haven’t done a rec in a looong time, anyway here you go with some of my favorites of the year 🤍

!!! - be careful and read all the tags and/or warnings before start, left kudos and nice comments to the authors <33

🌟 i need you in my swamp by @loubbies | harry x louis x shrek | 1.7k

While on vacation, sugar babies Harry and Louis get caught seducing a big dicked pool boy.

🌟 get nesting & soft knots by @pocketsunshineharry | harry x louis | 5.7k

AU where Omega Louis who runs a nesting materials Youtube channel meets Alpha Harry who knits his own blankets

🌟 ace of spades by @allwaswell16 | harry x louis | 78k

Living as a sheltered omega in a farming village has not prepared Harry for life aboard the most notorious pirate ship to sail the Atlantic. Or Louis is a pirate, Harry is his captive, and no one is who they say they are.

🌟 here’s your perfect by @brightgolden | harry x louis | 54k

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. OR 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.

🌟 reckless behaviour by @nouies | harry x louis | 13k

Harry is a retired football player looking for a new opportunity. Louis is the image consultant hired to help him find it.

🌟 crave for more of you by @cuddlerlouis | harry x louis | 34k

“Look, I’ll propose. I’ll do all the talking,” Harry says. “You’ll just have to look pretty and say yes at one point. That’s all. If that works, we get dinner for free, if it doesn’t work, we go for dinner on me.” “Where do you get a ring?” “You’re thinking about it, aren’t you?” Harry smirks. Fake proposing to your best friend to get free food at restaurants seems like a perfect game. What could possibly go wrong?

🌟 dark doom, honey by @outropeace | harry x Louis | 57k

Louis lifted one shoulder, lips slightly pursed. “You are acting like an asshole.”

Harry’s mouth pressed into a thin line, eyebrows knitting together. “I wasn’t being an asshole, I was following my own rules. The ones I always follow when I’m about to start an arrangement with a new submissive. If you don’t want this or are having doubts, we should stop now. But if we do this, I do want to make something clear, I’ll never do anything you don’t want to, but you have to be aware that I’ll never be sweet, I don’t do sweet, you already saw what I do. If you want something different you can go on dates, this is not that. Are we clear?”

It was the perfect way out. Louis could simply say no and their lives would keep on going as they were. So far, nothing was changed beyond repair. But he wanted to be. At some point in his life, way before Harry and the betrayals, Louis lost a little of himself, and had never felt closer to getting it back than in Lair, with Harry.

“Crystal.”

🌟 the holes of my sweater by @harrysmaison | harry x louis | 31k

Harry dusts off the flour from all over his body. His cheeks hurt from how much he laughed. Louis' face is flushed from it, brown hair looking like a nest. Yet Louis' eyes are lit with so much joy, bluer than the oceans, laughter dancing in the little green specks. Harry feels himself get lost in them, Louis looking right back. 'Has Louis always looked this pretty?' He can't help but think.They're snapped out of their trance by the sound of the oven beeping. Harry blinks. Louis is covered from head to toe in flour, looking an absolute mess. Why did Harry think he looked pretty?

Or, Harry is the new teacher, Louis helps him settle in, it's the sweater weather and no one's falling in love with their new, kind and charming best friend. No. One. (includes, harry's cat being 'the mood' all the time, zayn pining for liam, lilo never getting along and niall throwing parties every chance he gets which may or may not willingly trigger these friends to convert into lovers)

🌟 bitter ends turn sweet in time by @greeneyesfriedrice | harry x louis | 24k

“Are you…” Louis looks back down at the paper, voice almost getting caught in his throat, “Harry Styles?” Oh, fuck. Harry Styles.

🌟 ding-dong! daybreak by @thinlinez | harry x louis | 28k

“Hungry for knot?” The alpha’s voice suited his image so well. The deep, borderline sensual octave made Louis shiver. It was laced with timbre and Louis couldn’t remember the last time someone had spoken with a voice like this to him. But wait… Did the alpha just ask him if he was “hungry for knot”? "Excuse me?" The omega could feel a hot flush underneath his skin.

All it took was a flat bike tire, confusing usernames, pumpkin flavored biscuits, a chaotically supportive dog and food deliveries at daybreak for Omega Louis to fall hard.

Last Line Challenge 🔥

I was tagged by @onlythebravest @faithinwalls369 @allwaswell16 @wabadabadaba @thebreadvansstuff to share the last line I wrote for my fic. This is the start of the last scene of my modelling au, like FINALLY!!! For the @notjustsmutficfest.

“You were never that great at maths.” Louis pulled Harry’s hips closer to his crotch and a smirk covered his face. “You didn’t finish the day, you were a very naughty boy today. Nine spanks, just for you.”

monday snippet ✍️

thank you @larrysballetslippers and @loubbies for tagging me to share a snippet of my latest WIP. I've been reviewing what I have for my paper cranes au and adding a few more things, so here's a piece of what I have!

"He's not working today, you know?" Louis heard Niall's voice. Looking toward the counter, he saw the barista with a smug smile.

"Excuse me?"

"Who are you looking for, he didn't work today," Niall explained, grabbing a cup and preparing Louis' drink. Niall capped the drink, handing it over and also giving Louis a little paper crane frog. "But he asked me to give you this, since it made you smile the other day."

Louis was surprised and speechless. He looked at the paper animal and noticed that there were eyes and mouth drawn on it. He smiled to himself and heard Niall speaking again, "Harry likes making paper cranes and is always learning new ones, this week were the frogs."

"I see... it's cute, thank him for me," Louis said smiling and putting the little frog away in his jacket pocket.

"Or you can thank him yourself. Harry will be here tomorrow."

I'm tagging: @wabadabadaba @starsweredible @larrieblr @lhhomefics @beelou @beardyboyzx @lululawrence @twopoppies @kingsofeverything @londonfoginacup @jacaranda-bloom @disgruntledkittenface @crinkle-eyed-boo

ONE LINE, ANY FIC

Rule: Pick any 10 of your fics, scroll somewhere to the mid point, pick a line, and share it! Then tag 10 people.

(some of these are wips. Bc i don't have 10 fics out yet)

I was tagged by @loubbies and @larrysballetslippers . Thanks lovelies.

1. The reincarnation fic (wip)

Green erupted his vision, bright and opaque and present, looking back at him with concern and mild excitement shining like little dew drops on fresh wetland grass.

2. 19th century fic (wip)

In fact, he was amused and dare he say, a little endeared by this carefree looking young man and his unbridled rambling.

3. Christmas au

He dreams of blue eyes looking nearly olive under golden lights and warm feet against his.

4. Vampire Harry fic (wip)

He shoots Harry a grateful smile –which the vampire returns with a loving one of his own– before looking at Niall apologetically

5. Gender fic

Louis feels his heart tug when he realises that tonight will be the same as every other night.

6. Broken elbow fic

Louis should literally be crying with gratitude right now, because Harry didn’t let himself freak out over that news.

7. Boyfriends au (wip)

“Your tea is magic, Lou,” Harry tells him then, eyes still closed but the smile on his face is back and bigger than before, his little dimple popping out.

8. Spiderman louis au (wip)

There was one thing he never wanted to feel, he'd told Louis, and that one thing was hopelessness.

9. uni au (wip)

The last thing he saw was the wetness shining in Harry’s eyes, glimmering under the flash of lightning, the sad tilt of his mouth and the flush of his cheeks, before Louis slammed the door to his face.

10. (This is an abandoned fic but i don't have any more wips rn 😭)

And if an infinitesimally small tear escapes his eye while he has his head stuffed in the softest pillow of his bed, it's not like anyone's ever gonna know or care about that.

Tagging (if you've done it already, ignore!) @thedevilinmybrain @cowboylarries @halohamilton @allwaswell16 @brightgolden @itsnotreal @pocketsunshineharry @agape-28 @dragmedown @thosefookinvacados

ohh how would you feel about doing a Pretty Woman AU?

“You should bring a date.”

“Like hell, I should,” Lou huffed, trying and failing to flag down a cab as buses and shuttles screamed by the airport departure area. “And that’s the kind of thing you should tell me before I fly out to LA for a meeting, Tam.”

“I would’ve made a hot date,” Tammy laughed as Lou rolled her eyes, her cell pinned between her shoulder and her ear as she growled at the airport traffic.

“Please,” Lou smirked. “Not that you wouldn’t. I won’t lie. I’ve thought about it.”

“That’s disgusting.”

“You started it,” Lou pointed out, cursing as her luggage wheel got stuck on the curb. “Fuck LA. I miss New York. God. But what I’m saying—they’re already gonna be right pissed as shit when a woman hands them the deal of a lifetime. The last thing they want to know is that I can treat a woman better than they can.”

“Lou.”

“Don’t lecture me.”

“No, it’s just—I fucked up. I booked you a rental car instead of the hotel shuttle. There’s a car waiting for you.”

“You ordered me a car?” Lou gaped, glaring at the airport she knew she’d now have to re-enter, hating that she’d have to deal with some rent-a-car place with a packed line full of screaming kids. “I don’t even drive in New York. You think I can find my way around California on a whim?”

“It’s like riding your bike, right?” Tammy spoke. Lou could practically see her wincing. “Besides, women just melt at your presence. Just go find some doe eyed girl looking for a night on the town. She’ll point you in the right direction.”

She would have fired Tammy right then and there. But Tammy was her friend. And the only assistant whose neck she hadn’t ever anted to wring. Until now maybe.

She was partially forgiven when the kiosk lady handed Lou a set of keys to a flashy sports car. Maybe driving in LA wouldn’t be so bad after all.

She attempted to ask where she could find her hotel, but the woman was already waving the family behind her forward, and a cooler bag to the head had Lou sprinting out of the airport again at break force.

Her stomach was growling. Her internal clock was three hours off, still on New York time. And she had a presentation to prepare for. She knew she would nail it, but practice and preparation was key. She wanted to know her pitch as well as she knew her own name, and she wasn’t quite there yet. However, she needed a stiff drink and crisp, cool hotel sheets to settle into in order to do that. And she still couldn’t find the bloody hotel.

Blind with road rage from traffic and ready to pull over and sleep in the car, Lou slowed to a roll when she saw a small cluster of woman ahead on a street corner, one of them catching her eye and winking.

It wouldn’t be the night they had in mind, but Lou didn’t mind forking over a hefty tip for some fast directions.

She frowned at the skimpy skirt and midriff top. Sure, California was hot, but the water made it chilly, especially with this breeze whipping through. She had to be freezing out here.

She stopped the car, rolling down the window as the woman leaned over, sticking her head through the window as a pile of flowing brunette hair fell partially inside the car, the smell of a rich, but sweet perfume enveloping Lou as it crawled across the passenger seat.

“Oh,” the brunette grinned, snapping some gum. “Don’t see many woman driving a car like this or stopping here.”

“I’m not most women,” Lou smirked. “You know this area?”

“I own these streets.”

“What’s your name?”

“You first.”

“Miller.”

“That’s a funny name.”

“It’s my last name,” Lou grinned, somehow already smitten with this woman. There was something about her. “And I’m sure you’re about to feed me some fake name. You can skip that. I’m Lou. Lou Miller.”

“And what do you do, Lou Miller?” The brunette smiled back, leaning further inside the car, her arms crossing on the ledge. “What brings you to LA? Business or pleasure?”

“While it’s a pleasure to meet you, still no name,” Lou sighed. “I’m strictly here for business. Which brings me to my job offer.”

“Oh?”

“How much for you to get in my car and give me directions to my hotel?”

“And then what do you want once we get there.”

“To raid my mini fridge,” Lou admitted. “Alone,” she added.

“Fifty bucks,” the brunette replied. “But I’ll let you make adjustments to that job offer once we get there and you’ve sat next to these legs for twenty minutes.”

“I’ll give you two hundred,” the blonde decided, undoing the lock. “And here,” she said, leaning into the backseat to throw a blazer at the brunette. “I’m sure you’re freezing your ass off and I’m driving with the top down.”

“It’s a deal,” she laughed, slipping into the car, draping the blazer over her shoulders, more for show than anything. She turned to the blonde. “And it’s Debbie. You’re gonna want to make a right at the light three blocks up.”

friends don’t kiss me like you do

summary: lou and debbie have to fight their feelings for each other while working/living together + one very jealous lou miller.

length: long (and gay) enough

warnings: extreme fluff!! and a little angst

—

“Just leave it there, TamTam, Jesus.” Debbie spoke with an angry tone while Tammy was sitting at the other end of Lou’s couch, trying to fix Debbie’s heel that broke when she and Tammy ran home together after getting out of the cab on a rainy New York city night.

Debbie almost twisted her ankle stepping on a cobblestone and Tammy laughed, tugging her arm and helping Debbie steady herself, but one of her heels was now wrecked and the brunette was cursing under her breath, meeting an impatient Lou waiting for them by the door, whispering “what the fuck” when both women showed up looking like train wrecks, both a little drunk too. It was supposed to be a business dinner with one of Debbie’s old friends who worked at the bank, and it ended up with margaritas and endless vodka shots.

Lou was a bit hurt, not ever admitting that to anyone, that Debbie didn’t ask her to come with her, calling Tammy instead. Sure, Tammy was her best friend too, but she wasn’t Lou, and Lou wondered why not just ask her when Tammy had to leave four snotty kids at home and Lou was always just… there. She welcomed their drunk mess with tea and dry towels, and now she was watching the silly shatter from the kitchen as Debbie snatched the heel from Tammy’s hand with a giggle.

“Leave it to me, honey, I can do it.” Lou knew it was all part of the banter, but hearing someone else call Debbie those stupid pet names was one of the worst things she’d ever witnessed. It only made her wanna throw up, thinking she’d been somehow replaced by Tammy as the best friend, and maybe as something else too. And it hurt her even more that Tammy was her friend, and that now she was starting to act and think like an immature teenager. Put it together, Miller.

Lou was in love. She couldn’t deny it. As much as she really, really, truly wanted to. She and Debbie had decided on staying “just friends” until they could really work things out between them and also get the heist successfully done. But every time Lou let time pass carelessly she’d find herself attached to the brunette, physically, almost too many times.

It would either happen after Debbie had a rough day assembling new members for the team or after Lou didn’t have a good day at the club. They would always find comfort in each other after midnight when Lou was about to go to bed but Debbie always stopped her before the australian could even step into her bedroom.

It was 1am, Debbie was sure because she’d had dinner with Lou three hours ago when she came back from the club, and afterwards she texted Tammy good night, assuring her that she was okay and thanking her for the help with the banker guy the other day, “also, fuck you, I ruined one good pair of heels because you thought you were Usain Bolt in the rain.”

She heard Lou turn off the kitchen lights and knew the australian was headed to bed, and she suddenly lost interest in the cooking book she was reading. It was Lou’s and she wasn’t even so sure Lou herself actually ever read that thing ever, but it was something to kill her time.

“Lou? Can I sleep with you?” the whisper filled the silent living room. All the lights were out except for the yellow ray from the creepy skull lamp Lou had gotten as a gift from her brother Rusty, she put it on her coffee table at first not really knowing what to do with it and she would always find Debbie sitting by the corner of her couch, using the light to read in the dark. She liked to sit there because she could always see when Lou walked around the place.

Debbie’s eyes followed her like a flashlight and even after almost fifteen years of knowing that woman the effect the australian had on her was still the same. Lou didn’t change at all. Being in prison for five years, she missed seeing that on the daily, and to her surprise, the first night she spent with Lou felt like home again. She never got used to being without Lou. And Lou didn’t either.

It would all fade to black again when Debbie decided to distance herself from those feelings, from Lou. She couldn’t escape the fear of fucking things up with the most important person in her life, so she would pretend to look away when Lou looked at her with that look, wouldn’t go out with her even just to run some stupid errands when Lou asked her to, every moment did something to her and she couldn’t bear it anymore. She couldn’t bare being Lou’s sidekick, even if she knew she wasn’t just that to her.

“Can I?” she whispered again.

“You- uh-“ Lou looked her up and down, her body covered by the robe she hadn’t known the brunette borrowed from her. She smirked, thinking about how she too would often just grab some of Debbie’s clothes and not even give them back later.

“I know we’ve talked about it. It’s not that. I mean- I just can’t sleep. I’m probably reading this stupid book for the 20th time only because I can never fucking sleep. It’s hard, without…” Debbie’s eyes would start to get watery if she hadn’t known any better, feeling so vulnerable in front of her partner. But she felt grateful for Lou’s silly smile growing wider, and the pang of pity as well. Usually that would piss her off, make her feel like she was nothing, like people were always just trying to be nice to her out of politeness and not because they cared for her, but this was Lou. And she knew the truth whenever it came to Lou.

“Yes, c’mon. Leave the bloody book there.” Lou walked to where the brunette was sitting on the couch and helped her stand up, grabbing the book with her right hand and Debbie’s waist with the other. Debbie looked at her with guilt in her eyes.

“Lou, I…”

“Yeah?” she watched the blonde rub her eyes in a sleepy way before yawning and sticking out a hand to her in the most loving, Lou way possible.

“Nothing. Thank you.” she closed her brown cardigan tighter around her shivering body, taking Lou’s hand and walking upstairs to Lou’s room.

Lou let Debbie make herself at home as the brunette tucked herself in and waited for her on her side of the bed. Lou usually slept in the middle of the bed, but she didn’t mind this, at all. The room was a bit dark and had one big window that shone the night lights from the shore outside. Lou loved hearing the waves break inside her head and how the shadows coming from outside the window made living shadows on her walls, it always helped her fall asleep faster, but tonight she didn’t mind that either. This was one of those nights where Debbie was all she would think of. Touching her and having her scent all over her and the room, felt like she could stay like that forever, falling asleep in the brunette’s arms as she scared Debbie’s nightmares away.

She cuddled closer to her, feeling the Ocean sniff her neck as they held each other tight, and Lou covered both their bodies with the heavy white blankets.

“I think we forgot to turn off the lamp, Lou.” Debbie whispered as she felt the blonde run her fingers across her arms.

“What?” Lou glanced at her, confused, making Debbie flush at how cute her stupid little frown was.

“In the living room.”

“Oh. That’s okay, Debs. Just sleep, alright?” she kissed the crown of Debbie’s head and held her like that, letting Debbie get closer and closer. “And you never know, maybe Tam will wanna barge in in the middle of the night to try and fix your heel for you. She might need the light to see.”

“Lou.” Debbie warned, holding back a chuckle.

“Sorry. It’s true.” Lou laughed, turning her back to Debbie.

“Lou?” Debbie called again, almost too scared to speak up.

“Yeah, Debs?” she answered like a mother angry at her child, making them both laugh.

“I miss this.” Lou’s heart stopped, and she looked at those dark eyes facing her in the dark. She could barely see Debbie, but she knew every inch of that face and that woman even more than herself.

“You miss sleeping with me, Ocean? Well that’s fucking impossible because you’re always in my bed.” they shared a laugh and Debbie rolled her eyes.

“You know what I mean, Lou.”

“I do.” Lou could feel her heart break inside her chest like never before. They both knew what they felt for each other, and how they’d left things between them before Debbie went to jail, and they hadn’t walked so far from that point after she got out. Five years later. They just knew it was still there, all of it. The painful silence, the electric touches, the desperate exchange of looks in a crowded room. The longing.

But they had agreed on staying like this for a while and that was the plan the had to stick with no matter what. No matter how much they wanted to go home together after a party with the team and just jump at each other with kisses and teeth, no matter how bad they were in love with each other in a way that nothing else could ever live rent free in their minds like each other.

“I miss… sleeping with you.” Lou smirked, covering her face with her arm.

“We really had it all didn’t we?” the australian whispered.

“We still can.” Debbie said, almost like a plead.

Lou shook her head, lying with her back facing the ceiling and her elbows supporting her weight.

“We couldn’t figure it out back then, Debs. What makes you think we could now?” Debbie cupped her face, bringing it impossibly close to hers.

“We were young, Lou. And stupid.”

“Yeah, well-“ the blonde scoffed, thinking about a 19 year old Debbie Ocean kissing her for the first time. “We still are. Stupid, at least.”

“I wanna be stupid together.” her voice came out broken, her hands finding Lou’s above her brown locks. Lou smiled.

“You do?”

“Yeah. I really fucking do. I can’t be just friends. I wanna kiss you all the time and every fucking day and I wanna be able to tell people that I’m yours and you’re min-“

Lou’s lips met hers with a calm pace, both in a way of saying “please shut the fuck up” and “I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

“I wanna be stupid together, too.” Lou whispered, kissing her again, and again, and again, and again, until they were both finally deep asleep.
