HL Fic Library 💙 Disabled Character Fics

Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.

✨ Take My Breath Away by @realitybetterthanfiction {E, 153k}

There is a prestigious school in the British Royal Navy classified as Premier Delta - or as it is known by its flyers, 1D. These select pilots are an elite set of Naval lieutenants who are trained in the skill of aggressive aerial combat. They are instruments of war, trained in times of peace. They are dogfighters, relentless and fearless in their mission to protect their beloved country. From their lofty vantage, they are always watching, waiting, and ready to lay it all on the line.

Lt. Harry Styles, call sign Sparrow, is a prodigy when it comes to flying. The owner of an unrivaled Naval pedigree, being a pilot was always written in the stars for Harry. With his trusty RIO, Lt. Niall Horan, Harry has made an unprecedented ascension in the ranks of the Naval aerial combat elite, and has been recruited to the esteemed Premier Delta flight school, carrying on his family’s legacy. What he finds there are unexpected friendships, perilous challenges, and something beyond what he ever thought possible. Because as his father had always told him, before the great Captain Styles went tragically missing in combat, you don’t fall in love with the sky, you fall in love with what keeps you on the ground.

✨ And What If I Were You by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom {E, 109k}

For Louis, will losing his sight give him the clarity to realise what is right in front of him?

For Harry, will losing the love of his life give him the strength to finally open his heart?

And can they find their way back, before they lose each other forever?

A story of love. A story of loss. A story of fighting for each other, no matter the odds.

✨ We're What's Right In This World by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite {E, 48k}

“Why did you talk like that in Brighton? If you weren’t planning on ever telling me?” Louis asked. “Is it because you think you’re going to die?”

“It’s war, Lou,” Harry said finally.

The words were a knife slipped between his ribs. Everything hurt and he was bleeding. He shifted up, his palms cradling Harry’s jaw, his lips against his boy’s. Not kissing, just resting there, so Louis could feel him. “Promise you’ll come back to me.”

Harry’s hands smoothed down the sides of Louis’ body. “You know I can’t do that. I’ll never lie to you.”

“Promise me. We’re going to have our cottage. And our dogs. And our breakfast in the garden where nothing grows because of the wind from the sea. Promise me.”

“I won’t.” Stubborn as always, his boy. “I’ll promise you, I’ll love you all my life. I’ll promise you, you’ll never leave my thoughts. I’ll promise you, you’re my forever and my always. But promising you something I can’t cheapens the things I can.”

Or the World War II AU where Harry goes off to fight and all Louis wants to do is be the boy who brings him home.

✨ Seeing Blind by zedi {E, 46k}

Louis finally turns his head in Liam’s direction, knows his face is showing the longing he’s been aching with ever since it took root in his chest. “What the fuck do I do, Liam? He wouldn’t want me like that, but I want-” his voice cracks, and he turns his face back downwards. “What do you do when you’re not perfect for the person who’s perfect for you?”

OR the one where Harry’s an independent omega who likes to have his fun and Louis is the blind alpha that changes Harry’s priorities.

✨ It Feels Different When You’re With Me by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 45k}

Harry fell in love with sign language as a kid. He never imagined the first love of his life would lead him straight to his second.

✨ fondre ton absence by @scrunchyharry {T, 41k}

Harry had never really given much thought to the future. He preferred to let life steer him forward and to follow in the footsteps of Louis, his best friend from as far as his memory went, his lover, his everything. Louis knew better than he did what was good for him.

It changed drastically when Louis was ripped away from him, drafted and sent to the front to fight in a war that Harry had always been sure would never reach him. Too young and too sickly to follow, Harry was left on his own for the first time in his life.

When he thought things could not possibly get worse, Louis went missing at the Somme and was declared dead. While everyone buried and mourned him, Harry never moved on. If Louis were dead, he was sure that he would know it. Their lives were too entwined, he would know if half of his heart had died.

Determined to find Louis, Harry did everything he could in his quest to be reunited with him, except prepare for the state Louis might be in.

He did not prepare for the harsh truth he would have to face: was love possible without memories?

✨ Bitter Ends Turn Sweet by @allwaswell16 {E, 30k}

It had been four years since Harry first heard the song his ex wrote about him and far longer since they broke up. He forgave Louis long ago, and now his life was focused on his career, his family, and especially his son, Max. But Louis was back in Chicago, after all this time, and he’s not an easy man to ignore.

Or a songfic inspired by the song Chicago

✨ my strange girl by curlockholmes / @dykesteddie {E, 30k}

Harry works in a cafe kitchen; making bagels, snarking with Zayn, and generally trying to exist as an autistic girl working in hospitality.

Louis is the captain of the local women's rugby team who takes a shine to her.

✨ To Give You a Hand to Hold by gettingaphdinlarry {NR, 26k}

When he spoke again, Harry’s voice was low. “Ever think of how many birthdays they don’t get?”

Louis avoided Harry’s eyes. “What do you mean?”

“Martinez was what, nineteen? Missed a good sixty of them.” Harry took the last of his cake and passed the plate to Louis. “Figure sixty missed birthdays each. Just on our side. How many is that?”

Louis used the edge of his fork to scrape frosting off the plate. “Never thought about it.”

“What would your shrink say?”

“‘Focus on the positive.’”

Harry ran a hand over his head and scratched the back of his neck. “How’s that working?”

Marine Louis Tomlinson is medically discharged when an IED explodes in Afghanistan. Months later, he's reunited Stateside with his Navy medic Harry Styles. The two of them shelter each other even as they refuse to admit they're in the throes of PTSD, until one night nearly destroys them.

✨ the dead things we carry by MediaWhore / @mediawhorefics {M, 25k}

September ‘49 He hasn’t seen him since that day in France, that horrible muddy day where for one terrifyingly long second, Louis really thought he was going to die. He winces with the phantom pain, the hand not holding his cane going to his stomach automatically, remembering the franticness, the tenderness, of Harry’s hands while Louis was bleeding out.

This is the man who saved Louis’ life.

For one second, Louis fears Harry won’t recognise him, but his eyes widen when he turns to his left and they meet Louis’. He takes a step forward, reaching for him with a shaky hand before stopping himself.

“Louis,’ Harry says with a shudder and Louis doesn’t think his name has ever carried more weight.

This is the only man Louis ever thought about kissing for real.

“Oh,” Mrs. Padley says, clearly taken aback. “You two know each other?”

There are some things people never fully come home from. Until, one day, if they’re lucky, home comes to them.

✨ Don't Act Like It's a Bad Thing to Fall in Love by nightwideopen / @themarshalstale {G, 23k}

Louis was born blind, completely blind, leaving him with nothing but the absolute blackness that his lack of vision produces.

Harry, on the other hand, is deaf. No sound can be registered by the two tiny ears his rowdy, chocolate curls obscure so well.

The first time Louis and Harry meet, it’s sort of an accident.

✨ the sanctity of patience by @scrunchyharry {T, 22k}

When young Lord Harry was chosen by King Louis of Bavaria to become his husband and prince consort, Harry thought all of his dreams had come through. His illusions came crashing down when he understood it meant living in isolation in the alpine castle of Neuschwanstein with a husband who turned out to be far from what he had hoped for.

His illusions vanished, Harry will have learn to appreciate what has and even, perhaps, fall in love with his imperfect husband and his castle.

✨ some evening in springtime by delsicle / @eeveedel {M, 20k}

Fresh out of veterinary school, Louis moves to a sleepy small town in Texas to take over the local animal clinic. But his new life is quickly interrupted by a middle aged rancher with a bad leg and a mysterious past, who really needs Louis's yoga skills.

✨ Blind Faith by @2tiedships2 {M, 18k}

“Harry?” Liam prompted.

“I’m blind,” Harry eventually said, trying his best to keep himself from crying.

Liam was silent for a few moments, before responding, “That’s not exactly news, H. You were blind when I met you a year and a half ago. Have you been in denial this whole time or something?”

“No, Liam,” Harry cut in. “This is different. I’m not legally blind like I used to say. It’s not just my night vision. The tunnel from my tunnel vision has closed. I’m fucking blind! I moved halfway around the world in the hope of finding my soulmate and it’s obviously not happening now. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Not even a soulmate is going to want to put up with a blind alpha."

✨ Our love is special because it's you and I (series) by sweetkisses {NR, 11k}

"So what are you studying?" Harry asks.

"Accounting." Louis says quietly.

"Sweet. I don't know much about accounting but I do know that it means you must be pretty damn smart." Harry says nodding his head.

"Thanks." Louis giggles out and Harry didn't know it was possible for him to be more beautiful. "What, um, what are you studying?"

"Law." Harry says and lays his legs out in front of him as he places his hands behind him and tilts his head towards the sun.

"You must be pretty smart if you're studying law." Louis mocks with a smirk. Harry didn't expect the next words to ever come out of his mouth but this boy just does things to him.

"Two smart people make a genius couple."

or the four times Harry sees the beautiful boy in the wheelchair

✨ Heart Eyes by @snowy38 {E, 10k}

He fidgeted nervously, long fingers pushed through his soft fringe, fingertips lingering on the thick curls that he felt formed there. He hoped his hair looked okay. He hoped he looked okay.

He hoped-

“Oi oi!” Niall’s loud, Irish voice cut into the small space along with the loud chatter of the party; the door assumingly opened. He swallowed.

“Fuck off!” A northern accent complained; the sound of bodies wrestling before it went quiet again; the clunk of the lock confirming to him that his suitor was now locked inside.

Harry knew the voice. He knew. And if he hadn’t known the voice, he would have known the smoky, sweet scent of the boy before him. Seventeen years old, friends since they were eight, and they’d never been pushed into the kissing cupboard together before.

✨ Deep Within The Mystery of Your Eyes (I Am Home At Last) by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey {M, 10k}

It's 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 he's glad that he doesn't 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 Louis' 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 they're soulmates.

✨ the pain never leaves, but neither do you. (series) by Anonymous {M, 10}

Harry has fibromyalgia and Niall is an idiot, leaving Louis to bump into Harry at 6am in a hospital corridor. It ends up as something much more wonderful than Harry ever could have expected, stood with a walker in his ratty PJs after a nasty flare-up, and he finally finds someone who can love him just the way he is.

✨ I Roll 'til I Change My Luck by larry_hiatus / @larry-hiatus {T, 8k}

Dating is hard enough when you're gay. When Louis reveals to his Tinder matches that he uses a wheelchair and has a service dog, things tend to get even more complicated. Too bad the guys on dating apps aren't as sweet and understanding as his best friend Harry...

✨ Struggle by @1diamondinthesun {NR, 3k}

Louis had accepted long ago that he would always be alone in the world. Yet he often wondered what defined us as people: the cards we’d been dealt, or how we played them to survive.

Or, Louis is living with a chronic illness and growing tired of going it alone.

I was tagged by @reminiscingintherain @haztobegood @allwaswell16 and @larryyouknow to post my last line. I just finished editing the first draft from my @onedirectionbigbang fic, so this is the last word of the actual fic.

"Deal."

Riveting, isn't it? 😂 There is actually a really funny line right before it, but I don't want to spoiler anyone, so I guess this is what you get.

I am going to tag @lightwoodsmagic @voulezloux @lululawrence @kingsofeverything @londonfoginacup and @jacaranda-bloom because I can't just tag one person.

please and thank youuuuu

Hi, anon! You're so very welcome!

Okay, so if you look at the pinned post, you can pretty much find everything organized there.

Under "Browse the catalog" you'll find this:

Search by HL fic tags here

And under "AU" you can click on "Kid Fics" and everything with that tag will come up.

Also, under "Links" you'll find this:

✤ Category Fic Recs

And that has all the main fic recs I've done monthly for this blog. One of the recs is indeed a kid fic rec...

✤ Kid Fics

Since this is one of the main recs, it's got a bunch on there and not just the few you'd find on one of the Mini Fic Recs. So let me poke around on there and find a few that I know have younger kids in them...

Enchanted by @brightgolden

“My close friends usually call me H,” Harry mumbles suddenly after Louis wraps up his story.

That’s unexpected. “Are you telling me I’m your close friend now?” Louis quips, squinting his eyes at Harry.

OR Where Louis finally meets his neighbour. After a few conversations, he begins to realise he is too weak to resist the charms of the new mother and his six month old daughter.

The Baby Whisperer by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom

Harry’s newborn baby is having trouble sleeping and nothing he does seems to work. Tired and alone and at his wits end, Harry is at a loss until a new neighbour arrives to turn his world upside down.

OR the one where being neighbourly takes on a whole new meaning.

Bitter Ends Turn Sweet by @allwaswell16

Or a songfic inspired by the song Chicago

Chasing, Searching, Dreaming by @parmahamlarrie

Everyone is chasing, searching, dreaming of their soulmate.

Harry has known who his soulmate is since he was twenty years old, and ever since, he has been waiting for Louis to be ready for him. The unexpected passing of Louis' mum, and the fact that now he is the guardian of his twin two-year-old little siblings, just means that Harry is going to have to wait a bit longer.

A soulmate AU full of cute kids, house building, therapy, and a lot of dreaming.

Wow, I haven’t done this in a long, long time. But I’m actually working on one story and looking into my doc, the last line is worth sharing, so thank you @berzerkshires the tag. Hopefully one day, this rollercoaster will be finished. So, here you go.

Feeling the jitters, Louis quickly turned his head to Zayn who mouthed words “You’re welcome” and finished off his drink.

Share yours, @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @haztobegood @boosbabycakes28 @jaerie @lululawrence @sadaveniren @louandhazaf @greenblueish @fallinglikethis @theirgoldenfool @parmahamlarrie @beanno28 @mercurial-madhouse @zannithinks @louieshalo @jacaranda-bloom or anybody else who is writing and wants to share!

Happy writing everyone!

hi!!! can you recommend some fics where one of them is a hybrid please? thank you 🥰🥰

Hi! You're very welcome! Here are some that fit what you're looking for!

Harry Styles Plays with Kittens While Answering Questions by @sadaveniren

“Are those the kittens? Can I see them now or do we need to wait for me to be on camera?”

“You can see them beforehand. We have them in a little playpen,” Louis stepped in, finding his voice somehow.

He lost it as soon as Harry looked at him and it made Louis swallow. “That would be great yeah. Louis, right?”

Louis nodded and took Harry’s hand to shake it. His ears ducked just a bit, because he was so nervous and he knew he shouldn’t be. There was nothing truly different about Harry than any of the other celebrities Louis had met with, but then there was one hundred percent a difference. Harry was a cat hybrid like Louis and that… that meant a lot. For Louis personally.

aka Louis runs a Youtube channel and Harry is his celebrity guest

of honey by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci

Harry wants what most hybrids don’t have. Love, for instance. Companionship. Understanding. And sex so good it hurts.

If You're Out There (I'll Find You Somehow) by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom

Harry looks so intensely into Louis’ eyes it’s as though he’s reaching in and touching his very soul. “I never thought… I never… I’ve been searching for so long, Louis, but I never gave up. I couldn’t stop, wouldn’t stop trying,” Harry says, bottom lip trembling as he strokes the backs of Louis’ knuckles. “I just knew that if you were out there, I’d find you somehow.”

OR the story of how one man’s love changed the world.

Tagged by @haztobegood and @nouies to post the last line I wrote (and @louisandtheaquarian lately to share a snippet!) – thank you <3 This spurred me to first spend way too long making this graphic, and then actually start putting down words for the When Harry Met Sally AU that I've been thinking about, so I'm just going to share the first paragraph:

Harry is not a nervous driver. She is a cautious driver. So when she spots her friend Amanda on the sidewalk by the quad, she puts her blinker on, checks her mirrors, and slowly pulls over, coming to a stop just in front of Amanda and her girlfriend Louis, who Harry’s never met but is about to spend the most pivotal 12 hours of her life with.

!!! I think I figured out how to make a super heteronormative rom com really gay, so I'm excited

I know it's long, so I'll just tag as many writers as I can think of without counting: @crinkle-eyed-boo @uhoh-but-yeah-alright @allwaswell16 @homosociallyyours @helloamhere @louandhazaf @kingsofeverything @jacaranda-bloom @lightwoodsmagic @beelou @littleroverlouis @absoloutenonsense @neondiamond @parmahamlarrie @berzerkshires @hellolovers13

🌟 Porn To Be Wild by @fallinglikethis

(E, 5k, musician Harry) As Louis Tomlinson writes his One Direction fanfiction in a quiet, isolated corner of the local library, the last thing he expects is for the subject of his story to interrupt him in the middle of a sex scene. But that’s exactly what happens.

🌟 (your smile is) on every face by @justanothershadeofblue

(T, 5k, musician Louis) Harry streams the whole thing, too overwhelmed to sing along, clutching his phone above his head as Louis whips the fans into a frenzy, playing both sides of the stage before staking a claim to the middle.

Fics by the Numbers

I was tagged to do this months ago( and then it sat in my drafts for a while. Eventually I figured I might as well wait and see what the results were at the end of the year, so here we are! Thanks to @lunarheslwt @jacaranda-bloom @lululawrence and anyone else that tagged me earlier that I may have missed!

Most hits: He said, “You're Such a Crybaby” (21,767)

This was my first longer fic and my first real piece with BDSM. Lots of it lol. I wrote it for bottom Harry fest, and I love how it came out!

Second most kudos: I Roll 'til I Change My Luck (521)

I’m so proud of this one, and it’s very personal to me. I wanted to write a fic including a service dog and provide some info about American laws and what it’s like to be a handler. I am happy to have been able to achieve that goal with this work, and I love that so many people have appreciated it!

Third most comment threads: I'm Asking You Please, Don't Talk Dirty to Me (22)

This was for my first fest ever and my first omegaverse fic ever! I have mixed feelings about it because I feel like my writing has improved so much since then, so I’m lowkey like 🥴 when I read it. But others seem to like it, and I appreciate them!

Fourth most bookmarks: Is It Okay? (167)

This is another one that’s in kind of like ehhhhh about the quality lol. It’s currently my oldest public fic on AO3, and I had a fun time playing with feminine Harry and Louis’ reactions to that.

Fifth most words: It’s Alright If It Makes You Feel Alive (13,125)

I didn’t realize how many fics I have over 10k words lol. I really liked this one. It was my first time really writing Zouis, and I loved being able to give some vulnerable Louis with Zayn taking care of him!

Least words: she bit someone (666)

Like a lot of people who have done this challenge, my shortest fics were for the Halloween fest where the works had to be exactly 666 words long. The most recent fic was my vampire daughter fic, the first time I ever wrote Larry having kids!

This was fun! I’m sure people have done this a while ago, but if anybody wants to, feel free to say that I tagged you!
