📚 Unbelievers by @isthatyoularry {E, 136k}

It’s Louis’ senior year, and he’s dead set on doing it right. However, along with his pair of cleats, a healthy dose of sarcasm and his ridiculous best friend, he’s also got a complicated family, a terrifyingly uncertain future, and a mortal enemy making his life just that much worse. Mortal enemies “with benefits” was not exactly the plan.

Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely aren’t friends, and football is everything.

📚 Springbrooke by skipper / @skipperxao3 {M, 98k}

Springbrooke is a small town, rich and filled with perfection. 

At the start of his senior year, Harry, an omega with no desire to fit in, meets Zayn, an Alpha with no desire to stand out. With him, he makes a pledge to survive one year, his final year at Springbrooke High, and he’s determined to make the best of it. He struggles through new relationships along with the old, discovering the true meaning of love and friendships in ways he never expected. 

To Harry, each day that passes is one day closer to breaking free and his chance to leave without looking back. Though he soon learns, in the end, it’s not leaving that matters, but what you take with you when you go.

📚 with venom on your tongue by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze {E, 91k}

While Louis had to try so hard to stay focused and be the best, Harry somehow did the same things with ease and confidence. He hated how Harry glided through life, carrying happiness on his shoulders like it was nothing when it was arduous for Louis. His carefree demeanor made Louis feel crazy.

But that feeling just motivated him to always keep his eyes on the prize. Number one in the class rankings every year and the valedictorian spot the next year when they graduated. He was so close he could taste it. And if the only thing in his way was Harry Styles, then Louis was willing to up the stakes to figure out what made him weak just to beat him.

“Whatever,” Louis eventually said to Liam. “He’s a fucking cliche.”

or a boarding school AU where Harry and Louis are academic rivals until they realize they’re more similar than they thought.

📚 don't you think that it's boring how people talk? by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze {E, 86k}

Hey Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.

or a Gossip Girl AU where Louis is the king of the Upper East Side and Harry is the bad boy he loves to hate until a late-night limo ride changes everything.

📚 Truly, Madly, Deeply (10 Things I Hate About You) by sunsetmog / @magicalrocketships {E, 54k}

The first Louis had heard of Harry auditioning for X Factor was the night he'd turned up on Louis' doorstep the day before leaving for Boot Camp, with a DVD and an illicit bottle of vodka.

Thing was, Louis hated secrets, and he really hated being made a fool of, and he really, really hated Harry Styles.

or: the one in which they're all in sixth form together, and Harry auditions for X Factor without them.

📚 Twisted Perfection by emilyxlarry {M, 49k}

"I need to talk to you." Is all Harry says before grabbing Louis' wrist and practically yanking him away. Louis makes a not so masculine noise and glances behind him just to see that his friends couldn't care less that he's about to get murdered.

"Listen Harry, I was just messing around, there's no reason to start a physical fight. I mean — I'm only five nine and you're, like, seven feet tall, I couldn't possibly win against you. I still have a life to live, I have a family that cares about me. If you're gonna murder me, can you at least wait until I finish college? That's the least you could do." Louis rambles as Harry drags him all the way to the locker rooms. Harry just ignores him.

"If you beat me up you'll probably get kicked off the team — " Louis words are muffled by Harry's lips pressing into his own.

Or the one where Louis and Harry hate each other, but a little bit of petty arguing and subtle violence isn’t very good at hiding how they really feel.

📚 far away for far too long by alwaysinmy {M, 46k}

“What are you on?” Harry asks starting to chuckle.

“What?”

“You must be on crack to think that I would do this!” Harry says almost laughing now.

“Harry, I’m serious,” Louis pleads.

“What in the world makes you think I would do this?!” Harry exclaims.

“200 pounds.”

“200 pounds isn’t gonna make m-,”

“And I’ll tutor you in Calculus!” Louis blurts out.

“What?” Harry is very confused.

“I said,” he pauses. “I’ll tutor you. I know you’re almost failing. I’ll help you, if you help me,” Louis says seriously. Harry stops laughing.

“What would being your fake boyfriend require?” Harry asks suddenly interested.

or the one where Louis needs to prove to the Gay-Straight Alliance Club that he isn’t the homophobic guy they think he is and the only way to do that is to get his ex-best mate, Harry Styles, to be his fake boyfriend.

📚 Supposed to Be by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo {M, 26k}

“I’m making a movie for a film competition, and I want you to be in it,” Harry told Louis. “I think you would be a great leading actor in it.” “Why?” “Because it’s you. I mean, who wouldn’t want to know all about the amazing Louis Tomlinson? It would be a great movie.” “You don’t have some weird crush or, like, secret obsession with me, do you?” Louis asked. Harry bit his tongue so he didn’t say “Ew, I have standards.” He didn’t think that would go over well. Of course, that was assuming Louis understood what that meant. --- Or, the Geek Charming AU where Harry's a film geek, Louis' a popular jock, and they both need each other to get what they want.

📚 You're So Square (Baby I Don't Care) by mmaree / @zqua1d {E, 15k}

“So does it say who my new co-counsellor is?”

“Yeah, it does.” Zayn doesn’t even try to hide his smirk and Louis just knows.

He sucks in a breath. “It’s that bloody Styles kid, isn’t it?”

Zayn starts cackling, and Louis takes a moment to rethink every life decision he’s ever made, figure out where he went wrong and why karma hates him so much.

“I’m stuck with Britain’s Biggest Boy Scout for the rest of the summer, aren’t I?”

Or a summer camp au where Louis tries to sort out whether he wants to murder or snog his perky co-counsellor.

📚 defying stars by localopa / @voulezloux {T, 9k}

the marching band au only one person (and that was me) asked for.

📚 Worth a Thousand Words by TheIfInLife / @larryismyotpuniverse {NR, 7k}

“Look, I’m learning some new stuff!”

My name is Louis. My favorite color is green. I like movies. Do you know sign language?

Harry huffed grumpily. Why are you learning sign language?

“Because, I want to be able to talk to you.” Louis looked small, gripping tightly at the steering wheel.

Why?

You’re my friend. Louis signed shakily, having to try it a few times before getting it right. And well, Harry just snapped.

We’re not friends. I don’t know what makes you think that we’re okay but we’re not. You stopped being my friend once you found out that I went deaf. I don’t know if this is your way of ‘making up for it’ or if you think that hanging out with the deaf guy and learning a bit of sign language is your ‘kind deed’ to the world but I don’t want to be your charity case and I don’t want to be your friend. or Harry went deaf at 5 years old and Louis just wants the chance be heard.

📚 Why Don’t We Start Writing The Story Of Us by red_panda28 / @red-panda-28 {T, 6k}

Immediately after the words left his mouth, Louis wanted to face palm himself. Nerves always brought out joking as a deflection technique, it was almost an instinct.

Harry only looked up long enough to reply with a flat, “no,” before turning back to his book.

“Alright,” Louis said, rocking forward on the balls of his feet and shoved his hands in his pockets. “I’ll, uh… leave you to it.”

OR Alpha Louis and Omega Harry get off on the wrong foot, Louis has the worst timing, and Harry believes in second chances. Three times Louis asks Harry on a date and the one time Harry accepts

📚 It’s Probably Because I’ve Got a Big Lesbian Crush on You by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright {T, 6k}

Harry's never really concerned herself with being part of the popular crowd. But as the new girl in school the second semester of her junior year, she finds herself unwittingly competing for Queen Bee status against high school royalty Louis Tomlinson. Maybe there's more to their rivalry than it seems.

A not-quite-Mean Girls AU

📚 A Thin Line by orphan_account {T, 6k}

"Our mums think we're infatuated with each other you halfwit," Harry pointed out. "murder over tea and biscuits isn't an option...sadly."

Or

The Morning After the Night Before by LadyLondonderry | nr | 4838 Harry and Louis have more or less grown up together, even now as adults it's tradition for their families to spend a few weeks in the summer at a beach house together. Problem One: Louis has been in love with Harry forever. Problem Two: It wont stop raining.

The Charles Compass Trilogy by SadaVeniren | E | 8671 Louis Tomlinson is a successful writer who rents a beach house on the Cape to try and finish the final book in his successful Charles Compass trilogy.

Hoping You'll Come Around by mmaree | M | 11066 “I’ve always considered you the clever one, Malik,” Louis clucks, “but from what you’ve just told me, it’s clear you’re not batting on the full wicket.” “Look, I was pissed. I’ve no idea what I was thinking.” “Well that makes two of us,” Louis huffs back. He seems far from impressed with Zayn’s apology, seems more likely to strangle him than anything else. “And don’t you think it’s a bit naff using your best mate’s photo to catfish random blokes on Tinder?” “Only one bloke,” Zayn corrects, “and I wasn’t catfishing.” “Hey, Siri,” Louis says in a bored monotone, “define ‘catfish’ for this bonehead.” “'Catfish. Verb. To lure someone into a relationship by means of a fictional online persona.'” “Fine,” Zayn relents when the automaton shuts up. “Technically, I guess it is catfishing, but it’s…different, like. Not quite as bad.” Louis smirks as he folds his arms across his chest. “Why? Because you’re rich, fit, and famous?” ~*~ Or the one where Zayn’s a famous singer who looks sod-all like Louis Tomlinson, and he’s definitely going to explain all that to Harry. (Soon.)

Those Summer Nights by YesIsAWorld | M | 11791 Nick’s whirlwind summer romance ended when he left his dad’s beach house. Now it’s the first day of senior year, and Nick needs to avoid both the most popular boy at school and his friends’ probing questions.

Love is like this; not a heartbeat, but a moan by angelichl | E | 13150 "He hates this, more than anything in the world he hates this. His title, his rank, his DNA. Unchangeable. Fated. And then there’s Harry, born to be unobjectively superior to Louis and all other O’s. Unlike other A’s, Harry doesn’t wear his alpha-ness very well. He’s clumsy with it, like walking around in a pair of shoes a size too big. His life is defined by uncertainty and tentativeness, and those are definitely not qualities alphas should have. Sometimes, when Louis ponders it for too long, he thinks that maybe Harry resents being an A just as much as Louis resents being an O." In which Harry loves Louis, but Louis has been cold to him ever since he presented as an omega at age fifteen. Eight years later, Louis approaches Harry with a request, and who is Harry to deny him?

Dive by allwaswell16 | E | 21128 Newly retired football star, Louis Tomlinson has left Manchester for Malibu. Along the way, he finds music, friendship, and love in the form of his pop star neighbour and the very fit movie star hiding out next door.

Here are some fics that fit what you're looking for...

How Far We've Come by @hrrytomlinson

“This is Harry Styles,” Chiron offers.

He’s beautiful. His eyes are a stunning green, the color of new foliage. The new kid’s limbs are long and lanky—he looks extremely uncomfortable and uncoordinated. Louis internally smirks to himself, guessing the kid probably won’t be too skilled with a sword, or a bow, or anything sharp, most likely. His hair falls to his shoulders in sets of loose, brown curls. The color is rich and luscious, resembling soil so much that it looks like flowers could sprout from his hairline at any moment. But Louis’ eyes are stuck on his soft looking lips, pink as flower petals and slightly parted as his eyes scan the horizon of the camp.

“Welcome to Camp Half-Blood, Harry.”

You're So Square (Baby I Don't Care) by mmaree / @zqua1d

“So does it say who my new co-counsellor is?”

“Yeah, it does.” Zayn doesn’t even try to hide his smirk and Louis just knows.

He sucks in a breath. “It’s that bloody Styles kid, isn’t it?”

Zayn starts cackling, and Louis takes a moment to rethink every life decision he’s ever made, figure out where he went wrong and why karma hates him so much.

“I’m stuck with Britain’s Biggest Boy Scout for the rest of the summer, aren’t I?”

Or a summer camp au where Louis tries to sort out whether he wants to murder or snog his perky co-counsellor.

lips speak louder by bravefortheboys

Pool water dyed blue, a deep hatred for R.E.M., shorts catching on fire, a karaoke night that somehow changes everything, an angering lack of proper communication—oh, and what's camp without a bit of rivalry?

by mmaree

“This is no ordinary toffee apple,” the woman dressed as a witch tells them. “It's a magic wishing toffee apple.”

Liam knows it’s a load of codswallop, just an inventive way to make a sale. Even so, he’s starting to get weird vibes again, and he really wishes they would leave.

Zayn, however, steps closer to the counter. “A magic wishing toffee apple?” he repeats, eyes glued to the red candy-coated fruit as the woman sets the tray of apples down before them.

“Yes, dearie,” she cackles, “one bite and all your dreams will come true.”

“Like I said, you can leave anytime you want,” Zayn snaps. “I’m an alpha and a prince; I can take care of myself.” He pretends he doesn’t hear Liam snort.

“I can’t leave. I made a pledge to your mother that—”

“Blast the damn pledge!” Zayn curses, throwing his hands in the air. “I release you from your vow, Liam. You can piss off now.”

Liam doesn’t get angry like Zayn suspects he would. “I’m sorry, your Highness, but that is the one command from you I cannot obey.” The knight draws his sword and plants it in the earth, then kneels before his prince, head bowed. “I made an oath to your mother that I would protect you, and on my life, I intend to keep that oath.”
