✤ Roommates Fics ✤

A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.

- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ Autumn At My Window by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine (M, 20k)

A canon-compliant AU, in which Harry and Louis are both in the band and have been sharing flats and hotel rooms for nearly five years, but never made the leap past 'friends who are too close for comfort'.

Featuring a lot of pining, Louis' addiction to Harry's scent, and a whole lot of sexual tension that might just snap loose when they decide to spend some time together all on their own.

2️⃣ Tainted Saints And Velvet Vices by Toomanytears / @toomanydreamers (E, 126k)

A self-fulfilling Hogwarts AU in which Louis is new to seventh year and Harry is the resident devil-may-care Slytherin set to make his entire experience a living misery. Due to less than favourable circumstances they're forced to forge an unwilling, tentative relationship for their own survival. Repressed emotions, decidedly unromantic ballroom dancing, Triwizard Tournament tasks, creative jinxes and twilight flying above the Forbidden Forest ensue.

A canon-compliant AU, in which Harry and Louis are both in the band and have been sharing flats and hotel rooms for nearly five years, but never made the leap past 'friends who are too close for comfort'.

3️⃣ This Road Leads Where Your Heart Is by @littlelostpieces (E, 14k)

Alright, so Louis has a bit of a type is the thing. And as fit as his supermodel flatmate (Harry) may be, he isn't what Louis is looking for in a potential partner. That’s all. He’s not Louis’ type, with his miles of lanky limbs and his bright, boyish eyes. His impossibly tight, little body and infectious laughter are not what Louis wants. They're not. Really.

4️⃣ Undone, Undress by @angelichl (E, 134k)

Louis' new roommate is shy, skittish, and flinches at the slightest sounds. He's an art major who gets drunk on cherry wine, wears lacy lingerie, and shows up late at night covered in bruises that blossom across his skin like flowers.

Obviously something is wrong. Louis just doesn't know what it is.

5️⃣ Talk Dirty To Me by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite (E, 13k)

They were both naked. And that seemed, again, like a catastrophically bad idea, but here they were anyway. Naked. In the dark. Only a few feet apart.

It hadn’t even been a discussion. The minute Harry flipped the lights off, they’d both shucked out of their clothes as if they’d been on fire.

“Alright darling,” Louis said, his hand wrapped loosely around his own cock. “Just remember, start slow. Lots of descriptions. Light on the hygiene, heavy on the compliments. You’ve got this.”

As if Harry were about to compete in some kind of athletic game.

Or the one where Harry is absolutely terrible at dirty talk so he asks his best friend to teach him. And the one where Louis knows it's a catastrophically bad idea but agrees anyway.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 Set the Sky Alight, Oh Holy Night by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 33k)

“It’s a starter home,” Niall says. He looks ridiculously proud. Louis does not think he should look that proud.

“That bathtub’s fallen through the ceiling,” Louis points out.

“Starter home,” Niall emphasises.

One house, five almost-strangers (plus Niall), six new beginnings.

Happy Christmas, here's to many more.

💎 baby when you’re gone (i realize i’m in love) by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou (G, 13k)

Harry recently moved to London to study music. He doesn’t know he has a crush on the charismatic fashion student Louis, who just so happens to be his flatmate. Everything is fine until Louis leaves to spend a long weekend with his family.

💎 All I Do the Whole Day Through by @lululawrence (NR, 6k)

Louis reached up and grabbed the ridiculously thick jumper that had the planets all over it and slammed the wardrobe doors shut. It was only as he turned around that he realized why Harry’s bedroom door had been shut.

There was a nest on Harry’s bed.

But why was Harry using Louis’ clothes and items that probably smelled like him in his nest?

💎 Oblivious by grapenight / @louiswolves (G, 2k)

Louis and Harry are roommates, and Louis is instantly attracted to Harry.

💎 It's a match! by @maggieisalarrie (G, 1k)

What if, he thinks, I just swipe right?

And really, what’s the absolute worst that can happen? If he swipes right, they simply won’t match and that’s the only way he could ever see this playing out.

So against his better judgement, he swipes right.

(T, 18k, a/b/o) Louis expects Harry to react poorly, maybe even file a formal complaint and that’s gonna suck ass but Louis won’t say shit cause he knows he deserves it, so he prepares an apology before Harry’s even turned around. What he doesn’t expect is Harry to fucking drop.

[theficpusher]

curiosity, kitten by 1000_directions | T | 1328 “I don’t like cats,” Louis says, frowning at the five different cooking competition shows in their Netflix queue. Bucky definitely added that shit. He deletes all but one of them out of spite. “I didn’t like dogs,” Bucky reminds him, “but I got over that. You’ll like this guy, Lou. He’s so cute and little.” “Sounds stupid,” Louis says. “Get us something cool. Let’s get a snake.” “We can get a snake, but we are also getting this cat,” Bucky says. “I’m not leaving him here. He’s asleep in my lap right now, and his ears are wiggling for no reason, and I love him.”

sat with the echoes by BeforeEternity | T | 3219 A short fic about navigating the world as someone who has, for all intents and purposes, recovered from an eating disorder. There’s a cat too.

Are You Missing Underwear? by grapenight | G | 4093 Are You Missing Underwear? Just to keep things brief, my cat has stolen a large amount of socks and underwear from a neighbor. I am very sorry. I live on Cherry Street. If these are your clothes, please call 112-358-1321 I promise I will give them back, I wasn't the one who wanted them, it was my asshole cat. Or, Harry's cat frequently steals Louis' underwear.

sweater paws by hattalove | T | 6585 In retrospect, Louis should have grabbed the yarn and run. also known as the classic tale of Louis's struggle with a hippie boyfriend, a ginger cat, and a lot of wool.

Olivia by haloeverlasting | nr | 7915 There was no rhyme or reason to Louis’ disdain for cats. Harry hadn’t even heard him explicitly say he hated them, but his tone had said it all. He was completely dismissive of cats. This could only lead Harry to one reasonable conclusion. Louis can never meet Olivia. Harry has a cat. Louis thinks he has a secret husband. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.

show me how by wallstracktwo | M | 11000 When Louis is hired to take care of the prince's cats, it comes at the perfect time - his life is in ruins and he's been feeling down and out. He thinks it'll be fun and easy money. How much trouble could a couple of cats actually get into? But it's not only the cats bringing chaos and disruption into Louis' life - it's also the prince.

start me over by camiii | E | 44104 "Nick’s funny when he’s not being a knob, and has good taste in music and Louis really likes his hands. Not to mention that he’s tall, tall enough to have made Louis spend a minute or two imagining what it would be like to have Nick pin him to a flat surface and snog him senseless. The only thing keeping him from a full grown crush at this point is sheer will and the threat of humiliation. So, Nick’s a dickhead but unfortunately Louis is kind of into that."

i must admit i thought i'd like to make you mine by disgruntledkittenface | M | 50645 Louis fell apart when her ex broke up with her and moved across the country. Just as she’s starting to move on, Zayn comes back to town for their mutual friends’ wedding – with a new girlfriend as her plus one. Blindsided and scrambling to save face, Louis lets herself get talked into a fake relationship with her new friend Harry. Their arrangement makes Louis feel pathetic and embarrassed, but it’s only going to last a few weeks. She just has to get through the wedding – what could happen?

Emperor's New Clothes by sunsetmog | E | 92072 The fact that Louis’s most precious belonging was a cat with a face like thunder and an uncanny ability to cover every single inch of Louis’s clothing with cat hair was something that Louis chose not to think about too much. or: Harry’s a pop star and Louis isn’t, and there’s a non-disclosure agreement where there used to be a relationship.

Confessions Of A Fic Writer

Hey guys, I’m taking a break from editing my latest Larry fic (MrsStylinson on ao3) and I need a distraction so I decided to conduct my own interview...of myself. But it’s basically a quiz and anyone can reblog and use :) Tag your fave authors if you wish.

1. Fandom(s)/Main ships(s). 1D. Larry. I have others but this is the only one I feel compelled to write about.

2. Favourite trope. It’s probably a tie between enemies to lovers and friends to lovers. So I guess that probably means my true favourite is slow burn!

3. Favourite fic idea that you’re yet to write. Mongrels to Men. Sort of like ladette to lady or ladettes to ladies or whatever it's called. So like Louis would be a promiscuous party boy type with like substandard manners. And for whatever reason his mum signs him up and Harry is like his mentor and has to teach him to be all posh and stately and Louis just makes fun of him and ends up teaching Harry to loosen up. And it involves some kind of makeover scene/bit

4. Favourite one of your fics. This is also tough because I’m so critical and I hate everything I write hahah. But maybe my Bridget Jones’ Diary AU? You Drive Me Crazy (But It Feels Alright). I feel like that one had a more fleshed out voice. The characters were well formed (possibly because of all the help I had from the original). My drunk in love fic comes close and I have a lot of love for two of my WIP’s when I don’t think about the lack of attention they’ve garnered but yeah, basically I hate everything.

4. Favourite fic by someone else/Fave author. I am making this so tough on myself because I have so many favourites. @cherrystreet’s bachelor fic (This Wicked Game) is a huge one. I never get sick of it. I love @all-these-larrythings (reaverview dreamer on ao3) and the medium fics by deathchamber on ao3. There’s so many more: (whoknows on ao3 whose tumblr I found but can’t manage to link or @louiswolves: grapenight on ao3 whose fic featuring a cat is an absolute must.) But I digress.

5. The first fic I ever read: I don’t remember this. I think it was a supernatural one and I wasn’t too keen but after being introduced to a YouTube compilation of Larry, I read a fic where Louis played soccer and Harry was a popstar and Louis proposes at a game at the end (I cannot find the name of it. I don’t know if it’s been deleted or if I’m an idiot because I’m pretty sure it’s a hugely popular fic.) I remember bawling my eyes out and after that, I never really went back to het romance. Not long after I started writing myself.

6. If someone could write YOU your dream fic, what would it be? I think it would definitely be a slow burn (surprise) with plenty of angst, plenty of fluff and plenty of smut towards the end. I would LOVE to read another bachelor fic but I just love really specific ones, maybe cause it’s something I struggle to write. I love fics based on movies or a really particular area of knowledge.

7. If you had to sum up your writing style in three words, what would they be? Descriptive. Emotional. Angsty. Is that the same as emotional? Okay. Descriptive, emotional and....poetic. It was really hard to come up with positive ones tbh.

8. What is your favourite thing about being a fic writer? The appreciation from my readers. When someone lets me know that something I wrote connected with them or made them smile, I feel like I have a very special power that not everyone has.

9. What is your least favourite thing about being a fic writer? The pressure. The insecurity. The hours spent working without pay hahah. Just kidding. I do enjoy it and I’m not skilled enough to get paid for it anyway.

10. If you could give any advice to your past self or to people thinking of trying out fic writing, what would it be? Well I’m not really qualified but i’m interviewing myself as if I were a success so, to my past self, I would say...stop trying to find a million different ways to say blue or green eyes. (I’m still guilty of this but I’m getting better.) Edit more and use flowery language less. Find active verbs and metaphors instead of more adjectives and adverbs. Remember to show not tell!! To other future writers, I’d say remember to write what you love, not what you think other people will love. This is how the best stuff comes out. If other people don’t like it, remember that writing, like art, thrives on your sole purpose/happiness and wastes away when you’re dissastisfied. Also, inspiration is endless! I often get writer’s block but I’m slowly learning to look for cues in new places.

11. What inspires you to write? And what other forms or genres do you write in? I’m inspired to write by the complexity of human emotion and human struggle. Having suffered from some illness or another, be it physical or mental, since I was a young teen, I am always conscious of our ability to survive and for me, there is no greater way to honour my own survival than to follow my passion and write romance. I mostly write romance but I have dabbled in thrillers and dirty realism. I also write in the form of poetry and short opinion pieces aka rants.

12. Why do you think fanfiction has become such a phenomenon?

think it’s because we live in an age of information overload where we’re always able to get our hands on more of the things we love. However, when it comes to characters, those die with the final line in a novel or the final line in a television series. Fanfiction resurrects them. As for fics based on real people, I think it’s just a form of escapsim. Sometimes you see two people who seem like they’d be absolutely perfect together and the fantasy is more enjoyable than the reality.

Cat Owner  AU

🐾 be with you day and night by ballsdeepinjesus (10k)

“Maybe not,” Ed pipes up. “This sounds weird but I have a friend who might be able to help you.”“Is it a priest? I think an exorcism is the only option here, mate.”“Right, so like, remember my kitten Graham?” At everyone’s nods, he continues, “Well when I got him he was a bit of a prick. He was just scared, but he wasn’t very pleasant to be around. So my friend Harry comes around one day to hang out and he just, like, bonds with him. After an hour he had him snuggling in his lap. He’s going to school to be a vet I think, and he volunteers in an animal shelter so he’s got lots of experience I guess. But anyway, he developed a bit of a reputation after that and now everyone calls him the Cat Whisperer.”“You have a friend everyone calls the Cat Whisperer,” Louis says, “And you’ve neglected to tell me this until now.”

[louis inherits a demon cat. harry is a cat whisperer.]

🐾 Won't You Please Come Around by allwaswell16 (5k) @allwaswell16

Harry has lived in London for a month, and so far the only friend he's made is his sister's cat, Mr. Whiskers. When the lock on the window breaks, Mr. Whiskers begins exploring his new neighbourhood a bit too thoroughly and brings back mementos of his escapes.

Or a Valentine's Day story where Harry has a really fit neighbour, and his cat is a thief.

🐾 Olivia by haloeverlasting (7k) @haloeverlasting

There was no rhyme or reason to Louis’ disdain for cats. Harry hadn’t even heard him explicitly say he hated them, but his tone had said it all. He was completely dismissive of cats. This could only lead Harry to one reasonable conclusion.Louis can never meet Olivia.

Harry has a cat. Louis thinks he has a secret husband. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.

🐾 Think How Much Pussy You're Gonna Get by LoadedGunn (8k) @loaded-gunn

They're all coping with the break in their own ways. Liam's learning new skills, Zayn's joined a charity that has him on another fucking continent, Niall's working out, Louis' growing a beard and Harry has a cat.

Two months in, their house is overrun by cats and kittens, Harry is transforming into a feline, and Louis can't get head without interruption. The break is going great.

Or, the canon fic where One Direction go on a six month break and Harry adopts a billion cats and that's it that's the fic.

🐾 hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss by icedwaters (27k)

Louis would like to know when his life became a huge romantic comedy, because he’s starting to get tired of being the butt of every joke. Harry’s already at the club when he, Zayn, and Liam arrive. He’s got on the tightest jeans Louis has ever seen in his life (including his own), and this flannel shirt with the sleeves cut off, the buttons mostly undone to reveal the majority of his chest and a few tattoos. Louis’ eyes are first drawn to the big butterfly inked above his abs, then to black lines drawn on his shoulders, partly hidden by the edge of his shirt. He can’t help staring, his eyes clinging to Harry’s exposed skin.

(or louis is a 22 year old photographer in his third year of uni, and harry is his 19 year old cat-loving neighbor.)

🐾 Is it so wrong that you make me strong? by SilverShadow1 (31k)

Harry goes to college and gets comfortable in his skin and thrives. He is majoring in women’s studies, has a cat that he hides from residential life and is the president of the LGBTQ club on campus. During his sophomore year, he organizes a welcome party for the LGBTQ first years and meets Louis.

OR

Harry and Louis meet at university and bring out new sides of each other.

🐾 sweater paws by hattalove (6k) @hattalove

In retrospect, Louis should have grabbed the yarn and run.

also known as the classic tale of Louis's struggle with a hippie boyfriend, a ginger cat, and a lot of wool.

🐾 Are You Missing Underwear? by grapenight (4k) @louiswolves

Are You Missing Underwear? 

Just to keep things brief, my cat has stolen a large amount of socks and underwear from a neighbor. I am very sorry. I live on Cherry Street. If these are your clothes, please call 112-358-1321 I promise I will give them back, I wasn't the one who wanted them, it was my asshole cat.

🐾 you look so good in blue by patdkitten (20k)

“You don't believe in ghosts, do you, Mr. Styles?”

If he's honest with himself, Harry's not sure what his stance is on the subject. So he just smiles and shrugs before leaving. After all, he's never actually met a ghost, that he knows about. Besides, even a ghost wouldn't bring him down on how affordable the rent on the flat is.

Or: Harry Styles hears about a perfect flat from his roommate Zayn's boyfriends and decides to sign the lease. The only problem is: the flat has a reputation for being haunted. It certainly doesn't help that Harry's cat is seeing things as soon as they move in...

🐾 Emperor's New Clothes by sunsetmog (92k) @magicalrocketships

The fact that Louis’s most precious belonging was a cat with a face like thunder and an uncanny ability to cover every single inch of Louis’s clothing with cat hair was something that Louis chose not to think about too much.

or: Harry’s a pop star and Louis isn’t, and there’s a non-disclosure agreement where there used to be a relationship.

🐾 sugar in a plum by suspendrs (4k) @suspendrs  

“I’m your dad,” Harry says softly, extending his hand to Plum for her to have a sniff. Plum considers for a moment, looks up at Louis, and then bites Harry’s finger.

“Ow!” Harry shrieks, pulling his hand away quickly. He’s not bleeding, but Plum’s teeth are incredibly sharp, he feels like he’s been stabbed with ten tiny needles. “Jesus, Lou, I thought we were getting a cat, not a demon.”

Or, Harry's new kitten is out to ruin his life.

🐾 and you can lie with me with your tiny paws by sopattable (5k) @harrybirthdaytoya

Niall’s door bursts open unceremoniously, and he hastens to grab the duvet to cover himself. “What in the hell, Harry—“

“Louis is a kitten,” Harry says seriously. He’s wrapped in a shockingly short house-coat and Niall refuses to think of how little he’s wearing underneath.

“I know you think he’s cute, but seriously guys you—“

“No, I mean it. Like, I woke up, and Louis was gone. But there was a kitten.” Or, a fic in which Louis is a kitten, Harry is trying to figure things out, and Niall is along for the ride. Shameless fluff and absurdity may ensue.

🐾 meow or never by velvetnoodle  @velvetnoodle (3k)

Harry is having a terrible, no good, very bad day.

He’s holed himself up in the back of the university library, stealing an entire sofa for himself. The fact that no one has said anything to him about it just goes to show how much his feelings must be on display. That’s nothing new; Harry’s always worn his heart on his sleeve. And cried easily. Not that he’s crying yet, but he’s close. It’s been a right shit day, and Harry just wants to go back to his room and bury his face in Evie’s soft fur. Unfortunately, he no longer has that luxury.

When Harry is forced to choose between getting kicked out of student housing or giving up his cat, a moment of self-pity leads to the discovery of a third, and much more appealing, option

🐾 Af-fur-mative by  rainbowslovehl (Larrymateforlife) (2k)

Harry is anxious about the first meeting between his moody cat and Louis.

Maddie’s Super Sick Ryden Fic List From Hell

This is just a collection of all my favorite Ryden fanfics! Reader discretion is advised, many of them are explicit.

AO3 Larrie boycott author rec list

In an attempt at remaining a neutral blog I feel it my duty to tweak a ‘recent’ boycott post.  While I was able to reblog a list of suggested Larrie authors to boycott, many people were not able to do so as they found themselves blocked by the OP.  I feel it only fair that everyone has the chance to see and reblog this list.  While I do not condone boycotting people for their beliefs I will send my appreciation to the OP of the boycott list for their work towards finding Larrie authors on AO3 and full credit of this list goes to them.  In my own edition of this post I have provided you links to the authors AO3 page for your convenience.  Happy reading!

If you were not fortunate enough to make it on this list and would like to be added please let me know.  

Disclaimer: I did not take time to research the authors of this list for their current beliefs.  If I saw they had a H/L relationship in a fic I linked them.  This is merely for fun and to assist with finding new works to read.  

[thelarryficrecplace]

hellooo ! do you have any fics where harry is an alien ? or even the other way around ? thanks x

Hello! This is an interest concept, here’s what I found:

Glow by dolce_piccante:

Summary: Alien AU, with a hint of Royal AU. A summer barbecue at the Tomlinson’s is interrupted by a naked visitor from a peaceful planet far, far away. Can an alien and a human survive a summer together for the sake of the human race?

A King Beside You by stylinsoncity:

Summary: When the aliens invade, the last thing Louis expects is to fall in love.

Touch Me With Your Alien Dick by tvfeels:

Summary: Harry is a sex alien sent to earth to fuck Louis Tomlinson

or the one where having sex with an alien isn’t weird at all

Alone in a Sea of Stars by panda_bear21:

Summary: He shifted his helmet, where it was still in his hands, watching the fluorescent lights shine off of Harry’s hair and reflect off his skin.

Louis knew he would have to let Harry leave, but before doing so he licked over his dry lips, asking genuinely, “So are you going to follow me back to the ship again tomorrow or…?”

Harry smiled in reply, dimples going all soft and sweet. “Going to wait until right before you close the doors again so you have no choice but to keep me.”

Louis felt his skin warming and a small laugh bubbling up from his chest, as he bit down on his lower lip to stop his smile from growing. He cleared his throat, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I could probably kick you out right now if I wanted.” The thing was, Louis knew he wouldn’t. He could wait at least ten more minutes before he let Harry leave. Maybe even twenty.

Based on the prompt: Louis is an astronaut who is sent to Neptune and really he expected to find a few old rocks but instead he found some kid who claims to be ten thousand years-old

Cosmic Love by smittenwithlouis:

Summary: Sudden chills rake over his body yet again, making him stay rooted to the ground. Static in the air makes every hair on his body stand up straight. That’s when he notices something a couple feet in front of him lying on the ground. It’s what appears to be a person, weird white beams snaking around them like Christmas lights. Louis’ heart rate picks up. Is the person alright? What are they doing here? What the fuck is happening?Or: Louis lives in a small, desert town in the middle of nowhere Texas, yet a strange visitor manages to find Louis among the stars.

I’ve Got You To Believe In by grapenight:

Summary: Harry is an alien, undercover as a human, with some help from Niall. Louis is high, which is apparently all it takes to blow an alien’s cover.

Like Vines (We Intertwine) by turnyourankle:

Summary: The “Roswell” AU where Harry is an alien, Louis is not, and they’ve both been pining after each other for far too long.

Spilling Into Clouds by neonmoonlight:

Summary: Louis gets picked for an exchange program among the four other planets orbiting the sun, and he might find his life partner but really, who knows?

we’ve got to get away from here by suspendrs:

Summary: “It is my understanding that you are the most comprehensive member of this agency in the field of extraterrestrial life, is that right?” the agent asks. He’s trying to sound calm, but Louis can tell he’s shaken as well.

“Um, I guess so,” Louis says, glancing over at the man in the blanket again.

Suddenly, Louis’s blood runs cold. There’s something off about the man, something in his gaze, something Louis can’t put his finger on. It’s terribly unsettling, but excitement bubbles in his gut. 

Or, Louis is an FBI agent who likes to think himself a paranormal expert, and Harry is alien that somehow ended up in his office.

AO3 tinhat boycott list

here is a list of authors on ao3 who are also conspiracy theorists. for the uninitiated: there is a significant portion of the content-creators in the 1D fandom who believe that their ship, harry/louis (larry stylinson or larry) is real. they are called larries and should be differentiated from larry shippers (those who engage in normal fandom behavior and know their fictional ship is not real). larries are conspiracy theorists, and you will see them referred to as tinhatters. **13 feb 2018** i’ve changed the title from larrie to tinhat and i’m adding more tinhat authors as i find them in other fandoms.

want to blacklist them? here’s a tutorial on using ao3 savior. that link also contains more information about the reasons behind the list and how an author is put on the list or why they are left off. [n.b. the script is case sensitive, use case of name present on the current list.]

wondering if an author is a larrie but they aren’t on the list? send me an ask! i’ll do my best to sort it out.

methodology: i sorted 1D fics on AO3 by h/l and with most kudos first (to prioritize with the fic that would most likely be read by a new reader), english, and completed only, and clicked through. if i couldn’t prove they were larries (no other SM linked to pseud OR nothing glaringly larrie on linked SM) i’ve left them off the list. this is definitely not complete. it is a work in progress. all names are the AO3 pseud, and earlier versions of the list contained additional information about what i found to put them on the list. i have removed that information for streamlining, but if you’re curious, inbox me and i can provide it. 

CT = conspiracy theorist

if anyone on this list feels they have been added in error, or want it known that they have since rejected conspiracy theorism, send me an ask off anon and we can chat! if you have any authors you think should be added to this list (i don’t care if the author is only a little larrie, conspiracy theorism is the ONLY qualification), message me or send me an ask on or off anon. i am prioritizing the more popular authors first, but eventually i plan to have them all listed. 

this list should not be used for targeted harassment. it exists merely to make it easier for people to avoid reading and providing kudos to people who engage in conspiracy theorism.

Hello ...hope you are fine

Any good historical enemies to lovers recs ?

Hi, anon! Hope you're well, too! Here are some historical enemies to lovers fics for you!

A Stór Mo Chroí by kiwikero / @icanhazzalou

It was a gloomy, grey day in the highlands. The sun, try as it might, couldn’t manage to break through the clouds, painting land and sea alike in muted colours. Perhaps it wasn’t so desolate as all that, though it certainly seemed that way to Louis. Of course, his perception might have been coloured by his own foul mood. Everything seemed to have gone from bad to worse recently, and if his own problems weren’t enough now he had to pretend he didn’t want to throttle the chieftain of Clan Gunn, the one currently traipsing around the village and greeting clansmen as if he wasn’t just a glorified intruder. Louis narrowed his eyes as he watched Harry interact with Agnes and her young son, Harry stooping down to talk directly to the little boy. The Clan Gunn tartan, simple blocks of green and black, marked Harry as someone who clearly didn’t belong amongst them, and yet the people of Clan Sutherland always seemed delighted to see the man.

Traitors.

Louis is a young laird from Clan Sutherland and Harry the chieftain of Clan Gunn, and an alliance between their clans isn't enough to convince the two of them to get along.

now i think that i could love you back by maroonmoonlouis

“I do not care if she banishes me to my chambers for a month or the rest of the year, you two must see reason,” Louis protests, feeling a minor fit coming on. “He is nothing but an insufferable, cocky, cloddish, pitiful excuse for an Alpha, and he deserves to live the rest of his days in solitary, not me.” “My, my, what an array of abuse. I surely would loath to be this inadequate excuse of an Alpha you speak of, but alas I cannot relate to possessing such deficiency,” a honey-glazed voice drips out from behind Louis, and the omega can feel the steam pouring over, ready to burst out of his already flushed ears.

- Or, the one where Omega Prince Louis is thrown a Courting Ceremony. A weekend full of competition ensues for his hand in marriage. As if he’s not already stressed about choosing his future Mate in three days, it’s just his luck that his enemy, Alpha Prince Harry has decided to partake as well.

Ace of Spades by @allwaswell16

Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic.

Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.

Just You Wait by grapenight 

When Harry eavesdrops on a conversation between Louis and his mother, he hears Louis insulting his family. He doesn't have the heart to tell his family, who believes Louis and Gemma will get married, so Harry makes a plan to expose Louis for the person he really is.

Very loosely based on Downton Abbey. Harry is the son of nobility, and Louis is expected to marry his sister.

[filmathonexchange]

For Some Reason I Remember Yours

for grapenight

When Louis' parents take a wrong turn on the way to their new house in London, they end up taking something that doesn't belong to them. Now he's stuck in a spirit world full of ghosts, dragons, lies, and mysterious boys with green eyes.

"Speaking of horrifying, I went downtown this weekend," Craig started.

"Oh, this has to be good," Token said eagerly.

"Downtown is already horrifying," Jimmy added, shaking his head. Craig couldn't help but agree with him, especially after what had happened to him the previous weekend.

 On the podcast that Craig and his friends run, he tells a story about his wild night at a downtown bar.
