[ohpleaselarry]

you know it’s an ohpleaselarry fic when…

I was tagged by @brightgolden to make a moodboard that gives the vibe of my writing! This was really fun and gave me a nice insight to the things that could probably use a change lmao.

In order of top to bottom, left to right:

• sharing clothes - obviously I used the Umbro pic. Sharing clothes is in probably every fic I’ve done

• lap sitting - whether it’s riding, lap kissing, or play-fighting, I love a good lap sit.

• Louis smoking - I have no excuses. Pot or cigs, he’s smoking in most of my fics.

• protectiveness - this is a bit broad, but I’m a sucker for protectiveness in all different forms. Usually it’s Louis protecting Harry more obviously, but they’re rather protective of each other in most things I write, no matter the universe.

• flowers - usually pretty yellows, such as sunflowers, daffodils, begonias, as they’re my favourites. I love flowers.

• cuddling - self explanatory. Cuddles are mandatory.

• smut - reckon I’ve written maybe two fics without smut? I chose this photo bc the smut usually has d/s or bdsm undertones, if not just plainly those things. Sometimes it’s light, like holding wrists or hair pulling, and other times it’s..not light lol

• winter - I only recently realised this, but 90% of my fics are set in winter, or autumn turning to winter. It’s my favourite season, and it inspires me a lot, so it makes sense. Also, this bleeds into clothes sharing, as it’s quite easy to write coat sharing in haha

• angst - even the happiest of my fics have a touch of angst. I don’t have an excuse, I just love a good cry scene lol

I love this! I’m tagging everyone who sees this bc I’d love to see everyone’s, and also: @cyantific @pocketsunshineharry @chloehl10 @evilovesyou @louloubabys1992 @thelesserneptune @greenblueish @thinlinez

#mutual games

[mercurial-madhouse]

You know it’s a Mercury fic when...

Louis curses every other word

a little (or a lot) of magic is involved

wit and snark ooze from every scene because they can’t help it

there’s enough pining to replant the rainforest

Niall always ends up being the best character

The boys can’t get their shit together

Wild settings ensue: dystopian/post-apo/or *gasp* supernatural canon

Blood and injury and wild action scenes pepper the plot

Happy endings occur (AKA: The boys get their shit together)

Serious angst and slow-burn the whole way

Unexpected spit-taking hysterical moments

Enough literal and metaphoric fire to burn the forest of pining down

Mystery hides inside an enigma bathing inside a Rubik’s cube

This was super hard to do. Thanks for the shoutout to do it, @zannithinks ! Have any of you lovelies not done this yet, @lululawrence or @larry-hiatus or @allwaswell16 or @beelou @kingsofeverything or @ladyaj-13 or @louandhazaf or @londonfoginacup or @louloubabys1992 or @sadaveniren? (You’ve probably all done it actually, but still. Thought that counts, right?)

Find A Word - WIP Game

An eon ago I was tagged by @justanothershadeofblue & @greenblueish to do the word search thing! I Had a lot of WIPs to search through so I apologise in advance for the length of this. Here are some snippets with the words I was given! Let me know your fave and which one you're most curious about! :D Tagging: @eeveelouu @disgruntledkittenface @runaway-train-works @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @lululawrence @crinkle-eyed-boo @kingsofeverything @haztobegood @scrunchyharry @beelou @soldouthaz @risthebrave @louloubabys1992 @alwaysxlarrie @justalarryblog @fallinglikethis @fournipplesau @theisolatedlily @allwaswell16 @sadaveniren @louandhazaf @cyantific @jacaranda-bloom @larry-hiatus @loulovehome @thinlinez Your words are: Feel - Sound - Neck - Home

GENTLE

Once the Dark Divides The fingers on his chin are gentle. Louis still jumps at the firm contact guiding him to tilt up and see Harry’s face. A face he’s seen a thousand times before, at every age and every emotion. A face he thought he knew well. This Harry may as well be a stranger in his friend’s body, the strict line of his mouth and an ebony glint in his eye that warns of depth hidden beneath the green. Harry’s fingers hold Louis just tight enough to keep him stable. He could probably get out of the hold if he tried. He doesn’t try.

GLASS

The Sound the Sea Makes The glass shatters into diamonds at his feet. He doesn’t feel the shards of crystal slicing into his soles or the water slicking the cold floor when he falls to it. His entire life source is cut in half. The essence of his being is petrified in shock. His hand cradles the spot on his neck he’s never thought much about, a name on his lips he’s never stopped knowing.  Louis.

FLOWER

The Top of Your Lungs This pack is one of the woods. They know how to weave through trees and climb branches, their fingers deft in the art of weaving flower stems and wielding axes. 

GIGGLE

If I Could Fly Just as the heat starts to build again, Louis digs his fingers into Harry’s soft sides. The kiss breaks off as Harry yelps, squirming as he gasps with giggles in an attempt to get away.  “Mercy, fucking mercy,” Harry pleads, only for the sneaky boy to flip Louis over and return the attack with mischievous fingers.  “You little shit,” Louis giggles beneath him, bracketed by Harry’s knees and adjusting to the weight of him in his lap.   If Louis had a kryptonite, it would be Harry’s laughter. So even when every muscle still aches from falling fifty feet, when it hurts to laugh and he has to duck under his fringe to hide a flinch as Harry’s fingers find hidden injuries, he doesn’t stop. If anything he encourages him to keep going just to make the bright moment last longer. 

EAT

Black Silk “Louis?”  Louis hums, too weak for words. He blinks slow. Harry’s face hasn’t changed by the time his eyes open again. That permanent frown with a deep line across his forehead.  “You, uh. Your…” Harry trails off, struggling. Louis should be concerned, he knows he should be, and maybe he will once he eats. He eyes the table from where he lays and the distance looks comparable to the Sahara. He won’t make it. Maybe he just needs a nap. Yeah, sleep. He should sleep.

RAIN

If My Heart Were Mine The cold glass on his cheek brings him back to the window bench. The bottom of his stomach is a tar pit of heavy disgust.  “You’ve no right to be jealous,” Harry says softly, thoughts churning like murky water, words filling his lips before he knows what they are. Louis tilts his head, leans in closer as the look on his face finally turns softer with boyish honesty. “Don’t I?”  Maybe it’s the room they’re in, maybe it’s the reason they’re there at all. Maybe it’s the rain on the window pane. It’s impossible to know why the words come out the way they do when Harry says, “It would have been you if you were there.” 

FLUSH & WISH

If My Heart Were Mine “Louis, you’re not listening-”  “Fuck you! You’re the one not fucking answering the question.”  “There’s more to it-”  “Yes or no!”  Liam meets Harry’s eyes over Louis’s shoulder. They are swimming with tears of guilt. It is the worst thing Harry has ever seen.  “No,” Harry says because that’s the only answer there is.  Louis turns to him, chest heaving from yelling, face flushed with it.  Liam’s shoulders slump in defeat.  “No,” Harry says again, voice cracking on the single syllable. Limb by limb his body is consumed with emotion. He shakes his head, blinking away hot tears and gripping the doorway for support.  “What’s going on?”  Harry looks into the corridor where the question came from. Niall stands under harsh fluorescents that remark on every crease of his serious face. Harry wishes desperately to rewind the past five minutes. He shouldn’t have come down here, he shouldn’t have got on this boat. He should have stayed in the deep still-water of the ocean where he didn’t have to endure the pain of existing. He can’t take it. He can’t even stand. Leaning heavily on the wall is not enough to keep the weight of every second he's been alive dragging him to the floor. He shrinks until he’s curled inward, chest heaving, on the cold tiles.  “Tell them,” Louis snarls from somewhere above. “Tell them how you lied about everything we’re doing.”

[larrydoinglaundry]

I've been tagged by @neondiamond & @stylesthebrave and possibly some others to share a snippet!

I'm tagging @brightgolden @larrysballetslippers @louloubabys1992 @thebreadvansstuff @wabadabadaba @larrieblr

This is from the only project I'm currently writing, aka LIAW sequel. It doesn't have a name yet, so.

If you don't want ANY spoilers, you can skip! But this one doesn't exactly spoil anything major, it's from the beginning and is mostly just setting the tone. All mistakes are mine, this has not been beta-read yet.

Putting it under a cut just in case.

Midsummer’s quite minimal compared to other holidays such as Christmas, and the decorations mostly consist of flower bouquets and small birch trees or their branches in vases. The decoration and beauty come from the milieu itself; the rousing flames of the bonfires, golden beams of midnight sun painting the reflections of the lakes, and the dew of the dawn. 

That’s all it really needs, but Harry likes simple flower bouquets and crowns to really lure out the spirit of the summer. 

Everything about the holiday makes his heart long for love. 

It was never a huge thing back at home, even though he was aware of the fest. Spending his first Nordic Midsummer gazing at a bonfire with a girl he liked at the age of 15, made him realize he would always be romanticizing the hell out of this specific holiday. 

“Harry?” Maria calls out from somewhere behind him. 

His undying attention on the flower he’s currently wrapping around the wire, Harry doesn’t look up. “Mm?”

“I know you’d rather make the crowns but could you lend me a helping hand with the benches?” 

“Of course. Give me a second.”

Harry tapes the wrapped flower on the wire and sets the crown on the bench next to him. Getting up, he wipes his fingers on his shorts and makes his way to where Maria is. She is, much to his displeasure, dragging around a large wooden bench all on her own like she just didn't have patience to wait another second. Harry tuts, “You shouldn’t work so much.”

“I’m not dying, Harry.”

“You almost were!”

“Oh, come on, don’t be so dramatic,” Maria scoffs, though it’s dripping with affection she’s only ever storing for him. “My radiation therapy ended months ago. I’m healthy as a horse.”

Rolling his eyes, Harry grabs the other end of the bench, though he’s pretty sure he could carry it on his own if he just found the balance. He has a feeling Maria doesn’t want to just watch from the sidelines, though. “Where do you want it?”

“Somewhere closer to the beach where you can see the bonfire.”

“Alright.” 

Insisting he’d be the one to walk backwards, Harry tries to peers over his shoulders so he wouldn’t trip onto anything. Despite his traitorous balance and Maria’s understandably weakened physique, they somehow manage to drag the bench onto the beach. 

"Thank you, darling. I'll manage from here."

Harry wants to argue but if there's something he knows about Maria, it's to not even try to argue with her. 

"Okay. Just tell me if you need anything," Harry says with a small smile, making his way back to his crafting project. It keeps him distracted enough from the flood of emotions that's been building up inside of him for about a week now. 

It's not too long until he sees Maria from the corner of his eye, just standing by the other end of the bench. "Why the long face? It's your favorite holiday."

Harry shrugs. "Just tired."

Maria's scoff sounds almost obnoxious but Harry knows it's only because she knows he's lying. He wonders why does he even bother trying to make shit up, there's no way she is buying any of it. He's always been a terrible liar anyway.

She sits on the bench next to him with a heavy sigh. "You know I don't buy it."

The corner of Harry's mouth curls up. "I know. Wouldn't expect any less."

Even in the midst of battling breast cancer, she would always worry for Harry. Was always calling him, asking how he’s doing and if the yearning for Louis is getting any better. Harry didn’t want her to do any of that, not when she had her own shit to deal with, something that was much more serious than his broken heart. 

For the past ten years she has been Harry’s other mother, grandmother more like. She has always been there for him, no matter what he was dealing with. Whether it was ‘just’ a crush who didn’t like him back, or the love of his life who left him. 

Harry wanted to return the favor but it was impossible for him to leave Manchester during the semester and every time he called her to send love and strength, she would somehow flip the conversation to him, swearing to him that she’s doing alright. 

"What's going on then?" she asks after observing him for several seconds. 

Harry shrugs again. "I don't know."

The silence on Maria's end makes Harry glance towards her. He sees her cocked eyebrow, so he vigorously adds, "I really don't!"

"Yes, you do. You just don't wanna say."

“I don’t wanna complain about the same things over and over again,” Harry murmurs, grabbing yet another flower and starts to wrap it around the wire. 

“Well. Sometimes you gotta. Until they’re truly out of your system.”

“And then I’m only going to overload your system.”

Maria snorts. “Honey, I’ve been an uncertified therapist before you were even born. I know how to keep my system running.”

Harry smiles the smallest bit, reaching for the flower tape to attach the flower. The smile quickly dies out, as everything he has tried to more or less ignore, floods into his mind. 

"I just… There’s just a lot going on. Having to say goodbye to this place, having to find a new job, having a bit of a crisis over wasting so many years studying something I never wanted to in the first place… Having to start a new life all alone.”

“Mm. I imagine it’s a lot. I remember what it was like," Maria offers for reassurance. "You always talked about moving to London though, you were very excited about it.”

“I know and I am excited about it, I just– I imagined it’d happen differently. Sarah and I were supposed to do it together but now she’s moving in with Mitch. In here. Niall’s going home to Ireland, he has a girl there. And it’s all great, don’t get me wrong but… With everything changing, I just feel alone. Like everyone has someone to share it all with except me.”

uh... this also means it’s a lot (50) of words so... (including those up top) @lululawrence @disgruntledkittenface @scrunchyharry @mercurial-madhouse @haztobegood @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @a-brighter-yellow @fallinglikethis @larryyouknow @local-troubled-writer @cyantific @brightgolden @behindmeday @larry-hiatus @evilovesyou @quelsentiment @laynefaire @adidassquad @theisolatedlily @vintageumbroshirt @solvetheminourdreams @falsegoodnight @soldouthaz @dryourtearsaway @runaway-train-works @bluecolouredlou @kingsofeverything @harrystinyshorts @louloubabys1992 @ladyaj-13 @princelyharry @afterglowslouis @beckydoesthings @jacaranda-bloom @birdstattoo @justalarryblog @oldbay-on-apples @allwaswell16 @neondiamond @larrysballetslippers @beelou  @helloamhere @londonfoginacup @crinkle-eyed-boo @sadaveniren @cyantific @fournipplesau @homosociallyyours @jaerie @louandhazaf

Liam snorts as he takes the last sip of his drink, ice clicking in the bottom of the glass as he sets it down. “Lou used to break up with him for a weekend just so he could go around eating spoonfuls of peanut butter without worrying about killing him.”

First Lines!

thank you @greenblueish for the tag!

Rules: Post the first lines of your last 10 fics posted to AO3. (Sort by date posted.) If you have less than 10 fics posted, post what you have.

• too much, but it’s enough

Louis’ wearing Burberry.

• don’t know it’s lost til you find it

“You know when you’re with that someone, that person you can just completely be yourself with, and you just feel absolutely like, free?”

• Lonely Shadow Dancers

The venue is empty and barren of any hoards of screaming fans.

• larry a-z chapter 14

The lanterns on the walls flicker, the orange flame being bled with blues and greens, colours shifting and swaying on their own accord.

• night song

In the kingdom of Ingary, where fairytales have come true and witchcraft is commonplace, sits the small village of Market Chipping.

• boy for sale

Harry keeps his eyes trained on the floor, curls falling over and covering his face.

• I’ll be home tonight

There’s enough snow piled on the windscreen that the inside of the car has been reduced to a soft blue dim.

• slip into your arms

It’s fucking freezing, and Louis’ fingers have gone numb.

• deux fantômes

It began with a headache.

• imagines just sailing away (away, away)

The screen above the bar flashes, reds and blues and yellows popping behind cartoon lettering.

this was so fun! intros and endings are always so enjoyable to write for me so it’s interesting to see them all in a line like that :)

I’m not sure who’s done it, but I’m tagging @brightgolden @cyantific @pocketsunshineharry @chloehl10 @evilovesyou @louloubabys1992 @thelesserneptune @thinlinez

“I know how it appears,” Louis insists. 

The inspector raises his eyebrow. “Do you, now?” 

Louis breathes deeply through his nose, lips pursed tightly. A hand fists at his hip while the other rubs his brow to hide his face and the small curse he lets out under-breath. Christ. 

He meets the pale blue eyes of the inspector he’s called upon, the one he’s seen speak with Eldrick on many an occasion. Without his hat, held now under arm in proper decorum, his tousled blond locks give him a boyish appearance helped by the permanent ruddiness of his cheeks. 

Louis stands to his full height and forces his head high, using every ounce of his determination to keep from dismissing the matter entirely. He is a Duke, and if things are to continue as has been laid out for him he shall be Prince Consort of Vienna. 

Both hands return to his hips in a grip strong enough to stifle their tremor. “I am a reasonable man, I would not implore your services if I did not believe the validity of their need.” 

“Reckon that to be true, Your Grace.” The inspector shifts his weight and the dim evening light of the palace glints on the brass buttons of his navy wool coat. He tilts his head, not in disrespect but with seeming earnest perplexion. “However, to what end do you expect me to chase after a phantom?” 

With his jacket tossed in the nervous pacing he’d indulged in earlier, Louis’s fingers dig tightly into his silk waistcoat and leave little doubt he’s adding to the bruises littering his skin beneath. Pain shoots from where his teeth bite so harshly into his tongue he’s at risk of losing the thing entirely. His eyes heat in frustration, a dull ache of shame throbs behind his temples, and yet he can not force himself to laugh this all off as a daft joke. 

“The impetus is sinister or simple tomfoolery, all I wish of you is to parse together which is the root of it all.” Louis explains as calmly and reasonably as possible. 

The inspector, and bloody hell Louis should know his name by now after the number of times he’s surely been introduced throughout the years at Eldrick’s side, merely shifts his weight with an equally deep breath as though keeping himself from saying his true thoughts on the matter. Louis appreciates the control the man has to at the least carry on this conversation without making a fool of Louis. He’s done a rather good job of that himself, he thinks. 

“To be clear, you wish me to track down the ghost of Your Grace’s likeness and inquire after their intentions?” 

Louis’s mouth is parched at the mention of it. Of the shadowy figure that’s been looming around him for a fortnight, the shocking discovery just two days ago when he’d abruptly come face to face with it as though encountering a transparent mirror and realised he was looking into his own eyes. It’s yet to say anything, this phantom, but it’s constant lingering presence has done enough to shake Louis to the core. 

At first it was a glimpse at the end of long corridors or a flash of movement in an empty room as he passed by, yet it’s grown in proximity and frequency until he’s caught sight of it nearly every hour of the day. Always watching, always a step or two closer. His throat tightens at the mere thought of what will happen when it finally reaches him, the fear of such an encounter having driven him to call upon the inspector for this very meeting.

Louis nods small, his bolstered determination weakening at the plain address of the matter. Hopefully his sincerity shines through and is what makes the inspector remain solemn faced instead of laughing his arse off at this claim. 

The inspector shifts his hat into both hands, fondling it idly as he rocks on his heels towards the door. “I shall do my best, Your Grace, but please do not expect miracles from a bloke lacking in experience with the spiritual. In fact, the only man I’m aware of capable of bringing back the dead is in Burgtheater, perhaps I shall start there with an inquiry on how to proceed.”

Louis’s face asks the question he’s thinking well enough.

From the doorway the inspector smiles fondly as he explains, “A travelling magician has taken residency there, he’s to preform tricks of the likeness you are experiencing. Perhaps yourself and the Crown Prince may enjoy such a show to laugh off these encounters of yours as the jest they are.”

Moonlit Reverie

A fic by MyEnglishRose on AO3 | @lwtisloved on Tumblr | @myenglishrose_ on Twitter

21k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Louis has always dreamed of getting kissed under the Eiffel Tower since he was a child. After ending a long-term relationship, he decides to treat himself to his dream trip to Paris and finds a lonely handsome stranger staring at the Eiffel Tower surrounded by other couples. He never thought he would ask a complete stranger if they could kiss under the glowing tower without even knowing each other but there he was.

A fic by jacaranda_bloom on AO3 | @jacaranda-bloom  on Tumblr | @jacaranda_bloom on Twitter

28k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Louis’ job should be simple. Harry Styles, one of the top ranking tennis players in the world, is every publicist's perfect client. He’s charismatic, enigmatic, and fit as fuck. The darling of the media, a national treasure, and a sponsor's wet dream. He’s also a goofball with the kindest heart, sweet, and polite, and singularly focused on achieving his goals.

There are just two minor problems. Firstly, Louis' debilitating crush on said client. And secondly, Harry has just accidentally Instagrammed a picture of his dick to his 18 million followers. So no, Louis’ job is anything but simple.

OR the one where Louis is Harry’s highly strung publicist and has a thing for his client, Harry is an international sports star and has a thing for his publicist, Liam and Zayn have a thing for each other, and Niall wishes everyone would just get their shit together.

Your Little Flower

A fic by loulicate on AO3 | @loulicate-recs on Tumblr | @loulicaterecs on Twitter

18k | Mature | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Louis is the tiny spring fairy, too bad he falls in love with the bulky human who owns the pretty garden in the village.

Best Colours For Your Portrait

A fic by sevenfeetpirates on AO3 | @sevenfeetpirates on Tumblr | @hoaxdagger on Twitter

38k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Louis bites his lip in, his eyes leaving Harry's face, they are cast low as he takes a deep breath before sighing, "In solitude, I felt the liberty you spoke of."

"But," The omega glances up, his eyebrows twitching as he brings his face closer to Harry's neck to overpower the alpha's scent with his scent, "I mostly felt your absence."

(A Portrait Of A Lady On Fire au where Harry has to make a portrait of Louis for his arranged marriage)

My hand’s at risk, I fold

A fic by louloubaby92 on AO3 | @louloubabys1992 on Tumblr

15k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

The average journey time by train between Milan and London is 17 hours and 38 minutes, with around 10 trains per day. On the other hand, it takes an average of 27 hours, 26 minutes to travel from Rome to London St-Pancras by train, over a distance of around 892 miles (1436 km).

Louis was expecting a neck cramp, fidgeting passengers and a long boring journey back home. He never expected the world to fall into chaos. He never expected Harry.

untamed hearts align

A fic by falsegoodnight on AO3 | @falsegoodnight on Tumblr | @falsegoodnight on Twitter

56k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

For as long as Louis has known her, Lady Margaret Tomlinson has had two aspirations for the remaining years of her life. The first was to out-dress the Duchess of Kent at every soirée and gathering. The second was to marry off her omega nephew to the most honorable – and highly ranked – alpha suitor she could find.

He does not expect for her to arrange a marriage between him and the crown prince, and he certainly does not expect to fall for him.

Everything changes when Harry disappears.

young and sweet

A fic by lilliandherself on AO3 | @vogueharrystan on Tumblr | @vogueharrystan on Twitter

6k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Louis sees his ex at the carnival and thinks that he must be the solution to his problem.

Pledge to the Wretched

A fic by tomlinvelvet on AO3 | @afterglowslouis on Tumblr | @louistarglow on Twitter

96k | Explicit | Louis/Harry | Tumblr post | Twitter post

Harry turned around with a tall glass loosely held in his hand, and started to pour other liquids in it, all without taking his eyes off Louis. “I’m a bartender. Do you really think I’d know shit about reverse psychology?”

 There was a twinkle within Harry’s eyes, as if he enjoyed the conversation he was having. It made something stir in Louis and he had to dig his fingers into his forearms to hold in a whimper.

 Whenever he felt overwhelmed, or on the brink of losing control, his mouth tended to lose its filter. He shouldn’t be saying anything about his job, not when he was vulnerable and was about to gulp down another glass of alcohol. And yet he did exactly that. “If there’s one thing my job told me not to do is judge a book by its cover,” he muttered, blue irises focused on mossy green ones, and he licked his lip, feeling his toes curl into his shoes when Harry followed the movement of his tongue with dark, unblinking eyes.

OR; In the process of solving a murder, Louis falls in love with the man responsible.
