Hi, anon! Love that you wanted to bring this back! And I especially love that you want hidden gems! If you don't know about this, here is the link from my masterpost as I happen to be the one who gathered up the links lol:

🌸 Prison Binder Fics (Official list)

The official list had 23 fics, so I'm going to go with that number for your challenge, if that's okay. And I'm keeping with a Louis/Harry pairing in the spirit of the original list.

Also, I just want to give the short version of the story of this absolute legend of a person for anyone who wasn't around back then or hasn't heard about this...

iknowplacesmp6 aka Na'ama was a 19 year old (at the time) Israeli woman who ran a humorous Taylor Swift update account on twitter called LegitTayUpdates. She spent time in prison for refusing to enlist in the IDF. She went viral after she was released for her tweets regarding why her update account had been quiet (she was in prison) and her anti-Zionist views. Read articles about her here and here .

While Na'ama was in prison, she saw a binder of contraband fanfics that was passed around, and it turns out they were Larry fanfics that a fellow prisoner's sister had sneaked in for her. Na'ama tweeted about the binder and ended up getting the list of fics for us.

And now for my list in no particular order:

To keep this going I invite anyone who sees this to make a list of 23 hidden gem fics (or less if you can't come up with 23)! If we get enough lists, I'd love to make a masterpost of all the rec lists! So please dm it to me or tag me in your list! Going to also tag some fic reccers off the top of my head who might want to join in!
