fancy seeing you here.

🧡   Of the Earth by @angelichl (24k) Camping AU / Strangers to Lovers 

Harry embarks on a backpacking trip in West Virginia to figure his life out after breaking up with his boyfriend. He meets Louis along the way.

🧡  A Love That Feels This Right by @truthtattoos (13k) Secret Relationship

As always, the classic high-school rumour mill is never completely reliable. Sure, there are those stories that fly around that turn out to be true—like the one about Niall getting with a model at a party a few months ago (which Louis still struggles to believe)—but this ‘rumour’ has so many versions, and none of them are actually right.  

The Sixth Form AU where Louis is the footie team captain, Harry is head boy, and no one at school has any idea that the two of them are in love.

🧡   Nail Me Good by @star55 (6k) Girl Direction 

Harry gets her nails done by the cutest girl in existence, and it’s just her luck that the girl is straight. Harry falls for her anyway.

🧡   Sweet Dreams Are Made of This by @lovehoperomance (29k) Fake/Pretend Relationship / Escort Harry 

Loosely based on The Wedding Date. Inspired by 27 Dresses. Basically, Fake Boyfriend AU with a twist. Louis’ sister is unknowingly getting married to the ex who broke his heart. When faced with the prospect of turning up alone, Louis panics and hires a corporate escort named Harry. General chaos and epic jealousy ensues.

🧡   You get me dizzy by @theboyfriendstagram (26k) Coachella AU / Singer Harry 

Harry is a rockstar headlining two nights at Coachella and Louis is an EDM festival goer who manages to sneak into the VIP area with his best friend. He never expected the plan to actually work but then again, neither did he expect to get irritated and tell off someone who would turn out to be the most expected act of the weekend.

or a festival AU featuring face glitter, shoulder rides, and a lot of sarcastic remarks. (Also inspired by this.)

🧡   I wish that I could let you love me by Cherrie (12k) College AU / Frat Boy Harry 

Could he handle leaving for six months? He asked himself in his head, and soon enough another question followed: could he handle staying, knowing who he would be staying for?

🧡   Leave Your Mark On Me by @fullonlarrie (32k) A/B/O Dynamics / Alpha Louis / Omega Harry 

When Chef Harry Styles’ unbonded Omega designation threatens to derail his career, he does the only thing he can, and goes in search of a black market bond.

🧡   Introvert by Hazzaandloubearforever (29k) Please read the tags

Louis was the suffer-in-silence kid everyone ignored growing up. Often times, Louis wondered what he did to provoke such a response and eventually, as he got older and grew more mature, he tended to ignore the people all the same. Perhaps the reason for the students’ ignorant behavior had something to do with the fact that he just didn’t fit in. Despite the fact that he came from a wealthy family who expected nothing but the best for their firstborn among the rest of the students whose parents expected the same, Louis never rubbed his wealth into other’s faces. 

🧡   Holy by @horsegirlharry (6k) Girl Direction 

She deserves not to be so goddamned put together all the time. Being in the world’s biggest and highest exposure girlband means she’s never seen without a flat stomach, a spray tan, contouring, eyelash extensions, the whole of her body inescapably toned and plucked and waxed so frequently she genuinely forgot what fucking color her own pubes are. Louis wants to eat burgers and smoke weed and be twenty three. She wants to wake up with Harry and spend the whole day in bed fingering each other because they finally don’t have to have goddamn acrylic nails for once. She wants to grow her pubes out. She wants to lounge around in a posh, red-velvet High Hefner robe.

Or, Louis is dressed like a fucking queen, Harry’s begging please.

2018 FIC REC

These are some of the best fics published in 2018. There were so many lovely fics written and not all could be included. These are just some of the ones that stood out this year. Thank you to all of the authors who write so many amazing stories for this fandom to enjoy for free! We all appreciate you. Hope everyone had a great 2018 and here’s to an even greater 2019! 

Saw It In Your Eyes by @taggiecb (15k) Harry Styles counts himself extremely lucky that he has landed such a great roommate. It doesn’t bother him at all that his new roommate is gay. In fact, they get along so well that they have formed an extremely close friendship that takes up pretty much all his free time. When Louis starts bringing a new guy home with him, Harry is surprised by how much it bothers him. Is he not as okay as he thought he was with Louis’ sexuality?

Or the one where Harry is an oblivious walnut.

And then there was love by @sweariwouldnt​ (23k) A crime story in which Louis makes ridiculous jokes about Harry’s bum and loves Ben Winston’s dog; where Harry blushes and may or may not be dark!Harry under the dimples and curls; where the world-famous author sleuth Jessica Fletcher joins One Direction to their music video set.

And how lucky is that, as there seems to be a killer on the loose.

I did this post for 2016 and got a great response! 

I read a lot of fic and the majority of it is larry. I like making lists and I like larry so I thought I’d do some minimal research of the top 25 larry fics published/completed in 2017 in order of least to most kudos (with links). All of these fics are top notch so you should all check them out!

25.) Little Cub by aace1234 (68k)

Harry is head of the underground, he’s ruthless, possessive, feared and powerful.

Louis is a student, his dad works for Harry but Louis has no idea about the underground world.

What happens when Louis Dad causes trouble and Harry kidnaps Louis for revenge.

24.) Resist Everything Except Temptation by @domestic-harry (100k)

The lethargic sound of heels clicking against wood resonated across the sea. Footsteps descended the staircase, every assured step creating a menacing aura as it grew closer. Perspiration gathered along Louis’ palms as the rhythmic sound halted in front of him.

“Captain,” Malik greeted.

Louis watched out of his peripheral as Malik’s boots shuffled back a few steps. Sweat matted the hair along the nape of Louis’ neck as he waited for something to happen. He felt as if a sharp blade was twisting his gut as the silence became tangible. There was a metallic slide of a sword being pulled out of its sheath, the sound startling Louis out of his cocoon of sterile shock. His shoulders jumped as the tip of a blade flattened underneath his jaw. Louis’ distorted reflection stared back at him in the polished metal. Engraved rose petals twisted his appearance as they crawled up the length of the sword. The sword lifted and took Louis’ chin with it.

Standing in front of Louis was Captain Styles.

OR

The one where Louis is the commodore’s son who is forced to become a part of Harry’s crew when he is captured.
