✤ Enemies to Lovers ✤
A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
- Top 5 H/L Fics -
1️⃣ Unbelievers by @isthatyoularry {E, 136k}
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.
2️⃣ Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can't Lose by dolce_piccante / @haydolce {M, 112k}
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?
3️⃣ Collision by itjustkindahappened / @tequiladimples {E, 226k}
Mythology/Fairytale!AU in which Louis is a dainty fairy with a temper who wants to be intimidating and Harry hurts people. Naturally, they hate each other.
(Featuring Liam, the big and not-so-bad wolf who’s got a thing for humans, Zayn, a human with supernaturally good looks, and Niall, the cupid who just wants his job to be easier.)
4️⃣ Flightless Bird by audreyhheart {E, 97k}
AU where Louis Tomlinson is a principal dancer with The Royal Ballet. When his rival from ballet school, moody dance prodigy Harry Styles joins the company, old wounds are reopened and old passions reignited. During the company's production of Swan Lake the secret that doomed their love is finally revealed, but will it be too late?
5️⃣ don't make this easy (i want you to mean it) by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze {E, 24k}
“Harry’s a player. All he does is chat everyone up. And guys like him are just--so ugh. He’s got that arrogant, self-assured smirk plastered to his face all the time. Always smug and stupid, like he could get anyone he lays his eyes on. All he does is make me mad and laugh all the time like he knows something that I don’t. That is so annoying.”
“But that’s just Harry,” Niall shrugged at Louis. “He doesn’t even try to flirt or anything. He’s just naturally charming, but that doesn’t mean he’s a player nor that he’s trying to get into everyone's pants. He’s just friendly. And he likes you. He doesn’t usually fall for people, but he fell for you.”
“Oh, should I feel special then?” Louis asked, snorting and rolling his eyes.
or Harry’s a frat boy who is head over heels for Louis and Louis wants nothing to do with him.
HIDDEN GEMS:
💎 An Amazing Race Around the World (And to my Heart) by Thingssicant / @slowlyseducedbycurls {E, 89k}
“This year marks our thirtieth race around the world, thirty seasons of teams bound by friendship, family, and even some people who just band together for the chance at the prize. But this year, we want to remove that dynamic,” Phil said, rubbing his hands together gently.
The cameras were whirring around them, trying to get every shocked face and gasp from the teams. Louis could feel a ringing in his ears, a new nervousness he hadn’t felt during the entire journey to this competition.
He was sweating more now, more than he could blame on the California sun, as Phil started to read the names of the new teams, the members hugging their loved ones before joining a complete stranger in their new allotted spot.
Or an Amazing race Hate to Lovers au
💎 no heart for me like yours (no love for you like mine) by @phdmama {E, 46k}
When Harry Styles, wedding dress designer to the stars (sort of) and Louis Tomlinson, wedding planner and relationship expert (kind of) meet on the occasion of their sisters' engagement, sparks fly. But not the good kind. Louis thinks Harry is a dick and Harry thinks Louis is an asshole.
That doesn't last long.
The road to true love isn't always smooth or uncomplicated. Can two stubborn men find their way?
💎 an ocean in my veins (you'll be diving in) by me_her_themoon / @dreamersdivin-headfirst {E, 31k}
But, since Niall is so talkative to literally anyone with a working mouth, it means that when Louis Tomlinson started to take a shine to him, Harry started to hate him.
Because suddenly, it wasn’t just Harry and Niall, and whoever else wanted to join their antics. It was Harry and Niall and Louis.
Did Harry mention that Louis is a stupid fucking prick? He wants to make sure that’s clear.
[or, harry and louis hate each other and niall just wants everyone to get along]
💎 Spinning Out Waiting for You by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose {M, 18k}
Harry Styles is a year and a half away from graduating with a masters in potions and he has one huge milestone to reach in his academy career: the Matching Ceremony.
From Halloween night until graduation, matched witches and familiars will have to create a talisman to be a physical representation of their bond. One for the witch and one for the familiar. Most pairings last an entire lifetime.
If only it were that simple.
💎 Can't Buy My Love, Can Buy Me Dinner by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13 {G, 9k}
Is it ethical to accept a dinner date for the free food? And will you hate me when I go anyway?
Fact 1: Louis hates Harry Styles.
Fact 2: Louis is temporarily living off toast and spaghetti hoops.
Fact 3: ...Louis may be semi-accidentally dating his worst enemy.

A fic rec of angsty omegaverse One Direction fics as requested in this ask. If you enjoy the fics, please leave the writers kudos and comments! You can find my other fic recs here. Happy reading!
— Louis/Harry —
💔 Light, Spark and Fire (series) by green_feelings / @greenfeelings
(M, E, 239k, Louis/Harry, Zayn/Liam) Louis and Zayn run a music label, Liam is Britain’s up-and-coming pop star, Harry’s working on taking Louis’ walls down until he builds his own up, and Niall holds them all together without realising he does.
💔 Saving Symphony Hall by @helloamhere
(E, 124k, hurt/comfort) “That’s the attitude,” said Louis, “I’ll tell you tomorrow. Tonight, I need to do some research. Zayn, give me your number. I’m gonna save our symphony.”
💔 Strawberries & Cigarettes by dimpled_halo / @comebackassholes
(E, 76k, exes) Two stories, eleven years, and the two boys that never stopped loving each other.
💔 These High Walls by LarryAlways28
(E, 68k, musician Louis) Harry was raised exactly as a Styles heir should be: sharp as a tack, witty, charming, and powerful. He was the ideal son - until he presented as an Omega.
💔 Maybe You’ll Like the Way I Am by @lululawrence
(NR, 55k, accidental bonding) When Louis’ alpha neighbor asks him to pretend to be his omega for a week, Louis immediately says no.
💔 Your Gift is Wasted On Me by therogueskimo / @bravetemptation
(NR, 54k, neighbors) Omega Louis has severe touch deprivation and is averse to touch. But he’s fine. Really.
💔 Bear with me by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt
(E, 46k, omega/omega) But try as they might, the one fact that remains true is that children don’t save broken relationships. Sometimes things just aren’t meant to be.
💔 Wild Hearts Run Free by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom
(E, 42k, secrets) When fate and Mother Nature conspire to trap the two strangers together, will Harry’s worst fears be proven, or will Louis find a way to break down his walls and lead him into the light?

💔 Follow Your Arrow by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13
(T, 36k, canon) They said Louis playing alpha wouldn’t affect anything. It was the best thing for the band, so he doesn’t really regret it except deep in the dead of night, when he bites down on his knuckles to swap the echoing ache of depri for a sting of pain.
💔 Too Young To Know by @2tiedships2
(M, 35k, exes to lovers) the one where Harry doesn’t present as an alpha… until he does.

💔 tread lightly on my ground by fairytalelights / @lookslikefairytale
(E, 20k, mpreg) the one where Harry is having Louis’ baby, but Louis doesn’t know it’s his
💔 Keep Me Closer by zanni_scaramouche / @zanniscaramouche
(T, 18k, uni) Louis expects Harry to react poorly, maybe even file a formal complaint and that’s gonna suck ass but Louis won’t say shit cause he knows he deserves it, so he prepares an apology before Harry’s even turned around.
💔 No Easy Love (Could Make Me Feel This Way) by @allwaswell16
(E, 17k, exes) an Alpha Louis/Alpha Harry au where they get a second chance to make things right with the love of their life.

Darkest Before the Dawn, 50.5k, by amomentoflove (me)
Harry Styles has standards. His coffee must be a cold brew with one pump of vanilla and a splash of cold cream. His computer must be catty-cornered on his left. His sketchbook must be directly in the center of his desk. He must have a cork board on his right to pin fabrics, sketches, and other inspirations he finds.
But most importantly, his space,—work or living,—must be organized. He doesn’t understand how people live otherwise. Everything has a place and it must be in its place in order for him to get anything done. Which is why he grits his teeth every time when he walks into the fashion workroom and sees Louis Tomlinson’s workspace.
It’s chaos. He’s chaos personified. He’s annoying, loud, and well… not as creative as Harry is. His designs are unimaginative and plain. Harry doesn’t understand how Louis managed to be accepted into the fashion program, but he supposes some people have to slip through the system.

Where I End and You Begin by @starryhazelou (starryhazelou)
“You know you’re kind of a brat,” Harry muses, eyes firmly on Louis as he leans back crossing his arms over his chest.
Louis smirks, “You’re not the first one to say that big boy, but I’ve learned to take it as a compliment.”
Don’t get hard. Don’t get hard. Don’t get hard.
Harry’s brain repeats to himself while Louis glides a hand across his face.
He’s so screwed.
˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
Global rock sensation Harry Styles is set to perform in his sold out residencies across six major cities. What happens when his usual makeup artist can’t make it and they hire the most beautiful human he’s ever laid eyes on? Surely it couldn’t be that hard to remain professional

your memory over me by @shimmeringevil (shimmeringevil)
Three years have passed since Louis last saw him, but all it took was a few minutes in Harry’s presence for him to be relegated to the desperate twenty-one year old that was practically begging his boyfriend for an ounce of reassurance that he still cared about him.
Harry shouldn’t be here. He’s brought too many unresolved feelings with him, that Louis thought he’d never have to face.
It’s Harry’s apparent apathy that’s the most difficult to come to terms with. Anger, he could handle. Regret, he would welcome. But Harry’s amiability, and carefree demeanor can only be born from indifference.
He’s moved on. He doesn’t care. And that is something Louis doesn’t think he’ll ever be strong enough to face.
-
OR - The worst heartbreak of Louis’ life walks right back into it when his parents invite their family friends on an all-expenses-paid trip for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Facing a past that he tried to bury long ago, Louis learns that some people have a way of sticking with you even when they’re gone.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Where I Burn to Be by @pleasing-louis (pleasinglouis)
There were very few people who managed to get under Louis’ skin as effortlessly as Harry had, and even fewer who had done it in only a day and a half. It was quite an accomplishment, really. They’d only interacted a handful of times and yet Louis had the insatiable desire to slam the locker into that frustratingly well-defined face that never seemed to hold any expressions other than contempt and arrogance.
“That’s right. I do own the skies. And you wanna know why?” he sneered. Without his boots on, Louis was a fair bit shorter than Harry, his eyes pretty much level with Harry’s chin and his socked toes bumping into the boots of the other man, close enough that Louis could make out the tiny scar on Harry’s brow and the individual shades of emerald in his irises. He was handsome, but that only made Louis hate him more. Heart thumping heavily against his sternum and his hands balled into fists, Louis lifted his chin defiantly and plastered a coldhearted smirk across his lips. “Because I’m the best goddamn pilot here.”
.

aka the Top Gun AU
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Not Safe For Work by @greenblueish (bluegreenish)
I want to drown myself in Harry’s scent until I smell like him.
“I think I'm open to trying that too. Sounds very good.”
Louis shakes his head a little to get out of the Harry’s-scent-spiral. “Huh?”
“The dish your finger's pointing at. I thought that might be what you’re choosing?”
“Oh. Yeah.”
or, the one where the boys work at Niall's fashion start-up 28 Programme Designs, and omega Louis has a lot of not safe for work thoughts about his colleague Harry, but little does he know that the alpha can read minds.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Swap me for your shadow by @lunarheslwt (lunarheslwt)
“…I’m just … so in love with him.”
Louis blinked.
What???
This hushed revelation from Harry came like a gunshot- loud - and made his heart plummet. He could hardly process it, as he stood there freezing in the wind, hidden behind the balcony door.
Harry was … Harry was in love?? Since when??
The shock and confusion that had fallen over him like a bucket of ice was slowly washed over by a feeling that ran hot and acidic. Somehow, it gripped around his lungs tighter, more cruelly.
Harry was in love with someone….and it wasn’t him.
If Louis thought being in love with his best friend was a knife that continually twisted into his heart before, it was nothing compared to when Harry started to go around talking about having fallen for someone else. A 5+1 fic; 5 times Louis has to listen to Harry’s vague confessions of love for his ‘omega friend’ and the 1 time Louis snaps and confesses his love for Harry.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
There is Thunder in Our Hearts by @the-cheshire-pussy-cat (thecheshirepussycat)
1986, Hawkins Indiana.
Stoner, nerdy, metalhead Harry Styles sells drugs to the boy of his dreams, seemingly perfect overachiever, head Cheerleader Louis Tomlinson. It wasn't supposed to become a Thing.
OR, a Stranger Things HellCheer au (without all the death)
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
You Bring Blue Lights To Dreams by @starryhazelou (starryhazelou)
A body slid up behind him and he tensed until he realized it was Jailen, “So… Louis’ pretty cool huh?” He whispered so Louis wouldn't hear from the other side of the barn.
“I mean yeah,” Harry responded, brows furrowing together before he realized what Jailen was really saying, “Jailen no that’s not- no. Nothing’s going to happen so don’t meddle, I’m serious.”
“I’m not doing anything my dear Harold, I cannot control what happens naturally. Come on Harry, I know you’ve been getting restless with the whole finding your soulmate thing, it might be time to just try and put yourself out there for a while.”
｡ﾟ•┈୨ 𓅭 ୧┈• ｡
Finding your soulmate had been described to Harry as, “finding the answers to the universe.” As the years passed, he would become restless trying to find his. Everyone was born with identical birthmarks on their bodies tying them together. With the combination of living in a small town, along with having a mark that was constantly obstructed by clothing, he was beginning to lose hope.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
in deep devotion by @lovehl (ifthat)
“I think the folk here think I’m an Omega,” Harry voices out loud.
His suspicions began shortly after he arrived to Wright. Wherever he goes, this strange behavior follows. That type of treatment reserved for Omegas.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Bend the Rules by @youreyesonlarry (youreyesonlarry)
Prompt 588: Lous hires a ‘ghost cooking’ service because his family is worried he’s not eating well and he wants to impress them by showing them what an amazing cook he’s become. The service includes sending a discreet cook to your house and have them get everything ready so that you only serve and take the credit. Problem is, his sisters (can be OCs if that’s more comfortable) get to his flat earlier than planned and the actual cook has to hide in the master bathroom for hours. Louis is mortified. The cook is amused and helps him to clean and well. Gives him a thorough service. Feel free to pick your fave as the cook.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Your name is tattooed to the bottom of my heart by @meloummy (meloummy)
Prompt 114: a PWP where Louis gets an arse tattoo with Harry’s name for his birthday.
Or where Harry likes to mark what is his and receives a very special surprise fulfilling one of his fetishes; to see Louis marked for life with something related to him and in one of his favourite places.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Death Wish by (Speechless)
Louis hates vampires, he lives his life trying to kill as many as he can, night after night, year after year.
He hates them.
Then why the fuck is he kissing one?
Again.
“I mean it, Harry.” Louis says, into his mouth this time. “You need to get the fuck away from me.”
Based on Prompt 403: If having more chemistry with a villain than with your own boyfriend was a crime, then Louis would be in jail. Or the hero slowly falls in love with the morally grey character AU
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
splash me across the silver screen by @pleasing-louis (pleasinglouis)
Harry shrugged. “Maybe you just need to get even more outside your comfort zone. Maybe we need to try something a bit more… adventurous?”
Curiosity successfully piqued, Louis tilted his head and toyed with the fringe dangling from his lace shrug. “Like what?"
“We, uhm—maybe we try filming you in more compromising positions,” Harry suggested carefully. He kept his tone low and even as he studied Louis’ expression, hands skating over his curves soothingly. If Louis didn’t know any better he might have thought that Harry was talking about filming him naked. But that couldn’t be right—could it?
“Like porn?”
Or Louis is a struggling actor who gets nervous when he's being filmed and Harry comes up with a plan to help him relax when the cameras are rolling.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
Love Me If You Dare by @boosbabycakes28 (BoosBabycakes)
Harry and Louis’ friendship starts with a game, after a simple dare. The two little boys quickly become the best of friends and referees of their own game.
Unfortunately, as they grow up, they sometimes become the victims of it too.
With them, everything is possible. They are capable of daring each other to do anything.
But will they dare confess their feelings for each other?
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
always an angel, never a god by @outropeace (outropeace)
To understand the level of deep water Louis was in, one first needed to know he has had the same best friend since he was five. Ethan Astor was family to him—a friend who he loved deeply despite their differences. A friend he would do almost anything for. So when Ethan came to him with the plan, no matter how he felt about it, Louis accepted it.
At first, it was simple, he just had to flutter his eyelashes at any of the boys that showed interest in Ethan, and if they fell for it, he just dumped them without telling them the reason. Somehow, the rumors spread around campus that Ethan had an insufferable friend they had to somehow win over to reach him. Like a final monster before getting the princess.
Or: Harry likes Louis’ best friend and there's a rumor that in order to get a chance with him, he should woo Louis first.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
The Wild Night to Memory Loss to Soul Mates Pipeline by @the-cheshire-pussy-cat (thecheshirepussycat)
“What the fuck are you on—holy shit,” Louis gasps, looking down at his own hand to see a white gold band wrapped his left ring finger. “Wh-what is going on?”
“Sure is a conundrum,” the man muses, realization flashing in his green eyes.
“I-I’m not married, I can’t be married,” Louis mumbles to himself, staring wide-eyed at the ring, heart racing a mile a minute.
AKA: Harry and Louis get drunkenly married in Las Vegas, as one does.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:
love is pain, pain is pleasure by @louixamor (louixamor)
After a series of disturbing events threaten his safety, Louis has no choice but to hire a new bodyguard.
Enter Harry, an incredibly attractive, judgmental asshole who hates Louis’ guts.
⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.: ⋆*･ﾟ: .⋆ ⋆*+･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ:*⋆.*･ﾟ+.:

Hello! Happy 28th! This is my April 2023 fic rec. The first two fics listed were just published this month, so I wanted to highlight those first. The rest are in no particular order. Enjoy!!!
And What If I Were You by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom (109k)
For Louis, will losing his sight give him the clarity to realise what is right in front of him?
For Harry, will losing the love of his life give him the strength to finally open his heart?
And can they find their way back, before they lose each other forever?
A story of love. A story of loss. A story of fighting for each other, no matter the odds.
Darkest Before Dawn by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose (50k)
Harry Styles has standards. His coffee must be a cold brew with one pump of vanilla and a splash of cold cream. His computer must be catty-cornered on his left. His sketchbook must be directly in the center of his desk. He must have a cork board on his right to pin fabrics, sketches, and other inspirations he finds.
But most importantly, his space,—work or living,—must be organized. He doesn’t understand how people live otherwise. Everything has a place and it must be in its place in order for him to get anything done. Which is why he grits his teeth every time when he walks into the fashion workroom and sees Louis Tomlinson’s workspace.
It’s chaos. He’s chaos personified. He’s annoying, loud, and well… not as creative as Harry is. His designs are unimaginative and plain. Harry doesn’t understand how Louis managed to be accepted into the fashion program, but he supposes some people have to slip through the system.
Best Kind of Bad Something by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze (40k)
Nobody really understood Harry and Louis. Not even Louis. But for Louis, the world began and ended with Harry, and there were certain things he just wasn’t capable of explaining.
or Louis is the town troublemaker and everyone hates him except for Harry.
Part one of go ahead, rip my heart out if that's what love's all about
Come Home to My Heart by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze (25k)
Harry was always going to be beautiful, he thought. And he knew deep down that his heart still beats for Harry, that he loved him something so terrible, and those two things would never change.
or a chance encounter, four years later, brings Louis and Harry back together.
Part two of go ahead, rip my heart out if that's what love's all about
It Goes, It’s Golden by lucythegoosey / @harryrainbows (150k)
The chaos Zayn left in his wake wouldn't feel so disastrous if Harry had Louis. But everything between them crashed and burned a long time ago. All Harry is left with is a hopeless longing and a fear that the band's current disarray will set in for good.
... And then he finds himself stuck on a sixteen hour plane trip with Louis Tomlinson.
This could either be the most awkward flight of Harry's life, or the beginning of an atonement he's been dreaming of since 2013.
Canon Compliant AU in which Harry and Louis broke under the strain of it all and now, years on, there's a chance to put all the pieces back together. Set in early April 2015 all the way through to October. Written in Harry and Louis' perspectives, alternating every chapter.
Let Your Heart Be Light by cyantific / @cyantific (77k)
Louis Tomlinson, a self-proclaimed holiday-hater, loses his job two weeks before Christmas. Broke and desperate to see his family back home in England, he takes the only job left at the mall as one of Santa’s helpers. Harry is an unconventional mall Santa, the youngest one they’ve had in years, but with as much holiday spirit as any other seasoned Saint Nick. He’s determined to un-Grinch the new guy in Santa’s Village if it takes until Christmas, then he finds out the devastating reason Louis has lost his Christmas cheer. Will Harry be just the thing Louis needs to help him get his sparkle back?
Featuring Liam as the manager at Santa's Village, Niall as an easy-going Irish elf and Harry's best friend, grumpy Grinch Louis and his best friend Zayn and one matchmaking Mrs. Claus.
A 2022 Advent Fic
That Sounds Fake but Okay by dancingontheceiling (112k)
Harry Styles is a rookie journalist forced to work the gossip desk at a major New York magazine. Louis Tomlinson is the A-list actor who doesn't appreciate Harry or his articles.
Twist and Then Collide by bananasandboots / @anylessreal (180k)
"These instances can last anywhere from a few days to a few months," one doctor says. "Or they can persist indefinitely."
"Indefinitely?" Louis questions, the only one of them able to find his voice. He keeps throwing cautious glances at Harry, searching to make sure he's okay, to make sure he's still with them, still breathing. Harry wishes he wouldn't. He swallows the bile rising up the back of his throat, audibly exhaling through his nose, sharp breaths, small breaths. It's all he can do to keep from emptying his stomach.
"Travis is in a coma," the doctor says. "There's no way to be certain how long it might last."
Or, the one where Harry's boyfriend falls into a coma and Harry falls for his boyfriend's best friend.
Into That Goodnight by devilinmybrain / @thedevilinmybrain (62k)
Once upon a time, there was a boy. But not just any sort of boy. This was a clever boy, the cleverest of them all.

໑ Do You See What I See by @allwaswell16
(T, 2k, acquaintances, veterinarian au, stray animals, vet louis)

really cute story based on the “Piña Colada” song.
໑ Feeling, Fucking, and Falling in Love by imtiredanditswinter
(NR, 2k, established relationship, historial au, pwp, read tags)
i just want to make a disclaimer that even though the tags say “servant Harry”, it doesn’t mean there’s coercion for the things that happen between him and louis. having said that, this was very hot and if you enjoy smut with feelings, you’ll like this one.
໑ nights like these by localopa / @voulezloux
(G, 3.7k, strangers to lovers, poor louis)
this story has definitely give a new perspective (for me) to the song “Silver Tongues”. it’s so beautifully written and the angst is delicious.
໑ There's More Than Meets The Eye by @faithinwalls369
(NR, 4.5k, strangers to lovers, blind date, blindfold)
such a sweet story abt a unique first date! the descriptions were so on point, and the characters were delightful!
໑ one chance (kiss him you fool) by localopa / @voulezloux
(M, 5.5k, friends to lovers, 5+1 things, pining)
this so fun and entertaining, and heartbreaking too with each time Louis’ intentions failed. i loved how the author portrayed Louis’ feelings.
໑ Hate is a Strong Word by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo
(T, 8.7k, coworkers, hate to love, office au)
this was so entertaining and funny! i feel like what made it better was to have both POVs. if you enjoy the coworkers trope, you’ll truly enjoy this one!
໑ I Still Crave It by @germericangirl
(E, 16k, strangers to lovers, a/b/o au, chemist harry, scenting)
this was so fun! i loved Louis’ obliviousness of his own feelings and the ending was very sweet.
໑ i’m still standing (after all this time) by localopa / @voulezloux
(M, 22.5k, strangers to lovers, music industry au, pop punk louis, pop harry, read tags and author’s note)
this was so painful to get through but i knew it would eventually get better. just bare in mind the tags please. over all, there were so great nizouis moments and the chemistry between Harry and Louis was through the roof.

(E, 35.7k, strangers to lovers, fantasy au, garden fairies, world building, mentions of war, read tags)
i don’t know how to express what i feel about this fic because it’s so precious! it made me feel warm all over, and it made me feel like living in a magic world. if you like fantasy, you’ll love this one.
໑ Where I End and You Begin by @starryhazelou
(E, 42.7k, strangers to lovers, famous/non-famous, rock star harry, mua louis, please read tags and author’s notes)
absolutely fantastic from start to finish. the characterisations and the details on the timeline and outfits were perfect. the tension between Louis and Harry was driving me crazy, and then the angst… it was the kind that gives you a weird feeling in your stomach, it doesn’t hurt (at least to me) a lot but it’s there.
໑ Darkest Before the Dawn by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose
(E, 50.5k, enemies to lovers, university au, fashion designer harry, fashion designer louis, grief, read tags and author’s note)
this was quite the journey. the tension between the main characters felt so real but i think what i liked the most about this story is the talk about grief. it’s a very sincere and realistic piece of work so you should definitely check it out.
໑ And What If I Were You by @jacaranda-bloom
(E, 110k, exes to lovers, famous/non-famous au, actor harry, artist louis, blind louis)
if there’s one thing you can expect from this author is to end up with a little piece of her heart with each work, and this is no exception. the story was so well structured and you can see the world through Louis’ eyes even if it sounds crazy, but the best part is that you can also see it on Harry’s and you, as well as him, will realise how normal is not for everyone. the art for the fic is spectacular!
໑ Say It Somehow by frenchkiss / @lesbidirection
(E, 129k, strangers to lovers, theatre au, actor louis, technician harry, musical references)
i’m in love with this author’s writing. this fic felt like watching a show, it had everything and was very entertaining. the characters were so good to each other, but in a very human non-perfect way. and at the same time, the story explores what it’s like to work in theatre from someone with experience so if you like theatre AND you like love stories, you’ll love this one!

These are my top 10 fics that I think you guys NEED to read. They're in no particular order, only 10 of the fics that I read recently and really liked! Some are old, some are new but all are equally deserving of attention and appreciation. Please check them out, and don't forget to leave kudos and supportive comments!
Happy Reading! 💞
🍂 Desires for Woolgatherings by isolated/ @theisolatedlily (E, 86.5k)
In the midst of his second world tour, Louis Tomlinson receives the devastating news that his former bandmate, Harry Styles, is in critical condition after an unfortunate accident. Fresh with the loss of his mother and his sister, Louis’ world darkens once more as he flies out to California, preparing for the worst. There, Louis is faced with the ghost of his past, realizing the hand he played in the band’s division. As time goes on, Harry’s condition becomes dire, and his only chances of survival forces Louis to participate in a makeshift, illegal drug trial orchestrated by a dubious neuroscientist.
🍂 Keep Driving by dead_tobeginwith (M, 2k)
Louis works as a driver contracted through the local cancer institute. All of his clients are associated with the hospital—mostly patients and their families heading home. One rainy afternoon, he picks up Harry.
🍂 Went down in Flames by hazzahtomlinson/ @itsnotreal (E, 26k)
Louis was in an absolutely shit storm. He had let it go on for too long. Let it go too far. But he had a plan. And tonight, said plan was going down. He was going to tell the boys he was proposing this weekend. ‘Harry’ would turn him down, albeit gently, and Louis would play the heartbroken boyfriend. He’d gotten this far. All he had to do was lock himself in his bedroom and cry a little. He’d been in a few plays growing up. Piece of cake.
Except. It didn’t go that way. Of course, it didn’t. Because the universe, the beautiful chaotic bitch that she was, just had to have an actual Harry Styles and he just had to be Niall’s best friend.
🍂 ti dedico le autostrade che portano al mare by me_her_themoon/ @greeneyesfriedrice (E, 87.6k)
Louis goes on hiatus for six months to a small coastal town in Italy where he doesn’t expect to fall in love with the charming baker
🍂 into that goodnight by devilinmybrain/ @thedevilinmybrain (E, 62k)
Once upon a time, there was a boy. But not just any sort of boy. This was a clever boy, the cleverest of them all.
🍂 The Lesser King by HelenaAzure (NR, 8.5k)
Louis goes off to war leaving Harry on the throne. But Harry has a dangerous secret of his own. With time running out and his health on the line, will Harry break and tell Louis, or will he consume the dangerous poison of insecurity destroying everything they have.
🍂 Through Darkest Clouds by LadyLondonderry/ @londonfoginacup (T, 3.7k)
Orpheus and Eurydice AU (MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH, sad with happy ending.)
🍂 Don't Go In The Woods by guccikings/ @harryeatsburger (M, 39k)
the one where Louis has the brilliant idea to go camping alone and unprepared. Luckily, he meets Harry, who is very much prepared and happy to help out. Unluckily, they aren’t as alone as they think they are.
aka the spontaneous camping trip from hell.
🍂 Don't Worry, Darling by amomentoflove/ @daggerandrose (E, 27k)
Frank and Shelley Harper are the founders of the Victory Project-- a place for his employees and their spouses to live, to work, and to enjoy themselves while keeping safe from the outside world.
Louis and Harry Styles are the newest inhabitants of Victory, but when Louis begins to question his reality, he has to rely on himself and his husband to find out the truth.
🍂 From this moment on by therogueskimo/ @bravetemptation (NR, 52k)
Louis Tomlinson needs a tour photographer, and he thinks he's found the one in the mysterious H on Instagram.
Harry Styles swore he'd never do tour photography again - that is, until he did.

a treat for a trick — @thelesserneptune
666 words / @1dtrickortreatfest / Harry x Louis
To celebrate his breakup from a man that did not love him, Louis brings back to his place the hottest man at the pub, who seems just as eager to get a taste of him.
This fic has a big plot twist! The reader will have to wait till the end of the ficlet to know what was going on, but it’s definitely worth a read!
call me darling — hydrangeathursdays / @spookside
666 words / @1dtrickortreatfest / Gen
Liam rescues a rather special cat. Featuring village gossip, pumpkin lanterns and pet names.
If the summary of this fic doesn't draw you in, I promise you that the ending is absolutely worth it. It's perfect!
Inclination — crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel
666 words / @1dtrickortreatfest / Harry x Louis
Ever since becoming a vampire, Harry vowed to never drink blood from a human. But would he be able to resist when his boyfriend—the only person Harry had ever been tempted to drink from—suggested Harry feed from him?
The end of this fic is something no one would expect, it might a big shock for the reader but you should definitely read it. (We definitely recommend reading the tags on this one!)
take my hand (i won’t let go) — @tempolarriefix
666 words / @1dtrickortreatfest / Harry x Louis
in which zayn and liam are in love, niall doesn't want to third wheel, louis hates scary things, and harry works in a haunted house.
aka the ficlet haunted house meet-cute that you never knew you needed.
This is definitely the haunted house meet-cute ficlet everyone was screaming to get! Even though it’s only 666 words, the author portrays an adorably funny dynamic between all the characters.
the bitter souls who will never rest — wordsnnotes / @quelsentiment
666 words / @1dtrickortreatfest / Gen
“You’re sitting on our grave, pal.”
Spooky, funny, and ultimately sweet. What more could you ask for?
The Hellebore Theatre — amomentoflove / @daggerandrose
2.029 words / Harry x Louis
Harry is scared shitless. For months, he’s been on edge, waiting for the moment when he’ll hear the words he’s been longing to hear and now he finally has. But now, they come with a great weight hanging over his head.
“You’re on,” the director tells him only minutes before the curtain is supposed to rise.
or the one where Harry is a swing and has to perform the leading role of King Louis Tomlinson in front of King Louis Tomlinson
What better way to get into the mood for Spooky Season than to read about some vampires? And this one has an awesome twist too!
Hold in, Hold on — sunbakedinthecosmos
4.326 words / Harry x Louis
His brain is empty of thoughts other than “run” and his heart is beating out of his chest.
There’s energy drink in sticky puddles across the floor seeping into cracks. Cans strewn from the sliding doors and around into other aisles. The air smells too sweet and the tension is building to an uncomfortable level.
Louis prides himself on not backing down from uncomfortable situations normally, but this isn’t one of those times. He turns on his heels, cautious not to knock over anything a second time. One public embarrassment is enough for the day. He’s out the door in seconds, red faced with heat settling in his temples and cheeks.
“What just happened?” he huffs out.
This was a short and sweet story filled with new and evolving relationships, vivid and lush scenery, and a cute and classic storyline. There are some super amusing moments that will make you chuckle!
Leo Season — @disgruntledkittenface
5.325 words / @grimmyappreciation-blog / Louis x Grimmy
“Didn’t catch your name earlier?” he asks, tilting his head to go along with his lilting voice.
“Nnrg,” Nick replies smoothly, failing to meet Louis’ hand with his own as he realizes just how garbled his smooth reply actually was. He overcorrects and vaguely slaps Louis’ hand before managing to wring it in his own, much to Louis’ apparent amusement.
Carefree. Confident. Over the top. Nick may be a bit of a disaster, but no one can deny the mood for Leo season suits him.
This is a delightful fic with plenty of banter and sex appeal, just right for readers in the mood for something flirty and fun.
Of Swords and Sage — etchasketchcity
34.857 words / Harry x Liam
Liam knows that Harry, the innkeeper’s son, dislikes him. He won’t go so far as hate, since he doesn’t seem capable of anything stronger than stirring the soup cauldron or, more importantly, rolling a casket of mead into place behind the inn’s serving counter. Hate is definitely too strong a word. Annoyed, maybe. Disapproving, definitely.
But Liam doesn’t concern himself with the intractable approval of the innkeeper’s son. He’s here for a job, not to fraternize. In fact, if there’s one thing he’s learned from his travels since he’s picked up his bow and his sword, it’s that making friends with the locals only makes his job more complicated. And Liam has never liked complicated.
This fic does a really good job of immersing you in its fantasy world of witches and hunters and magic, dropping you right into a tale that’s, at times, both gruesome and haunting. But the underlying tension between the main characters and their shifting understanding of each other truly brings a light that shines in the darkness and ultimately leaves you wanting more.
—-
As always, support the authors by leaving kudos and comments! Happy Spooky Season and happy reading!

Previous Fic Lists / Lulu’s List Podcast Masterpost
Sorry August's list never happened! I figure late is better than never.
The podcast will come... maybe soon. Maybe not. It will be here as soon as I can possibly manage for it to be.
As always, be sure to show your love and appreciation for all of the hard work our fandom authors have put into their fics with kudos, nice comments, and (when applicable) reblogging their fic posts!
As You Wish by @kingsofeverything / kingsofeverything (25k, E, Harry/Louis, Big Bang fic, genie Louis, well more like former genie Louis hah, established relationship, but that doesn't mean things are calm and easy because they're anything but lol, Louis is a disaster human but that just makes me love him more, heist, rescue mission, listen this fic was just so much more than I anticipated somehow and has so many feelings, it's amazing truly)

Souperhero by @londonfoginacup / LadyLondonderry (4k, G, Harry/Louis, hero Harry, antihero Louis, enemies to lovers, basically kinda sorta?, except also not really, more like Louis is against everything Harry as a hero stands for, which makes more sense in the worldbuilding, this was basically emmu's excuse to be rose tyler and write an entire fic with pro-union themes, and i adore every moment of it lol)

1D Monthly Fic Roundup
Hi, and welcome to the 1D Monthly Fic Roundup for July 2022! 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.
Happy reading!
🔹Anything that feels good by bluegreenish / @greenblueish [E, 13k, Harry/Louis]
A few seconds pass, then Louis suddenly blurts out the last thing Harry expected him to bring up that night.
“Harry, do you want to nest?”
A mixture of distraught coughing and choking escapes Harry's throat. It feels like his lungs have a leak and all the air is flowing out without him being able to do anything about it.
“What do you mean?” he croaks when he finds his voice again. “Alphas don’t nest.”
or, the one where alpha Harry gifts Louis nesting supplies, but the omega doesn’t nest.
🔹Here You Come Again by @neondiamond [E, 22k, Louis/Harry]
A year after taking over his family’s peach orchard, Louis thinks he has it all figured out. His routine on the farm is mundane, yet familiar, and his dog Clifford is more than enough to keep him company. It isn’t until Harry, his ex-boyfriend who broke his heart and left their small town a decade ago to pursue a bigger, brighter future in the city, comes to stay on the farm that he realises just how badly he was lying to himself.
🔹dream about a summer night by fearsparks / @onlyforbravest [T, 33k, Louis/Harry]
“Have you kissed yet?”
Harry stammered before finally managing to ask, “What?”
Niall laughed at him and threw an arm around his shoulder, pulling him in. “I said, have you kissed yet? You’re acting like a proper couple, you two.”
“I know.” Harry smiled wistfully. “It’s pretty new.”
“New? Nuh-uh,” Niall disagreed. “You’ve been acting like this the entire summer.”
(Working alongside each other as camp counsellors, Harry and Louis grow closer than they’ve ever been before. That’s not a problem, but now they have these newfound feelings for each other to deal with.)
🔹On Your Left by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose [T, 11k, Harry/Louis]
“Get up! It's Disneyland week!” Louis shouts to his two friends from the end of their bed. It's six in the morning and Louis has been awake for a while trying to kill time before an appropriate hour to wake up his travel companions.
“What time is it?” Liam groggily asks. He pulls the covers from his eyes and squints up to Louis.
“ … six.”
“The fuck, Lou?”
“I'm sorry! The dining hall opens soon and the rope drop is at eight. Plus, Zayn is going to take for-fucking-ever to get ready.”
“Don't drag me into this,” Zayn grumbles. He pulls the covers tighter over his head.
"How long have you been awake?” Liam asks. He halfway sits up in bed so as to not bother Zayn.
“… three-thirty.”
“Louis! You're going to crash by noon today.” Liam falls back down on the bed.
“I won't! The spirit of Walt Disney will keep me awake!”
🔹Hill Country by safetyfilm / @larrieblr [E, 11k, Harry/Louis]
Louis is a farmer. His family gives him hell for it, only because it’s not a nine to five job and he should set a better example for his siblings.
When he's invited (scratch that, required) to pay a visit for a will reading, he has to double down on his work chores in advance. But spring break is just around the corner in Austin, which means Harry's free and he really, really wants to hang out.
🔹I know I've got this (because I've had it all along) by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed [T, 16k, Louis/Harry]
Louis’ grip is delicate when she pinches the edge of the paper, brows furrowing as she reads the words that are written in an elegant loopy script. She glances at Liam once the words sink in, and he looks so happy and proud, so expectant. He’s on the edge of his seat, only Zayn’s hand on his shoulder holding him back, and Louis can feel something murky swirling in her stomach at the thought of having to feign appreciation.
Harry StylesBody Positivity & Boudoir Photography
The card is purple, the letters printed on it in black, with an almost lace looking overlay over the words. There’s what might be a bow belonging to a cute pair of panties separating Harry’s name from the service they offer. It’s a cute card.
It’s what’s on the other side that has Louis’ stomach in a knot.
Good for one (1) photography session and up to thirty (30) photos of your choice.
🔹starin' back from the lookin' glass (there stood a woman where a half-grown boy had stood) by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou [E, 23k, Harry/Louis]
Harry squeezed his feet into the black heels his mother handed him from their little satin bag and stood up, slightly wobbly for a few seconds before he caught himself.
“They’re small on you, I know,” Mama said quietly as she went and grabbed the mirror. “You’ll have to use your first money to get a place to stay, but after that you need to buy shoes that fit you…”
She was still speaking, but Harry couldn’t hear her anymore over the blood rushing in his ears as she turned the mirror and made him look at himself.
He looked… He was… He felt like a woman. Where just under an hour ago, he’d seen a boy, barely a young man, shaving off the bits of his beard that had started to grow in so late, he now saw a woman. She was as real as he had ever seen. His posture, unsure and shy, morphed into hers, shoulders straight and hip cocked as she tried her best to balance herself on the high heels she’d inherited.
🔹Firebird by @wabadabadaba [G, 999 words, Niall/Liam]
“Who is it?” Liam questioned in a whisper. Again, Niall waved him off, but Liam skated to her other side. “Who is it?”
Niall pushed Liam away from her and flipped him off when he hooked his stick around her ankle and pulled himself back in. She was having a hard time focusing on what Paul was saying and she knew Liam wouldn’t stop so she relented and put it on speaker.
“I have seen some of the roster, you have some great guys so far. I have coached a couple over the years,” Niall spoke.
Liam puckered his lips for a kiss, knowing she was referring to him, but she rolled her eyes and pushed his face away.
or Niall is helping Liam practice before his training camp and she gets exciting news about an acclaimed position she interviewed for.
🔹Zoey by @wabadabadaba [G, 2k, Harry/Louis]
Harry knew his first name, but he liked the way Dr. Tomlinson sounded more. Harry watched as Louis unclasped her harness and set it aside and pet her back and under her chin. Louis kissed the top of her head and murmured sweet nothings to her- mostly about how pretty she is and how well behaved she is. Harry wished it was him.
or Harry has a huge crush on his cat's veterinarian and finally decides to do something about it.
🔹Will Death Be Our Last Kiss, My Love? by @fallinglikethis [M, 6k, Louis/Harry]
As a half-veela, Louis has always had a past full of romantic turmoil. But his past comes back to bite him fully on the ass when a case falls into the lap of fellow aurors, Niall and Liam. A case with which Louis has a disturbing connection to the victims.
🔹Let Them Eat Cock by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [E, 1k, Harry/Louis]
For Bastille Day, (King) Louis gives his loyal subjects a cheeky choice: Kiss the Crown or Storm the Bastille.
Part 6 of Glory Hole-idays
🔹it gets dark by @finelinegynandromorph [E, 98k, Harry/Louis]
“I feel like a pin-up of everything I should be at 28,” Louis confesses after a moment. He glances quickly to Harry, concerned he hasn’t phrased himself properly, but she just nods with empathy. And Louis always forgets, he supposes, how Harry really does understand, even if they’re coming at it from different places. They orbit each other, swimming after associations the other never wanted—they always have, and as Louis stands here biting his lip and feeling overcome by stepping into the costume society expected him to pull on as his everyday skin, he realizes that Harry might be the person who understands that best in the world.
or, harry’s a drag queen and louis’ been in love with her for years. an unexpected ode to femininity, in all of its complexity
🔹and i don't care it's obvious by @alwaysxlarrie [T, 20k, Louis/Harry]
However, his issue was that no one had ever created a guide that one could follow in regards to what to do or how to feel when your crush was your sister's best friend. Harry would like someone to please come up with a book dedicated to said guidelines because as it was, he was absolutely winging it and hoping for the best.
🔹Do You Remember Nineteen by Kikiberoski16 / @larrysballetslippers [T, 9k, Louis/Harry]
Harry was nervous, more than ever before. MSG was something they never dreamt of reaching at only nineteen years old. He took a few deep breaths and looked at his husband, marrying young was the best decision of his life. Harry traced over his ‘L’ tattoo and waited for the sign to approach the stage. The screaming fans fired up his belly. The curtains fell down and the boys started playing.
“We’re The Fools! Get loud!”
🔹Truebonds by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom [E, 39k, Louis/Harry]
Louis doesn't mind being an omega, most of the time. Modern medicine allows him to suppress almost all of his omega traits, but the one thing it can't suppress is his scenting cycle. Fortunately, that only needs to be dealt with every seven years and he counts himself lucky that he can afford the services of a reputable agency.
With his cycle due, he reviews the matched candidates and there's one alpha who fits all of his criteria, S28A. That's pretty much where things start to unravel.
Enter Harry Styles, scenter for hire.
Or the one where Louis is an omega in need, Harry is an alpha for hire, and destiny presents them with a fate they never saw coming.
🔹Now You're Lost, Lost In The Heat Of It All by @marchessa [E, 44k, Harry/Louis]
Green eyes flashed under the emperor's helmet, and he stood proudly in all his glorious armour even when the plates were smudged with blood and dirt, and in some places the steel was dented in. It would have been obvious even to a blind man that the alpha fought alongside his soldiers.
Courage was rapidly deserting Louis as he walked even closer to the menacing statue of raw power and authority. In the emperor's close proximity, the omega queen felt the need to swoon like a damsel in distress, and he had to grit his teeth and focus on the pain his body suffered from to ground himself against the dizziness that slowly began to cover his head in a fuzzy blanket.
" Emperor Styles," Louis greeted him, leaving his bodyguards behind.
Or the story of a great medieval Emperor and his consort.
🔹Here's Your Perfect by @brightgolden [E, 54k, Harry/Louis]
All finesse tossed aside, Harry yanks the envelope from Miss Eden’s hand. He hears her laugh, bright and cheerful as he tears into the envelope. His eyes skipping over the complimentary paragraph congratulating him for being assigned, settling into the centre of the letter - the name of his future mate.
And suddenly, Harry feels there isn’t enough air in this world for him to inhale as he recites the name in his mind. Louis Tomlinson.
In the world where mates are assigned to everyone and deposited to their door when an agreeable partner is found for them, Alpha Louis has recently been given his. However, he is nothing like the type of alpha that the omega academy prepares Harry for.
🔹Sheer Pride by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson [T, 4k, Louis/Harry]
“Wait-” Louis says suddenly, turning around after taking a couple of small steps forward. “It’s just, wow, you’re at Pride with a baby… who’s missing a shoe, by the way.”
“Oh, shit,” the stranger replies, but covers the infant's ears too late. It makes Louis laugh for the first time in a while.
Or: A Pride AU where Louis finally moves out.
🔹Strange Blue Water by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson [M, 2k, Louis/Harry]
Harry drives home just in time to see the sun.
Or: A Cowboy AU.
🔹Maybe Tomorrow? by Lhhome / @lh-home [E, 13k, Harry/Louis]
Louis resumes walking towards his apartment, lost in thoughts of Harry and how much he wishes he could just ignore his insecurities and also skip over the part where he has to figure out if Harry could even feel the same way as Louis does without ruining their friendship and just get to a part where they are together. It’s only as he is in bed and drifting off to sleep with images of a laughing Harry that Louis realises that he never told Niall his name.
🔹In the midst of a storm by wordsnnotes / @quelsentiment [M, 54, OT5]
Zayn didn’t know that a new story was about to unfold right in front of his eyes.
If he had known, maybe he wouldn't have been so quick to claim that his life was quiet and uneventful, even verging on boring at times. If he had known, it was hard to say whether he would have stayed in bed that day, kept the bookshop closed, and avoided all that was to come or, on the contrary, gone to the pier himself to greet the newcomer with eagerness.
🔹Searching for a Paradise by wordsnnotes / @quelsentiment [T, 5k, Zayn/Harry]
With a good career, a nice apartment and a kind boyfriend, it would be fair to say that Harry has it all figured out. But when her old friend Zayn comes back to London after years of travelling the world, Harry starts to doubt the life that she's built for herself.
🔹Something Blue & Someone New by @littleroverlouis [E, 6k, Harry/Louis]
Single Alpha Louis moves into a new apartment building and doesn't realize he misses courting someone until meeting his next door neighbor, a charming Omega named Harry.
Louis is working up the nerve to officially ask him to court, but what if Harry secretly beats him to the punch?
🔹Crowd Work by @littleroverlouis [T, 2k, Louis/Harry]
Harry is a stand up comedian that likes to interact with his audience.
Although tonight, someone turns the tables and roasts him.
-Fic Fest-
🔹Wanker's Day Fic Fest @wankersday / masterpost

✤ Witch Fics ✤
A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
- Top 5 H/L Fics -
1️⃣ the school of extraordinary lovers by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci (M, 191)
"We keep telling the other, I love you and I love you, and we do, though we both know where the knives are." - Laura Van Prooyen
harry is a third-year witch and violinist at Laitswold, the only magical academy in the UK, with dreams of taking on the world, and hopefully breaking the centuries-old curse on his family while he's at it. he does not dream of facing off against his childhood rival and duet partner, but louis is back in town after six years abroad, so that's exactly what happens.
2️⃣ love is divine by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci (M, 25k)
Being a witch doesn't help when it comes to unrequited love.
3️⃣ Drops of Jupiter by @itsmotivatingcara (M, 121k)
In a small, sleepy town ruled by prejudice, Louis Tomlinson runs his grandmothers shop for the occult. He finds comfort in his tarot cards, his friends, and a dog that he doesn't have room for. He thought the worst he'd have to deal with would be bigotry, until a new sheriff arrives with a headstrong little girl that's impossible not to fall in love with.
But what happens when a string of break-ins leads to a brutal attack, and the towns' darling is murdered right under their Sunday hats? A murder that just so happens to bear the same modus operandi as similar homicides in neighbouring states. Has the killer been circling Virginia, or is he a local of Lavender Hills?
And what will Louis do when the charming Sheriff Styles starts to suspect him of such a heinous crime?
4️⃣ What Good Are The Stars Above by ultravioletInk (M, 68k)
A gratuitous alternate universe where Harry is more interested in the Slytherins than a Gryffindor Muggleborn has any right to be, Louis has settled into his preordained role, and Liam just really wants to get his friends through their final year of Hogwarts without accruing any casualties.
5️⃣ House of The Rising Sun by @itsmotivatingcara (M, 101k)
“It wasn’t me.” Louis said after they’d walked a block in silence, Harry glanced over in surprise but this time Louis didn’t meet his eyes, instead looking ahead. The moonlight cast shadows under his striking cheekbones, and not for the first time, Harry thought he was eerily beautiful - though immortality would likely have a hand in that. “It was supposed to be, but I got caught up in something else.”
“Something more important than murdering a witch” Harry snarked, “Will wonders never cease.”
He felt Louis’ irritation before he spoke again, “Careful, little lamb.” He murmured.
Little lamb.
Harry despised the nickname Louis had given him when they’d first met nine months prior. Little Lamb to the slaughter, Louis had said mockingly.
Or The Originals AU that no one asked for.
HIDDEN GEMS:
💎 A Spell and A Spark by @dinosaursmate (T, 73k)
“We have something to tell you.”
Louis’ eyes slowly looked around the room. He frowned at the absence of anyone else.
“We? Who? You and the cat?” Louis scoffed.
“Yes.”
Louis glanced at Niall, unimpressed. The black cat was looking at him quizzically.
“Right. Well, spit it out, Mum.”
“There’s no easy way to tell you this, so I’m just going to say it.” She took a deep breath. “You’re a witch.”
---
Louis is a teenage witch, living and attending university among mortals. He has to keep his secret whilst studying on both his degree and his witch's licence. His friends don't suspect a thing, even as spell after spell goes awry.
💎 Spinning Out Waiting for You by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose (M, 18k)
Harry Styles is a year and a half away from graduating with a masters in potions and he has one huge milestone to reach in his academy career: the Matching Ceremony.
From Halloween night until graduation, matched witches and familiars will have to create a talisman to be a physical representation of their bond. One for the witch and one for the familiar. Most pairings last an entire lifetime.
If only it were that simple.
💎 Just Your Jinx by @larryatendoftheday (T, 10k)
Harry Styles may or may not have accidentally jinxed his extremely fit new neighbor, and it's not so easy to make things right.
💎 Babe, There's Something Lonesome About You by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey (M, 8k)
Louis is a hedge witch, who lives a lonely, solitary life. He's quite happy with his shop in Door County, selling New Age magics to the tourists. He also has his cats and his birds to keep him company. But his best friend Liam thinks he needs someone around, and he's got just the person: Liam's friend Harry is coming to the area for the tourist season and since Louis has all this space....
💎 Cookbooks and Toothpicks and One Lizard by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (G, 3k)
If there is one thing that Harry hates about Halloween, it’s what a spectacle everyone suddenly makes around him.
Sure, he loves his friends, but he really wishes that this one, singular day of the year they could all just be chill. It’s as if for 364 days they forget what his profession is entirely, and then all remember at the same moment on the morning of October 31st. Oh yeah! I have a friend who is a witch! I should reconnect with him on this particular day, I’m sure he’s not already got plans of any kind!
Well not this year. This year he's going to the library.

Come Back, My Love, 100.2k by amomentoflove
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.
A Don’t Worry, Darling sequel to be told in three parts starting September 23rd.
Now complete!

✨Emmu's Birthday Author Recs✨
Love love love your fics, could read them all day every day and never get bored of them
Three wonderful fics from:
Amomentoflove // @daggerandrose
Eco-Friendly
Harry/Louis Niall/Zayn 3k
the one where Harry just wants to get through one college year with a good roommate
Mind of Stone
Harry/Louis 41k
Louis gingerly moves around the statues, trying not to look at their faces. The room is quiet, probably a basement from the low ceiling. He mentally curses when he doesn’t see a door leading outside.
He checks his phone and gawks that it’s no longer early into Saturday night, but well into Sunday morning. He’s lost almost twelve hours, and he really doesn’t know how that’s possible.
He needs to find a way back home, and then figure out what the fuck happened at the bar tonight.
Scent Partner
Harry/Louis 4k
The name of the company was horrible: Scent Partner. Whoever was on the marketing team should be fired immediately for green-lighting that name. But the instructions were simple.
Alphas wear a shirt for three days and nights. The shirt gets sent to omegas nearing their heats to pick the alpha who smells the best to them. The company notifies the alpha and gives them the opportunity to say no. If both parties agree, they meet at a heat room for the omega’s heat. Everything is safe and consensual.
