Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 33k | 25/25 Chapters

Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.

People thought they were already dating. Weird.

An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.

Welcome to Gilmore’s Hollow

Harry/Louis, 13 chapters, 60k words, complete

by Kassio (AO3, Tumblr)

Don’t call Louis an empty-nester. Yes, his only daughter is is about to start university, but he’s only 35, for God’s sake. He finally gets to look forward to life as a young-ish bachelor in… the sleepy small town of Gilmore’s Hollow. Okay, maybe that’s not terribly exciting, but he’ll get by with a little help from his friends, and plenty of pastries from Harry Styles’ bakery.

(A Gilmore Girls inspired Harry/Louis AU. This is what happens when you start watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix, then get sucked into 1D/Larry hell at roughly the same time. You don’t need to know anything about Gilmore Girls to read and enjoy this fic.)

The Moon's Never Seen Me Before

by lovingstheantidote (7k)

"Over the years, Harry’s found comfort in Louis in so many ways. But not like this before. Not with touches and quiet. They’re always both so loud and quick and playful. Sometimes they yell. But it's always light. And full of banter. This, right now, well this is sweet and soft and slow. The music and their bodies together are all he can see and feel and think. And Harry doesn’t want the song to end."

Five moments that changed everything. Or, five times Louis left Harry speechless. Plus one time, he very much didn’t. 

Or, a Harry/Louis Gilmore Girls AU

Fav Fic/Fic Rec 4/? : Battle Cry by Velvetoscar Word Count: 21k

They continue to sit next to each other, the space between them filled with sludgy, quiet nothingness. Which is good. Because Harry likes silence. It’s an excellent time for self-reflection.

While reflecting, Harry absolutely does not sniff the air in hopes to catch wind of Louis’ cologne. Or aftershave. Or soap, maybe. Shampoo will do. Hell, even a natural odour? He nearly falls out off the stool trying to get a whiff of something, anything.

That’s normal behaviour, though. Standard human nature. He’s just curious because he wants to know what stars smell like. Not that Louis is a star—Harry’s the star here. Louis is a mere space rock.

An incredibly alluring space rock. Or maybe he’s a black hole. Very detrimental and ominous and important?

Fuck, no. No, Louis is a star, isn’t he. Just look at him.

Shit. He’s so… He’s such a star. He’s a beautiful star. He’s literally slumped on a stool, feet spread, one of his legs bouncing downright obnoxiously, and Harry is still staring at him like he were the second coming.

Coming. Goodness.

He better knock that train of thought right on its head before things get indecent in here.

Sigh. Harry Styles is a victim.

Summary: Harry’s got a heart, a soul, and a band. And with that, obviously, comes a future paved in great success, right? So all he has to do is win the Battle of the Bands, right? Simple. What’s not so simple is the fact that Louis Tomlinson is his biggest competition. And also happens to be made of everything that Harry’s ever wanted. No… That’s not simple at all.

The man lays his hand on Harry’s forearm and Harry looks up as the stranger leans in. “I just wanted to say,” he whispers. “Can I cover your bill? I’m a big believer in paying it forward and I can see you’re struggling. It’s none of my business, of course, but I’d really like to help.”

OR the one where Harry is a struggling single parent who doesn’t have time for relationships and Louis is a generous stranger who is unlucky in love, until fate decides to step in and bring them together.

All Your Dreams Are On Their Way by @1diamondinthesun (1Diamondinthesun)

written for the @hlsummerexchange2019

Words: 73,685

Rating: Explicit

Summary: 

“This is a real place,” Louis said in wonder.

“Yes, it is.”

“We’re at a fancy resort on an island.”

“Correct,” Zayn said with a growing smile.

“We need to make a pact right now to never get swept up into a dance-off with Patrick Swayze a la Dirty Dancing,” Louis warned faintly, craning his neck up to look at the Welcome Pavilion. “And no summer romance, period.”

Zayn shrugged and nodded easily. “Deal. I mean, it’s not like we’re going to meet the loves of our lives on a random Caribbean island.”

Or, Louis Tomlinson is a grieving author with a deadline. Harry Styles is afraid to realize his potential. The Caribbean is the perfect place to dream bigger. Featuring cocktails, imposter syndrome, and a race-against-the-clock rescue under a starry St. Lucia sky.

A special thank you to my britpicker, @runaway-train-works for your valuable help! Thank you @pocketsunshineharry for your kindness, support, and beautiful mood board! Also thank you to the mods at @hlsummerexchange2019 for all you do. Lots of love xx Cait

༺ Ace of Hearts ༻

by @allwaswell16 for @sevenseasofharryandlouis

Louis Tomlinson, the alpha Duke of Yorkshire, had returned to England to stay now that he’d married and mated. But since his husband was also the omega he’d once held captive aboard his half-brother’s pirate ship, he held back from pushing Harry into parenthood. With the Ace of Spades now docked in London, Harry spent time with his friends from the crew and remained a bit oblivious to his alpha’s deepest desires. What he was aware of was his best friend’s hurt and his mother-in-law’s wish for more than friendship with her oldest friend. A sequel to Ace of Spades

“Well,” Louis says, searching for something to relieve this tension. “I think if a bloke gets kicked out of his stats exam for a knock knock joke, he deserves to hear the punchline, yeah?”

“Oh!” Harry says, beaming. “I forgot where we left off, what was it again?” He looks overjoyed to be exchanging a shit joke.

“Ah, you said knock knock, then I said who’s there, and then you said Noah,” Louis supplies helpfully. He hates that he’s actually curious about the rest of the joke. “So, Noah who?”

“Oh,” says Harry, in a much different tone, dragging out the syllable. He looks bashful now. Louis cannot keep up with this boy, it’s going to kill him. “Right, well.” He shuffles his feet. Fuck, what kind of knock knock joke gets a boy nervous? “Noah a good place we could get something to eat?”

[Or, Harry and Louis get kicked out of a statistics exam for passing a knock knock joke note, and subsequently fall in love. Harry’s a virgin, there’s a cat, a hot cocoa date, a lot of sex, even more knock knock jokes, and everything is lovely and happy.]

All Things Hidden by @anewyorklovely (68k) for @hldystopianficfest

“Do you think they’ll survive out there?” he nodded to the vast desert surrounding the garden. There was nothing out there, but now it was the angels’ and demons’ job to create the world. The original blank canvas laid before him in all its terrifying glory.

“Well, they might need some help,” he finally turned back in, but in events like the literal demolition of paradise, he assumed that he can take some time to himself. Louis looked the angel up and down from the curly brown hair blowing in the sweltering breeze to the tips of his white wings that grazed the ground, “I think you know what I mean,”

His face lit up, “you mean help them on Earth?”

“Well as long as the boss says it’s fine, those humans will definitely need help,” they watched Adam and Eve begin their trek to nowhere.

“That would be amazing,” a smile crossed his face slowly and it was nice to see in the midst of all the horrible things occurring. Louis continued to watch him as he stared off at the humans.

“I don’t think we’ve ever met before,” Louis waited until the angel turned to look at him, “I’m Louis,”

“Harry,” the angel bowed his head slightly in recognition.

“Well, Harry, we have a lot of work to do,” Louis looked back to the humans and Harry did the same.

or the Good Omens AU where Louis is a fallen angel who falls for an angel and has to save the world in the meantime.

Written for the @bhficfest

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | 58K | Chaptered | Complete

As he watched the best man walking to their table, coffee got stuck in Louis' throat and he had to make superhuman efforts not to spill it on Gemma's pretty dress. It couldn't be possible, that couldn't be her best man. It had to be a joke, a hoax, a fucking prank. Like a total idiot, Louis lifted his head to see if there were cameras hidden in the ceiling. The man walked softly and sat down next to Gemma, smiling. He kissed her cheek and finally looked at Louis. That's when he recognized him. His smile disappeared right away."Louis, let me introduce you to Harry, my brother and best man!" Gemma exclaimed, clapping her hands. "Harry, this is Louis, my wedding planner."

Louis, a nenowed wedding planner, has everything he needs to be happy : loyal friends, a boss that is a little more than just a boss, a job that he loves with all his heart. Tasked with the planning of Gemma and Michal's wedding, he doesn't except to come across the man who had left him five years earlier

Feels Like Coming Home 

by @phd-mama

The last thing Harry Styles expects when he’s hanging out at the Someday Cafe in Somerville one rainy October day is for his ex, Louis Tomlinson to walk through the door, but that’s exactly what happens. After a spectacularly ugly break-up three years prior, Harry hasn’t heard one word from Louis, and he’s moved on. Gotten over him. But having Louis back in his life, not to mention working at the restaurant where he’s a chef, isn’t easy, and the feelings that Harry thought he’d left turn out to be not so easily forgotten.

This is a story about love and the power of forgiveness, and how the hard choices we make define us, and change our lives.
