There's a fear that if my cape is taken, what use am I then?

I'm a constant work in progress, and I can't keep fears at bay And my mind is like a record set up on auto-replay Replay, replay, replay, replay And my mind is like a record set up on auto-replay Replay - Cynthia Erivo Or Louis isn't taking care of himself and self-isolating. Harry tries to find out why. Chaos ensues.

We’re Getting Better With Time by haztobegood

Pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson Rating: T Words: 5k Summary: Hello Harry, this may seem out of the blue, and even weirder if you don’t remember me. We hung out for a few weeks back in the summer of 82. A picture of you showed up on my facebook tonight, I think because we have a few mutual friends on here. I know we haven’t spoken in forty years, but I thought I’d just shoot you a message. I hope you’re doing well. L

Or, the one where Louis is single, Harry is recently divorced, and they reconnect on Facebook forty years after they met.

Just another day on the @1d-library server XD

🔹Do You Have a Reservation? by zmmf / @zaynmaliksmiddlefinger [M, 7k, Zayn/Liam]

Any shift in a restaurant devoid of chaos is probably not a lucrative one —but some are just that extra bit hectic.

Zayn sometimes has to remind himself that with a tight knit crew, you can get through just about anything.

🔹Where Words Fail, Music Speaks by Larry_you_know / @larryyouknow [M, 45k, Louis/Harry]

Louis is a world class violinist. He’s one year over forty, living his best life in New York. One day, he comes to a small town in Connecticut where he inherited a house from his late father. The town looks nice and its people welcome him warmly. The problem is that Louis never knew his father and he doesn’t intend to change anything about it - his father can stuff his last will up his treacherous ass. In a strange coincidence, Louis meets town troubadour Harry, who seems wonderful to him just right until he reveals that Louis’ father was like a dad to him.

Even though Louis tries to convince himself that it shouldn’t - it hurts.

🔹Just Pretend by @kingsofeverything [E, 90k, Harry/Louis]

Louis Tomlinson is a divorced dad who doesn't date. What free time he has, he likes to spend with his teenage daughter, and if he wants to take someone home, he does it when she's spending the weekend with her mom.

Then he meets Harry Styles, another divorced dad with a teenage daughter, who convinces him it’s a good idea to pretend they're dating to keep their kids happy.

🔹honey, honey by @kingsofeverything [NR, 100 words, Louis/Harry]

Poem, drabble.

🔹Monday by @nouies [NR, 2k, Louis/Harry]

A flower shop AU featuring a one-sided feud, puns, and a missing cat.

🔹reckless behaviour by @nouies [E, 13k, Harry/Louis]

Harry is a retired football player looking for a new opportunity. Louis is the image consultant hired to help him find it.

🔹Sore Throat by stretchmybones / @harryslonecurl [E, 864 words, Harry/Louis]

Louis complained about having a sore throat on stage during tour and this is what happened beforehand.

🔹Could Be A Catastrophe by hazzahtomlinson / @itsnotreal [E, 29k, Louis/Harry]

He watched as the other man scrunched up his nose, but slid his hand into Louis' nonetheless. “So, where are we going?”

Louis rolled his eyes at the change in subject. “To get some lunch and then I was hoping I could come back to yours?” He glanced over at the taller man with pleading eyes.

Harry’s eyes widened. “That’s very forward of you.”

Louis eyebrows scrunched before he realized the implication behind his words, “Oh. No. Shit. Sorry. I just meant that I wanted to hang out with your cats.”

Or Louis is one of the two veterinarians in town and somehow gets lucky enough for Harry’s three cats to be his clients.

🔹Drunk On Your Lips by Kikiberoski16 / @larrysballetslippers [E, 4k, Harry/Louis]

“Yeah? I’m Louis, does it ring a bell?” She bowed, it was adorable. Harry could follow her long locks sway as she went down. It was hypnotizing. Harry always envied the girls that could grow their hair to their bra. Louis was one of them, while Harry was forever stuck to her curly bob. When she got up again, Harry witnessed a smirk.

That smirk gave her so many feelings. Harry felt like she had known it for ages, but it hurt for no reason at all. Even worse, it stung, Harry just remembered feeling a sharp pain in her chest. “You know what? It does. I remember not liking you.”

🔹wonder what it's like by eynap / @panye [E, 4k, Niall/Shawn Mendes]

“Did you call up a model to fuck you?” Shawn asks from across the room. “I’ve heard of this happening to my coworkers.”

“No, I tried to use magic to make a copy of you from a magazine I had. Or, like, make the photo come to life. I didn’t mean to…” Niall shakes his head. This is mortifying. “I can send you back, hold on.”

Or, Niall uses his Halloween magic to make photos of the male model he's obsessed with come to life. Instead, he accidentally summons the real-life model, Shawn, to his workroom.

🔹You're The Pumpkin Of My Eye by @faithinwalls369 [G, 4k, Harry/Louis]

Harry and Louis go on a seasonal date, that is sweeter than the confectionery in a trick or treat bucket. It’s filled with sweet snuggles, cute kisses and pumpkin picking.

🔹i wish that i could take you to the stars by me_her_themoon / @dreamersdivin-headfirst [E, 31k, Louis/Harry]

Niall is the director and writer of a stage play and he casts his best friend, Harry, as the star of his new play, “Me, Him, and the Moon,” as a prince who’s mesmerized by the moon. When he meets his sunshine-embodied costar, Louis, who is playing the role of a boy who’s deeply enamored with the stars, he learns more about himself and his relationship with love than ever before.

[also, liam is the makeup artist who loves to gossip and zayn is the costume designer who thinks liam is cute]

🔹Under the Milky Way by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom [E, 11k, Harry/Louis]

Louis had always been a prankster, but being on tour provided him with countless opportunities to hone his skills with silly jokes and games, harmless really, and all in good fun. That was until the night he accidentally ended up in the wrong hotel room and dumped a bucket of iced water over a complete stranger.

Or the one where Louis is a rock star on tour, Harry is a free lance photographer, and drinking red wine under the stars might just be worth the hangover.

🔹Who do you belong to? by @huggieshalo [E, 3k, Louis/Harry]

“I trust you. You’ll take care of me like I take care of you.” Louis said.

And Harry believes him.

Or the one where they switch roles because it’s good to spice things up from time to time

🔹You Can Let it Go by @huggieshalo [M, 8k, Harry/Louis]

An alternative story where Harry is Matilda, who never stayed with Miss Honey and had to leave with his awful family. After years of being closed off, someone shows him that his life doesn't have to stay the way it is…

🔹something to dream about by @disgruntledkittenface [M, 100 words, Louis/Harry]

Louis gives Harry something to dream about while she's gone.

🔹Could We Live With Just A Taste? by @lululawrence [NR, 17k, Louis/Harry/Nick Grimshaw]

“Green eyes…” Louis mused in the living room. “I swear I’ll come up with something that rhymes with that soon enough. I will.”

“Oh god, you’ve been smoking. I wouldn’t have come if I’d known you’d been smoking,” Nick moaned as he turned the corner fully and saw the way Louis was sprawled out on the sofa, his head in Harry’s lap as he poked his fingers into Harry’s dimples.

“Nicholas!” Louis cheered, sitting up. “We’ve not been smoking, but we are a little high. Just a bit. Sit here, sit here. I invited you, which means you’re mine tonight, not Harry’s. Got that?”

Nick looked at Harry with his eyes raised. “Am I usually young Harold’s possession? Here I was thinking I was my own person.”

Both Harry and Louis’ faces scrunched up in looks of distaste causing Niall to laugh.

“Possessive fuckers. Let’s just start the film.”

Or the one where Louis, Harry, and Nick all take awhile to figure things out, but they get there eventually.

🔹Anytime, Everytime by @laynefaire [G, 100 words, Zayn/Liam]

They say confession is good for the soul, but what about the heart? Can it find the right words?

🔹Doin' Somethin' Right by @laynefaire [E, 5k, Zayn/Liam]

Liam is certain he's finally put all the pieces of the puzzle back together. He was back on stage with his boys, doing what he loved, in front of the fans who had never forgotten them. He'd also reunited with Zayn, rekindling the love they'd once thought had been lost forever.

While Liam craved the bright lights and excitement of being on the road, Zayn has eschewed his prior fame, instead choosing a life of relative obscurity as the owner of a vineyard and bed and breakfast in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.

Liam is determined to protect Zayn's privacy at all costs, but some days the separation is harder than others.

Written for the 1D Country Fic Fest, and inspired by the song Must be Doin' Somethin' Right by Billy Currington.

🔹Hair of the Dog by @laynefaire [G, 100 words, Zayn/Liam]

Sometimes, it's the little things that matter most.

🔹More Than a Mic Drop by @haztobegood [E, 7k, Louis/Harry]

“You dropped the mic last night.”

“Oh, yeah. I did.” Louis gives a little shrug. He tucks his hands into the pockets of his baggy grey sweatpants.

“That was really careless.” His tone is very stern, unlike his usual bubbly and helpful voice when he suggests Louis try singing a chorus for the third time as he adjusts the sound mix again. Harry levels him a serious look and suddenly the room feels too hot. “You could have broken the mic and we don’t have a lot of spares.”

🔹under all the summer skies by @orchidsbyjune [G, 4k, Harry/Louis]

“I wait every year for summer, and it is usually good, but it is never as good as that summer I am always waiting for.”

- Martha Gellhorn, Selected Letters of Martha Gellhorn; in a letter to Hortense Flexner and Wincie King.

Or The summers in which Louis was in love.

🔹the scent of love by @orchidsbyjune [T, 3k, Louis/Harry]

“ As a constant, Paris would often wonder what makes someone somebody. They would, as any other, spend a lot of their time just guessing what brings life to someone. They live by the guesswork, and the fun it brings just trying to figure out what keeps them up, what brought them the courage to leave everything behind and see the world out there. ”

— A story of survival, of courage and love.

🔹love letters by @orchidsbyjune [T, 940 words, Louis/Harry]

It’s a love letter.

🔹Driftwood by @justanothershadeofblue [M, 51k, Harry/Louis]

Eroda was all Harry knew. He lived there all his life, but he always knew he was peculiar. He had dreams that go beyond this small, cold, and lonely island. He wanted to leave; he HAD to leave. But that meant leaving Louis...

Harry is a lonely and depressed popstar who sailed out of his hometown on Eroda years ago to chase his dreams. He comes back to the island only to find his shining childhood best friend Louis just as cold and dreary as the island they grew up on.

🔹Dip you in honey by @lunarheslwt [M, 7k, Louis/Harry]

Louis bucked his hips, arching off the couch, moans spilling like honey. “I’m so close already, oh god.” Harry’s relentless grinding was just the right pace, and his mind was slowly turning into nothing but a pleasure-filled haze, and nothing could stop him from hurtling over the edge soon- “Oh fuck, my cornbread!” Louis reeled. “Wha”- “My cornbread. I’d left it in to bake, remember? I think it’s starting to burn!” “You can’t be serious, Harold.”

Or, Harry has been baking cornbread for seven days in a row. Louis has no idea what’s going on, but is ever the sweet and supportive husband. At least their baby, Amelia, seems placated by the bread.

Contrary to popular belief, there is however, a thing such as ‘too much bread.’

Based on a reddit story!

🔹Flirting In a Sushi Restaurant by @littleroverlouis [T, 2k, Louis/Harry]

Bright green eyes slowly blink up at the ceiling and his glossy pink lips are frozen in a small smile. Louis’ eyes trail down from his tattooed collarbones, to his toned chest, and land on the leaf dotted with toro scallion rolls under his rosy nipples. He feels like a bit of a creep hovering a set of tongs over someone’s nipple, but was a sucker for a toro roll. A deep voice startles him as he grabs a second roll. “Big fan of those I see.” Louis jerks his hand back, the roll dropping from the tongs and landing on the model's arm with a dull plop. “Shit, fuck,” Louis stutters. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you. My name's Harry.”

Or sushi model Harry flirts with hungry Louis.

🔹be the artist to my muse by forthetherapy / @forthetherapyy [E, 9k, Harry/Louis]

“I think I’m in love,” Harry says, flopping back to lay on the bench again. Nick sighs and pats Harry on the head. “There, there. You’ll forget him in a day or so.” or harry has been unsuccessfully pining over louis for a while now, he decides to take drastic measures to get the alluring artist to notice him.

🔹When the Dust Settles by @mercurial-madhouse [E, 5k+, wip, Louis/Harry]

Threatened by the power omegas hold, alphas waged a civil war that resulted in the extinction of male omegas. Three centuries on, Louis and his lads risk their lives smuggling the omegas that remain to safety. When Louis proves the impossible to be possible and presents as a male omega, will the quiet rebellion he's worked so hard to create be maintained, or will his newfound abilities destroy all he's fought for?

🔹i am easy to find by safetyfilm / @larrieblr [M, 4k, Harry/Louis]

“Am I bothering you?”

Louis doesn’t have to look up to know who it is, not by the voice. He takes out the final package from the mailbox, a fond grin on his face as he answers, “Love, you could never bother me.” He stacks the package in the crook of his elbow, and looks up, then his smile falls into confusion. “But - wait, you’re supposed to be at work?”

“I finished a meeting, took an early lunch,” is Harry’s excuse, as he comes up by Louis, but not entirely. As if he’d been afraid to touch him.

Louis isn’t one to be observant, but today, now, Harry’s caught his eye, and something tells him to look closer.

Or, where two people try to follow their dreams but time isn't on their side.

🔹gallery of us by @levelofcharm [E, 55k, Louis/Harry]

In spite of wanting to sound lucid and coherent for his own big jump, Harry wants to be near and touch, wants to listen to whatever the omega’s saying because he loves that voice, and he's always hated talking unless he has to. They're a good pair, the two of them, a perfect balance. Louis’ all sunshine, good vibes and healthy eating, lingering hugs and sticky cheek kisses, and Harry's the complete opposite without explanation, but fuck, it feels good to be around someone like that. To have someone like that in his life at all. Harry wants to protect his affectionate ball of light from the world's ignorance, wants to help add to the glow like starting a snowball, rolling it around until it can’t get off the ground because it’s so heavy from all the effort, patience and commitment.

Do you think I’m cool? By SadaVeniren (2.2K)

“Daddy,” Harry whined. “You woke me up and you still haven’t said anything about my outfit. I’ve been waiting all day to hear your thoughts.”

Louis loved when Harry broke and fell into the scene. He broke early and he broke easy. Louis was always able to outlast him. (It was a gift. He knew it was a gift. Harry broke easy because he wanted to give Louis that gift.) “My thoughts on your outfit? Which outfit?” Harry let out another whine but Louis kept his steady voice. He let it match his pacing. “Are you talking about the low rise jeans that showed off your pretty laurels? Do you want to hear how I wanted to get to my knees and press kisses to them?” Harry panted in his ear, and Louis could only imagine he was using everything inside him not to interrupt. “Do you want me to talk about how I’d push your jacket off your shoulders and make my way down your chest before I kneeled? Did you think about me pulling your zipper down and pulling out your soft cock?”

“Daddy,” Harry panted again and Louis listened. The sheets were rustling some more but he didn’t hear the tell tale skin slap that meant Harry had given in and started to jack off. “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“Oh!” Louis made sure his exclamation was as extra as possible. “You mean your performance outfit. The jumpsuit that had your cock bouncing around for everyone to see. That’s the outfit you wanted me to see?”

Aka Louis calls Harry after his Today Show performance to have some words about his outfit choice. Part of my canon compliant BDSM series

WITH LOVE ON THE LINE BY DISGRUNTLEDKITTENFACE​

“I didn’t realize, since you have to get so close to a beta to scent them and I was trying to keep my distance, but it’s kind of like–”

“Apples,” Harry finishes, running the silk under his nose again. “Like a freshly cut apple at the height of fall.”

“Mm, exactly,” Louis agrees, the scent reaching his nose despite Harry’s efforts to hog it. “It blends so well with us, don’t you think? Your floral–”

“Jasmine,” Harry corrects, the way he always does. “Jasmine flower. And your sandalwood and vanilla. How does it go so well?”

“I don’t know,” Louis says, shrugging. “But it does. I think maybe that’s what it would be like. If we were with him.”

Harry and Louis have always been Harry and Louis. Then they meet Nick. A relationship in three snapshots.

MOONSTRUCK BY LHHOME

“Hello, I’m Louis,” he introduces himself to Emma in a raspy voice, putting an arm around Harry’s waist as he does so. Well, that answered Emma’s unvoiced question because she hadn’t been entirely sure about Florence’s intentions when introducing her to Harry. Ever since their breakup last year Florence had introduced them to a lot of people of all genders she wanted to set them up with ignoring their talk of being happily single.

Harry is just trying to figure himself out, Louis just wants to help his long-term partner but doesn't know how and Emma's best friend Florence just might claim she is a matchmaker.

I LIKE DIFFERENT PLACES (NOBODY CALLS IT A SIN) BY YESISAWORLD

Louis' hands shot up in front of him, like it would prove his innocence. “Gem, I swear, it’s not what you think.” He knew what that sounded like, but it was true, even if he couldn’t follow it up with the whole truth of the situation. Gemma was like family to him, but she was Harry’s actual family, and the rage in her eyes broke Louis’ heart. That after everything they’d been through, Gemma thought he was capable of going behind Harry’s back. Or The one where Harry comes out to his family.
