baby, youāre like lightning in a bottle by hlplease (warmcuppatea)
āI can tie a knot in the stemā¦ā He said slowly, leaning against the bar top. āA double knot, actually, but whoās counting?ā
Louisā breath hitched, a sign that Harry wasn't the only one invested in this. āProve it.ā
With a smirk, Harry bit the cherry off the stem. He swallowed the fruit before licking his lips, taking the stem into his mouth. He watched Louis watch him, trying to look as sexy as possible as he knotted the stem with his tongue. Thirty seconds later, he grinned in victory as he pulled the double-knotted stem from his mouth, placing it down in Louisā palm. āIām very talented.ā Was his only explanation.
Louis looked at the stem and back up at Harry, shaking his head and laughing. āYouāre unreal.ā

that one fic in which harry loves attention, louis is a little guarded, and nothing (including arranged hookups, surprise munches, margaritas, vegan food, mutual (unnoticed) pining, and new career moves) can keep them apart.

louis is a doctor and harry's a doula. louis is busy and harry has time on his hands, and it all should be frustratingly complicated... but, somehow it's not.

You Are Half of Me (and I Am All For You) by anonĀ
For @hlplease
Words: 24,731
Rating: Explicit
One Direction, an obscure indie rock band, is about to embark on their first cross-country tour, living out of Louis' beloved van named Patricia.
Harry is in love, and Louis is oblivious. Or is he?
Featuring skinny-dipping in Texas waterfalls, getting lost in the desert, stargazing under the New Mexico sky, performing in front of crowds that grow in size each night, and falling in love on the road during the greatest summer of their lives.
bullseyeās pretentious coffeeĀ ā” warmcuppatea (hlplease)Ā ā” for @angelichl
Louis is a barista at Target Starbucks, and Harry is the annoying customer who is Louis' final straw. Pun intended.
just a little drabble for adri because i found out she pinch-hit my prompt for @hlsummerexchange2019 and didnt get a work herself? and thats so nice of her??? so the only logical thing to do was stalk her tumblr and find this post, which is how this whole thing happened.Ā ā” short and unbetaād, hope it gives you a little laugh!Ā ā”ā”ā”
Another great week here, we hope youāve enjoyed the new fics!

Take The World By StormĀ by anon (55k)Ā
Maybe the X Factor wasn't the first time Louis and Harry had met. Maybe it was always meant to be, unavoidable in the universe. And maybe it happened a little bit differently than we think it did.
Ā Forever... and then some (28k) by anon for @ot5aresoulmates
Harry's coming off a semi-recent break-up and still hasn't gotten back to himself yet. Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn decide it's time to cheer Harry up by taking him on the trip they've all talked about for years.
Breathe In, Breathe Out (12k) by anon for @halosboat
Louis Tomlinson begins visiting a new pub on his lunch break, mostly because he really fancies Harry, the cute, curly-haired barman. As Louis gears up to ask him out, he doesn't realise that there is a huge stumbling block in his way: Harry is taken, and by someone rather familiar.

guys! i was tagged in something (thanks babies!)! Nicole (@ireallysawanangel) tagged me in a WIP Challenge, and @chloehl10 tagged me in the Last Line Challenge, so I figured I would kill two birds with one stone and share my current baby thatās being written for @hltvshowficfest - my queer eye au!
āOi, oi! What are you running outside for like that? Leaving the door open like you were raised in a damn barn?āĀ
The voice made all of their heads turn, realizing that the star of their show was here. Liam and Niall had babies hanging off of them, Zayn was introducing himself to Charlotte, and the eldest twins were talking to Kalen in exaggerated tone about their favorite of his videos from his stint on Ellen. So, Harry was the one seemingly chosen to do the intro. He skipped on over in an attempt to keep the energy up. āLouis, hello hello! Weāre here, weāre queer, and weāre ready to save the day!ā A twirl, sashay and jump, and he was standing right before Louis, an expectant smile on his face.
Louis was speechless, Harry realized quickly. His jaw dropped, glancing between all his siblings and the boys. He seemed to realize all at once that they were all in on this; that the entire production crew was here for him.
āHoly fucking shit.ā He gasped, and Harry watched as his eyes scanned everything. āHow - youāre not in the TV.ā Louis said, a bit lamely.
āOh, no weāre not, hunny!ā Kalen cheered. āYour gorg sister nominated your style and your community center to be made over. And for someone as fucking sweet as you? It was a no-brainer!ā
Charlotte looked at Louis, beaming. āSurprise?ā She said, laughing as she was met by a huge hug from him. āOkay, you can be sappy later. Weāve gotta let the boys inside now, though!ā She laughed as she pulled away from him.Ā
āThank god!ā Niall groaned, carrying the baby twins on either of his hips, trudging back towards the door.
āI know,ā Zayn grumbled. āMy hair is seriously frizzing in this damn humidity.ā

i tag @jacaranda-bloom, @writingstylinson, and @homosociallyyours if yall are interested!
so every once in awhile, iāll be doing a quick WIP update! i know that as an author, i love seeing how other authors are doing, esp when thereās a bit of a struggle involved. i just wanna be here for any other authors, to show that the writing process isnāt always cut and dry. this might be a wash, but if anything it will be a great encouragement to myself! if you are interested in supporting me and my writing process, feel free to read below the cut! (side note, I did take about a month break from writing, between finals and some health issues with my grandma!
1. HL Summer Exchange FicĀ
Word Count: Currently 11.6 k, will probably finish around 17k.
Timeline: I actually started writing this fic on March 13, and I imagine it will be completely finished by this time next week.
Thoughts: I am so excited for this fic! It has been a process for sure - a constant state of writing scenes and deleting them, trying to find what did the characters and the plot justice. Honestly, this fic would have gone absolutely nowhere without my amazing friend + beta nicole (@ireallysawanangel) and her sweet cheerleading and wonderful suggestions! There were many moments where I thought about giving up or scrapping what I had to move to an alternate prompt. But, working through this story has helped me grow as a writer.
2. Single by Choice (for HL Mpreg Fest)
Word Count: 1.1 k, will probably finish around 20 - 30 k.
Timeline: Started on April 29, havenāt added to it since! The due date is September 4, 2019.
Thoughts: I am in love with the prompt I have received for this fest, and am excited to just tackle it once I finish up HL Summer Exchange. I have the basic ideas of the fic outlined, and I have written part of the intro, but thatās all. Still trying to decide if itāll be chaptered, a single piece, or a main piece with an epilogue. Many thoughts and decisions ahead, but right now Iām just so excited and ready to dive into this fluffy, sweet, fic!
3. if the stars werenāt aligned for us
Word Count: 6 k, expecting it to be ~ 30k.
Timeline: yikes. I started this one on February 11! But I have no timeline, as it is not for an exchange, and is more of a passion project!
Thoughts: I absolutely love this fic! I donāt want to reveal too much, but it is a baker!Harry and broadwaystar!louis (as peter pan duh!) au that absolutely no one asked for but I needed. My thought process was, if the stars didnāt line up the way they did for one direction, how would h+l still find each other? hence, the title. i canāt wait to share bits of this with you all!
4. rest it on my fingertips (cause i know youāre persuasive)
Word Count: 54 k posted, 57 k written, literally i have NO idea how much itāll end at lmfao
Timeline: pretty sure this will be my forever wip, sadly. I started it on December 26, 2018, and my last edit on it was March 28 (the day after I posted the most recent chapter).
Thoughts: A little-known fact about this fic, is that when I started it, it was only supposed to be three chapters and around 15k. However, these characters have minds of their own! Jeeeeeesus. Thomas just still has a story to tell, and Louis needs to learn how to navigate life with Harry involved again. Itās just such a massive undertaking. Iām honestly overwhelmed by it right now, so itās been on the back burner.Ā
5. open me up like the textbooks on your desk
Word Count: 5 k, will probably finish around 20 k.
Timeline: I started this on January 28, and it was last edited on March 12 (whoops!). Itās not for a fest, so I have no solid timeline (are you sensing a theme here?? lol)
Thoughts: This is a story I want to just sit down and write, but I never seem to have time, between work, school, and all my other WIPs! Without revealing too much, it centers around a sexy love affair between post-grad student Harry, whose studying Sexology, and clinical psychologist Louis, who is doing research on pansexuality. Sexy and fun, and I canāt wait to write the rest!
6. (iāll make this feel like) home
Word Count: 2 k posted, 4 k in my drafts, no idea when itāll end.
Timeline: this is the real forever WIP. I started it on February 4, 2018, and last edited on February 28, 2018
Thoughts: This story isnāt written yet, because itās heavy aand I am so scared Iām gonna fuck it up. It mirrors the political climate of 2018, with themes of deportation and activism. itās ABO, and iām in love with it, but I donāt want to do a topic this important a disservice.
7. Queer Eye (for HL TV Show Fic Fest)
Word Count: -
Timeline: due November 2019
Thoughts: I am currently working on my outline for this fic, and I am SO EXCITED to combine queer eye + one direction. more details to come!!
Looking ahead: I also have tentative ideas for an X Factor fic, and a Bed&Breakfast fic! Maybe theyāll be outlined or started next time I do a WIP update!
If you read this far, thank you for supporting me and my writing! Also, shoutout to anyone who has even remotely supported me with this process, including @ireallysawanangel, @sisqueer, @tommosgun, @runaway-train-works, @amarixx, and my sweet friend tumblrless kenzie! Hereās to hoping I finish some of these soon! Haha
just read your sorority au - fitting because my sororityās rush is next week ha and Iām VP this year. Also I loved it and you and I want to be your best friend š thanks for the amazing fic I want a part 3!!
