I hope everyone has had a great May so far, and have been enjoying having Harry back! This month has flown by, but I did manage to sit down and read some fics. Hopefully something here will sound interesting to you. Happy reading!
â Don't Jump the Gun by @allwaswell16
Louis/Harry | 100 | NR | Actor Harry, Musician Louis, Meet Cute
Louis does not want to be at a movie premiere after-party. Sometimes being loud pays off.
This was obviously the perfect opener, I don't know what Louis was worrying about!
â Inside My Naked Eye by @allwaswell16
Louis/Harry | 100 | M | Cam Boy Louis, Office Worker Louis, Coworkers
Louis has a secret life, but he's on borrowed time.
This is a nightmare scenario for sure, Louis must be panicking!
â Isn't She Lovely? by @enchantedlandcoffee
Louis/Harry | 312 | G | Kid Fic, Domestic Fluff
"Lou, our jobs revolve around being up at night." Harry chuckled, his voice getting closer signalling to Louis that he'd entered the room.
"Yeah, well apparently I've got dad brain. How could I misplace a football uniform of all things?" Louis groaned before leaning to look through the drawers again.
Or, Louis and Harry as first time parents.
Cute! I love their banter
â Wish Answered by @haztobegood
Louis/Harry | 980 | G | Crack, Angst, Wish Babies
Someday when the time is right, they will really wish hard for a baby of their own.
Ever since he was young, he'd dreamed of performing. Heâs worked hard to get this far in his career, and he loves touring, being on stage, meeting fans. But what if all his success unknowingly came at the loss of his other dreams? Heâs spent many nights lying awake with these questions heâs asked himself a thousand times. It doesn't matter. He knows the answer. The timing is never right. As much as Louis wants it, their wishes never align.
How sweet! If all you gotta do is wish hard enough, it really is a miracle this was the first one. And Harry missed it! He's gonna be livid lol.
â Gotta Feeling by @allwaswell16
Louis/Harry | 2k | T | Tour Guide Louis, Mexico
When Harry's life in Manchester isn't turning out the way he thought it would, he decides to visit his best friend in Mexico City. Maybe Niall can convince him to move halfway around the world.
Cute!! Gotta love an interfering Niall, he knew exactly how to get what he wanted.
â When the Hills Call My Name (You Bring Me Home) by @neondiamond
Louis/Harry | 1.6k | G | Hurt/Comfort, Grief, Established Relationship
Harry finds Louis on one of the hills of their back garden.
Oh this was lovely! I love that Harry knows just how to be there for Louis. Nothing to pushy, just making sure Louis knows he's there and all the small things to keep Jay close.
â Don't Go Anywhere I Can't Follow by @allwaswell16
Louis/Harry | 2.6k | NR | Soulmates AU, Grief/Mourning, Timestamp
Two timestamps for the Limerence verse and inspired by the song Dark To Light
Dark: When Louis visited Liam in the hospital, he had a request that Louis couldn't refuse.
Light: Fate brought two soulmates together as they traveled across Europe. Now, Harry and Louis were ready to celebrate their love with a garden wedding.
I'm fine, I felt like crying today anyway. Absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time, getting to see Louis living his best life and letting the memory of Liam be a part of that.
â living love in slow motion by ashavahishta
Louis/Harry | 2.7k | T | Cuddles, Fluff, Established Relationship
Louis is on a yacht off the coast of Italy when a storm hits. Sheâs thrown into the water and has to swim for cover. Itâs just when she thinks sheâs out of danger that she should worry the most.
Damn that's a lot, intense and slightly creepy in the best way! Harry's pull on Louis, leaving her unwilling to doom her but rather risk herself, yeah this was great.
â just a couple of my cravings by @louandhazaf
Louis/Harry | 3k | G | Summer, Quitting Smoking
Summer's just around the corner and Louis' battling his addictions⌠Cigarettes and Harry Styles.
So cute! One meeting and they're already so smitten. Louis gave up on smoking just for Harry!
â Send Me Your Pillow (The One That You Dream On) by @lesbianiconharrystyles
Louis/Harry | 3.1k | G | Nontraditional Omegaverse, Nesting, Fluff
Harry is embarrassed to realize he's nesting but can't stop stealing Louis' things for his nest.
Short fluffy o/o gaybo drabble with lots of cuddles and softness and sock stealing <3
Gah this was cute! I love Harry being so anxious about his nest while Louis just wants so love him.
â Running Through The Flames by @louandhazaf
Louis/Harry | 3.3k | NR | Exes, Broken Bones, Coach Louis
Louis and Harry broke up fifteen years ago. Louis sees him again in the most unexpected place.
Oooooh! They're so awkward, not knowing how to react to the other after so many years. But look at all this meddling! they just need to clear the air and they're gonna be great together again!
â Scared That My Worst is the Best That Iâve Got by @letthemusicmoveyou28
Louis/Harry | 5.1k | M | Established Relationship, Depression, Anxiety
So while Louisâ proposition is preposterous, itâs also the only compromise his brain seems willing to make at the moment.
Harry slowly raises his head to look at Louis. Heâs standing on the other side of the kitchen, elbow resting casually on the edge of the counter next to the sink. His expression is soft and patient, and thereâs delicate morning sunlight streaming through the kitchen windows behind him, setting his outlined silhouette aglow. He looks like an angel.
An angel in an old oversized adidas jumper with tattoos on his knuckles, but an angel all the same.
Harryâs voice comes out mumbled and much smaller than heâd like, but it is what it is. As Louis always says.
âJust shampoo?â
(Or five times Louis saves Harry from himself, and one time when Louis is the one that needs the saving).
Oh this was lovely! They truly get each other, helping without being pushy. Louis noticing the little things and making sure he's there for Harry.
â where you come in by @sun-lt
Louis/Harry | 5.8k | E | Dom/Sub, Soft Dom Louis, Praise Kink
After a long day, Harry is thrilled to be able to help Louis unwind.
I love soft dom Louis! They really just thrive off each other, with Louis' need to take care of Harry, and Harry's need to please Louis. the perfect combination!
Louis bucked his hips, arching off the couch, moans spilling like honey. âIâm so close already, oh god.â
Harryâs relentless grinding was just the right pace, and his mind was slowly turning into nothing but a pleasure-filled haze, and nothing could stop him from hurtling over the edge soon-
âOh fuck, my cornbread!â
Louis reeled.
âWhaâ-
âMy cornbread. Iâd left it in to bake, remember? I think itâs starting to burn!â
âYou canât be serious, Harold.â
Or, Harry has been baking cornbread for seven days in a row. Louis has no idea whatâs going on, but is ever the sweet and supportive husband. At least their baby, Amelia, seems placated by the bread.
Contrary to popular belief, there is however, a thing such as âtoo much bread.â
This was so sweet! Harry is such a sap, Louis really hit the jackpot.
â Uh oh, itâs Magic (when Iâm with you) by @kingsofeverything
Louis/Harry | 6.9k | E | Magical Realism, Crack, Magic Dick
Everyone Dreams eventually, and everyone's Dream is different, but all Dreams have one thing in common: They send the Dreamer on a Quest to find their Magic.
It's been months since Louis started his Quest to live as a hermit in a cave in the middle of the woods and heâs not about to let some new guy disturb his hermitage.
Magic dicks! This was ridiculous and delightful! I love that they're both so stubborn, thinking the other is ruining their faithed magic acquisition trip, but then one dream makes them reconsider.
âSo, tell me what you want?â The younger boy demanded, and Louisâ mind filled with inappropriate images of Harry. Everything to do with Harry.
âIâŚâ He couldnât think. Could barely breathe, and his dick was so fucking hard in his track pants he didnât know why Harry wasnât pointing it out.
âYouâŚhave to do whatever I say for a whole day.â Louis blurted out.
âDeal.â Harry said without missing a beat, his green eyes shining like the light in The Great Gatsby. His easy agreement had Louis groaning, because Harry already did whatever Louis told him to do.
Or, the one where Harry and Louis challenge each other not to get off to see who will break first.
This was great! They're both so desperate for it, it's a wonder they didn't give in sooner.
â Light & Bound by SwimmingInAChampagneSea
Louis/Harry | 15.6k | E | Christmas Fic, Friends to Lovers, Shibari
It was supposed to be a December getaway for all five of them, but the weather destroyed that plan. It leaves Harry and Louis snowed in alone in a cabin in the woods, a game of dares their only entertainment.
Sounds innocent enough, right? Wrong.
Oh this was a lot of fun! You've gotta imagine this was what Harry was hoping for as he wrote down that dare. Here's hoping they've got a kinky future a head of them!
â Checking Them Out?: How To Use Your Library Science Degree To Get an Alpha by @insightfulinsomniac
Louis/Harry | 19.9k | E | Omegaverse, Librarian Harry, Architect Louis, Strangers to Lovers
When a flirty, attractive alpha patron checks out an entire shelf of literature on omega behavior and omega rights, Harry canât help but wonder why the man is so interested â is he a really attentive partner, or is he just a creep?
It doesnât help that this alpha visits weekly to exchange his books⌠and that he smells absolutely divine.
Whether he likes it or not, Harry has a crush.
This was lovely! I love that Harry falls so fast, and ends up with books in his nest since he's afraid of asking for something of Louis'. And Louis is right there with him, telling Lottie about him and flirting through books!
â if i loved you less by @eulogisemeao3
Louis/Harry | 38.2k | E | Uni AU, Frat Boy Louis, Annoyance to Lovers, Bets
At a party, under the thrill of alcohol and victim to his own hubris, Louis accepts a bet to make a stranger fall in love with him in just one month, or forfeit his position as the soccer teamâs captain forever. When he meets him, Harry Styles: headstrong, fierce, and intolerant of his antics, heâs forced to reconsider everything. Over the course of the month, Louis works endlessly to please the boy. And Harry, whom he used to think was arrogant, patronising, and far too proud, comes to mean more to him than he ever anticipated.
Once content with his small world of soccer practices, parties, and constant non-committal flings, Louis finds that for the first time in his life, he wants more.
Oh this was lovely! I love that Louis falls so hard for Harry so quickly. He might not want to admit it at first, but God. You know he's gonna do everything to make sure that second chance sticks!
â where the spirit meets the bones by @outropeace
Louis/Harry | 64k | E | Omegaverse, Fake Relationship, Hate to Love, Obsessive Harry
When Louis discovers his husband is having an affair that could ruin his future, he recruits the most qualified person he knows to bring him down: Harry Styles, the asshole who's been pining after Louis' husband since university and somehow thinks no one has noticed. Now Harry has to choose between protecting his unrequited love or helping Louis destroy him.
This was a lot of fun! They are both in need of intensive therapy, but they deserve each other. Harry is over the top obsessive, but this Louis deserves someone who puts him and his needs first, and worships the ground he walks on.

"I've seen an incredibly important sign over here that I have to come to... What's your name? Amelia! Where are you from, Amelia? Belgium! Now, off the questions, queries, thoughts that have come on Together, Together so far in this sign section we have got to maybe the most important question that we've had so far. I'd like some focus, attention from you all for a moment, if possible, because Amelia would like to know, her sign says: 'Harry, do you like squirrels?' Now that is the kind of tough cookie journalism that I can be a part of, happy to partake. Do I like squirrels? Amelia, first of all, do you like squirrels? You do, yes! I do! Is that alright? We have a shared enjoyment of squirrels, I like the way they climb on trees, I like the way they jump across trees, I like the way they store their nuts but maybe that's for another time! [...] Now I'm sure in the long list on random items in this song, at one point there was a squirrel that didn't make it.

All the One Direction fics I read and enjoyed in April 2026. For new fics, check out this monthâs fic roundup at @1dmonthlyficroundup! You can find my other fic recs here.
- Louis / Harry -
đ¸ Golden by shaylea
(E, 128k, hurt/comfort) On a rainy night in Auckland in the middle of his world tour, popstar Harry Styles loses his ability to carry on. Instead of continuing to Sydney and the rest of his tour, he seeks sanctuary with Louis Tomlinson, a man with a macadamia nut farm and a mysterious past.
đ¸ You Are The Fever (What A Lovely Way To Burn!) by @yoursolosong
(E, 18k, Omegaverse) Harry is an alpha who realizes heâs also into alphas and wants to be submissive. He battles between his instincts and what he wants.
đ¸ and the dudes are lining up cuz they hear I got swagger by delouisonal
(E, 18k, Chicken Shop Date au) Recently out of a serious long-term relationship, that he swears, was supposed to last for eternity, he isn't even looking for love. But then he comes face to face with him, electric, charming, a little silly and Louis lets himself feel, completely unguarded. Harry Styles, the newest internet sensation going viral for his YouTube show Chicken Shop Date and his dry humour waits for him in the loo at a random party like the light at the end of the tunnel
đ¸ You See The Sky I Can't See by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove
(G, 14k, canon) Louis is an empath. He can sense the emotions of those around him; even manipulate them. But he's still new to his ability, and sometimes it threatens to overwhelm him.Â
đ¸ The unwanted plus one by SweetieR
(M, 14k, Omegaverse) Harry Styles has no time for love. Love was stupid. Harry has his studies, his gym sessions and Louis. His Louis. Which is why he's very strangely confused - and upset, when Louis brings his new "Alpha" to their gym sessions. Again and again. What the hell is wrong with that Omega? (And what is wrong with Harry's inner Alpha?)
đ¸ the styles jar by @ursulalequeen
(NR, 12k, girl direction) running a pub is simple enough: pour drinks, ignore drunkards, and absolutely do not develop a workplace crush on the new waitress who flirts her way out of everything. when one of the aforementioned rules is broken, the styles jar is introduced to restore order
(M, 10k, breakup) The âbird theoryâ is based on Dr Gottmanâs research and ideas about relationships. An attentive partner will respond to their partnerâs bid for attention, say⌠pointing out a bird. When Louis fails this test, it leaves his relationship with Harry up in the air on their way back home from what was meant to be a very special holiday.
đ¸ Paradise By the Dashboard Lights by forthefearless / @forthefearless28
(M, 10k, historical) 80s au where Louis is the popular cool guy, and on Saturdays, he never goes out, he's never home, and none of his friends really know where he is. What no one knows is that on Saturday, the drive-in cinema of the town plays romcoms and there's a beautiful boy with green eyes who works there, but Louis is too shy to ask him out, so he doesn't want anyone to know.
đ¸ Never Letting You Go by tbslonleylwt
(NR, 10k, enemies to lovers) Harry has hated Louis for years, and now they have to spend a week together at their best friends' island wedding. What happens when the maid of honor can't stand the best man? What happens when they interact more than Harry would like? What happens when Harry finds out what actually happened five years ago?
đ¸ Change Your Ticket by juniperlightning / @juniperlightningwrites
(T, 8k, meet cute) Character A misses his flight because Character B, sleepy charming stranger, accidentally spills coffee on his boarding pass. Stuck in the airport together for hours, their banter turns into confessions. Jealousy flares when Character A gets hit on and when they finally part they realize they might not be strangers for long.
đ¸ there's more than one place to call home by cinnamons / @sunbellylou
(E, 8k, neighbors) Deciding to confront the loud guy who lived next door, Harry found himself ringing his doorbell one night. And that decision just may be the best thing that's ever happened to Harry.
đ¸ Barely Just Surviving by Kittenlmc
(M, 7k, exes) "For fucks sake, Harry. I'm not doing this. Please leave. I really need to move on and I can't do that if you keep showing up here.â âSo you want to move on? Just like that? I'm that easy to get over, is that it? Three years of our lives, wasted away!â Harry's tone switches from sad to angry. Louis spits back, âYou broke up with me! You moved out! And no, you aren't easy to get over. But I'm fucking trying!â
đ¸ Skinny Dipping by HalosAngel / @4izhalo
(T, 5k, breakup) Louis and Harry broke up when they went off to different universities, and the distance was too much for them. When they would get together on holidays they fought over stupid jealousy stuff, now it is 6 years later, and they run into each other at âLove UA Latteâ
đ¸ Really got me goin' 'round by Sorn_Alba
(E, 5k, Dom Louis) the one where Harry sends a message to a wrong number and gets the right answer.
đ¸ Bigger Than Me by @silverstuff50
(E, 4k, canon) Louis is a minx at barricade, again. Harry feels some discipline is in order. Series Part 3 of Just Hold On
đ¸ Quick, Come Kiss Me At The Door by galactic_larry / @galacticlarry
(T, 2k, girl direction) With their first wedding anniversary coming up, Louis wants to do something special for her wife, Harry. What happens when she realises that Harry went the more conventional route when choosing her gift, while Louisâ gift is a little more...unusual?
- Rare Pairs -
đ¸ Moments After 2AM by BeamyK112
(NR, 5k, Zayn/Liam) Zayn works at an all-night tattoo parlor; Liam shows up impulsively at 2AM looking to get some ink that represents a fresh start
