Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.

💜 You Should Be Here With Me by @lululawrence {NR, 34k}

The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.

Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.

Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.

💜 secrets don't make friends by devilinmybrain / @thedevilinmybrain {E, 30k}

5 times Louis' crew knew too much, and the 1 time they thought they knew, but didn't really. Not at all.

💜 Longing like a Searchlight by Cyantific / @beyondxmeasure {E, 27k}

Louis moves in with his friend Harry and soon thoughts of his new flatmate are anything but innocent, and Louis has no control when it comes to acting on those urges when he's alone. It doesn't take long for his simple, primal impulses to turn into deep, urgent longing the more time they spend together. Will an unexpected family event that takes Harry home for the weekend be the catalyst that finally brings them together or what tears them apart when Louis overhears what Harry reveals to his mother about his true feelings?

Or...

The Five times Louis almost gets caught during a salacious moment of self care and the one time he did...a roommates to lovers fic with lots of feels.

💜 The Future Is Now by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom {E, 16k}

Louis has a great life, really, he does. He studies hard, has great friends, a boring but decent job at the carnival, and of course, he has Harry, the best flatmate anyone could ask for. All that’s missing is someone to love. But when a strange new fortune-telling machine appears at the carnival, Louis’ life takes an unexpected turn. Could this be his chance to finally find love and will it be where he least expects it?

Or the five times Louis follows the fortunes to seek out his true love, and the one time he realises that what he's been searching for might've been right in front of him the whole time.

💜 I Wanna Feel (Your Love) by @infinitelymint {E, 15k}

Five moments in Louis and Harry’s life based on five of the biggest emotions: fear, sadness, love, anger and joy.

Or the one with a little bit of everything, featuring a proposal, a serenade, timid conversation, heated arguments, a misunderstanding, small insecurities, plenty of ‘I love you’-s and a bit of shagging – also bonus (re)appearance of Louis’ Paris!sweater and a pair of banana-patterned socks.

💜 Treat You Like A Gentleman by @justanothershadeofblue {E, 12k}

5 times that Harry Styles was unsatisfied by his dates, and one time Louis Tomlinson helped him find what he had been missing.

💜 love put us two together (but we don't know how to stay) by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {T, 10k}

Harry is Louis' best friend. But in his dreams, they are more. Or: four dreams in which Harry and Louis figure it out, and the one time Louis decides to make his dreams come true.

💜 Today and Every Day by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel {E, 10k}

The five times Louis tries and fails to propose to Harry and the one time he succeeds completely by accident.

💜 Dough Re Mi by anditsonlyforthebrave {NR, 10k}

“Welcome to Dough Re Mi, may I take your order?”

Harry snorts, lips curling in a half-scoff. Who the hell calls a bakery Dough Re Mi? What, did they pull the name out of their asses?

“I’ll just take a scone with cream and jam. Black coffee. Large.” He doesn’t bother looking up from his phone, his thumb flicking aimlessly through his emails.

Or:

5 times Harry calls Louis omega, and the one time he calls him my omega.

💜 Fire and Ice by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf {E, 9k}

Harry really wants to come at the same time as Louis. Or, four times they misfire and the one time they get it right.

💜 haven't you heard by @allwaswell16 {M, 8k}

Harry Styles has been in love with Louis Tomlinson since they were eighteen. After six years together, Harry is ready to propose to the love of his life. The holidays strike him as the perfect time for a romantic proposal, but his well-meaning friends and family (including his self-appointed best friend, Niall) seem to thwart him at every turn.

Or the four times Harry tries to propose, and the one time he gets it right.

💜 Would Walk The Aisle For You by galactic_larry / @galacticlarry {T, 6k}

If Louis had to make a list of all his problems, his mum trying to set him up with every gay man ever would be very close to the top.

What happens when Harry volunteers to be his fake boyfriend just to get her to stop?

Or the five times Louis and Harry pretend to be in love and the one time they realise they actually are.

💜 You Put the Boom Boom Into My Heart by @kingsofeverything {T, 5k}

Harry's been trying all summer to come up with a way to show Louis how much he means to him before he leaves for college.

Or five times Harry fails to win Wham! tickets and one time he succeeds.

💜 Don't Delete The Kisses by @louislittletomlintum {T, 5k}

The first time that Louis realised he was in love with Harry it was with a fag hanging half out of his mouth and staring in through a grubby kitchen window, caked in years of debris.

five times louis is longing and one time he isn't

💜 now i'm tracin' all my steps to you by @alwaysxlarrie {T, 5k}

Of all the things Harry was prepared for this summer, Louis Tomlinson and his wonderful, wonderful scent isn't one of them. It probably shouldn't be as shocking as it is that it makes Harry want to nest. There's only one slight problem -- Harry and nesting aren't exactly on familiar terms. At all.

This does not stop Harry from borrowing ("borrowing") Louis' things all throughout summer, though. Oops?

💜 Let Your Hair Down While You Still Can by @alivingfire {E, 5k}

“Could you, maybe, play with my hair?” Louis can’t see much, but he can feel the rush of heat in Harry’s cheeks when he blushes. “It’s what my mum used to do when I couldn’t sleep.”

“Well, if that’s what Mummy Anne did, who am I to disagree?” Louis teases lightly, then runs his hand slowly through Harry’s hair. It’s still a little sticky from the product the hair team put in before the show, still a little crunchy from dried sweat because Harry won’t have access to a shower (with a decent amount of elbow room, at least, unlike the one on the bus) until the morning, but with each stroke of Louis’ hand through lank curls Harry goes looser, looser.

💜 There's Fur Everywhere by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup {G, 4k}

Five times Harry finds someone sleeping in his car.

One time he makes them sleep in his house.

💜 How Long Will I Love You by @neondiamond {T, 4k}

Five times Louis thinks Harry is the love of his life and the one time he says it out loud.

💜 Changing Weather (For Worse or For Better) by @haztobegood {M, 3k}

Five times it's raining and one time it stops.

💜 Gucci Down To My Drawers by @beanno28 {E, 2k}

Louis has been hired by Gucci to photograph the one and only Harry Styles. The shoot doesn't go quite as he plans but he isn't coming to complain when all is said and done.

🎄🎅🏻 Holiday Greetings & Gay Happy Meetings by @beanno28 🎅🏻🎄

5186 words // Explicit

Harry and Louis are caught in a rather compromising position in Louis' childhood bedroom during Harry's first Christmas with Louis' family. Who catches them and what will they do about it?

Never Stare by Throwthemflowers | E | 1945 Louis is trying to survive figure drawing class. The nude model is Harry. It's downhill from there.

Don't Know What to Think (When I'm Looking at You) by smallearthcat | E | 3829 One of the last things Zayn had expected was that touring meant he'd be drawing more often.

Eyes Shut Fingers Open by lostlenore | nr | 4072 Liam gets off the bus in front of the fine arts studios feeling like he should’ve arrived wearing nothing but a trench coat and expensive heels.

Christmas Glows With Love by Beanno28 | E | 4837 Harry, a photographer, is taking photos for a porn magazine cover. Louis, a solo porn star, is up for just about anything!

Draw by dolce_piccante | T | 8343 AU. An overworked university student, an endearing chatterbox, art, loads of fluff, and nudity. Lots and lots of nudity!

dodging lions and wastin' time by ferryboatpeak | T | 9373 zayn and harry both want niall to model for them. only one of them understands why.

The Section by bananaheathen | M | 11144 In which Louis is a TA for an Intro to Cinema course, and Harry is an undergrad with a bit of a crush. Or, the one with "Name: Harry Styles, Date: me please" As usual, it’s the Irish one he hears first. “Keep up, Styles. It’s YOUR boyfriend we’re off to see.” “He’ll have heard that, Niall, you arse. Thank you so much.” Louis just has time to text Zayn: fuck.

Baby, Teach Me How To by FallingLikeThis | E | 13316 At 10 am, the door to the studio classroom shuts with a bang that makes Harry jolt in his seat at the sound of it. He turns to see an absolutely gorgeous man standing there, hand still on the doorknob. His hair falls in a windswept swoop over his brow and he’s got a sexy scruff on his cheeks that Harry immediately can’t help imagining between his thighs. The man’s eyes shine with mirth, lips quirked into a wicked grin at having gotten a reaction from nearly everyone in the room. Harry watches him with unfettered curiosity, idly thinking he’d be a beautiful subject for a portrait as the man’s hand falls from the door. “Hello, class,” he says, clapping his hands in front of him and Harry’s eyes have a hard time staying in his head. This is Professor Tomlinson? Or Louis is Harry's art professor and they both know it's forbidden to fall in love. Somehow, they manage to anyway.

Helllllo!!!

I hope it’s okay that we took this question and put our own spin on it... Episode 25 is all about how to mod a fic fests and our experiences!

✤ Vacation Fics ✤

A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.

- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ Let Me Feel Your Heartbeat by @angelichl {E, 34k}

Harry is 98% sure Louis hates him. So he feels like his bewilderment is justified when the omega offers to help him through his rut.

2️⃣ waiting for the tides to meet by @nauticalleeds {E, 59k}

Louis lets out a deep breath, thinking about Harry’s soulmate. Thinking about how Harry’s soulmate is probably as beautiful as Harry, some person that Louis cannot compare to, and how the universe has chosen them to be Harry’s. Fuck the universe. “Fuck you,” he calls out to the universe. He’s aware of how crazy he sounds.

Maybe he is crazy, with how he’s falling for Harry. And fuck that, too. 

Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia — one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate's. It's only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he'll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis' workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis' heart.

Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don't ask why.

3️⃣ love is a word, you gave it a name by CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry {E, 158k}

After two decades in brutal show business, Louis Tomlinson is trying to restore his tranquility of mind in the peace of Northern Europe where the sun barely sets, Maria's bar is always open, and young Harry has an irresistible spark in his eyes.

4️⃣ Fake It Till You Make It by thealmightyavocado / @avocadolouie {M, 136k}

In a twisted turn of events, Louis finds himself posing as the brother of his fiancé, Harry, for an annual company retreat.

Did he sign up for this? No.

Is he doing it anyway? Yes.

Can they actually pull this off? Probably not.

5️⃣ Falling For Me Won't Be A Mistake by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 58k}

Harry is married to his job and so overworked that he doesn't know how to stop. All it takes is a forced Hawaiian get-a-away, the warm tropical breeze of the island, and the most beautiful, elusive man he's ever seen to make him remember what living is like outside of work. Well, that, and the little souvenir he accidentally takes home with him.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 Love Moves Like The Sea by flamboyo / @riverswater {M, 33k}

“Of course I want to stay with you, I missed you, you know? We haven't spent so much time apart since…” Harry’s smile dims a bit. “Well, we've never done it.” There's a hint of a question there, a why. Why did you stop reaching out, why did we stop talking for months? Louis doesn’t answer. He can’t say, ‘I was hoping that by ignoring you for months I would have fallen out of love with you, and it didn’t even happen’ on their first day of vacation, can he? * Spending two weeks in his uncle's old house by Lee Bay beach is not Louis' ideal holiday, but sadly is the only one he can afford this summer. Spending those alone with Harry, his best friend who he has spent the last five years in love with, may make everything a little better, though. Away from everyday reality, alone somewhere that makes you forget your past and gloss over your future, maybe it's time for two friends to finally explore what they haven't said (but felt) for years.

💎 Like Those Foreign Stars by @beanno28 {E, 18k}

Louis' family go on a vacation to Mexico, he never expects to meet a handsome young entertainer who seems to have taken a liking to him. What happens when Louis easily gives in and decides sneaking around his family's back to have a fling takes a turn?

💎 BLVD by @kingsofeverything {E, 12k}

It’s the first week of summer break and Harry just wants to relax and enjoy his vacation in Myrtle Beach.

If only he could stop making an ass of himself.

💎 i need something, so tell me something new by @alwaysxlarrie {E, 10k}

Louis goes on vacation to New York City to enjoy the good weather and good food - he even has a list of restaurants he wants to eat at. Much to his delight, his first restaurant stop includes a gorgeous curly boy and his nosy but supportive best friend. Maybe he'll get more than what he came here for.

💎 hear my belated regret by theankletattoo / @peachade {E, 3k}

“Baby, can you look at me? Please,” he pleads, thumbing over his cheekbones, pads of his thumbs calloused. It reminds him of the beach, feet wet from salty waves, sand coarse, sticking to him, laughter and waves and salt and lovers.   “Don’t ask that of me,” he says out loud.

In Search of the Perfect Tree by @beanno28​

Words: 5442 // Rating: Mature

Harry and Louis work together at Home Depot and are also in a long term relationship. Harry is getting ready to get the store ready for the holiday season. When Louis decides he wants in on the action and their coworkers plan a tree off. Who wins and who loses? What happens when Harry has a secret up his sleeve?
