Mates and Mushrooms by mikkimouse
Explicit | 11k | 1/1
Derek's not that excited about spending three days at a conference getting propositioned by every Alpha with a single pack member. Stiles has a plan to make it stop. 
It might be a great plan...if only Derek weren't head over heels in love with him. 
It might be an even better plan if someone at the conference didn't have a vested interest in Derek staying single.

✤ Fake Relationship 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 Escapade by dolce_piccante / @haydolce {M, 146k}
In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. He's rich. He's handsome. He's reasonably well behaved. But when the wedding is for his lifelong best friend (and former boyfriend), and is happening in under a month, finding a date for the ceremony and accompanying festivities becomes more of an adventure than he ever could have planned for.
2️⃣ And Then a Bit by @infinitelymint {E, 158k}
“We’d like to give the fans what they want.” Magee states, placing his hand on the table in front of him and leaning forward. “We want to give them Larry Stylinson.”
Or, take a parallel universe where Louis and Harry were never together, mix in a two year hiatus and an impending comeback, pour in a dash of lost fans, two tablespoons of strong friendship and a Modest! employee with a good idea. Add a squeeze of pretending to be a couple, lots of kisses and a tattoo or two. Stir. Serve: the mother of all publicity stunts.
(aka Harry and Louis fake a relationship for publicity. Eventually it becomes a lot less fake and a lot more real.)
3️⃣ California Sold by @isthatyoularry {M, 123k}
Notoriously closeted boyband member Harry Styles is famous on a global scale, meanwhile Louis, as his best friend, is back home in Manchester, living the typical life of a 24 year old. When Harry needs Louis with him in LA, a publicity stunt gone wrong changes their friendship forever.
A fake-relationship AU between two lifelong best friends.
4️⃣ Paint Me In A Million Dreams by green_feelings / @greenfeelings {M, 112k}
Harry's one of Hollywood's biggest actors, has made a name for himself in prestigious films and lives the life of a superstar. There's just one thing missing to make it picture-perfect, but the one Harry's in love with is completely out of reach for him. Enter Louis, one of Hollywood's biggest actors himself, who just came out of the closet and taps new genres in the industry. When Louis sacks the role Harry auditioned for in Scorsese's next big film, their irrational feud starts. Who could have guessed it would get even worse when for promo season, their teams decide to present them as a couple for publicity?
In short, Harry's in love with someone and doesn't care about dating anyone else, Louis never felt home in L.A., Liam writes love songs for someone he shouldn't write love songs to, and Niall makes everything better with good food.
5️⃣ Faking It by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 46k}
A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?
Aka Harry pretends to date his best friend to escape unwanted attention from a too insistent classmate and hopes it won’t blow up in his face. Featuring embarrassing dildo accidents, awkward boners, longing, first times, late night conversations, emotional discoveries and Niall as the exasperated friend with bad advice.
HIDDEN GEMS:
💎 this charade (was never going to last) by @scrunchyharry {E, 68k}
On the surface, CitizenX, an international caritative nonprofit, looked like any other nonprofit, funding humanitarian missions worldwide and striving to make the world a better place, one donation at a time.
At least, that was what Harry thought, until he was hired as a computer specialist for a spinoff agency called carish, whose true purpose was to reveal CitizenX’s tangled web of lies.
As if the whole ‘industrial spy’ business was not stressful enough, Harry found himself in a hatred-at-first-sight relationship with one of his new coworkers, Louis, a man intent on detesting Harry.
When the worst happened and Harry and Louis found themselves thrown together in hiding, with only each other to rely on, Harry never could have predicted the turn their relationship would take.
Nor could he anticipate that it would all be taken away from him and he would have to decide how far he was willing to go to get Louis back.
💎 Love Is a Winning Game by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 47k}
Before their broken engagement, Harry had his head stuck so far in the clouds that he doesn’t even remember entering him and Louis for something as crazy as a couple's gameshow until a series of bad, post-breakup decisions puts Harry in the awkward position of needing the help of his ex-fiancé to try and fix the mess he has made.
💎 Wed’n Walk (Or, We Went to Amsterdam Together) by @hellolovers13 {E, 11k}
When Harry had first started planning his honeymoon to Amsterdam, he had not envisioned ending up there with his best friend.
Or getting fake-married to him for 24 hours.
💎 Every Line, Every Word, Everything by lsforever / @kingonafiftymetreroad {G, 10k}
“I just fucking came out of the closet to the whole world so I wouldn’t have to parade around fake relationships anymore and that’s what you’re trying to put on me again?!”
or, the AU where Harry's team suggests that he should have a fake boyfriend after he's just come out. Who would've thought it would be his best friend?
💎 Just To See That Smile by @homosociallyyours {NR, 6k}
It's Coming Out Week at university, and Harry's taken on a lot of responsibilities to make everything run smoothly. Finding his roommate's boyfriend attractive is making that a bit difficult, unfortunately. It might help if he realized that said boyfriend (Louis) is really just there to help said roommate (Liam) figure out if Liam's crush (Zayn) likes him back.
But that would make things too easy.
A fic where a hastily faked relationship and a lot of miscommunication almost ruins a perfectly good dance.

Fake it till you make it - Chapter 1 (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/1346747869-fake-it-till-you-make-it-chapter-1?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_reading&wp_uname=CelticWolf55&wp_originator=vp9i2BMRe0TWah%2B%2BbM1fp9JKTBZfbflda6nh%2BRRB8B3mbnU65xLvU3DKExZ3%2BhJxZZEl3pofGPjNGTMBFpKsO0iHZdYF%2BM5VbR%2BXuksa4CEVzlGU5RjAanDBXEmc5hrs 
 "I regret that I must ask for your assistance on a personal matter." Wednesday stated, slowly sitting down beside Enid on her colourful bed. "Are you okay?" Enid asked, suddenly filled with concern. "I am fine, but I appreciate your concern. However, I was hoping you might accompany me to my family reunion over the school break at the manor?" Wednesday asked. "I'm flattered. But I feel like there's more to this request." Enid replied, eyebrows furrowing slightly. "Impressive. You've been picking things up from me. Yes, your intuition is correct. My motives for asking are not entirely pure. My family has been pestering me regarding a paramore, and I cannot suffer through another family reunion with inane questions regarding when I will find a partner. Therefore, I was hoping you'd assist me with a ruse by pretending to be my girlfriend." "G-girlfriend?!" Enid stuttered in disbelief. "Yes. Would that be something you'd be willing to assist me with?" Wednesday asked, cautiously hopeful she'd agree as Enid was the person she trusted the most to achieve this ruse successfully. ------------------------------------------------ Chapters come out every Wednesday

Fake Dating (2) Masterlist
part one
and i fell for the lie that i told (ao3) - jbhmalum Calum/Ashton T, 10k
Summary: "If Calum is being honest — and Calum is always honest — it starts out as something completely innocent."
In which cashton get annoyed at the paps for always being there on their coffee runs and so they start to fuck with them. And the fans. And basically the entire world. Calum really shouldn't be that surprised when he starts catching feelings.
OR: 5 times Calum and Ashton pretend to be a couple in front of the cameras, and 1 time they are one, for nobody but themselves.
Epoch (ao3) - lourrygum Michael/Luke E, 10k
Summary: But Michael’s in a band, of course. He hasn’t spent over two months in his own home in over four years and he definitely hasn’t spent up to that amount of time anywhere else. L.A.’s the only place where they’d stuck around long enough to stop getting lost often enough to have to spend fifteen minutes on Google maps figuring out where the hell they were. And even then, they only stayed for around six weeks. It’s not like six weeks isn’t enough to meet someone, but it’s definitely not enough to start to like them and date them and continue to like them enough to put an effort into the long-distance thing.
or, michael's parents are worried, luke wants to help, calum can't lie, and ashton knows best
for real - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) Calum/Ashton, brief Calum/OMC T, 4k
Summary: Michael keeps trying to set Calum up on blind dates, and one day Calum accidentally slips and says he has a boyfriend when he doesn't, so Ashton offers to be his fake boyfriend. It works, until Calum messes things up.
i got a long-term plan (with short-term fixes) (ao3) - bellawritess Michael/Luke T, 4k
Summary: Michael comes into the bookstore one day with the weirdest request he’s made of Luke in the almost-year they’ve known each other.
“I need a hot boyfriend,” he announces. “You in?”
Luke frowns very slowly. “To help you find a hot boyfriend?”
“To be my hot boyfriend,” Michael says, like it’s obvious. “Temporarily.”
It's Almost Like Being In Love (ao3) - sugarysnaps Luke/Ashton G, 22k
Summary: Upon entering the small jewelry shop Luke felt a surge of reality wash over him. It’d been nice in their little bubble of fake engagement. But now that they were here to replace the fake ring for their fake engagement to convince his parents of a lie, reality was a force to be reckoned with.
After a drunken posting online Luke Hemmings has found himself caught up in an intricate lie; a fake engagement to his college dorm mate, Ashton Irwin. During spring break the two must convince their families of their relationship all the while battling with interfering feelings and obstacles of secrets and pasts that are bound to catch up to them. Through the trials and tribulations of the lies and secrets, the two may find happiness within each other. Not every lie is completely devoid of truth, and perhaps their "fake" feelings hold unspoken truths.
Meet Me Under the Mistletoe (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) Michael/Ashton, background Luke/Calum T, 15k
Summary: Michael has been letting everyone at the office believe he has a boyfriend for the past few months. Things become complicated when they ask to meet his boyfriend at the company winter party.
"No" Probably Would Have Sufficed (ao3) - littleficlets (addictedkitten) Michael/Luke, past Michael/Harry G, 366
Summary: "Am I going to have to pretend to be your boyfriend for the rest of the tour?"
Of Plastic Flowers And Enthusiastic Mothers (It's Always Been You) (ao3) - thecoloursinthegravel Luke/Ashton, minor Michael/Calum N/R, 9k
Summary: Ashton asks Luke to pretend to be his date for his cousin’s wedding. (For his mum’s sake, of course.) Luke has this teeny tiny little issue in that he’s kind of maybe slightly very much in love with Ashton. And boy, does Ashton look good in a suit.
put the stars in our eyes (ao3) - burstintocolor (anchormate) Luke/Calum M, 25k
Summary: Ben hangs up, leaving Luke still reeling. His family thinks he and Cal are dating. And they weren’t surprised. They’d been waiting for it. His mum cried because she was so happy for him. And worst of all, he hadn’t had a chance to correct Ben. Luke rolls over on his bed, burying his face in his pillow and letting out a groan.
or, luke's family thinks he's dating calum. luke doesn't correct them.
Too Close to See (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) Michael/Calum T, 20k
Summary: “Oh,” his mother breathes. “You and Calum finally figured it out.”
That is not what he was thinking. He’s not entirely sure what he was thinking, but passing Calum off as his boyfriend was not it. Still, Michael is not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
“Yes, Calum and I figured it out, so I’ll be bringing him to the wedding. No need to set me up with anyone, because I’m dating Calum.”
under the mistletoe - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) Michael/Luke, Calum/Ashton, Sierra/Crystal T, 3k
Summary: Michael needs a date to his work's Christmas party. Luke offers to be his fake date. Michael should be thrilled about this, but Michael's had a crush on Luke ever since they met each other. Now he has to fake date Luke for a party when his feelings aren't fake at all.
wish I could say something (ao3) - irwah Calum/Ashton G, 6k
Summary: “What do you mean you’re getting married?!” Comes Luke’s tinny voice, squeaking through the speakers of Ashton’s phone.
"It just makes sense, Lu.” Ashton sighs. “I don’t have the money to go back to paying full rent for the flat and he doesn’t wanna get sent back to France. It just works, logistically.”
Or: the Brexit fake dating AU that no-one asked for
you are the sun (and i’m just the planets spinning around you) (ao3) - orphan_account Michael/Luke, Calum/Ashton T, 17k
Summary: "are you ready for this?” his ‘boyfriend’ asked, squeezing his hand again and giving him a reassuring smile.
― michael’s being forced to go to a stupid family event, even though it really does seem like just yesterday that he was being forced to fly out to australia for his nan’s funeral. it wasn't like he hated his nan and didn't want to mourn her death, he just honestly couldn't be bothered to deal with his family’s constant digs and comments about how unlovable he was and how he should definitely be in a relationship by his age. but ashton had a way to fix that, it all just depended on whether luke agreed or not.
(or: the fake dating fic.)
you're still the best thing in my life (ao3) - forforever (preciousthings) Luke/Calum G, 2k
Summary: in which luke gets drunk, tweets something stupid, and is in love with his best friend the whole time.

“Christ, I’m getting old,” I grumbled. “Reading glasses.” She laughed.
“Yes, thirty-two is ancient. You’ll be fine. I’m sure you’ll make them look good.” I quirked my eyebrow at her.
“Oh yeah? Are you saying I’ll look even sexier wearing glasses?”
“I’m saying nothing. Your ego is big enough."

Fake Dating Masterlist
part two
Blue Masquerade (ao3) - CalumSmiles (dreamforlife) michael/luke, calum/ashton E, 85k
Summary: Michael is in love with Luke. That much is clear. Well, to Calum, Ashton and the rest of the world anyway. Luke is blissfully oblivious to the blatant signs. He gets a girlfriend. Michael tries to move on.
Spoiler: he fails.
burnt eggs & broken promises (ao3) - kingscrossinseptember luke/ashton, background michael/harry, background michael/ashton G, 4k
Summary: Ashton's always found his roommate, Luke, nothing but aggravating, but when they make a deal where Ashton has to pretend to be Luke's boyfriend for a night, his opinion starts to shift slightly...
catching fire like kerosene (ao3) - sourscarlets luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 8k
Summary: When Luke accidentally burns down his apartment, he's rescued by a cute fireman named Ashton, who ends up getting Luke to be his fake boyfriend.
or, 5 times Luke and Ashton pretended to be dating, and the one time they admitted to themselves that they actually were.
dream until your dreams come true (ao3) - bellawritess calum/ashton T, 12k
Summary: Mali pulls him into her room and instructs him to close the door behind him, which Calum does. “What’s up? Is everything okay?”
“Is everything okay?” Mali repeats incredulously. She laughs. “Calum, are you really trying to tell me you’ve had a boyfriend for two months and you didn’t tell me? Because that’s what you’re asking me to believe right now.”
Calum’s heart skips a beat. “What? Do you not like Ashton?”
“Are you kidding me? I love Ashton. I know everything about him because you talk about him all the time. And if at some point he had actually become your boyfriend, there is no fucking way you wouldn’t have shared that information with me.” Mali levels a stare at him. “What’s going on, dude?”
for real (ao3) - galacticsugar luke/calum E, 63k
Summary: There’s an order to things in LA. An established code of conduct between celebrity and mere mortal, wherein the mere mortal does not engage with the celebrity unless it is an approved event, like a red carpet or a meet & greet. It’s a symbiotic relationship that allows the celebrities to live their lives in relative peace and allows the mere mortals to look upon their beauty in the wild.
Hold my hand and kiss my cheek darling (the world is watching us) (ao3) - Abbypd luke/ashton, michael/calum G, 23k
Summary:
“But why do I need a fake boyfriend to come out?” Ashton asked, glaring at his manager – a woman in her forties who usually knew exactly what she was talking about. This time, the young singer wasn’t too sure. “Because why else would you have waited for two whole years to come out? With a boyfriend you can just tell them you didn’t know you were into guys until you met him. It will be romantic and everybody will love it.”
Or Luke and Ashton are both idiots who are too scared to admit that their kisses aren't just for the cameras.
if we make it through december (ao3) - allsassnoclass (brightblackholes) luke/ashton T, 28k
Summary: “I didn’t tell them,” he blurts. Ashton falls silent on the other end of the line. “My family. I didn’t tell them about the breakup. And I know that I should’ve and I swear I will, but Gram asked about you today and it’s probably her last Christmas with us and you know how much she loves you. I couldn’t do it. It’d break her heart, and I can’t do that to her. Not right now. So if you-- I mean. What I’m trying to say is that you’re still invited to Christmas, if you want. You don’t have to, I can make an excuse for you, and I swear I’ll tell them after the holidays, but I thought maybe… maybe you’d want to see them one last time.”
It's An Out of Date Tradition For Lonely People To Fake Love (ao3) - FayeHunter michael/luke T, 20k
Summary: Michael didn't plan to spend his Christmas meeting Luke's family while pretending to date Luke. Too bad he's hopelessly in love with Luke. The course of true love never did run smooth

Summary: (401): He's pretending to be my boyfriend so that my family won't bother us when we sneak off to smoke weed.
let me love you - @sup3rbloom (haveufoundwhaturlookingfor) luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 10k
Summary: Luke Hemmings is a rockstar with a troubled past. He's struggling with an alcohol addiction and a career that's going downhill, but Calum isn't giving up on him. Calum suggests Luke a fake boyfriend to help keep the bad press away. That's where Ashton comes in, Ashton who is an embodiment of sunshine. Luke's hesitant due to his failed past relationships, but he agrees, because he knows this is what he needs to save his career.
plus one (ao3) - cliffakitten luke/ashton, michael/calum T, 6k
Summary: Or, the one where Ashton needs a date to his cousin's wedding and Cal and Mikey are the most unhelpful helpful friends there ever was.
Quarantined (ao3) - Livislover michael/calum, luke/ashton, sierra/luke T, 12k
Summary: Ever since quarantine, Luke and Ashton haven't gotten to see each other. This isn't an AU. Luke already likes Ashton and Malum are secretly seeing each other. It's a love fest with some break ups.
Scene 14 - @daydadahlias​​ (cornflowerblue (daydadahlias)) luke/ashton E, 128k
Summary: It's one of the first lessons you learn. There’s a difference between performing and acting.
Actors are intellectuals; they’re poets with their expression and the way their voices hit the air. Performers, by comparison, are children, ignorant and too bright for their own good. No one wants to admit to being only a performer. If you’re anyone worth anything, you want to be an actor.
And Luke is not an actor, but Ashton is.
Or, the one where Luke hates Ashton but has to pretend to be in love with him for five months for his acting final except for the fact that maybe he isn't pretending anymore.
Stranger Things (ao3) - notonguexwithbutt michael/luke M, 6k
Summary: "Looking back on his night, Michael's not sure if stranger things actually have happened, but he thinks he’d be willing to let them as long as Luke is involved."
Michael keeps getting hit on by a creep at a concert and Luke comes to his rescue.
you could call me babe for the weekend (ao3) - tutorgirl michael/ashton, luke/ashton, calum/ashton E, 14k
Summary: when luke bails on ashton for a series of romantic christmas dates that he has planned, michael joins him instead.
or 12 days of christmas.
your eyes will lead me straight back home (ao3) - rocketshiptospace luke/ashton T, 20k

Blurb
NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you the continuation of the stand-alone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. "Is This Love?" is an age gap, marriage of convenience, friends to lovers, small-town romance.
Legend
A marriage of convenience is one thing... but falling for your fake wife is all kinds of complicated.
Being married for a year is the only way to claim my inheritance. I couldn't care less about the money. It's not like I even knew my grandparents.
I wasn't even considering it until Monroe volunteered. Sweet, sweet, Monroe. I've never let myself consider her as an option for me.
She's been tucked safely away in a box labeled forbidden. That is until she takes my last name.
Monroe
It's not like I planned to marry one of my friends... or fall for him.
One minute I offer to be his fake wife, and the next, we're going through the motions-- saying, "I do," and playing house.
Legend is the kind of guy fantasies are made of--tall, dark, and tattooed. Now I'm sharing his bed and his last name for the next year.
Everything looks good on paper, and while this may have started out as playing pretend, the way I feel for him is the realest thing I've ever known.
As the weeks pass by, it doesn't take long before either of us begins to question if we're just friends or if this is this love after all.
