Hi sugar. I think I understand what you’re looking for. Hopefully these do the trick!

Talk Dirty To Me by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite (E, 13K) So….dirty talk is one of my favorite things in a fic. And when it’s done well it’s…god, it’s so, so good. And this fic does it so well. It’s simultaneously funny, and tender, and incredibly sexy. Dirty talk, friends to lovers, uni AU…what more could you ask for? Great writing? Yeah, got that too. Go read it!

Our Lives, Non Fiction by @indiaalphawhiskey (E, 114K) this is, quite literally, the best fic I’ve read in years. It’s so well written, clever, funny, emotional, and sexy. Its draw you in immediately and you’ll end up falling in love with these characters before you know it. Don’t miss this one. Marcel is 27 and a virgin.

Makes Perfect by checkthemargins (E, 9K) Because this fic was written in 2014 when no one tagged very much, I am warning you that there’s some discussion of Ha*roline and het sex. Not a huge amount, but if that’s a squick, skip this one. However….Louis in makeup and a skirt and some super smutty “practice” with Harry? Good stuff.

ain't had none like you in a while by istajmaal (E, 12K) Ok, so first of all, read the tags. Don’t read this one if you have an issue with age difference in fics. If that’s not a squick for you, you get to read Harry and Louis traveling back in time to teach younger versions of themselves… a lot. This is one of my favorite authors when it comes to smut and this one has it in spades. There’s an 18K second part to it as well: once i figured it out (baby, it was easy).

trusting things beyond mistake by sarcasticfluentry (E, 10K) This author is always a sure bet for me, and their smut is always super hot. 

smile in slow motion by istajmaal (E, 24K) There’s something sweet and innocent about Harry in this fic, even though a far bit of it takes place in a sex club. Harry offers to help Louis learn how to be a good Dom. What could go wrong?

Pull Me Under by zarah5 (E, 140K) One of the very first fics I read coming into this fandom and wow, what an intro. This author is one of my favorites and everything they write is so good. This one has some of the sexiest smut scenes on top of also being wonderfully paced, and well-written. There’s not a huge amount of the “teaching” in this fic, but what’s there is so hot. Link is to a download.

Good Enough to Eat by objectlesson (E, 7K) This author always does such a good job with depicting young, queer love and the way their characters experience the overwhelm of realizing they’re not straight, realizing the’ve met their Person, pining, and giving in. I love a lot of their fics, but I think this is my favorite of them. (This fic has been deleted. link is to a download)

It’s My Pleasure to Introduce You by istajmaal, LoadedGunn (E, 8K) This is the first part of a two part series in which sex shop owner Louis meets Harry who’s trying to buy his first dildo. Need I say more?

faith in the future world tour

Despite the star-studded lineup on both sides of the field, attention in the stands appears to be entirely focused on Louis. The crowd erupts every time the musician handles the ball which hasn't gone unnoticed by commentators and viewers at home.

Comedian Jason Manford, who is commentating the match, has referenced Louis' popularity on numerous occasions after the audience's cheers drowned out the stadium.

Similarly X, one user said: "At Soccer Aid and every time Louis Tomlinson touches the ball everyone cheers its great."

A second said: "Everyone cheering 10x louder when louis gets the ball is so funny." A third added: "I am cracking up at how every time Louis gets the ball the screams get SO LOUD."

Another said: "The cheers every time Louis has the ball is cracking me up." A final added: "The way it’s never fails to make me smile when the crowd cheer for louis every time he has the ball."
