Good boy by 28sunflowers | E | 2768
Harry is startled out of his thoughts by the needle going over one of his ribs. Thankfully, he catches himself and manages to stay still, but accidentally lets out a whimper at the unexpected stronger burn. He exhales slowly when Louis takes the gun off his skin, trying to remain calm.
“Good boy,” Louis tells him automatically, giving him a pat to the hip.
Soft Wings by kingsofeverything | G | 4375
Harry is a Dolly Parton fan who wants to get a tattoo in tribute to her. Louis is the tattoo artist.
take your whole life then you put a line through it by sunflower_lwt | M | 5332
an AU with trans harry, an all-knowing cousin, and tattoo artist louis.
lemongrass and sleep by moonshinelouis | E | 5370
Louis is a tattoo artist and Harry wants a rose tattoo.
I See Your Colours and I'm Dying of Thirst by taking_sweet_time | nr | 6244
Harry asks Louis for a tattoo, but forgets to mention that he's got a little bit of a... problem when it comes getting inked. Shenanigans ensue.
Or, a very dumb fic about Harry's fucking whale (maybe) tattoo.
Makes Me Feel Alive by hazzahtomlinson | E | 8372
Louis hated when people came in to get tattooed and couldn’t sit still— bunch of fucking squares is what they were. If only that had been the issue for his newest client.
A Simple Twisted Fate by Cyantific | E | 18125
Global rock star Harry Styles has some time to kill between tour dates and stumbles into a Doncaster tattoo shop with a desire for some new ink. He has a few other desires as well, but those he must keep to himself.
Louis Tomlinson, owner of Twisted Fate Tattoos, has seen enough of the tabloids and thinks he knows everything there is to know about this world-famous rock star, and he’s not impressed.
Harry may be one of the world's biggest stars known for a lavish lifestyle, crazy parties and entourages of women wherever he goes, but he’s more than just what his image and wild reputation suggests.
Things take an interesting turn when Louis finds out he’s been helping satisfy Harry’s voracious pain kink. Bet he'd love to know that not only is Louis a gifted tattoo artist, but an experienced Dom as well. Perhaps they both have something to learn from each other, if only Louis would give Harry a chance. Maybe their paths crossing was more than just a twist of fate, but the universe’s plan all along.
Necessity is the mother of invention by words_of_my_own | E | 87502
Louis is the owner of a couple of tattoo studios that are not for tattooing purposes only.
Harry works as a policeofficer and infiltrator, currently on a case that really only should be straight forward.
What happens when things aren't what they seem, morals come into play, and when you fall in love with the one person you just shouldn't?
no hand on the reign by tempolarriefics | E | 137051
Then, he sees it. His eyes lock on the tattoo and he sucks in a sharp breath, unable to look away. His brain screeches to a halt, and not just because of the sight that is a half-naked Harry.
There, on Harry’s outer arm, is an intricate tattoo of a large ship. A large ship which perfectly complements the compass tattoo hidden on Louis’ own forearm.
“It’s that one.” Louis breathes, reaching out a shaky finger to point to the ship on Harry’s left outer arm.
“You’re sure?” Harry asks.
Louis nods. He’s never been more sure of anything in his life.
He has found his soulmate.
Or, a twist on a soulmate au where louis is a newly independent tattoo artist and harry just wants his soulmate tattoo removed. Of course, they're soulmates.

hii ! first, thanks a lot for your recs 🫶🏻 i was wondering if you have a few fics similar to wild love by purpledaisy where they’ve been friends for years and were never interested in the other romantically until one day they realize they’re very compatible with each other
Hi, anon! You're so very welcome! Here are some fics that have that same vibe as Wild Love you're looking for...
Snow In Love by @lululawrence
Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.
People thought they were already dating. Weird.
An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.
Never Let Me Go by loveisalaserquest17 / @elenaferrante
“Harry! I’ll tell you what,” Louis exclaims, clapping his hands together. There’s a big grin on his face. “If both of us are still single by your thirtieth birthday, we’ll marry each other.”
Harry’s head snaps up, eyes widening. “What?”
Harry and Louis have been friends forever, but they couldn't be more different. One night, with a little too much alcohol, they make a pact to marry in ten years if they're both still single.
Now, one month before the deadline, Louis is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up with his best friend. But is he, really? | Loosely inspired by The 10 Year Plan
kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics / @tempolarriefix
Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?”
He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."
aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).

University AUs!
It's the very first crowdsourced fic rec! We have 23 amazing fics listed here, about the trials and tribulations, the adventures and anarchy, the good decisions and bad decisions and downright terrible decisions that come with post-secondary education. We might have graduated high school, but we still dumb as SHIT.
Please enjoy, share, leave a kudos or a comment -- and get your reccing fingers ready for the next theme!
From Eight Until Late, I Think About You by supernope (35227, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

you can hear it in the silence by imogenlee (234857, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
When Harry Styles was accepted into a post-grad degree, he knew he could no longer afford his flat, leaving him with three options: 1) Move back into student halls. 2) Become homeless. 3) Move in with his best (and only) friend, Niall, and three of Niall's other mates. He went with the third option. But it was a close race.

Hey guys!! Here are some of my fic recs for the 28th (and we'll pretend I'm on time)
whatever floats your boat by larryftnoctrl / @the-larry-way
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Not Rated | 24.8k | Friends-To-Lovers, Mutual Pining, Healthy Communication
When Harry's mother convinces him to attend his ex's wedding, he must enlist support in the form of his handsome and charming best friend, flatmate and convincing fake boyfriend, Louis. With Louis by his side, the ever present sun and the plenty of open bars, an all expenses paid week long cruise doesn't seem like the worst he could do.
let's get naked and explore (our inner secrets) by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed
Louis Tomlinson/Zayn Malik | Explicit | 8k | Friends with Benefits, Phone Sex, Smut
Louis' name flashes on his screen and Zayn frowns at the phone before accepting the call and putting it on speaker. "Lou?"
"Don't you mean daddy?" Louis asks, and Zayn fumbles with his phone, quickly taking it off speaker and putting in his airpods even before he's consciously registered what Louis had said.
"What?" he hisses, his cheeks red with embarrassment, but even when he takes out one airpod to listen he can't hear anything in the hallway, no giggling sisters or horrified mothers indicating that he's been overhead. "Jesus, Lou, give me a warning next time." It's not as though both of them haven't ever started conversations about kink at random before, but here? Now?
Louis doesn't chuckle, the way Zayn expects him to. Instead he sounds a little confused, or at least careful. "You're the one that started it?"
"I did not!" Zayn insists hotly, squirming a little bit in bed because he knows that he hadn't but he can't lie, there's part of him that is a little intrigued.
Or: Zayn and Louis figure out a new kink with the help of good ol' autocorrect.
Together We're The Greatest by hellolovers13 / @hellolovers13
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Explicit | 4.6k | Alternative Universe - Dystopia, Getting Back Together, Angst
“How the fuck does this always happen to you?” Louis huffed, pulling Harry's limp body into the half fallen apart car he'd borrowed for this. Well, he didn't intend to give it back, really, but insurance covered theft, did it not? And this thing was basically held together with duct tape and good faith, so really, the former owners should thank him for taking it off their hands.
-
It's not the first time Louis has to stitch Harry back together, but Louis will make sure it is the last.
No hand on the reign by tempolarriefics / @tempolarriefix
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Explicit | 137k | Soulmate Identifying Marks, Angst with Happy Ending
Then, he sees it. His eyes lock on the tattoo and he sucks in a sharp breath, unable to look away. His brain screeches to a halt, and not just because of the sight that is a half-naked Harry.
There, on Harry’s outer arm, is an intricate tattoo of a large ship. A large ship which perfectly complements the compass tattoo hidden on Louis’ own forearm.
“It’s that one.” Louis breathes, reaching out a shaky finger to point to the ship on Harry’s left outer arm.
“You’re sure?” Harry asks.
Louis nods. He’s never been more sure of anything in his life.
He has found his soulmate.
Or, a twist on a soulmate AU where Louis is a newly independent tattoo artist and Harry just wants his soulmate tattoo removed. Of course, they're soulmates.
Just a touch of your love by thegirlontheblackhoodie / @thegirlontheblackhoodie
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Explicit | 12k | Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alpha Louis Tomlinson, Touch Starved
“What if something happened to you? What would I say to Niall?”
“Nothing, he would have to wait to see my corpse on the news like everyone else.” Deadpanned Harry. Louis’ gasp was all the answer he got. Ok, so that might have been a bit too much. With a calmer voice, he said, “It’s really fine. I’ve walked to the tube countless times, I can handle myself. Just go home and tell Niall to stop mothering me.”
Louis was finally walking by his side and gave him a sideways glance before talking. “He doesn’t know, does he? Of your, uh, condition.” Harry tensed and his breath became erratic, but he didn’t say a word. Louis continued. “His nose probably hasn’t picked it up, and you’re lucky Liam’s also a beta, but it took me a minute to confirm it. Your scent is gettin’ so…” He seemed to struggle to find a word. He didn’t finish the sentence, but the emotion in his voice made Harry’s tummy churn.
--
Or, Harry is a touch starved omega trying to get through it on his own. Louis happens to be the only alpha around to realize it and offers to help.
Makes Me Feel Alive by hazzahtomlinson / @itsnotreal
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Explicit | 8k | Tattoo Artist Louis Tomlinson, Baker Harry Styles, Meet Cute
Louis hated when people came in to get tattooed and couldn’t sit still— bunch of fucking squares is what they were. If only that had been the issue for his newest client.
Stay with me, stay with me by DaddyAlphaLouisBabyOmegaHarry / @bottomhaztoplou
Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Teen and Up Audiences | 3.5k | Alternative Universe - Historical, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics
“The Duchess is ill!” cried the omega’s maid as she hurried down the stairs.
“What?” called the housekeeper.
“He can’t get out of bed!”
(I also recommend all fics in their Duchessry series )

Do you have any recommendations of College/Uni AU’s.
Yes! Check out the uni tag on our blog. There’s more under the same tag on our ask blog here. And here are some more recent ones:
College/Uni AUs
The First Year by parmahamlarrie (46k)
When Louis Tomlinson was assigned a first year student to be his roommate for his final year at the University of Manchester, his expectations were low. All he needed was a cheap place to sleep and keep his stuff amidst his nights out, willing his brain to forget his past. He never expected Harry Styles to become his eclectic, sweet, and cuddly best friend. That was never the plan.
voicemail sings a wreck by falsegoodnight (37k)
Louis is the president of the biggest omega sorority on campus, Harry is the president of the biggest alpha fraternity on campus, and they do not get along.
All Your Mates Are Here by LadyLondonderry (36k)
"The pack is... It's folding, Harry."
Like every werewolf does when they get to a new town, Harry joined one of the many local packs when he started university. Now, three years into his program, he's hit with the news that his pack is giving up, going their separate ways. In the wake of the holidays, the three single wolves from the Majestic pack are pointed in the direction of a new pack to join; one that's got struggles of its own.
A new pack, a new house, and two new roommates with personal space issues... Plus exams, of course.
Happy Christmas, here's to many more.
Look What You've Done To Me by Kikiberoski16 (33k)
Harry is Louis’ new dorm roommate and debate team member. Louis has to balance falling in love and winning the debate championship.
Higher, Further, Faster by hazzahtomlinson (31k)
Or the one where Harry decides to go to college regardless of what his team warns him about and has to face the consequences, some of which aren’t so terrible after all. There's anger, confusion, laughter and love. Mix in a bit of FIFA and a boy who plays soccer at the college Harry goes to and it just might be the happily ever after he didn’t know he wanted.
both feet off the ground by Stylespaynesme (16k)
Harry hates his best friend Zayn's new friend Louis, but when an unexpected injury lands Zayn in the hospital, Harry finds himself forced to spend a lot more time with his competition.
if it looks like, feels like, tastes like love... by tempolarriefics (16k)
the one where harry and louis hate each other but pretend to date to be able to live in university 'family housing', zayn and liam are their nosy next door neighbors, and niall is the friend who made it all happen.
Nothing's Scarier Than Losing You by alltheselights (15k)
When Louis and Harry run into each other at a Halloween party two months after their breakup, they’re reminded of how rude, infuriating, and utterly perfect for each other they are.
When You Wish by FallingLikeThis (9k)
Harry Styles is a regular uni student who's perfectly content with his unremarkable existence. That is, until he buys an old oil lamp that just happens to have a wish-granting genie inside. Now, he's realising that he's not quite as happy as he once thought he was. It's too bad that the one thing he wants is the one thing a wish can't give him.
Can't Buy My Love, Can Buy Me Dinner by LadyAJ_13 (9k)
Is it ethical to accept a dinner date for the free food? And will you hate me when I go anyway?
Fact 1: Louis hates Harry Styles.
Fact 2: Louis is temporarily living off toast and spaghetti hoops.
Fact 3: ...Louis may be semi-accidentally dating his worst enemy.
"Why WAS There a Street Sign on the Floor?" by parmahamlarrie (5k)
Louis Tomlinson's been pining after his high school sweetheart Harry Styles ever since their painful split before the two went their separate ways for college. Will they let the Gator/'Noles rivalry keep them apart? Or will one night of football change the course for them in this game we call love?
we're a slow burning tune by sitandadmire (3k)
AU. Louis is a Reaper and Harry is an Immortal. They meet at a college party.
Eco-Friendly by amomentoflove (3k)
the one where Harry just wants to get through one college year with a good roommate
Ghostly Intervention by lululawrence (666)
Louis insists his dorm room is haunted.
Harry doesn't really believe him, but if Louis comes to him every time the "ghost" comes, he's not going to complain either.

kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics
Rating: Mature
Word Count: 47,254
Summary:
Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?”
He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."
aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).

Happy 28th!
Here are all the fics I read and enjoyed this month. All my love goes out to all the amazing authors in our fandom who never fail to make my days better ♥
Your Gift is Wasted On Me | therogueskimo | omegaverse - strangers to lovers - strangers to friends to lovers - touch deprivation - touch aversion - therapy - PTSD - panic attacks - smut - 54k
“He had a partner for a long time, and he says that he was too dependent. He doesn’t want an alpha, at least not right now. But he’s got a pretty severe case of touch deprivation. So it’s … not great.”
“Is there anything …”
“He doesn’t like to be touched. There was an incident a few weeks ago and he just … he can’t bear human touch.”
________
Omega Louis has severe touch deprivation and is averse to touch. But he’s fine. Really.
Alpha Harry is the new neighbor who loves to bake cookies and is very curious about the omega across the hall.
All I know is I'm in trouble ('cause the atmosphere's so cold) | we_are_the_same | college/university - Christmas - enemies to friends to lovers - fluff - no angst - anxiety - 8k
While on a holiday with his best mate Zayn, Louis meets Harry, who seems to dislike him from the start. It's just his luck he ends up getting stuck on a ski lift with Harry. Except maybe the universe knows better and he really is lucky.
Charm Your Pants Off | 4ureyesonly28 | Christmas - hospitals - doctor/patient - fluff - humor - 2k
When Harry hurt himself in front of all of his coworkers, he thought his Christmas Eve couldn’t get any worse. That was, until he ended up in an actual ambulance.
Perhaps the gentle and ridiculously attractive doctor he meets at the hospital can make his trip (pun absolutely intended) worth it?
Alpha Heater For Sale | stretchmybones | omegaverse - college/university - enemies to lovers - no smut - 3k
He passed by the bulletin board in the hallway, as usual, flyers about open mics, dorm events, and the like. This time though, he stopped when a flyer caught his eye. The words “alpha” and “heat” calling out to him.
Louis tilted his head at the flyer curiously.
It read: Alpha heater for sale! Winter weather got you down? Call Harry for your warm, furnace-like needs!
Harry The Helpful Ghost | tempolarriefics | ghosts - human/ghost relationship - smut - 15k
“I just like to help.”
Louis blinks at the ghost in shock. “Were you the one who fixed the lights yesterday as well? And made me food?”
“I helped you,” Harry says simply. He raises his eyebrows, nodding towards where Louis’ hands are folded in his lap to cover his erection. “Could help you out with that as well, if you wanted.”
Or, the one where louis buys a house that may or may not be haunted and harry just wants to be helpful.
The Woods are Lovely, Dark and Deep (series) | HelloAmHere | werewolves - magical realism - Christmas - hurt/comfort - fluff - angst - pining - slow burn - 128k
1. You're Never Alone with a Moon this Bright
Louis was a monster. But sometimes, even monsters get a Christmas.
2. Believe Me When I Say You Have It All
Harry had never faced anything in this forest that had actually succeeded in scaring him. Louis was no exception.
3. Your Life Worth Walking on a Bright Morning
For all its complexity, Louis sometimes reminded himself, life could always be simplified into a series of forks in the road. Even overwhelmingly big things were survivable when you broke them down to their choice. One path or the other, left or right.
4. But We Have Promises To Keep
Maybe, Louis thought, from the beginning to the end, he had always known exactly what he wanted. He had always heard it, a quiet song in his head never giving up, because it had never been a thing apart from who he was. Someone who wouldn’t stop. Someone who could walk out into the dark, seeing nothing, having little, and still looking.
The undeniable, terrifying, gorgeous truth was always going to be this: that he had a heart, and that that heart wanted to live.

Harry, Did You Know (that your baby boy, is married to his best friend?)
Harry, Did You Know (that your baby boy, is married to his best friend?) by tempolarriefics
10 years ago, Louis and Zayn made a pact that if they weren't married by 30, they'd marry each other. So they do, as best mates do.
Enter Harry Styles, who's new to town. He and Louis are immediately drawn to one another. Louis doesn't tell Harry about Zayn, because they're just friends (who are married.)
Harry finds out on Christmas Day, Louis/Zayn's "anniversary".
aka a marriage pact AU with a twist

Harry the Helpful Ghost by TempoLarrieFics
Rating: Not Rated
Word Count: 15,619
Summary: “I just like to help.”
Louis blinks at the ghost in shock. “Were you the one who fixed the lights yesterday as well? And made me food?”
“I helped you,” Harry says simply. He raises his eyebrows, nodding towards where Louis’ hands are folded in his lap to cover his erection. “Could help you out with that as well, if you wanted.”

if you like it by words_unravel | G | 874
Perhaps this wasn't Louis's best idea. Maybe.
Beautiful, Dirty, Rich by KrisStylinson | E | 4223
Louis shrugs, then as if it’s the simplest answer in the world, mumbles, “You said you were bored.”
Zayn’s heart melts. He’s got the sweetest boy in the world, hands down. He’s so thankful. “And they just let you in for that?”
This time, Louis grimaces while his head floats back and forth questionably. “They let me in because I’m Zayn Malik’s husband who had to come a little late due to work issues, which I’m terribly sorry for.”
Zayn can’t help but give that a laugh with a fond shake of his head. “You’re such a fuck.”
At Least I Think I Do by KrisStylinson | M | 5596
It’s just supposed to be a prank. Harry isn’t supposed to be okay with the idea of accidentally marrying his best friend, or the fact that he’s woken up naked in bed with him the morning after. He’s supposed to freak out and maybe cry a bit until Louis finally takes pity on him and tells him it’s a joke. He’s not supposed to like it.
the sun rises behind you | E | 15674
“Well,” he says, trailing off and hoping Malik will say something, anything, so he can get an idea of what he’s in for. Malik is a computer analyst, for crying out loud. Jeffries might as well have thrown them to the wolves.
Actually, wolves probably would have been nicer than this assignment.
harry and zayn as undercover agents, posing as newlyweds in suburbia.
Just Say Yes | nr | 19575
“Well, given that I’ve run all out of options - I’d like to propose,” Louis says with a sharp grin.
‘Propose what?’ Harry questions, frown on his face. ‘Honestly Louis, you’re in trouble here and we have to find a way that’ll allow you to stay. Now’s not the time to be cryptic.’
“I’m not being cryptic – I’m proposing, here.” He sits down on one knee and quickly fashions a ring out of the hair-tie he’s still got wrapped around his wrist.
“Harry Styles – please marry me and make an honest, British citizen out of me.”
--
or the one where Louis and Harry fake a marriage to keep Louis in Britain, and it's suspiciously easy, until it isn't anymore.
Hard Brexit by Lunarrua | nr | 31241
There are ways of getting an EU passport, if you really need one. And what's a fake marriage between old friends anyway? It's not like a little past history and some lingering, unspoken emotions could make matters complicated, now could it?
A Brexit-inspired fake marriage AU.
For Better, Worse And Mischief (I'm All Yours) by RedOrchid | E | 37513
The One Direction PR management team decides that Harry needs to get married. Harry doesn't want to. Louis comes up with the perfect solution to the problem.
kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics | M | 47254
Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?”
He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."
aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).
Sail away with me by Star_Henderson | E | 47443
“It’s inhumane putting four blokes in one cabin.” Louis stripped off and climbed up into his top bunk. “And why did we get the smelliest twat on the whole ship and bore of the century?”
Harry shrugged. “We clearly pissed someone off along the way.”
Louis snorted softly. “Who do I have to bend over for to get us an upgrade?”
Harry barked out a laugh. “If only it were that simple.” He rolled his eyes wistfully at Louis.
“The only way I’m going to get a two berth is to throw Payno overboard and be next in line for the deputy cruise director's job.” Louis leaned up on one elbow to look over at Harry.
“Would you help me weigh his body down so I don’t go to jail?”
“Only If I can share your cabin.” Harry shuffled about, tucking the duvet between his legs, sweeping his hair up into a bun and securing it in a band. “I’m not being an accessory to murder and then still having to share with them two, no fucking way.”
Or
Louis and Harry are part of the entertainment team on board a luxury cruise liner. They hate sharing their four berth cabin with two other guys and would do anything to get a cabin of their own.
One drunken night the solution was simple. They'd just get married...

Hii, do you've any larry fic suggestions where they're forced to marry for business convenience but end up falling for each other?
Hi, anon! Here are some that I think fit what you're looking for. If you want a full rec, check out the "Suggestion Box" link on the pinned post!
put the stars in our eyes by pinkgelpen (crybaby)
Louis is set to inherit the family farm after the death of his father, but after finding out that he needs to be married in order to do so, purchasing a nineteen year-old, mail-order husband named Harry Styles seems to be the easiest answer.
And I’d Marry You Harry (Because You Forced Me) by @2tiedships2
Louis had blindly followed Harry back to his office, closing the door behind him.
“I’m slightly confused,” Louis said. “Actually I’m very confused.”
“About what?”
“What just happened upstairs? Did you forget that you told your boss that we were engaged? Because the last time I checked we are very much not engaged. At all. No offense, but we never will be.”
“It’s really not that complicated,” Harry explained. “We get married and in a year or so we can file for divorce. No big deal. It’s not like you can’t wait a little while to find someone else anyway.”
Louis was going to pay a bus driver to accidentally run into Harry. A concussion would be fine. Obviously a couple broken limbs. That’s something that’s not complicated.
Or The Proposal AU featuring Harry as Sandra Bullock, Louis as Ryan Reynolds, and all the fun a fake relationship and forced engagement can bring.
kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics / @tempolarriefix
Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?”
He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."
aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).

✳️ Tide's Deathless Death by Jennifer_Kaid / @poetsreprieve
(E, 4k, pirates) He was certainly going to relieve all the navies of their plight by taking down the captain. At least then, in his relatively newfound life of piracy, he would have done one good deed.

Fake Dating Rec List!
List number four is here! I asked (in what I'm sure was a very dignified and reasonable way that did not involve tearing my hair or beating my chest because I love fake dating a completely normal amount) and you guys sure delivered! So below, we have 16 amazing fics (plus one Honorable Mention), ready for your reading pleasure.
It's Fine To Fake It 'Til You Make It ('Til It's True) by Sunflouwerhabit (150960, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
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.
Reccer says: Their characterizations and chemistry in this fic were greats
Sun Means Sky'll Be Blue by Pearlydewdrops (91152, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
As the only singleton under thirty attending his cousin’s five-day wedding, Harry is desperate to find a date, or at least a reason to get people’s questions about his love life off his back. So when Louis, Harry’s old uni roommate and fellow wedding attendee waltzes back into his life, Harry seizes the opportunity, pretending Louis is his ex-boyfriend and that it’s a sore subject not to be mentioned.
Reccer says: I enjoyed the hate to love aspect of this fic, and how they dealt with their feelings. It was also fun to read about all of the dramatics with the wedding and Harry's family.
Escapade by Dolce_piccante (146241, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
CEO Louis / Jack McQueen Harry
Reccer says: Everyone knows Escapade (I hope!) but it's impossible not to mention her. It’s the standard-bearer of fake dating fics!
Mistletoe’s For Two by Crimsontheory (90901, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Advent fic, Harry and Louis pretend to be boyfriends. Or not...
Reccer says: The perfect advent fic I think, the kind you'd see in a Christmas movie.
The Games We Play by wishingforloushair (50000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
Warnings: Gun violence, blood, violence in general, a bit of ptsd-like symptoms
Harry and Louis are MI6 agents who have hated each other since basic training but now have to go undercover as a married couple
Reccer says:
keep you like an oath by alnima (18102, Mature, Zayn Malik/Louis Tomlinson)
A supercute Zouis fake dating non-famous American AU with a wild Louis and awkward Zayn!
Reccer says: I love Zouis and this fic gets their relationship dynamics perfectly.
MARRIED FOR A WEEK?! by gravitycentered (20000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
Louis is a YouTuber, and asks his friend Harry to join him in a "Married For A Week" challenge. Neither of them wants it to end.
Reccer says: I love the depth of the story, the layers to their friendship and their history and their care for each other. There's also a really interesting interplay of Louis' YouTube videos with Harry's photography projects, and the ideas of what to capture or share and what to keep just them, what's posed or acted and what's real.
kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics (47000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
When Harry can't afford to finish his university degree without financial aid, Louis volunteers to marry him in order to help him qualify. Of course, that decision is complicated by the fact that Louis has been secretly in love with Harry for years.
Reccer says:
like a moth into a flame by we_are_the_same (5397, Teen, Zayn Malik/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
A student writes Zayn a sex poem. The only logical conclusion is for Louis and Zayn to fake date.
Reccer says: Everything!! Zayn and Louis' relationship, the whole trope: everything!!
On the Horizon by FitzAndLarry (261051, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Warnings: Minor PTSD, Anxiety themes
Pilot Louis meets Doctor Harry on a flight & end up fake dating on a two week cruise
Reccer says: Its just lovely! The way the characters are written, and their interactions with each other are done wonderfully.
The Greatest Thing by infinitelymint (163789, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
semi-cannon accidental marriage in vegas
Reccer says: The highs and the lows are captivating.
For Better, Worse And Mischief (I'm All Yours) by RedOrchid (37513, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Harry and Louis get married. PR made them do it.
Reccer says: It was a cute read!
Like Candy in My Veins by Littlelouishiccups (31867, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
“Um…” Harry said slowly after a moment. “Okay. That’s… this is… Let me get this straight.” He lifted up a hand and swallowed. “You told your family that you have a boyfriend… and my name was the first one you thought of?” “Harry Potter was on TV, alright? It wasn’t that much of a stretch.”
Reccer says: Picture this: two outspoken, stubborn, pining idiots. Record store owner Louis, bakery owner Harry. Christmas, A/B/O, fake dating, too many pies, a “stolen” parking spot, a flooded bathroom, and puns!
Faking It by TheCellarDoor (46173, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
Best friends in Uni, fake dating to escape unwanted advances—it’s perfect.
Reccer says: The fake dating fic I keep coming back to! It’s sweet and hot and so fluffy.
And Then A Bit by Infinitelymint (158824, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
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.
Reccer says: One of my all time favorite fics! I just love how genuinely happy they are to spend time together, how sweet and soft they are at the beginning. And it’s lovely to imagine this as the 1D reunion we all want.
Just Pretend by Kingsofeverything (90207, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) - fic post
Divorced dads + teenage daughters = pretending to date to keep their kids happy.
Reccer says: I love older Larry—and kingsofeverything writes them SO WELL.
And our honorable mention -- this fic has been removed from AO3, so I didn't feel comfortable publicly sharing a link outside the writer's control or wishes (though I'm sure folks can find copies if they go looking), but I couldn't not mention this absolute classic which is one of my favorite fake dating fics ever.
Pull Me Under by Zarah5 (140140, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)
Warnings: Homophobia, paparazzi harassment/stalking
Louis is a famous footballer outed against his will, Harry agrees to be his fake boyfriend to quell stereotypes and speculation.
Reccer says: Pining, emotion, beautiful writing... a fandom classic. Watching the delicate dance as they get to know each other and trust each other and learn from each other is beautiful. Zarah always does miscommunication so believably and realistically, where you can see exactly where things went awry but you still want to shake them because OH MY GOD YOU BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER
Read, reblog, kudos, and comment to your heart's content.
New category announcement coming soon!

found this fic via my internet friend. ITS SO GOOD OMFGGGG THIS IS EVERYTHING TO ME and then when i made my sister read it, she rained on my parade by telling me it was too perfect and a cliche. which it kind of is,, but is nevertheless beautiful, read if you need that larry wedding feels.
oneshot, 47524 words, mostly fluff but mild angst, blink-and-you-miss-it smut, fake/pretend relationships, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne, slight zigi
Summary:
“Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?”
He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."
aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).”
