Fic Rec: Series!

Welcome to April, and no fooling, we have 10 amazing series for you -- and I don't even know how many fics between them! To quote Harry:

Anyways, as usual -- please read, reblog, kudos, comment, show the love, and look out for the next category!

Vexxieverse by SomeDovesFly/@somedovesfly (616774, Explicit, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Fluff in handcuffs! Healthy bdsm and poly relationship

Reccer says: It's full of trust and love, and shows healthy dynamics both for a polycule and a BDSM relationship

The Duke and the Poor Sods Who Work For Him by LadyLondonderry/@londonfoginacup (8683, Teen, Multi) – fic post

Duke Louis decides he needs a hermit for his woods and his long suffering butler Liam must find one for him. Also, Duke Louis tries to woo tailor Harry in increasingly desperate but unhinged ways.

Reccer says: This series was so hilarious and unhinged and I loved every word of it!

where the lights are beautiful by twoshipsdrifting/@polkadotlou (48935, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Dubcon due to omegaverse heat

An omegaverse, accidental bonding fic where alpha Harry has the wrong idea about omega Louis

Reccer says: This fic makes me cry every time I reread it when Louis' thoughts just hurt in the best way. And the continuing series of fics adds amazing depth and insight to the first fic.

stand on holy ground by wishingforloushair/@wishingforloushair (17322, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: religious themes, debauchery in the church

harry is a priest and louis is a sinner who goes to harry for guidance. they also fuck.

Reccer says: this fic series taught me how to pray the rosary. no i am not kidding. i don’t think id be able to do it right now but i know how to do it!

Please Remain on the Line by fckingfreakshow (24441, Not Rated, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

harry’s looking for love, or at the very least a date that doesn’t make him want to walk off the brooklyn bridge. his friends call him a serial dater, but he prefers romantically persistent. he believes in the process and sometimes, you gotta kiss a few toads and pay sketchy astrology sites for the answers. what he really wants is simple. someone fun, who keeps him on his toes, who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. someone who’ll flirt shamelessly, make him laugh, maybe even whisper sweet nothings into his ear… he just didn’t expect the last part to be so…literal.

Reccer says: Killer banter. Unique concept. Disaster gay Harry. It’s so, so fun.

Down the Line by sunflouwerhabit/@sunflouwerhabit (280000, General, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Star shortstop Louis Tomlinson only finds solace between the white-chalk lines of a baseball diamond, until Harry Styles- the absolute bane of his existence and (probably) the worst pitcher in Major League Baseball- becomes an overnight sensation in the city Louis calls home.

Reccer says: (Almost) one million words about baseball and Harry and Louis. Brilliant OT5 rep. The most exciting fic(s) ever written about Ohio. Brilliant, devastating writing.

Come As You Are by Stylinsoncity/@stylinsoncity (77439, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

louis is a professor of literature at oxford and harry is his newest and most eager protege. both are caught in a story about forbidden love, loss and second chances, in which one is on the brink of heartbreak and the other comes along when he's needed most.

Reccer says: Forever and always in my top 5. Searingly, achingly gorgeous writing.

All in the Golden Afternoon by Leighllbealright /@leighllbealright (126040, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

When Louis Tomlinson needed to find a new preschool for his daughter, he wasn't expecting the one across the street to be everything he and Goldie ever needed. Or: the one where Louis is closed off, Harry is the weirdest person ever, and Gemma may as well be a psychic.

Reccer says: A brilliant found family fic. Quirky but real characters.

1957: Here to Take My Medicine by Zita17/@louisandtheaquarian (2657, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Beat poets Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles blow off some steam before a reading. Very loosely inspired by Howl, Ginsberg, Cassady, Kerouac, and the asterisks in Medicine.

Reccer says: This fic (and the other 4 in the series) are intense historical studies/smut. Cannot stop thinking about them!

Bitter Ends Turn Sweet by Allwaswell16 /@allwaswell16 (30164, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

It had been four years since Harry first heard the song his ex wrote about him and far longer since they broke up. He forgave Louis long ago, and now his life was focused on his career, his family, and especially his son, Max. But Louis was back in Chicago, after all this time, and he’s not an easy man to ignore.

Reccer says: It’s so rare that a famous/non-famous love story ends before it begins. I love that this fic goes there!

A fic rec of One Direction omegaverse fics where one of the characters is faking their secondary gender as requested in this ask. If you enjoy the fics, please leave the writers kudos and comments! You can find my other fic recs here. Happy reading!

🎀 Next To You by savannah_blue

(M, 14k, canon) When Harry Styles won the X-Factor he quickly became the latest pop sensation. When Louis runs into him at a party, he quickly realizes that Harry Styles is nothing like his reputation of womanizing alpha. Turns out, Harry Styles is an omega. And Louis' mate.

＊ I've been here for days by @justanothershadeofblue [E, 18k, OT5]

Somewhere in the desert, a man is called by God to raise up a righteous generation, to bring forth the kingdom from his own seed and the wombs of his omegas.

He will do it by any means necessary.

A series in six parts. Part 1 of Keep Holding Me This Way

＊ i'm going out tonight by @disgruntledkittenface [M, 3k, Harry/Louis]

Louis hasn’t been appreciating his boyfriend Harry. He only realizes it when Harry takes matters into his own hands. Inspired by Bejeweled by Taylor Swift.

＊ And I'm Okay (with what i'm not) by red_panda28 / @red-pandaaa [T, 6k, Louis/Harry]

“So, speaking of steamy scenes.” The interviewer, Harry had already forgotten his name again, gestured with his mod cards between Harry and his co-star, Sam. “With all the intimacy going on on-set, was there ever a time that continued… off-camera?” He winked at the camera.

OR 3 times people make assumptions about Harry's sex life and the 1 time he snaps

＊ Gotta Feeling by @allwaswell16 [T, 2k, Harry/Louis]

When Harry's life in Manchester isn't turning out the way he thought it would, he decides to visit his best friend in Mexico City. Maybe Niall can convince him to move halfway around the world.

＊ HOT TO GO! by @allwaswell16 [T, 2k, Louis/Harry]

When Harry does something weird at the barricade, he leaves Louis’ show devastated and hoping he can somehow make things right.

Or the accidental pervert fic

＊ Let the Feeling Last by @allwaswell16 [T, 5k, Harry/Louis]

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.

＊ Stars over Amsterdam by @hellolovers13 [T, 4k, Louis/Harry]

Louis remembers how stressed they were, trying to get tickets at all. The waiting for the email with the code, which only Louis got, the actual On-sale. How Harry stood behind him, peeling at his nails nervously. Trying not to distract Louis.

But it had all gone smoothly and he had gotten the tickets within just a few minutes.

Harry had jumped around Louis’s chair in excitement like a bouncing ball. Already starting to plan their outfits.

A gold fringe dress for Harry, Fearless was his favourite album, after all, and a matching shirt he had found online for Louis. So people could tell right away they were an item.

That was their plan. Before it all went to shit.

or Fate in form of Eras Tour tickets forces Louis to meet up with his Ex.

Hopefully soon to be Ex-Ex.

＊ Stronger Than the Tide by @haztobegood [G, 3k, Harry & Louis]

The time Louis had spent talking with Harry in the cave had flown by. He was still unsure where the time had gone. Maybe it was because this was the first real connection Louis had made in years. Love and sex did not interest Louis, and it became harder to find good friends.

It was different with Harry. Their conversation flowed effortlessly without pressing for more. Despite the hours they spent together in the cave, Louis wanted to keep talking, to share more of himself, and to learn more about Harry. He hoped their paths would cross again soon.

＊ The Grundy County Drag Show Incident by @haztobegood [T, 3k, Zayn/Liam]

The instrumental opening of Beyoncé’s Halo filled the bar, and the crowd clapped in time to the beat. Holding a wireless mic in her gloved hand, Veronica Stardust owned the stage. She was one of the most vocally talented drag queens in the Midwest. Harry and Louis had seen this act a few times before and were always blown away at the power of her voice. Liam, however, was just experiencing it for the first time. He didn’t know what was yet to come. Part 2 of Grundy County Incidents

＊ Porcupine by sweetkalachuchi / @neverforpickles [E, 82k, Louis/Harry]

Louis, a broke omega librarian, finds his quiet life in Vienna turned upside down when he meets a charming four-year-old boy named Venus, who insists that Louis is his "Mama." When Venus's father, Harry—a powerful and dangerous mafia leader—offers Louis a lucrative job as the boy's full-time nanny, Louis steps into a world where love and danger are deeply intertwined.

As Louis grows closer to Harry and Venus, he discovers the perilous secrets of Harry's underworld life. Their unexpected connection sparks a passionate romance, but with Harry's enemies closing in, Louis must navigate a treacherous path where his heart and life are at risk. This is a thrilling tale of love, danger, and the irresistible pull of two souls drawn together against all odds.

＊ Miracles At Sunsets by sweetkalachuchi / @neverforpickles [T, 16k, Harry/Louis]

Harry and Louis are best friends bound by years of shared memories, but their relationship is complicated by a tangle of unspoken emotions. Harry, an Alpha, is deeply in love with Louis, an Omega, but fears revealing his true feelings might shatter the friendship they’ve built. When Harry decides it’s time to settle down and start a new chapter in his life, he turns to Louis, an interior designer, for help in finding the perfect home.

What begins as a light-hearted search for a house soon becomes a journey of self-discovery and emotional upheaval. As they explore potential homes, their bond is tested by the growing tension between what is said and what remains hidden. Can Harry find the courage to reveal his heart, or will their unspoken desires tear them apart?

＊ Symphony by sweetkalachuchi / @neverforpickles [T, 4k, Louis/Harry]

In the peaceful countryside, Harry Styles is a hardworking farmer who’s all about keeping things running smoothly on his farm. But when a routine check on his crops leads to a nasty fall from his horse, Harry finds himself seriously injured. Determined not to worry his pregnant omega, Louis, he stubbornly drives himself to the hospital, knowing full well that Louis would be frantic if he found out.

Meanwhile, Louis gets a call that sends him into a panic—Harry’s in the hospital. Rushing to his side, Louis is a mix of anger and worry, not sure whether to scold Harry or hug him. As they reunite, the two navigate their emotions, and despite the scare, their bond only deepens, proving that together, they can handle anything life throws at them.

＊ Let Your Tears Fall (No I Won't Judge You) by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove [E, 7k, Harry/Louis]

“I want to feel good," Harry says. "I want you to feel good. I just… I don’t know what that looks like.”Louis nods. “That’s fair,” he says. “Always a bit of a learning curve, figuring out what you like and what you don’t.” He rubs his chin. “What if we just… talk through it? Instead of doing it?”Harry blinks. “What do you mean?” he says. “I don’t – I just don’t know what-”“I know,” Louis says. “It’s okay.” He brushes his hand down Harry’s cheek, soft and gentle. “I can start,” he says. “Tell you about what I imagine us doing together. And anytime you feel like something isn’t right – you can stop me, and we can figure out a different path.”Harry nods slowly. “Okay,” he says. “I can try.”

Four times Harry cries during sex. And four times Louis is right there beside him, giving him all the comfort and support and validation he needs.

＊ Donatello by @jooles999 [M, 42k, Louis/Harry]

"GET OFF MY BUS!"

Louis neck bristled, he glared into the face of the man towering over him, his pupils black with unfiltered rage he opened his mouth ready to respond before hearing fast approaching footsteps from behind the curtain.

" Jeff, What's all the shouting about?"

Louis clamped his eyes shut gulping for air as a tightness gripped his chest.

No it can't be

Seconds felt like hours, he shivered as time stopped still. Louis opened up his now glistening eyes, he held his breath and bit tightly on his bottom lip trying to prepare himself for the moment he had so carefully avoided for 3 long years.

The curtain pulled back.

" Yes yes you have guessed right well done, it is indeed Harry Styles, you can close your gawping mouth now mate. Ill even be nice and give you a tour t-shirt, then you can get the hell off my fucking tour bus and back to...."

"L..Louis?"

Or One stormy night popstar Harry and accountant Louis are reunited after 3 long years apart. Harrys manager is dangerous and controlling can Louis save him before it's too late.

＊ I long for that feeling to not feel at all by @ineverateakiwi [NR, 2k, Harry/Louis]

When he is not around and Harry needs to feel more grounded, steady on his own feet, he thinks of Louis. It's probably not healthy to rely on someone this heavily, but it's better than nothing. It's what he has right now. And, right now, it's working. Is thinking about that feeling, the feeling of being real, being alive, that he whispers – without thinking – those two words. — "Hurt me."

Harry needs to feel something, even if it's pain. Louis gives what he needs.

＊ [Podfic] Write You A Song by by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings read by Panda_Podfics / @pandapodfics [G, Louis/Harry]

Harry’s new flat is great but the acoustics are even better. They’re so good in fact that his daily shower concerts start to entertain an audience besides his shampoo bottle.

[neondiamond]

If you know me at all, you’ll know that two of the things I enjoy most are writing fluffy ficlets, and Christmas. This year, I decided to combine the two and create my own little Christmas ficlet party all throughout December! 8 ficlets, 4 different pairings, many different tropes—all short, fluffy and festive! Perfect for a quick reading break with a warm drink!

Here is a little sneak peek of what you can expect!

🎄You Don’t Have to Be Lonely Tonight (Larry, coffeeshop AU, strangers, 2k, fic post)

Louis is stuck working the Christmas day shift at the coffee shop. Harry is the sad stranger who comes in to spend the day there.

❄️ An Annual Affair (OT5 friendship, A/B/O, 1.6k, fic post)

One Direction’s annual Christmas dinner, featuring pregnant Harry and his overprotective Alpha Louis, nervous Liam and his calm and collected mate Zayn, and clueless Niall who may or may not have a death wish.

🎅🏻 Not Quite Structurally Sound (Ziam, kid fic, 1.1k, fic post)

Zayn and Liam help their two kids build a gingerbread house.

⭐️ You’re Family (Larry, meeting the parents, asexual characters, 2k, fic post)

Louis is a little nervous about meeting Harry’s family for the first time for Christmas. Harry’s Mum shows him he has nothing to worry about.

Part of the Inner Crisis universe.

🎄A Special Bond (Narry friendship, kid fic, uncle Niall, 1.1k, fic post)

Baby Lilah goes to see the Christmas lights with her Daddy Harry and her uncle Niall.

❄️ Mistletoe Kiss (Larry, roommates, mutual pining, 1.2k, fic post)

A little bit of mistletoe is just the thing Louis needed to let his roommate Harry know he’s got quite the crush on him.

🎅🏻 Cookies and Christmas Cheer (Ziall friendship, hospital AU, 1k, fic post)

When Niall is feeling a little sad at having to work over the holidays, his fellow nurse Zayn shows him a little Christmas spirit is still possible.

Merry Christmas everyone! ❤️

[plagalkey]

i’m such a big fan omg i would buy all the f1 art if only my mom didn’t scold me alrdy 😔😔but butbut i need NEED your opinion on ur head canons if atsuoikage omegaverare, what’s everyone’s secondary sex? like atsumu alpha slay but the other two??? are they just both omegas???? no we have to unpack this.

okok and second of all the half blood camp au for atsuoikage omg i might just PASS AWAY i love you and your sexy brain SO MUCH. i would make an alter of all ur art in a room for me in my house next time to go into and every morning just to chant plagelkey and atsuoikage and just ADMIRE UR ART. ALSO STREET RACING AU omg OMG. ur art with ally’s fanfics, I WAS ABOUT TO COMBUST. i love you and u deserve the universe, not just the world, EVERYTHING. <33

Oh you're so sweet thank u so much for the support with the prints and sorry to ur mom hahah 😭😭😭

Omegaverse: TLDR My peak fave scenario for the OT3 is both atsumu and kageyama as alphas and oikawa as the omega

Oikage: my default is kageyama alpha and oikawa omega... but I can fuck with alpha/alpha (i am enthusiastically looking and enhance zoom 200%) or omega/omega (less interested but i am watching from afar... you can hook and bait me easily as long as it's oikg lol) I'm quite partial to kageyama being an alpha bc i enjoy kageyama having the one up on oikawa in like... talent / genetics / whatever system of the universe they are in bc it gives oikawa more reason to feel inferior, fight against the odds, and resent kageyama at the beginning of their relationship LOL it makes it all the more sweet when they bridge that gap... and also bc I like kageyama admiring oikawa soooo much and being obsessed with oikw regardless of his status (especially if it's considered lesser) in any world haha.....

Atsuoi: Atsumu I can be flexible on as an omega sometimes, I'm less solid on him... like I like Atsuoi omega/omega... and I like Atsuoi alpha/omega where either of them is the alpha i like them both ways haha... I also like Atsuoi alpha/alpha!!! I love all forms of Atsuoi!!!!! give me any Atsuoi I will probably die and cry and treasure forever

Atsukage: I'm only interested when theyre alpha/alpha!!! I don't care for the alpha/omega or omega/omega dynamic between them it doesn't tickle my brain personally I like them when they are fighting u know like bark bark head empty

Also ally and I appreciate the love and support on street racer AU so much I can't believe it sometimes haha it started as a simple idea for me bc I just wanted atsuoi to have car sex lol and now we are here... with lore and everything and sunaosa and ot5 with atsuoikg/snos alas LMAO

[larryatendoftheday]

This year I craved stories that transported me somewhere else. So in addition to my usual weakness for angst, I sought out fics with surprising plots and excellent world-building. These were the ones that really stuck with me. Thank you to these creators and to everyone who shares art or writing or creates fic rec lists. You have been and will continue to be a fantastic gift to so many. Thank you <3

Note: The fics in this list were published in many different years. They are not in a particular order. The main pairing is Louis/Harry unless otherwise noted.

Party Lines by nonsensedarling @absoloutenonsense Explicit | 25k | Phone Sex Operator

Several of my all time favorite fics are phone sex operator AUs, and this fic is an iconic addition because Louis isn’t even actually a phone sex operator. He’s pretending, and he gets attached. Full of sexy, sweet, and funny dialogue and the appropriate amount of suffering and uncertainty, this fic will transport you to an excellent alternate universe.

War Of Hearts by BoosBabycakes @boosbabycakes28 Explicit | 80 k | Enemies to Lovers / Non-traditional ABO

I live for a well-executed enemies to lovers arc, and this is it. Believable, sweet, funny, angsty, and oh so satisfying to read. Alpha Harry doesn’t fit his gender’s stereotypes, especially in private. His arch-nemesis Louis knocks on his dorm-room door in the middle of a pampering self-care night and sees the side of Harry that he keeps hidden. What follows is a fantastic gAyBO story about repressing, exploring, and accepting your true self. There is a strong cast of OT5 and related people that keep you laughing and believing. Honestly, I need to re-read this right now.

Men of Steel, Men of Power by Stria (Asia117) @nooradeservedbetter Explicit | 58k | Political Revolution / ABO

Get ready to be absolutely consumed by this parallel universe and the angst-ridden reality of Louis, pretend alpha and head of security, and Harry, feminine alpha and new-hire. There is enjoyable intrigue, mystery, crying, sex, political philosophizing, and some spy movie shit as Louis attempts to right wrongs and push back against those in power. OT5 pop up in surprising and satisfying ways. However, perhaps most notable to me was the attention to detail in how Louis deals with pretending to be a gender he is not. (Perhaps don’t read while in your gender dysphoria feels but do read to feel seen.)

what's left of my halo's black by LiveLaughLoveLarry @loveislarryislove Explicit | 22k | Friends with Benefits / Angst

If you love pain, this fic is for you. A heartbroken and emotionally damaged Louis manages his problems—such as being a wedding planner and the impact of his abusive ex--by secretly fucking his coworker Harry. It turns out this doesn’t actually solve his problems, though, and new issues emerge from what was supposed to be a simple friends-with-benefits arrangement.

turn me up by turnyourankle  Explicit | 3k | Hanky Code PWP | Louis/Luke Malak

I found this while searching for @1dhankyfest content, and I love it. There’s something about unabashed gay sex culture that revives my soul.

Paint Me In A Million Dreams by green_feelings @greenfeelings Mature | 112k | Fake Dating / Enemies to Lovers

Hollywood actor Harry Styles is gutted when the man he can’t stand gets the Scorsese role he wanted. It gets worse when their teams conspire to set them up in a fake relationship to promote the film. I read this fic in the first days of 2023, so the details are a bit blurry in my memory. I know I loved the enemies to lovers arc, the strong Ziam subplot, and Harry obsessing over his unavailable crush (which isn’t Louis). In my comment, I wrote, “My heart absolutely ached with the pining and angst, and the sexual tension was so palpable.”

Gonna Dream of How You ... by therogueskimo Explicit | 4k | PWP / Canon-compliant

This canon-based fic was so steamy and tender. Photos of Louis performing in a tanktop get Harry going. What follows is some long-distance edging and fun. It features soft Dom Louis and desperate Harry and just really hits all the right notes in my opinion.

Almost Misheard by tommokat @tommokat Teen and Up | 4k | Friends to Lovers / ABO

This is a comfort fic. It’s got hilarious fluff about best friends who realize what their inner alpha and omega knew all along. (The rest of the gang might be in on the secret too.) I’m almost amazed by fics that manage to pull me in with believable characters and storylines without any angst, and this one delivers on every front. You’ll be grinning the whole time.

Coax the Cold by MediaWhore @mediawhorefics Mature | 86k | Mermaid / Historical AU

Professor Tomlinson is fascinated by the occult. When a circus advertises a unique sea creature, he decides to go undercover as a janitor to get close. He plans to write the paper that will finally prove he was right about the existence of fantastical creatures. This author expertly builds the world of this fic – 1800s Britain, academia, and freak shows. I loved the believable cast of characters (OT5 and more!) and the stakes that are set, including the horrid antagonists.

fondre ton absence by scrunchyharry @scrunchyharry Teen and Up| 41k | Amnesia / Historical AU

Harry and Louis childhood best friends who grew up and discovered love together in a quiet village. Harry manages asthma and chronic illness that often leaves him homebound with his books, but Louis always keeps him company. Their simple life is turned upside down when Louis is drafted in WWI and does not return home. Then, when Harry finally finds him, Louis doesn’t remember anything. This story was a tearjerker but so beautifully written. I adored that portions of the story were told in letters and that Harry often referred to literary works. Bonus: This fic has amazing visuals by whenthebodiesspeak.

be a good boy, Harry by stretchmybones Explicit | 1k | PWP / Pet play

Harry wants to play, but Louis is busy watching football, so he asks Harry to wait. I haven’t stopped thinking about this domestic and sexy little slice of life since I read it in January of 2023. My comment said “simple and perfect,” and I still agree.

The Heart's Home by homosociallyyours @homosociallyyours Teen and Up | 10k | Squiddry

Someone wrote the Music for a Sushi Restaurant fic of my dreams. Half-man, half-squid, with the voice of an angel, Harry is quite the catch. Louis, an exhausted and lonely restaurant employee, is tasked with keeping an eye on the special find. This story was so entertaining and sweet. It filled me up with good vibes and left me happier than I started.  

~~~~

I always include my favorite fic that I published that year at the end of these lists. I didn’t publish much, but I really enjoyed this one.

In His Rightful Place by larryatendoftheday @larryatendoftheday Explicit | 2.7k | PWP

Harry reunites with Louis and gets to reclaim his role as the person who fucks his boyfriend best.

Sus' 40 to 40 Countdown: 22 Days

Today's theme is a bit of a fun one hehe I went and asked a few people what trope they thought of when they thought of my fics, and @allwaswell16's response was...

Omegaverse Fics Where the Relationship Features a Beta

That Don't Define Who You Are - Nick Grimshaw/Harry/Louis (omegaverse, non-traditional dynamics, healing, hurt/comfort, broken bond)

The one where Harry is a licking omega with a broken bond who helps heal a fairly hapless beta with a folding bicycle. When Harry also meets the beta's alpha, things start to get… interesting.

Make It Up As We Go Along - OT5 Relationship (Three Men and a Baby AU, omegaverse, lovers to exes to lovers, friends to lovers, accidental baby acquisition, polyamory negotiations, light angst with a happy ending, humor)

By all accounts, roommates and best friends Harry, Zayn, and Niall are living the dream. Alpha Harry is a successful architect with a beautiful and successful journalist omega in Louis. Alpha Niall is a fairly successful actor who is about to embark on a production of Hamlet in Europe and has no trouble keeping his bed warm at night. Beta Zayn might not be so lucky in love as the other three, but he is one of the most sought after artists in New York City. Life is going pretty well for all of them, but underneath the surface none of them are truly happy.

When a baby is left on their doorstep, their lives become the definition of chaos...but maybe that is exactly what they need to see what has been right in front of them all along.

He Carries The Key - Niall/Louis, OT5 Relationship (omegaverse, pack dynamics, full shift werewolves, hurt/comfort, puppy piles, late presentation)

Niall was mostly home, ready for a shower and a chat with Louis, when suddenly Niall was flooded with emotions from the pack bond.

Shock. Surprise. Confusion. But mostly fear.

Something was wrong with Louis.

All 40 to 40 Countdown Posts

Rec List: Soulmate Fics!

In a world full of chaos and uncertainty, there's something comforting about the idea of a perfect match -- a soulmate who is suited to you in every way, and the universe doing its best to bring you together. But as ol' Billy Shakes so eloquently put it, "the course of true love never did run smooth" -- even with destiny, there are still trials and tribulations and challenges and choices. These nine soulmate stories explore the romance of a perfect match, but also the challenges of soul-connections or finding your match, and the ways that fate can still be a pain in the ass. Whatever you're looking for, we've got fics that are 3000 words and 300000 words, we've got Lilo and Narry and OT5, we've got angst and fluff and smut -- find your perfect match!

Just Let Me Adore You by Anonymous (56789, Explicit, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Omg, OT5 soulmates finding each other and their relationship developing! Lots of love, developing relationships between the boys and some delightful hurt/comfort.

Reccer says: It's sweet, a little spicy, and at times just a bit angsty. I like that it's not all sunshine, there's talk of some of the group being on the road while the others aren't, difficult family relationships, but ultimately a relationship with love and support.

Sugar, Sugar by parmahamlarrie (25000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Neither Harry or Louis puts a lot of stock in the whole Soulmate thing, so when it happens to them they take their time to get to know each other. Sugar baby Soulmate Au!

Reccer says: I love how we get to see them interact and experience their dynamic before they know that they're soulmates

Baby, You're Perfect by loveheartslouis (112000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Car crash

Alpha Louis doesn’t want a soulmate and he learns that his soulmate is his friends with benefits omega Harry. Louis chooses not to tell him what he knows which breaks Harry’s heart

Reccer says: It has a lot of angst which I like but is uncommon for soulmate fics

just the galaxy beneath us by liquidsilver (15063, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Ten universes and centuries in which Harry and Louis find each other

Reccer says: I just love the idea that in every universe, in any country or any era, these two were destined for each other. Nothing can keep them apart, not plague or war or society or anything else. They'll always find each other, and they'll always love each other.

circling the truth by we_are_the_same (3305, Teen, Liam Payne/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Liam Payne wakes up one morning able to read minds. This somehow does not help him find his soulmate.

Reccer says: Everyone is so sweet (yes even when Louis is being an ass) and the mindreading feels realistic somehow? I also love the acknowledgement of platonic love and platonic soulmates, as well as the kind of uncertainty -- it's not clear who Liam's "true" soulmate is, but it doesn't matter because he's happy as he is.

What’s in a Name by HelloLovers13 (2677, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Louis has known his whole life that Harry is the love of his life, but the soulmark tattooed on Louis' arm says Helen Styles.

Reccer says: I genuinely teared up reading this, even knowing exactly what was going to happen it just felt so wholesome and loving. How completely Louis loves and accepts Helen and uses her pronouns and name and how validating that must feel and how they both get to share in this sense of celebration at Helen's trans journey.

it's you i find like a ghost in my mind by magneticwave (17453, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

The name on Louis' wrist is Harry. But the name on Harry's wrist isn't Louis. Harry doesn't care.

Reccer says: somehow the only thing more romantic than a soulmate you're destined to love -- is giving fate the middle finger and saying no, you're wrong, I know who I love and you can't tell me shit.

you're the missing piece i need (the song inside of me) by Anonymous (4212, Teen, Niall Horan/Harry Styles)

Whenever your soulmate is singing, the song will get stuck in your head. Which is... a little inconvenient when your soulmate is a popstar. Or maybe beautifully convenient.

Reccer says: A hilarious and sweet exploration of a very reasonable problem that this kind of universe would face! I also love how much Niall has to talk himself into believing Harry really is his soulmate and it's not just coincidences.

Hiding Place by Anonymous (300000, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: Canon-typical warnings like the Caroline Flack stunt and general closeting.

Highly canon-compliant (there's links to interviews and tweets in the fic), happy ending, tattoo soulmarks, longfic

Reccer says: I consider it the Larry version of a fanon canon; it's the first Larry fic I ever read and it follows their story extremely close to reality, so it works as "source material" in a way.

- Louis/Harry -

🩵 not afraid of living on a fault line by maroonmoonlouis

(E, 55k, famous/not famous)  the one where Harry is a depressed and anxious beta who spends months at a time in bed, blowing off his band and fans, and remembering when he had something to live for. Enter Louis, the cute omega at his local coffee shop who shows him that maybe the very thing he has to live for is himself.

🩵 You Gotta Swim, Swim For Your Life (series) by @jaerie

(E, 25k, sickfic) Harry never thought he would find himself battling cancer. Louis never thought he would find himself so attached to one of his patients. Neither one of them thought they would find love in such an unlikely place.

🩵 Never Been Knotted by @allwaswell16

(E, 9k, strangers to lovers) Harry doesn't mind that he presented as a beta. It mostly just makes his life easier and more convenient. There's just one small problem: he'd really like to be knotted.

🩵 Stay forever by @allwaswell16

🩵 Woke Up Feeling Knotty by @jaerie

(E, 7k, friends to lovers) Beta Louis has a kink for knotting and the secret aesthetic porn blog he runs about it is more than proof. When he accidentally finds out his alpha best friend Harry is one of his biggest fans, he knows he has to come clean after everything that has already happened between them. Harry just might be willing to help him out anyway.

🩵 Fakes (Streaming Live) by @allwaswell16

(NR, 11k, Louis/Harry/Nick Grimshaw)  the one where Harry and Nick have been able to keep Harry's disorder at bay over the course of their relationship, but when they move to London and away from their support system, they find themselves in desperate need of help.

SNIPPET - CHERRY

I've been writing sooo much the past few days, this fic has just completely captivated me. Here's a whole scene because I'm just super excited to share but I still have so much more to write :') this is a/b/o OT5 ~ No one really tagged me this time around but I'd love to see what people are up to if you wanna share a snippet @kingsofeverything @ladyaj-13 @allwaswell16 @hellolovers13 @red-pandaaa @lululawrence @louandhazaf @sadaveniren @helloamhere (me realising I don't even know who's writing anymore oops) also this is for you darling @justanothershadeofblue since you were so curious about the drop ;)

.

.

“Harry said double dialling was a bad look but who can blame me for wanting to hear your voice,” Niall purred as soon as the line connected. The cheeky smile he was wearing could be heard in his suggestive lilt. The side of Louis's neck throbbed. He closed his eyes to it, not sure if he wanted to stop or savour the bright ache. 

“Niall,” he tried, and it came out like a whimper clouded with confusion, his thoughts shutting down into base instincts. Niall’s mark was on his neck. Niall would know what to do. Niall would fix this. 

“What’s wrong?” Niall’s voice went cold, every trace of teasing gone. 

He sounded angry. Louis didn’t want him to be angry. He wanted him here. Because- because he was-

“D- drop- ping.” The word a three part stutter through clenched teeth. 

Niall said something like a swear word, then something else, but it all became noise Louis couldn’t follow. All he could think about was the burning on his neck and the need to go home. Not this impersonal place, not his drafty flat, but somewhere safe and warm and-

“Omega,” a new voice crooned through the speaker. It was smooth and gentle, like a hand stroking over his spine. 

“Please.” The word slipped from Louis's lips before he knew what he was asking for. Anything, he figured. Anything the voice was willing to give him. 

The voice rumbled in a low hum and it washed over Louis like a hot bath, warming him from head to curling toes. “You’re okay, luv, I’m right here with you. Tell me where we are.” 

“Kitchen floor.” 

“Your kitchen?” Louis hummed in assent.  “All right, let’s get you somewhere better, hmm? Put me on speaker. Tell me when it’s done.”

He forced his fingers to move. “Done.” 

“Put the phone in your hand. Is it done?” 

Louis clutched it with a dying man’s sweaty palm. “Done.” 

“Now I want you to get on your knees- Don’t stand, we don’t want you falling. Hands and knees, let’s go.” 

Louis shook his head in denial even as he rolled onto his stomach and slowly, ever so slowly, got his jello limbs to push up. He immediately shifted his weight backwards to his heels like a praying man looking for salvation with his forehead pressed to the cool laminate. 

Trembling from exertion he knew he had to tell Alpha it was done, he had to follow the rules. “D-done.” 

“Good job, Louis. Now go to the sofa.”

A whine peeled from him. Impossible. There was no way he could manage it, he- 

“C’mon, I know you can be good for me.” 

“Trying,” he promised immediately. 

He could be good, he knew how to be good. His muscles tensed, and painstakingly slow he started moving, one shuffle at a time, towards the sofa he could see across the open-plan room. 

It could have taken him hours to cross the floor, all he knew was the constant battle against his shaking limbs and the need to do what Alpha told him. By the time he got to the overstuffed sofa still smelling of the store it was from, he was too tired to protest rolling into it with one last final push to get onto the cushions. He burrowed into the crease of them. 

He was panting hot breath into the narrow space. Eyes watering. If he were clear headed, he’d have been embarrassed. As it were, he was sunk so low he didn’t have the energy to cry propper. 

“Louis, tell me you made it,” said the angel in the phone. 

“Made it,” he whispered, because he knew how to listen, he did. 

“Good boy, Louis. Now stay where I put you.” The world was black. Alpha put him here. Alpha made him safe. 

The silence was too big, it let the fear creep in, fear that despite what Alpha said, Louis hadn’t been good enough.

The world fell away with the urgency of free-fall. His body tensed and curled into the tightest ball it could, hunching into itself with gripping terror that he’d been left alone, falling in the dark. 

He gasped a wet, ragged cry. “Don’t-!” 

“I’m right here,” Alpha crooned. And he was, his voice spun out with words that became a melodious thread, and it wove into a blanket large enough to swallow Louis whole. 

His mind went black.

[enchantedlandcoffee]

Happy 28th everyone!! Here's my list of fics that I've enjoyed over the past month!

in this world, it's just us by larryftnoctrl / @the-larry-way

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Teen and Up Audiences | 2.8k | Canon Compliant, Established Relationship, Domestic Fluff

Harry returns home from the Brits with his 4 awards happy and very drunk. Louis is super proud and extremely in love with his boy and more than happy to show it in any way he can.

Just a little taste by lunarheslwt / @lunarheslwt

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | General Audiences | 3.6k | Human/Vampire Relationship, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Fluff

"Little dove," Louis crooned, making Harry shiver a little, affected, "you're shaking. Do you want to bite?" Harry stilled. He knew what Louis was asking. He knew Louis probably could sense how in dire need of comfort he was. He knew Louis was offering. And yet- "No," he whispered, even as he felt the strong urge to let his lips trace the well-known path to the spot he usually bit into, "I could hurt you." "Harry, my darling, you haven't hurt me once in the numerous times you've needed to bite. Today will be no different. You know it'll do you good." Harry sucked his bottom lip between his teeth, torn. In the end, it was an offer he was too weak to resist. "So...do you want to? Little taste?" "Yeah," Harry rasped out, "please." Or, Harry is a vampire that comes home one night, grappling with the darkness that comes with being one. Louis offers him unwavering love, acceptance and the one thing he needs but is reluctant to ask for; permission to bite for the sake of comfort and safety seeking.

Can't keep my hands to myself by DaddyAlphaLouisBabyOmegaHarry @bottomhaztoplou

Explicit | 2.5k | Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Established Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson

Harry and Louis try something new in bed

ti dedico le autostrade che portano al mare (i dedicate to you the highways that bring you to the sea) by me_her_themoon / @greeneyesfriedrice

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Explicit | 87k+ | Friends to Lovers, Strangers to Lovers, OT5 Friendship (One Direction)

"Simon, please. I need a break." Louis speaks softly into the phone. "I've been working constantly for the past 4 years," His voice strains. "I suppose you've earned it." Simon reluctantly sighs. (Louis goes on hiatus for six months to a small coastal town in Italy where he doesn't expect to fall in love with the charming baker.

Quiet People Have The Loudest Minds by 2tiedships2 / @2tiedships2

Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson | Mature | 38k | Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Mute Louis, Alpha Harry, Omega Louis

Broadway shows were one of the few things that could keep Louis’ attention for a full two hours without needing to move about. But not tonight. The alpha next to him was both infuriating him and practically turning him on at the same time. He needed to leave. The alpha, that is. Louis was staying. Or the one where Louis is a nonverbal omega who has accepted the fact that he will never find an alpha that will treat him as an equal. On the other hand, he’s never met anyone like Harry.

it's a long shot just to beat these odds by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed

Zayn Malik/Liam Payne | Teen and Up Audiences | 14k | Famous Liam Payne, Non-Famous Zayn Malik, Awkward Dates, Strangers to Lovers

Zayn: how many years in prison would I get for murdering a popstar??? He scrapes the plates clean, resists the urge to kick the trash can, his breathing still feeling shallow and high in his chest. He wants a cigarette. And a cuddle from Louis. But a text is the most he can realistically ask for now, and luckily Louis doesn’t leave him hanging. Louis: ????? Okay, so it isn’t that helpful, but Zayn knows his anxiety well enough that just distracting his mind is usually enough to keep from having an actual attack. It doesn’t matter that the subject he’s discussing is the one thing his brain is actually panicking about, just trying to formulate words into a text is helping. Zayn: I served him raw chicken. RAW. And he was kind enough to want to try and eat it too. I could have killed him!!! That would’ve made headlines for sure. FORMER BOYBANDER GETS POISONED ON FIRST DATE, more on the ten p.m. news. Louis: well that’s one way of making sure he’s not going to go on any of the other dates. Bit drastic though mate.

Coffee, Kisses, and I Love You's by wemadethishome / @wemadethishome

Zayn Malik/Liam Payne | General Audiences | 429 | Domestic Fluff, Established Relationship

Liam's always loved the mornings. And they get even sweeter with Zayn by his side.
