In between of writing something new and managing school and still trying to complete the fic thatâs yet to be completed I decided to make this rec list of the best fics I have read that are long and comforting (majorly ABO) from longest to shortest.

5. Â Soft Hands, Fast Feet, Canât Lose (112k) by dolce_piccante
American Uni AU. Harry Styles is a frat boy football star from the wealthy Styles Family athletic dynasty. A celebrity among football fans, he knows how to play, he knows how to party, and he knows how to fuck (all of which is well known among his legion of admirers).
Louis Tomlinson is a student and an athlete, but his similarities to Harry end there. Intelligent, focused, independent, and completely uninterested in Harryâs charms, Louis is an anomaly in a world ruled by football.
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 Dominoâs Pizza all blend into one big friendship Frappucino, but who will win in the end?

7. Â cherry red and gloomy blue (94k) by petricuor
There was an alpha in his kitchen.
There was an alpha in his kitchen and he was in his panties and he reeked of sweat. Oh my God, he thought, whatâ
Suddenly, their eyes met. A strangled sound came out of Louisâ mouth as he got caught staring, his lips still parted as he scrambled to find something, anything, to say. The alpha preceded him.
âCazzo,â he cussed, the glass he was holding in one of his hands almost slipping from it. He looked as surprised as Louis felt.
Summer had never quite been like this before. Yesâit was still sticky, Diletta was the same as always and Louisâ family estate in the Italian countryside hadnât changed one bit. However, something the young omega wouldâve never expected was for a handsome, Italian alpha to completely turn his life upside downâhopefully for the better.
8. Â A Sea Without Water, A Compass Without Direction. (84k) by loveraging
âTell me, Louis,â Captain Styles said, leaning forward a little. âDâyou think Iâm an idiot?â
âIâwhat?â Louis asked, surprised by the blunt question. He had expected something different, something along the lines of how he learned music, or how he ended up as a prisoner on the other ship.
âDo you think Iâm an idiot?â The captain repeated, putting emphasis on each word as though Louis couldnât understand him otherwise.
âOf course not,â Louis said, shaking his head. Heâd be a fool for thinking such a thing, and an even bigger fool for saying it out loud. âCaptain.â
Captain Styles nodded slowly, leaning back in his chair and folding his hands in his lap. âThen why did you lie to me?â
âOut on the deck. You lied to me,â he said. He held up his hand, three fingers up.
âThree lies total. I hate liars.â

âTomorrow Iâm going to be under all that. He will be inside me, all muscles and rage.â Louis felt his cheeks heat again, but refused to be cowed. So he put his best smirk on display, the one alphas despised to see, the one that assured them all he had the upper hand.

âYou should go home,â Louis muses, and Harry can feel the omega crouch down to become eye level with Harry, poking his cheek with a dainty finger. Harry lifts his arm, taking a peek at Louisâ face. Louis looks tired, he notes, but not exhausted, and thereâs an eyelash stuck to his cheek. Harry doesnât hesitate to lazily reach out and thumb over his cheek.
âCanât,â Harry croaks, blindly twisting his hand around to grab at Louisâ offending finger and just holding it. âCâmere. Take a nap with me,â he asks after a beat, opening an eye to look at Louis.
Louis raises an eyebrow. âMânot going to nap with you in the middle of the ER, H.â
Sighing, Harry squeezes the young nurseâs finger. âNobody cares.â He knows they do; theyâll annoy nurses and probably worry patients when they catch sight of a nurse and surgeon sleeping on the job.
