＊ In Alleyways and Fire-escapes by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison [M, 25k, Louis/Harry]

“Shut the fuck up, Zayn,” Louis mutters, not having the energy to even speak louder.

“I’m just saying, you should’ve heard him out. He probably had a good reason to act like that–”

Louis raises his head from the cushion to glare at Zayn. “Are you seriously taking his side right now? When he literally tried to accuse you?”

“I’m not siding with him, Louis,” Zayn says calmly. “I’m just saying that no normal person acts like that unless he’s either gone mad or really scared.”

“Scared? What the fuck would he be scared of?”

Zayn shrugs, looking away. “I don’t know,” he says but he very much looks like he does know.

Louis's life has been a drag since Harry left him. He's stuck between uni and his part-time bar job, occasionally hooking up here and there. He hates Harry for leaving, and the fact that he can't forget him. But at least he's got Zayn- his flatmate and only real friend who's also the least problematic person ever. Louis wishes he could just move on and find joy, but, spoiler alert, things are about to get real messed up. Part 1 of Hearts at Stake

＊ Even the stars in the skies, they are wrong by flamboyo / @riverswater [M, 14k, Louis & Zayn]

“I feel like,” Zayn starts again, after another long pause. “I feel like I was given something beautiful, but that is also a ticking bomb. And it’s gonna go off soon, and it’s gonna destroy me. So I know I should destroy it first.” He hides his face in his hands, and Louis refrains from offering him a cuddle. He’s finally talking. “But I don’t know if I have the guts to. I don’t know if I really want to. Because it’s so beautiful and rare, and I’ve wanted it for so long. But now that I have it, it’s corroding me. And I don’t know how long I can keep going like this.”

It’s May 2014, and the Where We Are tour just started in South America. The boys are buzzing with excitement, but Zayn can't take it anymore. He is ready to leave the band.

Louis knows that no reasoning will ever convince him to stay.

＊ It'll Never Change, Baby by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [M, 1k, Zayn/Niall]

Ten years have passed, and so much has changed in the time since.

Or a look into the 25th of March 2025

＊ Not Without My Muse by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 34k, Zayn/Niall]

Life continues as it always does at a relentless pace. Touring, moving across the country and familial responsibilities keep everyone busy. But never too busy to spend time together. A How It Found Us Sequel

＊ Lover Be Good To Me by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 3k, Zayn/Niall]

A long weekend calls for a trip up north.

The fact that it's their anniversary is icing on the cake.

＊ 23 and Me by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright [E, 315 words, Louis/everyone]

Louis only works for about 30 minutes on March 15 each year, just enough time for his short but intense Ides of March special: Impale Caesar! 60 people surround him, 23 of whom have paid extra for the honor of stabbing their dicks into one of his holes. Part 13 of Glory Hole-idays

＊ Out of Our Systems: Part 5 by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings [E, 13k, Harry/Zayn/Louis]

After two and a half years into their relationship filled with fun, laughter, and love, the only thing they need a little more of is time. Part 5 of Out of Our Systems

＊ The Tokyo Surprise by @srldesigns6277 [E, 8k, Harry/Louis]

- 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.

Knife's Edge by SadaVeniren | T | 1483 He really hoped the cut would stop bleeding. “Dad? What are you doing in our bathroom?” Louis whipped around to see Jess standing in the hallway. She wasn’t rubbing her eyes like she’d just woken up. She was staring at him wide-eyed, and he saw the moment she registered the bleeding cut on his chest because she covered her mouth. He immediately began to panic. aka Sometimes you have to parent, even when you're bleeding from your chest because you were an idiot and hadn't practiced safe kink techniques

superior dna by Anonymous | E | 1611 harry and marcel are identical twins. something strange happens that scientists have never seen before. the twins see their dna as superior and make it their mission to populate the planet with as many offspring as they can. but they need a beta host to get things started.

Make It Worse by Jiksa | E | 1613 He’s looking at Nick with that soft, terrible look in his eyes, the look that tells Nick the two of them are probably something.

little do you know | E | 1623 harry likes to be ignored during sex. nick and louis are happy to indulge him.

Into the Woods by kingsofeverything | E | 2461 Whenever he hikes, Harry keeps an eye out for trees with knots and scars that resemble buttholes. What started as fodder for his silly little Instagram account has become his favorite way to masturbate.

just a little bit wet by rosysonata | nr | 3031 Of course there was always risk, that's part of the reason it felt so good, part of the reason it made him cry, just the idea that someone might catch a glimpse of this thing he does. He's just never actually seen another person while he was there. basically... Louis regularly wets himself in the forest, usually in very colourful and tight clothes. Too bad he keeps running into Harry on his way back to the house

Your hand in my hand, so still and discreet by flamboyo | E | 4513 “It was about how cold he was under me. How still. It was knowing that even if he had died, even if he was already dead, he would still be mine.” Louis thought he knew each one of his boyfriend’s stories, secrets, and kinks. Turns out Harry was keeping a crucial one hidden away.

Never Thought I'd Be Missing the Heat by larry_hiatus | E | 5605 Harry has always hated cigarettes, but when that’s the only piece of Louis that he has left after their breakup, he ends up chain smoking while touching himself to try and get that taste of Louis back.

My Tumblr Crushes:

@harrysrosering @milkshakeharrie @onlyangellouie @loukissy @louisispuresunshine @louisfreckles @flamboyo @princeofyorkshire @quiet-tommo

“That man is to gay men what Marilyn Monroe is to straight men.”

I’m laugh-crying at this amazing description; it’s perfect! Louis at Club GAY was unbridled androgynous beauty, camp, incredible showmanship and sexy flamboyance 🔥🔥🔥

Raise a glass to the legend. 🍾 🥂
