it that he couldn’t place until he looked up and met Louis’ eyes. There was so much pain exposed for Harry to see, for him to be able to pick at, taunt or ignore. Louis was sitting right there, allowing Harry to see all the broken pieces, the sharp edges that had never been mended back together with the love and kindness they needed. In that moment, Harry saw his own pain reflected back at him in Louis’ eyes. He could feel bits of his own heart calling out for him to reach out and allow the two battered hearts to heal together as one. “It’s not. I’m not… I’m really not,” or, a chicago-inspired story about lost dreams, unjust fates, undying love and lots of pizza, repressed feelings, cute kids and, of course, cats

Welcome Home | Jelon | [49k] Louis Tomlinson had to put a stop to his football career for a couple of months and he decided to go back home to rest his mind for a little bit only to find out a really weird coffee shop owner started to visit his mother on a regular basis with just as peculiar but lovely kid named Maxine.

Half a World Away | SilverStuff50 | [10k] Bothy: A bothy is a basic shelter, usually left unlocked and available for anyone to use free of charge. It was also a term for basic accommodation, usually for gardeners or other workers on an estate. Bothies are found in remote mountainous areas of Scotland, Northern England, Ulster and Wales. They are particularly common in the Scottish Highlands, but related buildings can be found around the world (for example, in the Nordic countries, there are wilderness huts).

Happy 28th! Here is my March 2024 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!

Sunshine, Baby! by staybeautiful / @harruandlou (106k)

Louis was the first one down the row for their group. If he hadn’t been they would have never met.

He was turned around, walking backwards and saying to Liam, “No, I’ll get you to a real footie match next,” when he bumped into someone.

“Oops,” Louis laughed, tripping over his own feet. A hand curled around his upper arm as he nearly fell over the seat in front of him. “Sorry about that, mate.”

He turned around, still teetering in his vans, to apologize again, but the words dried in his throat. Another hand gripped his other elbow, steadying him, but all Louis could see were green eyes and dimples.

“Hi,” the man laughed, a bright, bubbling sound. “Are you okay?”

Or Louis is in his first year of law school, Harry is a junior on the swim team dreaming of the Olympics, and they both agree that they don't have time for anything more than friends with benefits... right?

Follow Your Arrow by Anonymous (78k)

Harry was the golden child, blessed in every way; Niall was the charming miscreant, a bad boy; Liam was the future-son-in-law parents of daughters dreamt of, and Zayn was the kid parents wished was their son. But Louis, Harry thought, Louis was the special one. 

It's senior year and everything is about to change.

Where We Landed by blueskiesrry / @blueskiesrry (70k)

The leaves were green the last time Harry stepped foot in Holmes Chapel, a stark contrast to the candy apple, butterscotch painting them now, years later. Harry first notices them on the train, gazing out the window with a downturned mouth. A warm something floods his stomach–memories, Harry imagines, of him as a boy, longing for the days when he’d live elsewhere and have to take this very train home for the holidays. He wonders how it’s possible to have once felt eager and euphoric at the sight of changing leaves yet now to feel nothing but tired. He sighs softly, turning away from the trees to look at his daughter, half-curled in his lap, asleep.

or: harry returns to his hometown with his sick daughter and more reminders than he bargained for of the boy he once loved when he left a handful of years ago

You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home by styleandsin / @styleandsin (43k)

Now, as he’s standing in the doorway, he’s trying not to get choked up. He hadn’t realized how much he missed this: the smell of his mother’s baking, the sounds of each of his family members, the sight of some of his old toys scattered about the foyer where his littlest siblings had presumably left them. All these things scream home, and he hadn’t felt at home since he left this house eight years ago.

 Louis needs a break from everything, from acting and the constant pressure of life in LA. He decides to move back home for a bit, some time with his family is exactly what can lift his spirits. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love. Both with the town he hated so much so that he couldn't wait to leave it years ago and with a curly haired florist that was the complete opposite of the guys he'd often meet in LA.

Something About Liminal Spaces by kingsofeverything / @kingsofeverything (34k)

Searching for inspiration for his latest book, and hoping distance will help heal his broken heart, Louis Tomlinson heads to the village of Piha on the west coast of New Zealand’s north island.

There he meets Harry Styles.

Fifteen years older than Harry, Louis tries to keep his distance, but Harry is impossible to avoid and harder to ignore.

At Risk, I Fold by clare328 / @bearmustard (15k)

2015 is a stream of hotel rooms and whisky on the rocks, tired glances and touching hands under tables. It’s the bears and the bees under a rainbow sky, and Harry and Louis have to figure out how to grow up together, instead of apart.

Wedding Bells Will Never Ring For Me by lousmoonshine / @lousmoonshine (14k)

After a failed proposal a few years back, Louis gets an unexpected invitation to his ex - Harry’s – wedding

Some Kind of Night Into Your Darkness (Colors Your Eyes With What's Not There) by larryismylifesource (5k)

Harry’s body buzzes with heat, like a current underneath his skin, because it’s been too long and his husband is right here and for once they have no obligations other than each other and he just wants.

“Lou.”

And Louis must sense it, the way the atmosphere shifts against him, the way Harry’s eyes get all big and dark with need, because he meets Harry’s gaze and then yanks him down for another kiss.

or, the boys get a day off in the middle of tour and harry and louis use it to their advantage

[topharryficfest]

Welcome to Round 3 of the Top Harry Fic Fest!

About:

This fest began with the intention of exploring the versatility in what is simply a role in sex and not an indicator of one’s personality, gender, etc. We’d like to challenge the idea that just because someone may be inherently feminine in their day to day life and even enjoys that part of themselves does not mean they must only take a bottom, submissive role in the bedroom. It’s to celebrate everything that we love about Harry—his femininity, his love of pregnancy and motherhood, and his shy, gentle nature—and to explore scenarios in which he gets to be a top without erasing those beloved traits just to fit him into a box of what people believe a top should be. We enjoy unabashed displays of queerness and the inherent subversion of top/bottom dynamics that are considered “unconventional” through topics like BDSM, A/B/O, trans identities, and so on. That’s why the mods decided to continue the fest to not only shed light on this very intricate topic, but to embrace Harry in all his maidenly aura!

Rules for Writing: 

● Participants must be 18+ by the sign-up closing date (April 27th) 

● Word count minimum of 1k

● For the consideration of all participants, no underage and no non-con will be allowed; there are no other restrictions on writing explicit/sensitive content, but please tag accordingly.

● All AUs are allowed such as omegaverse, girl direction, mpreg, etc.

● Harry must predominantly top in the fic given the nature of the fest

● All pairing’s welcome as long as they are Harry-centric; Given that the fest’s theme is based on a queer dynamics, all relationships should be queer in nature.

Rules for Posting:

● Fics should be completed by the time of the author’s scheduled posting date; No WIPs are allowed.

● This fest is not anonymous; Fics should be posted publicly on AO3; Feel free to post snippets or teasers (and make sure to tag us!)

● Authors are responsible for their own fic posts and AI generated art or images are prohibited from use in moodboards, posts, etc.

● Fic posts will be reblogged and spotlighted on the scheduled posting date and the fest should be mentioned in the post.

sunday snip ✂️

I was tagged by @blueskiesrry for a snippet. This is from my wip, which is in edits and should be yours in a couple of weeks 👀

Louis’ hands went back into the chest and came out with the slinky top he’d been wearing when they first kissed. It moved through his hands like water, so light it would have slipped through if he hadn’t tightened his hold.  “I was wearing that when-" “I remember,” Louis whispered. He pressed it to his nose, but it couldn’t smell like anything other than the cedar of the hope chest. A zip ran through his chest that in a room ensconced with Harry’s scent, he still held that to his face to chase the memory. That it was as sweet to him as it was to Harry. “That was years ago,” Louis said, looking up at him. “Well, yeah,” Harry said, smiling lightly. “But it was important to me.”  Louis’ eyes stayed on him, intense and bright blue. Like the sky opening up right in front of him. When he looked back to the chest, Harry missed the sight of them.

Live, Laugh, Last Line

NSFW

So uhhhhhhh @harruandlou @blueskiesrry and @bittersweetsin tagged me to do a last line within the last hour. So um. Here I am.

Let me just give a disclaimer here. I was getting distracted all through my last sprint, and I already forgot what I wanted to happen next once before. So when I stopped sprinting, I quickly jotted down a general line of what I want Harry to say some time in the next couple of paragraphs. And it just so happened to be when everyone decided to do the last line 💀 So here it is 🙃

“Come on, show me how much better you can fuck me.”

Heh. There ya go Liz, I followed the law.

Who should I tag 🙈 I’m sure plenty of people have already been tagged but I’ll throw eleven names out there. @justanothershadeofblue @zanniscaramouche @larrysballetslippers @red-pandaaa @alwaysxlarrie @super--noah @hellolovers13 @lunarheslwt @loveislarryislove @broken-beaks @louieshalo

I was tagged by @babyhoneyheslt and @petitommo to post a snippet sooo here's a little snippy snip from my Narry zoo fic <3 (should be out sometime this week)

This had to be the biggest tank he’d ever seen. The glass in front of them seemed to stretch out forever on all sides, the handful of people standing in front of him looking tiny and framed, like a tableau, full of movement and energy.

“Sit, babe?” Niall whispered, and waited for Harry to nod back before climbing down the first three sets, pausing when he was at the bottom and curling up against the carpeted back wall with his knees bent. He patted the place next to him and Harry sat down, a smile still plastered to his face.

“D’you like it?” he whispered, placing his head on Niall’s shoulder, exhaling deeply and taking in the familiar smell of his perfume. Niall hummed in reply, head turning as he followed the paths of the various fishes across the length of the glass. 

“Never thought I’d want to sit and look at fish but, fuck-” he breathed out, “I could stay right here for ages,”

Tagging with love but no pressure <3 @blueskiesrry @enchantedlandcoffee @srldesigns6277 @theeliampayne @louieshalo @huggieshalo and else who wants to join!

[petitommo]

i was tagged by @blueskiesrry to post a snippet, and um. this definitely isn't the final draft, so things might change before this is posted, but heres' a little excerpt from my 1991 fic:

He wiggles onto his back carefully, terrified to put his eyes on Louis’ curled up body. Guitar-roughened fingertips press into his abs when he jostles him accidentally, air getting trapped in his chest as he prays that Louis won’t wake up. He’s gorgeous, face soft and relaxed with sleep, youth reminiscent of Harry’s Louis, of the boy he’d had pressed against him years ago. The painful reminder of what he’s lost twinges at his heart, fingers trembling when he selfishly reaches out to trail them softly against the crook of Louis’ elbow. He doesn’t know if he’s scared to wake him up or desperate to know what would happen if he did. Sneaking out takes every bit of energy out of him, silent tears gathered at the corner of his eyes. He refuses to let them fall, staunchly refusing to admit to himself how big of a mistake this has been. He doesn’t regret it, per say. That’s the worst part. In forty years, there’s a chance Harry will think back on his life and wonder what went wrong. And then at least he’ll have this.

aaand i'm gonna tag @wishingforloushair, @harruandlou, @cc-horan28 and @blueskiesrry (i'm making u post ur whole fic <3)

hey stupid, i love you by @enchantedlandcoffee

written for @blueskiesrry for the 1D Library Valentine's Exchange cover by the amazing @mynightsoutofsight

Teen and Up Audiences | 1k | Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics

Harry, I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even know how to start one of these. I never thought I’d be the type of alpha who’d write a love letter of all things. But then I met you. And all the things I thought I knew about love turned out to be completely false. You came into my life and filled it with so much light and happiness that, for the first few months, I was too awe-struck to even think straight. And even after those months, when I first started to realise my feelings for you, I never thought those feelings would lead me to where I am now. Which is hunched over Ernie and Doris’ play table, glitter and stickers stuck all over me, writing what is probably the weirdest Valentine’s Day card you’ll ever receive. I love you so much, more than words can possibly explain- OR The one where self-proclaimed Valentine's Day hater, Louis, surprises his boyfriend on their first Valentine's together.

[iknowhatheydidinleeds]

jooooo what fanfic are you currently reading?

HI! i took a long hiatus and just arriving here again recently, so not too much to be honest.

The last fanfiction i read and recomend:

◉ where we landed by blueskiesrry

harry returns to his hometown with his sick daughter and more reminders than he bargained for of the boy he once loved when he left a handful of years ago.

◉ you taught me how to love (i taught you how to stop) by devilinmybrain (venomedveins)

"I think I've put enough scars on you," Louis answers, means it about the stretch marks still lining the sides of Harry's stomach, but it lands a little too raw. There are other scars on Harry's body that Louis blames himself for, scars inside too.

Enjoy!

[harruandlou]

☀️Monday Snippppet!!

I was tagged by @babyhoneyheslt to post a snippet. This is my fic for @1dsongfest (locally known as the swimmer fic) 🏊🏻🩲🌊

The announcer in the arena announced the first heats, but he didn’t bother looking up as they rattled off the names in the relay groups. First the women and then the men. They hurtled through the races so quickly that he’d only read half a chapter when he heard Harry’s name called over the intercom. He looked up sharply and scanned the swimmers on the blocks, spotting Harry all the way in lane number seven. He was pulling at his cap on his head adjusting it before shaking out his arms and leaning down to the starting position. He nudged Liam and said, “he’s in lane seven.” Liam looked over and then Louis watched his eyes tighten as he squinted. “I don’t know how you can even tell.” He couldn’t say he’d touched every inch of that body, the curve of his waist, the muscles in his legs, gripped the strength in his shoulders. So, instead he said, “they called his name. You must have missed it.”
