cut your teeth on my heart by turnyourankle 

The day Harry goes missing starts like any other.

Louis has worked as a security officer for years, but he’s handed his first opportunity to be team lead. The assignment is nothing like what he expected.

Harry has spent years trying to distance himself from the pressure of the Twist name and legacy. But it’s going to be hard to avoid when his mum hires him a bodyguard.

stop the world ('cause i wanna get off with you) by devilinmybrain @thedevilinmybrain

The click of the hotel door is deafening and Louis is so fucking angry he's shaking, knees unsteady as he gets to his feet. There are things about Louis' life that aren't for other people. They're secret, private things that Louis guards close to his heart. Harry is one of those things, this Harry, the one who belongs and exists only within their bed. It's not up for sharing.

Louis doesn't even look at whose they are, just pulls on the first pair of pants he finds on the floor and marches out to the lounge.

Five times Louis and Harry get walked in on at the worst time, and one time Louis makes sure they don't.

Omega sub seeking Daddy

Hiiiiiii, I (MO27) am seeking a daddy of any persuasion to help me take control of my life! I need someone responsible and able to put me in my place - especially when it comes to my spending habits. Doms who are promising to pay me £400 a week or something like that need not apply 🙅🏻 I’m just an omega with too much spending money that somehow manages to spend it all and it leaves me with no spending money.

DM me and we can talk

aka Harry is looking for a daddy to help him budget. He finds Louis. They have a lot of sex.

There’s places that you can go to get help. The doctor’s, psychiatrists, psychologists and all that run in between. And then there’s places that fall on the edge of those recognised institutions. Places that offer the kind of therapy that most medical boards would reject on the ground of ethics. That’s the kind of place Louis Tomlinson needs. It’s the kind of place he has found. And so he goes. To a sex therapist with an unorthodox way of curing…by actually having sex.

That therapist just so happens to be Harry Styles.

Sisterwives by jaerie @jaerie

Length: 32k

This was it, the moment Louis had been waiting for his entire life. Giddy excitement bubbled up as he held hands and stared up at his soon-to-be alpha and husband and grinned. The ceremony was small and simple, but Louis didn’t mind. Fresh flowers pinned into his hair and a brand new outfit was all he needed to feel special in front of their few witnesses. It was just some members of his family and a few of the church elders in attendance as was customary for any marriage beyond the first wife within the faith.

First wives were the ones to have elaborate weddings with the whole community involved. An alpha’s first wedding was a celebration of an their coming of age, his first steps into fulfilling God’s prophecy. There were many glories for an omega that came with being a first wife but also many responsibilities. Louis had never aspired to be a first wife or even a second. He wasn’t experienced enough to be the leader of an alpha’s many wives and children and he didn’t think he’d be up to the task.

Louis was just fine in the position he was stepping into as the seventh.

Or Louis thinks he’s getting everything he’s ever dreamed of. Harry helps him find what makes him truly happy.

He finds Harry curled into a ball on the couch, bed clothes around him and Nina resting her big head against the side of his neck. Louis has to physically stop himself from asking what’s wrong for the nth time, the sight of Harry so obviously, pathetically upset about something almost too much. But he’s given Harry enough chances to talk, he thinks. It’s his turn to be a prick.

(Or the one where Louis doesn’t know what the hell is going on.)

FIC: no pressure, no diamonds + in the rough

by karamelised

written for greyish_sky for the hl summer fic exchange 2015. pairing: harry/louis rating: NC17 length: ~42k

Summary:

A life of crime means there is no nine to five, no white picket fence and definitely no happily ever after. In a life where lying gets you everywhere and stealing things becomes a sport, there is no place for romantic endings. Louis knows this, and so does Harry. Problem is, they’re both wrong.

or

Louis is a thief, Harry a grifter. They are thrown together for a huge diamond heist in Paris, where their past soon catches up to them.

Sodalite & Aventurine

In his travels to find Swan’s elusive treasure, Captain Louis Tomlinson of the Black Dagger discovers he has a stowaway onboard - a stowaway who is rather tall and pretty and pouty and can spout off Shakespearean poetry as though he had written it. A stowaway who is also, unfortunately, secretly Louis’ biggest threat. Captain Harry Styles.

Pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Harry’s alpha fraternity donates to a local thrift shop (because of Liam’s latent crush on a cute beta in his lecture). Louis’ financial situation (and confusing omega instincts) lead him to make some interesting fashion purchases. Lots of pizza, feelings, and not-really-lying.

Harry wasn’t often caught off guard at his job anymore. He called different men Sir, Master, or Daddy for work almost every week, but he’d never been told he was a good boy in a voice quite like that.

In which Harry is a phone sex operator and Louis dials a wrong number.

Big Sky by graceling_in_a_suit

Rating: M Pairing: H/L Words: 29k

Louis is a hybrid mercenary. His latest mark, a rebel Captain named Harry Styles, isn’t about to make things easy for him.

If Louis’d been a killing man, he could’ve stabbed him.

And if he’d been a stupider man, he could’ve kissed him. (And why not, when his lips were right there and so pink in the silver light of the stars and he was looking at Louis like that).

And if he’d been a man at all, none of this would’ve been happening.

Play Pretend, Find a Friend? by angelichl (40k)

They had to pull back for air. Louis surveyed the guy’s face, in awe of his blown pupils and sharp jawline, the way their shared spit glistened on his lips.

“Hi,” he breathed. He blinked, and came back to himself a little bit, blushing at his own boldness. “Sorry, is this okay?”

The stranger removed his right hand from the curve of Louis’ waist in order to cup his jaw, tilting it up to the angle he desired. He pressed their lips together, murmuring, “Definitely.” And then he kissed harder.

When Louis sees his ex-boyfriend kissing a random girl at a party, he acts out of blind jealousy. He kisses the first guy he can find. It turns into a thing.

Written for the Four Fic Fest, inspired by Clouds. College au, strangers to friends to lovers, frat boy Harry, shy Louis. Read on ao3.

Bitter Tangerine by purpledaisy 

(Harry/Louis, 120k)

Maybe it’s Niall, he reasons to calm his storming heart. Maybe he’s not actually gone for the holidays yet, maybe Harry got the dates confused. Slowly, he holds his breath and pushes the kitchen door open. The first thing he sees make him jump, a wooden spoon held out like a sword. Once his brain processes the sight in front of him, it’s less the sword that gets him than who is attached to the wooden spoon.

“Harry,” the swordsmen speaks before Harry can, his voice low and steady though confusion laces each word.

Harry’s breath catches. Every string around his heart, all the protection he spent nine months building, rips out and tears open all at once as he says, “Hi Louis.”

-

AU: Nine months after they break up, a twist of fate brings Harry and Louis back together at Christmas.
