Louis with 'Chef en proceso' Isaias Espinoza 15/5/26

If I promise you can break me (won't you love me like you hate me) [Zouiam, A/B/O, 6K, E]

Zayn’s fingers are shaky as he sets up the camera, his heart pounding when he pulls up the website, the account that’s been created for him. He slips a mask in place before he logs in, sneaking one last look towards the bed and all the toys that are waiting for him on it.

No matter how many times he does this, there’s still a moment of hesitation. Of trepidation, swirling low in his belly. He always has to steady himself with a deep breath, before he clicks on the deceptively small button on his page.

STREAMING LIVE! The page warns him, and Zayn allows himself another slow breath out as his room comes into focus on camera, as the first of his subscribers come flooding into the chatbox.

Love The Way You Wear On Me by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28

Pairing: Harry/Louis (strangers to lovers)

Rating: Explicit (5.5K)

Written for @wankersday 2026!

“No offense Li, but I photograph athletes. Not entitled pop stars that think they can buy their way into every room.”

He’d been trying to keep the disdain out of his voice, but he’s pretty sure he failed, if the look on Liam’s face is anything to go by.

Liam raises a challenging brow. “Well that’s perfect, because Harry Styles just ran a sub-three marathon last spring in Berlin.”

Louis knows the surprise is probably clear on his face. “Really?”

(Or the one where Louis Tomlinson is a popular photographer for Runner’s World magazine. He’s less than thrilled when he gets assigned to shoot a cover piece with international pop star turned marathoner: Harry Styles. It turns out to go better than he’d expected).

Title from Fashion by The Royal Concept

Harry tilts his head to the side. “How do you want me?”

With your arse up.

Louis bites his lip. “Oh um, your choice.” He gestures at the empty road in front of them. “Whatever feels right.”

Harry grins, and Louis doesn’t miss what looks distinctly like mischief sparkling in his impossibly green eyes.

“Got it.”

He walks confidently into the middle of the road, making sure he’s positioned square in front of Louis’ camera, before turning his back fully to the lens.

He glances over his shoulder then, smiling coyly. “It felt good earlier when you told me to stretch. Think I might do a bit more of that.”

Before Louis can even begin to formulate a response, Harry turns his back to Louis again.

And then he just fully bends over, wrapping his hands around his ankles as if it’s the easiest thing in the world. His perfectly toned arse in those obscenely tight shorts, fully on display for both Louis and the camera.

Louis isn’t taking any pictures though, he’s pretty sure he’s lost all motor function at this point.

Apparently, he’s been rendered completely useless by a pretty boy going arse up for him.

- Louis / Harry -

🌼 Another Second Closer to You by @jooles999

(E, 28k, enemies to lovers) Harry and Louis are both Police Officers who despise each other after sleeping together months ago. Every interaction is a competition of escalating hate filled insults until one night when they end up handcuffed together abandoned in a deserted warehouse with no means of escape.

🌼 Send Me Under by larry_hiatus / @emilarry

(E, 26k, bdsm) Nothing is going right in Louis’ life lately. Louis is in desperate need for the one thing he never allows himself to have. He hasn’t seen Harry in months, but for the right price, Harry can help Louis let go and get him where he needs to be.

(M, 8k, dystopian) He scrunches his eyes shut even tighter, as though that can keep the horrible truth at bay. He doesn’t have to be different, he tells himself. He can just ignore- “Hello?” Shut up, he thinks. This isn’t real. You’re not real. This isn’t happening. “I’m sorry you feel that way,” the voice in his head whispers.

🌼 Protecting The Spark by BeamyK112

Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust by reminiscingintherain

Harry first visited Disneyland Paris in 2002 with his Mum and big sister. 24 years later, he's a qualified and hardworking social worker, who happens to have a highly successful side job as a Disney influencer. When a birthday holiday, staying in the exceptional (and highly expensive!) Disneyland Hotel leads to a meet and greet with Peter Pan (and a meet cute for his handler), where can this possibly go? (Maybe, if he's lucky, the second star to the right, and straight on til morning, all the way to Neverland?)

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.

Conversations In Bus Back Seats

by homosociallyyours 9k, Gen, Girl Direction

It's 2007, and if you want to get from New York City to Boston and back again, the cheapest way to do it is to take a bus from one city's Chinatown to the other. The Fung Wah Bus is fast and affordable, and only sometimes dangerous.

When Louis gets the chance to sit next to the woman she's been crushing on who also takes the bus regularly, she isn't sure how the three to four hour trip will go. One harrowing (slightly extended) trip is enough to make her realize she might've found The One.

Life might have other plans for her.
