emotional knapsack by irishmizzy & miss_bennie [ao3] ♥

“We could do a,” Harry leans forward, “like a, small show? or shows? Like, not a full tour. Not that we’re like, going to record or anything or change anything about our hiatus. But, we’ve got the songs?”

“Just a small thing,” Niall could slap himself for how light his voice comes out, clearing his throat and meeting Harry’s big eyes with his own, “just a bit of fun.”

  (Harry and Niall go solo, together.)

way, no way by irishmizzy & miss_bennie [ao3] ♥

"This is going to be even better than America," Harry says, his mouth so close Niall can feel his lips against the shell of his ear.

"Better?" Niall raises his eyebrow as the crowd gets louder, the kind of roar Niall can feel in the soles of his feet. "Don’t know if that’s possible, Haz."

the mad ones (pool party remix) by irishmizzy & miss_bennie [ao3]

Harry buys a car in NYC = OT5 road trip to LA. 24-hour diners, shit hotels, Polaroids, golf, line dancing, and too many people in the backseat: this is what dreams are made of.

Baby, I by makesomelove [ao3] ♥

Warm milk floods his mouth. The hand in Niall's hair tightens.

"Oh my god," Niall says, his mouth full. He doesn't know whether to spit it out or to swallow it.

i forgot where we were by littlecather [ao3] ♥

“You,” he says thickly, swallowing. “You don’t - you don’t remember.” “Not the last three years,” Harry tells him simply. “Sorry. What was your name?” “Niall,” he mutters, face suddenly dark. “I’m Niall, I’m Liam’s assistant." Harry wakes up to find he has retrograde amnesia and a perfect life - seemingly. ~ 70k

I'm not trying to stop you, love by littlecather [ao3] ♥

Niall and Harry are the only ones left on campus over the Christmas holidays, and even though they've never really hung out before, they manage to spend most of the week holed up in Harry's room, together.

Who You Lay Next To by littlecather [ao3] ♥

"Don't knock it 'till you try it," Harry said in that interview. Niall's ready to try it. ~ 6k

just the galaxy beneath us by leitmotifs [ao3]

Some people say it's nature's way of playing matchmaker. Every now and then, two people are born, meant especially for each other. When they both turn eighteen, their hearts start beating in sync and they start feeling things together. If one feels joy, so will the other, no matter how far apart they might be. Sometimes they'll see visions of each other – just little flashes of eyes and hair and skin, snippets of the person that fate has chosen for them. Sometimes they'll dream of each other. Sometimes they'll look down at themselves and realize that they're getting bruises and scratches that aren't theirs, but instead to someone who might be on the other side of the world. Four days after he turns eighteen, Harry feels the first skip of his heartbeat.   Wherein Harry falls a little bit in love with his soulmate before they even meet. ~ 3k

call it magic by leitmotifs [ao3]

Niall's the Hufflepuff who's had a crush on Harry since their third year. Liam and Zayn are Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, respectively, who are his best friends and who also proceed to meddle in this love affair. There are palm readings, failed potions, and roses involved. ~ 6k

does it almost feel like nothing changed at all by estrella30 [ao3]

“You don’t have room to talk,” Louis says, pointing a finger at Harry and narrowing his eyes. “Seeing as how you were seventy five million years late to the meeting today.”

“Well I’m bloody well here now!” Harry shouts. Everyone goes quiet, Zayn even manages to pause whatever Robert Downey Jr. is doing on the telly, and it’s right then, in the middle of the first split second of quiet since Harry arrived that he hears it.

“Wait,” Harry says, cocking his head to the side and listening more closely. “Is that a baby crying?”

  OR: Niall gets a baby left with him and Harry moves in to help him take care of her

remember that time on the bus by estrella30 [ao3]

“Yeah, sure,” Harry says. He smiles and shrugs happily. “I’m good with that.” He gestures to himself on the couch. “You want to like—like now?”

“No! Not now, I mean. One day. In the future.” Niall chews on his thumb and shrugs. “When we’re bored or something.”

Harry snorts a quiet laugh. Only Niall would think shagging a mate would be a good way to kill some time when bored on the bus.

Well. All right. It’s not as if the thought’s never crossed Harry’s mind.

or: harry and niall start shagging

so it goes by tomlinshaw [ao3]

“So,” Harry starts when he catches himself staring at Niall’s mouth too long. “There’s something I didn’t tell you.” “What?” Niall grumbles, voice groggy as he rubs his eyes. Now’s the time, he supposes. Never isn’t an option anymore. “My mum thinks we’re dating.” There’s silence.   Or, Niall and Harry pretend to date. ~ 11k

as long as you're mine by tomlinshaw [ao3] ♥

“I don’t like that story.” And - okay. Harry wasn’t expecting that, but Niall isn’t finished. “I don’t like it because you’re not in it.” Harry has to pretend his heart doesn’t swell. He wonders briefly if Niall had a heart, would his be doing the same? (Harry is human. Niall is not.) ~ 7k

love me crazy by trishapocalypse [ao3]

"Maybe you could show me what a real meal looks like.” Harry tried to stop himself from smiling, pursing his own lips and nodding slowly. “Could I, now?” Niall nodded. “You could consider it repayment for the groceries if your pride demands it. I’ll just call it a free, home-cooked meal. What do you say?” he asked.  “Alright,” Harry said slowly. “I suppose it would be educational. It would be rude of me to not show you how to properly feed yourself.” “Exactly,” Niall agreed.   (Or: It all starts with Cheetos and Harry forgetting his wallet.) ~ 17k

we all have our secrets by trishapocalypse [ao3]

“But like,” Niall started, running his thumb over his lip as he chose his words carefully. “I’ve never thought about choking a lad while fucking them but, like. I wanna choke that kid while fucking him.” (Or: the one where Niall works in a flower shop, Harry's a tattoo artist, and Niall really wants to choke Harry while fucking him.) ~ 5k

Feel Your Pulse in the Pages by ZapZialler [ao3]

Harry is a writer, a fairy tale writer except that he puts a dark twist on the classical tales that have been told for ages. The protagonists, or the anti-heroes really, who are supposed to be innocent and pure are cunning and maniacal in his versions of the stories.

His main character has the same name as in the original tales, but he gives them all a general description: blond, blue-eyed, and with a killer smile that could outshine the sun.

Harry has next expected to meet someone like his character, or more precisely, someone who is exactly from his stories.

In Medias Res by siempreniall [ao3] ♥

Harry Styles is an HMRC agent with a penchant for numbers and being alone, who one day wakes up to find a voice inside his head narrating his life. Everything, from falling in love with a lovely (possibly Anarchist) baker to brushing his teeth, is told through the voice of a snarky author who's known for killing off his protagonists, and this time's no different.

Lips As Red As Mistletoe by runawaymind [ao3]

Poisoned with love by serenityandtea [ao3]

Hogwarts AU in which the boys organise a Secret Santa and Niall is planning on buying Harry the best damn tarts he's ever eaten. It's definitely not his fault that they end up being laced with a love potion.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Niall confesses and Louis looks at him in confusion. “Harry. I can’t do it anymore. It’s driving me mad, mate. He’s been propositioning me constantly and this morning I had his stiffie pressed against me arse. I can’t do this, Lou!"

Heart is Where the House Lies by alteringegoism [ao3]

Where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are true, and unafraid of toil. 

Congratulations! Your prefect here, welcoming you to Hufflepuff House. Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Hufflepuff is the best of houses. Don’t let anyone, including those sly Slytherins, know-it-all Ravenclaws, or arrogant Gryffindors tell you any different. Oh, and if someone could convince our very own illustrious Head Boy, that git (though don’t you dare hurt any feelings he may or may not have by telling him I said that!) of the same, it’d be much appreciated. Please and thank you!

Luckily, one Niall Horan, Hufflepuff extraordinaire, is about to take on hard-headed, Head Boy Harry Styles, whether he knows it or not. And isn’t it always better when they don’t?

once in your life by wearecities (falsetto) [ao3] ♥

There’s a moment of silence where Harry considers just passing out right there, head hanging off the bed, because the alcohol’s finally catching up to him in the most unpleasant way. “When we’re thirty?”

“When we’re thirty.” Harry repeats. His eyelids are slowly drooping closed, fingers going slack around the beer he’s clutching. He’s just slipping over the edge when there’s the rustle of material and he squints open one eye to look at Niall.

"We’ve done stupider things.” Niall shrugs.

Niall and Harry make a marriage pact.

I Know my Heart (And it Will Never Change) by Diaryofanarcissisticgayman [ao3] ♥

Harry loves his job, he really does. It's a great job, no matter what these pricks are saying. Fuck the Santas (been there, done that,once. Never again. It would probably indicate some deeply rooted childhood issues if he'd ever had a childhood, or indeed if hewasn't actually far older than the legend of Saint Nicholas.), the Easter bunnies (Who are in reality a very nice group of girls Harryenjoys spending time with more now after he convinced them fifty years ago to wear faux-fur instead because he's a bit of ahippie, and fur is murder.), the tooth fairies (Creepy gomthopothic little weirdos.), the sandmen (does he really even need to sayhow boring that job would be?) and the rest of the bastards currently taking the piss out of his job. He’s the literal embodiment of love, a Cupid, and a pretty high ranking one at that. He runs all of the greater London area, andhas for nearly two centuries. It’s a prestigious position, and one Harry is proud of (Even if it does tend to focus around an insaneamount of paperwork). “Mate, you have to admit, your job is fairly ridiculous.” someone seated over to his left laughs.

Sometimes It Comes With a Shove (When You Fall In Love) by missingheadache [ao3] ♥

“I can’t believe they’ve assigned me a baby sitter,” Niall huffs, eyeing Harry up and down with something softer than genuine irritation written on his face. “It’s like I’m some sort of criminal.” “Criminally stubborn, I’ve been told,” Harry says lightly, happy to play along because gentle teasing might be the only thing about his new place in life that he feels even remotely comfortable with. “Oh, is that what they call determination these days?” - Or: A football AU where Niall claims he's not stubborn while Harry pretends he's not a doctor. ~ 19k

Get It For Free by Ferritin4 [ao3] ♥

Liam tries not to notice even though it’s incredibly obvious, tries not to make a face or blush when Louis drops a hand to palm himself in the middle of an interview or backstage. Louis sticks his hand in his trousers with the same careless disinterest that he has for his constant rearranging of his hair or his T-shirt hems.

Liam’s not -- he’s not a prude, and God knows he knows it’s right bloody distracting having your dick decide to go the wrong way in your pants, but he saves that for the toilets, or, like, the gym. You don’t just idly put your hand on your cock and then -- but Louis does, he absolutely does.

Dust Off Your Highest Hopes by pukeandcry [ao3]

Louis has a spot, way in the back row of the school theater, the last little aisle of three seats in a row that are tucked up next to the sound booth. He goes there to nap and to listen to his ipod and go over lines, and everyone knows it’s his, because he sort of runs things in the drama department, and also, he’s written his name on one of the seats with marker.

So he’s confused when he goes to shut his eyes after classes and before he’s due to begin rehearsals, and there’s someone in his spot. The spot that’s his. And not just someone, as it turns out, but Liam Payne. (High School AU)

Louis’ bike coasts to a stop. It happens so slowly that by the time he’s at a standstill, Liam is far ahead, up by the curve. “I’ll forget.”

Liam stops much more quickly. They’re alone in the dome; their private conversation can be held across thirty feet of open space. “You’ll what?”

Louis watches him. “I’ll forget,” he repeats. “Not the way you forget things, when you can’t pinpoint them but you still carry them in your heart. I’ll just have my hard drive wiped.”

Or: Louis is the medical android tasked with taking care of Liam in a world after nuclear war.

love potion no. 9 by dramaturgicallycorrect [ao3]

He opens an incognito window on his computer and debates for a solid seven minutes whether he's actually going to do something about it. He doesn't actually think typing "how to stop falling in love with your neighbor who thinks you're just a mate" into google would actually yield something, but it does. "Unlucky in love? Ready to settle down? Falling in love with your neighbor who thinks you're just a mate? The Great Haroldini can help," says the first website's tagline. Seems legit. Liam clicks the link.

“Rookie mistake,” Louis mutters as he spreads his legs a little wider and slows down his strokes because he’s pretty sure he’s going to blow his load far too fucking early since Liam’s decided to play dress up for this session and has somehow stumbled on Louis’ favourite fantasy. Mechanic Liam, dirty, rough and smelling of cars and sweat, looking ready to mess Louis the fuck up. Louis’ got to give Liam credit because he’s really gone for the aesthetic. ~ 13k 

you can take my heart for a walk on the beach by jellyfishes [ao3]

Liam can’t do this now. Not when he has a sleeping five year old down the hall and the guy standing in front of him who he used to think he was in love with. Not anymore of course, he moved past it years ago. But he and Louis grow back together and his eyes still sparkle with a bit of gold when the sun hits them. ~ 18k

The Right Thing Suits So Few by raiwrites [ao3]

“People wouldn’t talk if I didn’t break rules,” Louis had told him and Liam had carefully crunched a crisp before mumblingforlornly: “Yeah, but they know you. Nobody knows me.” “Well, I know you now, Leem, it’s alright.” And Liam’s face had lit up like a christmas tree. - or, a sixth form au in which louis' heart breaks ~ 26k

You're All My Nights by wasp [ao3] ♥

"Zayn said," Liam starts and has to swallow hard, his voice wavering. "What?" Louis asks, suddenly filled with dread. "He said I looked like him, a bit, I could - " Liam cuts himself off and bites at the plump of his bottom lip. Louis blinks down, startled momentarily at how close they've gotten. "You could pretend." ~ 21k [3/3]

Becoming One by alnima [ao3] WIP ♥

Liam lives a quiet life with his son, Zayn. Louis lives a vibrant life with his two sons, Harry and Niall.

It's not easy being a single parent. And it's even harder being a single parent dating another single parent. ~ 127k [42/?]

A Lot Of Love Hate by niamlegend [Wattpad] ♥

Why did I have to fall for Louis? He's a total nightmare to begin with, we drive each other completely insane. I hate how my entire life now revolves around him, and the fact that he's my next door neighbour probably doesn't help anything. [52/52]

little do you know (i need a little more time) by connordont [ao3] ♥

Connor knows that for everyone else, it all ends the moment their timers hit zero, and that's the difference: Connor doesn't want his timer to hit zero. Not now, not for a while. He doesn't want a commitment and someone with a matching timer memory of heart eyes. It's not his thing. Connor doesn't even do boyfriends, he certainly doesn't do soulmates. (everybody has a timer that counts down to the moment they meet their soulmate, and connor has commitment issues.) ~ 13k
