This is War (3.5k) by bellustyles

“You’re telling me Mrs. Greene agreed to a bake sale?” Harry gawked, looking down at the flyers that had it printed over the front. She definitely agreed to a bake sale.

“She sure did! Bake sale will be just after school as the kiddos are leaving. Give them and their parents a chance to get some treats; And once that’s over, it’s war.”

“It’s not war, Louis.” Louis rolled his eyes and looked down towards Harry with a smile.

“Oh sweetcheeks, but it is!” He cooed, squishing Harry’s cheeks between his hands, “Hope you’re wearing your best clothes.” Louis hummed as he let go of Harry’s face and stepped back. Sending Harry a wink Louis was on his way out the door. Harry looked down at the flyers in his hands and sighed.

This was not happening.

Or

hmmm … okay, lets say only band member and not solo singer , right?

- Empty Skies : For three years, Harry has been running from his past. Now, he is moving to London and pledges to fulfil his only dream – making it big in the music industry. Not everyone has a place, though, and the competition is tough. As is his past catching up on him.Louis is part of the biggest boy band of the world, and getting there had meant a lot of hard work, as well as sacrificing parts of his heart and soul. He’s still happy. Maybe not as happy as he could be, but who is he to complain?

- zipping across the stars : One Direction consists of five people; Louis, Zayn, Niall, Liam, and Gemma.

(10k)

- led by your beating heart : AU where Harry’s in One Direction, Louis isn’t, and they reconnect over a game of ‘Call or Delete’. (29k)

- My English Love Affair: The thing about sleeping with a member of a famous indie band is that the inevitability of having a song written about you is most likely a hundred percent. The second thing is that in the end, nobody’s supposed to find out it’s about you. The one where Harry writes a song about his English love affair and Louis sleeps with someone in White Eskimo and all he gets is a stupid song written about him. (19k)

- Thought The Song Was Sung :Louis never auditioned for the X-Factor.  Years later, Harry’s just another gay ex-boybander who lives alone with his cat…  until Niall decides to take matters into his own hands and set up a profile for Harry on a dating website. (12k)

- California Sold    :Notoriously closeted boyband member Harry Styles is famous on a global scale, meanwhile Louis, as his best friend, is back home in Manchester, living the typical life of a 24 year old.

- Of Love and Blood and Hate:   “You auditioned without me,” Louis says, his voice disbelieving. “How the fuck can you stand there and hurl all this shit at me when you literally left me behind to go audition for the show we’d been dreaming of being on together?”  “What was I supposed to do, Louis? You refused to audition with me unless we were honest about being a couple. I knew we never would have made it past the first auditions. You left me no other choice; it was either audition alone or not audition at all.“  Louis feels his own eyes start to fill with tears. “You chose a fucking reality show over our relationship. If you still don’t see that you made the wrong choice than I don’t think there’s any reason for me to waste another second here.”A Famous/Non-Famous turned Famous/Famous AU where Harry makes the biggest mistake of his life and Louis’ left to pick up the pieces.

Harry’s a closeted pop star and Louis is the uni student he keeps fighting with on Twitter. It’s all silly banter until it turns into something else. (31k)

- the impossible now :: A wish on Christmas Eve sends Louis to an alternate dimension where Harry is a member of One Direction. (50k)

- you’ve set on me : Harry’s been completely blindsided, is the thing. Like a car without headlights crashing into him. It’s not that he thought he’d never see Louis again in his life. It’s just this. He wasn’t ready for this.au. louis’ in an obscure band. harry’s an international popstar. their paths aren’t meant to cross, not like this, but when louis’ band signs on as harry’s opening act, both harry and louis are forced to confront the open wounds of their shared past.

Welcome to HL Christmas Time Fanfiction Exchange

I hope I’m not the only person who loves the atmosphere of Christmas, the family warmth, happiness in the air and kindness all around. There’s not enough fics of Harry and Louis in that beautiful, magical time of the year which is Christmas, and following it New Year’s Eve, and I made this exchange to change it. Hope you’re as excited about this exchange as I am.

Few rules

Harry and Louis must be your main pairing. Other side pairings are more than welcome though.

You must send in at least two prompts, so writers have at least little choice of what they would prefer to write. You can send to 5 prompts if you only want.

Every prompt has to have something to do with Christmas or New Year if someone doesn’t celebrate Christmas. It doesn’t have to be a main thing about the story, but the plot has to happen around Christmas time or New Year’s Eve and it would be nice if it was noticeable at least in some details, so it fits in that time of a year (like Christmas songs in the radio, light on the trees in the park and so on).

The minimal word count for a fic is 3000 words.

Be specific in letting us know what you won’t, can’t or suck at writing and what you like and want to write. It’s going to be much easier to assigns prompts and there’s a much bigger chance you get prompts you might actually really like.

You need a beta for your fic, so it doesn’t have any grammar or spelling mistakes for sure. If you have someone who was doing that for you earlier or know someone who would help you with that that’s great, but if you don’t we will help you find someone.

Let me know if you need more time to write your fic or when you’re dropping out. You get three months to write but I understand that things sometimes doesn’t work as we want it to and when the deadline is getting closer you don’t have anything written. There shouldn’t be any problems with getting an extension, but please let me know about it.

Do you want to help?

That’s amazing! You can be a beta reader, pinch-hitter or britpicker. All you need to  do is to fill in this form.

If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask.

And last thing:
