Walk That Mile by purpledaisy | 149k | Explicit
Harry stares at him, the line of his jaw standing out scarily. “I wanted to get the most out of this trip so I planned it carefully.” His voice is low and steady and somehow that’s worse than when he was yelling. “So far, you’ve put your sticky fingers on everything I’ve tried to do.”
“Sticky fingers?” Louis repeats, offended. “Are you saying it’s my fault you got stung by a bee? Had you been alone you would have gotten halfway to the Dotty Diner and ran the car off the road because of an allergic reaction, so don’t go blaming me.”
“Polk-A-Dot Drive In,” Harry spits before getting out of the car. He slams the door shut with a deafening reverb and Louis rolls his eyes.- A Route 66 AU where falling in love was never part of the plan.
Unbelievers by isthatyoularry | 136k | Explicit
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.

Louis narrows his eyes at Harry. “What that supposed to be a fucking joke?”
Harry narrows his eyes right back. “It was a good joke.”
Louis rolls his eyes. “Jokes require laughter, Curls.” Louis glances down at Harry’s thighs again, Christ. “Your pants must be so tight they’re restricting airflow to your brain.”
Harry wipes a bead of sweat off his forehead. “Pretty sure yoga is supposed to increase airflow, blood flow, and all that,” he responds dryly, finally jumpstarting himself and walking away from Louis towards his own bedroom.
Louis can’t help but stare at his broad back, still sheen with drying sweat, and his perky bum in the tight yoga pants.
Louis swallows. Christ.
...Or, the one where Harry and Louis are unlikely uni flatmates who definitely don't like each other and definitely won't fall in love (even if Liam and Niall think otherwise).
Our Lives, Non-Fiction by indiaalphawhiskey | 113k | Explicit
Heralded as the next Neil Gaiman, Louis Tomlinson does not appreciate being told that his very serious novel is in dire need of a PR boost. Even worse, that it comes in the form of a joint book tour with the UK’s #1 online romance-writing sensation Marcel Styles. Already turbulent at best, their partnership takes a drastic turn when, overly stressed about his looming deadline, Marcel accidentally blurts out a secret: though he’s famed for his scorching hot literary love scenes, he is, actually, a virgin.
Convinced that the only way to rid himself of writer’s block is to gain some experience, Marcel asks Louis, author-to-author, to sleep with him – for Science. And of course Louis agrees because, well, what on Earth could possibly go wrong?
Or, a lesson in romance that proves that sometimes the best love stories aren’t always by the book.
Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can't Lose by dolce_piccante | 112k | Mature
American Uni AU. Harry Styles is a frat boy football star from the wealthy Styles Family athletic dynasty. A celebrity among football fans, he knows how to play, he knows how to party, and he knows how to fuck (all of which is well known among his legion of admirers).
Louis Tomlinson is a student and an athlete, but his similarities to Harry end there. Intelligent, focused, independent, and completely uninterested in Harry’s charms, Louis is an anomaly in a world ruled by football.
A bet about the pair, who might be more similar than they originally thought, brings them together. Shakespeare, ballet, Disney, football, library chats, running, accidental spooning, Daredevil and Domino’s Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end?
Dance to the Distortion by Lis (domesticharry) | 96k | Explicit
Louis accidentally breaks Harry's camera lens and in order to get it fixed, they decide to participate in a romantic couples study. The only issue is that they are not actually couple. Well that and the fact they cannot stand each other.
You’ve Got My Devotion (Hate You Sometimes) by lucythegoosey | 95k | Explicit
Harry was in the biggest boy band in the world. He was also one half of the best (or worst, depends on who you ask) kept secret relationship in the music industry.
Now, almost five years on, after One Direction has broken up, and Harry and Louis' relationship has as well, a video threatens to put everything at risk.
One determined Irishman, a massive publicity stunt and two begrudging exes are all it takes to bring One Direction back to life and maybe, just maybe, Harry and Louis' mangled love life too.
Or: Harry and Louis are forced to fake-date after an old video from when they were dating emerges.
The Sidelines by RedRidingStiles | 47k | Explicit
"Alright, I know you guys are the best of friends but I'd like you to do this for the rest of the team,” Cowell says, making the rest of the team snicker. "So I want both of you to compliment each other." "I hate your trainers. I mean that in the nicest way possible. They're very...yellow," Louis says, arms crossed as he offers a fake close-lipped grin. "It's really nice of you to blow anyone you find slightly attractive," Harry replies, a sickening sweet smile on his lips. "Thank you, children, let me remind you this is a college hockey team. Try again," Coach says, completely unamused.
Or Harry and Louis play hockey for Penn state and can't stand one another, since they can't keep their hatred off the ice their coach and team do what they can to keep their hard earned spot in the playoffs and their two star players from killing each other
Wonderwall by AFangirlFantasy | 43k | General Audiences
Taking the sheet cluttered with times available for the next few weeks, Louis notices a pattern in the list. The name of the person Perrie had just mentioned: Harry Styles. It’s written at least seven times, and three of which are during timeframes Louis wants.
“Who the fuck is Harry Styles?”
“You’re about to find out,” she answers, pointing over Louis’ shoulder.
Or a Love/Hate College AU where Louis Tomlinson is the lead singer of The Rogue - the most popular band on campus - and Harry Styles is the talented Freshman unknowingly challenging all that.
All the Right Moves by cherrystreet | 32k | Explicit
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.
Nicotine by KrisStylinson | 32k | Explicit
"We're two different types of people, Liam. He likes sex and drugs, I like theater and tea. Trust me, we'd never date." Except they would, they do, and neither of them plans on letting go anytime soon.
"Just because you can get me hard doesn't mean I like you," Louis whispered. The fact was, he didn't like Harry right now, not at all. Not even a bit.
"Yeah, yeah," Harry murmured, his breath fanning over Louis' cock as he spoke. "You done telling me how much you hate me so I can suck you off?"
Like Candy In My Veins by littlelouishiccups | 31k | Explicit
“Um…” Harry said slowly after a moment. “Okay. That’s… this is… Let me get this straight.” He lifted up a hand and swallowed. “You told your family that you have a boyfriend… and my name was the first one you thought of?” “Harry Potter was on TV, alright? It wasn’t that much of a stretch.” Louis pinched the bridge of his nose. He couldn’t believe he was explaining himself to Harry fucking Styles. He couldn’t believe he was stooping this low. “Forget it. I’m sorry I even thought about bringing you into this.”
Harry snorted. “What? Did you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend or something?”
(Basically the A/B/O, enemies to lovers, fake relationship, Christmas AU that nobody asked for.)
We're Like Bumper Cars by sincehewaseighteen | 31k | Explicit
“I have won, I won the final cross country. I win, Harry--”
“Whoever gets to fucking nationals wins it, pretty boy,” Harry teases. “You haven’t won. Interhouse is nothing compared to nationals, or interstate. You haven’t even won interschool. You can dream all you fucking want that you’ve won.”
Louis becomes so ignorant he decides to no longer eye the boy taunting him. “Trophies prove it all, Styles.”
“Where’s your trophy for biggest asshole?”
“Where’s yours for winning cross country?”
Harry growls before hooking his fingers in Louis’ belt loops and bringing them together for a flat kiss.
Or the AU where Louis and Harry are rivals of the century and Cross Country competitors before things get complicated and they play pretend.

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are the bane of each other's existences. Unfortunately, they're already in love--even if they aren't completely aware of this minor detail.

“Should we tell him?”
When Lauren is met with everyone either nodding their heads or shrugging, she takes a deep breath. “I mean, I think it’s pretty obvious by now.” She stalls, sounding ominous and Louis doesn’t like it one bit.
“What is obvious by now?” Louis asks. He’s starting getting anxious. “I swear to God, spit it out. Stop being so damn cryptic.”
“I—We think it’s pretty obvious that you’re in love with Harry,” she states simply and shrugs as if she isn’t telling him he’s in love with the second—Nick being the first—most annoying person on the planet.

This time as his stomach rolls, there’s no doubt about it. He’s going to vomit. And if he does, it’ll be on Louis’ shoes, a nice little parting gift to go with the embarrassment he’s caused the both of them. “I’m gonna throw up,” he says just as Louis turns to look at him, blue eyes swimming with shock and confusion, and asks, “Is that true?”
Or, in a rush of bravery only senior year can bring, Harry confesses his feelings in a letter to his neighbor and best friend, Louis, only for the entire school to hear it and laugh him out of their small town in Wisconsin. Ten years later, Harry's a successful lawyer at Columbia Records, coming home for Christmas for the first time since he departed for college. He plans to work his way through the trip, eat his mom's cooking, and avoid everyone from his past for as long as possible. The only problem is best laid plans hardly ever go as intended.

32 Attitudes That Sabotage Weight Loss
It's time to detect them to finally untie the knot of weight loss!
This is a very long post. Please be patient and take your time. I have a lot of useful links and PDF downloads.
Please bookmark my Tumblr to get more info in the future about PhenQ and weight loss.
I need more time to write something good!
They are on the kitchen counter, on the office desk, on the bedside table in the room, and inside your head.
Worse: as they are not usually directly related to weight gain, these clutter sabotage efforts to lose weight year after year.
1. "Only kill yourself for a few months"
There are two kids behind this reasoning, very widespread among those who want to wipe out the measures. Firstly, too restrictive regimes or heavy workouts are difficult to adopt.
"Then you have the following: the incorporation of balanced habits should not be seen as something temporary," says physical education professional Antonio Herbert Lancha Jr., author of the book The End of Diets (Ed. Abril).
"Otherwise, you may even lose weight, but you will regain weight once you restore the old pattern."
2. Do not plan
Food behavior expert Brian Wansink often asks clients and research volunteers how many food decisions they think they make each day.
"They respond between 20 and 25. But they make around 200, mostly unconsciously," notes the scientist, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University in the United States. When stating a goal, design the choices that will lead to compliance.
Example: If you want to have fruit at home, you need to make time to go to the market.
3. Unrealistic Promises
"In the fight against obesity, motivation is fundamental," says psychiatrist Adriano Segal of the Brazilian Association for the Study of Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome.
To keep it high, look for possible targets to be hit without so much suffering.
"The choice must come from the individual, not from the professional," recalls Cynthia Antonaccio, a nutritionist at Equilibrium Consultoria and one of the authors of Behavioral Nutrition (Ed. Manole).
You can determine that you will swallow at most one serving of potato chips per week.
4. Messy agenda
Leaving to buy vegetables only "when given time" culminates in a pantry full of biscuits and instant noodles. Yes, our daily schedule is full of chores, but two verbs help find space for weight-loss attitudes: prioritize and organize.
Think about going to the fair or exercising as related tasks and outlining your routine to see where to fit them.
Maybe you do not notice that just giving up social media for a moment of the day already gains time to take care of the body. Learn more: Exercise is medicine for sickness - World Health Day | Health is Vital
5. Empty kitchen
In his book, Brian Wansink recounts the case of a journalist who reported to his services to win the dispute with the scale.
When he said he'd take a look at her kitchen, he heard, "This room is not the problem because it is always empty." But that is where deception lives.
"If the refrigerator is deserted, people order pizza or sandwiches, even when they just want a snack," notes Wansink.
Now, do not think your house is forbidden from harboring any remnants of goodies. Ideally, most foods should be light. However, there is room for small indulgences.
How to store
Believe it or not: the probability of snatching the first item you see in the closet is five times greater than that of eating the fifth. But you can use that to your advantage. Store the vegetables on the shelves more noticeably and save the sweets in the bottom of a drawer.
It's amazing how the eyes define our behaviors.
6. Chaotic environment
Dirty crockery in the sink, leftovers on the countertop, open drawers. Is this description familiar to you? Such attention!
In a survey of the University of New South Wales, Australia, 108 women have left in a zoned or otherwise perfect kitchen - both contained pots of cookies, crackers, and carrots. After a measly ten minutes, the participants in the messy room consumed 53 more calories in cookies.
7. Eating with friends
Let's face it: According to a paper from Cornell University, men fill their belly more (30% more, to be exact) when they feed on a group.
In women, the sensation of being observed has the opposite effect. It is not that, from now on, the lads should only dine in an isolated room.
The message is not to compete to see who gets more bogged down, but to take advantage of the presence of colleagues to keep up the conversation and to give folks calmly.
8. Refer to the show
More than 200 homes in the city of Syracuse in the United States were photographed before Wansink, and her team arrived at the following observation: women who live in a kitchen with a bottle of soda on the bench are on average 11 pounds plumper compared with neighbors free from this temptation.
Those that left a bowl of fruit in the same place were 5 kilos thinner. Got the message?
9. Table sleepers
Never underestimate what a few feet away from the food source do for the waistline.
"The need to get up and walk to the edge of the stove helps us think if we want more, rather than picking up another spoonful of autopilot," says nutritionist Cynthia Antonaccio.
American experiments show that the tactic reduces food intake by about 20%. It is no small thing.
10. Noisy place
At the University of Illinois in the United States, 60 families were recorded during a meal.
Half heard the noise of a vacuum cleaner between a fork and another. The result of martyrdom size? Parents abused cookies, soft drinks and even carrots, a sign of distraction to the extreme.
Curiously, the noise did not influence children's habits, but scientists realized that they received less attention from adults.
11. Delicacy in service
A hidden camera and bullet pots. These were the materials needed for a unique experiment mentioned in the book Slim by Design. For days, office workers were filmed.
At one point, the container with candy was dropped within reach of the employee. In another, he appeared on a table two feet away or hid in a drawer. And did not those 200 centimeters have a consumption of 125 calories less?! Ah, laziness.
12. Failure to clean the dish
Since childhood, we have learned not to leave even a grain of rice left over. It is clear that the waste deserves to be fought in various spheres of society, except that steaming the stomach itself will not solve world hunger.
If you can not reduce the portion from the beginning - or if you have made a mistake - keep the remains for later or offer them to others. And get rid of judgments that stick to weight loss.
13. Reject what you love
In End of Diets, indulgences are called "islands" - after paddling for a while in search of the desired body, you relax and gain breath for the sequence of the journey.
Believe: Allow yourself time and again to get out of the rut, and for example savoring your favorite ice cream can not only integrate the project into getting fit.
The cat's leap is to plan these leaks, so they do not come by rule. "The problem is when there is more island than a sea," jokes Lancha Jr., the author.
14. Chewing on walking
This trap was spotted at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. Experts noted that women who grazed a cereal bar as they wandered down a corridor tended to abuse in sequence.
Compared to volunteers who ate the snack, the walkers swallowed five times more chocolate as they entered a room full of delights. "Distraction makes you feel less full," says Jane Ogden, a psychologist who is responsible for the discovery.
15. Eating Stressed
Tension and anxiety are often confused with the hunger for the brain. Combine this with the fact that the irritation shakes the self-control and that's it: the probability of emptying the ice cream pot goes high.
When stress strikes, grasp the initial urge to open the freezer. You may even choose to relax with a good candlelight dinner, but that decision needs to be rational.
16. Fixed eye on the buffet
After a series of interviews with individuals who have always been thin, the Cornell University class has revealed that they have three times greater tendency to sit with their backs to the platters after passing the self-service queue.
"Watching a lot of customers filling their plates makes me want to repeat," justifies Wansink. In fact, the skinny people he and his colleagues went to tables farther away from the food source.
17. Inattention in line
In the rush of lunch, it is common to thicken the row of zombies that enter the restaurant by the kilo, pick up the cutlery and are already starting to serve.
Instead, try to glimpse all the items to plan your meal. This tactic makes us prefer less dense alternatives. Of breaking, it prevents the classic scene of, after filling the plate, to see more that delight.
Be honest: when it does, you can not resist and just lift a mountain of food, right?
18. Using the scale
Despite the popularity of this instrument, we should not evaluate fitness in pounds.
First because muscle, bone, and even water are denser than fat. So, as you climb the scale, a high, well-hydrated, strong-boned guy is considered to be fatter than another stuffed with lard but weak and lacking in liquids.
Also, the weight varies considerably in the short term due to the accumulation of body fluids and metabolic processes.
The solution? Measure progress with a tape measure or by clothing.
19. Head in the Clouds
When you get to the lunch or dinner table, forget about your problems - and the cell phone notifications. Concentrate on all the reactions fired by the forks.
Is the food hot? Too salty? What's your smell? And the belly, began to fill? By looking at these and other factors, the feeling of satiation is perceived before.
As if that were not enough, the focus helps differentiate delicious foods from those that are not worth the calories they add to the diet.
20. Shopping hungry
Let's go to Cornell University again. Researchers there evaluated 68 volunteers in the market, half of whom had pinched a cereal bar before picking up the cart, while the other did not chew anything.
At box time, some items between classes were similar. The difference was in quality: fasting staff bought 45% more fattening products.
21. Huge Packages
The supposed economy of family-size packaging is expensive.
In another Wansink article, wafer packs of 100 or 400 grams were distributed to viewers in a movie. Those who received the small packages ate 25% less - regardless of the amount, participants used to wipe out the cookie.
22. Light nights
Years ago, the endocrinologist Bruno Geloneze studied the fluctuation of hormones that incite or curb the appetite in women who worked at dawn.
Conclusion: Even after a meal during toil, they maintained high levels of ghrelin, a molecule that makes us eager for treats and gifts. In fact, sleeping poorly also intensifies hunger. Respect the night rest.
23. Cell phone in bed
The presence of the telephone in the room is not contraindicated by the specialists only because it leaves the users connected for more time.
Even when we finally fall asleep, it interferes with the quality of sleep. As well?!
Application warnings that insist on blinking at dawn emit blue light, able to traverse the eyelids and make the home more shallow.
24. Focus on diet only
One beautiful day, the infamous dispute between exercise and diet arose. What slims the most?
From a series of studies came the verdict: driving in food generates other weight loss. However, without moving, lasting results will hardly be won.
Sport raises energy expenditure, which allows less radicalism at the table, and stimulates the body to use body fat as a source of energy. In research, the mix of healthy eating and shaking is what brings the best effects.
25. Academy is the only option
From the reports of obese women who were part of a program at the University of São Paulo (USP), Lancha Jr. revealed that 90% liked physical activity but did not feel well in a traditional weight room, sometimes quite focused on aesthetics.
Thankfully, the exercise universe is not restricted to this type of work, although it favors health. Bet on what is easy, comfortable and pleasurable.
26. Real estate day by day
Think of each displacement as a chance to flatten the abdomen. Change the elevator up to the stairs, walk to the bakery and, as far as possible, incorporate cycling and public transportation.
The caloric burning of the sum of these strategies makes a difference.
A survey by East Anglia University in England indicates that replacing the car by bus, subway and company to go to service ends in 1 pound less. And who went to move for half an hour on foot or bike was 7 kilos thinner!
27. Imitate others
The neighbor's balcony, the secrets of the famous actress. Even if certain strategies worked for them - remember that the human being values successes and masks mishaps - does not mean that they will fit into his schedule.
The path to the target body must be traced according to its particularities. Also, do not suffer if a friend has decreased abdominal circumference in a short time and you do not.
Each organism works in a way, so avoid comparisons.
28. Magic Pills
"The patient, disillusioned with frustrated attempts at weight loss, often lends hope to miraculous solutions that appear on the Internet," observes psychiatrist Adriano Segal.
However, teas, tablets and the like should not be swallowed without medical advice, at the risk of compromising health and failure over the course of a few months. Compressed? Only after talking to the doctor.
29. Living in air conditioning
Do not be surprised. Some studies suggest that the continuous use of this appliance causes accumulation of fat.
If on the one hand, there is no evidence for such an effect, then the theory developed by professionals makes sense. On hot days of the past, you would eat less, because the heat takes away the appetite.
Already in the cold, the metabolism would burn calories to keep us warm. It turns out that air conditioning ensures a pleasant temperature, which would make eating more food and spend less energy.
30. Frustrated by getting fat
"Unfortunately, statistics show that most people who can lose weight regain weight," says Segal.
"The battle against obesity is constant," he says. Do not regard the Abe psychiatrist's message as a bucket of cold water.
On the contrary. Understand that, over time, changes in routine will occur and can take you off the rails for a while. In such cases, do not throw everything up. Get up and go back to balance.
The maintenance of good form, as has already been said in the first item of this report, has no beginning, middle, and end.
The dreaded plateau effect
As the waist circumference decreases, the body becomes more economical. After all, the muscles do not strive so much to carry a lot of fat from one side to another.
There comes a time when the intake and the caloric expenditure are equivalent - it is the plateau effect. Want an easy way around? Increase the intensity of training.
31. Old clothes
In the book The End of Diets, Lancha Jr. says that at the time of the Spanish colonization of the Americas, when soldiers and settlers landed on the new continent, the authorities burned the caravels for them and did not even think about returning to Europe.
"Burn your caravels by donating large items or adjusting them to their current size," he writes. If by chance to recover part of the original weight, the lack of options in the closet serves as a stimulus to resume balanced habits.
32. Going to the lipo
Nothing against who shapes its contours with this operation. Just do not see it as a slimming procedure.
The American Society of Plastic Surgery itself recommends that this is not a weapon against obesity, even because it does not remove visceral fat - the one that is deep in the abdomen and causes the real damage.
More: according to experiments done at USP, sedentary women who underwent liposuction regain weight in six months.
Thank you for your time. I will come back with a detailed PhenQ review in Portugal, translated to English!
