heyyy, i really love your fic recs and i was wondering if you know any secret relationship fics? thanks xx

I can try !

- I'll show you my heart., by arrowtomyheart: an AU where Harry is a famous celebrity and Louis is minding his own business in the streets when he gets knocked over by paparazzi trying to get photos of Harry. (30k, M)

- Behind The Lights , by Tomlinsontoes : Inspired by Maid in Manhattan, but not the same at all. (61k, M)

- Unbelievers, by @isthatyoularry :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. (136k, E)

- We're on fire now, by @lucystarkid : Harry loves Louis. Louis loves Harry. Fantastic, right? It can’t get much better than falling head-long in love with your best friend? Sometimes, falling in love is the easy part. When you’re in the biggest band in the world, and your boss comes from the old school where ‘fans want to date their idols’ nothing is going to be straight forward. Through the tough times, Harry and Louis find that family and friends can do amazing things. Even the worst people can change when pushed. And that as long as it’s built on sturdy foundations, love really can conquer all.Featuring: Harry and Louis in love. Fabulously supportive Gemma. Fierce lioness mum’s. A band of brothers. And Simon being Simon. Set several months in to the iron closet, featuring angst, smut and an eventual happy ending. (40k, E)

- burn to ash , by @bethaboolou : Harry is sitting there, so fucking casual, and Louis realizes in a split second he was not ready. When Harry walked out in Detroit and never looked back, he was a boy verging on a man, still only twenty years old, but there's a man in his place now. Hard and resolute, yes, but still, for the first time in a long time, Louis can kind of see the old Harry in him. The soft, directness of his gaze, the hesitant smile he gives to Lou, the way he wrings his ridiculously large hands in his lap.He's a little bit the eager sixteen year old puppy dog again, his innocence and sweetness resurrected miraculously, and Louis freezes in place. He was prepared to face the asshole Harry. He was prepared to meet a whole new Harry. Louis is not prepared to meet one of the old incarnations of Harry, and it absolutely tears him up.Or the fic where Harry spirals out of control, the band breaks up, and then he shows back up, five years later. (116k, E, past secret relationship)

- Just For Me by @canonlarry : Harry is a supermodel with a fake boyfriend. Louis is the captain and star forward of Manchester United with a fake girlfriend. They should have no problem having a completely platonic lunch between friends.(They do.) (9.5k, E)

- We're Like Bumper Cars, by sincehewaseighteen : Or the AU where Louis and Harry are rivals of the century and Cross Country competitors before things get complicated and they play pretend. (31k, E)

- one more for the stars, by imsosorry : It's different, and Louis knows that, because Harry's got so much riding on this - a career and a future and his whole life. There's talk of him going first overall in the draft, of entering the NFL after only two years in college, of going to New York or Seattle or Green Bay, and Louis wants to be there for him, wants to support him and help him make decisions, but he also kind of wants to pin him to the bed and cry and scream, What about me what about me what about me?(au. Harry's the star quarterback and Louis is about to graduate. It's a heartbreak waiting to happen.) (16k, M)

- Fall Into Your Gravity, by zarah5 : AU. In which Harry is an overnight pop sensation and Louis steals plants, Zayn pulls Liam's proverbial pigtails and Niall's really just pleased there are more girls for him. (74k, E)

- all of our important nothings , by deadspy: Louis stares down at his phone for an eternity before typing out the message. does she know that paper plane necklace was a gift from my mum to you our first christmas together???He immediately regrets sending it. He knows it doesn’t matter. Knows Taylor’s necklace is a cheap knockoff of the one Harry had always worn so proudly— knows the way he’d smiled at it, lifting it slowly from the small box he’d been given it to in, the way Jay had met Louis’ eyes from across the room and winked, how it had dangled from Harry’s neck that night as he rode Louis on his childhood bed, the little silver airplane catching on the lights from cars passing by on the road outside shining into his room and casting soft reds and yellows over Harry’s pale skin.[Harry and Louis are in love, Haylor happens, and Louis battles quite a few demons along the way.] (27k, E)

- 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. (92k, E)

- It's No Secret , by ivorydreams: It's not that Harry and Louis are hiding the fact that they're in a relationship. It's not them being ashamed of each other. People just never noticed.Or the one where no one knows Harry Styles, the 'nerd', and Louis Tomlinson, 'mr. popular football captain', are in a romantic relationship. (3k, M)

- so keep my candle bright , by whisperdlullaby: louis returns to his hometown after four years to find that the reverend’s son has done some growing up of his own. (78k, E)
