Hi, anon, here are some recs for you!

Tainted Love by Darling28 / @darling-28

Broken awards, cut-up blouses, childish pranks and lots of nastiness? This is apparently all that remains of Louis and Harry after a sudden break-up and they walk a fine line between love, revenge and jealousy.

Will the two find their way back to each other or are they both too hurt?

Written for the BL Fic Fest 2023

Prompt 4: Exes to Lovers AU where Harry and Louis are celebrities who have had a bitter breakup and they write songs/post shady captions to rile each other up. Louis says in an interview that he has moved on from dating pop stars to football players because they have better stamina.

Be My Mistake by lanallite1D / @lanallite

Louis swears he’s done with Harry Styles.

He’s said it before—after the screaming fights, the slammed doors, the texts he knows he shouldn’t answer but always does. It’s just sex, he tells himself. It doesn’t mean anything.

But with Harry, it always means something. Getting over him was never going to be easy, not after nearly two great years together, a breakup that was loud and messy, and a crater left in the middle of their friend group. And definitely not when Harry still looks at him like he still belongs to him.

Louis tells his friends it’s over, that it’s just drunken mistakes, that it’s not like that anymore. But Niall, Zayn, and Liam see right through him, because they know that with Harry, it’s always more than that. They tell him to walk away.

Louis knows they’re right. But that doesn’t stop him from going back.

or; inspired by ‘bad idea right?’ by Olivia Rodrigo, Louis and Harry are exes who always seem to end up in bed with each other.

“Who is that?” He hisses.

Zayn holds up a hand to stop Louis from speaking any further.

The voice on the other end of the phone continues. “Then, he saw a photo of him on Insta with his little sister and brother, and he was so gone, dude. He basically demanded that I find Louis for him! And he’s never demanded anything from me ever !”

“Pshhhh, Louis’ been jerking off to Harry for years--”

Louis dives from his place on the couch to sprawl across Zayn’s desk, snatching the phone up. There are loud noises coming from the other end of the phone as Louis shouts into it. “Who is this? Zayn has no idea what he’s talking about--”

Hi, anon! So I do have these recs that I think will have some that fit that:

✤ Gay Awakening Fics

✤ Sexuality Crisis

And here are a few more for you, too...

Nobody compares to you by fallenflowercrowns

Harry has a long-term crush on his bandmate and best friend Louis, who is straight, at least as far as he knows. He also starts falling in love with this guy he met on tumblr. Who also has a crush on his own best mate. Things are about to get complicated.

Or, the one where Harry falls in love twice, Louis is just incredibly sweet and supportive, and Al from tumblr is super nice but also really secretive about his identity - not that Harry can blame him, considering his own blog is run under false pretences, too.

Completely, and Absolutely by iwillpaintasongforlou

Louis is so completely and absolutely NOT gay that the fact that anyone thinks Harry is his soulmate is just being ridiculous. Including himself. He just thinks they're mates that are two parts of the same soul, and that's not weird at all. Okay?

Or, the one in which Louis spends the entirety of X Factor so deep in denial that he doesn't realize he's gay until he's already 3000% gone for the dimpled mess in his arms.

Paparazzi by Darling28 / @darling-28

"Oi, what happened to treat people with kindness?" Louis yells loud enough for Harry to hear from across the street.

"That goes for everyone but you!" Harry calls back and while he can only see the back of him, he gives him his middle finger again.
