Soul by roaroftheninth | T | 4772 Liam tosses a grin back over his shoulder. “What are you going to do when I’ve gone and there’s no one around to drive you round the bend?” Louis’ bike coasts to a stop. It happens so slowly that by the time he’s at a standstill, Liam is far ahead, up by the curve. “I’ll forget.” Liam stops much more quickly. They’re alone in the dome; their private conversation can be held across thirty feet of open space. “You’ll what?” Louis watches him. “I’ll forget,” he repeats. “Not the way you forget things, when you can’t pinpoint them but you still carry them in your heart. I’ll just have my hard drive wiped.” Or: Louis is the medical android tasked with taking care of Liam in a world after nuclear war.

Will You Still Call Me Superman by el_em_en_oh_pee | T | 6370 When Harry opens his locker, there's a box wrapped in blue tissue paper, wound messily in a skinny white ribbon, just sitting on top of his textbooks. A piece of paper taped to the top of the box readsTo Harry, Happy Christmas! I noticed how you're always chewing on your pencils in class so I thought this might help! -Your Secret Admir Santa xx In which Harry has an overwhelming crush on Liam, the nicest, coolest guy in school, and his friends aren't very supportive of the pain his crush causes him. The jerks.

we speak in tongues and start to teethe by theamazingpeterparker | G | 8856 There’s a moment, a second, where Liam’s eyes are spitting angry. Bright gold and looking like he’s going to tear Louis’s throat out. And then Louis growls low and tightens his grip on Liam’s neck, leaning close enough that he can lay his sharpened canines on the pulse that’s jack-hammering in Liam’s neck. He could kill him. He could at least bite him, sink his fangs into the soft meat where his neck and shoulder meet as a reminder of who’s pack he’s interfering with, whose turf he’s on. It’s the first time that Louis misses it, for a heartbeat, blood flooding his mouth from more than just a scratch in a fight. Enough blood to satiate the full moon buzzing in his ears. Or, werewolf fight club.

FourFiveSeconds from wildin' by apfelhalm | E | 11366 "What about this one? He doesn't look too bad. I could take on, uh," he stops to look at the name, "Liam. I bet I'd stand a chance against Liam." Liam looks fit, well-trained without being too beefy, and perhaps a bit ridiculous, too, with his gold chain and a bandana hanging from his trouser pocket. He also looks fit fit and if this were a normal dating app, Louis would swipe right in a heartbeat. This isn't a normal dating app, though, and Louis has a bet to win. "So? Are you going to pick him or what?" Harry asks, grinning very much like a predatory shark. Or: the one where Louis and Liam meet through a Tinder-style fighting app.

written in my memory by carissima | M | 21646 Liam turns towards the voice. It sounds a bit like Harry, but deeper somehow. Huskier. He blinks carefully as he stares at Harry, who's half-sitting in the window, staring back at him. Or maybe it's not Harry, he thinks dizzily because this boy is taller, much taller than Harry is. He's also got longer hair, tucked back in a bandana, and he's wearing clothes that Harry would never wear; tight skinny black jeans and a loose black tee, silver chains around his neck hanging loose over his chest. Or the one where Liam has amnesia and he struggles to connect with the boys.

Your Lips On Mine by taecheeks | E | 56139 The situation is weird, like really fucking weird. Liam thought maybe he was hallucinating when he first saw Zayn in their apartment, exhausted from work or something. He thinks about Bradford a lot more than he probably should, always eager for the next time he gets to watch him. But when Niall told him about the other new roommate, Zayn, he never in a million years thought it would be him - even when Niall said Zayn was just his type and had silver hair. [Or the one where Zayn is a camboy, who likes to think about the fit mechanic with a liking for leather jackets and scruffy beards from uni during his shows. And Liam, the mechanic, who realizes his new roommate is Bradford, the man with the smooth skin covered in tattoos that Liam watches late at night with a hand wrapped around himself.]

Floating On The Water by scottmcniceass | M | 58206 Liam just wants to get through his last summer working at Malik Resort before University without incident. Of course, life is never that easy, and he ends up getting roped into giving the bosses son, Zayn, swimming lessons. That wouldn't be so bad, if Zayn didn't happen to hate him so much.

Crawling on Your Shores by juliusschmidt | E | 66631 "You're a mechanic?" Liam nods. Harry gives him another long, appraising look. This time it lingers on his hands. "Your nails are clean." The tips of Liam's fingers tingle. "Got laid off a month ago." "Sorry to hear that." Harry smiles, soft and small. ~ Liam is searching for direction, purpose, connection, and, ultimately, himself. Harry is searching for aliens.

Easy As All That (Go Around A Time Or Two) by sunsetmog | E | 84957 Sometimes the hardest part of growing up is figuring out who you are in the first place. Or: The one where Liam and Louis only kiss when they're on nights out, when it's secret, when there's no one around to see them. If no one knows you're having a sexuality crisis, that means it isn't happening, right? Or, or: Liam accidentally turns Louis' world upside down. A high school sixth form AU.

Wylan mulled that over. “So I should try and make sure I get something tangible out of it.”

Nina tilted her head. “Does he remind you of anyone? A young K – “

“Don’t say it,” Jesper said, looking pained. “Don’t even say it.”

[luztoyeweek]

Can you rec your top five luztoye fics to get us in the vibe?

Beloved, can I! With this, I went with fics that I don't see recced a lot for Luztoye, so if there's anything anyone wants added on to the list, feel free to do so!

Since this gave me a bit of freedom, I went with non-canon era fics, mainly to shake it up a bit. If someone would like a canon list, feel free to let me know, and I'd be delighted to :). With that, let's get into it below the cut. (Fics in no particular order).

- each and every day (of the year) by bruce_the_shark

Joe grins, lifts his hand from George’s hip to grip him by the chin, twists his face around to catch his lips in a bruising kiss. George relishes in it, likes how the taste of Joe’s preferred brand of liquor mixes with the taste of his own on his tongue. He grins against Joe’s lips, knows it’s going to be a good year.

rated m | 21.6k | modern au | granted, i haven't read this one in a while, but it's very sweet and has a very nice montage-esq vibe to it. very lovely read, especially if you're not in the mood for heavy angst :).

- the road is long, we carry on by rebelsquad (wolveheart)

“There is no good ending for people like us, George.” George says what he always says and what always feels like a half-truth, like there could be more to it but it won’t come out of his mouth. “If the ending sucks, we should make the story before as good as we can.”

unrated | 4k | mob au | this fic changed something in my mind, i'm not even kidding. very well done luz pov, very sweet, with an open ending and that good ol' yearning. not very big on mob aus, but this one was so well done that i enjoyed it very much <3.

- You Got The Best of Me by roaroftheninth/@almost-a-class-act

People assume that when Joe thinks about his life, it’s in terms of before the accident and after. Instead, he thinks about it in terms of before and after meeting George.

rated m | 61.3k | modern au | it wouldn't be a luztoye rec list without something by sam, but this fic is also just genuinely so wonderfully done and thought out. you can tell how i feel about it by seeing the completely normal and hinged comments i left on it, if you need more persuasion.

- Punch-Up by Disastrous_Canasta/@disastrouscanasta

It was in no way picture-perfect, or even anything like what George had imagined he’d love doing, but it was them. It was something they’d figured out through trial and error, learning what worked for them and what didn’t. They’d meant to share relief, ages ago. But had somehow stumbled down this path of showers and mornings and late nights, but he wasn’t sure what he’d do without it. OR A surprisingly uncomplicated “It’s complicated” dynamic.

rated e | 13.3k | film industry au | genuinely one of my favorite characterization fics for luztoye, as well as some top-notch worldbuilding and wonderful prose. <3

- meet me on the dancefloor by brokenarrows5

“Hey there stranger!” George yells, eyes crinkling. “Thought there’d be no chance of you out here!” “Changed my mind,” Joe responds.

rated t | 1k | modern au | very very short and sweet, but with wonderful voices and humor throughout. a very nice read :)

[guarnerepdf]

would you please rec some of your favourite fics so that I can uncover your vibe~

Rivers always reach the sea (series) by bitchbutter is my favorite collection of fanfics ever written. Every single work rewired my brain in such a way that i constantly think about it. (My specific fave works of it is the first and last work 😭 because I love angst).

Where to begin by ama I unexpectedly really really ended up loving I think I finished the fic in under 4 hours on a free Thursday afternoon! I think about this pairing fondly :)

The only kind of savior we’ve been sent by roaroftheninth is another work I really really love. I think about this fic a lot and I really loved Mary’s and Sid’s characterization in it.

I’m really enjoying the little talks series by @blood-mocha-latte . I’m really excited to see where this is going as I’m infected by the luztoye virus and it’s getting bad…

The History Books Forgot About Us (And the Bible Didn't Mention Us) by callmejude RUINED MEEEEEEEEE I WILL NEVER BE OK ANYMORE!

[educationalporpoises]

8 & 9 for reader, 19 & 26 for writer for the fanfic ask game!

8. How often do you reblog/comment on fics that you like? I comment on maybe half the fics I read? I have a rule of thumb that if it made me feel something I comment, so even if it's just a short 'enjoyed this !!' I think it's the nice thing to do when you appreciate someone's work. Especially in smaller fandoms like BoB, I know I appreciate all the comments, from the one-sentence ones to the paragraphs :)

9. Tag 3 fic writers you think are underrated/unknown in the fandom/fanfiction community. @blood-mocha-latte deserves all the love on 'nine hundred and fifty years before' and everyone should be reading that... I love it and all of rie's work so much @heystovepipeboys because they just posted something new and also I really enjoyed the fic they wrote for the Heavy Artillery Exchange :)) Also gonna shout your fic out (roaroftheninth on ao3) because I am Always thinking about your space AU and I am also going to finish 'the only kind of savior' soon... 19. Do you edit your fics after you write them, or do you prefer to just hit post and run (because it’s someone else’s problem now)? Mix of both! I try to sit down and write without editing, but usually after I write for a while I'll go back and change the most glaring errors. Then eventually I go through a fic as a whole and read it and try to edit and make everything flow and make sure there's a semblance of continuity.

26. What’s your biggest distraction when writing? Tumblr I am pretty bad about sitting down and writing, and I write slowly, and I don't write very much at once, but I am working on it and getting better and writing more and more. Improvement!

Me, writing for luztoye week: this is hard, alexa open knit us together by roaroftheninth on ao3

Maybe, he thought grimly, if I lay here long enough and manifest it hard enough, I’ll just sink through the bed, into the floor, through the earth’s crust, and come out on the other side where nobody knows that I’m a massive idiot.

The other side of his brain offered helpfully: Well, you’d still know.

LUZTOYE WEEK 2024 RECS - DAY THREE

recced in chronological order of posting in the luztoye week collection.

for anymore in-depth recs on any fics below, send either an anonymous or not ask and i'll give more of my thoughts.

IF YOU'LL STAY BY ROAROFTHENINTH (@almost-a-class-act)

It's Christmas, they're visiting family, and they've been back together six months. Joe can't figure out why George won't wear his ring.

rated t // 6.9k // modern au // incredibly sweet, realistic, and devastatingly luztoye. the sequel piece to this wonderful fic, and, as with all of sam's stories, is utterly worth reading and incredibly lovely.

A MOMENT OF WARMTH, A MOMENT OF COLD BY TAKINGOVERMIDNIGHT (@peaceandl0ve)

Joe Toye falls too soon in a hot, crowded bar; George Luz falls too late in a desolate, frozen forest.

rated m // 15.3k // canon era // very very lovely and, as the name suggests, warm. a wonderful look at luztoye as well as both toye and luz as people. the ending is absolutely stunning, just like the rest of the fic.

[allsassnoclass]

69!

my friend I have no clue what this is in relation to, so I'm going to assume it's my fic asks, since I sometimes get random questions from that as it circulates?

69. What are you favorite fics at the moment?

I have a fic rec page! I'll be honest, I really didn't read much 5sos fic in 2023, but the rec page is fully updated and there's a filter for my favorites, so please do check it out!

As far as other fandom fics that are my favorite at the moment, I've been all over the place, but two that are sticking in my mind right now are Run Away to Mars by roaroftheninth and Moving In (To Every Single Aspect of Danny's Life, Including the Boring Bits like Dry-Cleaning) by westgirl

Insomnis by FullOnLarrie | G | 500 Harry’s been having trouble sleeping. Louis makes everything better.

kettle and mirror by yasgorl | E | 5228 The delivery truck made it halfway up the long, rutted road, quickly turning white in the evening snow flurry, before leaving its burden at the turn into Liam’s driveway. Or, the one where Zayn is a robot.

Tubes And Wires And Careful Notes by zzegnas | T | 5306 “Zayn, you are displaying a slightly elevated percentage level of hostility. Your stress and anxiety levels are competing with each other as well. I believe your new position as head stock boy is a contributing factor.” “Thanks, but I didn’t need the physical.” “You seem exasperated,” Harry points out. “Would you like to hear a joke?” — Zayn notices a glitch in Harry's programming. Niall pretends it doesn't exist.

Semaphore Out On The Floor by zzegnas | T | 5869 “My programming detects you were telling a joke. I am amused.” “Good!” Niall chuckles, patting Harry on the shoulder. “At least you a sense of humor.” “In lieu of your humor, I have just downloaded ‘The World’s Greatest Dad Jokes’ into my library for future reference. Fairly impressive and entertaining, would you like to hear one?” — Due to recent memory problems, Niall is given a service android programmed to be his companion, who proves to be both a help and an unintentional nuisance.

Hiii can you rec me any Prison AU ? :)) Thank you!!

I L O V E prison stories! After watching Orange is the New Black, I was a little obsessed finding larry prison fics - not enough in my opinion. Hopefully, you like one of the ones below! :)

                                              Prison Fics

when the levee breaks by words_on_pages

Words: 4k

And then there was Styles. They lived in the same cell but ironically, unlike everyone else, he never said shit to Louis, never so much as touched him. In fact, back in their cell he ignored Louis so completely it was like he didn’t even exist. But during meal time, yard-time, showering; green eyes always watched him.

Part 1 of Prison Universe

And You’ve Got Time by louisniall, nouiszouis

Words: 4k

Or the one where Louis is a senior inmate in his block and it’s his mission to take Harry’s prison virginity.

Dirty Work by LarryForGodSake

Words: 6k

Officer Styles takes a special interest in one particular prisoner, Louis Tomlinson is everything he should NOT take interest it.

Obsessive Love by Jennifer_Kaid

Words: 11k

Louis was accused of false charges and ended up in prison at the age of eighteen. Being young, and well, the newbie lead to him becoming the centre of attention and not in a good way.

There was a certain ‘Black Wolf’ who everyone was terrified of, and Louis was told before being lead inside the building to maintain his distance from the 'Wolves’.

But what happened when the Black Wolf became his saviour?

a bright future behind you by istajmaal

Words: 12k

Orange is the New Black AU. Louis fucks a lot of people, Harry eats a lot of ass, Niall will smuggle a dildo to whomever gets more play, and Zayn thinks Harry and Louis should just make out already.

The Animals, the Animals by ohpleaselarry

Words: 16k

Admittedly, it’s not the first time Louis Tomlinson finds himself in handcuffs.

The difference this time is these handcuffs are attached to a year long sentence. Not just that, but a year long sentence sharing a cell with a possibly mute 19 year old with dark eyes and even darker secrets.

Always Be a Good Boy (Don’t Ever Play With Guns) by roaroftheninth

Words: 31k

Prison AU. “Louis takes to prison like a fish takes to water, like he was born to while away his days in captivity - and maybe he was, if he decides to believe any of that written-in-the-stars nonsense. Louis is a firm believer that you write your own destiny. He’s just not very good at endings, is all.”

The Violet Hour by littleramblings

Words: 40k

At the age of twenty, Louis has shackles on his wrists and speaks to his boyfriend from across a table, wearing sweats and an orange prison shirt. At the age of fourteen, Harry can do nothing but hold his hand and wish they were never caught.

Or; that underage fic where they actually do get caught. Louis gets sent to prison and Harry visits as often as he can because the only crime they committed was falling in love.

You're The Habit That I Can't Break by thatsoundsgood

Words: 40k

When Louis crosses paths with a green eyed stranger in prison, he learns that some habits aren't so bad.

Imprisoned In My Heart by capriciouslouis

Words: 63k

Louis Tomlinson never imagined that his psychology degree would land him a job in prison. Neither did he expect that he would form such an instant and irreversible connection with Harry Styles, a boy haunted by the memory of the crime he committed. Louis never expected that they could come to need each other so much, or that he could ever fall for someone who had done such a terrible thing. But can love escape through the bars of a cell?

Prison Screw Me by reader_chic_2

Words: 67k

Or the one where Louis is a washed up football player returning to prison for the second time to find his kingdom had fallen into the hands of a tyrant that traded sex with a beautiful, innocent man for goods to anyone in the prison. He decided to change that. He just didn't know he'd be changing himself as well.

ROUGE by lourryalrightee 

Words: 117k

Submissive Louis Tomlinson is a misjudged criminal who is accused of beating his own Dominant until unconciousness. But the truth is not like that. In fact, Louis has been a victim of severe abuse by his Dom, he only fought back to defend his own life. One could imagine how many times the Dom has raped the Sub, how many scars from canes and whips are there to litter across his body, how many times his flesh has been split open, how many nightmares he has endured that leaves him lose all hope in life.

Sent to the BDSM prison for “behavioural correction”, Louis meets the warden there, Dominant Harry Styles. Dominant above all Dominants, Harry is cold and harsh on the outside, but secretly a lonely man in the inside.

Louis supposes he could find his solace here in prison, a time for his scars to heal, both physical and mental ones. But what if Harry starts befriending the Sub, seeing through all the false accusations? What if Harry wants to seek justice? Does Louis even want his name cleared anyways? But the most important question is,

Will Harry be able to give Louis the love he deserves?

If only Louis could tell him the truth.
