I read one recently and have been hunting for more!

Thank you :))

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

searching for a sweet surrender (but this is not the end) by feelslikehxme

Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, the two most loved coaches on The Voice UK known for their banter on the show and best friendship off. Louis’s determined to win and finally end Harry’s winning streak with Zayn Malik on his team, but Harry’s flirting and Liam Payne have different plans.

— Or an AU based off the Voice where Louis’s Adam, Harry’s Blake, Niall’s Shakira, Zayn and Liam have a cliche Romeo/Juliet love story and Louis’s too old for pathetic pining.

One More Time by BostonKatie617

One More Time is an AU fic, in which One Direction was a four-piece without Louis. Louis works in book publishing and lives in the Boston area where he supports his mum, who is stuck in a nursing home without any hope of recovery.

But while working too hard and caring too much, our protagonist Louis Tomlinson is granted one more extraordinary chance to recover from a broken heart… Maybe find some love… Help some friends… And definitely exact some revenge during an epic singing competition. An epic singing competition that just may include Harry Styles tripping down a stairwell and into the arms of a certain someone.

Is Louis brave enough to put it all on the line one more time?

No One Could Deny by thirstingdragon

harry styles appreciation post cause i love him :)

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

Remember Me Fondly by kiddle / @bluejeanlouis

“You’ve told the beginning of the story so many times. I want to hear the end.” Louis laughed, scratching at his chin. “I can’t say I really know when the end happened.” “How about the tour of ninety-five?” “Alright.” Louis took a deep breath. “But it took a few steps to get there. What would you like to know?” Penny cleared her throat. “How did you first meet Harry Styles?” Grunge legends Fearless Doe topped the rock charts in the ‘90s, but they spent the decade kicking Smudge off their heels. From lawsuits to jaw-dropping scandals and a surprising joint world tour, the two bands share a complicated history.

Twenty-five years later, frontmen Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are finally ready to sit down and tell the world their two sides of the same story.

Truth may vary.

Want you more than a melody by Dome_28_afavour

'He takes a step back from Louis, undoing one button on his already half-undone blue shirt and revealing a tattoo-littered torso.

Louis is about to ask him just who gave him permission to undress, when he follows the line of Harry's ringed fingers to where they graze over his own stomach. Just under a large butterfly tattoo on his sternum is a word in bold type: 'LOUIS'.

Harry has a tattoo of Louis' name. They have matching tattoos. What in the everliving fuck.

Louis takes a deep breath, trying for a measured response. It takes him what feels like a few eternities to speak.

"We've got matching tattoos. Of each other's names." He deadpans. "And we've only met once."

Harry grins. "Well, I wouldn't say that. At points last night I was pretty sure we'd met in other dimensions."

What does that even mean? What the fuck does that even mean?

Louis has a tattoo on his neck, and it's of this freak's name. Insanely attractive freak, sure. A freak he had a one night stand with. But a freak nonetheless...'

Or, the one where Harry and Louis are in rival bands and get drunken matching tattoos, and Liam is Zayn's new bandmate who is definitely straight, except when they're alone.

These Violent Delights (Have Violent Ends) by sweetharry

Of course, about a week after their disastrous first encounter, the massive twitter feud exploded, dividing their groups; which lead Harry to assume that Louis Tomlinson hated him and only remembers him from one uncomfortable eye-fucking experience in a public toilet. But now, he’s here and Harry forgets about all of that. He forgets the fact that for some god forsaken reason he found Zayn more attractive in pictures, because right now Louis Tomlinson is standing in front of him glowing like the sun, and Harry’s heart beating is out of his chest.

and was IN LOVE with it!

Do you know of any similar fics, with singing shows and competitions that aren't the X factor?

Thank you!!

Hi, anon! You're welcome! I'll have to check out that fic! Here are some more fics with singing competitions!

Out of the Wild by @jaerie

Louis has spent most of his life as a wolf in the wild, Harry has spent most of his life as a human in the city. Their worlds collide during the audition process for the hottest new singing competition. What happens next should have expected.

All Shook Up by @littleroverlouis

Memphis, Tennessee is looking to crown the Ultimate Elvis Tribute artist. A majority of the contestants are content to shake their hips on stage, but singer-songwriter Harry is taking it more seriously. He is confident his voice and charisma will send him straight through to the finals.

He is already polishing his crown before even setting foot on stage, until he meets a fellow competitor. Louis is talented, charming, and a natural born performer. He commands the stage— and Harry's attention.

Harry has his eye on the prize and the Ultimate title, but what happens when someone becomes the ultimate prize?

The Words I Sing by irishvelvet

Louis is enjoying his Hiatus when his management decides that it'd be best for him to be one of the coaches in the upcoming reality show, Next Big Star. He is tasked to find a prodigy he could train, but then he finds Harry. And Harry, he's just everything and so much more.

Hmmm...Okay, so maybe like singer/athlete fics...let me know if you were thinking of a different kind of thing here...

burn this flame by rainbowninja167 / @rainbowtitania

“You’ve played keeper before?” Tomlinson asks suspiciously, hands on his waist.

“Er, yeah,” Harry coughs. “Loads of times.”

“Alright Popstar, if you’re sure,” Tomlinson tells him with a shrug, his professional expression already curling into laughter. Harry tries not to read too much into it. After all, how hard can goalkeeping really be?

When Harry gets invited to play in a celebrity charity match with Louis Tomlinson, Manchester United's star player, he's determined to impress him with brilliant football skills. The only flaw in Harry's otherwise foolproof plan? He has absolutely no football skills, brilliant or otherwise.

so grab your passport and my hand by @infinitelymint

The one in which Louis plays football and Harry sings a lot, and somehow that means they're meant to be. They'll figure it out soon enough.

Glass Closets and Greenhouses by TiredTiredTz

Charlton Athletic defender Louis Tomlinson and worldwide sex symbol Harry Styles are rumoured to be hooking up after a viral video filmed at Harry’s Wembley show was posted online by Tommo’s twin sisters.

Sources close to the pair tell us the couple have been dating for a while, with rumours of house hunting, marriage and even kids on the cards!
