Sunny with a sprinkle of chaos

Louis was wearing ACNE STUDIOS at the How Did We Get Here? tour in Nashville (June 29th, 2026)

ACNE STUDIOS COTTON JERSEY T-SHIRT

Hi, anon, here are some recs for you!

Tainted Love by Darling28 / @darling-28

Broken awards, cut-up blouses, childish pranks and lots of nastiness? This is apparently all that remains of Louis and Harry after a sudden break-up and they walk a fine line between love, revenge and jealousy.

Will the two find their way back to each other or are they both too hurt?

Written for the BL Fic Fest 2023

Prompt 4: Exes to Lovers AU where Harry and Louis are celebrities who have had a bitter breakup and they write songs/post shady captions to rile each other up. Louis says in an interview that he has moved on from dating pop stars to football players because they have better stamina.

Be My Mistake by lanallite1D / @lanallite

Louis swears he’s done with Harry Styles.

He’s said it before—after the screaming fights, the slammed doors, the texts he knows he shouldn’t answer but always does. It’s just sex, he tells himself. It doesn’t mean anything.

But with Harry, it always means something. Getting over him was never going to be easy, not after nearly two great years together, a breakup that was loud and messy, and a crater left in the middle of their friend group. And definitely not when Harry still looks at him like he still belongs to him.

Louis tells his friends it’s over, that it’s just drunken mistakes, that it’s not like that anymore. But Niall, Zayn, and Liam see right through him, because they know that with Harry, it’s always more than that. They tell him to walk away.

Louis knows they’re right. But that doesn’t stop him from going back.

or; inspired by ‘bad idea right?’ by Olivia Rodrigo, Louis and Harry are exes who always seem to end up in bed with each other.

Paper Houses by @allwaswell16

“Who is that?” He hisses.

Zayn holds up a hand to stop Louis from speaking any further.

The voice on the other end of the phone continues. “Then, he saw a photo of him on Insta with his little sister and brother, and he was so gone, dude. He basically demanded that I find Louis for him! And he’s never demanded anything from me ever !”

“Pshhhh, Louis’ been jerking off to Harry for years--”

Louis dives from his place on the couch to sprawl across Zayn’s desk, snatching the phone up. There are loud noises coming from the other end of the phone as Louis shouts into it. “Who is this? Zayn has no idea what he’s talking about--”

Although today is the last day of #PrideMonth, we can always believe #LoveIsLove. Want to share my fic from @1dangstfest which deals with gay awakenings, homophobia, and unsupportive family. Remember who you love should not determine if you are worthy of love. 🫶🌈

'Cause You Were Mine for the Summer

Summary:

He can’t catch his breath; it’s like there’s not enough air around him. He tries to focus on calming down, fighting his head saying to open the door and run. Louis feels Oli rub his back as he looks out the window, the breeze bringing a chill to his face that feels like it’s on fire. When his breathing has become steadier, he shrugs off Oli’s hand and turns to face him. “That was Harry.” Louis practically whispers and he isn’t sure Oli even heard him. He’s just staring at Louis. Oli’s face slowly changes from confusion to shock and Louis sees as soon as it clicks. “Yeah, that Harry.”

What happens when Louis hears Harry on the radio singing about their 'Summer Love'? Memories of 1985 remind Louis about the summer that changed his life, and the lost love he will have to face again.

🍭 You Can Be My White Knight by vixalicious

this is almost everything | E | 8.6k

Snickering to himself, Louis walked further down the aisle. The bus lurched slightly underneath him as it got into motion and he all but fell into the only other open seat. "Oops," he said, righting himself against the awful-fabricked seat. "Hi." Louis looked over to see a guy about his age, slumped down in his seat so his knees were pressed into the one in front of him, with a pair of sunglasses on his face and curls flopping over his forehead. There were shorts high on his thigh, a blob of a tattoo on one of his legs that Louis couldn't quite parse. Still, it startled him for a moment, how attractive he was.
