HL Fic Library 😎🤓 Popular Louis/Nerd Harry Fics
Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.
😎 This Offer Stands Forever by Tomlinsontoes / @pianolouis {M, 78k}
Harry is who high school kids would define as a nerd, he loved going to class and studying, he was just good at school work and saw nothing wrong with liking it. He signs up to tutor students at the middle school down the road where he ends up helping Lottie Tomlinson, younger sister to the ever popular and gorgeous Louis Tomlinson who is also a senior and in a few classes of Harry's. Harry might have a crush on him and not so sure how to act around Louis but hopes he can get close to the other boy and learn everything about him.
🤓 Want You More Than A by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 77k}
Falling in love with your step-brother’s best friend is a disaster enough. When he happens to be the boy everyone loves and you’re a nerd who wears sweater vests and cries during rom-coms, it takes it to a whole new level.
😎 I hear you calling in the dead of night by Thelonelycoast {M, 72k}
No one really notices Marcel Styles. In fact, Marcel’s so invisible that if his teachers don’t call on him in lessons - and they rarely do - Marcel can go whole days without speaking to anyone other than his mum, his sister, Gemma, his cat, Dusty and the school librarian, Alma. And if he just so happens to have a tiny, miniscule crush on the footie captain, Louis Tomlinson, well, that’s no one’s business but his own. Until Louis notices him back...
🤓 Webs of lies by Hazzaslittle28 {E, 35k}
"Truth or Dare?" The question was delivered with a nasty smirk from Drake's side,
"Who do you think I am? Of course Dare." Louis scoffs before leaning back and adjusting his skirt,
"Very well than. Your dare is to play Styles for two months until the dance." Louis frowns at the odd dare,
"Why would you- you know what? Okay I accept it. Louis Tomlinson never looses a dare." He smirks sultrily before plucking the cigarette from Drake's mouth and taking a drag out of it.
"Let's see then."
Or The au in which The popular is given a dare to date the nerd, hearts will be broken, words will loose their meaning and tears would be shed.
😎 The Library Universe (series) by @allwaswell16 {E, 33k}
Harry Styles has a great life. He’s a children’s librarian at the New York Public Library, he’s got wonderful friends, and he loves cooking, green tea, yoga, and his collection of bow ties. He doesn’t mind that his life seems a little structured, maybe even a little boring. But when Louis Tomlinson joins the library staff as the new Installation Coordinator, things become a lot less predictable. Louis gets under his skin right from the start, bossing Harry around, making noise during story time, and eating the last cupcake in the staff lounge. Louis may be almost offensively attractive, but Harry will not be succumbing to Louis Tomlinson’s charms, even if the rest of the library staff have.
🤓 Supposed to Be by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo {M, 26k}
“I’m making a movie for a film competition, and I want you to be in it,” Harry told Louis. “I think you would be a great leading actor in it.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s you. I mean, who wouldn’t want to know all about the amazing Louis Tomlinson? It would be a great movie.”
“You don’t have some weird crush or, like, secret obsession with me, do you?” Louis asked.
Harry bit his tongue so he didn’t say “Ew, I have standards.” He didn’t think that would go over well.
Of course, that was assuming Louis understood what that meant.
Or, the Geek Charming AU where Harry's a film geek, Louis' a popular jock, and they both need each other to get what they want.
😎 He Was a Different League (When I Was Nothing Much) by @afangirlfantasy {NR, 21k}
Sick of being alone, Marcel is forced (by Niall) to join an online dating app. The idea is well and all, except for the inconvenient fact that he hasn’t moved on from his childhood sweetheart - Louis. If only Marcel could learn to let go, he might actually be able to love again.
Or, an AU where finding that 'someone new' actually leads to finding that 'someone old,' and Marcel is painfully oblivious.
🤓 taken by lust’s strange inhumanity by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry {E, 20k}
One of the reasons Harry said 'yes' in the first place was because he believed Louis Tomlinson, the campus’ most notorious “bad boy”, would be here.
And much to Harry's triumph and dismay, Louis is here but the last time Harry got a glimpse of him, he had a pretty omega wrapped around him, clinging onto the flaps of his leather jacket while nosing his scent glands.
Maybe that’s just the story of Harry's life; always infatuated with the wrong people.
OR The one with all the jealous snarling, awkward first kisses and one unforgettable night.
😎 Won't Keep You My (Dirty Little) Secret by @lovelykits {E, 16k}
“I got asked out today,” Louis comments.
“Okay,” Harry shifts.
“Did you hear me? I said I got asked out.”
"You always get asked out.”
“Yeah well this time they didn’t believe I had a boyfriend!”
Or Louis and Harry have been together since the end of last year and somehow no one knows about it.
🤓 Kings by dolce_piccante / @haydolce {T, 13k}
Marcel receives an invitation to his ten year high school reunion, which brings up some painful memories of his youth. His lifelong best friend and roommate, Louis, is as supportive and kind as ever, but Marcel still has hesitations. Louis was Prom King. Marcel...was not.
Will Marcel make the reunion a night to remember with his former classmate, Zayn, who is newly wealthy, handsome, and reveals his childhood crush on Marcel? Or will Louis finally realize what everyone else has known all along?
😎 blinded me with sweater vests by veterization {T, 13k}
Marcel really is the geekiest person Louis has ever seen with that gelled hair and that horrendous sweater vest, so it sucks that Louis really, really wants to get to know him.
🤓 A Real Work of Art by @lululawrence {NR, 11k}
“I don’t understand,” Liam said for probably the fiftieth time in ten minutes. “You have to explain again how this is a bad thing.”
“Leeeeyummm,” Harry whined into the phone as he leaned his head onto his desk. “I felt like this year was my year for getting his attention, you know? That senior year I would finally get Logan Thompson to realize I exist! But he’s in almost every single one of my classes, Li. How am I supposed to survive that?”
“Easily,” Liam answered, with the same matter of fact tone his voice always took when Harry was in one of his fits. “He doesn’t know you exist, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Right?”
Or the one where Harry calls on an old friend, the super popular Louis Tomlinson, to help him change his look to capture the heart of Logan. Things only mostly go as planned.
😎 your heart is glowing (and i'm crashing into you) by orphan_account {T, 11k}
If this were a fairytale, maybe even a Young Adult novel or a chick flick, this would be the moment where Louis would stare right into his soul and whisper, “You. It’s you, Harry,” before pulling him in for a kiss right there and then in the middle of the sidewalk. They’d confess their never-ending love for each other then hold hands for the rest of the walk home, and then they’d go to uni together and become the ultimate power couple of their campus. They’d start a family together a few years after they graduate, find a large house somewhere nice and preferably warm, get two pet dogs and five cats, and then adopt enough children to start a football team. If only men could get pregnant as well, Harry thinks wistfully. He’d love to carry Louis’ babies given the chance.
But. This isn’t a fairytale, nor is it a movie based off the latest YA bestseller. This is real life.
(harry is in love with love, volunteers to hand out valentine gifts for a week, and somehow becomes the football captain's secret admirer.)
🤓 I could give you what you deserve. by larryaresoulmates {E, 8k}
Louis is popular, Harry is his super nerdy tutor. Louis is the only one who's actually nice to Harry despite his nerdiness. Harry has a giant crush on Louis, but Louis has a boyfriend, who bullies Harry behind Louis' back.
😎 Convalescent Boy (with a Heart of Gold) by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup {T, 7k}
Just as the professor beginning to mess with his powerpoint, the door at the back of the balcony creaks open and Marcel looks back to notice Louis Tomlinson, The Louis Tomlinson, slip in and take a seat in the very back.
Marcel is starting to feel like his life is a comedy. Only yesterday was Louis Tomlinson on his floor at the library. Now he’s in his seminar. What is happening?
“Hey Mars,” Nick says, not particularly quietly as he leans over. “Isn’t that your crush?”
Marcel smacks him.
Or, the one where Marcel is a nerd who loves to learn but loves to go to theatre productions even more, and may or may not have a long time crush on the lead in most of the plays, Louis Tomlinson. The same Louis Tomlinson who seems to be appearing wherever Marcel is. Funny, that.
🤓 Seems You Cannot Be Replaced by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird {M, 5k}
Harry and the popular boy in school, Louis Tomlinson, share a tension-filled night together when they're young. Fifteen years later they see each other again.
😎 it's kinda hot in here by ballsdeepinjesus {E, 3k}
“Is that a moth on your stomach?”
or nerdy harry is hiding some stuff under his dorky clothes and louis fucks him in a locker room
🤓 Lucky by @friendofhayley {E, 4k}
When Harry had moved from London to New Jersey he had been prepared for bad spray tans and Regina George. He hadn't been prepared to meet the best thing to ever happen to him.
If only he hadn't worn an ugly brown vest covered in cat pee when he met him.
😎 No Matter What They Say by ivorydreams {M, 3k}
It's not that Harry and Louis are hiding the fact that they're in a relationship. It's not them being ashamed of each other.
People just never noticed.
Or the one where no one knows Harry Styles, the 'nerd', and Louis Tomlinson, 'mr. popular football captain', are in a romantic relationship.
🤓 ❤ For Effort by @fallinglikethis {G, 2k}
When Harry Styles lets his team down during gym class, resulting everyone having to run laps, he expects the worst. But the backlash never comes.
Harry's crush, Louis Tomlinson, may or may not have something to do with that.
#ficrec#nerdharry#marcel#popularlouis#fallinglikethis#ivorydreams#friendofhayley#ballsdeepinjesus#quickedween#larryaresoulmates#ladylondonderry#veterization#lululawrence#lovelykits#dolcepiccante#cuckootrooke#hazzaslittle28#afangirlfantasy#kikikryslee#tomlinsontoes#thecellardoor#thelonelycoast#allwaswell16#hljournal#hlcreators#trackinghappily#trackinghome#1dficvillage#tracksintheam#hlsource

A fic rec of One Direction a/b/o fics that have nesting as requested in this ask. If you enjoy the fics, please leave kudos and comments for the writers! You can find my other fic recs here. Happy reading!
—Harry/Louis—
🪹 You've Got A Higher Power, You're Once In Any Lifetime by BoosBabycakes / @boosbabycakes28
(E, 113k, slow burn) In a society full of prejudices, finding a family and being accepted, also seemed like an unrealistic utopia. Louis sets out to do what no other of his kind ever has before and in doing so, he finds love, friendship and more about himself than he thought he would.
🪹 Little by Little by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense
(E, 65k, omega/omega) Harry Styles is an omega who works at the London Planetarium, has lived in the same flat for ages, and is happy enough on his own. When he gets home from his first (horrible) attempt at dating in years, a new pregnant neighbor knocks on his door after smelling his cooking.
🪹 Sometimes You Just Know by @2tiedships2
(M, 33k, exes to lovers) the one where Harry and Louis don’t believe in soulmates… until they do.
🪹 never been a fan of change, but we’re still the same by fearsparks / @onlythebravest
(T, 27k, friends to lovers) Harry and Louis have relied on each other for over two years now, always turning to each other every time they need anything from touch to pheromones. But after Harry's omega unexpectedly causes him to drop in the pub, their relationship is no longer the same.
🪹 Empty Nest by @littleroverlouis
(E, 16k, established relationship) pregnant Omega Harry is stressed about a nest
🪹 Nest To You by @neondiamond
(T, 14k, fluff) Ten different nests Harry builds throughout his relationship with Louis.
🪹 Anything that feels good by bluegreenish / @greenblueish
(E, 13k, established relationship) the one where alpha Harry gifts Louis nesting supplies, but the omega doesn’t nest.
🪹 When Tomorrow Comes by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom
(E, 11k, uni) the one where Louis is an Omega who has been keeping himself pure for his Alpha, Harry is a traditional Alpha focusing on his studies while he waits to find his bondmate, and Niall is a sneaky bastard who keeps borrowing Louis’ clothes and never returning them.
🪹 Midnight by @kingsofeverything
(E, 10k, fwb) All Harry’d wanted to do was be a good neighbor. Now, here he is, half a year later, balls deep and four months into a no strings attached, sex only situation with the Omega of his dreams.
🪹 Waiting by @allwaswell16
(E, 10k, friends to lovers) Louis Tomlinson was Harry’s omega, of this Harry had always been sure. Unfortunately for Harry, Louis seemed to think they were just best friends. The six weeks that Harry has to live with Louis were going to be rough.
🪹 Can We Start Believing by xogucciblue
(E, 8k, friends to lovers) Harry keeps stealing pieces of Louis' clothes to make his nest. Louis keeps letting him.
🪹 All at once, this is enough by @lunarheslwt
(G, 7k, friends to lovers) Harry, overcome with burn out, wants to nest but he has never nested before, doesn’t know how to. Louis, his best friend, is only happy to help him make a nest and be there for him.
🪹 Court Wine by @enchantedlandcoffee , red_panda28 / @red-pandaaa
(T, 7k, friends to lovers) after a misunderstanding during a scrabble game, Alpha Louis starts courting Omega Harry without the latter being aware of it.
🪹 All I Do the Whole Day Through by @lululawrence
(NR, 6k, roommates) There was a nest on Harry’s bed. But why was Harry using Louis’ clothes and items that probably smelled like him in his nest?
🪹 I Want You to Linger by @insightfulinsomniac
(E, 6k, friends to lovers) A friends-to-lovers fic in which oblivious alpha Louis courts his best friend, nests with the gifts he gets him, and is faced with the reality that sometimes telling someone you love them doesn’t go to plan (but turns out better in the end anyway).
🪹 Like air to the fire I need you to breathe by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry
(E, 5k, established relationship) Harry is in preheat and Louis is nervous about his upcoming heat, fearing that he might not be able to fulfill his mate's needs.

(NR, 2k, birthday) The present he never knew he wanted - in the form of an omega from his past - might just make this his most memorable Christmas.
—Rare Pairs—
🪹 a little tenderness by @disgruntledkittenface
(NR, 10k, Niall/Harry) Touch deprivation makes a lot of sense now that Harry thinks about it. Niall seems generally unwell; he appears to be weak, his skin is pallid and his lips look chapped, and his breathing is ragged.
🪹 If you let me be your man by lightswoodmagic / @lightwoodsmagic
(E, 5k, Zayn/Liam) Zayn can't help but trail after someone's scent when he starts his heat in the middle of their history exam. The man offers to help Zayn get home safely when he literally runs into him, but Zayn mistakenly thinks it's an offer to help with his heat.

Happy 28th! Here is my January 2024 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!
It's Fine To Fake It 'Til You Make It ('Til It's True) by sunflouwerhabit / @sunflouwerhabit (150k)
Harry Styles @HarryStyles_KE
hi again! so, i wanted to apologize one more time for the whole “helogogjs good gksdjid” thing, and also say that i didn’t just accidentally open your DM’s when i wasn’t paying attention earlier. i sort of had a question about a tweet you posted yesterday? like. the whole “rent a boyfriend” thing? is that something you were serious about? and if so, how does one come to hire you to be their boyfriend? i’m, um, asking for a friend
*****
Harry dreads an impending visit to his hometown, where he’ll be forced to reunite with a newly engaged ex-boyfriend, a childhood best friend turned near stranger, and a family who never understood just how desperately he needed to leave.
In the midst of it all, a ludicrous Twitter proposition brings him to Louis.
(Almost) Exes-to-Lovers (Series) by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense (93k)
Been Waitin' (After Weekend After Weekend After) (3k)
Louis and Harry meet at a laundromat.
Part 1 of (Almost) Exes-to-Lovers
When the Trouble Comes (89k)
The Queens Trafficking case is the biggest one of Louis’ FBI career so far; eleven reported missing girls all disappeared under a similar set of circumstances. Louis has done everything he can to try and solve this case over the last nine months… while also absolutely ruining his marriage.
Harry has been co-host of Banter at Breakfast for five years, and finally has the opportunity to create his own radio show with the network. Unfortunately, it comes at a time where Harry’s thoughts are consumed with his impending divorce from his (caring, loving, infuriatingly thoughtful) husband of eight years.
Harry and Louis have both been willing to lose themselves in their work… but are they willing to lose each other?
*
Or a story of (almost) exes-to-lovers.
Part 2 of (Almost) Exes-to-Lovers
And Down the Long and Silent Street by whimsicule (86k)
The year is 1881 and if you’re alone in this world you might as well be dead, because starving dogs have no mercy.
Or: Wherein Louis and Harry are on the opposite ends of the social ladder, but their paths still cross on the filthy streets Louis calls his home. The odds are staked against them from the beginning, and even more when Louis' past finally catches up with him.
Baby Steal My Heart Away by Snowy38 (61k)
Louis headed into the hall, seeing the Moses basket right away.
"Wah-wah-wahhh!"
Was that...
Fuck.
It was. It was a baby! A loudly crying, clearly unhappy-actually properly distressed baby. It was already red in the face and--
Why was there a baby?
He looked up and around, palm flattening to his forehead to push his scruffy hair away from his clammy skin, checking he wasn't being punked.
Light Me Up, Put Me on Top by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry (24k)
Harry takes Louis back to Northern Europe to experience his first Nordic Christmas in their beloved cabin, surrounded by nothing but peace and snow. So much snow.
Short "spin-off" to 'Love is a word, you gave it a name' universe. Takes place after the second part of the main story, but before the final epilogue.
Part 3 of love is a word, you gave it a name
No One Like You by myownspark (19k)
Dear Niall,
I was glad to have the chance to talk with you again at the AHA conference. Your idea that the Musee D’Orsay Tomlinson painting is in fact not a self-portrait is an intriguing one, and I may have discovered something that will have a bearing on that theory.
Some background: as you may remember, I’ve been researching for a book I’m writing about Harry Styles. I’ve been in communication with Styles’ last living descendant, who is in possession of a trunk that her family believed to have belonged to Styles himself. It held some personal items she presumes to be his, including two unmounted paintings and a small collection of letters.
Upon spending the last few days in Provins studying these items, I believe there to be a connection between Tomlinson and Styles, and I would very much like your opinion.
Are you up for a trip to France?
Sincerely,
Liam Payne
Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide.

November 2023 Fic Recs
Happy 28th everyone!! Here's a list of a few fics I've read in November 2023.
⋆☆Series☆⋆
laur's nutvember 2023 series by @greeneyesfriedrice
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson
⋆☆Fics☆⋆
words weren't enough by @red-pandaaa
Louis wandered into the living room, just watching Harry play for a bit.
It made Louis’ heart crack a little, seeing him like that; hunched over the keys, the muscles on his back tense. But it was a quiet sniffle that Louis finally jerked into action, carefully approaching the slumped figure on the piano bench.
“Hey, darling.”
OR
Louis finds Harry practicing the piano piece for his last show late at night, and there are some tears, memories and playing the piano together involved
it's a three way call and he knows nothing by shiptattoo | @wecantalktomorrow
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Friends to Lovers, Nonbinary Louis Tomlinson, Porn with Feelings
And, well, fuck. If that wasn’t all the permission they needed.
Louis leaned in and pressed their lips to Harry’s quickly, kissing her in the way they had dreamed about since the day they met her. All of the pent up control and hunger escaped as they tried to devour her mouth with their own.
Harry dropped the phone to the bed, wrapping her arms around Louis’s neck and pulling them in closer as they kissed. Her lips parted in a gasp at the ferocity behind it, moaning wantonly when Louis’s tongue slipped into her mouth, sucking at it hungrily as it explored.
“Gonna treat you so good."
Eating Out by @red-pandaaa | red_panda28
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Friends to Lovers, Smut, Fluff
So maybe Harry had a crush on his roommate turned best friend.
No big deal.
He coped in the best way possible: by making jokes and sexual innuendos at any given time. Glossing over his feelings with humour and sarcasm to make sure Louis knew he found the idea of doing anything remotely romantic or sexual with Louis completely ridiculous.
OR
Louis and Harry are best friends and roommates, they're both oblivious to the other's pining, and it takes a silly misunderstanding for them to finally admit their feelings
Must Be Love by @babyhoneyheslt
General Audiences | Niall Horan/Harry Styles | Murder Mystery, Falling In Love, Even Planning, Strangers to Lovers
Niall always runs from his problems. So fleeing from London to the quiet Welsh town Hay-On-Wye isn’t surprising.
Being a suspect in a murder case is.
And so is falling for the cute bookshop owner that’s trying to help him clear his name.
There's a devil in your smile (it's chasing me) by @lunarheslwt
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Angel Harry Styles, Demon Louis Tomlinson, Porn Without Plot
“Come on, angel,” Louis coaxed, sweet in a way purely reserved for him. A helpless shudder rippled through him. “Know how much you love letting me have my way with you.”
Harry inhaled sharply in time with Louis dragging his lips up to his ear, before he was whispering hotly, “Know you can be so good and ask for it.” A sharp sound was pulled out of him as Louis sucked at his ear lobe. “For me.”
And when the plea finally left Harry’s lips, it was punched out, greedy. “Please.”
Louis’ slow, pleased smile and unwavering eye contact was balm to his frantic, simmering arousal. “Please what, darling?”
“Please,” he gasped, unable to look away, burning under Louis’ intense gaze, “my wings … please tie them up.”
Or, angel Harry learns of the true pleasure that surrendering and giving up control can bring, and demon Louis teaches him the virtue of patience.
love is a word, you gave it a name by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Famous Louis Tomlinson, Non-Famous Harry Styles, Age Difference, Older Louis Tomlinson, Genderfluid Harry Styles
After two decades in brutal show business, Louis Tomlinson is trying to restore his tranquility of mind in the peace of Northern Europe where the sun barely sets, Maria's bar is always open, and young Harry has an irresistible spark in his eyes.
Our Lives, Non-Fiction by @indiaalphawhiskey
Explicit | Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Harry Styles is Marcel, First Time, Enemies to Lovers, Friends With Benefits
Heralded as the next Neil Gaiman, Louis Tomlinson does not appreciate being told that his very serious novel is in dire need of a PR boost. Even worse, that it comes in the form of a joint book tour with the UK’s #1 online romance-writing sensation Marcel Styles. Already turbulent at best, their partnership takes a drastic turn when, overly stressed about his looming deadline, Marcel accidentally blurts out a secret: though he’s famed for his scorching hot literary love scenes, he is, actually, a virgin.
Convinced that the only way to rid himself of writer’s block is to gain some experience, Marcel asks Louis, author-to-author, to sleep with him – for Science. And of course Louis agrees because, well, what on Earth could possibly go wrong?
Or, a lesson in romance that proves that sometimes the best love stories aren’t always by the book.

Happy 28th!
Here are the fics I read and loved this month. As always all my love goes out to the fantastic authors, not only in this fic rec but all over the fandom. Without you my days would look much bleaker ♥
I've Got Demons, You've Got Scars - WIP | mission2feelike | [94k]
Harry’s life has been ruined twice. Once, the first time his alpha raised his fist four years ago, and then again today when his job discovered that he is an omega in a world where omegas, especially bonded omegas, have no rights. Now, he’s stuck trying to figure out how he’s going to take care of his four-year-old daughter, Mia. Just when it’s looking completely hopeless, a possible job arises. Someone is looking for an omega to help an alpha in need. The only problem is that the alpha has been diagnosed with Alpha Rage, a crippling disease that causes an alpha to become feral, making them succumb to their most instinctual, primal versions of themselves.
A story of an omega that’s been broken, an alpha that can’t trust himself, and their unlikely relationship.
Lovingly known as 'The Feral Louis Fic'.
everything to lose | stylinsoncity | [92k]
harry is a global popstar who's convinced the world he has it all -- a happy marriage to a devoted alpha, two beautiful children, two grammy awards, three platinum albums, and a budding film career. but some aspects of his image aren't as true as they seem. like the fact he's been separated for over a year, uses meaningless flings to cope and occasionally forgets responsibilities or commitments to his family.
he and louis once commanded stages together. they tackled any challenges to their future. and no matter how hard things got, they always returned to one another. harry would always return to louis. until one day, he finds he can't.
The Pros and Cons of Breathing | HelloLovers13 | [82k]
Omega Harry has always known he'd be married off someday, so when he's betrothed to Prince Louis, he's anxious about having to leave his life behind, but hopeful for a happy marriage.
The hope doesn't last long, with his husband avoiding him at all costs and Harry being left to fend for himself.
Can he find happiness even in a broken marriage?
Some Records Turnin’ | crimsontheory | [49k]
“Harry, dear,” Niall said cheerily, his arms ladened down with more boxes they’d received from their shipment earlier that day. “I promise this isn’t a prank, but Louis Tomlinson is sitting in our office.”
“I know,” Harry replied, using his hip to close the drawer of the cash register. “I let him back there.”
“Wait,” Niall said as he sat the boxes in his arms down on the counter and then held up his hands with his palms facing out towards Harry. “You mean to tell me that this man who you have a massive crush on is in our store right now and you’re just letting him sit back there by himself and not trying to shoot your shot?”
Or, Harry is a soft alpha who owns a record store and Louis is a closeted singer omega masquerading as an alpha who randomly stumbles into Harry’s store.
taken by lust’s strange inhumanity | CuckooTrooke | [20k]
One of the reasons Harry said 'yes' in the first place was because he believed Louis Tomlinson, the campus’ most notorious “bad boy”, would be here.
And much to Harry's triumph and dismay, Louis is here but the last time Harry got a glimpse of him, he had a pretty omega wrapped around him, clinging onto the flaps of his leather jacket while nosing his scent glands.
Maybe that’s just the story of Harry's life; always infatuated with the wrong people.
OR
The one with all the jealous snarling, awkward first kisses and one unforgettable night.
Bitter Ends Turn Sweet | allwaswell16 | [30k]
It had been four years since Harry first heard the song his ex wrote about him and far longer since they broke up. He forgave Louis long ago, and now his life was focused on his career, his family, and especially his son, Max. But Louis was back in Chicago, after all this time, and he’s not an easy man to ignore.
Or a songfic inspired by the song Chicago
show me your love (grow up and see) | abaddxns | [22k]
At only thirty two years of age, Louis Tomlinson has made quite the life for himself—he has his dream job, a place all his own, a nice car, and all the people closest to him are seeing success of their own. The only big thing he's missing now is having the right partner and starting a family with them, although he figures he has plenty of time for that yet.
That is, until his best mate, Harry, comes to him with a proposition.
Or: what happens when you agree to become your best friend's baby daddy.
Chicago | likelarry | [15k]
Harry Styles is one of the fashion industry's best models and Louis Tomlinson is a world renowned rockstar.
In the midst of Louis' world tour, Harry finds out he's pregnant.
Tupelo Honey | superglass | [54k]
“What,” Louis starts, always hating how silence like this drives him crazy, “what exactly are you gaining from all this? All this, following a mediocre band around. Why do you do that?”
Harry giggles around her cigarette, looking out at the alley. When she smiles, her teeth peek out behind her red lips, giving him the chills— right down to his core. He doesn’t think he’s ever seen a smile so pretty. So enthralling he can’t take his eyes off of it. “I’ve got nothing better to do, Louis.”
or
Louis is a roadie for a rock band, and Harry is their groupie. 1970s au.
Yours To Lose | loulicate | [25k]
“I think I know the person that matches your descriptions of your dream alpha.”
“Who? And oh not my dream alpha, god you’re making me sound like a teenage school girl. I’m a mum, H.” They laugh as they watch kids gather in front of the verandah, getting ready to go back to the orphanage.
“Well, you’re gonna have to find out.” Harry winks before standing up to start cleaning their spot.
-
Or Louis always gets distracted with his mummy duty and he eventually catches Harry's attention.
and when it rains, you're shining down for me | martisgotaproblem | [37k]
“This is Harry, he’ll be your patient,” Liam gestured politely.
Harry froze when Louis’ eyes met his own once more. He felt himself getting lost in those eyes, so much so that he didn’t notice Niall and Liam leaving the room quietly but the sound of the door shutting behind them brought him out of the trance.
“Hello, I’m Louis,” the omega said, extending his hand for Harry to shake. The alpha could still sense some nervousness in his stance but decided to ignore it.
“‘’m Harry.”
Or the one where Harry is a grumpy boxer who gets injured and Louis is the lovely physiotherapist hired to help him, but getting pregnant wasn’t exactly in his recovery plan.
In the middle of the night when the wolves come out | Marchessa | [30k]
I. It's always darkest before the dawn
The full moon was hiding behind dark clouds on that night, filling the air with something sinister. Harry lived that evening like an out of body experience, as if it hadn't happened to him. Because something horrifying like that can happen only to fictional characters and people from old-wives tales, not to actual breathing people. Or so he thought.
Everything that happened after nightfall seemed surreal, and he couldn't put his finger on where it went off the track. Probably sometime during the train ride back to Holmes Chapel after a long, exhausting week of university classes.
Or the one where Louis saves Harry's life by biting him, but the younger man has to pay the price for it.
II. On such breathless nights as these
“Do you wish to become my mate, the pack omega?”
“I do.”
Louis kneeled down in front of him, and took the omega’s hands in his own, holding them over his chest.
“Then I will take you as my omega today,” Louis said with a firm voice. “I will keep you as my omega, my fated mate. From now on, you are mine to love. Mine to care for. Mine to pleasure,” he promised, leaning closer to the omega.
Harry’s whole body flushed after hearing his alpha’s vow, and tears gathered in his eyes.
As a newly presented omega, Harry has a hard time adjusting to his new life. Luckily he has the best alpha anyone could ask for on his side. The Moon had guided him to the most perfect mate in the world, and soon they will bond in the pale moonlight. He just has to survive the long road leading to the mating ritual.
Pray To God This Won't Be A Mess | xogucciblue | [28k]
“You know,” Niall muses, voice too loud for the quiet of the afternoon, “this would all be much easier if you had a boyfriend.”
Louis blinks one eye open lazily and turns to squint it at Niall.
“I mean,” he continues as Louis let his eyes drift closed again, “all any of those twats seem interested in is who you’re screwing this week. Reckon if you had one steady bloke to point to they’d eventually have no choice but to go back to asking you about the music.”
It’s not a bad point. Even as fucked up as he is, Louis is able to recognize that Niall is probably right – at the moment, the most interesting thing about Louis is his unattached status and resultant potential for scandal. If he were tied to only one person there’d be no room or reason for questions about his boy of the week or if the rumors that he was sleeping with his stylist’s nephew's older brother’s friend were true.
---
When Louis is outed just weeks before his hotly anticipated second album is set to drop, Harry agrees to hold his hand in a few pictures to cool down the media hype. That's all it was supposed to be.
Until the Pearls Get Lost | LadyLondonderry | [25k]
London, 1933. Harry Styles, alpha, elusive bachelor and happy third wheel to his coupled friends, receives a visit from one Liam Payne, begging for his help.
Liam’s childhood friend Louis is about to become the talk of the city; left at the altar because the mating bond was rejected, Louis will spend the rest of his life in an institution unless Liam can find someone to take him in and care for him as he recovers. Most omegas with failed bonds are never the same again.
With rumours swirling around about the reason for the rejected bond, Harry gives in to Liam’s pleas. He hasn’t the slightest idea how that decision will shape the rest of his life.
Where Life Changed Us | ExiledQueenCatalog | [22k]
Omega Harry has a rare genetic disorder where he has no sense of smell. This has lots of odd effects such as him not being able to smell his own scent but most brutally, not being able to scent the way his inner omega desires. It also leaves him as a sort of odd-ball to the community, leaving him becoming touch starved as no one wants the omega who can’t scent. Until finally, he meets the right alpha.

I just read a fic that was so good and I’d never seen anyone rec it before! I just looked at your kink discovery and bdsm recs (which is where I thought maybe it’d be) and didn’t see it. So I thought I’d send it along!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/30408501
Ah, I haven’t read that one. Thank you for the rec!
You were a beam of light, lit up my broken sky by CuckooTrooke (E, 85K)
Harry showed no signs of moving anywhere, so Louis saw that as an opportunity to kiss him again. He locked their lips back together, nudging Harry’s mouth open the slightest bit and let his tongue brush against Harry’s.
Harry squeezed Louis' tie in his fist, tugging on it so hard Louis had to tuck his fingers inside his own collar. He smiled in the kiss, “Easy, love.”
Louis was prepared for everything except for the words that left Harry’s mouth next; “You reckon you could tie my hands with this?”
OR
Harry is kinky in ways Louis has never been. He's determined to become the best dom for his boyfriend. With lots of practise.

Hi! I'm reading your PA fic and it's amazing, I was wondering if you had some other famous/non famous AU that you love?
Hey, I'm so glad you like it!!
I can definitely rec some - most are pretty well-known but hopefully, there is something you haven't read. I've recced some of these ones before when I did a favourites post. Ordered from longest to shortest. (All the below summaries are ones I have written, and I promise the fics are much better written than my summaries)
love is a word, you gave it a name (WC: 158k) - by CuckooTrooke (@larrydoinglaundry)
Famous Louis/Non-Famous Harry. Strangers to lovers. Louis Tomlinson is an Oscar Winning actor who escaped to a resort in Eastern Europe looking for solitude and isolation. That's until he meets the resort's massage therapist and yoga instructor, and suddenly, he wasn't sure that isolation was actually what he kneaded*.
*I cannot take credit for that one. It's all on LIAW Harry.
(Also, please go to Miia's Twitter and ask her via anon what date she's planning on realising the sequel because not a single person has asked that yet. Bonus points if you ask her to coincide it's release because those anons kill me.)
Empty Skies (WC: 134k)- by green_feelings (@greenfeelings)
Famous Louis/Non-Famous Harry. Louis Tomlinson is 1/3 of the biggest boyband in the World, and all he had to do to get in there was go against everything he believed in. Harry Styles dreams of being a Musician, and after three years of putting it off while he deals with his own anguish, he is determined to give it a shot. Not only are their futures intertwined, so are their pasts.
got the sunshine on my shoulders (WC 124k)- by hattalove (@hattalove)
Famous Harry/Non-Famous Louis. Exes-to-Lovers. Harry left his small hometown to become a recording artist. He is rich, famous, and when his boyfriend proposes, he knows he has everything he has ever wanted. Plus one thing he doesn't want - a husband who keeps returning unsigned divorce papers.
California Sold (WC:123k)- by isthatyoularry (@isthatyoularry).
Famous Harry Styles/Non-Famous Louis Tomlinson. Friends to lovers. Fake Dating. Harry Styles is at risk of being outed. So, as we've come to expect, management is struck with an ingenious plan; Stunting! With! A! Female! Which makes sense because history shows it always works out so well. Anyway, shocker: it doesn't. Harry's best friend, Louis, has to intervene and get's papped with Harry. So, maybe it works out well, after all.
Our Lives, Non-Fiction (WC 113k)- by indiaalphawhiskey (@indiaalphawhiskey)
Famous Louis/Less Famous* Harry Marcel Styles. Enemies to lovers. Marcel Styles' is a newly published fanfiction** writer (love that for him) who finds out Louis Tomlinson is joining him for his UK book The Louis Tomlinson. The one that Marcel had spent the same amount of time reading and re-reading his debut novel as he did staring at Louis' photo on the cover***. His fantasies about meeting and touring with his idol come crumbling down after their first encounter when Louis proves himself to be an arsehole. Marcel concedes that the entire tour is going to be a nightmare... until Louis proves that writing isn't the only thing he is a master at.
*It's arguable that Harry is less-famous, just different kinds of fame.
**Technically original online fiction - but he also wrote fanfiction, so it counts.
*** I may have taken some creative liberties with that one.
Tired Tired Sea (WC:113k) - by MediaWhore (@mediawhorefics)
Famous Harry/Non-Famous Louis. Strangers to lovers. Harry needs some solitude... so much solitude that he finds one of the most remote seaside villages he can find. He wanted to go somewhere where no one would know his name, and he got that wish. Turns out that maybe he should have been wishing for the owner of the BNB and his dog, Clifford, instead.
My English Love Affair (WC: 19k) - by isthatyoularry (@isthatyoularry).
(This is the stupidest summary ever and only like 3 people will get it, and I'm not going to explain it any further. I apologise).
Famous Harry/Non-Famous Louis. Out Of All the Gin Joints In All The World Louis and Harry met at the same one. The Only Reason they Ended Up Here was because they Wasted The Night Danceing Dance, and Stayin' Out All Night. After A Little Less Sixteen Candles, (and) A Little More "Touch Me", Louis became Harry's My English Love Affair. Louis thinks that he I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy Famous, and All I He got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me Him. It was definitely not his Favourite Record because Harry has No Shame and his My Songs Knows What You He Did In The Dark. Even though Harry isn't American Made he acts like Mrs All America and has mastered the Art Of Keeping Up Disappearances. Louis expects their romance to be Short, Fast and Loud but His My Heart Is The Worst Kind Of Weapon. It's not his fault that Harry is Irresistible and She Looks So Perfect. It's Easier to say " Kiss Me, Kiss Me" and "I Don't Care" than Everything He I Didn't Say. After spending a Golden two weeks Alone Together, Louis thought they were So Good Right Now, not know it was the Calm Before The Storm. Harry decided to Fly Away on a Permanent Vacation leading to The Mighty Fall without even saying 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs". Louis realised that Harry was The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes and became a Complete Mess. He wished he had Novacaine or Amnesia and questioned The Pros and Cons of Breathing. Harry had to accept that The Worlds Not Waiting and even though he was Miss Miss Missing You Harry, he chose to ignore Bad Omens. In the end there was Heartache On The Big Screen, and they both said "I Want You Back, so Take My Hand". XO
This is a Rainbow War (WC: 15k) - by Lululawrence (@lululawrence)
Famous Harry/Non-Famous Louis. Strangers to lovers. When Louis is hired as part of Harry Styles' road crew, Harry gives him what seems like a very simple project. Louis, never one to do things by half-measures, turns it into a war. He didn't realise he'd end up fighting for Harry's heart.
(okay, that one was cheesy, I apologise)
Feel Your Way (WC: 3k) - by kingsofeverything (@kingsofeverything).
Famous Harry/Non-Famous Louis. Strangers to lovers. Louis doesn't care much for or about celebrities, and for the longest time, Harry Styles was just a name he heard from time to time. That was until he stumbled across a photo of Harry that caused him to moan Harry's name every night. One night, he doesn't need to rely on his hand and Harry's photo to help him come because Harry's there to do it for him, bearing Louis' favourite assets.
(So this one snuck its way here because it's so good... but the Famous/Non-Famous trope isn't the main focus of it. Hiddies are)

favourite larry fics of all time?
Argh! Tough question. I replied to a similar ask some time ago here , but maaaaaybe I can give a some more favourite fics rec <3 let’s go
Where your heart is by anhcor, tvshows_addict (154K): one of my favourite fics ever, probably because it has some (creative) medicine related trope but I loved it so much. It’s not on AO3, at least not since the last time I checked, I have a pdf tho. The story is 50% angst 49% pure angst 1% fluff lmao
A college AU set in San Francisco starring Louis and a genetic condition that prevents him from being touched and he’s forced to wear gloves at all times. Featuring an overprotective mother, Liam as his step brother/mess of a roommate and a distracting, obnoxious, flirty, frat wannabe ‘Hallway Boy’ who is determined to become the bane of Louis’ existence.
The school of extraordinary lovers by Stylinsoncity (191K):
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.
Love is a word, you gave it a name (158K) by CuckooTrooke ( @larrydoinglaundry ):
older Louis is trying to restore his tranquility of mind in the peace of Northern Europe because his job has become very stressful, young Harry has an irresistible spark in his eyes.
Into that goodnight (62K) by devilinmybrain ( @thedevilinmybrain ):
Wonderland AU from one of my favourite authors!trust me and read it! Starring Louis as Peter, Harry as Wendy and Zayn as Tinkerbell (!!!)
Wings to break your fall by karamelised (102K):

HL Fic Library 💜 Genderfluid Fics
Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
💜 love is a word, you gave it a name by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry [E, 158k]
After two decades in brutal show business, Louis Tomlinson is trying to restore his tranquility of mind in the peace of Northern Europe where the sun barely sets, Maria's bar is always open, and young Harry has an irresistible spark in his eyes.
💜 Demon and Immortal (series) by delsicle / @eeveelou [E, 90k]
Harry is a demon and Louis is his eternal mate.
💜 an everlasting eclipse by you_explode /@nobodymove [M, 63k]
The sky is a deep blue and a soft breeze blows through the willow trees. From his position outside the railway station, Harry can see the centre of the village in one direction and rows of trees in the other. He feels his nerves could choke him, but so too could his excitement.
He is to have a family.
Anne of Green Gables/Anne With An E AU. In 1891, orphan Harry is adopted by the Teasdales and goes to live on their small farm in Holmes Chapel. In his new life he finds supportive relationships, he finds himself, and eventually, he finds a home.
💜 Angel of Little Deaths by superglass [M, 54k]
It’s morning light when he looks back at Louis, bright and unfiltered, like a halo. He will never forget this image; he will chase to find it again, in this same way. So perfect in time; if he had a camera he’d capture it. How the thin knit of the sweater falls over the dip of Harry’s collarbone, his lovely neck bared for Louis’ lips when they come close again. His lips stretched wide and pink in a closed smile, until they break free to reveal his bunny teeth. How his legs cross almost childishly, bare ankles crossed, the creamy expanse of his thighs pale. His hair, messy and disheveled, before an array of light. His new love: Harry. His new muse; his new everything. or
Louis is a lonely artist in Florence, Harry is a runaway Parisian student. 1970s au.
💜 Amor Victorious by HappyPrince / @happy-prince [E, 38k]
Louis finds himself following Harry on a journey through Italy, complete with long train rides, greasy food, naked Christs, and too many lingering touches. They're definitely not like other tourists and he definitely doesn't have a crush on his best friend who happens to be an alpha, too.
💜 starin' back from the lookin' glass (there stood a woman where a half-grown boy had stood) by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou [E, 23k]
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.
💜 Little Black Dress (I wanna see the way you move for me, Baby) by HachimansKitsune [M, 19k]
Harry's has an obsession he feels guilty about. When an impulsive moment leads him to make the purchase, he expects to never actually follow through with his desires. Then Louis finds the dress -- the slinky, silky black dress -- and Daddy takes the decision out of Harry's hands.
💜 fallin' and laughin' at the drinks we spilled by enbyharry / @non-binharry [E, 14k]
Louis is living his best #vanlife and travelling around the US, visiting big cities and small towns. In an effort to see as many places as he can, he never stays for more than a day. He stops in some bar in the middle of nowhere Kentucky where he meets a beautiful boy named Harry. He stands out from the rest of the patrons in the bar with his black midi slip dress and fur coat draping off his shoulders, despite it being a hot summer night.
They drink and dance and maybe even get into a bit of a brawl with a couple of locals who have something to say about Harry’s expression (big mistake, she’s a queen who can hold her own) so Harry takes Louis back to his place where he bandages them up and they continue their party into the sunrise.
When Louis heads back to his van in the morning, boxer briefs missing and a draft coming through the large hole in the shoulder of his t-shirt, he thinks maybe Harry might be worth sticking around in this town for a little bit longer.
💜 I Hope We Never Change by @hellolovers13 [E, 12k]
“I just wanted to try how it feels.”
“The clothes?” Niall asked.
Harry nodded. “Is that, that's too weird right, I shouldn't-”
“Hey, stop it. I told you already, it's not weird. It's just how you feel. That's okay. You can try whatever you want, okay. And you can always, always talk to me. Remember that.”
or Harry is confused about everything, so is Louis.
At least they have Niall.
💜 People just gotta have fun by korichiro [E, 11k]
Louis is insecure about his gender indentity. A coming-out story of sorts.
💜 It's Thursday. Let's Get (un)Dressed. by @bananaheathen [E, 9k]
When Louis is peer-pressured into downloading TikTok over the holidays, he fully expects to hate it. And he does hate it. All of it. Well... except for aspiring OOTD influencer, @harrystyles.
💜 but if you really hold me tight by loulicate / @loulicate-recs [NR, 8k]
In which Harry just needs warm cookies, couple sweaters and a certain pretty boy to save this year's Christmas.
💜 little black dress (it's all right) by istajmaal [E, 8k]
harry is a girl sometimes. louis loves her all the time.
💜 and she sleeps in his bed by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison [M, 7k]
Never in his life had Louis ever thought about his gender. He’d never really given a thought of who he was and what he wanted to be, as an individual. Being gay was different, to him it felt different than this. The flamboyance was expected, and accepted. He owned it, owned the fact that he was flamboyant. Exuberant. A bit too stylish. Different. Of course, there was no denying that. But when it came to his own gender, he’d always thought he was just one of the lads.
Or well, he definitely used to think that until Harry painted his nails and then called him ‘pretty’.
💜 Here's to Elysium by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson [T, 5k]
It's 2045. Dedicated Gunters and IOI Sixers are desperate to find Halliday's Easter egg inside the extraordinary virtual game called the OASIS. Through their attempts to win the Copper Key, the first of three keys, two avatars become closer than they ever expected.
Or: A 1D x Ready Player One Fusion feat. Lara Croft!Harry.
💜 She Feels So Good by zedi [E, 4k]
Louis knows that voice. Harry’s used that voice in his ear more times than Louis can count, said such sweet, naughty things while popping a hip out and pressing up against Louis. All while wrapping the words in that voice. That’s the voice that comes out when Harry’s in a skirt, nails done and gestures soft and flirty. That’s the voice Louis is a sucker for every time, even now when it’s coming from a prerecorded segment playing off a monitor.
That’s Louis’ good girl.
💜 Your Gift Is Wasted On Me by 5secsoflarry [G, 4k]
"We will have a baby soon darling. Remember, we plan on finding a surrogate after Christmas..."
Louis knows the words are of little comfort but he does not know what else to say.
OR Harry wants a baby really bad so they use a surrogate and well, after a few years one baby turns into six...
💜 Exhilarator by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt [G, 3k]
Lou had always felt a little bit different from his peers. It had been a confusing and frustrating affair, to grow up without feeling like he belonged to one role or another. He had had to fight small wars almost everyday, both within himself and against the world.
But then, on the first day of college, a green eyed boy gives him an encouraging smile from across the room and it’s all Louis needs to stand taller and prouder amidst a class full of strangers.
💜 kiss me with adventure 'til i forget my name by orphan_account [NR, 3k]
“Wow,” Louis says softly, stunned. “You look…”
Vibrant, luminescent, glowing, unreal, magnificent, exuberant, fucking fuckable.
or where Louis both loves and hates her job.
💜 And Everything In Between by fanshae [T, 2k]
The first day Harry wears a skirt to school Louis gets in two fist fights and has to borrow Harry's concealer for his busted knuckles. It was more than worth the dention but Louis lets Harry brush his lips over the scraped skin anyway.
💜 Ready For Anything by wannabebestseller [G, 1k]
Harry is genderfluid and Louis is the most supportive husband anyone could ever ask for.
💜 Cherry Blossom (You are Mine) by braveromantic [NR, 1k]
Happiness can be found in the most surprising of places. For H, happiness is a queer bar in the middle of her college town, with a blue-eyed beauty and an energy drink she should have ordered more of.

i found love in you (and i learned to love me too) by CuckooTrooke /@larrydoinglaundry
166k | famous & non-famous | age difference
After months of battling with his own demons, Louis goes back to get what he once left behind, but Harry's not sure if he showed up in time.
A journey of remorse, healing and love that's strong enough to break them down and build them back up again.
Sequel to 'love is a word, you gave it a name'.

Happy 28th! Here's my July 2023 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. Enjoy!
I Found Love In You (And I Learned to Love Me Too) by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry (166k)
After months of battling with his own demons, Louis goes back to get what he once left behind, but Harry's not sure if he showed up in time.
A journey of remorse, healing and love that's strong enough to break them down and build them back up again.
Sequel to 'love is a word, you gave it a name'.
Wild and Unruly by 100percentsassy, Gloria_Andrews / @100percentsassy, @gloriaandrews (123k)
Harry is a cowboy sitting on the biggest oil reservoir in Wyoming, and Louis is the paralegal assigned to pressure him into selling his land.
I Don't Wanna Face the Music by hereforh / @hereforh (95k)
Louis likes to think he's a pretty normal, typical lad. He likes spending nights at the pub with his mates, he loves football and is very close to his family. So when he moves to London for uni, he doesn’t think much will be different.
Until he makes these new friends who are nothing like his mates back home and change his life for the better - and this one boy who messes with his head from the get go and makes him question everything he has ever thought about himself.
(Take Me Home) Country Roads by Awriterwrites (86k)
“Sir, I can help you. Just let me — “ He tried moving closer but the eldest child blocked his way. He backed off, putting his hands out in a passive gesture. “I’m a physician. I can help,” he tried again.
The man shook his head vehemently, passing the cup back to his grandchild. “Tol’ ya. Don’t need ya.” All of the fire had gone out of his voice, leaving behind a frail, sick old man with barely any breath to talk.
“I have medicines...I could make you comfortable…” Louis’ voice was still small, but pleading.
“Mountain Mama cares for wha’s ailin’ me. Don’t need no fancy city doctors.”
Louis blinked at the man, still shaking from the coughing spell. Mountain — well, fuck. That backwoods, uneducated scam artist…
“Of course he is,” Louis said curtly.
*****
OR a Northern Exposure AU featuring Louis as the big city doctor, Harry as a natural healer, Niall as a secretive barkeep, Liam and Zayn head over heels for each other but they don't know it and a lot of hurt, comfort and moonshine in between.
King of My Heart by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze (83k)
Harry shrugged, his shoulders brushing against Louis’. “I think since I was young, I craved that feeling, though. I didn’t always hate being a prince, but over time, certain aspects of it just bothered me so much. I remember being four years old and realising that every person in the world knew my name, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted that. I told my mum as much and she tried telling me that being a prince is not a punishment. That it was a privilege that I should be happy about it, but no one asked me if I was. But looking up at the sky, I remember that all of this will one day mean nothing, and neither will I. All the pressure will then disappear and I could just be.”
Louis stayed quiet, allowing Harry the space to open up because he knew Harry wasn’t looking for advice, but just someone to confide in. What he wished he could tell him was that in the short amount of time that he’d known the prince, in Louis’ eyes, he couldn’t be insignificant if he tried. He was brighter than every star up there in the sky. He was all Louis could look at and think about.
or A Red, White, and Royal Blue AU where Hollywood elite, Louis Tomlinson, finds himself falling for the closeted Prince of England.
These Bad Omens (I Look Right Through Them) by likelarry / @likelarryfics (82k)
How on earth does someone his parents' age look so damn hot? All of their other friends look... bland and boring.
But Louis, fucking hell. He's something out of Harry's wettest fucking dreams.
Where Louis is Harry's parents' friend and teaches at Harry's university. Harry can't resist getting a taste.
So Keep My Candle Bright by whisperdlullaby (78k)
Louis returns to his hometown after four years to find that the reverend’s son has done some growing up of his own.
Elephant Juice by stylinsoncity / @stylinsoncity (32k)
Harry doesn't understand boundaries. Louis doesn't mind at all.

My Favorite Fics of 2022
I relied on fics to help me get through a really difficult year. I read and loved so many stories, but these are the ones that I absolutely cherished.
Thank you to every author in this fandom for writing and sharing your work. And thank you to everyone who recommends fics and connects readers with these great stories. I don't know where I'd be without you all. I hope this post helps someone find a fic you haven't given a chance, yet!
Open Up Your Honey Pot by daffodilsforlou @polaroidlouis
E | 5k | ABO
This is one of the hottest fics I read this year. Frat boy alpha Louis absolutely worships his intersex omega boyfriend Harry. Gentle dom Harry teasing service top Louis is absolutely gold and so well written. There’s just so much love (and slick). I have read and re-read this, but it doesn’t get old.
The School of Extraordinary Lovers by @stylinsoncity
M | 191k | Vampire/Witch
I absolutely loved sinking into the world of this story with magical creatures, curses, and beautiful music. (Definitely check out the playlist.) Louis and Harry are brought back together after years apart, and their past slowly starts to make sense to the readers as well as both of them. This author blew me away with how well they communicated longing, jealousy, and pining, and how satisfying the story really was. Be warned, there is some violence.
Our Lives, Non-Fiction by @indiaalphawhiskey
E | 113k | Enemies to lovers
This fic absolutely blew me away with palpable sexual tension between authors Marcel and Louis, who got off on the wrong foot. When Marcel realizes he needs to experience sex to be able to write it better and Louis agrees to help…it only gets better. The commentary throughout about romance and fanfiction was so well-done and added such richness. With amazing writing, storyline, and smut, it’s no wonder this is a modern classic in the fandom.
Beautiful War by @itsmotivatingcara
M | 103k | Clairvoyant
This is a thriller romance, with a detailed mystery, high stakes, and amazing burning tension between Larry. Clairvoyant Louis survived the unthinkable when he escaped a serial killer, but now the signature murders are continuing. FBI agent Harry is on the case and suspicious of Louis and his gift. This story moves you from fear to lust with ease, and I hope it earns its spot as another fandom classic. Warning for lots of violence and blood in this one.
come my love be one with the sea by CuckooTrooke @larrydoinglaundry
M | 6k | Mermaid/Pirate
Get ready to fall in love with this charming and absolutely hilarious fic. Mermaid Harry saves a pirate ship captain named Louis. Cue misunderstandings, banter, sass, and really soft, lovely, feelings. This fic makes me feel so good every time I read it.
Darling Can't You See by @tommokat
M | 12k | Royalty
Prince Harry has a reputation that precedes him, but when Louis is hired to be the royal cat caretaker, he learns that reputation may be a little bit misleading. This is fantastically funny and sweet, with the bonus of a love story between Louis and the many many cats. It also has some of the hottest dirty talk and smut I've read in a long while. A real pleasure to read.
The Warmth of Your Body by zanni_scaramouche @zanniscaramouche
M | 46k | ABO wolves
I could not put this addictive fic down. Omega Harry is in line to become the next pack Luna, promised to Niall, when unexpected violence and challenges arrive. A mysterious alpha, Louis, shows up just in time to save Harry’s life. Harry navigates his duties and expectations while staying true to himself. This fic does end on a cliff hanger. I am still hoping for part two, but I highly recommend reading the part that is written. P.S. I just learned that part two is written and coming soon!!
your head in your hands as you color me blue by docklands @hershelsue
G | 2k | Historical
“Gorgeous historical gender thing” was my bookmark note. This is a short but sweet story about trans Harry’s unique relationship with the painter in the window across from his Paris apartment. I encourage you to read the second part, too.
Lies & Liability by 4ureyesonly28 @evilovesyou
M | 34k | Regency + ABO
Omega Harry is tired of suitors, and alpha Louis doesn’t care to court omegas, so they form a mutually convenient fake relationship in this historical fic packed with great tropes. There is enemies to friends to lovers. There is protective Louis. There is dueling, danger, and excitement. It was an amazingly fun romp that I highly recommend, even if regency romance isn’t normally your thing.
Full Moon Dreaming by jarcaranda_bloom @jacaranda-bloom
E | 43k | Soulmates
In this magical realism fic, full moon dreams reveal your soulmate, but Louis has given up hope of getting his. When Harry moves in next door to Louis in a coastal town, they don’t get off to a great start. There’s a great cast of 1D characters, a fantastic enemies to lovers arc, and some very steamy smut. The allusions to the movie Moonstruck are the icing on the cake.
Remember Me Before You by @kingsofeverything
E | 293k | Friends to lovers
I was absolutely beside myself waiting for each new installment of this fic. This is a New Girl AU with the 1D guys. Harry is Jess, and Louis is Nick. Their friends to lovers, push and pull relationship was iconic in the show, but this story fleshes it out and takes it to a new level. You can also enjoy the hilarious group comedy element you know and love from the sitcom.
In Motion by orphan_account
E | 6k | PWP
Smut. Specifically Louis edges Harry for a long time in creative ways. Absolutely fabulous.
Introduction to Dynamics by @juliusschmidt
E | 29k | Non-traditional ABO
Confident omega Louis becomes friends with sheltered beta Harry in college. Except, there’s a little more there, and maybe Harry isn’t a beta after all? This is funny, sweet, and sexy with lots of “sex education” talks and oblivious idiots in love.
Last time I did an annual favorites list, I included one of my own fics, so...
Grow as We Go by me @larryatendoftheday
T | 7k | Breakup/Makeup
Six years into their relationship, Harry and Louis hit a breaking point. Louis is tired of shoving the ring box into the back of his underwear drawer, so he throws out an ultimatum. Or a fic about growing up and choosing each other.
#mine#fic rec#larry fanfiction#what i want is fics that are funny sweet and sexy and maybe also angsty#enemies to lovers is a plus clearly haha
