hello, can you tell me the most popular/ must read Larry fics please?
Hello, anon! So I wouldn't necessarily categorize "most popular" and "must read" as the same thing for me, if that makes sense. That being said, I'll give you the ten most popular HL fics and then give you five more that I think are also "must reads" in addition to the top ten most popular ones. These other "must read" fics are ones that are indeed quite popular as well and that are particularly loved by me. If you'd like a longer rec of "must read" fics, you can fill out the suggestion box on the pinned post!
Here are the top ten most popular HL fics (by kudos) on ao3:
Young & Beautiful by Velvetoscar
Escapade by dolce_piccante
Unbelievers by isthatyoularry
Fading by tothemoonmydear
Baby Heaven's in your Eyes by theboyfriendstagram
Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can't Lose by dolce_piccante
Bloodsport by isthatyoularry
Relief Next To Me by dolce_piccante
Tired Tired Sea by MediaWhore
And Then a Bit by infinitelymint
Five more "must read" fics:
Love Is A Rebellious Bird by 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews
AU in which the boys still make music. Louis is the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra, Harry is the New! and Exciting! interim conductor/ex-cello prodigy who "has made Mozart cool again" according to Esquire Magazine (Louis hates him immediately, which is definitely why he internet stalked him in his dark bedroom late at night that one time), and Niall is the best. Zayn and Liam are around too.
Don't hum Bolero.
Nothing But You On My Mind by nonsensedarling
Louis Tomlinson is a PR manager hired to improve the image of royal bad-boy Prince Harry Styles. Unfortunately for him, that means being faced with the Prince's constant innuendos, incessant dirty jokes, and relentless flirting. Louis just wants to make it to Princess Gemma's coronation; once she's crowned Queen, his contract is up and he never has to see the Prince again.
Into The Blue by zarah5
AU. In which Louis is Harry's scuba instructor and quite happy to provide the requested special treatment, pun fully intended. It can't be all that difficult to convince Harry that they're on the same page, right? Also, Niall and Liam may or may not be dating, and Zayn is surrounded by emotionally stunted idiots. He bears it with dignity.
Where You Lay by HamPalpert
When Louis's upcoming heat threatens his success at his new dream job, he asks the best (and only) person he can think of to help him through it: his best mates' best mate, Harry Styles. Harry reluctantly accepts, and together the two navigate a strange friends with benefits relationship that quickly turns complicated.
Emperor's New Clothes by sunsetmog
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.

Gods & Monsters by Velvetoscar
Mature
201k
Strangers to lovers, Cult Classic
The instructions were simple: seduce and destroy Harry Styles. Not once did they discuss the option of Louis actually falling in love. So, naturally, that's exactly what he did.

it’s been half a year since i’ve read young & beautiful by velvetoscar, and this book is still not leaving my mind.
velvetoscar’s brilliant writing style and the complexity of her characters make this book a masterpiece. it made me forget i was reading a literal larry fanfiction, and more like it was high literature, which made me see life in an entirely different perspective. y&b is yet the only book which made me endure literal physical pain while reading, and i loved every second of it. the storyline is so gut wrenching yet beautiful. velvetoscar’s way with words is truly breathtaking, and if i could’ve, i would have underlined almost every quote there is because there were all incredible. she writes such in-depth characters that i felt like i really got to know them, that i could understand them.
in my opinion, young & beautiful is the most perfect slow burn, fluff romance which discusses very heavy topics that are wonderfully written with an enormous amount of angst. forever one of my favorite books.

“Because in that one voice, he can hear every broken bit inside Harry. He can hear every single thing that went wrong in his life, every struggle, every ounce of pain, and suddenly he just understands it all. Understands how fucked up this all is.
He can hear everything in Harry that's clung to his soul and his very makeup. Like stepping onto glass, imbedding shards and leaving scars, too delicate of incisions to ever properly heal or smooth over.”
