Yesterday I was looking for a fic that I've read and it was part of the 1daboficfest, and I realized that the fest and the Tumblr is not longer available 🥲and now I'm really sad about it, because it was such an amazing festival, with such lovely persons involved... and it was also the only festival I was a part of... so yeah, I hope they can come back someday, it was so lovely

hello, I don’t know why I wrote bet on it (probably because the fic I mean is about a bet) ahah sorry. I mean play the odds by alivingfire. Can you recommend me some similar fics? Thank you!

Hi, anon, you're very welcome! Sorry it took me a while to get back to this. Here are some fics that have some similar tropes to Play the Odds...

ETA: I was assuming you'd already seen the rec I'd made for this before but it just occurred to me maybe you hadn't, so you can find that below (and the ones I recced here are different than those in the first rec). ✤ Fics Like Play the Odds

The Way You Make Me Feel by orphan_account

"You couldn't last a damn day without trying to sleep with me."

"I can last a whole fucking week," Harry says, rising to Louis' challenge.

"Wanna make a bet on that, Styles?"

"You're on," Harry grins.

Or, Disney AU where Louis and Harry try not to fuck in public places.

Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me by @marchessa

Prompt: Two friends go camping, but the tent is colder than expected once the sun goes down. How will they stay warm??? (BONUS: There is only one sleeping bag)

Or the one where Harry learns what happens when you go camping alone with your crush, he forgets his own sleeping bag at home, and the temperature drops several degrees at night. And if that’s not enough, you are deadly afraid of thunder, so of course, a storm catches you off guard in the middle of the night.

kiss me on the mouth (and set me free) by tempolarriefics / @tempolarriefix

Harry, being his endlessly patient self, asks with a wry smile, “And who am I going to spontaneously marry for financial aid?” 

He clearly intends for it to be a rhetorical question, for it to shoot down Louis’ ridiculous marriage idea. But Louis answers easily, “Me. You’ll marry me."

aka the not-so fake marriage AU in which Harry and Louis get married to keep Harry from dropping out of uni (and if they discover that they’re in love along the way, well, that’s neither here nor there).

I hate that people talk about him as an abuser, a horrible person.

I hate it because this judgement comes from alleged accusations from an alleged victim. Still the actions he will never take accountability for or make amends for will stick to him forever now.

There are actually convicted felons who got more respect than him ever did in his life.

Liam was a young boy, bullied in school.

He was a teenager bullied globally.

He then was a depressed young man with addiction and alcoholism disorders who was bullied to death.

And we have to sit here, his fans, his family, his friends, reading shit like “he got hate for a valid reason”.

No? the fuck he did?

No one deserves hate. No one deserves that amount of hate. The type of hate that drains the light and life out of a young man.

This hate killed Liam. Your “valid” hate.

The hate that put a veil of darkness upon his world, blinded him from seeing the love and kindness in his life to the point it wasn’t worth living anymore.

No one deserves that hate, you absolute morons. No one, not even actual convicted criminals.

They deserve a chance to understand how deeply wrong their actions were and start over with apologies and new premises for the better.

I’m home.

It was a strange day and in some ways it was worse than yesterday.

I slept barely 4 hours, was awake at 4 am and just waited for my alarm to ring for 1 hour and 50 minutes staring at the dark ceiling.

I also slept in my sisters bed, because yesterday night when I read Louis’ post on IG I felt an intense chest pain, that I only felt the night my grandma died. I was scared and couldn’t sleep alone.

I went to work in a total black outfit, was there awfully early. I didn’t speak. My colleague didn’t speak because he’s apparently very good at the reading the room.

I couldn’t even bother to wear my scrubs. I kept my black clothes. My black trousers, my black loafers, my black socks, my black cardigan. I even kept down my black hair.

It simply was a black heart day.

I barely spoke, only to expose clinical cases to my tutor doctor.

I was running down a fever at some point, because I was hot and then cold and then my eyes burnd and my voice was cracked and I felt so much pain in my muscles, I wanted to just go home and lay down.

I almost forgot I had blood tests to check. I went there saying “my veins are difficult, just take this [showed my radial vein on my pulse], I dont want to waste your time*. He didn’t even hear me probably, I don’t know. What I know is he tried for another vein and failed.

I was looking at his earrings. They were semicircular rings with sharp endings. He was a cool middle age man. I should have said something, commented on how cool his earrings were. I didn’t.

I wore my FFP2 mask and kept sniffing my nose. I didn’t feel pain, I just wanted to go home.

He took my distal radial vein after all.

I thanked him and I said I’m sorry my veins are like this, I tried to bump them and even drank coffee to raise my blood pressure but it is that it is.

I went back to the doctors office. There were so many people, I was uncomfortable. I hated that I couldn’t be showing how upset I was.

I hated they asked me “total black today huh?” I didn’t want them to know about my emotional state.

I looked for patterns. Stripes, circles, matching colours in people’s clothes. It calmed me down.

I met crush guy too. It was awful, i didn’t match his energy at all. I asked him to leave me alone because it was a rough day. He texted me later to say they were worried. I didn’t want them to know how I am. They don’t understand.

I took an ABG sample on the cutest old man today. I asked him if I had hurt him and he smiled and said I was a delicate angel in his cute accent. I failed the test, by the way. I had to ask someone else to do it for me. I didn’t want to needle this person again.

I asked my colleague, probably the only one who knows what is going on, if she needed any help and she said yes. I helped her out with some clinical reports for the weekend.

Everything and everyone were so loud today. I wanted to play my day on mute. I didn’t listen to any music in my car on my way home. It was just silence.

There was a rainbow in the sky at 5ish. I said “hi liam” and it was heartwarming.

I love rainbows. They’re silent, innocent, light. I hope to see the rainbows again.

Love's A State of Mind by @enchantedlandcoffee

Teen and Up Audiences | 3k | Angst, Friends to Lovers, Exes to Lovers

"Your omega?" Louis asked softly, trying his best to keep his voice steady. "Hmmm." Harry smushed his face in Louis' shirt, his hand moving up to mess with one of the buttons. "He's great, my omega. He's kind and passionate and funny, even when he makes jokes about me." "He- He sounds great, button." "He is. You are." What?! OR Childhood friends, Harry and Louis, have been inseparable ever since they met. However, presenting as an alpha and omega drove a wedge in their relationship. One night, after Harry drunkenly confesses one too many things, Louis snaps. He realises that, despite loving his best friend so much, he needs to move on before their love tears them apart. He just needs to get the stubborn alpha on his side.

walking in the wind 

happy 3 years mitam

[anotherlarrychild]

We're devastated by today's nightmare (which we really wish we could wake up from). All my friends (who have taken over this blog) and I hope all of you, our followers here, are okay and can take a step back to properly handle everything. Our hearts go out to Liam's family, friends, crew over the past decade and a half and, of course, his four brothers. Our hearts, as fans, are absolutely shattered. We're here if you need us. It has been one of the greatest pleasures of our lives to witness Liam growth and development and we're devastated about how the industry has taken yet another good soul and destroyed it beyond repair. Rest in kindness, Liam. 🕊️

[anotherlarrychild]

We're absolutely heartbroken as we mourn the loss of Liam.

We send love and light to friends, family and fans in this tough time.

xx Mr-Styles team

[anotherlarrychild]

feeling so bad for the people who are asleep right now and are going to wake up to the news. I'm sending them so many hugs

[anotherlarrychild]

Those 5 boys and the community around them held such a strong role in shaping me and knowing one of them is just... no more... I can't explain this feeling.

[anotherlarrychild]

this feels so impossible to understand. hugging you all tight right now. i don't have any actual words, just....... fuck.

HL Fic of the Month

Vampire Harry/Human Louis (Series)

by LetTheMusicMoveYou / @letthemusicmoveyou28

This Ain't Red Wine It’s not until he gets a whiff of the contents of his glass that Louis realizes his grave mistake. That’s not red wine. It’s blood. It’s probably not the most rational, but his first thought is what people are going to think when they discover his body. On the list of stupidest ways for a human to die, accidentally turning up to a Vampire party has to be pretty high up there. (Or the one where Human Louis accidentally finds himself at a Vampire only party which actually turns out to maybe not be the worst thing). Die Without the Taste of You They both laugh then, but Louis watches as Niall looks over Louis’ shoulder before his eyes get wide. “Whoa, what did you do to Harry? He’s looking at you like he wants to eat you.” Louis scrunches his brows in worry before sneaking a glance behind himself. He must admit, Harry is looking rather feral. Oops. Louis may have pushed him a little far this time, but what’s the point of having a Vampire for a boyfriend if he can’t have a little fun with it every now and then? (Or the one where human Louis might push his vampire boyfriend a little too far, but it works out in the end). Ain't a Drop of Bad Blood “So, did you have a chance to talk to Harry about that problem you’ve been having?” Louis sighs, he’d suspected this had been coming. “No I didn’t, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to tell.” Niall raises a brow. “So it’s stopped then?” Before Louis can answer a book flies off the shelf above him and hits him squarely on the head. Louis sighs again as he rubs the quickly forming bump on his temple and reaches down to grab the book. Being tormented by some kind of ghost with a bad sense of humor, was really not on Louis’ list of things to do today. (Or the one where human Louis is being haunted by a spirit, and he's reluctant to ask his vampire boyfriend for help).

Omegaverse AU

Ω Alone and Back Again by LadyLondonderry @londonfoginacup (4k, T)

Harry Styles has very few enemies, and even fewer friends. On the outskirts of the village, past the stream but before the river, sits a small one-room cottage, cool in the summers but draughty in the winters. In that one room cottage sits a cooking pot over a fire, a smaller selection of woodworking tools, and a nest of furs that is the pride and joy of one lonely omega. Or, what does one do when a feral alpha shows up in town ready to be executed?

Ω Just Two Stars Passing By by QuickedWeen @becomeawendybird (5k, E)

Harry blew up on TikTok and became a fashion commentator during the pandemic. Now, all of a sudden, big channels are asking him to cover their red carpets and premieres. Somehow he ends up covering arrival fashion for the 2024 Euros, and somehow Louis Tomlinson already knows his name.

Ω keep feeding my soul, and i’ll fall apart by boyfriendstages @boyfriendstages (5k, E)

Harry realizes he’s gone into heat early in the middle of performing Medicine, and promptly has his Alpha casually cross the world to help him through it.

Ω Necessities of Nesting by haztobegood @haztobegood (5k, G)

“I know this is a sensitive topic and you probably don’t want to talk about your nest with me. But I have a friend that teaches nesting classes. Maybe they could help.” “So you agree: my nest sucks and I’m a shit omega.”

Ω Let the Feeling Last by allwaswell16 @allwaswell16 (5k, T)

Omega Harry thinks the alpha at the grocery store buying a cart full of vegetables must be an amazing chef. He doesn't know that Alpha Louis is feeding all those vegetables to his pet pig.

Ω never just the tip by journeytothepast @suckerforhome (6k, E)

Harry believes alphas can't control themselves. Louis proves him wrong.

Ω Runaway Bride by IceQueenRia (12k+ WIP, E)

Forced into an arranged marriage, Prince Harry flees his kingdom on the morning of his wedding. Parading as a commoner, Harry travels alone, eventually finding himself in an enemy’s kingdom. Suffering an injury while coming to the rescue of some of the kingdom’s orphans, Harry is welcomed into the castle and finds himself face-to-face with Prince Louis himself, praying that he won’t be recognised as a member of royalty.

Ω feed a fever, starve a heart by InsightfulInsomniac @insightfulinsomniac (12k, E)

When Louis turns twenty-one, he receives a call from the National Secondary Gender Services alerting him to prepare for his first rut. Everyone presents two to three days after their twenty-first birthday, and all heats and ruts require medical supervision just in case one thing goes wrong: Rut fever. Most people don’t find their soulmates before they present, especially since soulmate identification can only come through pheromones released after presentation. But if a first rut or heat begins without the person’s soulmate present, so does dangerous rut fever. Louis is certain his first rut will be normal. He hasn’t seen the only person he ever had a crush on in childhood in nearly three years, and besides, they were only ever best friends. Everything will be fine… right?

Ω Lost But Won by 2tiedships2 @2tiedships2 (16k, NR)

When Harry loses his passport after a weekend trip to see Niall, the inconvenience of being stranded in America becomes a little more bearable after meeting Louis. Or a lot more bearable.

Ω The Wilds series by jaerie @jaerie (21k, E)

The creatures that Louis observed every day weren't exactly human, but yet they were. Researchers had plucked some of them from their secluded island and transplanted them into an enclosure against their will like a bunch of zoo animals. Louis didn't think they were. But he was only paid to do the yardwork, he didn't have any say about the wilds that lived there. That was until an unfortunate accident changed his life forever and made one wild in particular his top priority.

Ω Unbonded by jacaranda_bloom @jacaranda-bloom (24k, E)

“Look,” Louis says firmly. “Last time I checked, I’m still the pack leader, so you damn well better listen to me. It was Harry who worked out what I’d been poisoned with, then nursed me back to health. And it was Harry who thwarted the plan for my second assassination attempt by literally throwing himself in front of an arrow intended for me, nearly dying in the process, which is why we’re even having this argument in the first place. So if you think I’m going to set foot outside of this hut until he’s fully healed, you’ve all seriously misread the situation, and even more importantly, you’ve all seriously misread me.” OR the one where Harry is an omega who has been cast out from his pack, Louis is the alpha leader of the pack where Harry finds a new home, Liam is an alpha with heart of gold, and Niall is a cook who can't seem to stop setting himself on fire.

Ω As Fox As Lion by Riczekkraczek (25k+ WIP, M)

“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince Harry Styles is a liberal omega in the world where omegas are not treated in the best way. And somehow he get mated with an alpha who is in fact a very conservative minister. So of course such a pair have to make a lot of problems. Problems that have to be solved. But did anyone marked that Harry and Louis hate each other?
