I always find fic Non-au. Especially good classic long fics. But it seems to be hard to find these ones. Because all classic Larry fics out there seems to be Au fics.
Could you bless me with some Non-au fics, pleassse?
Hello 🌸 it took me ages to reply to this, because I don’t read canon compliant fics, but I checked my history on AO3 and I wasn’t disappointed. I hope you’ll find some new fics you haven’t read yet! As always, read the tags and let me know if you liked them <3 here it comes
Canon compliant fics
To the ends of the earth by stylinsoncity (68K): the Idaho fic! a classic, iconic fic. The band is on a hiatus, Harry and Louis have not been in touch for a long time. Niall set them up and they are forced to meet again.
Given a chance by Fabby (173K): Louis and Harry run into each other five years after One Direction ends and learn how to love each other again.
And then a bit by infinitelymint (@infinitelymint)(158K): canon compliant-ish, but with fake relationship trope (one of my favourite).
Burn to ash by bethaboo (116K): Or the fic where Harry spirals out of control, the band breaks up, and then he shows back up, five years later.
You’ve got my devotion (Hate you sometimes) by lucythegoosey (95K): almost five years on, after One Direction has broken up, and Harry and Louis are forced to fake-date after an old video from when they were dating emerges. Massive publicity stunt and two begrudging exes are all it takes to bring One Direction back and maybe, Harry and Louis too.
Hold a hand for cover by vashtaneradas (26K): two years after the band, harry and louis bump into each other for the first time.
One More time by orphan_account (232K): kinda canon compliant I guess. On the morning of his second sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden, Harry wakes up to find that he's sixteen years old, on The X Factor, and that he has a chance to make things right’.
i’m gonna add these little ones too, because I liked them and because why not!
Stop the world (‘cause I wanna get off with you) by devilinmybrain (@thedevilinmybrain)(12K): as the tags say… shameless smut. The good kind of shameless and of smut.
Here to take my medicine by lightsforlouis (9K): this story finds inspiration in the absolutely iconic performance of Medicine in Saint Paul. A story about sparkling suits, VIP box silhouettes, a bit of obscene dancing and most importantly, what happens when the stage lights go out and it’s only them.
Such a pretty face, on a pretty neck by subrrystyles (6K): hot as fire. Harry wears his collar for a magazine photoshoot, and Louis finds out.
I wanna see the way you move for me by therogueskimo (6K): biiiiit filthy. … or the one where Louis gets more than he bargained for after his all black ensemble in Minneapolis.
Daylight by killmymindlarry (5K): Harry misses Louis when he's gone.
Fake smile by daffodilwine (3K): the canon fic about the time Harry begged for 20 minutes to keep his lipstick on for Jimmy Kimmel and they didn't let him.
You know when you thank someone for saving their life, giving a hope to live & for being the comfort person that has become a safe space to hide and then rise again, there has to be a deep reason behind it. Thank you for giving me my reason to hold on and keep my head up even when I'm all alone. Thank you for being the one to look up to when they trynna break my heart. Thank you for helping me embrace that love is only for the brave and if not anyone, I'll at least always have you on the other side of these high walls.
