I know you probably get this ask a lot, but do you know any new-ish rivals to lovers fics set in high school/college/uni? preferably long ones 🥹 (i already went through your hs/uni tag on the big rec thingy)

thank you ❤️‍🩹

Hi, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some more recent ones for you! I've read the first one, but the other two looked good as well and like what you're looking for!

Springbrooke by skipper / @skipperxao3

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.

The Exceptionals by Mia_Small

It's 1984.

First impressions may be misleading, but that doesn’t stop Louis from wanting to know about the notorious boy with absent eyes and a mocking smile who is purposefully trying to ruin his life.

Or an 80s College AU where Louis absolutely detests Harry and his cocky personality... until he doesn't?

Can't Buy My Love, Can Buy Me Dinner

by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13

Is it ethical to accept a dinner date for the free food? And will you hate me when I go anyway? Fact 1: Louis hates Harry Styles. Fact 2: Louis is temporarily living off toast and spaghetti hoops. Fact 3: ...Louis may be semi-accidentally dating his worst enemy.

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

Baby, Teach Me How To by @fallinglikethis

At 10 am, the door to the studio classroom shuts with a bang that makes Harry jolt in his seat at the sound of it. He turns to see an absolutely gorgeous man standing there, hand still on the doorknob. His hair falls in a windswept swoop over his brow and he’s got a sexy scruff on his cheeks that Harry immediately can’t help imagining between his thighs. The man’s eyes shine with mirth, lips quirked into a wicked grin at having gotten a reaction from nearly everyone in the room. Harry watches him with unfettered curiosity, idly thinking he’d be a beautiful subject for a portrait as the man’s hand falls from the door.

“Hello, class,” he says, clapping his hands in front of him and Harry’s eyes have a hard time staying in his head.

 This is Professor Tomlinson?

 Or

Louis is Harry's art professor and they both know it's forbidden to fall in love. Somehow, they manage to anyway.

NSFW by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings

Harry thinks that his day couldn't possibly get any worse when he leaves the advising office and is forced to take a boring art lecture of all things, but he soon finds out that his entire schedule being dropped and pretty much ruined for the semester might have been the best fuck up that life has ever handed him.

roll like thunder, burn like stars by hilourry

In a world where the hierarchy of society is omegas and they get to pick their alphas. Omega Louis really wants Professor Harry Styles as his alpha.

don’t even need to touch me, baby, just breathe on me. by ballsdeepinjesus

About three things Harry Styles is absolutely positive. First, he definitely did not read all four Twilight books. Second, there is a part of him – and he knows exactly how potent that part of him is – that wants to test the science behind sucking Professor Tomlinson’s brain out through his dick. And third, Harry is unconditionally and irrevocably in lust with his Professor. So yes, Harry Styles is a cliché. He’s seen this plotline unfold in porn all the time. He’s not sure if leaning over his desk and offering up his arse for a spanking will yield the same results, however.

"You alright there, lad?”

Harry startled, and drew his hand away so fast it hit the coffee cup, spilling it on the tawny brown table and the dry brownies, which became soggy enough soon. The ‘oh shit’ from the enabler of the crime goes unheard as Harry scrambles to move his precious laptop away from the mess. It gets a little too hard to breathe, a little too stuffy, everything feels uncomfortable and too sudden and hard to comprehend and there’s a yellow rag and someone’s wiping the table and it goes round and round and round…

“Hey! Earth to pretty boy! Are you alright?”

Harry blinks, heartbeat running a goddamned marathon and skin tingling like Velcro tape. It takes him a moment to focus but when he finally lands his gaze on the boy, well, his world kind of stops. ***

Hi, anon, so I think I got pretty close with the vibes of these fics. They've got the popular/unpopular thing going on with the popular one having a significant other for part of the fic because I feel like that's the vibes of 'I Would'

Follow Your Arrow by Anonymous

Harry was the golden child, blessed in every way; Niall was the charming miscreant, a bad boy; Liam was the future-son-in-law parents of daughters dreamt of, and Zayn was the kid parents wished was their son. But Louis, Harry thought, Louis was the special one. 

It's senior year and everything is about to change.

That Smile and That Midnight Laugh by yeah_alright / @uhoh-but-yeah-alright

Harry’s never noticed how lovely Louis really is. Maybe it’s just that she’s usually so guarded – a little tense, a little irritated, a little put out. At least when she’s at school, and also usually when she’s around Nick, which are the only times Harry has really seen her. Until tonight. Tonight Harry’s seen her with her guard completely down. Too busy laughing and enjoying herself to remember to be prickly, maybe. She seems different.

It feels different.

A Ferris Bueller's Day Off AU that picks up right where the movie leaves off, and imagines what might happen if Ferris' girlfriend and sister become friends. And maybe something more, too.

Thankss

Hi! You're very welcome! Here are some boarding school fics for you!

(i didn't mean to) fall in love tonight by @zouisclimax

Harry texts him back a thumbs up emoji before leaning forward and throwing up again. He groans, but stands after he’s done, wiping his mouth with toilet paper, and flushing the toilet.

He washes his mouth out as best as he can before steeling himself and heading back to class, trying his best not to cry. He tells himself that there is no point in worrying when he doesn’t even know if there is anything to worry about yet.

He still feels sick.

[or, the American boarding school AU where Harry's infatuated with Louis and one night flips his whole world upside-down]

with venom on your tongue by wildestdreams / @thelavendrhaze

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.

Born on Third Base by kiddle / @bluejeanlouis

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: One Direction (Band) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson Characters: Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Fluff, Meet-Cute, Coffee, First Dates, this is just a fluffy lil story, harry and louis falling in love as usual, One Shot Summary:

Louis has a crush on the prettiest boy he’s ever seen — the curly-haired guy who sits next to him in his Community Psych class and brings strangely-colored drinks to class with him each day.

And because Louis is incapable of flirting with someone so lovely, all he manages to do is ask about said drinks every day.

 “I think it could be like this all the time,” Harry says. “I know it doesn’t make sense but I think you should consider it. I could make you happy if you let me.”
