Rose Tattoo | nr | 3087 Based on this tumblr post: "I passed a flower shop next to a tattoo shop and at first I laughed because I thought it was ironic and then i freaked because imagine your OTP in a florist/tattoo artist AU."

Enchanted To Meet You | G | 4553 Harry is a kitchen witch working in a flower shop while working on his first cookbook. Louis is a green witch working at the tattoo shop next door and spending lots of his free time at the flower shop, flirting with the cute employee, whom he offered an umbrella too once.

lemongrass and sleep by moonshinelouis | E | 5370 Louis is a tattoo artist and Harry wants a rose tattoo.

Ink & Petals by nocontextshruti | G | 6268 Harry has always been told he’s too slow, too careful, too much, not enough in the ways that matter. Louis never asks him to be anything else. Between a flower shop, a tattoo studio, and a collaboration that neither of them expected, something begins to take shape-quiet, intentional, and impossible to rush. For the first time, Harry doesn’t feel like he’s falling behind. For the first time, he feels like he might actually be enough.

The Clover Guy by martianbarnes | T | 7873 “Is everything ok?” the Clover Guy said. “It’s kinda rude to stare like that, ya know?” “No, sorry. ‘S just…” Zayn made a vague gesture towards the guy’s face, but that only made the latter’s eyebrow to go higher. With a giggle escaping his mouth, Zayn had finally said, “You have a big-ass clover on your forehead, mate.”

Come On Make It Easy, Say I Never Mattered | G | 8584 "And he has totally stupid dimples when he smiles, and weirdly cool tattoos. And don’t even get me started on the actual parlor-” “Let me guess, weird and stupid?” Liam asks jokingly. “Yes! Exactly! So weird and stupid!” Louis waves his arms around to prove his point. “Mhmm, yep, I see.” Zayn had finally come back out with his water and he and Liam were leaning against the front counter watching Louis rant. “I knew I could count on you to agree with me Leemo.” “You like him,” Liam smiles smugly at the look of utter shock on Louis’ face. “What! How did you get that out of everything I said? Did you not hear me call him weird and stupid?” “Oh I heard you loud and clear,” Liam turns to Zayn. “Did you Zayn?” Louis looks at Zayn hopefully, waiting for him to prove Liam wrong. “Yep, I heard him. Sounds a lot like he likes Harry to me.” Tattoo parlor/flower shop au. Harry runs the tattoo parlor where Zayn gets his piercings done, and one fateful day Zayn brings Louis with him. Niall and Zayn scheme, Harry draws lots of flowers, Louis teases him, because what is healthy affection, and Liam pops in to act like the protective dad he is.

Roses and Daggers (Flower-shop x Tattoo-Parlour) by temptingstyles | E | 10514 Harry smirked to himself, flicking ash to the ground as he imagined Louis's reaction to what he was about to do. His fingers were already brushing against the petals of the flower Louis had just tucked behind his ear. It was ridiculous, Harry thought, the way a single soft gesture from Louis could make his knees feel weak, even after years together. But Harry wasn't about to let that tenderness win right now. He plucked the vibrant dahlia from his ear and rolled it between his fingers as a plan formed - a brat's play, calculated and guaranteed to push Louis right to the edge. Harry took one more drag, savoring the burn as his other hand moved to the zipper of his jeans. His lips curled into a wicked grin as he slid the flower down, tucking it deliberately into the zipper. Bold fuchsia against the denim was loud, ridiculous, and exactly the kind of audacity that would get under Louis's skin. He adjusted it for dramatic effect, and waited for the fireworks. - Louis, owner of the flower-shop Roses, is dragging a very stubborn and frustrated Harry Styles by his curls across the boutique lined street to Daggers, Harry's tattoo parlour, to teach him a lesson.

HL Tattoo Shop & Flower Shop [Series] by tequila-tequila | E | 11477 Harry is tired of finding watermelon seeds on his balcony every morning. So he does what any polite, young man would do: he finds out who the perpetrator is, and ask them politely to stop. The problem is, said perpetrator is local punk Louis, who likes telling pretty boys his spitting habits and gets himself into situations he really doesn't need to be in. Original Prompt: A Keeps spitting their watermelon seeds over the balcony, and B finds them and gets angry.

the best part of me (was always you) by moonshinelouis (lunarflwrs) ( @moonshinelouis-archive )

Some days, Harry has to work hard to just avoid. He puts on clothes he bought after they were over; uses toothpaste they'd never used together; has coffee rather than tea. He takes the bus to avoid their old car and its familiar, fading smell of his cigarettes and passes the street with the bank because the other way has a flower shop with too many memories surrounding it. Other days, he just needs to relinquish, let go and trust that he’ll be taken care of. They probably shouldn’t be doing this — whoever’s heard of exes with benefits? — but they were each other’s first everything. Kiss. Sex. Love. Louis' the only one he's ever trusted to care for him like that. His body’s not going to just accept that it’s over; his mind much less.

Hi, anon, so I know a few like this. I'm assuming you were looking for ones where the kids are still young? But I included one where the kids were adults now as well because I don't know too many of these...

a perpetual sunrise by moonshinelouis

Louis Tomlinson lives the archetype of a successful man: he has a big white house, a gorgeous wife, and adorable daughters. Happiness is a superfluity, really. And his daughters' dimpled piano teacher is nothing more than a sinful distraction.

1950s AU.

some evening in springtime by delsicle / @eeveedel

Fresh out of veterinary school, Louis moves to a sleepy small town in Texas to take over the local animal clinic. But his new life is quickly interrupted by a middle aged rancher with a bad leg and a mysterious past, who really needs Louis's yoga skills.

That's What I'm Here For by @taggiecb

Hi! I am in fact a Louis/One Direction fan fic blog ! I do know some good Friends fics, and yes, please consider following my blog and perhaps you will eventually fall in love with Louis Tomlinson and also One Direction fan fic...both of these are amazing and worth doing. lol. Normally, I'd put your fic request in my schedule which is my pinned post, BUT it's uhhh very long. And also there aren't THAT many Friends fics that I know of.

- FRIENDS TV SHOW FUSION FICS -

green in the morning and blue afternoon by wildestdreams / @butyouneverdo

“Harry,” Louis whispered beside him.

Harry hummed, his hand coming up to stroke Louis’ back. Louis was still on top of him, his body sagging against Harry’s, heavy and warm, and Harry loved it.

“I don’t think it was a one off.”

“Me either, Lou.”

or a Friends AU.

So No One Told You Life Was Gonna Be This Way by orphan_account

A Friends!AU in which Louis hates mustaches, Harry is oblivious, Liam never stops talking about dinosaurs (but Zayn’s kind of okay with that), and Niall occasionally auditions for acting gigs but mostly eats food that isn't his.

Light My Fire, Blow My Flame by @softfonds

“In New York, you can be a new man.” Broadway actor Louis Tomlinson has it all. An amazing flat, a wonderful friend group, a Tony under his belt, and the world at his fingertips. Yet there’s one thing that’s missing. And it might be in the shape of the curly haired lawyer who becomes Zayn’s new roommate.

Or, the One Where…. Louis is a Broadway actor, Harry is a newly graduated lawyer, Liam is a radio DJ, Zayn is an English Professor at NYU, and Niall is a music producer. A Friends AU.

all strings attached by moonshinelouis

“I’m being serious, Harry. You’re lovely. If no one, so far, has wanted you for good, it’s because they’re fools,” Louis punctuates with a curt nod and a long sip of her drink.

“If that were true, I would've had you in my bed a long time ago.”

friends au. girl direction.

Pizza Boy by @dinosaursmate

“You just flirted with the pizza boy. On your anniversary! Liam’s in the next room!!” “Alright, alright, calm down. I was not flirting, I was just being friendly.” “Unbelievable.” Harry scoffed, expressing his irritation. Niall joined them in the kitchen, pulling open the pizza box greedily and helping himself to a slice. “Harry’s just upset ‘cause you flirted with his boy.” Niall smirked. - Harry fancies the pizza boy and attempts to flirt.

Based on the Friends episode The One Where Ross Can't Flirt.

Double Date by @dinosaursmate

“You looking forward to tonight?” Niall frowned as he sat down, before his eyes widened. “Oh, tonight.” He cleared his throat. “So you, um, spoke to your friend?” “Yeah, she’s up for it. I had to oversell you a bit, you understand, but I’m sure she’ll love you either way. Just… be charming. Try your best, anyway.” Niall nodded, chewing on his thumbnail. “Sure, yeah.” “So, tell me about my guy.” Harry grinned. “What’s he like?” “Oh, you know…” Niall shrugged, huffing and staring at his phone distractedly. “It’s a surprise. But he’s great. I wouldn’t set you up with him otherwise, would I?” - Harry and Niall set each other up on blind dates, except Niall completely forgets to find Harry a date. Based on that Phoebe/Mike Friends storyline.

Wearing Nothing But Your Kiss by @dinosaursmate

The lift stopped and Harry sighed, picking up the shopping bag and looking up. They weren’t at his floor; in fact, they were at no floor. The lift seemed to have lost power, the lights flickering off and he was plunged into the relative darkness of a dim emergency light. “Great.” The man in the lift with Harry sighed, then quickly crossed the small space and pressed the alarm button to no response. Harry watched him with dull curiosity before… shit. It was that guy! Something Tomlinson, and if Harry wasn’t mistaken, he’d just been nominated for an Oscar. He dropped the shopping bag to the floor, his palms sweating. --- Harry gets stuck in a lift with that actor with the incredible arse and tries to remember how to function as a human being.

Your Plans and Those Slow Hands by sweetums / @darlou

"Louis, people are looking."

Just as he says that, Louis looks up to see a man at a small table, alone and perched on a stool, holding a cup of coffee. Instead of drinking his coffee, he's openly gawking at Louis.

"What are you looking at?"

Louis addresses him sharply. He'll be damned if he’s the one made to feel embarrassed. This is Liam's intervention. On second thought though, this man is quite attractive. Brunette curls, amazing jawline, big hands and even better arms by the looks of his biceps bursting out of that black t-shirt.

"I mean, hi."

-

AU based on that episode of Friends where Monica makes sex noises when she gets massaged. Harry and Louis meet at a coffee shop at the expense of Liam's embarrassment and Louis gets well and truly wooed by Harry's dating abilities.

Your Good Side by sweetums / @darlou

“Hi, I’m Harry. I don’t think we’ve met yet, just wanted to say I’m excited to work with you.” Harry says once he’s walked over, smiling at Louis. He would go for a handshake but that seems a bit too formal maybe.

“Hi, are you one of the extras?” Louis responds, clearly trying to be polite and failing. Harry feels himself start to frown.

“Er, no, I’m Harry, Harry Styles? I play Alex.” he explains. Obviously he’s not egotistic enough to think everyone on set should know who he is. But then again, they did so far.

“Ohhh, the pop star right?” Louis quips.

And okay. That’s probably the most blatant anyone has been about their preconceptions of him.

“Well, yeah, I’m in a band if that’s what you mean. We’re on a hiatus right now but we’re still working on music.” he says, trying not to be affected by Louis’ condescension.

“Right, so not an actor. Just a way to get us more press.” It’s annoying but Louis’ slight smirk really suits him. He’s literally standing there insulting Harry but Harry feels almost charmed. Still offended, though.

AU where Harry can't seem to win over his Dunkirk co-star. Inspired by Joey and Kate from Friends.

Anywhere With You by sweetums / @darlou

“Do you want some gum?” Louis’ lovely voice interrupts his train of thoughts.

“No, thank you.” Harry responds quickly.

What? ‘No, thank you’? What was he thinking? If Louis Tomlinson offers you gum, you take it. If Louis Tomlinson offers you a vial of vomit, you take it.

“On second thought, gum would be perfection.” Harry actually considers just dying right there as he reaches over to pry the piece of gum out of Louis’ perfect little hand, eyes flitting over to the other man’s amused face.

Why did he say that? He could’ve said, ‘I’ll have some gum’ or ‘gum would be great’ or even a simple ‘thanks’ but no, no, for Harry, ‘gum would be perfection’.

He loathes himself.

-

AU where Harry gets stuck in an ATM vestibule with Louis Tomlinson during a blackout. Inspired by Chandler and Jill Goodacre from Friends.

Put In Them Hours by sweetums / @darlou

“How did the interviews go?” Liam asks later that same day.

Louis is over at their flat again, this time because he has no beer in his own fridge. Niall has the ability to magically conjure up beer so it’s only natural to migrate here.

“Good, good.” Louis says, looking far too interested in the bowl of crinkle cut chips in front of him.

“Okay. So, do you know who you’re choosing?”

“I’ve narrowed it down to two people.” Louis admits. “One of them is really well qualified. Her name is Caroline, she’s been an assistant in fashion for like ten years and we get along well.”

They boys nod along.

“And the other one?” Niall asks.

“He’s the love of my life.”

-

AU where Louis makes the poor decision of hiring an unfairly attractive assistant. Inspired by Rachel and Tag from Friends.

Best Served Cold by sweetums / @darlou

“I uh,” Harry coughs. “Don’t know if you remember this but in the school nativity play after that, you pulled down my trousers.”

Louis winces. He doesn’t really remember considering how many pranks he’s pulled but that sounds like something he did.

-

AU where Harry bumps into the boy who humiliated him in Year 2. His plan of revenge is hard to carry out when said boy is quite possibly the loveliest person on earth. Inspired by Chandler and Susie (Julia Roberts) from Friends.

Whirlwind by sweetums / @darlou

“Noisy boys over at that table there, yes, you two, would you like to share something with us?” ...

“I was just saying that you’re probably the only person who’s ever literally taken my breath away"

Good boy by 28sunflowers | E | 2768 Harry is startled out of his thoughts by the needle going over one of his ribs. Thankfully, he catches himself and manages to stay still, but accidentally lets out a whimper at the unexpected stronger burn. He exhales slowly when Louis takes the gun off his skin, trying to remain calm. “Good boy,” Louis tells him automatically, giving him a pat to the hip.

Soft Wings by kingsofeverything | G | 4375 Harry is a Dolly Parton fan who wants to get a tattoo in tribute to her. Louis is the tattoo artist.

take your whole life then you put a line through it by sunflower_lwt | M | 5332 an AU with trans harry, an all-knowing cousin, and tattoo artist louis.

lemongrass and sleep by moonshinelouis | E | 5370 Louis is a tattoo artist and Harry wants a rose tattoo.

I See Your Colours and I'm Dying of Thirst by taking_sweet_time | nr | 6244 Harry asks Louis for a tattoo, but forgets to mention that he's got a little bit of a... problem when it comes getting inked. Shenanigans ensue. Or, a very dumb fic about Harry's fucking whale (maybe) tattoo.

Makes Me Feel Alive by hazzahtomlinson | E | 8372 Louis hated when people came in to get tattooed and couldn’t sit still— bunch of fucking squares is what they were. If only that had been the issue for his newest client.

A Simple Twisted Fate by Cyantific | E | 18125 Global rock star Harry Styles has some time to kill between tour dates and stumbles into a Doncaster tattoo shop with a desire for some new ink. He has a few other desires as well, but those he must keep to himself. Louis Tomlinson, owner of Twisted Fate Tattoos, has seen enough of the tabloids and thinks he knows everything there is to know about this world-famous rock star, and he’s not impressed. Harry may be one of the world's biggest stars known for a lavish lifestyle, crazy parties and entourages of women wherever he goes, but he’s more than just what his image and wild reputation suggests. Things take an interesting turn when Louis finds out he’s been helping satisfy Harry’s voracious pain kink. Bet he'd love to know that not only is Louis a gifted tattoo artist, but an experienced Dom as well. Perhaps they both have something to learn from each other, if only Louis would give Harry a chance. Maybe their paths crossing was more than just a twist of fate, but the universe’s plan all along.

Necessity is the mother of invention by words_of_my_own | E | 87502 Louis is the owner of a couple of tattoo studios that are not for tattooing purposes only. Harry works as a policeofficer and infiltrator, currently on a case that really only should be straight forward. What happens when things aren't what they seem, morals come into play, and when you fall in love with the one person you just shouldn't?

In a Little Bit of Trouble by QuickedWeen | T | 4836 Agent Louis Tomlinson is in hot water and finds help in the most unlikely of places: the sweet waitress at her local automat.

The Hardest Hue to Hold | E | 4940 "Can someone write a 1950 smut and Louis is a greaser while Harry is rich... I think you call them Socs? Please? They fuck in a car and make it super smutty and loud."

a shepherd and a sailor by goldearring | E | 12668 Liam's life has been mundane since his family fled the Blitz for a small farm, but everything changes when a foulmouthed sailor falls out of the sky.

two wheels of a different pair (but we're still rolling into something we don't know) by zouee | G | 14136 “Does it get tiring?” Louis asks, voice coming out softer than anticipated. The response doesn’t come right away. For a moment, Louis thinks Zayn might actually be asleep; pulled under quickly despite their surroundings. Then he thinks Zayn’s making a point to ignore him and he considers leaving - the rejection making his heart sting. But in the next moment Zayn remains stone-still as he replies, mouth only moving slightly. “What does?” Louis turns his head, looks at him, “Pretending you don’t care.” _ When an out of town bikie storms into a restaurant placed on the outskirts, he doesn’t expect to meet the boy with bright eyes and devilish smile. Set in the 1950’s.

Oh Lover Man, Broken Mirror, Lonely Star by sureaintmebabe | E | 14497 Louis is sitting at the corner of the bar dividing his attention between Harry and the man sitting dejectedly on a stool right in front of him. Harry isn't a novelty. Neither is the girl with him. The man at the bar, though. That's new. And Louis... Well, Louis is tired of heartache.

the dead things we carry by MediaWhore | M | 25316 September ‘49 He hasn’t seen him since that day in France, that horrible muddy day where for one terrifyingly long second, Louis really thought he was going to die. He winces with the phantom pain, the hand not holding his cane going to his stomach automatically, remembering the franticness, the tenderness, of Harry’s hands while Louis was bleeding out. This is the man who saved Louis’ life. For one second, Louis fears Harry won’t recognise him, but his eyes widen when he turns to his left and they meet Louis’. He takes a step forward, reaching for him with a shaky hand before stopping himself. “Louis,’ Harry says with a shudder and Louis doesn’t think his name has ever carried more weight. This is the only man Louis ever thought about kissing for real. “Oh,” Mrs. Padley says, clearly taken aback. “You two know each other?” There are some things people never fully come home from. Until, one day, if they’re lucky, home comes to them.

a perpetual sunrise by moonshinelouis | M | 31343 Louis Tomlinson lives the archetype of a successful man: he has a big white house, a gorgeous wife, and adorable daughters. Happiness is a superfluity, really. And his daughters' dimpled piano teacher is nothing more than a sinful distraction. 1950s AU.

The Case Of The (Definitely Not Haunted) Styles Mansion by BriaMaria | E | 40271 “So there’s a sense of humor buried beneath all that condescension, huh?” Louis said when he’d stopped laughing. “It’s not condescension, it’s intelligence. I understand you might not be able to recognize it yourself,” Marcel said, then slapped a hand over his mouth. “Oh god, I’m sorry.” Louis stepped closer, his eyes on Marcel’s face. “For being an asshat?” “For being rude,” Marcel said, from beneath his palm. Louis shifted a half-step closer until he was at the very edge of Marcel’s personal space. It felt like he was nudging at it, asking to be let in. Marcel flushed hot for no reason. “Lucky for you it takes quite a lot to actually insult me,” Louis said taking one step closer. Too close. Too close. Marcel met Louis’ eyes. Those blue eyes that reminded Marcel of poetry instead of science, lyrics instead of formulas. They were so pretty he wanted to drown in them. --- Or the Nancy Drew AU where Marcel is a man of logic, Louis is a private detective who believes in ghosts, and the Styles Mansion is definitely, absolutely, positively *not* haunted.
