✰ ‘Tis the Damn Season by @zanniscaramouche | M | 3k

The door will open and he’ll smile wide and genuine at the people who raised him, his teary-eyed mother and rosey-face step-father. He won’t think about the cabin in the woods again until next December.

✰ Just want you for my own by louisisamilf | E | 6k

Taking his phone out of his pocket as he swarms through a small group of students on campus, he looks down to see a text from Niall. The text that reminds him that Niall’s annual pre holiday break party starts in a few hours. Groaning, Louis slides his phone back into his sweatpants and pulls his beanie down further to cover his ears for the cold walk to his dorm.  

We’re excited to announce the Bottom Louis Fic Fest 2022! After the last three incredible years of this fest, we knew there was no doubt that we had to provide another opportunity for talented writers to share more amazing fics with us.

Our goal is for this to be a fun and motivating opportunity for writers, not something burdensome and stressful. We will do whatever we can to help participating writers make it through the fest, but if you have any concerns or want further information before the BLFF begins, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thaaaaank u @thepolourryexpress my sexy baddie queen for tagging me on this!!!!

These are just some wips/ideas out of the top of my head that some i probably won’t pick up for a while but here goes!

Demon!h au

Plumber harry au (prompt 8 from the blff 2020) - possibly abo!

Until dawn au

Royal abo (i keep abandoning her lolol)

Jock/quarterback harry ballet dancer louis college au

Fwb au

Amnesia au

I think that’s about it! I’m sure I’m forgetting some aus in my docs but that’s alright!! My priority right now is the demon!h fic which is turning to be a lot longer and more in depth than i anticipated! Really fun and exciting though so i can’t wait! I’ll be participating in this years blff as well so all these wips will be put on hold until after i’m finished writing! I’m planni on getting the demon au out before the fest starts but if not, i’ll post it when it’d done :D

Keep Me Close (I Need Your Faith)

Somewhere along the way he had fallen in love and in doing so, had broken the one rule he knew he couldn’t come back from. As quickly as he realised, he decided that he must never dare speak it. He resigned himself to loving Draco in silence.

or, a wedding, a whole lot of pining and more than a few broken rules.

Seeing Harry as an actual professor will never get old to Louis as his eyes soak him in. The casual attire of a student-teacher is gone and now Harry’s got on a button up under a sweater vest that both have stripes on it because someone with a face like Harry’s can actually pull that off. His beige trousers ride up high on his waist, loose and wide around the legs like he’s been preferring lately. By the time Louis’ done taking all of him in, he’s got a smile stretched wide across his face, cheekbones feeling like they’re about to burst just from happiness alone.

“Hello Professor Styles.“

or, the one where louis visits harry in portland

happy birthday, @thepolourryexpress​ ! ♡

“These are academic articles,” Harry argues lightly. He runs his hands up and down Louis’ smooth and tan legs, grinning when Louis purrs. “I just want to learn more about you. We’ve only been dating for a few months.”

Louis bites down a smile, warmth filling his belly and a flush coloring his cheeks. Pulling his fluffy black tail around him, he picks off lint and flicks them onto the floor. “Well, then ask me.”

or, the one where harry reads a lot of articles about hybrids and louis is determined to prove them wrong

can’t believe i’m doing this, so look away omg. thank you for tagging me @thepolourryexpress :’)

anyway:

“Oh,” Harry shrugs and goes back to his food, cutting the chicken to small bits before shoving them to his mouth, “He’s fine, I suppose.”

Andy can probably see how high Louis’ eyebrows rose all the way from where he’s sitting with his friends. “Fine?”

“Yep,” the alpha pops the p, too engrossed by his food and looking unbothered by Louis’ gaping mouth. 

“Eat,” he repeats when he looks up and finds the omega staring at him. He sighs and drops his utensils, ringed hands reaching out to pry Louis’ lip from his unforgiving teeth.

The omega immediately goes back to worrying his bottom lip, but winces and drops it when he sees Harry looking pointedly at him. “This is weird,” he says.

“What is?”

“You.” He replies and can’t help but laughs when he sees the alpha’s face. “Why do you always look so confused?”

“Because you always say the most random shit.” He shoots back and sticks his tongue out at Louis. “But I really, really, like it,” he grins before ducking his face and resumes eating.
