— 1D Monthly Fic Roundup —
Hi, and welcome to the 1D Monthly Fic Roundup for September 2023! Below you’ll find 1D fics that were all published this month in the order they were submitted to the blog. We hope you’ll check out these new fics! If you would like to submit your own fic, please check this post on how to submit or visit our blog @1dmonthlyficroundup. You can find all our other posts here.
There were so many links this month that I had to group fics by the same writer together so if you don't see the writer listed, scroll up to find the writer.
Happy reading!
＊ bet on it by @nouies [E, 2k, Louis/OMC]
“We should make a bet,” Louis says out loud, waiting for Dante to look up from his tablet and see Louis’ pouty lips.
“Not a fucking chance.”
or…a fic inspired by Louis at the barricade during AFHF.
＊ Harmony [E, 6k, Louis/Harry]
Alpha Harry and Omega Louis don’t have the most amicable relationship at work. When they get stuck together in an elevator, Harry scents Louis after nothing else works to bring him out of his panicked state.
Their time trapped in the elevator together brings to light some misunderstandings, and maybe some feelings for each other, too.
＊ like a dream but i wasn't asleep by @alwaysxlarrie [G, 2k, Louis/Harry]
It's cold outside and Harry just wants to get into his hotel room and go to bed. It should be a simple task, but it’s made more challenging by his complicated relationship with gravity, a booking mixup, and a really hot guy.
Receptionist Amy is the only victim here.
＊ Calmer Waters by zmmf / @zaynmaliksmiddlefinger [M, 9k+, wip, Zayn/Liam]
Zayn hasn’t been camping in years. Twelve years, to be exact. He’s had his reasons for avoiding the lakeside resort his family used to visit every summer, but with some perspective and his sassy companion of a dog, giving it a go again and facing all that comes with it can’t be all bad…
This has been Liam’s happy place for years; since the very first visit it felt different than all of the other lake vacations his family had bounced around to. Now, having quietly accepted his recent divorce, he wonders if this place will feel the same…
But the last thing either of them expected was to see the other here.
＊ Save Me (from myself) by Imogenlee / @imogenleewriter [E, 159k, Harry/Louis]
The problem with being friends with Liam Payne was that he had a lot of friends... and forced them to be around each other.
When they finished high school, both Louis and Harry were equally relieved that they wouldn't have to tolerate each other constantly or whatever it was that they did.
For five years, it worked out perfectly. They'd only had to see each other a handful of times.
Unfortunately, Liam had to go and get engaged, ask them to both be groomsmen, and then go full groomzilla on their arses. With just twelve weeks to plan the 'perfect' destination wedding and throw every ridiculous pre-wedding celebration Liam and his fiancée stumble across, it was safe to say they were firmly back in each other's lives.
And no one could have predicted that was exactly what they needed.
＊ Tongue Tied by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Louis’ new bestie placed a hand on his shoulder; he turned with a sway and looked into his blue eyes. ”What do you wish?”
The world spun for a moment, and Louis shrugged. It was easy. The only thing he wanted. “I wish that I could tell Harry that I love him, instead of getting all tongue tied and chickening out.”
The Irishman winked. “You never know, your wish may just come true.”
“From your lips to God’s ears, mate.” He gave the man a hug. “I gotta go before my Uber leaves me.”
He stumbled to the door, and that was the last thing he remembered from the night.
＊ I ain't ever fell from a love this tall by @beardyboyzx [G, 733 words, Zayn/Liam]
When he looks at the words, after a few seconds, Zayn feels this sort of relief feather-thrum inside of him — a brief excitement grasping him by the neck, gripping hard, as Zayn’s fingers run over the things he’s just written, admiring how they hold the true nature of his yearnings. And this weird ancestral knowledge Zayn’s got ever since he’s met Liam that first time — before One Direction, before X-Factor, when they were just fourteen and chatting awkwardly waiting for a Happy Meal.
The stupid knowledge that this is it for him. That Liam is it.
＊ It's a rush inside I can't control [G, 733 words, Louis]
Wind is hitting him in the face as Louis runs, freely and carelessly, through the woods.
There’s no one chasing him for once, and he’s got all the time in the world to enjoy how the soil feels under his feet.
＊ you are the magic in me [NR, 2k, Zayn/Liam]
Zayn is eight when he meets the Prince for the first time.
His dad is being knighted — the King has seen the way he fought to defend his village from the enemies of the Kingdom and has decided to gift him a piece of land and a title.
＊ so pretend (pretend) [NR, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Louis has thought about it as soon as he found out Styles was back in the Country — ever since he made sure Styles was still in England, really.
Or: the White Collar/Catch me if you can AU nobody asked for.
＊ Because I Found You by @neondiamond [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Louis stumbles upon a poem Harry wrote about him. A follow-up to Inner Crisis.
＊ Run To You [G, 2k, Harry/Louis]
Harry injures himself while out on a morning run. Louis comes to his rescue.
＊ A Sense of Stability [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Harry and Louis have a very mundane and domestic routine on mornings they get to spend together. Harry loves it.
＊ Family Bonding [G, 1k, Harry/Louis]
Louis forges a bond with his new daughter, June, over missing loved ones. Part 2 of June
＊ Little Moments [G, 429 words, Louis/Harry]
Louis’ birthday is a quiet affair this year, but it’s for good reason.
＊ You Are A Song by @lululawrence [NR, 3k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw]
To Louis, Nick felt like poetry in motion. He was a bit of chaos surrounding Louis’ otherwise monotonous days, and Louis was quickly becoming addicted.
＊ Did You Know I Fit In A Dryer? [NR, 4k, Louis/Jordan North]
“Oi, mate!”
There was some knocking and after the voice coming from right behind him when he had clearly just seen an empty room, Jordan didn’t think he could be faulted for jumping and screaming a bit.
“Mate, can you help me open the door?”
＊ Were You There On That Christmas Night? [NR, 2k, Harry/Louis]
“Thank god you’re here,” Harry said, rushing up to Louis as he tried to have his students join the cacophony being produced by the other year twos that were already in the gymnasium.
“What’s happened now?” Louis asked, quite worried.
Or the one where Harry has some fears regarding the animals present in the school's nativity play.
＊ No Constraints [NR, 863 words, Louis/Greg James]
Louis is really not understanding this particular section of his Vector Calculus course, and his tutor doesn't seem to get what Louis is having a hard time with.
Until he does.
＊ Disenchanted (series) by @hellolovers13 [M, 25k, Harry/Louis]
Witch Harry just trying to live his life. Then there's Louis.
The Potion (Part 1)
If Harry were a calm and collected person, he would simply take the scroll back now and leave. Sadly, his mama had blessed him with lots of wonderful things, his soft curls, his biting green eyes, his magic affinity, but he had not inherited any of her patience.
So instead, he got right up in Hedgehog’s face, thrilling at the fact he had to bend down just the tiniest bit to look into his eyes.
Such a shame, too. This guy had pretty blue eyes and if he wasn't drenched in the stench of The Hunters™, he might've even made a decent fuck, but that was neither here nor there now.
or Harry is a witch minding his own business, Louis is a nuisance.
The Escape (Part 2)
Harry is still minding his own business, Louis is still annoying. Well, fine. Maybe he is the tiniest bit helpful, too.
The Healer (Part 3)
Harry is trying to-
Louis is-
He's going to make it. Harry will make sure of that.
The Curse (Part 4)
Time for Harry to confront his past. Or not?
The Heart (Part 5)
True love isn't something that was ever going to be in the cards for Harry. It finds him anyway.
＊ 1957: here to take my medicine by zita17 / @louisandtheaquarian [E, 2k, Louis/Harry]
Styles - and Louis - are esteemed members of a whole class, an entire community—fuck, it’s being called a generation—who are hellbent on hearing the sound of their own voices reciting their own words.
But this?
The heavenly nothingness that comes when Louis, with all the precision of a surgeon wielding his sharpest scalpel, separates the Harry Styles from all of his fancy words?
This silence is Louis’ greatest poetry.
See, the downside of being the heralded ‘voice of a generation’ is that the voices in Styles’ head never stop.
Except when Louis makes them stop.
Beat poets Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles blow off some steam before a reading. Very loosely inspired by Howl, Ginsberg, Cassady, Kerouac, and the asterisks in Medicine.
＊ 1967: not thinkin' 'bout you all the time [E, 8k, Harry/Louis]
It’s September 1967, the flower children have taken over the Haight, The Beatles are learning to meditate, and their American counterparts travel to an ashram on a California cliffside to do the same. Louis just didn’t expect it to be the new home of their old band member—and his ex, Harry.
When he’d left home four years earlier, Harry never expected to see his childhood friends again, and even though now they’re writing songs around the campfire in earshot of Harry’s cottage, he still doesn’t have to - he can just stay inside and keep meditating. Except that Louis keeps playing the melody of his song.
And one night, Harry breaks.
Loosely inspired by Baby Honey, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the true story behind The Beatles’ Dear Prudence, CCR, and the countercultural revolution.
＊ 1978: i still crave it, you complicated freak [M, 3k, Louis/Harry]
"This man is the music.
He’s the embodiment of millennia of human suffering, purging the tears of mankind through the beads of his sweat.
This is Louis Tomlinson.
And he’s fucking magnificent."
It's September 1978, and the king of glam rock, Harry Styles, sneaks into the show of a man who's defining a whole new genre called punk rock and who, okay, also happens to be his ex. Or, at least, well, it's complicated.
Inspired by Complicated Freak, Velvet Goldmine, whatever David Bowie/Mick Jagger/Iggy Pop/Lou Reed had going on, and a dash of Louis at the barricade.
＊ 1991: don't ask me to talk about [M, 5k, Louis/Harry]
In September 1991, Q&A Magazine publishes a cover story and interview with Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, the stars of the ground-breaking queer indie drama, Muse of Fire, but the real story behind their friendship isn't quite what makes it onto the glossy pages.
Inspired by Talk, My Own Private Idaho - the film and its filming, whatever River and Keanu had going on, and the underbelly of early 90s Hollywood and The Viper Room.
＊ Tell me with your mind, body and spirit by @enchantedlandcoffee [T, 479 words, Harry/Louis]
Two short drabbles in the Coach Tommo Universe about poems. Part 2 of The Coach Tommo Universe
＊ And I Can Lend You Broken Parts That Might Fit [G, 551 words, Louis/Harry]
Louis and Harry talk about Harry's life after becoming pregnant, and a key figure in Harry's life. Part 3 of The Coach Tommo Universe
＊ Like this with a tight grip by @enchantedlandcoffee [E, 146 words, Louis/Harry]
A smutty drabble with a jealous Louis and an impromptu heart to heart. Part 4 of The Coach Tommo Universe
＊ Hold On I Still Need You [T, 1k, Louis/Harry]
"Please pick up. Please, please, please..." Harry muttered, biting the tip of his thumb as he listened to the phone ring.
You have reached the voicemail of-
"Fuck!" Harry's phone dropped to his bed as he began pacing his room, mumbling to himself as he tugged at his hair.
It had been four days. Four days since he had heard from him. Four days since he'd woken up to an empty bed. Four days since- No. No, he couldn't, wouldn't, think of that. He needed to be strong. If not for himself, then for Louis.
He paused his pacing and stared at the phone on his bed, the blank screen almost mocking him as he debated his next move.
He'd already messaged and called everyone that Louis would go to, desperate for a sign that he was okay. When that failed, he'd run around their town, visiting Louis' favourite places to go.
There was one place Harry hadn't searched, that he couldn't bring himself to search just yet.
OR The one where Louis goes missing and Harry desperately tries to find him.
＊ I promise that I'll love you for the rest of my life [G, 358 words, Harry/Louis]
Vows and a kiss to seal the deal
＊ Rush Hour Crush [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Harry took a moment to take in his knight in shining armour. The man’s hair was swept elegantly across his face, dazzling blue eyes staring back at him. Letting his eyes wander further, he spotted a hint of a tattoo peeking out from the man’s collar and had to stifle a groan, forcing his eyes back to the man’s face. Tattoos were his weakness and he couldn’t very well embarrass himself more in front of the man. So he focused on the man’s face again. He seemed to be only a year or two older than Harry and he could immediately tell why Niall was comfortable leaving Harry with…whatever his name is. He probably should find that out at some point. That’d be good to know for a potential friend, or boyfriend.
OR An eventful meeting, a consuming crush and a meddling best friend.
＊ Come Back, My Love by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose [E, 29k+, wip, Harry/Louis]
Frank and Shelley Harper are masterminds. They’ve created a storefront to entice those with gentle hearts and a willingness to help in times of catastrophe only to capture them for their own twisted goal.
The Victory Project.
The only ones who earn any sort of ‘victory’ are Frank and Shelley. No one else wins. While they don’t know what exactly is done to or with those who join the Victory Project, David has a gut feeling that it isn’t anything good. Part 2 of The Victory Project
＊ like a moth into a flame by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed [T, 5k, Zayn/Louis]
Louis’ eyes light up. “Someone wrote a sex poem?” He ignores the way other teachers look their way, lowers his volume, but not by enough, if the narrowing of Zayn’s eyes is any indication. “Someone wrote a sex poem?” He repeats, barely able to keep from giggling. He’s twenty-seven years old and he shouldn’t be so delighted by the fact that some fifteen-year-old in Zayn’s class wrote something raunchy, but he can’t help it.
“Worse,” Zayn mutters, the dejected slump of his shoulders actually making Louis feel a little sorry for him. “Someone wrote a sex poem about me.”
＊ I'll Run (Run To You) [M, 1k, Louis/Harry]
What do people need after running a marathon?
Louis remembers the first time he Googled that, about 2.8 minutes after saying goodbye to Harry during a round of speed dating. It was probably a bit of a dickish move, considering he was already sat opposite another, presumably lovely, boy, but all it had taken was one look at Harry and he'd known.
＊ like a bridge over troubled water (I will lay me down) [T, 6k, OT5 friendship]
Zayn loves all of his friends. He just might love Liam in a different way.
Or: a love letter from Zayn to his friends, written in 4+1.
＊ (don't you ever) hope for something else [T, 5k, Zayn/Liam]
A long time ago, in the kingdom Zayn calls home, a foolish king disregarded a prophecy, sending the country into a decade-long war, nearly bringing its people to extinction.
Once the battle had finally been over and peace had been restored, once a new king had been crowned, a new law had been written into place: henceforth, from now until the end of times, no prophecy shall ever be disregarded.
Which is all fine and well, Zayn supposes, until your name is called.
＊ you try to stop it tumbling (but on and on it goes) [G, 2k, Liam & Harry]
Liam just needs to apply himself more.
Liam is smart, he just needs to work harder.
“Focus,” his father had said. “You can do this Liam. Just focus.”
But how? How can he focus when his brain isn’t letting him? When he can sit and stare at his homework for hours, unable to separate one train of thought from another, unable to get a single word onto paper?
Just do it.
That’s what he tells himself, sitting at his desk. Just do it. Just-
＊ The Lovers by @reminiscingintherain [T, 1k, Louis/Harry]
“Come inside,” an eerie voice seemed to echo from the darkness. “Come inside, and seek your destiny.”
＊ Private [T, 2k, Louis/Nick Grimshaw]
Louis was not in the mood for a nightclub. At all. Let alone a series of them.
But, he sighed to himself, it was his fiancé’s birthday, and this was the event he had chosen.
A club crawl along Canal Street.
Or, it's Nick's birthday, and Louis doesn't want to miss it... but he's not exactly out, and things are not as easy as they should be...
＊ Dear Darlin' [M, 2k, Niall/Olly Murs]
A series of timestamps from the headline years in Take The World By Storm Part 2 of Take The World By Storm
＊ In Chains [G, 316 words, Harry]
Stream of consciousness
＊ Are We In the Clear by asphodelknox / @iamasphodelknox [M, 1k, Louis/Harry]
England, 1256.
Louis and Harry meet across a crowded court at a time when falling in love would mean their destruction. With help from a friend, they run for their freedom.
Louis urges them on. Harry remembers.
＊ No Place I'd Rather Be [E, 29k, Harry/Louis]
Harry's had a crush on his stepfather's friend for six years. A small crush. A tiny crush.
Honestly, if you don't look at Harry's dozens of poems about Louis Tomlinson, the crush is practically infinitesimal. They haven't even had a conversation.
But then a car wreck prompts them to finally have a conversation.
Christmas works its magic, Harry pines, Louis fonds, and they just might make it.
＊ The Places I Share With You [M, 7k, Louis/Harry]
Five times Louis comes home to Harry and one time he's ready to welcome Harry home.
The process of Louis and Harry finding home in each other.
Sequel/Coda/Epilogue to No Place I'd Rather Be. Part 2 of The Places We Share
＊ Fight For Us by @fallinglikethis [E, 11k, Harry/Louis]
Louis isn’t okay.
It’s beyond wrong, the way they’re held in a cage waiting to be chosen for mating. It’s the way it’s been all Louis’ life, but he never wanted to end up like this. He’d hoped against hope that he’d present as a beta since they don’t have these same restrictions on them. They don’t have to adhere to their biology.
And one dark night, long after all of the other omegas in the pen have fallen asleep, biology comes calling for Louis.
＊ Let Me Taste Your Silhouette by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28 [E, 4k, Louis/Harry]
Harry’s pulled out of his swirling thoughts then by the insistent buzzing of his phone again. He groans and reaches over to decline the call, except that it’s not Jeff calling this time.
It’s Louis.
Despite it being a rather warm day in London, Harry can feel the goosebumps raise on the skin of his arms. And for once he doesn’t really know what to do. For some reason, it hadn’t actually occurred to him that Louis might try to reach out.
Except that Louis is reaching out, which must mean he’s seen the picture.
(Or the one where Harry accidentally posts a picture to his main Instagram story instead of only to his close friends, and he just happens to be wearing a 28 Official Programme shirt. Louis happens to notice).
＊ Ace of Hearts by @allwaswell16 [E, 10k, Louis/Harry]
Louis Tomlinson, the alpha Duke of Yorkshire, had returned to England to stay now that he’d married and mated. But since his husband was also the omega he’d once held captive aboard his half-brother’s pirate ship, he held back from pushing Harry into parenthood.
With the Ace of Spades now docked in London, Harry spent time with his friends from the crew and remained a bit oblivious to his alpha’s deepest desires. What he was aware of was his best friend’s hurt and his mother-in-law’s wish for more than friendship with her oldest friend. Part 3 of Ace of Spades
＊ The Cats that Got the Cream by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [M, 3k, Harry/Louis, Liam/Harry/Louis]
When Louis accidentally releases the tiger trapped in Harry's thigh tattoo, Harry has to explain not just what the fuck is happening, but that it's not just a tiger. Luckily, Louis has a secret of his own that might help.
＊ someday, girl, we’re gonna get to that place [T, 2k, Louis/Harry]
Harry's been drawn to pantyhose since he was a kid. If only he could stop taking every snag and run personally.
＊ Shoulder ’n’ the Load [E, 2k, Louis/Harry, Louis/Louis' band]
When Louis breaks his arm and ends up in the hospital in traction, Harry comes up with an idea to distract him from the pain and discomfort. Louis' bandmates are all too happy to pitch in.
＊ Stable Hand [M, 3k, Harry/Louis, Louis/Zayn]
Harry and Zayn are wealthy ladies of leisure who bond over their shared interests, namely: dressage and cheating on their husbands with the gorgeous young stable boy. Though they both enjoy how submissive Louis is in bed, when they learn he might have it in him to take more control in the bedroom, they decide they might like to try switching things up.
＊ The Doppel Effect [T, 6k, Harry & Louis]
In a future where the rich and famous can use lifelike android doppelgangers to increase their reach and expand their fortunes, unauthorized use of the technology by enterprising criminals results in a sub-class of doppelgangers referred to as Forgeries.
Harry Styles lives a simple life, far from the luxurious and nefarious worlds occupied by Dops and Forgeries. At least, he's never had a reason to think otherwise. Until a mysterious stranger shows up and threatens to turn Harry's world upside down.
＊ Amenable [E, 3k, Zayn/Louis]
Zayn guides Louis through a marathon day of fucking, exploring Louis' submissive side through a series of varied constraints. Louis is game for it all, because nothing makes him feel freer than following Zayn's rules.
＊ Take Me Home by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom [E, 26k, Harry/Louis]
Louis loves his new home, up high on the mountainside, and the perfect place to write his songs. Sure, it’s isolated, but that was the point. No distractions, no interruptions. Peace and quiet and tranquillity.
But when a stranger arrives and asks if he can camp by the riverside, Louis surprises himself by agreeing without a moment's pause.
OR the story of how when you think you’ve got everything you ever wanted, life has a way of showing you just how wrong you were.
＊ Toil and Trouble by stretchmybones / @harryslonecurl [E, 3k, Louis/Harry]
Harry and Louis are sirens who suck the souls out of humans in order to make potions
＊ in the hope of open hands by @justanothershadeofblue [T, 13k, OT5]
Five times the pack is protective of omega Harry, and one time Harry protects them. Featuring Louis and Liam as alphas, Zayn and Niall as betas, and Harry’s as the band's lone omega. A year and some change in which they’re all falling for each other and not quite getting their shit together (until they do, of course).
＊ you were in my dream by staybeautiful / @harruandlou [E, 59k, Louis/Harry]
“I had a sex dream about Harry.” Louis slapped his free hand over his mouth after the words slipped out.
Zayn paused, his hand freezing as he was about to take a bite, his head snapping up to look at Louis. Louis could relate, it’s how he’d felt that morning after he’d woken up. He’d laid in bed for fifteen minutes trying to figure out what had happened, why it had turned him on so much, and then patiently waiting for his erection to go down.
“Like… my Niall’s Harry? Harry Styles?” Zayn clarified, his face bewildered as if trying to comprehend what had just happened. “Do you even like Harry?”
“His last name is Styles?”
or Louis woke up after having a sexy dream about his best friend’s boyfriend’s best friend resolved to never think about it again. He hardly knew Harry, so what difference would it make? But when they are thrown togethe r only a few days later, Louis had to admit, his subconscious might have been onto something.
＊The Park by larry_hiatus / @larry-hiatus [G, 1k, Harry/Louis]
Harry is a student who is trying to write, but Louis would rather be sleeping tonight. Harry is struggling to find his last rhyme, though the answer may be right there the whole time.
Based on this Bert and Ernie skit from Sesame Street
＊ Dirty Bunny [E, 5k, Louis/Harry]
Harry has a private kink that he likes to indulge in after Louis comes back from his runs. It’s his own dirty secret, until the day he gets caught.
＊ It's human to break, it's hum an to fall [T, 1k, Harry/Louis]
A wobbly ladder and a stubborn Louis don’t make for a good combination, and now he’s left to deal with the painful consequences. His boyfriend Harry can’t help but be annoyed that Louis didn’t listen to him, but he quickly puts aside his irritation when he realizes something else is wrong.
＊ Don't Forge Me [G, 1k, Louis/Harry]
Harry wakes up to a fruit bouquet the morning after his last night with his boyfriend. Harry knows he won’t see Louis again for a while, but when he reads the confusing note tucked amongst the melons and pineapple flowers, Harry wonders if he’ll ever see Louis again…
＊ From Now Til Forever (series) by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove [G/T, 6k, Harry/Louis]
doodles & daydreams
Harry sits in math class and thinks about Louis. Mediocre teen love poetry is written. A dropped pen becomes a prized possession.
where no one else is
Harry and Louis became friends through watching their parents' marriages fall apart. Sometimes it's hard to believe in love when you watch it crumble. But maybe they can find a way to believe anyways.
you are my christmas
Harry wants their first Christmas together in their first home together to be perfect, something they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
He gets one of those two things.
build a time machine
Louis and Harry have been planning to travel across Europe together for years, but never quite had the time or money to do it. Now they have it -- but something is still missing on the trip of a lifetime.
orange blossom
Louis comes home from work with a present for Harry -- or at least, Harry will probably love the present once he finishes being stressed about it.

Translation: Once again, the great event of yesterday evening got the international spotlight on Lido di Camaiore, experienced by thousands of young people from all over the world (USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany, England, Spain, France, etc. … ). A young audience moved by a great passion for music.
Many of them, at the end of the concert, picked up the garbage, and the following pictures show us how the Park area and the nearby streets looked like this morning.
A beautiful gesture of politeness and respect. It’s a lesson for many of us.
Facebook post shared by the mayor of Lido di Camaiore, who prior to the concert had met some of the fans camping for AFHF 2023 [22.8.2023].

has something happened, Cara? did i miss something? sofia stunt as in sofia the scandinavian girl everybody forgot about? is she back? what has asia to do with that stunt? totally agree that louis' career would only benefit if there were some women in his team but i'm really confused about what exactly you're talking about now. have a lovely weekend!
Hi!
Oh my comment was set off by the AFHF announcement, and the subsequent detective rabbithole everyone went down trying to figure out where it will be this year, and loads of people saying Mexico bc of the cacti in the picture plus that Mexican promoter account tweeting and deleting AFHF recently. I got riled up about how badly they failed last year for AFHF, how we could tell right from when they announced it (quite late) to then being there and seeing how they only sold 2/3 of tickets and not even everyone showed up. They had to cut back massively on staff (one of the reasons why entry was handled so badly and why they didn’t have enough staff to hand out the wristbands), and how they absolutely need to have a (financial) success with this year‘s AFHF in order to not have the whole festival get jeopardised and maybe cancelled. And that led to me talking about the root problem of the team being just men, and then listing examples of their recent fuck ups that very likely wouldn’t have happened that way if they had a woman on their team they‘d listen to once in a while, like for example the Sofia stunt. I guarantee you that no man on that team even thought about the fact that in 2023, with a majorly queer, feminist female fanbase that huge age gap could be problematic for Louis‘ image with his fans, because men in general don’t think about much younger women being with older men as problematic at all. They dropped her like hot iron *after* the backlash from all sides. Then they didn’t handle communication well when they cancelled Asia at all. Like. At all.
For AFHF, I understand that Mexican fans are super passionate but I already gotten many messages by latam fans saying even though living in Mexico City they wouldn’t be able to afford it. I don’t think it’ll be in Mexico, they really need to be in the black numbers for this year‘s AFHF, so they need it to be accessible to fans with strong financial powers. Europe has the majority of louis‘ fandom with strong financial power, and logistically it would be crazy to fly back and forth about 16-18 hours between European festivals for AFHF, if he could do it in Europe again.
If he keeps it in a similar time frame (august) as the past (although he’s already had the first announcement two months earlier than usually), there’s only the last July or last August weekend (going into September) available.
A friend actually sent me the Ponte de Segura bridge that looks a lot like the viaduct used in the picture, and it’s right at the border of Portugal to Spain. End of July he’s got two festivals in Portugal and Spain, and he could easily oversee the set up during the week between those two.
There’s also huge festival grounds 20 minutes from that bridge, that usually hosts the BOOM festival, but only every other year - meaning that July weekend is free for 2024 and the infrastructure for the festival has been well established (since 1997) with shuttles, vendors, camp sites, stage infrastructures… it looks really great.
The thing that still got me entertaining Mexico as a possibility is the cacti that have been edited in, that mostly only grow in South America, and the Mexican promoter.
Anyways, tell me louis wouldn’t go for this?? The shore, the lake, the rocks, the surroundings, the heat??
Anyways the real clowning begins if you imagine louis launches AFHF to be TWO days by having Niall headline the first day… that would certainly draw the necessary crowds and they’re already doing a bit of the festival run together this summer 🤡🤪

Louis’ plan on releasing five albums eventually and touring all five is a stated career goal.
Whether he succeeds or not is not guaranteed. But since Louis has mentioned it in interviews many times, this goal isn’t a “fandom head canon” or something we “interpreted.”
[Larries who do not pay attention to Louis’ interviews, listen to his music, or plan to go to his concerts perhaps shouldn’t have an opinion on this.]
On the other hand, Louis has never stated that he plans to “slow down,” “settle down,” or “step back.” Those scenarios are not only head canons, they’re diametrically opposite to what Louis’ actions tell us.
Louis has actually, FACTUALLY, expanded the festival that he curates. The attendance for AFHF2022 is factually higher than AFHF 2021, and Louis has ACTUALLY said he would like to make it bigger next year, eventually over multiple days with camping.
Louis actually, FACTUALLY worked on several projects simultaneously this past year. He had a world tour of 80+ concerts, sold 500k+ tickets worldwide, recorded and mastered an entire album (several versions) while on tour, planned the AFHF 2022 festival, is making a full-length documentary, released multiple Instagram stories, started an official TikTok channel, and planned an international world tour for 2023-24.
In the European and USA legs of FITF World Tour alone, the number of tickets exceeds 500k. That is equal to all of LTWT. Louis has expanded most of the FITFWT venues to arena-size. The tour is starting in five months and will likely continue for a full year. It is very likely that LT3 will be written on tour to be released shortly afterward, with tour to follow.
Louis has articulated multiple times that he wrote FITF “with tour in mind.” His record was written for big, live spaces and performances. He didn’t write it as incidental music for fanfiction, or because he wants to play second banana. Louis didn’t write a 20-song tour album so he could sneak into someone else’s tour, hiding in balconies and backlit doorways.
What Louis has NOT done is talk about wanting to be out of the limelight, wanting to step back for Harry, having any recent contact with Harry Styles at all.
Here’s a message for Larries reading this post. It’s okay not to be a fan of Louis Tomlinson. It’s okay not to know every detail about what he does. It’s okay to prefer Harry and talk mostly about Harry, and be honest that you don’t like Louis or his music. It’s ok just to go to Harry’s concerts and support his career. No one can stop you if you want to read Larry fic in private and enjoy the smut; it’s your freedom. If this is the sort of fandom experience you prefer, you do you.
But it’s not ok to be dishonest, to proselytize to other fans that “none of us know about Louis’ intentions.”
1. Louis has clearly STATED his professional intentions, and 2. Louis continues to rise in his career congruent with his growing confidence and ambition, with transparent actions to match.
I get that Larries would rather talk about a child than about Faith In The Future. We saw Freddie for a total of about 92 minutes this year (including the LA concert). We saw Louis engaged with music for about 275/365 days.
Larries preach that they’re concerned with Louis’ privacy, but they actually don’t engage with his music at all.
We saw that Big Larries don’t plan to go to Louis’ concerts, haven’t bought any physical copies of his album, and according to their Spotify Wrapped, don’t listen to his music more than one pass (if that). And they don’t care who knows. And yes, this has an effect on fandom, because these Tumblr Larries are widely read and quoted everywhere in social media— worldwide.
So what do Larries want from Louis, really?
It seems that they want their head canon to come true. They want Louis to disappear. Completely. So Harry Styles can shine unimpeded.
Same goal as Sony, basically?
#louis tomlinson#larry stylinson#harry styles#larries#many Larries are fully mature adults#women in their 40’s 50’s 60’s 70’s#they know what it’s like to be discriminated against in work and yet#they SUPPORT the process of discrimination / blacklisting in the music industry#they SUPPORT an absolute abuse of power

Hi bea
How was the festival? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Anon 2: Can’t wait to hear your experience. Hope you enjoyed it.
———————————————————————
Thanks anons
So I hadn't been to Away from Home either of the previous two times so I don't have another afhf to compare to. I have been to a lot of festivals otherwise though, both day and camping and if I’m honest this was probably the worst festival experience I have ever had (and I used to go to T in the Park). With that in mind I’ll summarise my thoughts now I am home and chilled.
Things I enjoyed:
• Blossoms - I saw them support another band a few years ago and I thought they were really great both then and now (we also bumped into them the night before in Pisa).
• The seaside location - Italy was so hot, we went to the beach in the early afternoon and then to the festival, I thought that was a great thing to be able to do
• Louis' show was fabulous and I was really glad to have seen him, got to hear some fitf tracks for the first time (no Chicago though :( )
Things I didn't enjoy:
• Food - The website said there would be vegan food, both my friend and I are vegan and chose not to eat earlier because because we were really quite excited by the prospect of vegan options, this was dumb on our part. I've been vegan for a very long time and would never expect a concert venue to have food options so I want to be clear that my issue here is only because the afhf FAQ's explicitly mentioned vegan food being available. In reality there were no real vegan options. We queued for around 2-2.5 hours inside the venue for food in total. First for about 30 mins to get a piece of bread with a slice of lettuce inside it and then for close to 2 hours to get a portion of fries. I promise I am not exaggerating any of that, we missed all of the cribs, the dj set and most of blossoms and I have a photo of the lettuce bread. We were by no means the exception in terms of how long we waited for food. A big part of the problem was that there were I think two/four (two places selling sandwiches and two selling chips & burgers) food vendors for everyone there, and the chip vendors only had one tiny chip fryer each so they could only cook 3-4 portions at a time and then a 5 minute wait for the next 3-4. The venue wasn't sold out but there must have been 15k people at least inside I expect and folk wanted to eat - remember they had said you couldn’t bring food/drink inside and you couldn’t leave and come back.
• Hygiene - listen gigs/festivals are never the cleanest places but this was really quite bad. We arrived about 6pm, at that point the bins were overflowing, there was no toilet roll and no running water to wash your hands in the loos. There were also no staff/stewards to notify. By 9pm then were used sanitary products stacked in the loos and no bins in sight. It was 35° that day.
• Organisation - The organisation around the venue was really confusing, we got a bus to the town and it was almost impossible to get from the bus stop to the beach because of the queue system & closures which just weren't being communicated. Every security guard told us something different which made it hard to navigate. Coming back to the venue later from the beach (around 530pm) there were almost no staff in sight and all the road closures had changed. When we got inside we didn’t get wristbands which we thought odd at the time but now know they weren't given out (I don’t really care about the wristband but think it’s a symbol of the organisational issues). Overall the event felt really understaffed.
• Tech/sound/screens - there were a lot of tech issues, some might have been heat related I imagine but the sound at times was terrible and the two screens seemed really small for the venue (they also glitched a lot). We chose to stand near the back so the screen thing was quite noticeable.
If I am honest the experience wasn't for me and I probably wouldn't go to afhf again, some of this might have been specific to this venue but I just wouldn't be willing to risk it.
#anon#also by the time Louis came on#I was so miserable and hungry we had debated just leaving#but we had booked an event coach back so stayed#if it hadn’t been for that I think we would have left much earlier#but we didn’t really have a feasible plan to get home otherwise#away from home festival#2023#afhf

What did you think about the doc? I thought it could've been a bit better and it's not even because of the bg stuff, just idk something felt lacking but I guess that makes sense with Louis' situation
this might be long but at least its not the 12 minute video review i recorded in my car on the way home. let me try and organize it by ~theme~ at least
fans: latam fans... incredible showstopping props to them. their insane energy alone made those concert sequences so sick on camera. the americans and italians following him on the other hand were fucking embarassing and it was hard to watch ngl. lthq encouraging camping and stalking is nothing new but it's just getting annoying at this point. also. if you still need to ask your parents for permission to sleep on the street, you probably shouldn't be sleeping on the street.
narrative: i don't really get what charlie was trying to do tbh. like the time skips and forgetting a bunch of shit that happened (that we KNOW happened) is just weird and lowkey feels like lthq trying to rewrite history and gaslight us into forgetting things happened. like don't worry about 2018!! nothing absolutely nothing happened here!! let's just fast forward to walls promo and tour!!
footage: i felt like there was so much missing. the broken arm?? him going to the hospital? like the fucking drama they could've got out of that situation alone would have been insane to see. think about it. you're on the second leg of your multi leg world tour and your arm breaks from running into a fucking wall. we deserved greys anatomy and got ... whatever this is. charlie filmed so many fans over the last couple and got so many perspectives and all of that was underwhelming. and the footage was just? stuff we've already seen? i could tell there were so many "harries pretending to give a shit about louis" at my showing bc they gasped when niall came on the screen. like we knew that was gonna be in there? it was in the igtv from 3 years ago?? and so much stuff was already in the afhf doc that i was literally saying out loud "i've seen this before." bc it just kept coming. so my theory that he used afhf to pitch this concept was true i guess, he just added some more stuff. it felt jumbled and rushed in a lot of places with little flow from place to place
interviews: the only one that was genuine to me was oli, because of course it was. especially the f scenes, you can tell louis was unconvincing on camera and had to adr some lines over all the totally definitely not set-up beach footage. though i did like hearing from his extended family and having them featured, the scene with them at the donny house sitting in circle was kinda off... not in a "they're lying way", just that the shots were not at all creative or genuine. i honestly wished charlie shot their perspective and commentary differently. the more traditional interview style with the sisters were better imo
the band: they're incredible. i'm so happy louis has found such a great group to travel and make music with. you can tell they all care so deeply for one another and i'm really happy for him. sidenote: their chemistry and vibes are INSANE. i just know their gonna love touring together again this year. from the words of oli, "it were better than a one direction gig"
tldr; if promotion for his upcoming tour and establishing some sort of bg narrative to get things moving was the point of this, i can understand where this doc came from. i still find it very interesting there is a lot of louis footage charlie didn't film that fits the "poor louis not knowing what to do next" narrative. stuff is definitely missing from the film. but if you like the band and oli, and overall just like people talking ABOUT louis, the film is definitely worth checking out
#i dont think i missed anything but yea#i forgot how nice it is to get asks without someone telling me to kms#asks#anon#aotv

mari you’re always saying you kiss some of your mutuals and anon but will you really kiss them on the mouth if you meet them?
are you kidding me? have you seen my mutuals? Of course I would. I'm keeping my hopes up for the AFHF 2023 or 2024 when it lasts 2 days and it turns into an actual gay camp
#also I have already even made PLANS to kiss some of them jkfkajfk#just ask raine dani iza or soni akjfjask#asks#anons

i don’t think he will struggle with italy he sold 36k in ONE show
Yes, I think that's the reason they are going for big venues and more than 1 show in Italy and Spain but the tickets for the festivals at the end of the tour were a mix of fans from all over the world going there because there were no more dates on other countries and also people had saved money for more than 2 years... Which is not the case now...
But don't get me wrong, if he sells these big venues as easy as San Siro or the AFHF I'm going to get drunk to celebrate it because Louis deserves to play at the Camp Nou like the king he is.

tuesday, august 30th
NEW LOUIS INTERVIEW - focuses mostly on AFHF, talks about new music as well. At one point he says with a smile, ‘Three days, camping… Yeah, that’d be good,’ referring to his future dreams for the festival. Is he thinking about leeds?
LTHQ VID FOR PERFECT NOW: the video has a lot of symbolism relating to bbg, such as checkerboard patterns and finishing a race. perfect now is a song that has long been associated with eleanor, and one that louis refuses to play at his shows. It’s interesting that he’d use symbolism on this track in particular, since all the media from other videos have been clips from his tour.
ROME SHOW: standard louis show
NEW ANAGRAM: todays anagram is for a song called angels fly. people began noticing the many harry/larry themed phone cases in the background and wondered why, if this photo wasn't already blurred out, louis' team wouldn't blur out the larry related phone cases while they were at it.
NEW SONG LYRIC FOR LT2: a new song lyric (i’ve woken up from my sleep) accompanied, as usual, by a video from tour was posted on instagram and by HLD on twitter. The three song lyrics we have gotten so far seem connected, if not from the same song, leading some people to believe LT2 may be a concept album.
DAILY RECAP: compared to other days this hectic week, it’s been calm. mainly, we’ve watched louis’ LT2 promo ramp up faster than ever, and unsurprisingly, there’s been some larry hints sprinkled in. Harry is currently MIA, taking a quick break before playing more sets at MSG.
NOTE: normally, i’d post these at 9:00 pm EST. However, currently I am in a different timezone, and this works best. thanks for understanding
see u tomorrow for another daily recap!
love, fade 💚💙

Harry might be already camping out for AFHF but will he be first in line or will purple hair girl sneak her way in last minute and claim first place ? The polls are out with Harry leading with a 54% chance of being first by charming security with his bright coloured shirts but things might change last minute. Stay tuned for more updates in battle of number 1 spot.
You’re saying it, not me 🤭🤭
