“Anyways,” Louis stresses, narrowing his eyes, “just let me say it and then rate how terrible of an idea it is on a scale from one to ten.”

“Alright,” Zayn agrees, sitting up expectantly. 

“I want to ask Harry Styles to take my virginity,” Louis blurts, holding his hands out for emphasis. 

The way Zayn’s eyes bulge is almost comical. “Negative infinity,” he says, voice choked. “Negative infinity times negative infinity.”

“Technically, a negative times a negative is -”

“Really negative infinity,” Zayn corrects himself, shaking his head wildly. “Louis, what the fuck?”

Or, Louis wants to have sex with someone and decides Harry is the perfect alpha for the job.

We’ve Been Here Before • yourpricelessadvice

“Harry, you’re forty-four for Christ sake! Our twenty year old has literally just moved out! Are you hearing yourself right now, love? Why would this be the first place your brain goes to?”

Harry doesn’t really know anything anymore. “I don’t know, alright?! I just had a feeling! I mean…”

“What?”

“It sort of fits?” Harry says sheepishly. “That night… around the time Emmie left. That was about six weeks ago, and I’ve been feeling sick, and tired. It would… make sense.”

“Harry, nothing you’re saying right now makes sense!” Louis laughs. “We’re a couple of old blokes in our mid-forties, we’re parents of people in their twenties! Even if I thought for one minute that there was any chance you were knocked up, I really can’t see how you’re being so calm about this!”

“Would you not be happy?” Harry asks, feeling a lump swell in his throat. “I thought you’d be happy!”

“Harry!” Louis yells again. “I’m not not happy, but love; you’re getting carried away here! There isn’t even anything to be happy over yet, remember? Don’t get carried away, love.”

“What do we do?” Harry asks. “I don’t know what to do, Lou. Do I test? Do I just ignore it and hope it goes away? What if I am pregnant and we don’t test and I do something to hurt the baby? Or what if I’m not pregnant and we test and it’s negative and I…”

“You what, babe?” Louis asks quietly.

Harry swallows around the firm mass that has now moved up his throat and into his mouth. “I really want this baby, Lou. I never realised it until today, but I really, really want this. I love them already. They might not even exist but I love them already. What the hell is wrong with me?”

Louis smiles softly. “Nothing’s wrong with you, babe. How about… how about we test? Put your mind at ease either way?”

Harry peers up at Louis through teary eyes that he truly hadn’t been expecting. “Really?”

“Yes, really.” Louis grins. “I’ll be by your side, no matter what.”

Small town restaurateur Louis Tomlinson needs someone competent to work in his kitchen.

Chef Harry Styles needs a job.

Wolf Boy (Like No One Else) by @cristalrush

Pairing(s): Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson Rating: Explicit Words: around 60k when finished Chapters: 2/15  Status: WIP (new chapter every Tuesday)

Summary: Harry turned his head and smelt the pillow. He was slowly waking up but didn’t want to. He wanted to stay asleep and keep smelling that scent. He was certain it was only made up by his brain because nothing could smell like that. So good and relaxing but at the same time exciting and new. He tucked the soft blanket higher up, so he could hide under the covers for a while longer. His aunt would come soon and wake him up.. Except… no, Marie was not coming to wake him up. He wasn’t at home. He was somewhere he didn’t even know, sleeping in someone else’s cabin and this wasn’t his bed. 

Harry sat up fast, the blanket falling down on his lap. Harry looked around the room and saw a boy in front of him, sleeping in an armchair with a baseball bat next to him. And that was when Harry screamed. Or the one where Harry leaves his old pack in hopes to find his soulmate. And that’s when he meets Louis, an alpha who doesn’t believe in soulmates.

“We have to get out of here, outside,” he whispered, turning his hand in Louis’s grip to hold on, preparing to pull them both to their feet. “And how do we fucking do that?” Louis hissed, carefully rising and pulling Harry to his feet before Harry could do it, glancing towards the front and back of the arena. “None of the doors are where they’re supposed to be.” “What?” Harry looked around again too, couldn’t see any doors, only knew that they must be there, somewhere. “How do you know?” Louis looked confused by his question. “Because we’ve been here before, Haz. It’s the O2.” The show. It must be the first night of their tour. They were too late; they had no time.

Louis somehow ends up getting cursed after a night out with the lads and the five have just three days to figure out what happened and how to break the curse before Harry and Louis both lose their sanity and maybe something more.

Because Louis can hear everything Harry thinks and Harry isn’t sure he’ll be able to keep his feelings for Louis a secret from his own mind for very long.

Featuring ridiculous amounts of banter and angst, a lot of Harry and Louis time alone together, a healthy dose of OT5 friendship, and one very magical weekend.

1) The epilogue has finally been added. Please please be aware that the rating has changed from mature to explicit!

2) I have been told by several readers to include this warning: “Do not read this fic in the evening if you’d like to sleep that night.” That’s all I shall say.

3) If you have any curiosities or questions about Harry’s final secret, send me a message! I love making new friends and just because it’s a secret from Louis doesn’t mean it’s a secret from the reader.  I guarantee you already know what it means! (This explanation was really hard to write without spoiling anything.)

“Uh Haz?” Louis’ voice calls from the living room. Harry immediately knows there’s something up, without even seeing him. “Can you c’mere love?”

Nauseous is Harry’s default setting as he pushes closed the freezer door and wanders back through to the living room. Louis is up off the sofa and standing just in front of the coffee table looking at his phone with a perplexed look on his face.

“What’s up?” Harry asks, filling quickly with dread as he notices it’s his phone Louis is looking at, not Louis’ own. “Babe?”

“Who’s Isabelle Wright?” Louis asks calmly. Too calmly. Harry is confused though.

“Who?”

“Isabelle Wright,” Louis repeats, his voice not wavering. He looks up at Harry. He’s smiling absently but it’s not a friendly smile. “Who is she, Harry?”

“I don’t know, Lou,” He replies, stepping closer. Louis steps back. “Lou, babe, what’re you doing?”

“Don’t ‘babe’ me, Harry, just tell me who Isabelle Wright is and why she’s messaging you asking to meet up?”

The bottom drops out of Harry’s world then. He really doesn’t know what the hell Louis is talking about and every time Harry tries to get closer Louis moves further away from him. Louis holds out his hand, stopping Harry from getting any closer, and then holds out his other hand with the phone in.

Harry grabs his phone with clammy hands and turns the screen around to focus on the small little grey bubble of text. He can barely make sense of any of it as he reads and re-reads it:

Isabelle Wright: Hi, I hope I’ve got the right Harry Styles. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else on facebook with this name so hopefully this is you. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a call soon, my number is 0791001123. I’d really like to meet up with you. Thanks, Izzy.

Harry’s twenty seven - as of four months ago - and he has got this adulting thing down to a fine art. It’s not that he’s unhappy with his lot; he’s got a decent job and thankfully enough money to do and have fairly nice things, a wonderful partner and a small but close knit family that he obviously loves – but it isn’t exactly exciting.

Life has a funny, funny way of sneaking up on you, though.

Say Something

Louis & Harry | A/B/O | Explicit | 105K Words | On AO3 | Complete

At fifty years old and recently divorced, Omega Harry Styles isn’t interested in dating. When his doctor suggests a heat and rut matching service, he signs up out of necessity. It’s the only use he has for an Alpha in his life.

I didn’t wanna fall (but then I stepped right in).

"'Flowers bloomed when he walked. Angels sang when he talked.' I heard this line way back once in the radio and the first thing that came to my mind was you.”

Louis has no idea that one act of kindness will cause his life to spiral out of control. But that’s what happens when his new friend fake proposes to him and a video of it goes viral.

In a sky full of stars, be my Northern lights

It’s one of those nights there’s nothing on the telly that Louis absently scrolls through Tinder. After swiping left on a bunch of profiles he comes face to face with a picture that stops him in his tracks. The picture is..almost sweet. It’s a boy with brown curly hair, wearing a very low cut yellow blouse, paired with a black jacket. He’s got a smile on his face and his tongue sticking out, but it’s not in any way lewd or suggestive. He just looks like he’s having a good time, and something about the innocence of it has him swiping right rather than left.

He’s barely checked the other pictures on the boy’s profile before Tinder confirms that he’s got a match. The shots are so different from the pictures Louis is used to on Tinder - half naked boys who are smoldering at the camera - that he can’t help but smile.

It quickly turns into a frown when he opens up the message he’s just received.

Harry: Hello!

Harry: Thank you for swiping right

Harry: I have a proposition for you

summary: The first Harry that Louis met was at his third school in as many years, and had shoved Louis’ head into the toilet when he walked into the mens restroom. Some slurs had been used, but the whole incident was kind of blurry thanks to the concussion he got when his head hit the tile floor.

The second Harry was a TSA agent when Louis was sixteen, returning from a trip abroad. The agent had smirked at Louis passport. “Layla, huh? Should think about dressing a little more feminine, no guy is gonna want you looking like that.”

Pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Harry’s alpha fraternity donates to a local thrift shop (because of Liam’s latent crush on a cute beta in his lecture). Louis’ financial situation (and confusing omega instincts) lead him to make some interesting fashion purchases. Lots of pizza, feelings, and not-really-lying.

When Louis’ daughter presents him with a Christmas gift far beyond the price range of a four year old, he jumps to the worst of conclusions. He’s pleasantly surprised when he finds out how she isn’t as naughty as he thought she was, and who came to her rescue…

I Just Want You to Stay by SadaVeniren (Rated E - ABO/Friends With Benefits/Fake Relationships)

“Remember the vet job up in Edinburgh I interviewed for right before your rut?” Louis nodded. “She just called me back. I got the job. I start next year.” Harry let out a shriek as he said the word year and he clapped his hands in delight. “Isn’t that great! Full time vet job! New animals to meet! A new environment!” He settled his eyes back on Louis, who was still standing there in front of him with wide eyes. “Isn’t it great, Lou?”

That seemed to jolt Louis out of his thoughts and he nodded immediately, opening his arms up for Harry to dive into. “Holy shit, yes. Congratulations. Come here,” he wrapped his arms around Harry and cuddled him close, pressing his nose into Harry’s neck. “Holy shit,” he whispered.

aka Louis and Harry have been roommates for four years, comfortable in their routine and their relationship. But all of that is about to change.

Episode 3: Talking About Fests, Challenges, & Exchanges

In this episode, we plan to talk about the differences in each, the expectations, pros & cons to each, collaborating with artists during @onedirectionbigbang (including an artist’s take from someone who’s been on both sides), collaborating with artists outside of fests, as well as finding time to write.
