1ļøā£ You Smell LikeĀ byĀ mystic_believexx {M, 185k}
For her part, Jay took everything in her stride, barely batting an eyelid when Louis came into the kitchen the night Harry left and said, āI seem to have accidentally become the packās Alphaā.Ā
Ever since Harry left town, Louisā found himself with the role of pack Alpha, despite being human. So he canāt wait to hand over the reins when Harry returns. Except, itās not quite that simpleā¦
OR The one where Louis is the Alphaās mate and everyone is aware of it except for Louis and Harry. Go figure!
2ļøā£ RogueĀ byĀ Laventriloque {NR, 95k}
Werewolf AU 'cause there aren't enough already :)
āNo, Liam! How many times do I have toā¦ before you finallyā¦ NO WAY ā¦ a rogue in our pack?ā¦ cannot trust him ā¦ donāt care to know him ā¦ have enough members to worry about.ā
He hears more indistinct shouts before he hears pretty clearly: āHis own pack didnāt want him!ā
Sitting here, his precious bag between his feet and everyone in the room looking at him, some with pity, some with disdain, some with curiosity, Louis feels like someone squeezed his heart in their hands and isnāt letting it go. He wills his head to stay up high and his posture to stay confident. He will not flee the room. He will not let that stupid lump in his throat get the better of him. He will stay here until Liam returns. He will take the rejection in stride and move on. Like heās been doing all his life."
Louis is a rogue Omega who's suffered through rejection and abuse for the biggest part of his life. He stumbles onto the Styles pack, quite possibly the kindest one he's ever met.
3ļøā£ my heart is breathing for this moment in timeĀ byĀ usedtothebeach {E, 159k}
When Louis first saw Harry at the 2010 X Factor Auditions, he thought he was watching a peculiarly special stranger. But Harry has known Louis ever since he was five years old.
Because Louis has a rare genetic disorder that causes him to Time Travel to important moments in his past and in his future - and to Harry, always to Harry. When they're put into a band together, it seems like everything Harry has been waiting and wishing for has finally come true. Except for the small fact that Louis doesn't know that Harry is in love with him- that Harry's always been in love with him. Fate, it would seem, is just getting started.
A story about growing up and growing together, and the impossible love that makes it all worthwhile.
4ļøā£ Hiding PlaceĀ byĀ orphan_account {E, 365k}
Louis never wanted a soulmate, didnāt really care for the whole Bonding thing at all, really. Enter Harry Styles, whoās wanted to be Bonded for as long as he could remember. With one fateful meeting in an X Factor bathroom, Louis gets a dagger on his arm and the realization that just because Harry is his soulmate doesnāt mean itās mutual.
From the X Factor house to Madison Square Garden, from the Fountain Studios stage to stadiums across the world, Louis has to learn to love without losing himself completely, because someday his best friend will Bond to someone and replace Louis as the center of his universe. Meanwhile, Harry begins to think that maybe fate doesnāt actually know what itās doing after all, because his other half has clearly been right in front of him the whole time. All he has to do now is convince Louis to give them a chance.
Or, the canon compliant Harry and Louis love story from the very beginning, where the only difference is that the love between them is literally written on their skin, and thereās only so much they can hide.
5ļøā£ waiting for the tides to meetĀ by @nauticalleeds {E, 59k}
Louis lets out a deep breath, thinking about Harryās soulmate. Thinking about how Harryās soulmate is probably as beautiful as Harry, some person that Louis cannot compare to, and how the universe has chosen them to be Harryās. Fuck the universe. āFuck you,ā he calls out to the universe. Heās aware of how crazy he sounds.
Maybe he is crazy, with how heās falling for Harry. And fuck that, too.Ā
Soulmate AU. Everyone is born with heterochromia ā one eye is their own eye colour, while the other is the colour of their soulmate's. It's only when they meet their soulmate for the first time that their own eyes match properly. After a hazy night at a frat party, Louis wakes up to blue eyes and the shocking realization that he had met his soulmate, without any sober recollection. Seven years pass where Louis comes to terms with the fact that he'll never know who his soulmate is. Then one fated summer, a beautiful green-eyed photographer arrives at Louis' workplace, with promises of endless laughter and a familiar feeling in Louis' heart.
Featuring a lovely cup of OT5, a road trip down the coast, and a scene where Harry eats a whole head of lettuce. Don't ask why.
HIDDEN GEMS:
š saw some things on the other sideĀ byĀ we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {M, 61k}
When Louis moves into the mansion heās inherited from his great grandfather, he has a plan that consists of three things. One, heās going to finish writing the next novel in his series. Two, heās finally going to get over his ex-fiancĆ©. And three, while battling writerās block and having to resist the urge to kill off the main character in his books ā the hot detective based on his ex-fiancĆ© ā heās going to restore the mansion to its former glory.
Unfortunately, Louisā plan doesnāt take into account the fact that instead of writing murder mysteries, he will find himselfĀ inĀ one.
š I'm Weaker Without YouĀ byĀ The_Halcyonic_Lachesist / @chai-hat-tea {T, 20k}
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?
š The JournalĀ byĀ 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou ,Ā RecycledStardustĀ {G, 13k}
When Harry finds himself purchasing an antique journal in the ancient bookshop of a town he's never heard of, he doesn't exactly want to admit that he has no idea how he got there. A myriad of odd coincidences and a few kind smiles from the shopkeeper have the two of them working hard to solve the mystery of this strange journal that seems to have been waiting for Harry for almost a hundred and thirty years.
š Louis and the no good, very bad dayĀ byĀ @haztobegood {E, 4k}
Tap, tap. Honk!
Louis sits up quick. Over by the sliding glass door that leads to his small balcony, a white goose with bright orange beak taps at the glass.
Honk!
Louis collapses back into the bed with a groan. Just when he thought his day couldnāt get any worse, thereās a fucking goose stuck on his balcony.
š Whatās in a NameĀ by @hellolovers13 {T, 2k}
Louis had always known Harry was his soulmate.
The name on his arm disagreed.
But what did his soulmark know about true love anyway.
