🎪 Coax the Cold by MediaWhore (86k)

England, 1897.

English Professor Louis Tomlinson’s passion for the occult has been a source of mockery and derision for most of his life. When he hears whispers of a travelling freak show newly established in London claiming the existence of a monstrous sea hybrid, half-man, half-fish, Louis sees it as his ticket to credibility amongst his peers. The summer he spends undercover working on the show, however, gives him much more than that.

louis and liam are a trapeze act who’ve just joined syco circus. despite his best efforts, louis immediately falls head over heels for harry, one of the jugglers with a penchant for glittery pink leotards. but louis’s had issues before with intra-circus dating, so he’s trying his best to ignore his feelings. which is why he’s not at all bothered by harry flirting with everyone but him.

featuring lots of pining, lots of ot5 friendship, runaway boys reconnecting with their families, harry and louis becoming co-dependent best friends until they figure out they’re in love with each other, liam fancying zayn who’s already dating perrie, and a beatles-themed circus.

“Tell you what, why don’t you come by sometime, when there’s no practise on? I’ll teach you how to fly.”

Or, Harry, Zayn, Liam and Niall are trapeze artists, and Louis has a love for the circus.

🎪 The Ballerina Boy by justgotowisharder (10k)

It isn’t healthy, falling in love with a circus artist. They enchant you with their skills, capture you with a dance, and steal your heart with an illusion trick.

It’s too late for Louis, anyway. Harry already stole his heart.

(Or the one where the boys work in a circus, Harry is the pretty ballerina locked in a cage and Louis loves him more than anything in this world.)

🎪 responsible forever for what you have tamed by leighbot (26k)

He deals with a sassy, 500 pound liger every day, but Harry Styles might be his downfall. The thought doesn’t scare him as much as he thought it would.

Or, the one where Harry runs away to escape his past and Louis has nowhere else to go to have a future.

Circus Fic.

🎪 The Ones Who Entertain by LiveLaughLoveLarry (18k)

The prompt I based this on was: “Louis, Niall, and Liam are three friends looking for a summer job before they head off to university. Their extraneous efforts and lack of motivation lead them to a world famous traveling carnival staying in town for 3 months. Louis works in a shitty game booth, Liam cleans up the elephant poop, and Niall is supposed to be working the ticket booth but honestly he just does whatever the fuck he wants. All is well until they meet Harry (a palm reading, dream analyzing, plant whisperer) and Zayn (“the hot bloke in the genie costume that does shows with the elephants”). Fortune telling, cleaning up elephant shit, and romance ensues.” Honestly, that pretty much sums it up.

“Hi guys,” Curly said. “I’m-” “Hanzi the All-Knowing,” Niall said. “Harry,” Curly said. “Hot,” Louis said. There was a momentary pause, and everyone looked at him. Oops.

“Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Ricardo Jose Diablo,” he beamed. “This is Louis Tomlinson, our resident lion-tamer,” he added.

Harry glanced again at the other young man.

“Harry,” he put forth his hand only for a simple case of manners. “Harry Styles…”

“What a great name, kid!” Ricardo grinned, squeezing his shoulder. “Now tell me something? Have you ever wanted to run away to the circus?”

🎪 Carnival Kisses by Erin94 (6k)

Louis goes to the carnival to see the circus with his theater class, there he finds Harry the trapeze artist and tightrope walker. They have an amazingly fluffy date that leads to smut.
