Hi, anon! I don't know any that are directly inspired by the song, but here are some with similar vibes!

Shoot Me From My Left by givemesumaurgravy

“Would you like a tour of the house?” Harry asks and if Louis didn’t know better, he’d assume that it was pure innocence in Harry’s eyes and not a flicker of mischief. 

“I’d love one,” Louis says, and really, he can’t be blamed when he holds out his hand and lets Harry take it to lead him inside the house for a tour that hopefully ends in Louis taking a quite different tour – one involving a lot less clothing and Louis exploring Harry’s body instead of his house. 

Or, the one where sixteen year old Harry takes one of his sister’s twenty-one year old friends to the bathroom of his parent’s cabin to get him to fuck him so he can record the whole thing.

Go With It by embro

Prompt: "You thought I was someone else and started making out with me in a club and you're really hot so I just kinda went with it and now we're heading back to your place and I don't know how to break it to you"

The Bare Naked Truth by @fallinglikethis

Harry and Louis meet at an art show and end up falling into bed together. After it happens again, Harry suggests they make a habit of it. At least, the falling into bed together part.

Or 

Hi, anon! Hope you're having a nice day as well! And you're very welcome for the recs! Here are some that fit what you're looking for:

Rogue omega by @loretheloner

Written for prompt 6 of the 1DAngstFest 2025: Louis is a rogue on the run from his birth pack, who want to kill him because he's a male omega. He ends up in the Styles pack's territory, trying to get away from his hunters. But it's too late--the alphas surround the exhausted omega and attack him. The last thing he sees, before he passes out, is a huge black wolf with green eyes.

What a sight to die to.

A story about prejudice, prophecies, and rejection. Also a story about kindness, resilience and soulmates.

Meet Me On The Forest Floor by @taggiecb

Louis is an angel, and one day he does something that causes him to fall from heaven, and into the arms of Harry Styles, forestry officer, who cares for him until Louis can get back on his feet again.

Until the Pearls Get Lost by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup

London, 1933. Harry Styles, alpha, elusive bachelor and happy third wheel to his coupled friends, receives a visit from one Liam Payne, begging for his help.

Liam’s childhood friend Louis is about to become the talk of the city; left at the altar because the mating bond was rejected, Louis will spend the rest of his life in an institution unless Liam can find someone to take him in and care for him as he recovers. Most omegas with failed bonds are never the same again.

With rumours swirling around about the reason for the rejected bond, Harry gives in to Liam’s pleas. He hasn’t the slightest idea how that decision will shape the rest of his life.

I Kinda Need A Hero (Is It You) by @fallinglikethis

Do you have fic recs for top louis? But soft louis too, like top, soft louis. If its hurt/comfort, good. Thank you:)

Hi, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some recs for you!

Give Me Truths by iwillpaintasongforlou

'Just like a little cat,' Louis thought later, as he drifted off to sleep. 'A little kitten with his claws sunk right into me.' It isn’t that terrible of a thought, after all. ............. Louis is a psychology student with a tattoo count as high as his genius IQ. Harry is in a (sort-of) relationship with a homophobic man and hates himself a little more every day. Things fall apart and Louis puts him back together.

Or, the one in which Louis falls in love with a fragile boy and tells him every beautiful truth in the world, as long as it makes him happy.

Say Something by @kingsofeverything

At fifty years old and recently divorced, Omega Harry Styles isn't interested in dating. When his doctor suggests a heat and rut matching service, he signs up out of necessity. It’s the only use he has for an Alpha in his life.

Twenty-eight-year-old Alpha Louis Tomlinson aims to change that.

Everything I need, I get from you by @lunarheslwt

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.

Paper Houses by @allwaswell16

“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!! Here are some silent treatment fics for you!

Can we please get back to Loving by umbroshirt

Harry's mad and Louis doesn't know why.

Or, the silent treatment fic I thought of the second Written All Over Your Face came out

Silent Treatment by bbykookinhof

“Give me my phone, Louis.”

“Oh, so you can speak. I was starting to worry.”

Harry just glared harder.

Louis shoved his hand away. “What, exactly, are you trying to achieve here? Sulking ‘til I beg for your attention?”

Before Louis could say another word, strong hands grabbed his waist and lifted him, planting him firmly on Harry’s lap.

Kiss It Better by SuaveGirasol

Harry's silent treatment is driving Louis insane.

Hi, anon! So I haven't actually read any Heated Rivalry AUs, but here's what I found when I went looking for you...

The closest thing I think is this WIP...

Slap Shot Through My Heart by larrybullshipper

Harry knows exactly who he's meant to be. A star athlete. A safe investment. A man who never makes the wrong choice. Louis is everything he isn't allowed to want. Messy, honest and standing far too close to the truth Harry refuses to face.

Hockey AU.

This one is more of a canon divergence of HR...

Murder at the Boy Aquarium by winterpillowtalk

Louis was so excited to see his favourite team, the Ottawa Centaurs, play in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy. What he didn't expect was to be uncovering who murdered a mystery man in broad daylight.

Hi, anon! My only problem is that I'm sure I've read fics like this, but it's not the easiest thing to search for! So I think I've come up with a few that are what you're looking for or at least come close. If anyone can think of some that meet this criteria really well, please let us know!

housewife!harry series by anonymous

Louis' hand settles on Harry's hip, making him draw in a sharp breath. No alpha has ever touched him there before.

"Aren't you just a lovely little thing," Louis murmurs. "Gonna be so good for me, aren't you, darling?"

It's time for Louis and Harry to consummate their marriage. Harry doesn't know much about what's meant to happen on his wedding night. Lucky for him, his new alpha doesn't seem to mind.

Something Worth Crying About by @yoursolosong

Harry is giving him that intense look of his. “You… never cried during sex before?” “What's the big deal about it? Why does everyone keep asking me this?” Louis squeaks out, unsure why he even brought it up in the first place. “Who else asked you about this?” Harry incredulously asks. “First, Zayn. And now, you!” “Louis, that's two people,” Harry deadpans.

Or

Omega Louis tells his best friend how he’s never cried during sex. Alpha Harry takes that as a challenge.

the relentless barrister by @louisplumpyass

“I overheard Smith today while he was sitting on his patio... clearly unaware of his surroundings.”

That has Harry bring all his attention back to Louis, not sure where this is heading. He waits for him to continue, scrub daddy in one hand, dirty plate in another, he slowly starts scrubbing the dish.

“He likes to ogle us, specifically you.” Louis starts, his tone terrifyingly cold.

“What?” Harry’s jaw drops and so does the plate in his hand.

Or

Hi, anon! So I can't come up with any that fit this scenario exactly, but here are two that I think come close to what you're looking for. If anyone knows of any that fit this, please let us know in the replies!

Hold You Now by orphan_account

The string within Harry's own sweatpants is now dangling outside of his pocket, stretched so far out that the seams of his pants have tightened. His eyes remain hyper focused on Louis, how oblivious he is—scrolling through his phone without a care in the world, while Harry feels his tilt on its axis.   Three years ago, Harry Styles said goodbye to communications consultancy firm McQuiston Worldwide, leaving a life of travel and agency PR behind. When he accompanies his best friend to a family wedding across the Atlantic, he'll be forced to reopen old wounds and face his past—one that no one wants to hash out, but may just have to.

I'll smile to hide the truth by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite

You were lost in each other, absolutely lost. The world could be burning around you and neither of you would notice. You stopped in the middle of the sidewalk and he spun you around as if you were two five year olds trying to dance for the first time. You dipped under his long arms and he twirled and you were both listening to music that no one else could hear.

It didn’t matter that no one else could hear, because only the two of you existed in that moment. I didn’t exist. The memory of me didn’t exist. It was just giggles and shy glances and the night that wrapped around you and kept your love in its careful hands.

And then he kissed you, right there, just on the edge of the soft yellow glow of the streetlamp and your fingers dug into his long dark curls and your feet went up on tiptoes so that your body pressed into every centimeter of his and you held onto him in a way that spoke promises of never letting go.
