The Greenback Boogie by LewisWilliamStyles (@LewisWilliamStyles)

Harry Styles / Louis Tomlinson

Rating: Explicit

28k

Louis is a Name Partner at Brown Tomlinson, a prestigious law firm in NYC.

Harry is about to start a job as an Associate in said firm.

When they see each other on Harry’s first day of work, it was not the first time they met.

The Suits inspired AU no one asked for.

1D Astro Fic Fest Round 2

We officially had our first Round Robin in our server. We had @beelou (yellow) @lhhomefics (blue) and @larryatendoftheday (red) joining @wabadabadaba (pink) and I (@justalarryblog) (green) and here is our drabble! Thank you guys for writing with us, we had so much fun! 💖

Louis folded the mask up over his eyes and bit his bottom lip as he stared at the fire in front him. He did not mean for this to happen. In fact it was the opposite of what was supposed to happen. And yet, here he was standing in front of a raging fire with his friends.

“The fire didn’t start itself!” Liam whispered, which was more like a yell. “Which one of you did it?”

It was Louis but he wasn’t going to take the blame. “It was Niall.”

“What!” Niall did yell.

Everyone told him to shut up. 

“I didn’t light it!”

Louis obviously lit it.

Louis gasped and clutched at his chest. “I would never!”

“You would,” the entire room chorused.

“Okay, what the fuck!” Louis threw his hands up in the air.

“This is just like you, Louis. Why must you always make a mess and then put the blame on Niall. What has he ever done to you?” Liam complained defensively. 

Louis was very offended at all his friends - so called friends he scoffs internally - turning on him. Sure, it was his fault, just like the many messes in the past few months, but still!!

“I should find some better friends,” He huffed as he watched the fire.

“This is not the time to stand here arguing, is someone going to do something?” Harry said, waving his arms wildly. 

“Why don’t you do something if you have an idea?” Louis bit back. 

“Well, we should probably call someone.” Harry replies

“Who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters?” Louis says sarcastically.

“I think Harry means the fire department, Louis.” Liam says

Oh, that would make sense. “Oh, yeah. Okay.”

The fire started just small, but now as the boys keep arguing, it’s growing larger and yeah, maybe they should call the fire department. 

“Anyone have their phone on them?” 

“Uh guys, if any of you are going to make the call, you should hurry,” Niall said pointing his head towards the fire and showing it was spreading faster.

“Oh shit!” Harry said, picking up his phone and dialing the fire department.

A couple of minutes later, two men entered the room and used a fire extinguisher to put down the fire. 

“What happened here?” One of them asked.

The 3 boys looked at Louis immediately. The man fumbled on his shirt and mumbled something no one could understand.

“Say again?” Liam asked.

“I uh… I was trying to…”

The firemen looked at Louis expectantly. He didn’t know if he should tell the truth, it was quite embarrassing and he didn’t know if he wanted to throw anyone else under the bus. He did get them into this mess so he decided to come clean. With a sigh, he pulled off his batman mask fully and turned to face the rather attractive firemen. On second thought, could he flirt their way out of this? No, no, he had to focus.

“I was trying to burn pictures of my ex-boyfriend,” he finally admitted. “Look, his name is Zayn and he’s gorgeous okay? Devastatingly so but he’s always so busy and he never has time for me so I am trying to get over him. We figured-” his friends scoffed. “Okay I figured if I burned his pictures then it would hurt less. Turns out, it hasn’t.”

“Did you get this idea from Friends?” one of the firemen asked.

“Did you?” Harry yelled.

“No!” Louis gasped. “Of course not.”

No one believed him.

“I just didn’t want to hurt anymore and-”

“And? What? You decided to put all of us in danger? Instead of I don’t know talking to one of us?” Liam shouted.

“Yeah we’re here for you Lou but instead of talking to us you take these ideas from shows and buzzfeed on how to get over an ex” Niall said.

“Yeah like-” Harry started.

“Okay, okay boys, that’s enough, we need to get back to the station but unfortunately we have to take a report of this and deal with whatever this is.” The hot fireman said exasperated.

“Here are some forms that we need you to fill” the other fireman handed Louis a bunch of papers.

“All of this?” Louis asked, incredulous about how thick the pile was. 

“It’s mostly just signatures and initials. It shouldn’t take too long,” one fireman explained.

“Okay, thanks.”

The three boys huddled in close to Louis in a makeshift group hug. 

“Alright, alright, alright! That’s enough, I’m not that desperate for affection,” Louis said, getting out of the hug and straightening his clothes and fixing his hair. 

“Yeah, right. You just needed to set the whole house on fire to let your anger out. That’s fine.” Liam said, showing the place around. 

“I said we clean this mess up and head to the bar, have some beers and play snooker, what do you guys think?” Niall asked.

“Fine for me, what do you say, Lou?” Harry asked.

“Definitely,” Louis smiled and then covered his face.”You guys are really too nice. I almost just burned our whole place.”

“Don’t remind them, Lou,” Harry said, elbowing him.

Liam sighed deeply, shook his head, and then said, “Let’s put that all behind us and support the one and only Tommo.” 

Niall cheered and started tugging on Louis’ arm. “Let’s go!”

“I have to fix my hair!” Louis screeched. Everyone silently rolled their eyes as he ran off to the bathroom to adjust his fringe, but eventually they were on their way out the door to their favorite pub. “I just hope I don’t run into Zayn. If I do, Niall has to kiss me to make him jealous.” 

Title: Cover Me In Jewels Author: @larryislove | @ShatteredGlassHouse on AO3 Artist: @deludedandlostcause Word count: 55k Rating: Explicit Written for the @1dreversebang fest. Summary: “I trusted you, Louis. I took you here because I was proud of my work and wanted to share what I created with my boyfriend.” Harry said, sounding hysterical, but Louis could hear the hint of sadness, and Louis completely felt like shit. “How did you even get in here?”

Louis felt a piece of plastic press into his hands. He wrapped his hand around the card and took a deep breath before walking over to Harry. He slowly opened his hand and held out the copy of Harry’s ID card. Harry let out a strangled cry and grabbed the card out of Louis’ hand.

“I hope you know this is the end of us. I forgave you, Louis. I loved you again, but all this time, you were using me. I hope you rot in Hell,” Harry seethed and walked out of the warehouse.

just an (un)ordinary evening by fearsparks

E-rated • 4.6k • Harry/Louis • a/b/o, gaybo (omega/omega) + established + fluff & smut

“You smell good,” Harry told him, inhaling his scent. “So good. Extra good since you’re being such a good omega to me and making food.”

This made Louis laugh, and he turned around to lean against the counter, facing Harry. “I’m only smelling good because I’m cooking for you?”

“Mhm,” Harry hummed affirmatively. “And since you’re not cooking right now,” he reached out to bop Louis’ nose, only to get his hand swatted away, “you don’t smell that good anymore.”

Louis pinched Harry’s side. “Rude.”

Harry and Louis during an ordinary weekday evening, having a somewhat slow and relaxing night together.

Mistletoe and Eggsnogging by Parmahamlarrie

Harry has a plan. It involves mistletoe, a club, and the hope that perhaps he might pull a nice boy tonight. The night does not go in any way like he had planned, but it all works out in the end.

Available now on AO3!

Here's the collection of fics from our Discord Secret Santa! Thank you to all the members who participated! 💖

🎄All I know is I'm in trouble (cause the atmosphere's so cold) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed for @onlythesweet

Larry, T, 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.

There is also a podfic version available here. Happy holidays!

🎄Mistletoe Cove by @wabadabadaba for @beardyboyzx

Larry, GA, 4K

Once everyone from the competition was gathered in front of the small makeshift stage, the mayor started to thank everyone for coming and participating. He talked about how everyone were winners in his eyes which made Louis want to hurl. Finally, it was time to announce the winner.

“As the manager of Mistletoe Cove,” Liam spoke. “I am so happy to invite the winners of the competition to enjoy a free meal on us.”

“Why is he taking so long?” Harry complained. “Just say it.”

“The winners are…"

or, a small town throws a snowman competition in which two teams are convinced they will be winners of the coveted prize- a reservation to Mistletoe Cove. Only one team can be the winner though, who will it be: Harry Styles and Niall Horan or Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson?

🎄If you ever feel alone (Don't) by @beardyboyzx for @chai-hat-tea

Larry, GA, 9K

Louis is too busy worrying about helping his mum and paying the bills to let himself enjoy his teenage years and hang out with his friends. Enters Harry, who will help him reconcile with his friend and understand the difference between feeling lonely and being alone.

🎄Snow Squalls & Kitty Paws by @littleroverlouiss for @sun-tomato

Larry, GA, 8K

Louis and Zayn own The Future is Meow, a bookstore-slash-cat café, and are spreading the holiday cheer to their customers this Christmas Eve. A few morning snow flakes turn into a full-blown blizzard and before they know it, the safest place for them and their employees to spend the night is the bookstore.

Shop regular and object of Louis’ affections, Harry, is also snowed in with them— as is another man who Harry seems more than friendly with.

Will it be a Christmas miracle if Louis survives the snow squalls, a seemingly unrequited crush, and a curmudgeonly tortoiseshell cat?

🎄Storm Warning by @restless-rebels for @lululawrence

Larry, Teen and Up, 4K

What makes you think he’ll listen to me? He hasn’t for the last few ye-” Harry was suddenly cut off when Remi jumped from her seat on him and took off with the rest of the dogs, pulling Harry so harshly that he landed hard on the ground, his face pressing right against the hard day old snow.

“Haz? Harry? What happened? You stopped talking all of a sudden.” Liam yelled into the phone, clearly frantic.

Harry scrambled to his feet and held the phone up. “I’m fine, I gotta go!” He shouted and ran to catch up to the dogs who were currently jumping around a man, holding his small puppy close to his chest. He breathed harshly as he caught up and put his hands on his hips. “Everyone, heel!”

Immediately, the group laid on the ground and stared up in excitement at the dog in the man’s arms. Harry rushed to collect the leashes and held them in a tight grip, even though they were looped on his wrist. “I’m so sorry about them! They normally don’t rush other dogs, especially when they’re on their leashes..”

“Yea, well maybe you shouldn’t bring so many to the park at one time.” The man chided and looked Harry up and down. “Isn’t there a rule about it or something?”

🎄Louis' "Harry" Christmas by @chai-hat-teatea for @tommokat

Larry, M, 9K

Louis can't go to his family for Christmas because he injured himself. Harry, the wonderful friend that he is offers to take him back to his house. Cue in the confusion and chaos of family, Christmas, and their feelings.

🎄Silver-White Winters by lululawrence for @beelou

OT5 Relationship, NR, 9K

Liam Payne had learned many things as a bartender. He'd learned when people needed to talk, or when they needed a gentle smile. He now knew when they wanted advice or someone to just agree with them. He also had come to recognize when someone was past the limit and needed to be told no.

But when it came to holidays, Liam had learned that when people came into the Neighborhood Pub alone on Christmas Eve, it was for a reason.

Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Louis all definitely have their own reasons for showing up at Liam's bar alone on Christmas Eve. With the help of a surprise winter storm, none of them will have a reason to be alone for long.

🎄Ho Ho Hopefully by safetyfilm for @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed

Larry, Teen and UP, 5K

Attached to the gift, just under the bow, was a paper tag, and Harry wished desperately that he could write his own name there. ‘To Louis, from Harry.’ What a dream that would be.

He’d grown fond of Louis over the time that he’d been watching him, wishing that he could be part of Louis’ life, of his world, regardless of the fact that the only thing Harry had ever known was working for Father Christmas—or Nicholas, as he’d preferred to be called.

The one where Harry is an elf in Santa’s workshop, and Louis is one of the humans he’s been assigned to.

🎄Christmas Pretenders by @larryatendoftheday for @littleroverlouis

Larry, Teen and UP, 4k

When Niall convinced Louis to come home with him for the holidays as his fake boyfriend, he never expected he’d run into the loveliest man he’d ever seen.

Or, a twist on the fake-dating for the holidays fic, where the real love interest is the fake-boyfriend’s best friend.

🎄'Sno(w) Joke by @sun-tomato for @londonfoginacup

The last thing Louis wanted was to get stranded on his birthday. But perhaps it was exactly what he needed.

Featuring a snow storm, a library, and a very grumpy Harry Styles.

🎄Baking Spirits Bright by @beelou / Cherrylarry for @wabadabadaba

Lirry, G, 2k

“Hello, and welcome to day 20 of our Advent Series! I’m Harry Styles and this lovely man on my right is Liam. Say hi, Liam,”

“Hi, Liam!” Liam waves at the camera with a grin.

Harry rolls his eyes with a fond smile. “Alright so today we’re making hot chocolate! Different recipes from all over the world. Mexico, Italy, France, and Brazil.”

🎄While the Moon is Bright by @tommokat for @larrieblr

Larry (Girl Direction), Teen and Up, 1K

Refusing to be the only one over 25 at her family's annual Christmas party, Harry turns to a speed dating event to find the perfect date. Too bad said perfect date hates Christmas.

🎄Odd Dogs by @londonfoginacup / LadyLondonderry for @restless-rebels

Ziall, G, 3k

Zayn is not a dog person. Zayn does not understand dogs. He doesn’t know why they do what they do.

Yet here he is, at the doors of the Allegheny Dog Rescue, staring in at an odd dog and a blue eyed boy.

🎄Snow on the beach by @onlythesweet / onlytheclouds for @larryatendoftheday

Larry, G, 9K

Louis Tomlinson is a busy man.

When he travels to his mother's new smalltown for Christmas, nothing goes as planned. He's starting to think he might be cursed…

I share this list not to say that these fics are better than the rest (although I think they're amazing), but to share ones that left a mark on me.

(M, 14k, Louis/Niall) Louis growls and lunges at the slayer without warning. Niall easily deflects her, though, then grabs the collar of Louis’ leather coat with her unnaturally strong grip and throws her back into the wall where she came from.

Harry/Louis/OMC | 5k | Explicit | Voyeurism

He turned his head back around, and a growl got out of his mouth. “Don’t touch me.” “You can suck my dick, you fucker.” The man raised his voice, and Harry could see Andrew flinch. “Can I watch?” Or, Harry never thought a horrible encounter would lead to some hot loving from his boyfriends.

Part 5 of the For My Lovers series

I've published my first fic after not writing for almost ten years in September. Never would've believed I'd have twelve stories and some 90k words by the end of 2022.

So, I thought I'd make a little list of all my works this year (tbh this has been sitting in my drafts for a while, but I figured the end of the year would be a good time to post this.)

Once again, thank you so much @liberty-barnes for enduring my crazy writing schedule and all the last minute beta-ing you've had to do.

But We Could Be So Good  (Mature, Harry/Draco, 12k)

When Harry assigned himself to be the Malfoy family’s probationary Auror, he hadn’t anticipated he would sneak into the Malfoy Manor library, play endless games of chess, or buy an entire roomful of magical plants. And he certainly hadn’t anticipated falling in love.

This Beautiful Fantastic (Not Rated, Harry/Draco, 2k)

On the naughty list tonight

Written by @lunarheslwt

“I’m sorry!” Harry pleaded, distressed as he came closer, “I try, I really do, you know that”-

And oh, Harry was unravelling into genuine anguish, and Louis had to change track quickly because that wasn’t his intention-

“So greedy, baby. And do you know what happens to greedy boys?”

Harry stopped his babbling, peering at Louis with a little uncertainty, having no doubt caught the way his voice had dipped, the purposeful choice of words, the way he was taking up space on the couch.

“What?” he asked nonetheless, voice just above a whisper.

“Greedy boys get punished.”

Or, Harry has a little bad habit- he peeks at gifts early because he is too impatient to wait to open them. Louis is determined to catch him this time, and show him that actions have consequences.
