2023 1D Wordplay Challenge fics by yeah_alright (x)

💞 Five Weeks in a Row of Prompt, Plan, Write, Repeat 💞

Week 1: Poem >> The Cats that Got the Cream | Larry, Lilourry | 3k | Mature | crack fic | fic post

When Louis accidentally releases the tiger trapped in Harry’s thigh tattoo, Harry has to explain not just what the fuck is happening, but that it’s not just a tiger. Luckily, Louis has a secret of his own that might help.

Week 2: Run >> someday, girl, we're gonna get to that place | Larry | 3k | Teen & Up | gender expression exploration | fic post

Harry’s been drawn to pantyhose since he was a kid. If only he could stop taking every snag and run personally.

Week 3: Stable >> Shoulder 'n' the Load | Larry, Louis/his bandmates | 3k | Explicit | established relationship, hurt/comfort, PWP | fic post

When Louis breaks his arm and ends up in the hospital in traction, Harry comes up with an idea to distract him from the pain and discomfort. Louis’ bandmates are all too happy to pitch in.

Week 4: Forge >> The Doppel Effect | Harry & Louis | 6.5k | Teen & Up | sci fi, dystopian future | fic post

In a future where the rich and famous can use lifelike android doppelgangers to increase their reach and expand their fortunes, unauthorized use of the technology by enterprising criminals results in a sub-class of doppelgangers referred to as Forgeries.

Harry Styles lives a simple life, far from the luxurious and nefarious worlds occupied by Dops and Forgeries. At least, he’s never had a reason to think otherwise. Until a mysterious stranger shows up and threatens to turn Harry’s world upside down.

Week 5: Constraint >> Amenable | Zouis | 3k | Explicit | established relationship, D/s, PWP | fic post

Zayn guides Louis through a marathon day of fucking, exploring Louis’ submissive side through a series of varied constraints. Louis is game for it all, because nothing makes him feel freer than following Zayn’s rules.

Much love and many thanks as always to @lululawrence for running the delightfully excruciating @wordplayfics challenge every year and to all the readers and writers who make it worthwhile! 💖
