Hi! Do you (or anyone else) know if Cherry red and gloomy blue by petricuor has a real happy ending? Cause it's tagged as "ambiguous/open ending, but not really" so I'm scared 😭

Hi, anon! I just went and read the last chapter of it for you! I kind of see what they mean by their tag and I don't want to spoil what actually happens for you, but I would consider what happens at the end as a happy ending for them. I feel like the writer likely just wanted to be on the safe side with using that tag. Hope that helps!

do you know a fic where louis hates harry but they’re soulmates and share dreams i think they’re in college and harry is a very feminine alpha i think and louis hurts his feelings at some point of it? i’ve been searching for a million years :/

Hi, anon, so I know fics that have parts of what you're looking for but none where they have all of these things together. I did some searching, but haven't found it yet. I'm hoping someone will know this one and let us know what it is!

[hlficlibrary]

Maybe against my better judgement, I’ve been reading All in the Golden Afternoon, nearly two years after I began to write it, and I’ve never read so slow (I’m not even halfway done), cried so often, and learned so much. I’ve missed them like fever.

Hello love! Any larry autumn read? I don't know, like a vibe?!

Hi! Here are some autumn recs for you!

Loving with a Little Twist by @hrrytomlinson

“What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know Niall! I just promised my mother I’m bringing my boyfriend - a boyfriend I don’t have - to Thanksgiving dinner. What should I do? I can’t call back and be like, ‘Oh yeah mom, that boyfriend I said that I have, I don’t actually have. Sorry to disappoint you.’ My life is ruined.” Harry returns to suffocating himself with the pillow.

Niall laughs and Harry growls at his best friend’s unwarranted happiness in this life-ending situation. Harry is fucked. Fuck. He needs a boyfriend. Fuck.

(or a thanksgiving themed fake/pretend relationship au)

Breathe me in, breathe me out by @lunarheslwt

Louis was just passing the autumn collection, when an unfamiliar but addicting scent tickled his nose. Cinnamon. He turned as he realised something. He felt calm. Relaxed. The permanent agitation that he carried was melting away the more he breathed in the scent, as faint as it was. Consumed by the crazed desire to seek out the specific candle, Louis began picking up candles and sniffing them madly, when a deep voice piped up, startling him. “Uh, sir, we don’t allow candle fetishists in here.” Louis froze mid sniff in mortification. Willing himself to not blush, he turned, a retort at the tip of his tongue. Except, it died in his throat as he took in the man before him. “I uh,” Louis blurted out accidentally, temporarily rendered speechless by the frankly unfairly beautiful man before him. Only at the man’s grin widening did he regain his wits. “You’re gonna kink shame me?”

Or, Louis is drawn into a quaint candle shop in his desire to find ways to soothe himself while struggling with touch depri. It takes him two more run-ins and with the lovely alpha sales assistant, and a drop, to figure out the source of the scent that imprints upon him and calms his omega. Idiots to lovers

Rainy Days and Leaves by amomentoflove / @daggerandrose

Louis works at a coffee shop and spells Harry's name wrong on his cups.

hi, theres fics where one of them is royal and the other doesn't know about it? thanks :)

Hi, anon! You're very welcome! Here are some recs that fit what you're looking for!

Your secret's safe with me by lightswoodmagic / @lightwoodsmagic

He knew almost everything about Haz, considered him his best friend. He knew his favourite movies and books, how he liked his coffee, knew how many pets he had and what he was most afraid of. Louis knew how to calm him down when he was panicking, and that he’d lost his virginity to his ex-boyfriend when he was 17. He knew that Haz had curly hair, green eyes, that he was tall and considered himself slightly awkward. He knew his Instagram account that only had aesthetic pictures or ridiculous jokes, but in the all the time that Louis had known him, he’d never learnt, or been allowed to know, Haz’s full name, what he sounded like, or what he looked like.

Louis didn't care.

Or, when Louis' favourite singer comes back and announces he's performing again, him and the rest of his group chat decide to go. When Haz, the man Louis' fallen in love with without meeting him, says that he can't, Louis tries his best to convince him with a drunken phone call, hearing his voice for the first time. It's not until he's at Royal Variety that he swears he can hear it again.

Just for Tonight (I can be yours) by @sadaveniren

Harry, prince of Cestrescir, has been betrothed to Ludvic, prince of Yorvik, since birth. He'd accepted a loveless marriage as his duty to his country, until an accident threw him in the path of a gentle alpha

Brasswood Boys by Tomlinsontoes

After befriending an international student in his last year of school, a seemingly innocent break from school work leads Harry to learn the true identity of the boy he’s become so enamored with.

Or the one where Harry doesn't realize his boyfriend is a prince until he takes a "royal soulmate" quiz online and has to decide if he wants to pack up his life and try to fit in with royals.

[hlficlibrary]

Hi there! Do you happen to know of any fics on AO3 that are inspired by 50 Shades? Thanks ♥️

Hi, anon! You're welcome! So I haven't read these fics, but this is what came up in a search...

Shades of Styles by Hazzaslittle28

"Run away from me while you can." The alpha above whispers, his hot minty breathe warming Louis' temple who only looks up defiantly,

"What if I don't want too?"

"I'm not a nice man, Louis."

"Who said I'm asking you to be one."

"I'm not what you want, trust me on that, omega."

Or

The fic inspired by 50 shades of Grey.

Fifty shades by Itstilliswhatitis

My version of the Fifty Shades books, hopefully less toxic and an ABO story.

Harry is Ana, and an Omega. Louis is Christian and an alpha.

I don't think I have to say much more about the storyline.

50 shades of styles by HoeforLarryStylesBro

When literature student Louis Tomlinson goes to interview young entrepreneur Harry Styles, he encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Lou is startled to realize he wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds he is desperate to get close to him.

[hlficlibrary]

Driving or driving lesson fics?

Here are a few driving recs for you...

The Sound of Your Voice From Far Away by pukeandcry

It'd be perfect, he convinces himself. Things with Lou are – well. They're the way they are, and there's no point dwelling on why it's got that way. But he thinks this would help -- not fix them, because they're not broken. They don't need to be put back together, they're just. Out of sync, maybe. It would help. He thinks it would, anyway, if they could just be the two of them again, to be alone together with no outside influences pressing claustrophobically in on them, just for a bit. And driving down an empty highway with nothing else but Louis beside him is the best way to do that that he can imagine.

Or, after the U.S. leg of the Take Me Home tour, Harry and Louis drive from L.A. to NYC. They figure some things out, like how to deal with the distance that's been growing between them.

Keep Driving by dead_tobeginwith

The first time Louis picks him up, it’s raining.

He slides into the backseat smelling like hospital, like plasters and cleaning products and burnt coffee. He shuts the door and leans against the window, folding his arms protectively across his chest. He sighs heavily and closes his eyes. There’s a crease between his brows. It must have been a long day.

Louis feels it when one of his knobby knees starts bobbing an uneasy rhythm. Bad news, then. Or waiting for bad news. Sometimes purgatory is the worst kind of hell.

Either way, he says nothing.

Louis watches his breath fog the window in the rearview mirror. When he drops him at the station, there’s a little frowny face fading in the misted glass.

OR Louis works as a driver contracted through the local cancer institute. All of his clients are associated with the hospital—mostly patients and their families heading home. One rainy afternoon, he picks up Harry.

Her Love On My Lips by @fallinglikethis

Harry and Louis take a late night drive. And Louis makes a confession.

And this next fic is kind of infamous in our fandom so check tags, but it's definitely the most popular driving lesson fic in the fandom.

You'll Breathe Me In (You Won't Release) by LoadedGunn

His first driving lesson with Louis takes place on a Saturday.

Harry stumbles out through the front gate in thrown-on baggy jeans and his ratty Ramones shirt, sees Louis leaning casually against the car, and his knees nearly give out. Apparently "not another surly teacher" meant a drop dead gorgeous twenty-something scruffy guy with shaggy brown hair and cheekbones sharp enough to chop a salad with. Clearly, Robin's trying to get Harry killed at seventeen.

Or, the AU where Louis is a 25-year-old driving instructor and Harry is a 17-year-old virgin who's really awful at seduction, except for the time he gets Louis to fall for him and fuck him senseless and take him on kinky adventures.
