- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ amaryllis by @hattalove {E, 146k}

"Where are we?""Um. A little while out of London?" Niall tries, seemingly the only one willing to not be mysterious and provide Harry with information, and. Oh."London London? As in, the capital of England London?" he asks, just in case he'd misheard."No, the other London," Louis laughs, low and biting. He comes closer finally, the moonlight just enough to reveal a sharp-cut jaw and pale skin. "Sorry, Pup."Nobody's ever called Harry a "pup". Frankly, he finds it quite insulting, but he lets it slide to try and comprehend his current crisis.

or the one where harry gets bitten by a werewolf. louis is the mysterious not-quite alpha, liam and zayn have Things going on, niall is their token human, and together, they watch a lot of TV.

2️⃣ House of The Rising Sun by @itsmotivatingcara {M, 101k}

“It wasn’t me.” Louis said after they’d walked a block in silence, Harry glanced over in surprise but this time Louis didn’t meet his eyes, instead looking ahead. The moonlight cast shadows under his striking cheekbones, and not for the first time, Harry thought he was eerily beautiful - though immortality would likely have a hand in that. “It was supposed to be, but I got caught up in something else.”

“Something more important than murdering a witch” Harry snarked, “Will wonders never cease.”

He felt Louis’ irritation before he spoke again, “Careful, little lamb.” He murmured.

Little lamb.

Harry despised the nickname Louis had given him when they’d first met nine months prior. Little Lamb to the slaughter, Louis had said mockingly.

Or

The Originals AU that no one asked for.

3️⃣ Thrown To The Wolves by @smittenwithlouis {E, 21k}

“Are you sure nothing is going on between you two? And that it’s not more than just a one-sided crush like you’ve been saying it’s been for years?”

Louis is flabbergasted.

“Of course it’s been one-sided. If anything was going on between H and I, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t be pining for him from a distance like a loser,” Louis replies in annoyance.

“It’s just that…you should have seen him, Lou. He wasn’t himself. The way he went after those rogues...it was gruesome,” Oli says slowly before shivering. “Not to mention the 180 he did when he carried you after you passed out. He went from acting as intimidating, all-powerful alpha Harry Styles to gently cradling your deadweight body as if you were made of glass.”

Or: Louis is a human living in the Styles' wolf pack who can't stop getting into trouble, and Harry is the soon-to-be alpha who thinks keeping Louis at arm's length is the safest option.

4️⃣ break open the sky by @karamelised {E, 20k}

Being a werewolf isn't always easy. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing.

or

Werewolf au. Harry might be a werewolf, but he still wants to experience Uni like everyone else. Turns out he learns a lot.

5️⃣ The Wolf's Claim by mystic_believexx {G, 16k}

Harry started to wonder just how long Louis Tomlinson had been watching him for. Being Louis' mate is just the tip of the iceberg... OR The one where Harry discovers the dangers of being the future Alpha's mate.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 learn from the times that we were cursed by bravestyles {NR, 78k}

Battling against a curse, Harry and his pack of werewolves are only human once a month on every full moon. With the use of his magic, Louis does his best to keep them safe until he can figure out a way to break the curse. In the meantime, he and Harry try to make it work between them.

witch!louis werewolf!harry

💎 All Your Mates Are Here by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup {T, 36k}

"The pack is... It's folding, Harry."

Like every werewolf does when they get to a new town, Harry joined one of the many local packs when he started university. Now, three years into his program, he's hit with the news that his pack is giving up, going their separate ways. In the wake of the holidays, the three single wolves from the Majestic pack are pointed in the direction of a new pack to join; one that's got struggles of its own.

A new pack, a new house, and two new roommates with personal space issues... Plus exams, of course.

💎 I'm Fed Up With Pretending To Be Fine by patdkitten / @babyarcanacasey {M, 25k}

Harry Styles accidentally comes out in an interview following the news that his former bandmate (and secret ex-boyfriend) Niall Horan got married to another man. His personal assistant Zayn Malik suggests they lie low for a bit while Harry's agent cleans up the mess. Zayn's even got a suggestion: he has a friend named Liam that is a manager at a bed and breakfast/working farm in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. Once there, though, there's a complication: the owner of the bed and breakfast is a really attractive shifter by the name of Louis Tomlinson, who just wants a quiet life with his daughter Ariel. And, oh yeah, things are awkward between Zayn and Liam, and Louis isn't happy Zayn's staying with them.

💎 The Truth I Can't Explain (Smoke and Mirrors) by @fallinglikethis {M, 9k}

Louis Tomlinson scans the horizon. It’s dark, but his werewolf eyes are equipped for that. He sees clearly in the inky black of the forest around them. He and every other wolf can see the moment the first blood mage crosses the boundary into their compound. The mages must think they’ve disabled the wards on the edges of the boundary but the wolves did that themselves when they found out the mages were coming. Louis’ pack has opened the door and put down the welcome mat. It’s up to the mages whether that mat becomes stained in blood.

💎 Nothing Feels Higher by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose {T, 5k}

“Calm down,” Niall whispers and reaches down to encircle Louis’. He glances behind himself to their table and then back to Louis. “Put your claws away, idiot.”

“I don’t like him,” Louis bluntly says and stuffs his hands in his pockets to hide the fact that blood is now starting to seep from the wounds from his claws.

“Who, Liam?”

Louis’ growl grows louder.

“You don’t know him.”

“Doesn’t matter—he shouldn’t be sitting at our table.”

Any fin is possible by gorgeousnerd | E | 6066 Harry falls off his ship and washes up onto an island. Turns out, he's not the only one looking to get home. Or: in which Harry is not a pirate, Nick doesn't like a cuddle (except when he does), and they both have magical secrets.

And the Deep Blue Sea by provetheworst | nr | 7249 Now that Nick's been thrown overboard for siding with the captain during a mutiny, his only hope for survival lies with a complete flop of a mermaid whose idea of help is a bouquet of forks. At least Nick's got something pretty to look at before his inevitable demise.

It's A Never-Ending Helter-Skelter by runaway_train | T | 8143 Harry coughs again, confused. There’s a good chance he’s going about this questioning thing in completely the wrong order. He looks at his surroundings. He’s on a beach. A very beautiful but very empty beach. There’s nothing but white sand in either direction until it curves around and disappears into the luscious green of the tropical forest behind them. “Where am I?” he asks. For some unknown reason that Harry would never be able to articulate, he instantly trusts Niall. Niall scratches at his cheek. “Uh… Well you see, that’s a bit more complicated. What’s the last thing you remember?” Or The one where Harry winds up on a desert island with a bunch of circus performers and it might just be the best thing that's ever happened to him.

A King Under Your Control by Thelonelycoast | nr | 10552 Zayn is a famous R&B singer and Louis is an air host on Zayn's private jet. A storm comes and they crash on a deserted island... Also, they hate each other.

Lost Coastlines by pukeandcry | T | 21834 Nick doesn’t know what you’re meant to do when Harry Styles has suddenly come back from the dead. It's been a year since Harry and Niall died in a plane crash – only it turns out they didn't, because they've just been rescued from the island they've been stranded on, and Harry is suddenly back in Nick's life, not quite good as new.

we'll be alright by bravestyles | nr | 31363 He stares at the water for a few minutes, thinking, why are you trapping us here? Why are you doing this to us? You're the only thing separating me from my family. After that, he turns to look at the island, and Harry nearly cries with relief at what he sees. There's fruit. A lot of it. Mangoes, bananas, coconuts, a few other fruity looking things he doesn't recognize. And there's a lot of colors, too. Trees and flowers everywhere. At least they're not trapped somewhere terrible. This feels like they're being given at least a chance. or, Niall, Louis and Harry get stranded on a desert island.
