My kind of love -Keegan P. Russ

Based on a request:

Just a thought : Keegan strikes me as the guy who would hold wife! reader close to him when they sleep in their bed. Or he'd carry her when he finds her asleep on the couch. ---- F!Reader, fluff/romance, established!relationship, boyfriend!keegan, cuddling ----

A/N: thanking Bon Iver and Niall Horan for this fluff🙏

It's four in the morning, Keegan comes home after nearly ten months of deployment, his duffle bag placed on the floor. Steps soft to not wake you up, after all, he is meant to surprise you with his early arrival. As he was about to go and check on the dog, who slept by the sofa, he noticed a blanket, your blanket. He approaches you, his gaze softens the second he watches his beautiful sleeping. You look so peaceful, so calm and in this moment when things for months went so wrong, this view is all he can adore.

"My love, I'm home," Keegan whispers, in his arms, he carries you to bed. They say people have a certain amount of luck and you are proof of that. Maybe out there in the cruel world, he doesn't have much luck but in this place, a warm, cosy and safe place he calls home, he knows luck is there. No one can say they are lucky because they don't have you and he does. A million men can say your name, a million more can watch you but just one gets to come home to you. One man in a sea of billions gets to kiss you, to listen to your ramble about crazy theories, to listen to you hum a tune and to love you and be loved back.

That man is him and in this precise moment, he knows why he proudly waited day and night to hide that ring in his pocket. If he wasn't a romantic, he would propose to you right here right now but he wants that moment to be magical because his precious girl deserves it. "Keegan, it's you," your voice so soft. Fuck, why must you make his heart melt like this? Why must you- damn you! Why do you love him? Why do you see what others don't and why must you make him blush just from the sound of your voice? Couldn't you be any less cruel to his weakened heart? Oh but he loves it, he loves that voice, that touch and stare, he loves the kisses and the 'Did your job go well? Are you hurt? Did you miss me?' he loves it all.

"Of course, it's me, darling," he sets you down on the bed and covers you with the sheets. "I'll be back," his lips touched your soft skin before leaving to take a short shower. You lay in bed, not being able to sleep without him anymore, you wait for him. Once he snuggles to you, you can feel his fresh skin, how his embrace wraps you with love and with care. "Did everything go to plan?" you ask as you nuzzle your face on his chest, a low chuckle escapes his lips as he brushes your hair. "It did, which is surprising," he kisses the top of your head and drapes his leg over yours.

In a warm bed, you and he lie, legs intertwined like they are the perfect match. Your back to his chest, soft breathing filling the room. As you close your eyes, he finds himself admiring your beauty from his angle. His arm wrapped around your waist, keeping you close for the rest of the night as the other arm caresses your head. His fingers brush through the hair, and slowly, they make their way to your forehead, where he slowly catches himself falling asleep.

Until morning and maybe even after being awake, he keeps you in his hold and under those warm bed sheets. "I love you to the moon and back- no, let's keep going beyond the moon," he whispers as he keeps holding you close. If only he dared to propose already and make you his missus. But only the brave wait for the exact right moment.

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.

hi! i was reading this fic a long time ago. louis plays football, niall is a fan, then niall drag harry to come see louis' match. harry ends up getting too drunk and thirsting over louis, the next day he was going viral. can you pls help me find the fic?

Sure, love. It’s sadly been deleted, but here you go:

Ain’t That A Kick In The Head! by keysmashlesbian, wreckingtomlinson (T, 22K)

“Well.” Niall unlocks his phone. “It wasn’t getting the traction I wanted on Snapchat. So… I tweeted it.”

What.

“You tweeted it,” Harry states, nearing a state of brain dead. “To your ten thousand followers.”

Niall nods, handing Harry the phone. “You’re a meme, Harry.”

“I’m a what?”

“A meme. It’s like an internet—”

“I know what a fucking meme is, Niall! Why did you make me into one?”

Niall has the fucking balls to cackle at that while Harry looks at the mess his former friend created. Videos of him screaming at Tomlinson about Tide Pods and his ass are being quoted and combined with memes to a create a level of memeception Harry has never seen before. That isn’t even including the thousands of tweets of him falling up the stairs remixed with random Top 40 songs.

In which Harry’s a disaster gay who doesn’t know shit about soccer, Liam drinks too many blue raspberry Coolattas, Niall knows everyone, Zayn looks dead, and Louis is Not Happy about sharing his breakout moment with “Drunk Hawaiian Guy.”

my fav fics masterlist part 1 (A-M)

i’m currently procrastinating learning autocad & editing youtube videos, so here i am. this post is long bc of the format of the summaries - sorry about that, wanted to keep them formatted how the authors had them! anyway, this is all my fav fics, alphabetically. this is part 1. part 2 will be coming...at some point. grab a snack, grab a beverage & settle in friends. :)

as small as possible by mickey_d

“Harry is a rather shy omega who's quite convinced everyone (except his best friends) laughs at him behind his back and sometimes to his face.

Louis is a confident alpha who is taken with his best artist's friend.”

a million roses (bathed in rock n’ roll) by deLILAh

“au. harry sings in smoky dive bars; louis misses his flight home. they go to coney island in the morning.

(aka - harry is lana del rey, and louis makes him a star.)”

adore you by @isthatyoularry

““We invited our new acquaintances from uptown. You’ve simply got to meet their oldest son!” said his mother with a flourish, and suddenly it became abundantly clear as to why his parents had so adamantly demanded he join them in Deansville for the entirety of the summer.

Against his wishes, Harry spends the holidays at his family’s summer estate, and is reluctantly pulled into a courtship he didn’t ask for. Harry doesn’t want to get married, but Louis does. They don’t fit, but then again they really, really do.

Vaguely set in the 1920’s. Headpieces, jazz, fashionable canes, and flapper dresses, and that.”

are you taking clients? by @jaerie

“Escaping had been the hardest thing Harry had ever done. They'd stolen his child and nearly stolen his life. Being homeless and pregnant gave Harry few options. It's a last resort to let men fetishize his body, but the luxury of choice is something Harry doesn't have.”

and the truth shall set you free... by @jaerie

“Betism: A religion based on the belief that the beta gender has been chosen by God to protect and defend the purity and dignity of the human race by resisting and condemning the lustful ways and flawed biology of the alpha and omega”

ain’t that a kick in the head! by @karasunonolibero and keysmashlesbian

““Well.” Niall unlocks his phone. “It wasn’t getting the traction I wanted on Snapchat. So…I tweeted it.”

What.

“You tweeted it,” Harry states, nearing a state of brain dead. “To your ten thousand followers.”

Niall nods, handing Harry the phone. “You’re a meme, Harry.”

“I’m a what?”

“A meme. It’s like an internet—”

“I know what a fucking meme is, Niall! Why did you make me into one?”

atlas at last by louisandthealien

“He doesn’t know what he had been expecting out of the road trip itself besides burping contests and too much shitty gas station food with Oli and Stan, but in the brief moment before Harry ambles up his driveway, Louis idly wonders if this is about to become some sort of Gay Coming of Age story.

Maine to California in ten days. In which Zayn’s an open-shirt hippie they meet somewhere in Ohio, Liam’s the pastor’s son running away from home, and Niall’s the number they call on the bathroom wall.

It’s 1978. Harry and Louis are just trying to get to San Fran in time for the Queen concert.”

all i want is to fall with you by @2tiedships2

“The pair looked at each other for a few moments before Harry moved forward and gathered Louis in an unexpected hug.

It was nice, but why the fuck was an unknown alpha hugging him? Maybe an even better question would be why did Louis feel so secure in this stranger's arms?

Harry quickly let go and Louis felt something pull at him.

"Sorry," Harry said, holding his hands up in surrender. "Shit, um, that just seemed a natural response for some reason. I’m so sorry."

Louis smiled up at the alpha. "It's okay. Thanks again, Harry."

"You're welcome. I know it's horrible weather, and less than optimal circumstances, but this was a brilliant meet-cute."

What the fuck was a meet-cute?

Or the weekend ski trip where omega Louis discovers that he can’t change a tire and his skiing skills are debatable but still manages to find the alpha who will change his life.”

ask and i’ll obey by orphan account

““So, tell me what you want?” The younger boy demanded, and Louis’ mind filled with inappropriate images of Harry. Everything to do with Harry.

“I…” He couldn’t think. Could barely breathe, and his dick was so fucking hard in his track pants he didn’t know why Harry wasn’t pointing it out.

“You…have to do whatever I say for a whole day.” Louis blurted out.

“Deal.” Harry said without missing a beat, his green eyes shining like the light in The Great Gatsby. His easy agreement had Louis groaning, because Harry already did whatever Louis told him to do.

Or, the one where Harry and Louis challenge each other not to get off to see who will break first.”

and that’s the tea by @2tiedships2

“I’d like an Earl Grey with milk and sugar, please.

Louis had the phrase memorized, even though it had disappeared off its place on his upper arm over thirteen years ago now.

At fourteen he didn’t understand. Soulmarks don’t just disappear. Not unless…

Unless one of them dies.

Or, the one where Louis loses his soulmate before even getting the chance to meet them, and he is in no way prepared for the kind of distraction his new friend Harry proves to be.”

a cauldron of love by @zimriya

““Oh for Merlin’s sake, yes,” Niall interrupts finally. “Harry’s been in love with Louis Tomlinson since that time in second year when he went and accidentally peed on him.”

Harry turns to face him, horrified. “Niall!” he squeaks out. “You promised you wouldn’t tell anyone about that!”

Niall just shrugs and wipes his mouth with a napkin. “Aw, come off it, Hazza, was it really a secret?” When Harry doesn’t say anything, he pauses and looks up. “It was?” he says. “Ah, bollocks.””

a fully armed battalion (to remind you of my love) by @mediawhorefics

““He was flirting with you by the way,” Niall says casually once he’s finished saying goodbye to Louis and he’s joined Harry outside.

“No he wasn’t,” Harry replies automatically, feeling his heart clench at the thought. Was he?

Niall simply raises a mocking eyebrow in response before wrapping his scarf twice around his neck.

“Not that it matters!” Harry says quickly, eyes widening. “I wouldn’t care even if he did because he’s awful and the worst.”

Everyone at Hogwarts knows that Professor Styles and Professor Tomlinson absolutely despise each other. It's too bad that they're in love.”

all your mates are here by @londonfoginacup

“"The pack is... It's folding, Harry."

Like every werewolf does when they get to a new town, Harry joined one of the many local packs when he started university. Now, three years into his program, he's hit with the news that his pack is giving up, going their separate ways. In the wake of the holidays, the three single wolves from the Majestic pack are pointed in the direction of a new pack to join; one that's got struggles of its own.

A new pack, a new house, and two new roommates with personal space issues... Plus exams, of course.

Happy Christmas, here's to many more.”

a cage for every ugly spirit by @povverbottoms

“First-year uni student Harry gives up orgasms for Lent, featuring a cock cage and weekly prostate milkings on Sundays. Warning for religion kink. Written for the 1D Novena Ficathon.”

at last, at last by @suspendrs

““Come with us,” Tommo says, stopping at the other end of the gymnasium, near the doors. “Don’t let them make you suffer any longer. Come with us, and be human.”

Before Harry has even finished thinking it through, he’s on his feet, gaining the attention of every single person in the gymnasium. What has he got to lose, anyway?

Or, Harry is born into a cult in a post-apocalyptic world, and Louis is the leader of the rebel group tasked with the mission of shutting them down. Together, they make a rather effective team.”

all we have by colourexplosion

“He looks at the person who’s asked him a question and then immediately wishes he hadn’t. He’s beautiful, is the thing, and Harry’s met him before.

“No, sorry,” he says, shaking his head, averting his eyes. It’s an old habit, one he’s gotten better about resisting, but he supposes seeing Louis Tomlinson out in the wild transports him right back to youth club.

“Ah, s’fine really,” Louis says, instead of just walking away like a normal person, “Pretty boy like you shouldn’t be smoking anyway, yeah?”

Harry’s cheeks flood with heat before he can stop it, and he squeezes his eyes shut. Of course. Of course Louis Tomlinson — the boy who basically made Harry realize he’s gay — thinks he’s cute now. Ten years after the fact, and much too late for it to do any good at all. Or, a 'Grown' au”

a million one, a million two (a million more will never do) by @littlelostpieces

“While Harry doesn’t want to spend his final year at Wilshire Academy sharing his space with yet another idiot roommate, he figures he could have ended up with a lot worse than Niall. As the school’s newest scholarship student, Niall provides a fresh perspective on Harry’s privileged life, as well as a grounding presence when Harry’s other friends, Liam and Zayn, are acting like lunatics. Most importantly, though, Niall introduces him to Louis, a cynical townie with zero interest in spending his time around entitled boarding school kids. Convincing Louis that he’s more than a trust fund and a charming smile won’t be easy, but Harry’s never been one to back down from a challenge.

An AU loosely inspired by the short-lived WB drama, Young Americans, and the Gotta Be You music video.”

a life that we share (i owe it all to you) by @all-these-larrythings

“When Harry's son came home from school crying he didn't think things could get any worse. Lucky for them, things were just about to change for the best.

Harry's son get bullied until Louis' son shows up :)”

all the right moves by @cherrystreet

“This is the third game in a row that Harry has been distracted by the noisy boy in the stands, five rows back.

There’s really no reason that he should feel compelled to stare into the audience as frequently as he is, but he can’t help it. This boy is a nuisance. And he’s loud. Even from basketball court with nine other players running by him, shoes squeaking on the shiny hardwood floor, and thousands of cheering college students, Harry can hear this boy nearly shrieking, his laugh more like a cackle than anything.

It’s seriously obnoxious.”

boys fall like dominoes by orphan account

“Harry slips into an early heat while riding the tube. Naturally, that's when he meets Louis.”

baby we could be enough (i’ll make this feel like home) by orphan account

““Did you clean the table?” Harry asks Louis once Rose is done speaking, now occupied with trying to see if she can reach over and touch Harry’s hair from where she’s sat. At Louis’ nod, Harry frowns. “You didn’t have to do that. You’re my guests here, I could’ve dealt with it later.”

Louis just smiles easily, though, adjusting Rose on his lap so that she’s facing Harry better. She manages to tug on a loose wave of hair, and she makes a noise of triumph that both Louis and Harry smile at.

“I don’t mind,” Louis murmurs to Harry, even though he’s looking at Rose. “This one here seemed very excited to talk to you.”

And, okay. Harry can’t help but think of how domestic this feels, all of a sudden.

[harry is a photographer who's trying to find his place. louis is a single father with a smile that feels like home.]”

but if you close your eyes does it almost feel like by pukeandcry

“Marcel’s not sure what the draw is for Louis, but he finds himself looking forward to it, glancing out into the hall several times an hour to see if Louis might be walking by. Louis is just -- he’s magnetic, like he’s got his own gravitational field around him, and it makes Marcel’s stomach jump around nervously just being around him, but it only takes him a few days to realize how much he likes that feeling, the hitch in his chest he gets when he spots Louis across the office and smiles at him.”

burn this flame by @rainbowninja

““You’ve played keeper before?” Tomlinson asks suspiciously, hands on his waist.“

Er, yeah,” Harry coughs. “Loads of times.”

“Alright Popstar, if you’re sure,” Tomlinson tells him with a shrug, his professional expression already curling into laughter. Harry tries not to read too much into it. After all, how hard can goalkeeping really be?

When Harry gets invited to play in a celebrity charity match with Louis Tomlinson, Manchester United's star player, he's determined to impress him with brilliant football skills. The only flaw in Harry's otherwise foolproof plan? He has absolutely no football skills, brilliant or otherwise.”

but why wonder, why wonder? by @100percentsassy

“The one where Marcel Styles has improbably landed a job in the fashion industry, and Louis Tomlinson is the actor-turned-lingerie-designer he’s been infatuated with for years.”

babydoll blues by @thedevilinmybrain

“Louis is a high profile, filthy rich label executive who has the world at his feet - a music god.. Harry is the sugar baby trying to make a name for himself singing in shady bars and hanging off the arm of Louis' biggest rival. What Louis wants, Louis gets. But what if the game gets too hot and hits a little too close to the heart?”

back to seventeen by @ireallysawanangel

“As a first grade teacher in a small town in Illinois, Harry’s life is pretty simple. He loves his job, is close with his family, and has a best friend he would go to the ends of the earth for. When a new soccer coach starts at the local high school, things start to get a bit more exciting for Harry. Because that coach just happens to be Louis Tomlinson; the guy Harry was unrequitedly in love with in high school.

Or the one where Louis moves back to his hometown and Harry realizes he’s still not over his high school crush.”

business or pleasure by therogueskimo

“Boss: Know why I called you in here? Employee: Because I accidentally sent you a dick pic. Boss: (stops pouring 2 glasses of wine) Accidentally?

or the one where Harry sends a snapchat to the wrong person, who just so happens to be Louis Tomlinson, aka his boss.”

baby shut your mouth and turn me inside out by ballsdeepinjesus

“And it’s good. It’s really, really good. Except they haven’t really talked about any of this and Harry can’t muster the courage to bring it up. Niall’s words at the bar run through his mind nearly every day. Fresh meat. Is this a thing Louis does, then? Find a toy to play with for awhile until he gets bored?

He knows Louis, though. He’s been friends with him for months now and he knows that he’s not just some heartless asshole. But he doesn’t know if this is just a nice convenient hook-up to him or something more, like how Harry feels. And he knows he should ask, but he’s not brave enough. Not brave enough to possibly ruin everything when Harry can take what he’s being offered without complaints.

[harry and louis meet in a mcdonalds. louis is everything harry needs.]”

be my little good luck charm by @100percentsassy

“In which Harry is a promising amateur golfer making his debut at the PGA Championship, and Louis is a Sky Sports anchor who would really rather be commentating on footie.

The other boys are around too: caddy!Niall provides victory pints, Liam is Louis's Very Serious co-anchor, and poor Zayn just gets his face drawn on.”

baby thinking of you keeps me up all night by ballsdeepinjesus

“Louis sputters in response, shaking his head wildly. Harry moves closer, placing his hand on Louis’ chest and trailing it up towards his neck to curve around. “I am younger than you. Bet you like that. Think you can push me around.”

Louis fishmouths, glaring at Harry who reminds him suspiciously of a shark at the moment. He smells blood in the water.

“Is that what this is about, Louis?” Harry asks. He leans in and fits his mouth against Louis’ earlobe, huffing hot breaths into his ear. “You want to fuck me, don’t you?”

[harry is a 19 y/o singer and louis is a 29 y/o actor with no love for teenage popstars.]”

but when we kiss... by @indiaalphawhiskey

“Louis only nodded, still smiling. “Right, okay. As much fun as this has been, I really doubt the lovely heated seating of my car will dull our banter. Or...” he dragged out the ‘r’, eyes mischievous. “Are you really going to let a…” he assessed Harry. “Twenty? Twenty year gap,” he confirmed. “Be the reason you get hypothermia? Is that really the hill you want to freeze on, Mr. Principled?”

–– Or, while Harry and Louis adore the chase, they find they adore each other much, much more.”

boom, boom, don’t you wanna go by anonymous

“It doesn't take much to convince Harry to participate in Lambda Sig's annual ceremony for graduating seniors. She's hooked up with a few of the brothers already anyway, as lackluster as they were. She has to have her legs and bare bottom half on display for the rest of the brothers in the senior class to see, but she's always kind of liked being played with and definitely likes being on display. She's graduating in a few weeks anyway. What's the worst that can happen?

She doesn't expect contestant number fifteen to blow her mind in the first round. He doesn't let up.”

caught in your gravity by @lululawrence

“It felt like the blood froze in Harry’s veins even as he got a bit lightheaded. He hadn’t even made it two practices, only one of which he was remotely in charge of, without giving it all away and now he and Liam were both absolutely fucked.

“Shit,” Harry breathed out. “Who all have you told? Does everyone know? I thought I covered it better than that…”

“No, no,” Louis said quickly. "They’ll figure it out soon enough, though, because they’ll get used to you changing things up, but you’re only going to trip over your so called Americanisms for so long before they realize it’s because you don’t actually know fuck all about football.”

Harry sighed. “Yeah. I figured. I just need to bullshit for long enough to allow Liam to get the situation figured out from his end.”

“Right, which brings me to my entire point. I think we can find a mutually beneficial arrangement with all of this.” Louis leaned forward. “You need to learn the ins and outs of the sport incredibly fast. I can help you with that.”

“What do you want in exchange?”

Or, an AU inspired by a 30 second trailer of Ted Lasso that doesn't actually have much in common with the show at all.”

counting the steps between us by zarah5

“AU. So, yeah. That year abroad helped Harry establish that he is in love with his best friend. Now, if Louis would stop treating him like a little brother, that would be awesome. (Additional ingredients: a collapsing tree house, a lot of pining, the other three boys as Louis' new best mates from university, and a camping trip. Serve hot.)”

come in and change my life by @lightwoodsmagic

“He’d had the same neighbours since he’d moved into the building, a lovely, wealthy couple in their late sixties who had always invited him around for tea on Sundays. Martha had dropped off homemade biscuits the day he’d moved in, so Harry figured he may as well repeat the sentiment. He could hear someone getting closer to the door just as a flush ran through his body; oh fuck. His heat was close, too close to be knocking on a potentially unknown alpha’s door, but it was too late. The door swung open, and Harry’s mouth dropped. He’d never been overly interested in football, couldn’t find the fascination in watching men run around after a ball for hours aside from their uniforms, but he knew who this was. Louis Tomlinson, alpha, captain of Manchester United, star in a number of Harry’s heat addled fantasies, was his new next-door neighbour.

Or, Harry and Louis become friends when Harry looks after Louis' cat during away games, until one night at a party changes everything between them. It's just a shame Louis' going to be away for the FIFA World Cup for three months.”

cookie jar by fanshae

“Louis catches Harry with his hand in the metaphorical cookie jar and stays to watch.”

counterculture by @sadaveniren

“It all culminated to this: Harry in the middle of a crowded basement, music blasting from the live show on the far side, shirtless amongst alphas and omegas who all weren’t covering their scents. He took a deep breath of the heavy air and he felt alive.”

convalescent boy (with a heart of gold) by @londonfoginacup

“Just as the professor beginning to mess with his powerpoint, the door at the back of the balcony creaks open and Marcel looks back to notice Louis Tomlinson, The Louis Tomlinson, slip in and take a seat in the very back.

Marcel is starting to feel like his life is a comedy. Only yesterday was Louis Tomlinson on his floor at the library. Now he’s in his seminar. What is happening?

“Hey Mars,” Nick says, not particularly quietly as he leans over. “Isn’t that your crush?”

Marcel smacks him.

Or, the one where Marcel is a nerd who loves to learn but loves to go to theatre productions even more, and may or may not have a long time crush on the lead in most of the plays, Louis Tomlinson. The same Louis Tomlinson who seems to be appearing wherever Marcel is. Funny, that.”

drape me in your warmth by @husbandau

“TMH era fic where Harry is an omega whose heat comes a little earlier than expected and really, who is Louis to deny him his knot?”

deep in my heart i know there’s only you by ballsdeepinjesus

“"Will you do it?” Harry whispers. Louis has to lean closer just to hear him. He furrows his brows and shakes his head, not knowing what Harry means. “Would you donate for me?”

Louis is dumbfounded. “I’m sorry, I thought you just asked if I’d donate my sperm. Can you repeat yourself?”

[harry and louis are best friends who engage in some platonic baby-making. very platonic.]”

don’t move in (don’t move out) by @2tiedships2

“Only one more week and Harry would be living under the same roof. Gone would be Liam’s alpha scent, quickly replaced with Harry’s. All Harry. Louis was going to fucking die. You��d think Louis would be used to it by now, that Harry’s scent would simply fade into the background like Liam’s did. But Louis had a feeling he would simultaneously be living in Heaven and Hell once Harry moved in.

Louis was pulled out of his thoughts when Niall smacked him on the back of his head.

"The fuck was that for?" Louis asked, rubbing his head and looking at the bloody Irishman he called his other best friend.

"You were basically drooling, mate,” Niall said. “That was a courtesy smack to keep your daydreaming from seeping into your pheromones."”

do you like my sweater? by @icanhazzalou

““Look, for a Sadie Hawkins dance the omegas are supposed to invite the alphas instead of the other way around.”

Niall and Liam shared a look. “That… sounds like the sort of thing you would usually be all over, Lou,” Liam said, face pinched in confusion. Niall nodded his agreement.

“Yeah, if omegas were hosting it,” Louis replied sourly. “It’s one thing if we decide that we’re going to ask the alphas for a change. It’s insulting that they think we need their permission.”

When Harry's alpha fraternity decides to host a Sadie Hawkins dance, outspoken omega Louis has a thing or two to say about it.”

“Louis is the captain of the swim team, Harry is in love with him a bit, and there's this ritual before Big Meets. Everything goes fine. alternative summary: a suspicious lack of swimming for a story involving a swim team.”

dom louis by @comebackassholes (summary is from first work in the series)

“Dear Mr. Louis, Hello. I’m Harry. I got your contact from a good friend of mine and was wondering if I can get your services. My 30th birthday is coming up and all I’ve ever wanted is to get spanked, maybe more? If you’re interested, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you. Sincerely, Harry Marcel reads over the words. He guesses there isn’t a much better way to ask for what he needs. He almost changes the name again but decides Harry is fine. It’s generic and nothing that can be traced to him. At least he doesn’t think so. Okay, he’s overthinking again so he clicks the send button before he can talk himself out of it. His heart races as soon as he does. He almost wants to take it back, figure out a way to undo it, but he takes a big gulp of his wine to calm down. It’s fine. This is fine. He can do this.”

do not falter (there’s a star ahead) by @londonfoginacup

“It's Christmas Eve, and every single one of Louis' family members are crowded inside his little flat. Really, what more could he ask for on his birthday?

The present he never knew he wanted - in the form of an omega from his past - might just make this his most memorable Christmas.”

enjoy the ride by @2tiedships2

““Stop sulking and get up. I have a proposition to make.”

“Niall?” Louis questioned. “Do you think I should put glow in the dark stars on my ceiling?”

He looked over and found Niall giving him an unimpressed look.

“So, no?” Louis asked. “No stars?”

“We’re going on a road trip,” Niall stated.

Louis looked back at his starless ceiling and waved farewell to Niall. “Cool. Have fun!”

“No, you idiot.” Niall let out a frustrated sigh. “You, me, Liam, and Harry.”

Louis glanced over to Niall and back to the ceiling. “Who’s Harry?”

Or the one where Louis, an omega more than tired of being treated as lesser than alphas, is forced on a road trip by his beta besties only to meet Harry who might just be the alpha he never knew he wanted.”

“Harry’s sister has a baby. When he goes to meet her, he finds more than one new love of his life at the hospital.”

everywhere and nowhere by @2tiedships2

“Niall took a seat and said, "Apparently Louis' downstairs neighbor is a fan of giving Louis creepy gifts. Maybe I should go introduce myself and tell him that Louis actually prefers food."

"What has he given you?" Liam asked.

Louis shrugged as it were no big deal. "There was a rabbit's foot keychain on the door a little after he left from introducing himself and there was a small teddy bear sitting by my door tonight. Obviously I can't prove it's from him, but they seem to have his scent. I could be wrong though."

"Wow," Liam said, looking deep in thought. "That's old school."

"What's old school?" Niall asked. "Giving creepy gifts?"

"I've never known an alpha to do it, to be honest, but he's courting you."

Louis couldn't contain his look of disbelief directed at Liam. "He's courting me. Like some sort of romantic shit they'd do in the 1800s or something?"”

from eight until late, i think about you by supernope

“After finding out that his University of Brighton roommate has a YouTube channel, Harry starts up his own channel, on which he posts videos of himself doing weekly challenges. He strikes up a friendship with Louis, a popular youtuber in London, that starts in the comments on their videos and progresses to texting, skyping, and talking about each other in their own videos far too often. They fall for each other long-distance, but put off meeting face-to-face as long as possible, too nervous that they'll screw it all up.

Involves a bunch of YouTube challenges (AKA excuses for Harry to get naked), some awkward snapchat mishaps, and a whole lot of pining.”

“Harry is a single father, pretending to be a beta after his alpha mated him and left him. He’s getting by just fine raising the twins when Louis walks into his bakery. Too bad him and Louis will never be a thing.”

“"Now that he’s actually gone and done it, there seems to be no way of going back - no rinse and repeat, no ctrl+alt+del, no abort button, no help to be had. He’s fallen into a black hole and he cannot seem to find a way out. The black hole is also known as Tumblr. More specifically, it’s known as Tumblr’s Larry Stylinson tag."

“A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?

Aka Harry pretends to date his best friend to escape unwanted attention from a too insistent classmate and hopes it won’t blow up in his face. Featuring embarrassing dildo accidents, awkward boners, longing, first times, late night conversations, emotional discoveries and Niall as the exasperated friend with bad advice.”

“Louis and his friends keep laughing at Harry; he's sure of it. But he's not sure why.”

fever started long ago by @mediaville

“"Stay." His brain is skipping backwards but his mouth is skipping forward. "Like, in this bed? With me."

The words hang in the air, somewhere in between their naked chests. Louis licks his lips, and a tiny crinkle appears between his eyebrows. "Why?"

Does there have to be a reason for everything? Does everything have to be a debate? Why does Louis ask 'why?' and not 'why not?' Harry's already annoyed that he wants him to stay. "I'm ill," he says, sniffling for good measure. "I need supervision."

Louis hesitates, looking uncertain, and Harry doesn't like that look on him. "It's late," he says eventually. "You need your rest."

"We'll sleep," Harry promises, and as if on cue, he yawns. He is rather sleepy. "It will be restful."

SPOILER: Styles gets his way. It's not restful.”

“Harry has a type.

He likes older, sophisticated, mature men. Well-educated men. Men with life experience and passion for arts and social causes. Men who are established in their careers, who've sorted their lives out.

Niall knows this.

And so Harry can't understand why he's sat here opposite Louis Tomlinson.

“Louis loves Halloween. Harry hates everything about it, but he loves Louis. And Niall loves vodka and glitter so there's that.

foolishly laying our hearts on the table by @runaway-train-works

““You think Harry wants that?”

“Dunno. Maybe. Wanna make him happy.” Harry takes advantage of the red light he’s pulled up to turn and look properly at Louis’ face. He’s not even looking in Harry’s direction though, focused instead on something out of his side window, head drooped, mindlessly playing with the string of his hoodie between his fingers, lost in his own world somewhere. For some reason, it makes Harry’s spine straighten.

“Because he’s your best mate?” Harry questions carefully.

“He’s my boyfriend.”

He couldn’t have heard him right. “What?”

Louis releases a deep breath, still not turning around. Harry wonders who he thinks he’s talking to right now. “He’s so pretty. Want to kiss him all day long. And buy him a big house and give him presents and marry him.”

The one where Harry is in love with his best friend Louis but doesn't think he stands a chance until some wisdom teeth and a rather unusual confession might just change his mind.”

give you my fever by beautlouis

“And he’s wanted it even more since he met Louis, it's driven him insane, he spends 90% of his life turned on because of Louis and he’s had no relief at all. He’ll wake up at night too hot and itchy, with Louis warm and sweet smelling next to him, and unable to do anything but wank unsuccessfully, with no release. “I can try,” Louis says, close enough that Harry’s eyes cross a little trying to look at him. “I want to, I’ve never been with anybody, like, I’ve snogged people, lots of people, but I’ve never—touched anyone.” He clears his throat. “I’d touch you, Hazza.”

Harry’s breathing picks up. “Yes.” He doesn’t think there was a question but he’s a little overwhelmed. “Yes,” he repeats, dizzy.

*x-factor era. harry's never had an orgasm before, louis gives him his first”

gathered on wings by @twopoppies

“As Harry lay by Louis’ side, covered in sweat and come, he knew he should feel ugly, messy, ruined, like the life he’d left behind. But something about the way Louis looked at him, the way he stared at him with want and awe, made Harry wonder if he’d ever feel this beautiful again.

Harry rolled his eyes at himself for his momentary romantic dreaminess. As good as this was, he knew it was nothing more than sex. He literally couldn’t afford to fall for just anyone, no matter how fit they were.

-----

What Harry Styles wanted was to be taken seriously as an artist. What he needed was a new sugar daddy to pave the way. Louis Tomlinson is an artist who isn’t what Harry is looking for. Somehow he still manages to turn Harry's world upside down. “

gorgeous (it makes me so mad) by @artxghoul

“Harry’s a coffee barista with nothing really going on for him except for the occasional flirting with, some, particularly hot male customers. But when a new guy starts coming in, he suddenly doesn’t know what to make out of any single situation anymore.

give a little sing to the singles by @londonfoginacup

“Harry Styles is an adult now, with a real adult job (and benefits! Whatever those are!). He spends his days at the copier. Copying things.

That being said, no one told Harry that being an adult came with a confusingly chaotic boss, a copier machine that would be hell-bent on ruining his life, and a coworker so good looking that Harry might just have to quit. After all, Christmas is coming and if their office doesn’t win the decorating contest, Louis has threatened to break several laws and kneecaps in retaliation.

Happy Christmas, here’s to many more.”

“"I take it you’re not a new student?” “What?” Harry mumbles, caught up in the way his eyes are quite literally sparkling in the light. “Oh—No. Not a student.” “Are you a sub?” Louis asks. Harry clenches his hands into fists, holding them behind his back as he stumbles a bit. “I don’t, uh—I mean. I’ve never really gotten a chance to be a true sub, you know? My ex-partners were always scared they’d hurt me. But, like—If I trusted someone a lot, and if we used a, a safeword. And talked about, you know, boundaries, then—Yes, yeah, I-I’m a sub.” Louis’ eyes are so wide, his cheeks puffing out in the effort to not burst into laughter. “Oh shit, oh my god,” Harry whispers. “You meant—Oh god."”

“The worst part is that Louis just wants to get really rough with him. He's wanted it right from the start, and it doesn't make sense, because Harry's always been so gentle and understanding and sweet, and yet all Louis wants to do is fuck him up.”

““It wasn’t an easy decision, if I’m honest,” Harry admits, shoulders sagging in on himself. “Moving is really difficult. My whole life was in Manchester. But Manchester didn’t want me. Leeds did.”

“Well, Leeds is happy to have you,” Louis says, giving Harry a kind smile.

Harry brightens a bit at that, undeniably pleased. “Yeah?”

“Yeah,” Louis replies, expression soft and lips curved.

holiday greetings (and gay happy meetings) by @2tiedships2

“"Onwards to drop me off at Robert's before you go to Harry's!" Louis proclaimed when they were safely in the car. Or at least Louis was safely in. Niall was still brushing the snow out of his hair that Louis had accidentally dropped on him.

"We're picking up biscuits first," Niall grumbled as the snow melted into his hair. "You can wait in the car."

After three times of the car sounding like it was dying a slow and tragic death, it finally decided to start.

"This is what happens when you try to change the name of your car after five years," Louis said as a reminder of Niall's stupidity. "You'd be upset too if you were a car named Greased Lightning with a passenger trying to get it renamed to Dusty."

"To be fair," Niall explained, "the name Dusty does seem a bit more accurate."

"Make sure to leave the car running while you're getting whatever you're getting from Harry," Louis said in disgust. "This car is going to choke for good after that comment and I don't want to be stuck at Harry's place when that happens."

Or the one where Niall's dead car and and a foot of snow conspire to force Louis into spending time with an alpha he hates.... or does he?”

“From: Louis Tomlinson To: Undisclosed Recipients

Hello!

I’ve asked the front desk and you lovely folks are the ones who are on the same level as me in the car park. I found a to-do list today that looked somewhat important because it has lines of poetry scribbled at the bottom that seemed like they might be for a card project. The stationary has a moose in a canoe at the top of it (and he is quite adorable). Let me know if it’s yours!

Cheers!

“Oh. My. Fucking. God,” Harry whispered, his eyes darting over the sentences again willing them not to make sense. They did, they did make sense. “Oh. My. Bloody. Fucking. God.”

The next thing he knew he was on the floor, staring at the ceiling, with a very concerned Liam hovering over his head.

"What happened, mate?" Liam asked.

Harry just pointed to his computer.

Liam bent over Harry’s desk to read the email. “What? This isn’t bad. Is that your to-do list? Did you finally come up with the inside text for those cards?”

“Leeyum" he groaned. “It’s what’s on the list.”

“Oh,” Liam paused for a beat. “Is it dirty stuff?”

Harry nodded.

There was more silence. And then, “Dirty stuff with Louis?””

i wanna get dirty with you by awriterwrites

““You good?”

The man’s voice rang out like clear bells from a church tower, light and airy with a gentle rasp like a knife on toast.

It took Harry a moment to realize he was talking to him.

“Me?” Harry squeaked out, his voice a bit wobbly around the edges.

“Just waiting for you to get settled, sweetheart.”

This guy was a naturalist? The headmaster of an outdoor preschool? Harry felt a little woozy. Like he might collapse or propose. He wasn’t quite sure.

**** Harry is a kindergarten teacher. Louis is revolutionizing education--one child at a time. A conference may be an unlikely place to meet someone, but somehow Harry finds Louis and Louis helps Harry find himself.”

i don’t wanna be your friend, i wanna kiss your neck by crybaby

“Harry has been in love with Louis Tomlinson for four years, five months, and thirteen days.

Harry had fallen in love with Louis Tomlinson like how he’d seen in movies, and how he’d read in all the books he’d stolen from Gemma, headfirst and shameless.

The only problem was, that in films and books, love was always either returned instantly, or else it took time for unrequited love to lose the first two letters, and since the first option was obviously not true, Harry decided he would wait for the second to become reality. And so Harry waited, three years, eight months, and four days, before his heart had been broken by a gentle rejection and a misplaced blowjob, before Louis and Gemma had packed up and gone to Manchester for university.

“Louis accepts the call without bothering to look at the caller ID. Only Zayn would be a big enough asshole to call him at two in the morning. This fucking better be important. “This fucking better be important,” Louis greets.

On the other end of the line comes a soft giggle. “Li, you don’t usually curse. I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I like it.”

Yeah, that’s not Zayn. Louis sighs, his anger melting into resignation when he realizes that it’s some poor bastard probably drunk dialing his ex or something. “Sorry, mate. Think you’ve got the wrong number.” Based on this Tumblr prompt: "Accidentally called your number while drunk asking for a ride and you actually came au"”

“"After months of being showered with attention from the gorgeous boy, Louis feels like he’s experiencing a drought, and he yearns for even a single look in his general direction. He's pining and he knows it, feels like he's wilting. He can’t decide if being fired and arrested and disowned by his mum would have been the better outcome at this point."

Or - Harry is 19, Louis is 25. Student/Teacher relationships should remain strictly professional at all times... That's not to say they always do. Things get messy quickly.”

“Reason #12 - Because it's halftime.

Harry would like to think that he doesn’t know how he got himself into this. Only… he’d be lying. Because he knows exactly how he got himself into this. Oh man, does he know, and it’s all because of a certain Louis Tomlinson. Alternatively - football is gay and Harry is trying to cope.”

Louis grabbed onto Niall’s arm in desperation. “Am I a homewrecker? Does Harry have a mate? Oh my God, was he not flirting? Did the change in his scent not have anything to do with my smell yesterday? Did I just make that up!?”

Louis let go of Niall and dropped his face in his hands. “I knew it was too good to be true.”

“You’re an idiot,” Niall stated. Louis looked up to find Niall rolling his eyes. He snapped his laptop closed and moved to stand up. “I need to get some work done. Why don’t you stay here and think back to ABO dynamics 101.”

With that Niall hopped off the couch and headed to his room. He stopped and turned to Louis before he made it to the hall and said, “Oh, and Lou. You may want to reconsider your outlook on soulmates.”

“Finally, after years of suffering alone, the insurance plan at Harry's new job covered omega heat services. As a grown omega adult, it finally felt like the right time to try it out. And, since taking an entire week of heat leave would really put him behind at work, using a service to shorten it seemed like a responsible decision. At least that’s how he rationalized it. He was nervous about his decision but it was too late. The doorbell rang.

“Hi!” The alpha said again and Harry took the hand he offered and shook it firmly. “I’m Louis from Omega Services. It’s nice to meet you.””

Harry has wanted to go to the Shubert Theatre ever since he moved to New York and lucked into a rent-controlled apartment just outside of the Theatre District.

“It didn't help that oftentimes Niall and Zayn's other friend, Louis joined them and from all the stories Marcel has heard about Louis, he was positive they wouldn't get along. From their description, Louis was loud, annoying, and competitive. He liked to tease Niall and Zayn mercilessly and he was creative. Being a tattoo artist, Louis knew things about art that Marcel would simply never understand due to his analytical mindset. He was the complete opposite of Marcel and Marcel didn't think he would ever last in a social setting where he had to be with Louis.

or the one where Marcel and Louis fall in love.”

kiss me on the mouth and set me free by @maggieisalarrie

“Louis has his head thrown back in a laugh, his wet fringe hanging in front of his eyes, and a beautiful flush to his cheeks. From this angle, the sun hits his face just right to where the beams of light are shining in between the spaces of each individual clump of watered down eyelashes. His chest is showing through the soaked material of his white jersey and it seems that his biceps are attempting to break free from the sleeves that are clinging to his skin.

And Harry can do nothing except take it all in. He doesn’t even think he’s breathing at this point. He is literally stuck in place, admiring the true beauty of Louis Tomlinson, while being surrounded by fit footballers and generally attractive people. He doesn’t think he’s ever been in love before, but if Louis let him, he’s pretty damn sure he could change that in the matter of a few nanoseconds.”

“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?”

“The third Wednesday of the new year, Louis finds himself in the laundry room, just as he was the last Wednesday and the one before that. He’s doing pretty well with his New Year’s resolution. The only problem so far is the company he finds in the laundry room. It seems that it’s just him and one other boy who’ve chosen late Wednesday nights as prime laundry-doing time. That wouldn’t be a problem except for who the other boy is.

He’s seen this boy around; it’s hard to miss the long-legged, long-haired dream that lives in Louis’ complex. He likes to wear very sheer shirts and very high boots; he is incredibly fucking gorgeous and yeah, Louis’ noticed him but he’s never spoken to him. Until tonight, apparently.

[Louis and Harry are both students living in the same apartment complex. They end up having the same laundry night and time. Louis can't stop staring at Harry and he can't figure out why Harry consistently points out Louis’ inside-out shirts, and his untied shoes, and messy hair. Enter slow burn-ish flirting, banter, awkwardness, and a lot of laundry.]”

lead me out on the moonlit floor by @scrunchyharry and @beauxbatonslouis

“In all honesty, Harry was long forgotten, cast aside by a dimpled stranger and too much champagne. He was almost glad, now, that Harry hadn’t come, because he wouldn’t have met this stranger, this tall man who could make his heart flutter with a single glance.

Victorian!AU where Louis is a wealthy lord throwing a masquerade ball for his birthday and Harry is a toymaker who's only confident when he's wearing a mask.”

let our hearts collide by @crinkle-eyed-boo

““Liam is in a coma.” “Yeah, we can see that,” the father says, throwing his hands in the air. “God, this is the most depressing Christmas ever,” the blonde sister mutters. “His vital signs are strong,” Dr. Higgins assures them. “Brain waves are good–” “Brain waves?” the mother wails, taking Liam’s hand in hers. “Oh my God!” “How did this happen?” the father demands. “Um, he was pushed from the platform at the subway station,” Harry pipes up. The entire family turns to look at him, confused. Harry shrinks back, wishing he could have just kept his big mouth shut. “Who’s this?” the father asks, pointing at him. “Um, I’m Harry–” he starts. “He’s Liam’s fiancé!” Jade adds helpfully from where she stands by the door. Every jaw in the room drops, including Harry’s. Oh, shit. Shit shit shit. What?

When Harry, a lonely transit worker, saves the life of the handsome commuter he's been secretly pining for, an innocent mistake results in Liam Payne's family believing that Harry is engaged to their son. In the Paynes, Harry finds the big family he's always longed for...and a love he never saw coming.

A While You Were Sleeping AU”

lemon eyes by @turnyourankle

“It's not proper for omegas to mess around with alphas before finding their bondmate. But Harry doesn't give a damn what's proper and fully intends on getting as much experience as he can before even trying to find one. As far as he's concerned, the right alpha won't care, and he'll have some fun on the way.

And who better to start with than Louis Tomlinson, the alpha with the worst reputation on campus?”

like how your hands feel me up and down by ballsdeepinjesus

““How do I look?” Harry asks lowly. He turns around and gestures towards the unzipped back of his skirt for him to help. Louis stumbles forward and places a cold hand on the exposed side of Harry’s stomach, steadying him while he pulls the zipper up the rest of the way. He pushes Harry back into the dressing room and stands behind him in front of the mirror. “It’s -- you’re tight,” Louis chokes. “It’s tight, I mean. It’s. Yes.” His hand is curved around his hip now, squeezing lightly.

“Tight’s good, right?” Harry murmurs, batting his eyelashes. He almost can’t believe himself.

“Very good,” Louis grunts.

[louis works in a halloween shop and harry needs a costume]”

my pleasure (to make you mine) by @zanniscaramouche

““Think about it.” Niall raises an eyebrow at him before amiably leading the interrupting customer to the other side of the store.

And the thing is, even a day later, Harry's done nothing but think about piercing his nipples.

Harry decides to get his nipples pierced. Louis is the piercing artist with a smile that breaks every rule of the universe.”

my service, your pleasure by @hershelsue

“Harry moves in with Louis, his childhood best friend. He had always enjoyed doing things for him, never putting much thought into it. What happens when they're in the same space all the time and Harry can't keep his hands to himself? Surely, his adoration bursts at the seams and a very suspicious Louis tries his best to keep up.”

milk kinship by @jaerie

“Harry had aspired to become a wet nurse since first learning about the honored and respected tradition when he was a teenager. The first documentary he’d seen had been detailed and brutally honest and Harry had still fallen in love with the idea. It’s origins were rooted in highly regarded positions of the royal staff and were credited in playing a role in the lives of some of the most famous children in history. There were medically trained wet nurses and other milk services for mothers unable to feed their babies, but true wet nurse nannies could only be afforded by the rich and famous. The glamorous life appealed to Harry even if his understanding of his role changed to a more realistic view over time. As a starry eyed kid, that was where he wanted to be.

Or Harry is a wet nurse and isn't allowed to have an alpha. He may or may not break his vows.”

make tea, not war by @whateverdelusional and @popsongnation

“"Is he the messiest?"

"Yes."

"Does he do the washing up?"

"Never."

"Does he make his bed?"

"Never."

"Hopeless, hopeless flatmate. Would you rather be with one of these guys?"

"Nope!"

Or: Louis attempts to become a better flatmate, much to Harry's dismay.”

masterpiece by @rainbowsandlovehl

“Harry stared at his phone for five minutes, waiting for a response before giving up. He scrolled through instagram for a while but nothing caught his fancy. He sighed deeply, glancing up for a second before looking at his phone again then blinked. Wait a second... Harry’s head snapped up quickly and he did a double take because this guy surely hadn’t been there the last time Harry had checked the place. No, this person was new and beautiful and different and Harry was pretty sure he was openly gaping at him.

Harry is unwillingly dragged to an art gallery by Niall and his evening turns out better than he expected when he meets Louis. Featuring bad pickup lines and ample flirting.”

meow or never by velvetnoodle (goldfishsunglasses)

“Harry is having a terrible, no good, very bad day.

He’s holed himself up in the back of the university library, stealing an entire sofa for himself. The fact that no one has said anything to him about it just goes to show how much his feelings must be on display. That’s nothing new; Harry’s always worn his heart on his sleeve. And cried easily. Not that he’s crying yet, but he’s close. It’s been a right shit day, and Harry just wants to go back to his room and bury his face in Evie’s soft fur. Unfortunately, he no longer has that luxury.

When Harry is forced to choose between getting kicked out of student housing or giving up his cat, a moment of self-pity leads to the discovery of a third, and much more appealing, option”

my things aren’t the only thing you’ve stolen by beautyhaz

“Harry thinks he's gone insane when things begin to go missing at school and only one boy knows where they are. It turns into more than he expects.”

midnight memories by grand buzz

“Louis Tomlinson is the successful author of several children's books. Those books happen to be the favourites of Eve Styles, Harry’s six year old daughter. Never one to deny her anything, he takes her to a book signing where Louis will also be reading an excerpt from his new book

Of course, Harry doesn't expect to fall in love with the author whose books he reads every night--but that's exactly what happens.“

make him want to sin by @becomeawendybird

“The stranger’s sharp gaze landed on him immediately, the eye contact shattering through Harry’s defenses. For the first time in his life, Harry had an instantaneous reaction to someone. The man stared down at him with interest, like he wanted to take Harry apart and put him back together again, piece by piece. Harry wanted that more than anything, and he wanted it right now. It took every ounce of strength he had ever possessed to not drop down to his knees instinctively.

All from one glance.

Harry is a curatorial assistant at the London Museum of Natural History, on the day of the big annual gala he catches a glimpse of someone unexpected.”

thank you to all the authors for creating wonderful fics! you’re all so talented and valued. :)

Drunken Mishap {HS} Pt.2

read pt.1 here

warnings: angst, mutual pining, cursing.

alright I hope you enjoy this, I suck at writing part 2′s.

word count: 3.2K

I groan as my alarm goes off waking me up for the day. I swear I don’t remember setting an alarm this early. Brooke groans being woken up as well and I smack my phone seeing the time is 10:30 am. I groan shoving a pillow over my face to go back to sleep but that's interrupted by our door being slammed open.

“Wakey wakey sleeping beauties” Niall announces and Brooke and I both groan and I push the pillow further into my face.

“Go away,” I mumble through the pillow and Brooke lets out a small hum of agreement. A body lands on top of me and I let out a breath of air at the sudden pressure put on me.

“Get off!” I yell throwing my pillow off my head and smacking the body on top of me. I see Harry on top of me and everything from last night hits me at once and I push myself away from Harry.

“Get out both of you. We’ll meet in the common room in ten.” I mumble avoiding eye contact and any interaction with Harry.

“Fine but if you’re not in there we’ll be back,” Niall says heading out of my room and Harry is still sitting on my bed. I look at him and roll my eyes.

“That means you leave too,” I tell him and he looks at me with a somber expression.

“Can’t we talk?” He asks and I scoff shaking my head.

“No, I don’t want to talk to you now go,” I demand and he drops his head getting off my bed and I flop back down onto my bed.

“Close the door!” I yell and a couple of seconds later I hear the door shut. I pop my head up and look at Brooke seeing she’s already looking at me.

“Why are you mad at Harry?” She asks and I let out a sigh.

“We got into an argument about the guy I made out with and I snapped at him and said that he had no control over me because he’s not my boyfriend and how come when he goes and makes out with random girls it’s okay but when I do it it’s not okay and he had the audacity to call me a whore and tell me that no one wants to be with me if I keep doing this shit.” I summarize the argument to Brooke and she lets out a gasp.

“What the fuck! That’s so not cool at all!” She nearly yells and I nod my head.

“Yup. I’m just going to ignore him right now I just need time to think.” I tell her and she nods her head telling me she understands. There's banging on our door and we groan knowing our time is up. Niall yells at us opening the door and I know it’s time to face the beast.

“Shut up! We’re up what do you want?” I ask him and a smile plasters his face.

“What do you mean what do I want? It’s time for our family breakfast. Did you hit your head? Are you feeling okay?” Niall starts shooting questions at me and places his hand all over my face feeling my temperature. I smack his hand away moving away from him.

“Stop it! I just forgot.” I explain and he lets out a huff.

“We were supposed to leave 10 minutes ago hurry up both of you,” Niall tells us and I give him a salute and he leaves closing the door.

Brooke and I get ready and we both look in the mirror and I nearly laugh at how different our outfits are. Brooke is wearing a granny sweater with blue jeans with Doc Martens while I’m wearing a black crop top with light blue ripped skinny jeans and blue and white checkered Vans. We head out into the common room and Niall and Harry are waiting by the front door. Niall lets out a sigh when we emerge.

“Let’s go.” Niall pushes us all out the door and I take the lead walking towards the dining hall. Harry is right next to me and I don’t bother talking or acknowledging him and I listen to Niall and Brooke’s conversation about an assignment they have due in their shared class. I hear a huff come from Harry and I almost ask him what's wrong but I stop myself.

I feel my heart break a little bit every time I don’t do something I normally wouldn’t think twice about doing. We get to the dining hall and we all get our food, we decided to eat here so we find a table in the corner that fits all of us. I sit next to Niall and Brooke sits across from me leaving Harry in front of Niall. We all dig into our food making small conversation about what we each planned to do today.

Everyone wants to hang out but I just want to be alone so I tell them that I’m going to do homework in the honors lounge and they all nod in understanding. When we get back to the room I grab my bag and Harry speaks up stopping me before I leave.

“If it’s dark and you want me to come get you from the library just text me.” He tells me and I shake my head.

“I’ll be fine no need to worry about me,” I say not bothering to look at him as I leave the dorm. I feel bad that I’m prolonging this but I just can’t wrap my head around how those words flowed out of him like it was second nature. I can’t help but think that maybe he’s thought this about me for a while and last night was just the perfect opportunity for the words to come out.

I take in a deep breath trying to will the tears away until I can get in private. I make my way to the honors lounge in the library and lock myself into one of the private study rooms and I throw myself onto the chair. I open my laptop in front of me and the wallpaper makes me break.

It’s a collage of photos of Harry and me from freshman year to senior year. I run my eyes over each photo and I cry for the girl in the photo. She has no idea that the boy standing beside her is going to break her. I let the tears flow as I think back to every interaction I’ve had with a guy that Harry was there for and if maybe I should’ve known that this would happen.

All I can come up with are the times I turned to Harry after my last couple of boyfriends had broken up with me because I wouldn’t sleep with them and Harry was there to comfort me and reassure me. It fucking sucks that Harry is the one that hurt me and all I want is for him to hold me and tell me that everything is going to be okay.

A loud sob escapes my chest and I throw my hand over my mouth trying to quiet it as I lean forward curling into myself as the sobs escape my throat. I cry until I physically can’t anymore and my eyes and chest hurt from being overexerted. I take a few moments to calm myself down, taking gulps of air in as I catch my breath. I check the time and see hours have passed from when I left the room and I’ve received a couple of texts from my roommates.

Brooke asked if I wanted to come join them to get food, Niall asked if I wanted him to bring me food, and Harry texted me to tell me to eat something and that he can still come pick me up from the library.

A small smile graces my face at the fact that I was able to find friends that truly cared for me and I know I can’t keep putting this conversation with Harry off for much longer. I wipe my face with the bottom of my shirt and I leave the honors lounge heading into the library and seeing that it’s dark outside.

I let out a breath when I see a person standing by the door and I recognize it as Harry. I guess this conversation is going to happen a lot sooner than I thought. He perks up when he notices me and immediately opens the door when I walk over to him. I thank him and the cold air hits my body and I let out a small shiver.

“Here. I figured you forgot your jacket.” He speaks up handing me a sweatshirt that he was holding.

“Thanks,” I mumble grabbing his sweatshirt and putting it on. I’m immediately wrapped in his scent of vanilla. We walk for a minute in silence and I clear my throat.

“Why did you come?” I ask him looking at him and he lets out a sigh looking over at me.

“I just didn’t want you walking by yourself in the dark, it would kill me if something happened to you because you were mad at me.” He explains his voice is scratchy and I can see his eyes are red. It's an unspoken agreement that we are both hurt over the words said last night. We walk in silence to the dorm and when we get to our room I stop outside the door making him pause.

“We should talk,” I mumble and he agrees, opening the door and holding it for me. I throw my bag in my room muttering a greeting to Niall and Brooke before I walk out and head down the small hallway to Harry’s room.

Harry is pacing the small space in between his and Niall's bed and he looks up at me when I close the door. We stare at each other not saying anything as we try to figure out the words we want to say. I walk closer to Harry and he looks down at me as I stand right in front of him. I take a deep breath in before starting.

“What you said yesterday really hurt me. You had no right to call me a whore because you were mad that I called out your double standards.” I state my voice firm and unwavering. Harry flinches when I say whore and he looks down at me with guilt and sorrow filling his eyes.

“I know. Sorry doesn’t even cover how horrible I feel for saying that to you.” He mutters shamefully and I let out a sigh jumping onto his bed because standing feels like a lot of work right now.

“What made you even think that you had the right to say that to me?” I ask him genuinely wanting to know why he said those words. He looks conflicted before he sighs shaking his head.

“I- I don’t know.” He stutters out and I let out a scoff.

“Seriously?” I ask looking at him my eyes widened.

“You don’t fucking know why you called me a whore and how no one is going to want to be with me if I’m a whore.” I state bewildered that he won’t tell me anything.

“I- I can’t explain it.” He stutters again and I feel tears start prickling my eyes. They aren’t tears of sadness, they’re tears of anger. One thing that everyone close to me knows that when I get really really angry I cry and that means that they’ve fucked up.

“Seriously Harry! You’re going to stick with the I don’t know why I said what I said story instead of fucking admitting why you said that shit! I know you like the back of my fucking hand and you never say anything you don’t fucking mean so tell me why the fuck you said that!” I scream at him as the tears flow down my cheeks and Harry truly knows he’s fucked up. He doesn’t say anything instead he just stares at me and I’m over it.

“You know how fucked up I am because of guys. You have been there to hold and console me after guys broke up with me because all they wanted from me was my body and I wouldn’t give that to them. So you didn’t need to remind me that every time I find myself slightly attracted to another guy they probably only want me for my body and they won’t want me for who I really am.” I grit out between my teeth and I get ready to jump off his bed to leave but his hands plant themselves on my thighs stopping me. I pause and look from his hands to his face and he’s already staring straight into my eyes.

“You’re right Y/N.” He starts, taking in a deep breath before continuing.

“I had no right to say that, especially after everything we’ve been through.” Tears start falling down his face and I drop my eyes down to his hands which are pulsing on my thighs. It hurts to see us both so torn up over this.

“I don’t know how to explain what I did without exposing something that I swore I’d never tell you.” He picks up his hands dragging them across his face and dropping them to his side.

“Please Harry. I need to know.” I whisper using the last of my energy on him.

“I was jealous.” He starts and my head shoots up and I’m about to go off on him again but he stops me by putting his hand up.

“I know it sounds horrible that I said that to you because I was jealous but it’s the truth.” He explains and I let out a scoff going to jump off again but he places his hands on either side of me caging me in.

“I was jealous that he got to do what I’ve been wanting to do for years.” He admits whispering in my ear and I feel myself freeze.

“W-what?” I stutter feeling my cheeks flush and my body heat up.

“I was jealous that this guy you’ve maybe seen around campus once and talked to for 30 seconds got to kiss you and hold you when I have been here for 4 years and never once got to kiss you when all I’ve wanted to do was kiss you and call you mine,” Harry admits to me looking me dead in the eyes and I feel my breath catch. My mind is running rampant with thoughts that I can barely focus on one and I feel my chest tightening.

Harry sees my panic and takes my face in between his hands holding me still as he instructs me to breathe with him. I focus on his eyes as I try to match my breathing to his and I let out a small cry.

Harry pulls me into him as I break again. He rubs my back with his hand as his other holds my head to his chest. I listen to his beating heart and feel his chest vibrate as he shushes me. When I calm down enough Harry pulls me away from his chest and looks me in the eyes.

“The words I said to you I should’ve never said, there is no amount of words to express how sorry I am that those words came out of my mouth, I have never once thought you were a whore or that no one would want to be with you because for god's sake all I want is you.” He speaks again and I nod my head understanding his words.

“I think about you all day every day. Every time I see you it feels like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. Every time you cry or are hurt I hurt with you, it hurts me to see you upset because you deserve only happiness. You are the most amazing person I’ve ever met and you’re all I want. Not want need. I need you Y/N.” Harry begins crying again as he admits his deepest feelings to me and I let out a small laugh dropping my head.

The balls in my court. I either break our hearts and end this friendship, or I take the risk and hope that we work out. I look up again and our eyes say everything.

“I need you to Harry,” I admit flicking my eyes between his and he lets out a sigh of relief pulling me into him. Thinking back we always acted like we were more than friends, we were always there for each other no matter what was going on and often we were quite possessive over one another when it came to other guys and girls in our friendship.

Harry pulls back staring into my eyes and one of his hands comes up cupping my jaw as his thumb rubs up and down my cheek lightly and the other holds onto my waist keeping me in place. One of my hands rests on the nape of his neck and the other tangles into the curls on the back of his head.

Our eyes roam each other's faces flicking from our eyes to our lips and neither of us wants to make the first move. I take in a shaky breath before speaking the words that could make or break us.

“Kiss me please,” I whisper unsure and Harry’s eyes widen slightly in surprise before a smile breaks across his face. He readjusts his hand on my jaw as he leans in. I close my eyes and his forehead touches mine his lips barely grazing mine. I let out a shaky breath as he speaks to me his lips brushing against mine with every word.

“If we do this, there’s no going back because I won’t be able to.” I nod my head against his and whisper out a shaky yes as I wait for him to make the move. His lips ever so lightly press against mine and I immediately respond to his kiss. His lips are soft and he tastes like mint. He pulls away so only his forehead is touching mine and we both release a breath. I open my eyes and see he’s already looking at me.

“I’m in love with you Y/N L/N. Have been since we first met.” He mumbles against my lips and I let out a sigh of relief.

I admire him for a second before speaking the words that I’ve been wanting to tell Harry for years, “I’m in love with you too Harry.”

He immediately presses his lips to mine after the words come out of my mouth. This kiss is making up for all the times we’ve wanted to kiss and chickened out. It’s making up for all the times we’ve watched each other get hurt by other guys and girls and never said anything. It’s making up for everything. His grip tightens on my waist as he pulls away from the kiss again and we are left catching our breath.

“I could do this forever.” He whispers and I open my eyes to look at him as I smile. His eyes are shining with happiness and I’m sure mine are as well.

“Yeah, forever sounds good.”

A/N: there we go, if you want me to write anything you can request it, i’m down to write pretty much anything, otherwise I’ll just post when I get inspiration which varies.

I feel like this cancellation was a mix of personal and logistical issues. I just wish Louis would have expanded a bit more about why the dates were cancelled :(

Yeah, honestly, I feel like cancellations are understandable to most fans, regardless of how upset they may be. Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Niall Horan, and Camilla Cabello are just a few major artists off the top of my head who have cancelled tours or large portions of their tours in the last several years...and yes, fans are always going to be upset about it, but most people do understand that it can happen for a bunch of different reasons.

What's unacceptable is how this was handled. Even if Louis didn't feel comfortable expanding on what's going on in detail, his team should have made the announcement before all the venues reached out to people. Adding a message on the website after the fact is not enough. It's always worse to drip feed people information and that's what was happening with the rumors and then venue after venue tweeting or sending out emails. And Louis' tweet fell a little flat, especially considering how late the notice is for this cancellation. Yes, people can get full refunds for the tickets, but so many people spend a lot more money for concerts, whether it's for hotels or travel or whatever, and a lot of people take time off or rearrange plans. And Asian fans almost never get to see him, which makes it even worse. The idea that Louis and his team don't owe fans anything when we're the entire reason the tour is happening in the first place is just blatantly untrue. That mentality is really weird to see. There are a lot of understandable reasons why a tour may get cancelled and Louis and his team have the right to make that call if it's necessary, but when they cancel ten days before the first show, he and his team absolutely do owe fans more than one short tweet.

This tour already appeared poorly planned and executed considering fans had like little notice before tickets went on sale, a lot of tickets got plucked up by scalpers immediately because there was no fan pre-sale, the different legs were announced at random times, some legs were never announced (LATAM, anyone?), Louis implied that more dates were coming (like India) weeks after dates were announced, and there was no promo. Now with this? While personal reasons may also play a role in this cancellation, it's an indisputable fact at this point that Louis' team lacks either the will or the ability to successfully execute the basics of their job. Louis indicated that he wanted to put out another album and tour quickly last year yet it seems that they did everything poorly and last minute. I have no doubt that they would've also waited until the week before tour started to figure out who the openers were like they did with LTWT.

Louis and his fans have a special relationship, but the longer his team's incompetence continues, the more strained it becomes for a lot of us. And things like this where it feels like too little, too late really doesn't help. I feel sad that he's not able to tour Asia because I know how much he wanted to, but more of my sympathy lies with the Asian fans who weren't treated the way they deserve.

Football AU

Unbelievers by isthatyoularry

E, 136k

It’s Louis’ senior year, and he’s dead set on doing it right. However, along with his pair of cleats, a healthy dose of sarcasm and his ridiculous best friend, he’s also got a complicated family, a terrifyingly uncertain future, and a mortal enemy making his life just that much worse. Mortal enemies “with benefits” was not exactly the plan. Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely aren’t friends, and football is everything.

AU. Acclaimed actor, Hollywood heartthrob, and Oscar nominee, Harry Styles, seems to have the world at his feet, but seeks out an old friend when he needs a date for his big night.

AU. As the first British footballer to come out at the prime of his career, it helps that Louis Tomlinson is in a long-term, committed relationship. Even if that relationship is fake. (Featuring Niall as Louis' favourite teammate, Liam as Louis' agent, and Zayn as Liam's boyfriend, who just happens to be good friends with one Harry Styles.)

“You’ve played keeper before?” Tomlinson asks suspiciously, hands on his waist. “Er, yeah,” Harry coughs. “Loads of times.” “Alright Popstar, if you’re sure,” Tomlinson tells him with a shrug, his professional expression already curling into laughter. Harry tries not to read too much into it. After all, how hard can goalkeeping really be? When Harry gets invited to play in a celebrity charity match with Louis Tomlinson, Manchester United's star player, he's determined to impress him with brilliant football skills. The only flaw in Harry's otherwise foolproof plan? He has absolutely no football skills, brilliant or otherwise.

“Oops!” A deep and slow voice fills Louis’ ears as an arm reaches around his waist, to keep Louis from rebounding into another white-outfitted body – this time a short young girl who could only be gymnast. “Hi,” Louis replies as he turns to smile up at the person and thank him for preventing Louis’ life from dissolving into a real-life game of Pong, but the words dry up in his throat when he sees. The person is a boy, tall and lanky with curly brown hair pushed away from his face messily and held back by a gaudy Union Jack scarf, green eyes sparkling from all the camera flashes and impossibly pink lips curled in a wide smile that nearly encompasses his whole face. And Louis recognizes him instantly. And he thinks that maybe if walking into the Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony wasn’t enough, having Harry Styles’ arm around him might be the killing blow. Also known as an Olympics AU where Harry is a pro tennis player, and Louis is a pro footballer. They meet at the opening ceremony and fall in love, obviously.

“Well.” Niall unlocks his phone. “It wasn’t getting the traction I wanted on Snapchat. So… I tweeted it.” What. “You tweeted it,” Harry states, nearing a state of brain dead. “To your ten thousand followers.” Niall nods, handing Harry the phone. “You’re a meme, Harry.” “I’m a what?” “A meme. It’s like an internet—” “I know what a fucking meme is, Niall! Why did you make me into one?” Niall has the fucking balls to cackle at that while Harry looks at the mess his former friend created. Videos of him screaming at Tomlinson about Tide Pods and his ass are being quoted and combined with memes to a create a level of memeception Harry has never seen before. That isn’t even including the thousands of tweets of him falling up the stairs remixed with random Top 40 songs. ~ In which Harry’s a disaster gay who doesn’t know shit about soccer, Liam drinks too many blue raspberry Coolattas, Niall knows everyone, Zayn looks dead, and Louis is Not Happy about sharing his breakout moment with “Drunk Hawaiian Guy.”

Harry is fifteen minutes late to the office on the day Louis Tomlinson comes out as gay. Or, the one where Harry's a chronically underpaid magazine intern and Louis is the Premier League's first gay footballer and pretty much the last thing they need is each other.

He's Not Heavy, He's Our Brother (part two)

Author's note: well...turns out, this will be a three parter! I've basically made this into a mini fic, rather than a one shot like my original plan lol. I hope that's okay with you all hahaha! Again, I have work soon, and really wanted to get another part up for you all, and half way through writing this, I knew I'd have to make it into three parts.

As usual, lemme know what you think! Part three will be up either tomorrow or Monday. I'll start working on it tonight after work and tomorrow!

Enjoyyyyyyy! <3

TRIGGER WARNINGS: bad language, sexual harassment, drug use, drugs, non-consensual touching, non-consensual drugging, attempted non-con/rape.

Characters: Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Original Male/Female Characters

Word count: 1434

PART ONE HERE

It took the lads a few minutes to realise that Niall had yet to return to them. Liam, always having been the slightly more mature one in certain situations, stopped his dancing abruptly and looked around him. "Where did Ni say he was going?" He asked, wanting to make sure he heard the same as the others.

"He was only getting another drink…he should've been back by now." Harry answered, the worry setting in now. Louis immediately made his way over to the bar, knowing the others would be right on his heels. As he approached, he saw Damien and quickly stepped behind the bar and to his co-workers side.

"You seen Niall?" He asked as he leant down to the man's ear. Damien nodded and frowned at the look of concern on Louis' face.

"He was just over here a few minutes ago. Wanted another drink, so I topped him up and he went back over to you guys. Why? What's wrong?" Damien asked, worried now. Apparently, the look of panic on the lads' faces was spotted by Frank, who made his way over.

"What's going on?" The manager asked, already getting a bad feeling, even before knowing anything. "Louis, what's wrong?"

It was Liam who spoke up next. "We can't find Niall," He said, "He was over here getting a drink like nearly ten minutes ago, but he never returned to us…even if he needed a piss, he'd be back by now."

"You don't think something's happened to him, do you?" Damien panicked. "I made sure I gave him his drink personally, I watched as he walked away. Nobody had time to do anything!"

"Okay, just calm down, we'll figure it out and find him." Frank said, trying to calm the situation, but out of nowhere, a young man approached the group, and he looked worried.

"Excuse me, are you the manager?" The newcomer asked, eyes darting around in a worry. Frank smiled assuringly.

"Yeah, that's me…how can I help?"

"Um, that young lad who works here, I've seen him here a few times, uh, I saw him bump into someone a few minutes ago. It didn't look like a nice interaction. They went off that way…"

Panic ensued. Louis and Harry were racing off in the direction the man was pointing. Liam thanked the man and took off after his friends, and Frank rushed off to get security. Everyone's hearts were thumping in fear. Damien, who stayed where he was, sent a silent prayer. He's only known Niall, and Louis, for a few weeks, but he respected both lads and they'd formed quite a nice friendship. He just prayed everything was okay and this was all a misunderstanding.

-----

Louis, Liam and Harry made it to an empty corridor, they were thankful that Louis worked here and knew this particular area well, because Liam and Harry had no idea where they were. "These are just spare storage rooms…we used to have a little common room for us staff here a while ago, but when the back was redone, we started using that since it was bigger. Ni's only been down here a couple times, mainly just for some peace and quiet when he gets a little panicky…you know what he's like." Louis was explaining, head darting back and forth as he glanced about for their friend.

"You don't think that guy from earlier is still hanging around, do you?" Harry asked, voice trembling. Just as Liam opened his mouth to speak, they heard a grunt and shelves knocking around. "It came from there!" Harry exclaimed, pointing at one of the only doors that were closed. Liam was there immediately, rattling the door handle when it refused to open.

"Open this door!" Liam shouted, banging on the wood and trying with all his might to get the damn thing to open. It was at this moment that Frank arrived with Bill, the head of security. "I swear! Ni, you in there?!"

"You found him?" Frank asked, but Louis shook his head.

"We heard noises from this room, but the doors locked. We thi-" He was suddenly cut off as a broken whimper sounded and Liam breathed out a small, "Nialler…" before doubling his efforts and ramming his shoulder against the splintering wood.

"Stand back!" Bill said, pushing the boys aside as he kicked the door in. It only took a few seconds, but for the boys, it felt like hours until the door broke and they could see inside. The sight, however, was one they would never forget.

"NIALL!" Louis screamed in fear, and watched as Bill quickly stepped over the broken shelving unit to grab at the man, half naked, around the chest and pull him roughly away. "YOU BASTARD!" Louis sobbed, "What did you do to him?! Niall!" The boys finally got a good look at their best friend, and they all sobbed.

Niall was barely conscious, his jeans and boxers around his ankles, his shirt ripped and scratches adorned his body like a sick work of art. The corners of his mouth and down his chin were wet, the empty bottle a few feet away giving the group a hint of what it possibly was. His blue eyes, once sparkling and full of life, now glazed over and dull. He wasn't in good shape.

"Oh Nialler." Liam cried, hurrying to his friends side. Frank was already there, taking off his own sweatshirt to place over Niall's groin and thighs, trying to help with what little dignity he could save for the boy.

"We need to call 999, he needs to get checked out properly. It looks like he was drugged and…" The manager couldn't finish, just turned his face away from the broken body of his colleague. It was quiet for a few minutes, before Tucker finally appeared at the doorway, gasping in shock with his phone to his ear.

"Yes, police and ambulance please…The NightLife Club, Braxton Way…a friend of ours has been attacked, he's unconscious…yes, he's breathing…come round to the back door, I'll let them in…okay, thank you." When he hung up, he crouched at Frank's side, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Damien told me what happened, he said you'd been gone a while, so I thought I'd come see if everything was alright…I saw Bill down the corridor, he told me what happened back here and I came as quick as I could…how is he?"

"I don't know…he hasn't woken up." Frank said, "Could you get that blanket from my office, please? He's cold." Tucker nodded and was up and gone in seconds, and Frank glanced around at the boys. "Lads…stay here with him, I need to go open the back door for the ambulance. Won't be long." With that, the manager left and it was just Louis, Liam, Harry and the unconscious Niall. No one knew what to say.

Tucker, at some point, had come back in and laid the blanket over Niall. He must've left again, as one second he was there, the next, two paramedics were being shown into the room along with two police officers. "His name's Niall Horan, he's 21. He works here. There was this guy a couple hours ago, he was being rude and inappropriate with some of our staff. I sent Niall over to help…oh god, and when Niall finished his shift, the guy was back and dragged him in here. He drugged him, and…oh god." The manager broke off with a shaky breath.

One of the policeman put a hand on Frank's shoulder. "It's okay, sir, your security guard has a tight hold on him. We've got some back up on the way. We'll take him to the station, and we'll have to close this place down for a few days while we investigate, I'm afraid."

Frank just nodded, eyes watching as Niall's limp body was wheeled passed on a stretcher, Louis clutching Niall's hand and Liam and Harry speaking to the other officer. "That's fine…my friend, Tucker, he's the other manager, he's getting everyone out. The other staff are just clearing down, but they should be done soon. We can go to my office, if you wish? That's where the CCTV is."

"My colleagues will be here any minute. We will need to view the footage and get a copy of it, if that's possible? We will need statements from everyone present, and any other witnesses who may have a different view point. Any additional evidence we can get will benefit Mr Horan's case."

With that said, Frank knew it would be a long night.

✤ Childhood Friends Fics ✤

A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.

- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ Your Name Is Tattooed On My Heart by mcpofife [E, 86k]

Louis is ready to find the love of his life, but first he has to stop falling for the punk rocker next door.

2️⃣ Faking It by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine [M, 46k]

A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?

3️⃣ Play the Odds by @alivingfire [M, 25k]

Harry and Louis are best friends since childhood who, after a night of drinking, find themselves locked in a bet: first one to kiss the other a thousand times wins. Wins what? They don't know. Glory, Harry supposes. Bragging rights, though those don't do much in this economy. All Harry knows is that this is one bet he can finally win. What he doesn't expect, though, is what happens when he starts kissing his best friend on a daily basis.

Namely, he doesn't expect falling head over heels in love with his best friend.

Now all he has to do is make sure the bet never ends, so he never has to stop kissing Louis.

4️⃣ i love you most by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci [M, 12k]

friends with benefits has always been enough for louis. until, of course, it isn't.

5️⃣ Now In A Minute by thealmightyavocado / @avocadolouie [M, 150k]

13 feels like yesterday for many people, but for Louis it actually was.

More than anything in the world, Louis Tomlinson dreams of growing up. Simply skipping over all of the awkward, embarrassing years of teenage existence and getting on with life. Real life.

So when thirteen-year-old Louis wakes up in the body of his thirty-year-old self, he expected everything in his adult life to be picture perfect. And maybe it is. He has it all…or so it seems.

Except his favorite person and lifelong best mate, Harry Styles, is totally missing from the equation and Louis doesn’t understand why. He has a lot of catching up to do and as adult life turns out to be more than what he bargained for, Louis can’t help wondering why a life that seemed so perfect, feels so empty.

Or the 13 going on 30 au that should have been done years ago.

-HIDDEN GEMS-

💎 days gone by by velvetnoodle / @femslashy [E, 25k]

Five years after their last day at Camp Vernon, Louis and the lads decide to celebrate by returning to the place that had brought them together all those years ago. Exhausted from work and desperately in need of a break, Louis arrives ten days before the others with the intention of fixing up the place. He’s not expecting any company, but, as Louis should know by now, things in his life rarely ever go to plan.

💎 When I Run Out of Road by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird [M, 24k]

It's 1932 when Harry Styles sets off on an adventure to the African continent and the most popular new travel destination: Nairobi. He has reservations at the best club in town and plans to stay for a few weeks. What he doesn't expect is to meet and get to know a wonderful family along the way.

The Deakins are sponsors of the Royal Ballet, traveling with the company to see them perform in Nairobi for the first time. They take Harry under their wing, treat him like part of their family, and change his life in ways he never imagined.

💎 You Turned Up (Like a Friend of Mine) by @lululawrence [NR, 10k]

Louis padded downstairs, feeling incredibly thirsty. He filled up a glass of water and was about to take a drink when a loud knock sounded at the door accompanied by some yelling and ringing of the doorbell.

“What the hell?” Louis muttered, setting his glass on the counter and rushing towards the door.

As he got closer to the door, though, his mind stopped whirling because the voice was one that was etched forever in his mind, but one that he never thought he would ever hear again.

“Why’s the door locked? Did you seriously go without me? And who’s car is in the driveway? Lou, I knew you’d be late to get me. We’re going to miss-”

Louis whipped the door open, sure that he was just imagining things. There was no way…

Except there was. Standing on the front step was the curly haired, boy-faced Harry Louis had last seen ten years ago today.

Or the one where Harry disappears on graduation day only to show up on Louis' door looking exactly the same ten years later. Through a series of strange events, maybe they can finally figure out that they're destined to be together, no matter what.

💎 you and I love like it's a secret by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed [T, 4k]

Louis swallows, looking at Harry, who grins at him as though nothing’s wrong. He’s leaning against the door of a wardrobe, his long hair having lost some of its curls due to the amount of times he’s run his fingers through it. Louis is still where he was the moment the door got closed behind them, all but pressed up against the wood, trying to keep as much distance between him and Harry as possible.

His heart stutters in his chest as he looks up at his best friend. He’s known Harry since he was barely out of diapers, and Harry gets him in a way that few people ever have – or have tried to. He knows him, to the point where sometimes Louis worries that he’s able to read his mind.

Or: It's Seven minutes in Heaven, but Louis sort of feels like he's ended up in Hell instead when he's forced into a small bedroom with his childhood best friend slash long time crush.

💎 captivity by momentofclarity / @gaycousinlarry [G, 1k]

you get to a point in life when your secrets aren't as holy as they once were.

Sunday Snippet

I was last tagged by @disgruntledkittenface to share a snippet of my WIP. Chipping away at this new chapter of Arise, Fair Sun, and I’m FINALLY writing some scenes I’ve had in my head since the very beginning. Enjoy!

Harry completes his fouettés, finishing the combination with a double pirouette and landing perfectly in fourth position, his arms arced gracefully at his sides and a satisfied smile on his face. Since Louis’ entrance for the wedding night pas de deux is next, Harry walks over to Niall’s stage manager table, picking up his phone and dragging the progress bar backwards so he can run his solo again from the top.

“You never stop, do you?”

“Jesus fucking Christ!”

Harry’s whole body startles and he drops his phone, the clatter of it hitting the table resounding in the empty studio. He whirls around to see Louis leaning against the doorframe, looking irritatingly handsome in a simple black bomber jacket, a marigold polo, and slim-fit black jeans.

“You scared the shit out of me, Louis!”

“Sorry,” Louis says, not looking the least bit sorry, a bemused smile on his face.

“What are you–” Harry pauses, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, pressing a hand to his chest, willing his heart rate to go back to normal, adrenaline still coursing through his veins. “What are you doing here?”

“I was at dinner and realized I had left this in my locker,” Louis explains, holding up his iPhone. “Couldn’t very well be without a phone ‘til Monday, so I came back for it once I was done.” Louis hesitates, tilting his head curiously. “What are you doing here?”

“What does it look like I’m doing here?” Harry asks defensively, not entirely sure why he suddenly feels embarrassed that Louis walked in on him while he was working.

“I mean, it looks like you’re rehearsing,” Louis says, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Ding, ding, ding!” Harry exclaims, tapping the side of his nose. “Tell him what he’s won, Johnny!”

Louis frowns.

“Sorry,” Harry apologizes, his shoulders slumping, all the fight leaving him just as quickly as it came. “It’s been a long day and it’s a fair question and just…sorry.”

They look at each other for a long time, until Harry finally looks away, grabbing his towel and wiping the sweat off his face

“Harry, it’s after nine,” Louis states, his mouth still downturned. “On a Saturday night.”

Harry glances up at the clock on the wall, having completely lost track of time, not even registering it whenever he had looked at his phone. Sure enough, it’s ten minutes after nine.

“So?” Harry challenges, tossing his towel on one of the chairs.

“So have you been here this whole time?” Louis asks, his tone incredulous. “Rehearsal ended at six. Did you even have dinner?”

“Yes, Louis,” Harry says witheringly, gesturing to the remnants of his salad, “I had dinner.”

“That’s hardly dinner,” Louis scoffs, rolling his eyes. “And you only ate half of it.”

“There was bread too!” Harry protests.

https://www.tumblr.com/getawayheaven/719654987084464128/why-do-you-talk-about-louis-using-blue-and-green?source=share

If there's possibility that Larry is not real anymore and they are still using Larry signs for signalling to connect with fans on a personal level then doesn't that mean that they both are Larry baiting so that fans will stay ??

That's the problem anon. Who decided that some specific things are Larry signs? Just because fans belive that blue and green are Larry colours should harry and louis just ban these colours from their life and career forever? M 100% sure niall is aware too about these "Larry" colours does that mean he was signalling about Larry in his recent photoshoot where he was carrying blue and green balloons? No. Not at all.

I am not against signalling and coding. I know that celebrities use these things to hint about their sexuality and relationship all the time and harry and louis have been doing this for years now. They used it heavily during one direction. But time change, people change, personalities change, priorities change and nothing is same anymore.

Currently they could be together or they could be not. Who knows. But one thing is for sure they don't want their fans to keep linking them with each other. Their priorities have entirely changed and they want everyone to know them by their solo work not by their relationship. Their current priority is getting as successful as they can get no matter what it takes. But that doesn't mean they don't want people to recognize them for who they really are.

Who would have thought that harry would sit down for an official Rolling Stone interview with leech just to let everyone know that he has the right to go on dates without having to explain constant hate for his girlfriends on internet. But at that time his top priority was to make DWD a huge success. But keep in mind that this is the same harry who almost teared up on stage on the very next day of RS interview and said "It's difficult to sing Matilda in a rainbow suit" because ALL his fans were accusing him of queerbaiting. He knew what he was saying and he knew his fans would understand.

Both louis and harry would be ok if people won't recognize them because of their relationship or their sexuality but they won't be ok if they would be categorized as flop artist who can't sell shows. According to me coming out is not in their cards for at least next ten years. But that does not mean they don't feel happy and satisfied when their fans love the real harry and Louis for who they really are and not for who they are pretending to be. That does not mean they don't feel immensely loved when they use signs related to Larry and they know that these fans know their real identity and still they are loved. So no they are not Larry baiting even if Larry is not real anymore. They are just continuing to set a connection with fans in a way they invented years ago but the context of these signs and connection have changed with the change in time and with change in their life and people need to understand that.

hiii, lou! 💜

honestly, i love giving comforting hugs, because most of the time i don't know how to react when someone is having a bad time. i'm really empathetic, but at the same time i easily find solutions for other people's problems. when what they need at the time is just to mourn and calm down. 😓

yes, when the time comes, i would love to see what blogs you have in mind. 👾

oh, i love angst at all. it's just sometimes the pain is too much. but if i'm being honest, i easily lose interest if everything is just fluff or the couple gets together too fast. 🫣

let me guess, you only like louis, harry and one dee? i can't wait to see what songs you have chosen! and i have been always thinking the songs we listen to show what kind of person we are. it's like you get the memo before even talking to someone. that's why i don't usually show people my playlists. 🦄

well, about the astrology, not only one sign makes you who you are, but a lot of different signs working with each other. also, i kinda get this. i usually prefer listening when i don't want to talk about myself. but at the same time i'm like harry when someone asks me questions i don't want to answer. talking about anything else, but not the topic we are currently discussing. 😄

i hope whatever is the reason about you not being allowed to drink coffee is not something serious and you feel better soon! and i love hot chocolate so much. i don't like coffee. i prefer tea, matcha or hot chocolate. 🪁

i think in our next spanish lesson you should teach me how to say "i love chocolate", because i can't live without it. 😋

my questions for the day: how many fics are you planing to post this year? and what keeps you motivated to write? ☔️

hope you have a lovely friday,

- your secret valentine ☺️

hi love!!

i never know how to react either, i just offer if they want to be listened and that’s it. i’ve only comforted my family when we’ve lost someone but that’s as far as i’ve gotten.

(i don’t have any blogs in mind but i’ll look for some.)

ohh i like both i think. i like it when they go through a lot of things to be together but also when it’s just them loving each other since the beginning. i guess it depends on how things are said for me hdkdhd

yes, i only like them 🤭 and before i forget about it, here are ten songs to know me better:

the view from the afternoon - arctic monkeys

music when the lights go out - the libertines

ocean’s deep - born ruffians

hometown - twenty one pilots

beautiful disaster - 311

wait for it - leslie odom jr (hamilton cast)

fireproof - one direction

headline - louis tomlinson

satellite - harry styles

everywhere - niall horan

i think that’s why i prefer listening, so i don’t have to talk abt myself, and bc sometimes i stumble with my words (idk if that’s the right expression lol).

it’s nothing serious, don’t worry! it’s something to do with my brain, i was a bit ill last summer and now it’s just a measure to not get back to that heheh we can share a mug of hot chocolate sometime!

okay, if you want to say “i love chocolate” you can use the pronoun for “i” which is “yo” or you can skip it since the verb already indicates you’re talking in first person. “yo amo el chocolate” or “amo el chocolate”. yo is pronounced like in english, amo = ah-moh, for el it’s like when you say elephant, and chocolate you already know ;)

i’m posting two fics this year. my friends keep me motivated but not in a pressured way but i want to write to make my friends happy, that’s the reason i started writing fics in the first place. since i can’t give my friends gifts for their birthdays (or just because), i decided to write fics for them. currently i’m working with a friend on something and i’m having so much fun but i’m mainly doing it to see her happy. 💗

you know, i originally wanted to ask you your top 5 louis songs and then i linked it to the movies so i mentioned soundtrack lol but i’m still curious if you want to share?

have a nice day!!

what’s you’re take on the bears?

I said before that I think it's the best evidence we have of Larry, simply because it was so direct and in-your-face (the wedding with the photo frame saying "Love, Larry", all the blue and green stickers, the reference to Harry's 22nd birthday, etc.). I also think it's highly, highly likely that it was Louis and Harry behind them for mainly 4 reasons:

1. The handwriting on one of the certificates RBB&SBB were holding up looks identical to Harry's handwriting.

2. The way they reacted in that one interview when asked about the bears. All of them looking to Louis, Niall whipping his head to Louis and looking scared, Harry saying something like "I think it was one of the crew members who taped it to the scaffolding. I think that's what it is", and just overall sounding like a bad liar -- nervous, a lot of "I think"'s, and acting as if he doesn't know anything even though he knows as much as the bears being taped to the scaffolding. Anyway... That whole interview was just a mess lol.

3. If my memory serves me right, there was that gay bar that Louis was nearby, and he took a photo with a fan, almost as if he wanted to let people know he was there. Then around that same time that night the bears were posted on their account with, iirc, two drag queens and another separate guy at that gay bar.

4. It was also very obvious that whoever was behind the bears was telling us whatever was going on behind the scenes, so I don't think they were trolling us. Some of it seemed really serious, especially regarding the baby stuff. Though I do wonder how they got away with the twitter account and how they got security guards to stand by the bears, and why management didn't take them away. I think their management did intervene a few times, because they did quickly take that "Love, Larry" photo frame away. I don't think 1D was under as much control as people think, and I think they were able to get away with things and hold some power over their management. I mean, if they were under total control like that, then things like weedgate and 😺 -gate would have never happened.

Even if the bears aren't actually the best evidence, they are definitely in the top ten, if not top three. Just in my opinion.
