𩷠You Make Lovin' Fun by @homosociallyyours {E, 109k}
Harry is a 28 year old travel writer at a gay magazine who gets the assignment to go a lesbian cruise. She figures it's a nice chance to have some fun in the sun, but she's not expecting much else-- even if her partner and best friend are both encouraging her to hook up with someone while she's there.
When she locks eyes with a gorgeous silver fox from across the room, she starts to think she could've been wrong. There are lots of things standing in the way of anything real happening with her and Louis, but that doesn't stop them from falling for one another. True love isn't always easy, but they do make lovin' fun.
𩷠Quiet People Have the Loudest Minds by @2tiedships2 {M, 38k}
Broadway shows were one of the few things that could keep Louisâ attention for a full two hours without needing to move about. But not tonight.
The alpha next to him was both infuriating him and practically turning him on at the same time. He needed to leave. The alpha, that is. Louis was staying.
Or the one where Louis is a nonverbal omega who has accepted the fact that he will never find an alpha that will treat him as an equal. On the other hand, heâs never met anyone like Harry.
đ©· Â hymns for restless stars by @turnyourankle {E, 37k}
Every Holiday season Louis has his pupils write down their Christmas wishes for class. He's read almost every wish under the sun, but one girl's wish takes him by surprise. It's for her uncle not to be alone anymore. It's not a wild wish by any means, but Louis had no idea that former teen idol Harry Styles was lonely in the first place.
𩷠From the Start by @allwaswell16 {E, 32k}
Louis has no idea that one act of kindness will cause his life to spiral out of control. But that's what happens when his new friend fake proposes to him and a video of it goes viral.
𩷠On This Winter's Night by @reminiscingintherain {T, 27k}
When a random bloke offers his lap for a seat on a busy bus in December, Louis' Christmas ends up being much different, and far less lonely than he was expecting.
𩷠What Side Of Love Are You On? by @fallinglikethis {T, 25k}
Ever since Harry finally made the decision to come out to his mother as bisexual, sheâs been foisting women on him left and right, determined itâs just a phase. But when she puts out a personal ad to find the perfect partner for her son, things really get complicated. Suddenly, Harryâs heart is being pulled in two very different directions. On one side is the sweet, caring woman he has fun with, but doesnât know his mother chose for him. On the other is a man who seems to be his motherâs worst nightmare, but makes Harryâs heart flutter in ways heâs never felt before. When all is said and done, maybe theyâll all learn that when there is no clear path to go down, the best option is to follow your heart.
A Because I Said So Au with a bisexual twist.
𩷠A Road To Something Better by @taggiecb {E, 25k}
Louis Tomlinson, famous romance novelist, has just had the rug pulled out from under his feet when his boyfriend leaves him without notice. What's the most appropriate response to this? Move a thousand miles away and seclude himself in a tiny lake town, of course. But nothing is as he expects it to be in the very best way, especially not the handsome mayor of McAll, Idaho.
𩷠Naked & Proud by kiwikero / @icanhazzalou {E, 18k}
The town itself is tiny, as evidenced by the ten minutes itâs taken Louis to drive the entire thing. Thereâs not a single recognisable brand in sightâno Tesco or McDonaldâs or even a bloody Starbucks. Lining the streets instead are mom and pop stores with names like âJerryâs Burgersâ and âThe Market Basketâ andâŠ
â'Naked & Proud?'â Louis almost slams on the brakes at the outlandish sign, the name written in a seemingly innocent font, words curved around a large cartoon peach. He canât help turning into the carpark, easing the car into a spot next to a beat up truck.
He isnât sure what to make of it. Surely it isnât a strip joint or sex shop, not with the families and little old ladies going in and out of the establishment. Some kind of nudist hangout, perhaps?
And, oh, God. Did Louisâ mother accidentally send him to live in a nudist colony?
In which Harry runs an organic store, not a nudist colony, and Louis doesn't know whether to be relieved or disappointed.
𩷠Single Bells Ring by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense {M, 16k}
A holiday singles event is not where Louis wants to be tonight, but there he is, helping his best friend find love. Just as Louis is settling in, ready to have a terrible time, he meets the fittest alpha heâs ever come across.
đ©·Â love so soft, you ainât had nothing softer (series) by @neondiamond {E, 15k}
Louis is an Alpha with an odd obsession for gummy bears. Harry is an Omega who makes friends a little too easily. They meet on the bus.
𩷠Breathe me in, breathe me out by @lunarheslwt {G, 14k}
Louis was just passing the autumn collection, when an unfamiliar but addicting scent tickled his nose. Cinnamon. He turned as he realised something.
He felt calm. Relaxed.
The permanent agitation that he carried was melting away the more he breathed in the scent, as faint as it was. Consumed by the crazed desire to seek out the specific candle, Louis began picking up candles and sniffing them madly, when a deep voice piped up, startling him.
âUh, sir, we donât allow candle fetishists in here.â
Louis froze mid sniff in mortification. Willing himself to not blush, he turned, a retort at the tip of his tongue. Except, it died in his throat as he took in the man before him.
âI uh,â Louis blurted out accidentally, temporarily rendered speechless by the frankly unfairly beautiful man before him. Only at the manâs grin widening did he regain his wits.
âYouâre gonna kink shame me?â
Or, Louis is drawn into a quaint candle shop in his desire to find ways to soothe himself while struggling with touch depri. It takes him two more run-ins and with the lovely alpha sales assistant, and a drop, to figure out the source of the scent that imprints upon him and calms his omega. Idiots to lovers
𩷠Far Afield by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird {T, 11k}
Harry Styles is a witch who owns the best flower shop in Manchester. Lottie Tomlinson is planning her wedding, and brings her brother along to her first appointment. Both men have been having a bad day and sparks fly.
𩷠The Art of the Giants by asphodelknox / @iamasphodelknox {G, 10k}
Louis is dancing away from an old relationship when he meets Harry at a bookstore in the busy streets of Seattle. Harry is just a bookstore owner hoping his handsome weekly visitor could become something more.
đ©· All Shook Up by @littleroverlouis {T, 9k}
Memphis, Tennessee is looking to crown the Ultimate Elvis Tribute artist. A majority of the contestants are content to shake their hips on stage, but singer-songwriter Harry is taking it more seriously. He is confident his voice and charisma will send him straight through to the finals.
He is already polishing his crown before even setting foot on stage, until he meets a fellow competitor. Louis is talented, charming, and a natural born performer. He commands the stageâ and Harry's attention.
Harry has his eye on the prize and the Ultimate title, but what happens when someone becomes the ultimate prize?
𩷠The Way to My Heart by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13 {T, 6k}
Louis' having a bit of a dry spell, until he bumps into an attractive alpha in the supermarket and leaves with his number. It was a hard bump. Very... muscular.
The only problem is, said alpha asks Louis to cook for him - which is not exactly his skill set.
𩷠Only Reason by @letsjustsee {NR, 5k}
âWe are so lucky to have with us one of the leading experts on beekeeping in the modern age, Dr. Louis Draper.â
No. No, no, noâŠ
âI know I speak for many of us when I say that this manâs books have guided our practice, or helped us get started,â Harry continued, and Louis watched as the crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
Oh shit. No. What? No.
But then Harry was gesturing towards him, saying âDr. Draper?â into the microphone, the crowd was applauding, and Louis found himself walking up the stairs to the stage.
Or, Louis is most definitely smitten with Harry from the second he sees him, but he is also most definitely not the world's foremost expert on beekeeping. He decides to roll with it anyway.
𩷠Unplant by @hellolovers13 {M, 4k}
Please do not disturb my plant
She needs 2 hours of sunlight a day and I live in a sunless flat
Iâll be back to collect her soon
Thank you and stay well.
or Louis should've looked where he was going, then he wouldn't have to desperately try to save a little flower now.
𩷠Validation by @lululawrence {NR, 3k}
âHey, how are you?â Harry asked. Heâd found that sometimes just a smile and a kind face was all that was needed to brighten someoneâs day.
âOh, uhm. Iâm alright. Can you validate me?â
Harry chuckled inwardly, but decided to go ahead and take him literally.
Or the one where Harry worked in a parking garage and he totally didnât mean for this, the whole validation of people as well as their parking tickets, to become a thing. It just kinda...did.
𩷠more than that by @nouies {NR, 3k}
Harry looks for the best bread in France. He finds Louis.
𩷠an honest mistake by @disgruntledkittenface {NR, 2k}
âYou look different when youâre not covered in come,â he blurts out, immediately regretting each and every life choice that has led to this exact moment. Elevator Guy is going to hate him.
Louis has ridden the elevator with his neighbor all week. The first time they speak, thereâs a misunderstanding.

as in olden days by scrunchyharry | T | 18430
ChĂąteau Frontenac hotel, Christmas 1925
When his father insisted the entire family spend Christmas abroad in one of his new investments, Harry dreaded the prospect of being trapped for weeks in the biting Canadian cold, so far away from the roaring excitement of his London life. As he crossed half of the world to be buried under a thick blanket of snow, he never imagined he would meet a charming bellhop who would do his best to keep him warm.
When I Run Out of Road by QuickedWeen | M | 24170
It's 1932 when Harry Styles sets off on an adventure to the African continent and the most popular new travel destination: Nairobi. He has reservations at the best club in town and plans to stay for a few weeks. What he doesn't expect is to meet and get to know a wonderful family along the way.
The Deakins are sponsors of the Royal Ballet, traveling with the company to see them perform in Nairobi for the first time. They take Harry under their wing, treat him like part of their family, and change his life in ways he never imagined.
Through Lonely Streets and Neon Lights by sweetly_disposed | M | 25107
1920's era, Great Gatsby inspired. Harry is a poor boy living in the South Village. Every night he watches the North City come alive and longs of crossing the river to be a part of it and escape his dreary life. The infamous Mr Tomlinson lives across the river from Harry. His parties are the stuff of legend; people on both sides know about them, and all Harry wants is a chance to go to one. When fate swings his way and he finds himself in Mr Tomlinson's house, he gets much more than he could ever have bargained for.
Embellish Your Heart by letsjustsee | nr | 28611
âYouâre sort of a mystery, Harry Styles,â Louis says, and Harry looks surprised before he laughs loudly.
âAm I?â
Louis nods his head a little.
âA very interesting, intriguing mystery.â
Or, a Bootlegger AU where it's 1925 in small town America, and Louis Tomlinson has never met anyone quite like Harry Styles.
You Came Just Like A Flower In My Darkest Hour by graceling_in_a_suit | T | 44273
Harry had spent a thousand years as the king of a false kingdom, no one but his empty-minded subjects to distract him from his loneliness. Then, he saw a stranger in a mirror to another world. He was exquisite, this stranger; Harry wanted nothing more than to know him, if only he could be free from the spell that kept him trapped.
But even once his wish had been granted (at the cost of his voice), and he'd gotten to live in the stranger's world and in his house and in his heart, the spell would not be so easily broken.
see the sparks filled with hope (you are not alone) by niallszayn | M | 57527
âHello,â Niall mumbled, hot flush already crawling up his neck again. âI shouldâŠI wonât keep you from your work.â
Zayn sighed a little and rubbed at his forehead, leaving a small smudge of dirt behind. Niallâs fingers twitched with how much he wanted to reach out and wipe it away.
Ireland, 1923.
When Niall returns from war, heâs not the same young man he was before. Back home at his parentâs mansion, it takes an old friend and young gardener to get him to open up. But what is Zayn to Niall? What can he be?
Chasing Empty Spaces by Lis | E | 79028
The year is 1934 and Harry Styles was to inherent the largest tobacco firm in the south. His parents have picked out the âperfectâ girl for him to marry and he has the privilege of receiving the highest education possible. The problem was, Harry hadnât realized he didnât actually want any part of that future until he met a mechanic named, Louis Tomlinson.
Through Eerie Chaos by MediaWhore | G | 102104
For as long as anyone can remember, Old Hillsbridge Manor has always been believed to be haunted. Everyone in the village agrees and keeps a respectful, fearful, distance. New in town after a bad breakup and an internship that led to disappointment rather than a permanent job, Harry Styles figures taking pictures of the decrepit building could be a great new creative project. Or at least a much-needed distraction while he searches for a job and crashes at his parentsâ new house. No one warned him about the apparitions though; about the music, the laughter, the people who flicker and vanish when you call after them, the echoes of a past that should be long gone⊠Harry has never believed in spirits but even he can admit that thereâs something weird going on. What starts as mere curiosity evolves into a full-blown investigation and soon enough, Harry finds himself making friends with an aristocrat from the 1920s and struggling with finding the best way to tell him that heâs dead.
The Ghost Hunter AU where Niall lives to prove ghosts are real, Zayn is a skeptical librarian and Harry gets caught up in a century-old mystery and catches feeling in the process.
The Florentine Letters by forreveries | E | 118277
Oxford University,
June, 1935.
The edge of summer has just begun to dawn over the university campus, exams are almost over and the dust is just beginning to settle over the desks.
Harry Styles, in the last years of his PHD study of The Renaissance, has managed to maintain a safe existence within the walls of his books and classes and late night romances. He's made a place that's safe from the expectations of high brow society and the cold stare of his father.
That is, until an all too sharp, all too witty, and all too handsome man walks into his life.
Louis, the cocky man with the smile, brings with him a strange object - declaring that it's a puzzle piece from the one and only Leonardo Da Vinci. He speaks of age old mysteries, and puzzles that cannot be solved without Harry's help. Immediately, Harry is quite literally swept off his feet, and together they take their chances on the find of a life time - Da Vinci's lost works.
But what Louis doesn't mention is the high stakes game of cat and mouse that comes with chasing things that do not belong to you. A game where nothing, and no one, is as they seem.

can you give me a list of established relationship
This is my dream ask, tbh. According to my notes, it's over 30% of what I read. Listed some of my favorites below (excluded A/B/O, girl direction, anything too heavily kinky, and anything under 5k so if you'd like a list of those, let me know).
dusted in gold Series || frenchkiss || 100k
Model Harry, Make Up Artist Louis
Harryâs an A-list supermodel, Louisâs his make-up artist boyfriend. Theyâre something of a dream team.
Down to our bare feet || frenchkiss || 71.5k
Disabled Louis, Hurt/Comfort, Mild Angst
Breaking his neck and becoming wheelchair-bound for the rest of his life was never part of Louis Tomlinson's long term plan. No, he was going to make it big in his career, marry the man of his dreams, and live his best life each and every day. That is, until a football injury leaves him paralysed from the neck down, which is less than ideal, he must admit.
The story of an ordinary couple living through extraordinary circumstances, featuring wheelchairs, home renovations, intensive rehab, fighting, laughter, tears, ring shopping, and above all, two boys determined to love each other no matter what.
Why Am I Doing This Again? || @berzerkshires || 31.3k
Famous/Non Famous, Interview Format, Older H&L
AU: It's been 37 years since Louis Tomlinson met the famous Harry Styles. In 2056, Harry has officially announced his retirement with one last request from his management team: a three part documentary. The crew comes to Louis & Harry's house to film an interview with Louis about Harry and their relationship. And Louis still doesn't understand why he's a part of it.
secrets don't make friends || @thedevilinmybrain || 30.2k
College AU, 5 Times, Fluff and Smut
What an absolute rollercoaster of a fic. I started this fest thinking I was going to write something else, then I panicked, and I wrote this instead. I hope it's as good as my original prompt.Â
Firstly, thank you so much to Aria. This is my love letter to you. My smutty, kinky, love letter of our friendship. To the one brain we share by some cosmic connection. You always support my deep dive into how dirty can I make this and get away with it and give me the best feedback. I could not have done any of this without you.Â
And Hannah, babe, you literally are an angel. Always coming in to save my fucking life by agreeing to beta 30k in one night! When we both were exhausted and you did such an great job. Especially because I can't spell for shit. Thanks you, baby. I appreciate you so much.
Also, thank you Greta for coming up with this brilliant fest! So glad I could help out and co-mod with you. It was such a success.
Were We Ever This Young? || @letsjustsee || 17.2
Harry Potter AU, Baker Harry, Auror Louis, Flashbacks
âHow did it go?â he asked, still not having gotten any hints from Louisâ face.âObviously it went amazing, Harold,â Louis said, reaching for Harryâs hand, âWas there any doubt I would smash it?âImmediately after finishing his sentence a young girl burst out of the classroom behind Louis, pushing through her peers, sobbing her eyes out. Harry and Louis both took her in, watching as she rushed through the crowd and disappeared behind the many bodies. Harry looked at Louis in confusion, about to voice his concerns before Louis cut him off.âTeenagers, am I right?â Louis said casually, âSo bloody sensitive. You hungry? Letâs go.âAnd with that, he pulled Harry through the groups of students by his hand, Harry too shocked to utter a word.Â
Hogwarts AU in which Harry and Louis both return to give talks to seventh years about the 'real world' with slightly varying results. Inspired by the Chilton scene between Rory and Paris in the new Gilmore Girls.
Fugue || @canonlarry || 16.4k
Amnesia, Kidfic, Famous/Non Famous, Happy Ending
Harry falls asleep a 17 year-old who lives in Cheshire and is probably rockstar Louis Tomlinson's biggest fan. He wakes up 24 with a wedding ring on his finger, two kids, and Louis Tomlinson attempting to wake him up with a blow job. The doctor calls it organic retrograde amnesia, says he might never get back the last seven years of his life. The only thing that feels the same is how he feels when Louis touches him, and maybe that's enough to make him fall in love all over again.
think I'll take my chances || trackfive || 12.9k
College AU, Sick Fic, Hurt/Comfort
harry worries louis, louis worries harry, they both worry zayn...there's far too much worry. taking care of each other doesn't have to be a one-way street
(h/c with extra hurt...and extra comfort...and extra fluff)
Feel My Love || @styleandsin || 10.4k
Baker Harry, Fluff and Smut, Domesticity
Reason #29: To avoid cleaning, studying, or doing work of any kind.
Louis always gets things done on time, he just takes a detour along the way. The detour? Having sex with Harry. Harry never brings it up. Until he does.
Every night, I've got you in my arms ||
Shut It Down When the Time Comes || kikikryslee || 9.4k
Kidfic, Teacher Louis, Architect Harry
This is it, Louis thought to himself. Finally.
And then a loud wail rang through their apartment.
Louis stared up at Harry, who had the lube bottle in his hand, ready to pour.
âWhat if Iâm quick?â Harry asked desperately.
Louis rolled his eyes as the babyâs crying only got louder.
---
Or, the five times new parents Harry and Louis try to have sex, and the one time they actually do.
Hea(van) Is A Place on Earth || @insightfulinsomniac || 6.1k
College AU, Car Sex, Fluff and Smut
Harry turns back to him, cheeks pink and biting his lip. âThereâs lots of space.â
âYou want us to defile Belinda?â Louis asks in sheer disbelief.
âIâm kind of desperate,â he admits, eyes shining in the fluorescent glow of the campus street lamps. âAnd besides⊠Belinda doesnât mind.â
***
University students Harry and Louis want to spend some alone time together â the problem is, both of their respective roommates are fast asleep. Harry solves that problem with some blankets, a secluded parking space, and his beloved beater van, Belinda.
Gotta Have You || @styleandsin || 6k
Kidfic, Valentine's Day
âIâm glad I married someone thatâs still down with having sex in the laundry room while our kid is in the middle of a movie and thereâs ten minutes left until the dinosaur chicken nuggets have to come out of the oven,â Louis says, voice serious but a small smile on his face.
âMe too,â Harry says with a laugh before getting back to his food.
Louis laughs along with him until he looks down at Harryâs plate, âare you really using a fork and knife for chicken nuggets?â
Harry looks up at him and the genuine judgement on his face makes him giggle.
âIâm trying to be fancy! We were supposed to be going to a really nice restaurant Lou, Iâm just trying to recreate the experience.â He then dips the chicken nugget into his ketchup with his fork.
Or, an AU where Valentineâs Day doesnât go according to plan but possibly turns out even more romantic
NC-17 || kikikryslee || 5.5k
Public Sex, Fluff and Smut
Louis took the tip of Harryâs cock between his lips and just let his tongue lap over it for a minute. He wanted to watch Harry crumble as best as he could thanks to the dark lighting in the theater.
As Louis moved down another inch, Harryâs eyelids fluttered some more. Louis smiled around Harryâs cock, watching as Harry now struggled to not only keep his eyes open, but also focused on anything but the boy in his lap, not wanting to draw attention if anyone were to turn around at this moment.
---
Or, the one where Louis drags Harry to a horror movie festival even though Harry is afraid of scary movies, so Louis decides to give Harry something else to focus on instead.
Battle of the Balls || @greenblueish || 5k
Famous/Famous, YouTube AU, Secret Relationship
âRim of the hole, Haz, really?â he gazes at the camera again. âThis is getting demonetised and honestly, rightfully so. How are we still allowed to make videos? YouTube, why donât you just do yourself the favour and delete our channels?â
âAfter everyone sees that I win this game though,â Harry winks, dimples still showing.Â
or, the one where YouTubers Harry and Louis play Golf With Friends, go to the pub with Niall and return home six hours after posting the video.

Only Reason
By: letsjustsee/ @letsjustseeâ
Words: 5,223
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: One Direction (Band)
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson
Additional Tags: Meet-Cute, Mistaken Identity, Fluff, No Smut, Beekeeping
Summary:
âWe are so lucky to have with us one of the leading experts on beekeeping in the modern age, Dr. Louis Draper.â
No. No, no, noâŠ
âI know I speak for many of us when I say that this manâs books have guided our practice, or helped us get started,â Harry continued, and Louis watched as the crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
Oh shit. No. What? No.
But then Harry was gesturing towards him, saying âDr. Draper?â into the microphone, the crowd was applauding, and Louis found himself walking up the stairs to the stage.
Or, Louis is most definitely smitten with Harry from the second he sees him, but he is also most definitely not the world's foremost expert on beekeeping. He decides to roll with it anyway.
(Review: This fic is so feel good that I was smiling literally the entire time I read it. This author is really great at making you feel what the characters feel. The shyness, oh my goodness, I was blushing and it wasnât even dirty. It was just really cute and sweet. Please read this fic. It is definitely worth the time.)

28!
Thank you, darling!! xox
28. Name a book you donât mind reading over and over.
*heh* All of them, if itâs a book I love. I was just saying to a friend recently, I didnât realize that some (most? lots of?) people donât reread the way I do. Reading for me is like brain medicine, if that makes sense, and in fact, I prefer rereading because itâs comforting. Why yes, I do have a lot of anxiety, why do you ask?Â
For real though, if I love a book, I love to revisit it. So, books like Stephen Kingâs The Stand, the LotR books, obviously Harry Potter, are all books I reread regularly. I just did a binge re-read of like, most of Nora Robertâs more recent stuff. I do love her and also she irks the SHIT out of me but itâs very comforting.
For fic, I am rereading @vmohlereâs brilliant Infinite Coffee and Protection Detail. I just texted her to tell her how much I love it, and how, even after 8 billion years of therapy and a literally PhD in psychology, I still learn about healing complex PTSD from her and this story, and how much of a gift that is. Â
Iâve been revisiting some of saras_girlâs works as well. A thing thatâs super interesting to me Is how fandom writing shifts over time, and how things I once loved do or do not hold up for me. Her work in general realllly holds up for me, and I do love her Advent fics; they hold a really special place in my heart. I also just did a reread of the @helloamhereâs brilliant brilliant Symphony Hall series. SO GOOD, so wonderfully written. Thereâs something about the way she characterizes her Louis that makes me feel really seen.Â
Iâm, like, neurotically picky about what I read, and learning/understanding that I could just nope out of things that donât grab me was so incredible. And when I love, I love with ALL OF MY BEING, and that goes for fic and books as well as anything else. There are a lot of authors where I just trust them, so I read whatever they put out, but the things that grab me, that work their way into my being, I come back to again and again.

What Iâm Reading: July
Re-Reads:
1. Led by Your Beating Heart (missandrogyny) - Harryâs in One Direction, Louis isnât, and they reconnect over a game of âCall or Deleteâ.
2. From Eight Until Late, I Think About You (supernope) - After finding out that his University of Brighton roommate has a YouTube channel, Harry starts up his own channel, on which he posts videos of himself doing weekly challenges. He strikes up a friendship with Louis, a popular YouTuber in London, that starts in the comments on their videos and progresses to texting, skyping, and talking about each other in their own videos far too often. They fall for each other long-distance, but put off meeting face-to-face as long as possible, too nervous that theyâll screw it all up.
New Reads:
1. Deep Within the Mystery of Your Eyes (I Am Home at Last)Â (patdkitten) - Itâs a world where you discover your soulmate after skin contact and finding your world exploding in colour. Louis has been blind his entire life. He makes do quite well, thank you very much, and heâs glad that he doesnât have to see colours fade in and out of his world. Harry trains disability dogs, and, during a chance meeting with Louis at a local market, he discovers that Louisâ his soulmate. He comes up with a wild scheme - train his current dog to be the perfect dog for Louis - in order to keep Louis in his life, and maybe convince him theyâre soulmates.
2. Members Only (kikikryslee) - Louis works at Harryâs new gym and neither one of them knows how to hold a coherent conversation with the other.
3. Somewhere I Can Rest My Soul (togetherwecouldbealright) - The way your soulmate sees you is tattooed onto your skin.
4. Then We Talk Slow (letsjustsee) - A famous/non-famous AU in which Louis banters back and forth with his new record company on Twitter, only to find out that Harry is the man behind the tweets.
5. Say You Want Me (orphan_account) - A famous/non-famous AU featuring Liam, Zayn, and Harry as the members of Sonic Boom, an English band that unexpectedly sky rocketed to international fame, Niall as their biggest fan, and Louis as the exact opposite. Harryâs a closeted pop star and Louis is the uni student he keeps fighting with on Twitter. Itâs all silly banter until it turns into something else.
6. And I Know These Scars Will Bleed (sweetkisses) - Harry has anger issues and he meets Louis in a rehab center.
7. There is No Fear Now, Let Go and Just Be Free (hilourry) - Louis is an omega and dates Harry, who they think is a beta, but he turns out to be an alpha. They accidentally soul bond and Louis ends up pregnant.
8. Shape of You (only_angel_28) - Harry is insecure about a certain rather large part of his anatomy that is apparently intimidating to the point where it has actually scared off potential shags. When he ends up confessing this to his best friend and roommate, Louis takes it upon himself to prove that Harryâs size doesnât have to be a curse, and decides to help show him just how perfect he is.
9. Oh Glory (alivingfire) - Harry Styles is Team Great Britainâs newest swimmer, and has spent his whole life training for this moment, a chance at the gold medal in the Rio 2016 Olympics. All his training, hard work, and dedication to no distractions is tested when heâs assigned to the same Rio apartment as Louis Tomlinson, British gymnast and Harryâs childhood crush.

Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
đž Just Your Jinx by @larryatendoftheday (T, 10k)
Harry Styles may or may not have accidentally jinxed his extremely fit new neighbor, and it's not so easy to make things right.
đžÂ a garden in bloom by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry (G, 10k)
Louis used to live the quiet sweet life of a small business owner in the English countryside.
Then Harry Styles came along.
đž Make Him Want to Sin by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird (E, 9k)
The strangerâs sharp gaze landed on him immediately, the eye contact shattering through Harryâs defenses. For the first time in his life, Harry had an instantaneous reaction to someone. The man stared down at him with interest, like he wanted to take Harry apart and put him back together again, piece by piece. Harry wanted that more than anything, and he wanted it right now. It took every ounce of strength he had ever possessed to not drop down to his knees instinctively.
All from one glance.
Harry is a curatorial assistant at the London Museum of Natural History, on the day of the big annual gala he catches a glimpse of someone unexpected.
đž Give Me One Excuse by green_feelings / @greenfeelings (T, 9k)
Louis gets dumped by his fiancée and Harry is his replacement. It's not their decision to get engaged, but it's their decision to get married.
Or, an Arranged Marriage Royal AU.
đž You Deserve It All by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings (NR, 9k)
Just once Harry would like to face his ex and feel confident, but he's shit at confronting Nick and unfortunately his shopping skills aren't much better. Thankfully for him, the cute sales boy at the clothing shop knows a thing or two about fashion and making ex boyfriends green with envy.
đž Night Out by @helloamhere (E, 9k)
Symphony hall was the first place Louis had felt at home in this city, and he always had the box to himself. Until tonight.
đž a body wishes to be held & held by @turnyourankle (E, 9k)
Harry wants to return the favour after Louis helps him out with his heat.
đž Sweet to the Soul, Health to the Bones by wildhalos (T, 9k)
âWhen you walk in, every single thing stops. I see you, only.â
Someone keeps declaring their love on the brick wall outside Louisâs office window. It's possible Louis should be concerned, but the romantic in him would like to believe a stalker would use something slightly more vicious than chalk and pretty words.
đž Second Time's the Charm by @cherrystreet (E, 8k)
Louisâ mother is convinced she met her sonâs soulmate at the market. Louis is extremely hesitant to go on the blind date sheâs set up, but sheâs persistent, begging and pleading, pulling out all the stops. After all, mothers do know best.
(Or maybe they donât.)
đž Now That It's Over by @lululawrence (NR, 8k)
âWhat are the odds we would both be at Marianoâs on a Thursday night?â
Louisâ shoulders tensed. What the hell was he doing here?
âHarry? Hi? The odds are pretty crazy, yeah.â
Harry smiled down at Louis the way he used to, but there was also a glint in his eye that Louis absolutely did not like. Harry was also dressed in his favorite black and white striped womenâs jeans and a printed shirt only he would ever be able to pull off. It was quite rude of him to come and interrupt Louis, particularly while looking so good. Louis hadnât seen him since heâd finished moving his shit out of what was once their shared flat, so this being the first time seeing him wasnât exactly providence in Louisâ mind.
Or the one where Harry and Louis broke up two months ago, and Harry just might be sabotaging Louis' dates.
đž good enough (for you) by localopa / @voulezloux (G, 8k)
omega louis is next in line to rule the pack. in spite of the rule saying he needs an alpha to rule, he creates an impossible olympics to find a worthy mate. harry somehow wins the gold.
đž Mr. Tuesday by @jaerie (E, 8k)
Tuesday. Harry loved Mr. Tuesday.
It was true that most of his clients were regulars, but there was just something about Mr. Tuesday that would make him stand out amongst the others even if he hadnât booked almost every single Tuesday with him for the past year. It was the first day of Harryâs work week and Mr. Tuesday always eased him into it in such a pleasant way.
đžÂ Holding out for something more by SunTomato / @sun-tomato (NR, 8k)
"This isn't a social call, is it, Curly?"
Harry's gaze drops to the floor.
"No."
Harry takes a deep breath, fists clenching at his side, before he looks up again. His eyes meet Louisâ with a mix of fear and determination.
"I want to make a deal."
OR The one where demon Louis really doesn't want Harry to trade away his soul, even if he can't explain why.
đž I Don't Love You I Want in Your House by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 7k)
Harry comes into the bakery almost every day trying to woo Louis.
Zayn works out at the gym maybe a little more than necessary so that he can get the chance to watch Liam train.
Niall is the only one who ever checks the mail.
đž Your secretâs safe with me by lightswoodmagic / @lightwoodsmagic (M, 7k)
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 heâd 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, heâd never learnt, or been allowed to know, Hazâs 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.
đž 'Sup by MediaWhore / @mediawhorefics (G, 6k)
Gemma really wants her little brother to sign up for a dating app and get back in the game after a messy divorce. Harry thinks heâs way too old to swipe. They compromise to devastatingly embarrassing results.
Meanwhile, all Louis wants is to finish the play heâs been commissioned to write, but one of the regulars at his local coffee shop keeps distracting him.
ft. older larry, pushy gemma, harry being a disaster gay and silver fox louis.
đž Easier by @allwaswell16 (E, 6k)
The last person Louis wants to see is his ex-boyfriend who also happens to be his soulmate.
đž Bijou by @kingsofeverything (E, 6k)
Being in love with his best friend wouldn't be so awful if Harry didn't have to listen to him constantly complain about how the guys he dates don't measure up.
đž We're Getting Better With Time by @haztobegood (T, 5k)
Hello Harry, this may seem out of the blue, and even weirder if you donât remember me. We hung out for a few weeks back in the summer of 82. A picture of you showed up on my facebook tonight, I think because we have a few mutual friends on here. I know we havenât spoken in forty years, but I thought Iâd just shoot you a message. I hope youâre doing well. L
Or, the one where Louis is single, Harry is recently divorced, and they reconnect on Facebook forty years after they first met.
đžÂ old macdonald had a farm by vintagehistories / @adoredontour (NR, 5k)
Louis is a hedgehog, Harry is a fish, Niall is a parrot, Liam is a golden retriever, and Zayn is Zayn. Itâs a crazy twenty-four hours.
đž Only Reason by @letsjustsee (NR, 5k)
âWe are so lucky to have with us one of the leading experts on beekeeping in the modern age, Dr. Louis Draper.â
No. No, no, noâŠ
âI know I speak for many of us when I say that this manâs books have guided our practice, or helped us get started,â Harry continued, and Louis watched as the crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
Oh shit. No. What? No.
But then Harry was gesturing towards him, saying âDr. Draper?â into the microphone, the crowd was applauding, and Louis found himself walking up the stairs to the stage.
Or, Louis is most definitely smitten with Harry from the second he sees him, but he is also most definitely not the world's foremost expert on beekeeping. He decides to roll with it anyway.
đž Get Nesting & Soft Knots by ishiplouis / @pocketsunshineharry (G, 5k)
AU where Omega Louis who runs a nesting materials Youtube channel meets Alpha Harry who knits his own blankets

Delicate by FallingLikeThis | T | 1492
They say opposites attract.
Maybe thatâs why nerdy, shy Harry Styles has such a huge crush on rough, brash Louis Tomlinson.
And now, he's stuck in a lift with him.
an honest mistake by disgruntledkittenface | nr | 2048
âYou look different when youâre not covered in come,â he blurts out, immediately regretting each and every life choice that has led to this exact moment. Elevator Guy is going to hate him.
Louis has ridden the elevator with his neighbor all week. The first time they speak, thereâs a misunderstanding.
No Matter What by fallenflowercrowns | T | 2416
Two Englishmen (and two Germans) in New York. Or, a chance meeting.
Lift by threeturn | E | 3940
Liam and Louis try to get to the fifth floor.
Theory of Evolution by YesIsAWorld | G | 4652
Louis has never backed down from a dare and isnât about to start now.
Lovin' It Up by letsjustsee | nr | 6986
What did Niall know? This had nothing to do with the few times (okay, countless times) Louis had pined over the idea of Hot Neighbor while drinking. Nothing at all. So what if he had perfect lips and long legs and the cutest little curls around his ears? Certainly not Louis.
He continued to scribble away, most of his words indiscernible except for one written in large letters at the very top of the napkin: REVENGE
Or, a neighbors AU in which Louis vows to get revenge on the guy who didn't hold the elevator for him - no matter how ridiculously attractive he may be.
I Can Feel Your Heart Inside of Mine by flyinghome21 | E | 8336
When you're within one mile/kilometer of your soulmate, your soulmate's first name will beat out in Morse code by your heartbeat and pulse in your wrist. It poses a problem because it's just the first name, and if you mess up translating the Morse code, you can go about thinking or looking for the wrong soulmate.
Harry Styles heard the name of his soulmate when he was fifteen. The only problem? He missed most of it. Nearly ten years later, he's all but given up hope in finding his soulmate when he gets stuck in an elevator with a beautiful man....
Wearing Nothing But Your Kiss by dinosaursmate | E | 10017
The lift stopped and Harry sighed, picking up the shopping bag and looking up. They werenât at his floor; in fact, they were at no floor. The lift seemed to have lost power, the lights flickering off and he was plunged into the relative darkness of a dim emergency light.
âGreat.â The man in the lift with Harry sighed, then quickly crossed the small space and pressed the alarm button to no response.
Harry watched him with dull curiosity before⊠shit. It was that guy! Something Tomlinson, and if Harry wasnât mistaken, heâd just been nominated for an Oscar. He dropped the shopping bag to the floor, his palms sweating.
---
Harry gets stuck in a lift with that actor with the incredible arse and tries to remember how to function as a human being.
to lure a hummingbird (you had me moonstruck) by brokenbeaks | E | 81439
Before the dawn of their first proper interaction, Louis William Tomlinson doesn't know the impact of the starlit atmosphere. He doesn't know that snails can sleep for three entire years, nor that an octopus' heart rate is tripled due to its inheritance of three cardiac organs. He doesn't know, because he's yet to dive into the enigmatic, limitless mind of Harry Edward Styles.
And when he finally knows, he doesn't ever want to go back.
Or: An enemies-to-lovers fic where Harry and Louis are neighbours who are forced to get along due to the inconvenience (or convenience) of a broken lift.

Happy Birthday to my darling @letsjustsee!!!!! I canât believe writing one little witch harry fic led to finding one of my best friends in the fandom <3. This preview (and mood board) is for you because youâve been so supportive of this fic since day 1! Most of the prologue is under the cut. For more snippets of this fic you can check here.
These Sparks We Light by QuickedWeen
COMING FALL 2017
PROLOGUE, 2014
But did you see the flares in the sky? Were you blinded by the light?
Bodies pressed together and stray limbs flailed as Louis Tomlinson stared up at the stage of the Apollo in Manchester. Louis had been looking forward to this concert for months. The members of The Script were performing their hearts out as he watched with wide eyes.
This. This was what he wanted to do. He wanted to write songs and belt his heart out in front of hundreds, thousands, of people. This was all he had ever wanted, and he needed to figure out how to make it happen. He had enough putting it off, enough sitting around on his ass. All the song ideas floating around in his head needed to be flushed out, written down, given proper chord progressions â instead of staying stagnant as plucked along melodies and half written lyrical phrases on napkins.
His dramatic new revelation and mission in life washed over him and the elation was so intense, he needed to share it with someone. He looked to his right, to his date for the evening, Michael, and all he felt was apathy. The outburst of ambition died on his tongue as he watched Michael play a stupid game on his phone. While The Script was performing and Louis was making profound life-altering decisions. It felt a little anticlimactic.
They had been seeing each other for a month or so, been on a few dates, and Michael was kind of interesting, kind of good in bed, kind of good looking. Kind of, kind of, kind of⊠blah. Louis shrugged it off and went back to screaming along with one of his favorite songs off the new album.
As the song came to a close, Louis looked around for his roommate Liam. When Louis bought the tickets, he bought enough for his friends, specifically so he and Liam could both bring dates. He laughed maniacally in his head as he saw Liam push through the crowd, followed by Zayn, the guy Liam had always had a crush on, even before they knew each other. Perrie and Jesy followed close behind, holding their drinks aloft so they wouldnât be tipped over by the crush of the general admission crowd.
âHere you go, love,â Perrie said as she thrust a plastic cup filled with lukewarm beer into Louisâ hand.
âThanks, youâre the best,â Louis yelled as the band started up again.
âHey whereâs mine?â Michael whined, finally looking up from his screen. Perrie very pointedly ignored him, choosing to pretend she hadnât heard him over the crowd.
Michael made eye contact with him, and Louis shrugged in his general direction, passing him the beer. His desire to not hear Michael continue to complain vastly outweighed his desire to drink.
Beer gone, Louis watched out of the corner of his eye as Liam subtly tried to move closer to Zayn. The only way to do that was to start blocking Louisâ line of site. It wasnât that Louis was that much shorter than Liam. No. It was just that the angles were all wrong now, that was it. Huffing out a breath, Louis began to nudge Michael so he could move to stand in front of him, next to Liam instead of being directly blocked by his big head.
Louis settled into place, getting comfortable in his new pocket of the crowd when all of a sudden the masses shifted in front of him. Beautiful! An even better view!
The lead singer was singing into the jumble of people down on the barrier, as close as the audience could get, specifically focused on one person. Through Louisâ new window in the mass of bodies, he could only vaguely see who it was. All he could catch was a flash of brightly colored shirt. Geeze. What was so interesting about this person that Danny kept singing directly to them?
The crowd finally parted the rest of the way, and if the band really was fading out, Louis wouldnât have been able to tell the difference. Everything around him fell away.
There, being sung to by Danny OâDonoghue, was the most beautiful man Louis had ever seen in his entire life. He was tall and lanky, but broad at the same time, and he had a little muscle on him. A conundrum. His shoulder length chestnut curls were matted, sweat making them cling to his forehead, and frizz up around his head, the stage lights bouncing off them creating a halo. Dancing like he didnât have a single care in the entire world, the boy was twisting and riding the rise and fall of the music, throwing his whole body into singing the chorus at the top of his lungs. He was a vision and personality was pouring off of him in waves.
Something clicked into place in Louisâ heart at just that moment. At the ripe old age of twenty two, Louis was dropping life changing decisions left and right, feet firmly planted on the dingy floor of the Apollo. That. That was who he wanted. Not someone like him. That boy. That was the boy he was going to marry.
âYou should probably go talk to him, then,â Michael spat out sarcastically. Wait, what?
âPardon?â Louis questioned with a confused look at Michaelâs now standoffish body language.
âYou said thatâs the boy youâre going to marry. If youâre going to marry him, you should probably talk to him first.â Bitterness dripped heavily off every word Michael was parroting back to him. âSince clearly this date isnât doing it for you.â
Louis tried to drum up any kind of excuse; it was a joke, he didnât mean it, but nothing made it past the barrier of his vocal cords. All that came out was, âYeah, I guess youâre right, I should!â Whoops.
Michael didnât back down; instead, he rolled his eyes, as if he was the most put upon person in the universe just for dealing with Louis, and draped his arm across Louisâ shoulders. Louis tensed under the touch, realizing that it was as though a switch had been flipped. Michaelâs touch had been palatable, bordering on comfortable, before and now it was downright unwelcome.
By the time Louis turned back to the show, the crowd had come back together, and he could no longer see the dancing stranger. He craned his neck occasionally trying to catch a glimpse of him, but no luck. Louis decided he would approach him when the set was finished and everyone was making their way out of the venue. The boy would have to pass by him at some point just based on where they were positioned. Maybe he could linger if he asked Michael to be in charge of getting a taxi for everyone. Michael loved to feel important.
The finale and encores were appropriately mind blowing, but all of Louis attempts to ditch Michael fell on deaf ears. Perrie offered to go get the taxis, and Michaelâs hand had migrated from Louisâ shoulder to his waist.
While Michael talked out the logistics of taxi distribution with Liam, Louis finally picked up the trail of his curly haired crush. There he was, and he was even more dazzling, his smile wide, eyes twinkling as he talked to the girl with platinum blonde hair next to him. One step closer.
Louis prayed this wasnât a girlfriend or something. They looked equally attractive. Maybe too equally? Was this his sister? They followed the shuffle of the bodies around them easily, letting it guide them like a current.
Louisâ heartbeat picked up, and his breathing went shallow as he neared. The boy made it within ten feet of him, before he paused his conversation, gaze flicking up and down, giving Louis a good solid once over. Louis quickly cataloged in his mind what the boy probably saw; flushed cheeks, glistening forehead, cheap beer, Michaelâs hands on his waist, surrounded by a group of people.
When they finally made eye contact it was like a punch to Louisâ solar plexus, the boy had bright emerald green eyes that bore into Louisâ for a split second before they rolled sardonically away from Louisâ gaze.
Louis flitted over the rest of the boyâs facial expression desperately searching for a grin or smirk â anything that wouldnât make the gesture the rejection he suspected. Nothing. The boy gave him one last look, something unreadable in his gaze, before continuing to pass by as if nothing had happened.
Deep within Louisâ soul he felt the desperation to run after the boy, tap him on the shoulder, and ask what the eye roll had been for, but he had lost his nerve.
The boy with the chestnut curls had won this round, but Louis Tomlinson was not a quitter.
