when you say you love me, know i love you more by darkofthenights | E | 2453 Louis discovers one of Harry's insecurities and happily soothes it away.

Personal Trainer by LaDiDah | T | 5957 Louis is dumped by his ex and after lamenting the state of his thighs, hires Harry to get him back into shape. But what will happen when Harry sees no room for improvement?

I Can't Hear You by kikikryslee | E | 9088 "I’m not supposed to be built this way!" Harry said. "I’m supposed to be shorter than you, and you’re supposed to be stronger than me and-“ “Harry!” Louis tried to interrupt. “And what if I’m not supposed to be an omega? What if my body screwed up somewhere or something? What if I’m not supposed to be your omega?” --- Or, the one where Harry is self-conscious about his body because it's not the 'typical omega body' and Louis shows him why he loves that.

Couldn't Dream This Up by crimsontheory | E | 16040 “Marcel!” Niall chirped through the phone, answering on the first ring. He was always so damn chipper. “Don’t tell me you actually want to go out tonight?” Niall may have been Marcel’s best friend since primary school, his only friend really, but the urge to murder him got stronger with each passing day. “Why did you give my number to some guy you work with?” Marcel blurted out, completely ignoring Niall’s question. “Oh Marcey,” Niall said, his voice getting softer, but still loud because it was Niall after all. Marcel rolled his eyes at the nickname. It was something Niall picked up from Marcel’s mum and he hated it. “Louis is a really nice guy and he’s exactly your type. I thought you’d be up for it.” Or the one where Niall gave Marcel’s number to someone he worked with and Marcel wasn’t too pleased about it.

The Boy in The Pikachu Pants by MrsStylinson | T | 19635 Louis stars as the bumbling idiot who's only a bumbling idiot around Harry. Harry stars as the charming bastard who steals his heart completely. They meet in the middle of a hallway with Louis in a state of considerable undress, singing Destiny's Child at the top of his lungs. Somehow that seals it for Harry. This is the boy he was always meant to fall in love with. Louis feels the same, only slightly more defeatist. It takes them a while to figure things out.

A Waltz For A Night by sunsetmog | E | 26570 "Stop being so nice to me. I'm normally horrible to you. I've been horrible to you the last however many times we've seen each other." "I just thought that was you flirting," Nick says. "Wasn't it?" "No. I mean, yes, of course it was, but like, also, no. Oh, fuck. I fancied you rotten. I was trying to hide it." Or: Louis finds someone who likes every bit of him, and who likes the same things he does. He just hadn't expected that person to be Nick Grimshaw.

Wouldn't Ever Want Anybody Else by itsmiz | E | 40555 Louis and Harry’s relationship has fairly recently turned sexual, and Louis’ bodily insecurities get in the way of something that he really wants. Meanwhile, Zayn and Liam deal with coming out as a couple to the band.

Counterbalance by YesIsAWorld | E | 44777 Harry Styles loves two things: teaching ballet and racing motorcycles. Those two worlds collide when his greatest rival on the track, Louis “Tommo” Tomlinson brings his tiny siblings to Harry’s class.

Re-reads:

1. Just Lay With Me (givemesumaurgravy) - Louis is the coach of Harry’s daughter’s football team and Harry likes Louis’ bum. One day there’s a parent football game and Louis, just maybe, starts hitting on Harry and, just maybe, Harry gives in.

2. Whether Clouds or Clear Skies (onewasturning) - Louis gets into the habit of stealing baked goods while Harry’s busy keeping tabs on the weather.

3. Take My Hand (and My Heart and Soul) (bananasandboots) - Harry hasn’t spoken to his best friend in sixteen months and he can’t remember why.

4. Nothing Else but Us Right Here (supernope) - Louis sighs and gives himself a mental pep talk as he smooths his jumper down over his hips. He can do this. He can resist the draw of Harry Styles, because he is a responsible, mature adult, and as much as he wants to tangle his fingers in that mess of hair and map those ridiculous tattoos with his tongue, he does not want to get his daughter’s favorite teacher fired.

5. Celebrity Discount (loadedgunn) - Louis fell for Prince Harry when he was ten and Harry was eight and peeked behind the Queen’s elegant gown for his first public appearance - a shy smile and a mess of curls. He fell for him when he caught Lottie putting up a magazine cover of Harry on her wall and all she had to say for herself was, “He’s such a good person, yeah?” and, yeah. He fell for him when Harry gracefully accepted his demotion. He fell for him when Harry came out and stayed out.

6. Shine (togetherwecouldbealright) - Louis is an actor who needs to get away from the real world. He does the only thing that he can and runs away, finding himself in a small town where he happens upon Harry. What Louis doesn’t expect is to somehow fall in love and end up having to face what he was running from all along.

7. Two Halves of a Blue Sky (dea_liberty) - Harry had tried to get used to the attention fame had brought him - had learned to at least pretend to deal with the rumours and speculation about every aspect of his life - but after being outed all too publicly, it all became too much. A break from it all on an island in the middle of the Pacific seemed to be just the sort of thing Harry needed.

8. Up to No Good (whoknows) - Harry doesn’t think of himself as a womanizer, not at all. Sure, he enjoys sex, enjoys how women feel underneath him, and by some people’s standards he has sex with quite a lot of people, but that’s no reason to tell him that he can’t have a female PA anymore. It’s especially no excuse for giving him a male PA who’s possibly the most gorgeous boy in the world who won’t even let Harry look at him for too long. Sometimes Harry hates his life.

9. Another Hazy May (delilah) - Louis is a terrible poet and Harry lives in the now and they have six weeks to fall in love but, really, it only takes six seconds.
