#momrryfest22

[momrryficfest]

Seeing as prompt submissions are right around the corner for the next round of the Momrry Fic Fest, we have decided to post a roundup of last year’s fics. Happy reading! We’ll be back sooner than you think. 🤍🕊️✨

With A Little Kindness by jacaranda_bloom / @jacaranda-bloom

The man lays his hand on Harry’s forearm and Harry looks up as the stranger leans in. “I just wanted to say,” he whispers. “Can I cover your bill? I’m a big believer in paying it forward and I can see you’re struggling. It’s none of my business, of course, but I’d really like to help.”

OR the one where Harry is a struggling single parent who doesn’t have time for relationships and Louis is a generous stranger who is unlucky in love, until fate decides to step in and bring them together.

Let Go of a Prayer by abaddxns / @momrryrights

On nights like these, will he be left to tend to the baby while Louis tidies up his mess in the kitchen, or will he be cooking and cleaning while Louis busies himself with the baby? Or babies? Can’t forget Jay’s track record with twins. And if they are graced with multiples or are able to get pregnant more than once, will their first be old enough by the time their little sibling comes along to help do the nightly tidying, or will he and Louis be juggling two under-fives at once?

In which Harry and Louis are happily married creatives who have been actively dancing around the subject of having children for years, but when Harry's itch for having a baby starts to become unbearable, starting a proper conversation on the matter seems impossible.

A Chance? by onlylearsfool / @suesheroll

A meet-awkward involving puking babies and kind handsome strangers. Harry’s heart doesn’t stand a chance against a stranger just asking for one.

in the shallow water, you can swim around me (i won't mind) by enbyharry / @non-binharry

“What’s got you all worked up this morning, princess?”

Louis tickles up Harry's ribs and Harry squirms, slapping his hands away.

"Your little footie players are in here giving their mummy hell this morning." Harry explains. “I could barely sleep so I had a little bath. I thought it was only fair that you give me a hand to lotion myself up.”

“And just where do you want me to rub you down, my love?” Louis asks, an amused lilt to his question. Harry knows that Louis had already figured out exactly what he was really getting at, too embarrassed to flat out say he was horny at 8 o’clock on a Thursday morning. Harry’s libido was going haywire in his final trimester, and while Louis was never going to refuse pulling his cock out to give his baby exactly what he wanted, Harry felt undignified over the reality that he could barely function these days if he didn’t do something first to relieve the aching pressure building just beneath the surface.

“Hmm,” Harry says, tapping his chin, “I think I want you to start… here.”

Most Ardently in Love by softfonds / @softfonds

A glimpse into the newlywed life of the Tomlinsons of Donwell Abbey, complete with a happy surprise.

Where Love Grows by Neondiamond / @neondiamond

When his husband leaves without warning only weeks after the birth of their first child, a struggling Harry is forced to move in with a work colleague and raise his newborn in the desolate, dreary outskirts of London. There, within the walls of a shitty apartment complex, he meets Louis Tomlinson, fellow struggling parent and hopeless romantic.

Don't Go Wasting Your Emotions by princelyharry / @princelyharry

Harry Styles is a feisty, independent man who has been a single parent all his life and doesn’t need any man to fulfill his dreams.

That may change when his twenty-one-year-old daughter, Isabella, suddenly invites her three potential fathers to the island so that one of them can give her away on her wedding day.

As it turns out, Harry doesn’t really know who Isabella's father is.

(or Mamma Mia au)

All I Need by tommokat / @tommokat

Harry’s been dating Louis for a magical three months, but before they can go any further, he has a big secret to reveal.

Enchanted by brightgolden / @brightgolden

“My close friends usually call me H,” Harry mumbles suddenly after Louis wraps up his story.

That’s unexpected. “Are you telling me I’m your close friend now?” Louis quips, squinting his eyes at Harry.

OR

Where Louis finally meets his neighbour. After a few conversations, he begins to realise he is too weak to resist the charms of the new mother and his six month old daughter.

honey, that's alright by enbyharry / @non-binharry

Harry giggles as he reveals what he’s hiding behind his back, shaking the glass jar in front of Louis’ face as the nugs rattle around, flipping from side to side. He feels like a teenager, giddy anticipation to partake in something he shouldn’t be doing, making it all the more thrilling.

"Will you join me?" he asks sweetly, knowing Louis can never deny him.

or

The one where Harry is one hot mama who likes to get high.

All I Want Is You by daffodilsforlou / @polaroidlouis

“It’s been ages,” Harry whispers. The curls tickling the top of Louis’ ear, though a bit higher than he remembers, are familiar enough that any potential awkwardness between them dissolves.

“I know,” Louis chuckles. Although if he closes his eyes - and he does - he can almost pretend it hasn’t been that long.

Until there’s a small, high pitched voice pulling Harry apart.

“Mommy?”

harry has a kid from a previous relationship. he and kit come to stay with louis for a while.

The prompt:

“Hippie granola mom harry and traditional businessman husband liam who’s always a little confused but supportive.”

I took too many creative liberties with it tho I’m afraid.

A meet-awkward involving puking babies and kind handsome strangers. Harry’s heart doesn’t stand a chance against a stranger just asking for one.

soooo i’m still nervous to share this and because i’ve been so busy with rewriting the end of my fic and work i haven’t finished this, but while i’m saving up for a new tablet i can’t work on most my art wips—

here’s (part of) harry’s (censored) aphrodite painting from my momrry fic—let go of a prayer!

[ficsyoumayhavemissed]

When you say you love me, wanna share it with you — snowflakegems / @wotermelonshuga

1.105 words / @secretlarryvalentine / Harry x Louis

Harry forgets their anniversary. Louis has it covered, but that doesn't stop Harry from making it up to him.

Set sometime post band.

Such a beautiful fic, it shows a really sweet and domestic scene between Harry and Louis in which the author makes it possible for the reader to imagine every single detail as it goes.

Saturdays Are For The Girls — @tommokat

1.488 words / @girldirectionfest / Harry x Louis / Explicit

Saturday. The day for sleeping in, comfy clothes, and marathoning the latest season of your favorite show. And if you’re Harry, Saturday is also the day for making your girlfriend come apart time and time again. It’s her own type of marathon.

This one’s for soft mornings, when you just need a little something nice to ease into your day and make you glad that you woke up. And perhaps to make you a little hot under the collar.

I need you in my swamp — @rainblou

1.721 words / Shrek x Harry x Louis

While on vacation, sugar babies Harry and Louis get caught seducing a big dicked pool boy.

Sometimes changes are for the better and this fic isn’t the exception! An odd and magnificent rare pair that is undoubtedly worth reading, the author owns a unique bright manner to narrate and describe each scene. Therefore, when you finish it you’ll be starving for more.

Louis’ New Home — foreverfanficaddict / @chaotic-bells

2.762 words / Harry x Louis

There is a man in his back garden staring into his home. What the fuck...?

--

Louis moves to a new house, and Harry keeps showing up in his back garden.

Pure, unadulterated fluff as it lives and breathes, sprinkled with just the right amount of humor and magic. This fic spreads into every last corner of your body and makes you feel warm.

take me home (forever and ever) — @twoghostsdancin

2.928 words / Harry x Louis

As he grips the counter tightly with his sweaty palms, the cashier gives him a concerned glance, an eyebrow angling in confusion. Louis is sure he’s saying something, but he can’t hear a single thing coming out of his mouth. It’s like someone just turned off all his senses, and all he can hear in his ears is a faint ringing sound. He staggers backward, his mind swirling, and his breaths shallow until he feels himself fall into a strong grip.

The world goes black.

Or. The first time Louis falls, Harry catches him. The second time he falls, it’s for Harry.

If you’ve ever had your heart broken, or just had a very bad day, and then some kind stranger has turned it all around, this fic will likely resonate with you. If you haven’t, this fic will give you faith in the goodness of humanity. It’s a soft, cute read for when the world feels a little too harsh.

moments like this (I never wanna let go) — TheMipstaz / @nevergooutofstiles

4.597 words / @1drarepairfest / Liam x Louis

In which almost-concussions are the best meet-cutes, and goals are the quickest way to a footballer's heart.

This author made me love absolutely every character in this fic. I wanted to know them and be friends with them. They made me laugh and smile throughout the entire thing. I don’t even know anything about sports, but that didn’t stop me from loving it. This fic is a very fun read and I definitely recommend it for anyone who loves girl!direction or just needs a reason to smile.

Where Love Grows — @neondiamond

6.537 words / @momrryfest22 / Harry x Louis

When his husband leaves without warning only weeks after the birth of their first child, a struggling Harry is forced to move in with a work colleague and raise his newborn in the desolate, dreary outskirts of London. There, within the walls of a shitty apartment complex, he meets Louis Tomlinson, fellow struggling parent and hopeless romantic.

This fic feels so incredibly precarious and vulnerable at some points, but manages to grow into something warm and soft and comfortable in such a small word count. Give this a read if you need a reason to believe in kindness.

It’s Twos-day, innit? 2/22/22

Share your two favorite lines, verses, paragraphs… whatever, of something you’ve written. It can be a WIP or something you’ve already posted. Go!

The lovely @littleroverlouis and @wabadabadaba tagged me to take part in this fun little challenge in honour of all the twos today!

This first one is one of my favourite lines from my @momrryfest22 fic, Where Love Grows, coming this Friday!

This is definitely a date. Shit.

And this is a little snippet from an untitled ABO ficlet I started writing yesterday featuring Ace Omega Harry:

“Are you hungry?” Harry asks after a few minutes spent in comfortable silence, although he’s pretty certain he already knows what the answer will be.

Louis nods, pressing a kiss to Harry’s temple before letting him get up to fix him something in the kitchen.

Harry isn’t surprised. He’s sure he’d be hungry too after spending three days locked in a room with only a few snacks and bottled water to keep him going between rounds.

A new wave of guilt washes over Harry as he thinks of what his poor Alpha has to go through every four months, all because of him.

“Don’t do that,” he hears Louis say from the next room. “Don’t blame yourself.”

Harry's face goes red with embarrassment as he realises his Alpha was able to detect his guilt through his scent. Damn pheromones.

Hello, everyone! There’s a new momrryfest happening, glory be! I’m not the person running it, which is why it’s located elsewhere, so if you’re interested in checking it out, visit @momrryfest22!!

[brightgolden]

do you have any snippets of new projects?? 😄😄😄

Hello darling! This is a bit of delayed response since I'm on a vacation and this is the first time I get my hands on my laptop.

Here's a snippet from my fic for upcoming @momrryfest22 where single mummy Harry and Louis are neighbours!

His neighbour presses the button of the elevator and while waiting for it to arrive at the basement, his neighbour coaxes him, “Try me.”

Louis cocks an eyebrow at him. “Will you at least tell me your name before I start opening up about my dark past?”

“I’m Harry,” he introduces himself, extending a hand. Realising Louis’ hand is full and he is in no condition of accepting a handshake, his neighbour shakes his wrist instead. “Nice to meet you, rando.”

Louis chuckles, shaking his head at Harry’s remarks. This man is proving to be more fun than he expected. The elevator pings as the door opens and Louis lets Harry enter the box first. “I’m Louis. Are you sure you want to hear about my dark past?”

Harry presses the button to their floor, nodding fervently with a tight furrow between his eyebrows. “Just for a disclaimer, I’d be more wary of you if my mom didn’t tell me that she saw you debating between three different colours of desert rose last month.”

Louis lets out a loud laugh. He knew buying the potted plants would bite him in the arse one day, he just didn’t expect it to be this way. “Fair enough.”

“Okay, then. Fire away. I’m all ears,” Harry says, turning his whole body to Louis to give him his undivided attention.

[daomaikeng]

thank you for tagging me @princelyharry and @harrystomlinson ! these are my writing goals for 2022.

to finish “only poets dream” that i’m writing with pixie for the @momrryfest22! we should be done with it in january, 3rd week of jan at most.

to complete outlining and writing my fic for the @1dtropemashupfest that will be out in february, along with the above fic

i have a lot of fic ideas stored, so to hopefully get started on them. i’m thinking of spy AUs for larry, coliver from htgawm, flarrie from jatp, some exes to lovers even though i don’t know the pairing yet. i really want to write something for ziam even though i don’t have a prompt yet.

there is a serious lack of good fics with trans characters in this fandom. i’ve only ever seen fics where harry wants to be feminine and he’s afraid of louis’ reaction or whatever. trans people’s stories are so much more than that. wanting validation from a partner is normal but some fics base harry’s entire gender identity around louis’ approval. my fic for the 1d trope mashup fest is gonna have a trans character, and i want to write more in that area.

idk man i just want to write a lot lol

not tagging anyone else, if you want to do it pretend i tagged you and i’ll play along x

Thank you to all the lovely people who have tagged me to share a last line over the last, uhm... month? @larrydoinglaundry @wadey-wilson @kingsofeverything @lululawrence @crinkle-eyed-boo @disgruntledkittenface @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed @allwaswell16 @evilovesyou and @uhoh-but-yeah-alright.

Here’s a line from my @momrryfest22 fic titled ‘With A Little Kindness’ which should be posting in February:

“You don’t have to lay it on quite so thick, Lou.”

I’ll tag back everyone above and add @princelyharry @larrysballetslippers @bluecolouredlou @zanniscaramouche and @parmahamlarrie if they’d like share a line from something they’re working on xx
