The Prince and The YouTuber by haztobegood / @haztobegood

The Annual Rosendal Spring Gala hosted by the Royal Family is the most prestigious fundraiser in the country. When a problem with the honorary foundation arises, Crown Prince Louis Tomlinson must pick a new worthy foundation on short notice. He discovers the perfect replacement in an unlikely place, while watching his favorite YouTuber, Harrysparkles.

i hope that you won't slip away in the night by vintagehistories / @adoredontour

He turns back to Maybe Jessica. “Who’s going to be here?”

“Harry Styles,” she says. “The one-”

“I know who he is,” Louis snaps. “Who invited him?”

“Uh, you did, sir.”

Louis didn’t think that was serious. When he had responded to Harry’s cheeky tweet about the gala with his own cheeky ‘You should come - I’ll put you on the guest list’ he hadn’t expected anything to come of it. Least of all for Harry to show up.

Bloom by LadyAJ_13 / @ladyaj-13

In early 1970s Oxford, Detective Sergeant Louis Tomlinson has to deal with the dual pressures of a case that hits too close to home, and the arrival of new colleague Liam Payne. Payne is both the bane of his existence and, uh... dangerous. Very dangerous. His eyes, that is. His lips. The way he stands.

A story of rain and cobblestones, cigarettes, and repression. And the sunshine after the storm.

another friday night by wabadabadaba

Louis Tomlinson thought signing to BMG would mean he would be free to make his own choices.

He should have known better.

Tasked with getting a public girlfriend, Louis decides to try his hand at finding the right woman himself. From the moment he met Lennon Adair he felt a connection with her but he had no idea how deep that connection would go.

absolutely, babes! how about two from each?

Tightrope by SadaVeniren / @sadaveniren

Louis knows he and Harry are going to be together for the rest of their lives and one day they were going to get married and have three point five children, a dog, and two cats. But life hasn't matched up perfectly yet and that time is not now. So they are both happy to be best friends and casually date other people until life decides they really should get their shit together.

aka Louis gets pregnant from "one last time" sex and he and Harry somehow think they'll be able co-parent without it being weird for anyone (most especially their new boyfriends).

A Hand to Hold and a Hand Held by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup

When Harry goes to the One Direction concert one year with his sister, he doesn't expect to go home with the amazing Louis Tomlinson himself.

But then, he really doesn't expect that night to have an impact on the rest of his life either.

After his flight was delayed, Harry showed up stressed out, exhausted, and four hours late for his date with Louis.

Seven Minutes in Heaven by Canadianlarrie (canadianlarrie) / @canadianlarrie this fic is locked and therefore requires an ao3 account to read

It’s musty, it's confined and its where lost musical instruments go to die. It also happens to be where Harry and Louis are currently standing after being forced into the alcove under the basement stairs at Niall’s house for Seven Minutes in Heaven.

First kisses rarely happen as imagined – they’re awkward, ill-timed and sloppy af.

The one where Harry and Louis kiss and the whole thing’s kind of a hot glorious mess.

Dancing Shadows by SadaVeniren / @sadaveniren

The house was quiet by the time Louis walked up to it. He’d been away for a week and while it wasn’t the longest he’d ever been away from the pack, it was the longest he’d been away from Harry and the kids.

Something To Remember by parmahamlarrie / @parmahamlarrie

Every time you meet your soulmate, the event is marked on your skin forever in the form of a corresponding tattoo in roughly the same place on both of your bodies. Sometimes, it takes a few tries before you piece together who that person is, leading some to be more covered in soulmarks than others.

Travel writer Louis Tomlinson has no tattoos.

Neither does singer and actor Harry Styles.

Will a trip to Maui’s most exclusive and private resort bring these two soulmates together, or will their bodies be constant reminders of what they missed out on?

of course, darling!

Falling Down For You by theweightofmywords

If there was an alpha that Louis wanted to call his, it would be Harry. But what happens when an arranged marriage, a hungry press, and doubts get in the way?

Nothing But You On My Mind by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense this fic is locked and therefore requires an ao3 account to read

Louis Tomlinson is a PR manager hired to improve the image of royal bad-boy Prince Harry Styles. Unfortunately for him, that means being faced with the Prince's constant innuendos, incessant dirty jokes, and relentless flirting. Louis just wants to make it to Princess Gemma's coronation; once she's crowned Queen, his contract is up and he never has to see the Prince again.

don't you call him baby by Femstyles / @femstyles

But now, eleven months later, as his Uber pulls up outside the bar, Harry thinks he can absolutely handle this. He's going to walk into Liam's birthday party where the ex-love of his life is also going to be and he's going to show Louis that he can be a mature adult about everything that’s happened in the last year.

Or the one where Harry is absolutely doing fine and is definitely not still hung up on Louis. Except he is.

to kill the mess we've made by missandrogyny / @missandrogyny

And when he's finally standing, Liam fussing over him, rubbing his hand at the red mark blooming on Harry's forehead, does Harry learn two things:

One, he wasn't actually hit that hard, and Tommo--or Louis, rather--is just as pretty when Harry is staring at him head-on and,

Two, Louis is the Adidas model he's going to be working with on today's photo shoot.

(or: AU where Harry and Louis are both models, and they decide being friends-with-benefits is a great idea. It isn't.)

If these have been asked go to the next number loll

7, 28, 77, 88, 102.

If these have been asked lmk I'll ask more numbers lol

see, that's the fun of this set up. multiple people can ask for the same page and still get different fics since each one can hold up to 20 hehe

that said, i think i'll do something a bit different for yours and i'll give you a single fic off of each page instead of three fics off of one :D

Train Tracks and Porcelain by jaerie / @jaerie

At the first hint of light, Louis was slowly brought back to consciousness by the growing swell of activity around him. It started in the distance with loud clanks and clatters and rose with the hollers of men and thudding of boots against the solid earth. He listened as he blinked the sleep out of his eyes and tried to place any sounds he was familiar with. It took him too long to remember that he wasn’t back in his rented room. The energy was what floated to him next, a buzz that made him peek through the leaves to see what was going on.

The next moments happened in the strange slow motion of dawn. Shadows were forming into people and things and, there in the middle of it, Louis watched the humongous head of an elephant emerge from a box car right in front of his eyes.

Or a Water For Elephants inspired AU

Frankly My Dear, I Don't Give a Damn by MsHydeStylinson / @mizzhydes

Harry wakes up with a god awful hangover and soon discovers there are pictures of him and a hot guy blasted all over social media. The problem is, Harry has no idea who this mystery man is, and doesn’t even remember meeting him...

With their newfound compatibility and a dash of sexual chemistry, things quickly heat up between them. The plan was to have fun with the remaining days that Louis is in Los Angeles, nothing too serious, and get back to the real world in the UK. Well, sometimes things don’t always go as planned.

Or,

It felt almost impossible how swiftly and powerfully love had hit him when he finally had found the person to fall into it with. It was never meant to be like this. Three more days and Louis would be gone; out of his life almost as soon as he had appeared. From the beginning there had been this silent agreement about how their relationship would be and it had always come with an expiration date and at the time Harry had figured that it was better than nothing from Louis at all.

But now, after his realisation, he wasn’t ready to give up so quickly. Harry decided in that moment there must be a way to change their trajectory.

Gracious Goes the Ghost of You by haloeverlasting / @haloeverlasting

And there it was again. That heaviness, that shift in the air that makes everything feel just a little slower. It’s like just moving forward makes him sore from the exertion. It’s not in the least physical, it’s his heart and mind and soul that feels stretched and pushed too far. It’s those moments, where his heart feels like it’s thudding only because it still can, that Louis feels the itch to glance at the clock. When he aches to know how long it’s been and maybe a part of him is wondering how long it will be. If this time, when he checks the clock, he’ll feel the same shame for his long stint of grief, but it will be followed by some sort of pride. He’s made it this far, and “because it still can” is a perfectly good reason for his heart to keep beating.

“What are you thinking about?” Harry asks.

Louis hums, shifting a little to rest his head on top of Harry’s. “Is this your new question?"

“Yeah,” he whispers, softly.

“Just… thinking about how long it’s been. And how long it may be before it doesn’t hurt so much anymore."

Harry is a ghost who comes to visit. Louis feels like a ghost, himself. In forgiveness, they find their way back to life.

Gucci Down To My Drawers by Beanno28 / @beanno28

Louis has been hired by Gucci to photograph the one and only Harry Styles. The shoot doesn't go quite as he plans but he isn't coming to complain when all is said and done.

OR The five times Louis is innocently caught in a compromising position and the one time it's not so innocent.

aww thank you, love. i used to have the time and energy to do this kind of thing a lot more often, and it brought me so much joy when times around here were often difficult. it has been a long time since i've been able to do that, though, and it felt like the right way to not only honor liam and the rest of the boys, but to also show some love to everyone here in a way i can manage to do today.

Behind closed doors by bluegreenish / @greenblueish

“You should ask that whoever he’s currently fucking.”

Liam’s eyes grow wide.

“No.” His tone is unbelieving, just like Louis’ would’ve been if you had told him what turn today would take.

“Yes.”

“How do you know?”

Louis’ room mate’s eyes barely leave him as he tries to untie his shoes without looking.

“Went to his dorm earlier, found a sock on his door handle. He’s such an arsehole.”

or, the one where omega Louis finds a sock on alpha Harry's door handle that causes a big misunderstanding but is also the beginning of something new.

I'm Weaker Without You by The_Halcyonic_Lachesist / @chai-hat-tea

Alpha Lord Louis Tomlinson is a rake who refuses to settle down. Will he settle down for the Society's most talked about Omega? What about the enticing scent that belongs to the Beta? How will he react to said Beta pursuing the Omega too?

they say looks can kill (and i might try) by LiveLaughLoveLarry (SoLongAndThanksForAllTheFic) / @loveislarryislove

There is little Louis loves more than the look on a would-be criminal’s face when he falls from the sky. They never see it coming – which seems ridiculous, since they live in a city with dozens of superheroes. But then again, most of those “heroes” are CowellCorp’s pet monkeys, and CowellCorp isn’t all that concerned with helping ordinary folks.

Louis is, though. So when he looks into an alley and spots a man gripping a woman’s arm hard enough to bruise, he does the logical thing: he fires an arrow that neatly peels the man’s hat off his head and pins it to the wall behind him.

Isn’t that what anyone would do?

~*~

Once, Louis walked the streets as Ranger, a proud member of the CowellCorp Crusaders. With their training and tech, he thought he'd be able to fight evil and protect those in need.

Then he realized the evil people needed protecting from was the very company that had built him into a "hero" in the first place.

Now he walks those same streets as Rogue, a vigilante who makes his own justice - and he's making damn sure that justice is coming for CowellCorp too.
