1. Pieces of You by JamieJam93 [M, 282.4k]

A Larry/Niam story in which Louis is a famous pop star, Liam is the back-up dancer who sleeps with people like it's a game, Niall is the back-up dancer who falls hopelessly in love with Liam, Harry is the back-up dancer that Louis loves through all of his body image issues and eating disorders and Zayn is the back-up dancer who do 

2. Love Endless (The Road to Recollection) by @wubwubnparmaham [M, 171.7k]

[…] After discovering the mansion was less abandoned than he’d thought, he’s now left with the most riveting mystery of a lifetime; every new finding leaving him with more questions. Who is this elusive owner, and why won’t they show themselves? Why is there a set of journals in the same handwriting that span over centuries? Why in the world is there a padlock on the refrigerator…and who the hell is Alexander? Part 1 of Love Endless trilogy

3. so let’s cross the lines we lost by @thecoloursneverfade [E, 165.2k]

Louis lives a not so quiet life on a not so quiet street. Starting university was supposed to be easy, that is, until he realises his new neighbour is Harry Styles, and they kind of hate each other, so falling for him is definitely out of the question. (or: Harry and Louis have a complicated past, Niall throws too many parties, Zayn is definitely not pining, and Liam just wants everyone to get along)

4. Vulnerable Facade by caballero78 [E, 148.5k]

“Bad choice of words or slip of the tongue?” “Bad choice of words, honestly. What I meant was, all this time you’ve never suspected him of anything even close to violence- associating Harry with anger would probably be like associating a kitten with mass murder right?” […]

5. Motel Tropics by WORLDLWT [?, 100.1k]

Louis is a French prostitute and Harry is rich enough to buy him for the rest of his life.
