i like when you tell me kiss me there by @mediaville

sidgeno (2020, explicit, 12.9k)

Geno seems to have no control. Sid pretends to have all of it.

He started thinking about Geno when he jerked off.

Or, he started thinking about Geno when he jerked off, again. It wasn't really new. When he'd first met Geno, before Geno could really even speak much English, it was easier for Sid to forego his mental rules about teammates. He didn't really know Geno back then, just knew that Geno was big everywhere, big body, big mouth, long legs, long fingers. Sid would sometimes think about Geno and the women he dated, the raw sexuality they exuded. He liked to imagine them pushing Geno around a little in bed, making him do as they said. The idea of Geno being led around by his dick got Sid pretty riled up.

i think most people who have been reading fic for a while have perfected the art of the 'i'm reading smut in public' poker face.

every now and then, though, you run across a fic that challenges that. this one was definitely one of those for me.

this fic starts with a bang and somehow gets impossibly hotter with each section. the excerpt i picked above is absolutely burned into my brain and was formative to the development of my personal headcanon of what geno's like in bed—geno getting bossed around and sid getting off on picturing it? lord have mercy, it's scorching.

the really masterful part of this fic is how the smut informs the characterizations. it can be really difficult to line up a sex scene to so excellently advance the plot and a relationship, but mediaville does an incredible job here—every fantasy sid has gives us more insight into who he is as a person, and every interaction he and geno have pushes their relationship forward in meaningful emotional ways, not just sexual. we get to watch them stumble through this thing they're figuring out together, acting out their feelings through sex first and then, finally, with words, and it's truly remarkable how perfectly it all works together.

sid and geno getting closer, sid pushing boundaries and introducing light D/s elements into their relationship without fully checking in with geno first, then circling back and making it right when he truly pushes too far—every single word of this fic is delicious. the edging sid puts geno through, the frank, graphic regard and appreciation sid has for geno's body, geno's clear desperation for what sid's offering to do—well. all i can really say is, read this one at home, because between the achingly sweet relationship development woven in with the scorching-hot smut—i cannot guarantee that you'll keep your poker face intact!

✤ Alpha Harry Fics ✤

A series of posts with the top five fics of each category by kudos plus five more hidden gems from that category! Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find the library's other recs here.

- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ Cold Little Heart by seducedbycurls {T, 194k}

Louis is a soft omega with an abusive past and an alpha child A few months after getting a divorce, Louis meets Harry, an ex-military alpha wolf that offers him something -odd.

In exchange for teaching him how to cook, Harry will babysit his son, Abraham Louis really could use the help.

2️⃣ Swim In The Smoke by whoknows {E, 101k}

“What about this, Captain?” Liam asks, nudging the boy kneeling between their feet with the toe of his boot. The boy hisses and swipes at him, slurring out something unintelligible around the makeshift gag Niall had to stuff in his mouth. He misses by a mile and tries again, just as ineffectively.

Harry looks down at him, at the way the sun streams over his face and shoulders, at the way the gag stretches his mouth, lips pink and chapped. He’s lithe and pretty, smudged all over with dirt. They had found him tied up below deck, mostly unconscious, next to a barrel full of gold. He’s clearly a prisoner, but there’s something familiar about him, something that niggles at Harry’s brain. Something he can’t quite put his finger on.

“Put him in my cabin,” Harry decides, turning back to deal with the rest of the loot. The boys screams out jumbled curse words at Harry’s back, muffled by the gag, and Harry can’t understand any of it.

3️⃣ With love comes strange currencies by mediaville {E, 16k}

One day One Direction will be over and Louis won't be around Harry every waking moment. He'll be able to finally get some space, let their bond dissipate as it's bound to do, if they don't mess up again. He can move to Costa Rica and forget that Harry Styles popped his first knot inside him. Until then, he's going to have to deal with this.

or, They're Accidentally Mated and Dealing With It Rather Badly.

4️⃣ You Smell Like by 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, “I seem to have accidentally become the pack’s Alpha”. 

Ever since Harry left town, Louis’ found himself with the role of pack Alpha, despite being human. So he can’t wait to hand over the reins when Harry returns. Except, it’s not quite that simple…

OR The one where Louis is the Alpha’s mate and everyone is aware of it except for Louis and Harry. Go figure!

5️⃣ Queen of Arizella by seducedbycurls {M, 277k}

Stealing from Royalty is punishable by death.

Louis starts over, doing his best to keep his hands at his sides but he is hungry and he tries stealing from the wrong Royal.

Harry is King of Arizella, he needs a Queen and who better than an omega on the run from death? Louis will learn to become the perfect Queen -the perfect fake Queen, but only for a few months.

A fake lover, a fake Queen, but a real bond.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 Burning Soul by LarryAlways28 {E, 39k}

MATE. “What?” He whispered to himself. His boots crunched into the dirt as he stepped out of Greyhound bus. The immediate energy he felt was safe, welcoming contentment. He hadn’t felt that in a long time. He squinted as he looked around the small city nestled in the mountains. Or was it a big town? A nearby green sign read “Seven Corners, Population 101,000”

Louis is a rogue Omega wolf, all he wants is a new start. Will he allow himself to fully embrace what awaits him, or will he run again, too damaged by past hurt?

💎 good enough (for you) by localopa / @voulezloux {G, 8k}

omega louis is next in line to rule the pack. in spite of the rule saying he needs an alpha to rule, he creates an impossible olympics to find a worthy mate. harry somehow wins the gold.

💎 What we parted ways with by louisismycat / @liminalkittyfics {M, 6k}

Alpha Harry is surprised to see omega Louis at his matchmaker’s cocktail party for millionaires. Years ago when they were together, Louis loathed schmoozefests with rich people.

“Tell me why you’re here.”

“Same reason as you. Love, or whatever.” Louis flicked his cigarette, watching the ash fall, before finally looking up to meet Harry’s face.

Harry scoffed. “That’s what you told Patti. Tell me the real reason.”

“Would you believe me if I said money?”

💎 Where I'm Meant To Be by Halos_Boat / @halohamilton {E, 6k}

Harry and Louis have been sleeping together casually for a while. As two Alphas they never wanted to define it as anything more.

When Louis helps Harry out with his rut so he can get it done in time for his exam, they're forced to face feelings they were habouring for a while.

💎 Switching the positions for you by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt {E, 4k}

Louis smirks and reaches down to playfully slap his ass, but Harry pushes his hand off with a laugh. “No touching the goods yet, we’re talking. Look… I wouldn’t be opposed to switching positions for you one of these days.”

“Are you quoting Ariana Grande on me?”

Or the A/B/O AU where they decide to try a completely new position in bed.

[theficpusher]

Tommo the Tease by YesIsAWorld | E | 1775 Seeing Tommo relaxed and shirtless in person was a whole lot different than seeing him gleaming and shirtless on a camboy video.

Lapful Of Lou by hazzahtomlinson | M | 2055 Harry sighed, snuggling into his pillow. “You’re the best boyfriend.” He said, and then his eyes shot open. “I mean— you would be the best boyfriend.” His eyes flickered to Louis’ face, who was standing beside the bed, with a smirk on his face. “Not— not like my boyfriend. I mean— like. I wouldn’t mind if you were my— no.” He pressed his lips together to stop anymore words from barreling out. His face was flaming. And Louis was standing there, arms crossed over his chest, like he was waiting for Harry to finish. “You done?” He asked with a little bubble of laughter. Harry grimaced, “Just leave me here to die.” Or they are both idiots and it takes a drunk Harry (with no brain to mouth filter) to get things going.

If It All Goes Wrong by sunsetmog | M | 3341 Nick smiles. "Best people," he says. "Best mates." Harry moves so that his elbow's touching Nick's. "Best mates," he echoes. "Best wedding." Or: it's Pixie and George's wedding in Mallorca, and the night's coming to an end.

Baby, I'm Right Here by FallingLikeThis | E | 8186 Seven years. They’ve been best friends for seven years now and Harry’s only recently realized that his feelings for Louis have never actually been all that platonic. He’s never going to say anything because he’s pretty sure that if they ever had a chance for something more, that ship has probably sailed. And it probably doesn’t help that they live an ocean apart either. That ship is long gone, far over the horizon. or Harry and Louis are best friends who live on different continents and may or may not be in love with each other.

Truth be told, I'm lying by mediaville | E | 10363 They used to have a Thing, now they don't, but they both still kind of want to, and then they do. Inspired by the night in London on the TMH tour when Louis and Harry didn't look at each other once. This fic could be subtitled: Louis Tomlinson's Failed Attempts at Indifference.

if it's me you're looking for by eleadore | M | 14797 Louis has a bad habit of getting drunk before he confesses--or maybe it's the other way around. AU.

'cause I want you (for the worse and for the better) by nonsensedarling | nr | 26375 When Louis gets invited along to Anne's wedding, Harry is prepared to let people think whatever they want about their relationship. That's what Louis said -- let people think whatever they want. That changes when Louis sees his ex, who turns out to be Anne's future husband's son. Now, Louis wants to prove that he's an omega that an alpha could want, and Harry wants to get through this weekend without letting his best friend figure out he's in love with him.

How Fast You Fall by kingsofeverything | E | 49580 Casual hookups are all Louis has time for, and Harry has a plan to stay single and celibate until he graduates. After going from strangers to roommates to friends, they both start to want more. It just takes them a little while to figure it out.

Among Lavender Fields by homosociallyyours | E | 70354 At twenty-one, Louis Tomlinson is more than ready to shed the girl next door image that's been with her since her entry into film in her childhood, but with a mother and father steeped in Hollywood tradition it's felt impossible. Meanwhile, Harry Styles is a young, struggling musician new to London, friendless yet eager for the next phase of her life to begin. When French director Marie Coutard casts the two of them in her film, it's a chance for both to break away from the people they've been. Together, they struggle through an acting process that's new and unfamiliar for both of them, learning more than they could've imagined about themselves along the way. As they spend long days picking lavender and long nights sharing the things they've never been able to tell anyone else, their love blooms. Will the flower fade, or will the love they make among lavender fields be one they carry with them to the end?

toxic harry <33 i think you would like this fic if you haven't read it already! archiveofourown org/works/37266034

this fic helped me realise that i only like a very specific brand of toxic lmaoooo. lets unpack

it was very well done & i did not see IT coming bc i thought the toxicity was just the klepto part--willful ignorance :) bc the signs were there. i won't spoil it here but i had to take a little walk after. i can't rec it because i hated it? but it was good. but i want to erase it from my mind

i think what it is, im sensitive about imbalance, so i can only deal with toxic if both parties are. and not to say thats not the case here, but within the ship i think harry inherently has more power (esp post war) bc of his status, his social circle, his ride-or-dies, etc. so i feel like draco already starts out on the back foot & the balance is only regained if harry's like, an absolute freak about him. pining harry is my favourite & i can only enjoy pining draco if it's very obvious that harry is obsessed. maybe this fic hurt me bc of the draco pov... maybe it hurt me bc it was hurtful. cool. thanks anon

[fat-spatular]

Louis can’t help but tell the truth… this fic is a LOT of fun. Thanks @mediaville

[stylinsoncity]

hii i hope you’re doing alright!! i was wondering if there are any fics that have influenced you to write the way you do? or fic authors/authors in general for that matter

i'm very influenced by donna tartt and joan didion in general. probably donna tartt especially. and i'd say usedtothebeach, eleadore and writeivywrite would be the fic authors who've impacted my writing the most. if i had to think back to fics i was reading when i first joined the fandom/started writing for it, theirs were the ones i read and felt most impacted by. i also love fondleeds, gloriaandrews, 100percentsassy, mediaville, infinitelymint, youcomecrash. i don't read as much fic as i used to these days but these are the authors i was really into when i did and i'd say they've all influenced my writing in some way.

[twopoppies]

hi gina! do you know of a fic that’s similar to Promise Not To Stop When I Say When by becka and mediaville?

Hmmm. There's a lot going on in that one. It's on my Threesomes fic rec, so I would start there. Also check my Gay Awakening fics. and you might find some similar in Friends With Benefits.

My last suggestion would be too look through becka's and mediaville's other fics because both wrote a lot and both are very good writers.

LMK if you need more help!

[whenyoucallmelover]

Fic Rec Anon - The best fics are deleted?!? No…

Canon, AU, Older or Newer, No ABO, No Mpreg.

Allstars? As in greatest of the greats? Yes please.

I loved Balm that you rec’d and that recent Oli fic. Of Mates and Men too.

Yeah, some of the very best authors have opted to delete, and rightfully so--fanfic is a gift, and if people are gonna be assholes, well, then no gifts! And I fully support any author who makes that move. I tend to download my faves so I can read them later, it just means that when I go look for a bookmark, it's sad to see the whole "this fic was deleted" (paraphrasing) notification..thank god I jot down author and fic name! Anyway, I digress, you have an ask, and I have a rather lengthy answer that I'll put under the cut:

So yeah, I use collections for bookmarks, and two of them are all-stars, the greatest of the great, so this was a relatively easy ask to answer, thanks to past me. The trick was editing back: each collection has close to 100 faves, so I decided to go with a theme. Welcome to the 21 club, I'm going to give you 21 all-star AUs and 21 all-star canons! To cheat, I went with different authors in both categories, and I picked authors whose work I love across the board, so do yourself a favor and go check out everything else they wrote, too--tbh, these were some REALLY hard choices to make!!

[louandhazaf]

🔁 and 😂 please!

hellllooooooo!!! 🔁 A fic you’ve re-read several times I'm pretty sure the fic I've read the most times is Promise Not To Stop When I Say When by becka & mediaville. It truly ticks all of my angst boxes -- making terrible decisions and coping in unhealthy ways and an addiction to going back to those things to get the tiniest taste of what you really want. PLUS THE NOUIS in the beginning before the messiness of the stylinshaw really kicks off is amazing. 😂 A fic that made you laugh out loud If you haven't yet read Picture This by @kingsofeverything then do yourself a favor and go read it today. I'm giggling to myself just thinking about it.

(fic rec game)

[sidgeno-ficrecs]

hi! I'm looking for a fic where Geno has a big package and the team notices it in his shorts while they are watching hockey. because who doesn't get a boner for good hockey? and then Sid gets obsessed with it. I've been looking everywhere :( ty for your help 🙏

Hi there! I think you’re looking for i like it when you tell me kiss me there by @mediaville — I actually wrote a rec for that one here, if you’d like to see what I loved about this fabulously sexy fic!

If it’s not that, anon, send me a note and we’ll see if we can figure it out!

“What about this, Captain?” Liam asks, nudging the boy kneeling between their feet with the toe of his boot. The boy hisses and swipes at him, slurring out something unintelligible around the makeshift gag Niall had to stuff in his mouth. He misses by a mile and tries again, just as ineffectively.

Harry looks down at him, at the way the sun streams over his face and shoulders, at the way the gag stretches his mouth, lips pink and chapped. He’s lithe and pretty, smudged all over with dirt. They had found him tied up below deck, mostly unconscious, next to a barrel full of gold. He’s clearly a prisoner, but there’s something familiar about him, something that niggles at Harry’s brain. Something he can’t quite put his finger on.

“Put him in my cabin,” Harry decides, turning back to deal with the rest of the loot. The boys screams out jumbled curse words at Harry’s back, muffled by the gag, and Harry can’t understand any of it.

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 Love After the End of the World by @mercurial-madhouse {E, 162k}

“Wait. Just so I’m clear in me fucking noggin,” Niall says. “An international worldwide takeover is well under way and the only thing standing between having hot showers and a second end of the world is us five fuckers?” 

Society shattered when all electricity suddenly cut off across the globe, plunging the world into darkness. Now, Prometheus Industries is the sole remaining supply of power, a saving grace to those who survived Lights Out. As fugitives in no-man’s land struggling to break into Prometheus HQ, death lurks around every corner for Louis and Zayn. Things get complicated when a routine recon falls apart and Louis collides with Harry and his mates Niall and Liam, survivors with their own agenda.

When staying alive is already a constant battle, the deadliest weakness is to be in love. For Harry and Louis, finding each other sits on top of the endless list of What Else Could Go Wrong.

💎 Unveiled by @phdmama {M, 65k}

The train grinds to a halt and Harry leans forward in his eagerness to take it all in. It’s a gorgeous Spring day, the sky the same intense blue that he knows from home, which comforts him. There’s much here that looks almost familiar, but then so much that is new and strange to his eyes. The bustling station platform and winding streets beyond paved in cobblestones look much like home. There are vehicles ranging from small to very large, some with strange and unusual shapes of which he can only guess the purpose. But most surprising are the people. There is a crowd gathered, filled with men and women, some in what looks to be a military uniform, some in what must be the street clothes in this Land.

There are no robes. And not a single one of them is veiled.

i hate cards and card shops: a short story by nightwideopen | G | 1313 Get better right now or else. An ode to Nick’s frustrations while card shopping.

hold on to me (i'm a little unsteady) by 28finelines | G | 1767 harry has a migraine; louis takes care of her

one-thousand empty mugs by trackfive | G | 3820 “Now you’re just being cruel.” Even though Harry tried to sound wounded, Louis felt him smile against his chest. “Don’t even care that I’m on my deathbed.” “Well, s’what y’get for not towelin’ off after they drowned your soldier arse in the ocean,” he teased, wrapping his arms around Harry and scooting him in even closer. “I’m very sure that’s not how it works.” harry is a bit dramatic about his cold, but he's lucky that louis adores his little pouty face.

Your Hand Fits In Mine by LoulieBlue | G | 4194 Harry's most recent tour is finally over, and his strained immune system has snapped. Louis is there to comfort him with quiet words and soft touches until he's better.

When The Night Is Closing In by cherishedlarry | G | 6392 "Louis was dying. That much was certain. Ok, maybe he wasn’t so much dying as he was simply miserable from this weird flu he had contracted. In fact, he believed this went beyond ‘weird flu���. This had to be the plague." Or, basically, Louis is really, really sick and Harry is really, really lovely.

Fever started long ago by mediaville | E | 7821 "Stay." His brain is skipping backwards but his mouth is skipping forward. "Like, in this bed? With me." The words hang in the air, somewhere in between their naked chests. Louis licks his lips, and a tiny crinkle appears between his eyebrows. "Why?" Does there have to be a reason for everything? Does everything have to be a debate? Why does Louis ask 'why?' and not 'why not?' Harry's already annoyed that he wants him to stay. "I'm ill," he says, sniffling for good measure. "I need supervision." Louis hesitates, looking uncertain, and Harry doesn't like that look on him. "It's late," he says eventually. "You need your rest." "We'll sleep," Harry promises, and as if on cue, he yawns. He is rather sleepy. "It will be restful." SPOILER: Styles gets his way. It's not restful.

All I know is we said hello by loveekateexo | G | 8635 Overall, the guy seems like a great person. However, today is Louis’ one day to sleep in and he’s already woken up with a horrific headache and sore throat to boot and he’s really just not in the mood to hear his mysterious neighbor croon out “Fix You” by Coldplay again. (Or the one where Louis wakes up certain he's dying of a head cold and decides to finally confront the neighbor he constantly hears singing through the walls. Cue Harry Styles. Suddenly, the singing isn't so bad.)

I want the whole world to know (I want you bad) | M | 10264 On the list of things you want to experience after your fifth date with your new boyfriend coming down with food poisoning probably isn’t in the top ten. (or the one where six hours after Louis and Harry make it official, Harry comes down with a nasty case of food poisoning. Utter embarrassment, lots of fond, and cuddling ensue.)

How Fast You Fall by kingsofeverything | E | 49580 Casual hookups are all Louis has time for, and Harry has a plan to stay single and celibate until he graduates. After going from strangers to roommates to friends, they both start to want more. It just takes them a little while to figure it out.
