A fic rec of One Direction fics that involve one of the main characters as a tutor as requested in a dm. If you enjoy the fics, please leave kudos and comments for the writers! You can find my other recs here. Happy reading!
📓 Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Can't Lose by dolce_piccante
(M, 112k, uni) A bet about the pair, who might be more similar than they originally thought, brings them together. Shakespeare, ballet, Disney, football, library chats, running, accidental spooning, Daredevil and Domino’s Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end?
📓 You're An Asshole (But I Love You) by theboyfriendstagram
(E, 85k, uni) College AU where Harry studies law and psychology. Louis is a philophobic frat boy who’s majoring in acting, plays footie and needs tutoring in psychology. Of course they hate each other but that doesn’t stop them from having a ridiculous amount of sexual tension.
📓 far away for far too long by alwaysinmy
(M, 46k, uni) the one where Louis needs to prove to the Gay-Straight Alliance Club that he isn’t the homophobic guy they think he is and the only way to do that is to get his ex-best mate, Harry Styles, to be his fake boyfriend.
📓 Got It Backwards by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo
(M, 45k, uni) the one where Louis and Harry are having a baby and Louis is afraid that he isn’t ready, until he remembers how he and Harry first fell in love.
📓 That Howling Infinite by @sweettartine
(E, 27k, uni) When Louis struggles in the literature class he needs to pass to graduate, his professor assigns him a tutor. A cute tutor. A cute tutor with a boyfriend.
📓 But Now Together, We're Alone by QuickedWeen / @becomeawendybird
(M, 22k, royal) It's a stroke of good luck when Harry Styles, a man who grew up on the small island of Martinique, is offered the position of tutor to the Dauphin and his sister.
📓 Cool Cats by @fallinglikethis
(T, 16k, high school) “Whatever jokes or insults you’re gonna say. Let’s just get them over with now and out of the way,” Marcel says. The blue-eyed cutie just sits there, staring. Or Sometimes, Marcel can have nice things.
📓 wanna wake up with you and say baby let's do it all over again by @alwaysxlarrie
(M, 16k, uni) “Of course.” Harry rolled his eyes. “So, what’s the thing?” “Your service,” Niall flailed his hands in the air for a few seconds, “thing.” “My service,” Harry paused to mimic Niall’s hand movements, “thing?” “Yes.”
📓 An Ever-Fixed Mark by @larryandgaystuff
(M, 16k, uni) Louis has zero chance of passing Literature. At least without a tutor who knows Shakespeare well enough to recite it as if those words were his own. And he finds just that, and a lot more, in Marcel.
📓 you know it ain't fiction, just a natural fact by anditsonlyforthebrave
(NR, 13k, uni) Harry is the golden boy of the college football's team, Louis is their professors' golden student and they definitely don't have anything in common. Falling in love would be dumb.
📓 Who are you and what have you done with Harry? by orphan_account
(NR, 13k, high school) Louis needs help with his French and Harry tutors him. Harry is kind of the geek at school, but when Louis surprises him on Saturday, just when Harry's gotten up, he sees some unexpected things.
📓 Letting You In by Chelsea Frew / @chelsea-frew
(T, 12k, uni) Harry Styles begins university with a big secret--he has a baby daughter he is caring for all by himself. When Harry's grades begin to slip, fellow student Louis Tomlinson offers to help. As Louis begins to become a integral part of Harry's life, Harry has to decide whether to let Louis go or let him in on his secret.
📓 Oblivious by louloubaby92 / @louloubabys1992
(T, 11k, uni) They both need the money and while Louis is on a full footie scholarship, he also cannot afford to let his grades slip up or else he won’t get to play. They’re just a disaster waiting to happen.
📓 Sun-kissed Hurricane, Perfect Storm by iwillpaintasongforlou / @canonlarry
(T, 7k, high school) Harry is the quiet kid in the back of his statistics class who writes a lot and dreams about Louis’ cheekbones . Louis needs a statistics tutor ASAP before he flunks and the quiet kid in the back of the class seems like a good choice.
📓 No Constraints by @lululawrence
(NR, 863 words, Louis/Greg James) Louis is really not understanding this particular section of his Vector Calculus course, and his tutor doesn't seem to get what Louis is having a hard time with. Until he does.
