Monthly Fic Roundup - August 2022

a bit late, but better late than never :]

kudos and comment and send lots of luv to all the talented people here, you know the drill!

— Come Here by BluishFrog (gen | comp. | 4k)

Three times Dream asked George to come here and the one time George did.

— r/WhoTheFuckIsDNF by furculaed (gen | wip | 2k+)

Dream realizes something and turns to reddit for help.

— Bruiseless by summerchai (gen | comp. | 6k)

Dream watches George be a good father, and tries to feel like one too.

— The Pilates Instructor by MilkWasTaken (exp. | comp. | 18k)

After listening to his friend rant about how great his new Pilates instructor is, George finds himself following along to one of his classes to see for himself. But there was one thing Sapnap had failed to mention. The Pilates instructor was really hot. It also seems like the instructor picks favorites, as he offers George a private lesson once the class is over. Just the two of them, working up a sweat together in his private studio. How could he ever say no to such an offer?

— earl grey and emergency rooms by juniper (teen | comp. | 1k)

George burns himself with tea, and they both get a little weird about it.

— Somewhere Only We Know by yoyoyoitsvern (mature | wip | 29k+)

It's been a month. They'd been on a few streams together, recorded something for Bad's channel, and spoken in group chats with each other. Besides that, no contact. George thinks it's the longest they've ever gone without addressing each other directly. So, when he opens his email one random morning, he can't help but burst out laughing. His fucking visa is approved.

— Obsessed by sampam (exp. | comp. | 7k)

When George moves to Florida, he finally learns just how obsessed Dream is with their size difference.

— Presently in London by consciousness_streaming (expl. | comp. | 18k)

On the day before Dream's birthday, Sapnap gives him the greatest gift he's ever received--a one way ticket to London to see George.

— summer smokes, bright heavens by FraustiButBad (expl. | comp. | 15k)

Dream hates how Sapnap and Punz, his best friends and the most annoying (he doesn’t mean that) couple on this entire planet, have to drag him onto a camping trip.

— A Loving Feeling by snakeinaboyband (teen | comp. | 6k)

“You wanna get in the hot tub?” “Is that even a question?” Their eyes meet and he traces freckles across his nose. Dream grins, “Well, your lips are turning blue, so..” “Creep,” He furrows his eyebrows, lips already curving up teasingly, “Why would you even-” His friend claps a hand over his mouth, tips of his ears going a bit pink, “George, can you ever shut up?”

— no one can see me like you do by capywrites (exp. | comp. | 23k)

George's Visa is finally approved. The waiting is over with. All that there is left to do is start his new life with Dream, and George is terrified of how much he loves him.

— ceilings by arcadianlilac (mature | comp. | 3k)

dream takes george to the beach -- a fic inspired by "ceilings" by lizzy mcalpine

— This Thing Called Us by venus43 (expl. | wip | 46k+)

summer with dream is a lot harder than george anticipated

— hold my hand, there's no need to be brave by honeyslut (expl. | comp. | 10k)

where george misses his boyfriend and some tears are spilled

Happy reading!

🔹Sugary Sweet by @neondiamond [G, 1k, Harry/Louis]

Sometimes, all you need is a little sugar to get the day started.

Or Harry and Louis’ daughter knows exactly how to get what she wants, Harry is pregnant, and Louis is the best husband ever.

🔹Sidetracked by @neondiamond [G, 2k, Louis/Harry]

While scrambling to get his whole life packed up the night before moving in with Harry, Louis and the boys get distracted and take a trip down memory lane.

🔹Wild As You by bluegreenish / @greenblueish [M, 9k, Harry/Louis]

As much as Harry had not been overjoyed at the prospect of leaving Minnesota behind and starting high school in rural central Nebraska, it had definitely changed his life in ways staying at his childhood home never would have. Within days he had found fellow students to sit with at lunch, within weeks he had considered them friends, within months he had learned to love Nebraska, and within four years, he had wildly fallen in love with Louis Tomlinson.

or, a story about how Harry figures out whether the ideal of a house with a white picket fence in the suburbs of a medium-sized city is what he wants, or whether Louis' sheep ranch is the home his heart really desires.

🔹Caught In Between Love by Kikiberoski16 / @larrysballetslippers [E, 9k, Louis/Harry]

He kissed Harry’s lips, soft and fleeting. Louis didn’t waste any time and went down, kissing Harry’s neck, chest, abs and lower abdomen. Harry panted quietly, but he was sure he could come right away. He hasn’t been touched for such a long time that any physical contact was now feeling magnified.

“Can I have a kiss too?” Andrew whimpered in the background.

Or Harry had a crush on Andrew, his co-worker, for a few months, but when he meets Louis, the handsome BDSM club owner, everything changes.

🔹De Novo by skipper / @skipperxao3 [M, 4k, Harry/Louis]

Harrie always knew that things weren’t right in her world, but it was many years before she had the answers, not only about herself but the world around her. With the help of two wonderful friends, she comes to embrace life as it truly is. She’s found happiness and confidence within herself, feeling truly content for the first time in her life.

One thing she longs for is to share her life with another person, but fear holds her back. She doesn’t know if she’s able to be accepted as she is now. But that doesn’t stop the world from trying and allowing her to see who she needs to be.

Despite her reservations, she realizes that one failed date doesn’t mean is it’s an end all. It simply means she wasn’t herself the first time around.

With a deep, steady breath of fresh air, Harrie knows now. She’s ready and the future is here in the form of a wonderful person who doesn’t hold her past against her. In fact, he finds her imperfectly perfect exactly as she is, and that’s all Harrie needs.

🔹Close Enough to Touch by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf [M, 11k, Harry/Louis]

There had been chart topping singles and sold out arenas when Louis Tomlinson was one fifth of the world's most successful boyband.

Embarking on his first solo tour was stressful enough without his closest friends encouraging him to push even further outside of his comfort zone. Louis definitely did not need a masseuse on tour. Not even if that masseuse turned out to be gorgeous, kind, and lovely. It was the last thing Louis thought he needed.

He was wrong.

🔹Pancakes for Two by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf [E, 1k, Louis/Zayn, Niall/Harry]

Louis goes to a key party. He didn't expect to see Harry.

🔹Close Our Eyes (Pretend We're Miles Away) by @haztobegood [E, 5k, Louis/Harry]

Louis and Harry have been on the run for a day and a half now. It’s a hard situation to be in, and they’ve been trying to cope the best they can since their relaxing girls’ weekend at a rented cabin turned into a living nightmare.

Just forty eight hours ago, Harry never would have robbed a bank. Hell, she barely would have touched the gun she’d used in the robbery, let alone wave it around to threaten anyone. Forty eight hours ago, Louis hadn’t used that same gun to shoot a man.

🔹Good Dogs Don’t Bark by @haztobegood [M, 1k, Harry/Louis]

“Don’t know where it came from, but it’s here to stay,” Harry laughed into the mic. Barking at the crowd gave him such a thrill. He couldn’t remember the first time he barked at the crowd, but he remembered how it made his heart race every time. He always wondered how his Master would react if he were there. Would he be punished for barking in public? But Louis had been busy with his own world tour, and Harry kept barking.

🔹Something Like This by @multicoloredme [E, 152k+, wip, Louis/Harry]

After leaving his boyfriend, Louis is a little sore emotionally and is ready for a fresh start in a new city. When a coworker tells him about a couple friends looking for a new flatmate, he decides to go for it. Little does he know, that one of his new flatmates is the gorgeous, captivating guy he met at a party a few weeks ago. A New Girl/Grey’s Anatomy/Relief Next To Me inspired AU.

Harry bit his lip. “Um, I didn’t mention us meeting to Niall, and now that you’re here–”

“Pretend we just met?” Louis finished.

“Yeah,” Harry gave him a half-hearted smile. “If we’re going to be flatmates, it’s probably best to… just forget it, I guess? Have a ‘no dating flatmates’ rule?”

“Yeah,” Louis echoed. “I mean, you seem great, but–”

“It would get so messy–”

“Exactly,” Louis pointed at him in agreement. “Just friends?”

“Absolutely.”

“Great.”

Louis sighed in relief. At least that was settled. They were both in agreement: Friends only. Piece of cake.

🔹after hours by safetyfilm / @larrieblr [E, 16k, Harry/Louis]

Harry moves like lightning as he slides the books off the shelves into the open, waiting abyss of his bag. Then, as Louis clears the other end of the exhibit just as quickly, he moves on to the display case next to it and the one after that. One flimsy book practically flies open as he picks it up, the paper held together by feeble strings on the spine. He leaves it behind. Not worth selling.

Or, a crime au set in 1980s Chicago.

🔹Nasha Tera by Lhhome @lh-home [T, 10k, minor/background relationship]

As Zayn goes through some internal and external struggles which she terms an existential crisis she meets some people that help her find the community she has been searching for.

🔹Tears on Paper by Lhhome / @lh-home [G, 228 words, Louis/Harry]

Harry

Who wasn’t

supposed to see

🔹there's always room for common ground by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed [T, 10k, Zayn/Liam]

Zayn never thought his life would be this way. When he’d first met Liam, he’d known that this was it. This was the man he was meant to marry, to be with for the rest of his life. And for a while things had been perfect. They had their dream wedding, their dream home, and after a few years, their perfect little girl. Things had been – well, perfect.

It’s why it’s so hard to swallow that these days Liam will barely look at him. That they’ve gone from being cuddled up on the couch together to barely being able to exchange pleasantries when they’re dropping off their daughter with one another.

🔹I don't mind being lost at sea by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed [T, 2k, Zayn & Louis]

“Would you like your eggs cooked, scrambled or fertilised tomorrow morning?”

Zayn looks at the stranger thoughtfully. “You know,” he says, “I don't think that pick up line works when we're both male.”

Or: the fic where Louis tries to cheer up a stranger in a bar.

🔹as if life were invented for my love by daffodilsforlou / @polaroidlouis [E, 3k, Harry/Louis]

He was such a cliché. A MILF thirsting for her pool boy.

🔹to lie with you by @justanothershadeofblue [M, 4k, Zayn/Louis]

For Louis Tomlinson, there's nothing that compares with getting his soulmark and meeting his soulmate. Nothing that he could imagine that ever could.

🔹Moonlight Minx by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom [E, 15k, Louis/Harry]

It’s not until they’re one glass each into their second bottle of red wine that the topic turns to relationships.

Harry has to ask. Things are going so well, but he doesn’t want to get his hopes up. “So… are you seeing anyone now?”

Louis lifts his wine glass to his lips, looking at Harry over the rim as he takes a sip. “Nope. You?”

“Nope.”

Louis grins at him. “So we’re just two single blokes-”

“Trapped on an island-”

“In a storm,” Louis adds, finishing the sentence for them.

“Yup,” Harry says, popping the ‘p’.

“How very rom-com of us.”

OR the one where an unexpected storm strands Harry on an island, Louis gets an unexpected house guest for the night, and love might just be the most unexpected thing of all.

🔹You know I love you, babe by @lululawrence [NR, 2k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw]

Nick sighed happily to himself. Yet another wonderful decision by Past Nick was stocking the fridge with the cheesecake. He honestly had no recollection of purchasing it, but it was the best thing he’d eaten all day. There was something so perfectly satisfying about a piece of cheesecake.

He should wax poetic to Louis about it. Tell him how he didn’t miss him at all because the cheesecake was all he would ever need.

Or the one where Nick fucks up and scrambles to make it right. Too bad that just makes things worse.

🔹Do You Think The Tides Know by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove [T, 12k, Zayn/Louis, endgame Louis/Harry]

Zayn had known from the beginning that his summer fling with Louis was just that – a summer thing, and no more. He’d known that Louis’ heart was already taken, known that this was just a chance for Louis to learn more about himself and his sexuality. Louis had been upfront about it the whole time. Unfortunately, Zayn dramatically underestimated how easy it would be to fall in love with Louis.

~*~“Um.” Louis swallowed hard. “Okay. I just, like – have you kissed guys?” Zayn nodded. “Guys, girls, a few non-binary people. I’ve met all sorts at the clubs near the university.” “Could you-” Another pause. “Like, I was wondering, would you… just to see what it’s like?” Zayn blinked. “Would I… kiss you?” Louis’ face was pale, but his gaze was steady on Zayn’s as he nodded. “If you want,” he said. “You don’t have to, if it’s too weird, or like… but I just… I wanted to try. I wanted to know.” Or, a fic based on the folklore love triangle, but it’s nobody’s fault and no one means to hurt anyone.

🔹Hash Brown, Egg Yolk, I Will Always Love You by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]

Niall is a regular at Harry's hole-in-the-wall breakfast diner, coming in almost every morning. As such, he feels uniquely qualified to opine that another regular, Louis, would be a perfect match for Harry.

He doesn't realize they're several years ahead of him on that.

🔹craving a kiss by fearsparks / @onlythebravest [G, 1k, Harry/Louis]

“But Lou, I really want to kiss someone.”

Louis let out a heavy, irritated sigh. “I gave you a solution.”

“But –”

“Actually, I gave you two.”

(Harry wants to kiss someone and Louis is the one that has to hear the whining.)

🔹we’re forever (and ever and ever and ever) by fearsparks / @onlythebravest [G, 3k, Louis/Harry]

Harry stroke Louis’ knuckles with his thumb as he said, “You’re it for me too, Lou. There’s no one else for me. You’re always gonna have me. I’m not going anywhere.”

“But I’m not ready. I’m so immature. I’m not responsible enough.”

“You’re perfect for me,” Harry interrupted. “The way you are right now is perfect for me right now.”

(Five times Louis said "I wish I met you later" and one time he didn't.)

🔹why can't we forgive and forget? by fearsparks / @onlythebravest [T, 1k, Harry/Louis]

“What the fuck are you doing walking on your own? Have you forgotten that you're living in a vampire-hating village? What’s wrong with you?”

Harry shouldn’t have relaxed as much as he did when he realised the person talking was Louis, but he did. When he didn’t immediately respond, Louis pushed him harder against the wall.

“Not even tapped into your strength,” Louis continued angrily, “a walking fucking target. Are you a fucking idiot? You’re immortal, not invincible.”

(Harry and Louis are having a heated argument. Very heated.)

🔹Take the Middle Path by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [E, 2k, Zayn/Harry/Louis]

Harry's desires are plentiful and complicated in a way that's always worried and confused him. Being with Louis and Zayn helps him explore the seemingly disparate aspects of who he is and what he wants, and to realize he doesn't have to choose just one.

🔹Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [E, 2k, Louis/Harry]

Louis gets a little caught up in adoring Harry's endearing breakfast-making habits. After breakfast, they both get a lot caught up in adoring each other's bodies.

🔹Food Fight by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13 [G, 1k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw]

It’s Louis’ famed cooking skills against Nick’s more cultured palate.

Fight.

🔹The Superstar Scavenger Scramble by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13 [G, 2k, Louis/Greg James]

He wants to win. And not just because he’s competitive as fuck, likes to best the other boys and put them in their place whatever they’re doing, never mind that this is a silly Radio 1 scavenger hunt around London, but because of what - who - is waiting at the other end.

🔹The Meeting by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson [M, 2k+, wip, Louis/Harry]

When Harry walks into the London office with a hangover, the last thing he expects to find out is that there's a new CEO in town.

🔹let me show you just how much i want ya by zita17 / @louisandtheaquarian [E, 2k+, wip, Harry/Louis]

An excerpt from my “fake zarry au” wip inspired by this year’s Wordplay prompt "scramble."

When Louis Tomlinson gets a directing gig that's layered in more NDA's than he's ever seen, the last person he expects to work for is famous pop star (and his best friend Liam's celebrity crush), ZAYN. But what he expects even less is Zayn's Very! Enthusiastic! Fashion Influencer! boyfriend Harry Styles, who seems to want to make Louis’ life a living hell with his very existence.

When Harry signed on to become Zayn's fake boyfriend, he expected 12 months of good press and a generous paycheck to help launch his makeup/skincare line—he didn't expect to fall in love at first sight with the man who'll apparently be following Zayn around all. the. damn. time. for the same year.

A fake dating with a twist famous/not-famous enemies to friends to secret lovers where Larry and Ziam fall in love behind the scenes while Zarry bicker in public.

In this scene, Harry and Louis are on the road with Zayn’s tour, and they’ve made it to the “friends who want benefits but don’t want to break their contracts” portion of their journey. One day they accidentally find a loophole.
