🏖️ Escapade by dolce_piccante
(M, 146k, fake relationship) In the grand scheme of things, finding a date for a wedding should be no problem for Louis Tomlinson. 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.
🏖️ Into The Blue by @zarah5
(E, 117k, scuba diving) In which Louis is Harry's scuba instructor and quite happy to provide the requested special treatment, pun fully intended. It can't be all that difficult to convince Harry that they're on the same page, right? Also, Niall and Liam may or may not be dating, and Zayn is surrounded by emotionally stunted idiots. He bears it with dignity.
🏖️ Perfect Storm by @cherrystreet
(E, 80k, exes) What do you do when your best friend asks you and your (now) ex to be the best men at his destination wedding? You can either tell him the truth, tell him you’re not together anymore, and deal with the consequences, or you can pretend you’re still together and roll with it, just pray you don’t spiral.
🏖️ your memory over me by @shimmeringevil
(E, 63k, exes) The worst heartbreak of Louis’ life walks right back into it when his parents invite their family friends on an all-expenses-paid trip for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Facing a past that he tried to bury long ago, Louis learns that some people have a way of sticking with you even when they’re gone.
🏖️ Falling For Me Won't Be A Mistake by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings
(M, 58k, mpreg) Harry is married to his job and so overworked that he doesn't know how to stop. All it takes is a forced Hawaiian get-a-away, the warm tropical breeze of the island, and the most beautiful, elusive man he's ever seen to make him remember what living is like outside of work. Well, that, and the little souvenir he accidentally takes home with him.
🏖️ Full Moon Dreaming by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom
(E, 43k, soulmates) Every month, Full Moon Dreaming reveals a person’s soulmate. Sometimes it’s an object or a place, or for the lucky ones, the love of their life. Louis has given up hope of dreaming of a person, resigned to living a life devoid of that kind of all-consuming love for another and receiving the same in return.
🏖️ Found My Hallelujah by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel
(E, 34k, cruise) As an engagement gift from his parents, Harry and his fiance receive an all expenses paid cruise trip for two. But one week before they're set to sail, Harry walks in on his fiance cheating on him. Newly single, with the cruise tickets in hand, and his bags already packed, Harry brings along his sister instead.
🏖️ Has the Ocean Lost Its Way by @kingsofeverything
(E, 28k, surfing) Louis and Liam are professional surfers who have been traveling the world together for years. Louis wonders if his nomadic lifestyle will keep him single indefinitely or if there’s someone out there who’ll fit in with his little makeshift family.
🏖️ walk on the ocean by Awriterwrites / @a-writerwrites
(E, 26k, surfing) Harry is an on the rise rock star. Louis is as far from the music scene as a famous producer's son can get. They meet and everything changes.
🏖️ Something To Remember by @parmahamlarrie
(T, 25k, soulmates) Will a trip to Maui’s most exclusive and private resort bring these two soulmates together, or will their bodies be constant reminders of what they missed out on?
🏖️ smell the sea, feel the sky by lightswoodmagic / @lightwoodsmagic
(E, 16k, friends to lovers) Louis doesn't know how he's going to spend a week with the one person he wants and can't have. Harry proves him wrong.
🏖️ The way you smile by @allwaswell16
(E, 9k, strangers to lovers) Harry doesn’t need to go on holiday. Unfortunately, his mum and sister disagree, which is how he ends up alone on holiday in the Caribbean. Luckily, he's not alone for long.
🏖️ It's A Never-Ending Helter-Skelter by runaway_train / @runaway-train-works
(T, 8k, strangers to lovers) The one where Harry winds up on a desert island with a bunch of circus performers and it might just be the best thing that's ever happened to him.
🏖️ no better place than right by your side by velvetnoodle
(M, 5k, meet cute) louis' in the maldives for a friends destination wedding when he meets harry at the reception. they agree to a no-strings-attached hook up: no last names, no phone numbers, no personal info, and no promises. only, the universe has other ideas.
🏖️ baby, in the summertime by EmmyLouWho
(T, 4k, lifeguard) Louis and Liam both immediately turn to their left, and squint out into the surf. After scanning the waves for a few seconds, Louis spots a guy bobbing around quite a way away from the shore.
🏖️ Untamed Hearts by Layne Faire / @laynefaire
(E, 68k, Zayn/Liam) It could have been the heat of the summer sun; it might have been the silvered sheen of an early harvest moon. If he dug deep enough, Liam could find every reason ever needed to explain away what happened.
🏖️ A True Love of Mine by myownspark / @myownsparknow
(T, 2k, Niall/Shawn Mendes) Niall's peaceful afternoon at the beach with Shawn is interrupted by a group of strangers. One man in particular reminds him of someone special from long ago.
