A Change In Momentum by kingsofeverything | G | 666 Louis tries to surprise Harry by carving pumpkins by himself.

perfect pumpkins by shiptattou | G | 666 Harry decides a pumpkin carving 'contest' is the best way to tell Louis.

Made Just For Me by casuallyhl | nr | 2227 “What the fuck are you doing?” From where he’s sitting on the floor, Harry chooses not to answer. Instead, he continues laying out old newspapers around him. He layers them so they completely cover the carpet, leaving no space for anything to stain. “Harry,” Louis’ voice comes again. “What are you doing?” “I’m getting ready to carve a pumpkin,” Harry replies simply, still not looking at Louis. “But…why?” Or, Harry and Louis carve a pumpkin.

squash! goes my heart by sarcangel | T | 3331 Niall just laughs and ruffles Freddie’s hair, and says, “Maybe next time, buddy,” in a way that shuts Louis up, because suddenly all he can see is years of Octobers, years of them, Freddie getting taller and Niall planting seeds on his stupid back porch like the stubborn-arsed Irishman he is, and all right.

May The Gourds Be With You by BayouSexual | nr | 3496 “Next time you want to go on a road trip to the middle of nowhere, I’m saying no. ASDA has plenty of pumpkins.” Louis says darkly. Harry shoves his phone back in his pocket, “Just start the car like I said and we can see if we can get back the way we came.” Louis turns the key slowly and isn’t even surprised when nothing happens. He just sighs, “God hates us.” ____________ Or that one fic with where Harry can't read maps, and Louis hates pumpkins.

You're The Pumpkin Of My Eye by rockstarlwt28 | G | 4122 Harry and Louis go on a seasonal date, that is sweeter than the confectionery in a trick or treat bucket. It’s filled with sweet snuggles, cute kisses and pumpkin picking.

You Are the Moon That Breaks the Night by supernope | T | 4168 Harry doesn’t realize he’s been squeezing Louis’ hand until Louis nudges him in the hip and laughs, “They’re just pumpkins, Harry, calm down. Let’s go have a look.” Harry lets Louis drag him off toward the closest pile of decorative gourds, then tugs him down into a crouch so they can begin to search through them all. He wants carving pumpkins, but he also wants little ones for decoration and a couple of ripe ones to bake with. Louis does not understand the art of selecting a pumpkin, Harry discovers, and he has to give him a hands-on tutorial that involves way too much touching for such a public, kid-friendly place. Harry wants so many pumpkins that they end up making it into a contest to see who can choose the best ones, both drifting from pumpkin pile to hay bale, turning pumpkins over and pressing on the bottoms like they’re pumpkin experts.

make this feel like home | G | 4362 He doesn’t know if he’ll ever be graced with a sight cuter than his boyfriend standing in the middle of a pumpkin patch in October, holding the pumpkin version of him against his hip. Harry wants to be the one held up against Louis’ waist. Not a silly pumpkin. “Gonna the return the favor or what, curly?” Louis motions to the cute little stocky half of the orange dream team behind him and winks. “I’m a good enough pumpkin for you, aren’t it?” [harry and louis are 17 and besotted, feat. halloween]

put your dukes up, baby put your dukes up by aniloquent | nr | 5075 “I’m going to kick your ass at this pumpkin carving contest, Curly,” Louis prophesizes, standing to his feet. Louis feels the pumpkin yanked from his grip. “Lovely,” the stranger drawls, smirking down at Louis. “I’ll use this pumpkin to do so. C’mon, Li.” Louis glares holes into the duo’s back as they retreat to the other end of the patch. Louis snatches a random pumpkin from the ground, muttering curses about boot-loving fucks when he hear the stranger call for him again. “By the way, pumpkins are fruits, emphasizing the word ‘vegetable’ doesn’t make it anymore of one. Look it up.”

sending the ☔️ while I see it. -patrichornkissed

Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?

@patrichornkissed this maybe more a list of concepts that i would love to see someone else write and gift to me (the DREAM) but:

i’d do anything for a bdsm-flavored matthew/sasha where barky just really rocks matthew’s shit but like. with violence and tenderness and trust.

ALSO that one concept that i drunk-anonned kat with where tim discovers that brady really likes having his hair pulled, i’d love a convincing trope inversion for those two.

i’ve been kicking this werewolf sidnate concept since asg2024 drove the sidnate girlies (gender neutral) wild and sid, you know, stopped to hang out with actual wolves on his way up to toronto, would love to see someone else tackle that!!

Rec List: Hidden Gems!

Y'all SHOWED UP for this category and I am LOVING IT. You submitted 27 fics that deserve more love to highlight, and I am honoured to hold them up before you and say LOOKIT THESE TASTY MORSELS. They may have under 1,000 hits now, but I'm sure they won't for long!

Chase by wabadabadaba (1900, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson)

Then, Louis comes to IceSheffield, his heart so obviously full of love for the sport, for simply being on the ice, that Harry can’t help but fall in love with it too. | Harry and Louis are competitive ice skaters who grow up together at the same rink.

Reccer says: Somehow it feels like 100k fic when it's only 5 - there's so much emotion and story packed in. Absolutely beautifully written, too.

Reccer says: It's a sweet, tender exploration and the writer captures the atmosphere and Harry's thoughts wonderfully.

{the hs1 collection} 5 fics. 5 songs. 5 decades. by zita17/louisandtheaquarian (28263, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Five unrelated fics, each set in a different decade, from the 1950s through the 1990s, and inspired by a different unreleased HS1 song.

Reccer says: historical fiction, musician and famous/not famous au's, inspired by music + films. This whole series is INCREDIBLE, but the 1978 one is my favorite—the vulnerability, the pining, the musings on self vs. performance are impeccable. Plus, Harry as a mermaid/alien/glam-rock god and Louis as a leather-pants-and-platform-boots punk are genius!

Secrets I Have Held by QuickedWeen (4000, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson ) – fic post Warnings: Mentions of violence and guns

Peaky Blinders AU with gangster Louis

Reccer says: It's very atmospheric in the time period and world

I See You Shiver With Antici— (SAY IT, SAY IT) by homosociallyyours (666, General, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Harry has elaborate costumes planned for each night of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

My Kind of Trouble by Homosociallyyours (1800, General, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Harry is a waitress at Waffle House, Louis stops by for a visit

Reccer says: I love the slow, small town sweetness of these two meeting again after years apart.

[thenarrystore]

i have lightning -- sarcangel

“Have you ever eaten a raw olive?” Harry asks. Niall can actually taste them on his breath, green and briny, mixed with vodka and actual bitters; Harry still needs to breathe to live, after all, and still has no concept of personal space.

sea skin by sarcangel | G | 995 a boat, zouis, selkie!zayn

come down, i'd follow you by coffeewordangel | G | 1699 Prompted anonymously with, "mermaid zayn gets caught in liam's fishermen's net". I took a slightly different angle with it.

Wish You Were Here by alittlewicked | G | 2492 From time to time, Louis got a peculiar feeling in his chest. Like something was literally tugging at his heartstrings. It was like the urgent need to be somewhere, like a niggling feeling at the back of his brain. That vague notion that something… or even someone was waiting out there for him to finally catch up to them, to come home. Or: The one were Louis is looking for home and finally finds it in Harry, the selkie.

Songs of the Sea by Anony_Moouse | T | 14626 “Hello.” The man says, his voice low and rumbling. Liam’s town is small. Even he, who speaks only to those he must, knows the faces of each person by sight, if not by name. This man is strange. “Are you lost?” Liam asks. The man’s smile remains but his forehead creases, eyebrows drawing together as he blinks at Liam. “I am not sure.” He says slowly, glancing over his shoulder towards the sea. Liam is a fisherman living on the Irish Coast. He lives a quiet life; happiness a luxury he hasn’t known for years. But a stranger knocks on his door with nowhere to go. An odd, happy man, Harry brings to Liam’s life a joy he hadn’t known possible. But his presence couldn’t have anything to do with the seal pelt, tucked away in the far corner of Liam’s home…

Leave Your Damage Behind and Gone by QuickedWeen | T | 15673 It's the spring of 1882 and Sir Louis Tomlinson is a simple man with simple needs. Money. Running an old estate and dairy farm costs money, and he would much rather focus on his science experiments than take a trip to the Exposició Universal de Barcelona to beg for funding especially when everyone there is English anyway. He's taking a walk one night to clear his head when he comes upon something mysterious on the beach that may or may not change his life forever.

love him (if he wounds you, if he tears your heart to pieces) by sailorharry | M | 17910 Niall has a secret – he’s not exactly normal. He loves the ocean a bit too much, loves the taste of salt in the air and the cold wind whipping at his face. Zayn loves Niall – more than he should, more than he has ever loved anybody – and he loves Niall’s secret just as much, even if it threatens to tear their band apart.

wake the morn and greet the dawn (with hearts entwined and free) by mixedfandomfics | T | 21364 It was a great storm that sent Harry ashore. Grandmothers professed they had not seen its like in a generation, and fathers lost their sons to the sea.

Water shows the hidden heart by noellehenry | M | 30995 The wind turns slowly into a storm, tugging at the roof and the door. Howling and moaning around the house. The dripping has become a stream of water, pouring through the roof. Louis checks on the bucket, he might need his fish bucket too tonight. He sits down again in his armchair near the hearth when there is a desperate knock on his door. Louis quickly gets up. The screens block the windows, so he can’t see who is brave enough to go out in this terrible weather. He unlocks the door and quickly asks: “Who is it ?” No answer, but another insistent knock. He opens the door carefully and nearly faints. In front of him stands a tall, lean, wet and naked young man, shivering in the ice cold wind. Louis steps aside and motions for the stranger to come in. A selkie AU set in Ireland in the 1930's.

Space Fic Rec

As we sit upon a rock spinning at 1000km/hr, and hurtling through the cold, empty universe at 100,000km/hr, illuminated only by a giant ball of gas and nuclear fusion 150,000,000km away from us that keeps us gravitationally locked in its orbit... I bring you six space fics! Cause space is cool as heck! Even if it's a little terrifying!

Take a look through, and if any catch your fancy then drop a kudos or a comment or a reblog -- your friendly neighbourhood fic writer appreciates it!

The Stars Look Very Different Today by kingsofeverything (43032, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

For Harry Styles, child genius turned glorified spaceship mechanic, rescuing lost or broken down ships is a fairly common occurrence. There’s nothing common about his latest mission, the ship, or that ship’s captain. The last thing he expects to find in a distant galaxy is the one thing he’s been missing on Earth.

Reccer says: I think the future world-building is incredible!

ghost of you by beckywritesthings (109111, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence

a Star Wars AU where Harry is Obi-Wan, Louis is Satine, and somehow there’s a love story between the cracks where there shouldn’t be

Reccer says: An incredibly written, epic royal space fic! Even if you've never seen Star Wars, you'll fall in love with these characters. And if you have seen Star Wars, you'll be amazed by how this writer plotted this story!

foothold by turnyourankle (18358, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Louis has crossed the galaxy with a ship full of crystals; they’re the only thing he has to offer in exchange for safe harbor. He thought getting to his destination would be the hardest part, hoping that once he got his family to safety everything would fall back into place; Louis struggles to adapt while his sisters thrive.

Reccer says: Such atmospheric, visual writing that was used to create such an interesting world! The characters are so complex and have inner demons that eventually reveal themselves.

Don't bring the Starbucks by LadyLondonderry (4814, Teen, Niall Horan/Rory McIlroy) – fic post Warnings: Minor character death (but as the author says, it's no one you like)

The one where Niall is a perfectly normal university student, until he finds himself an ocean away in the middle of Ohio with a strange man telling him to stop wandering off. Then he’s in space. It’s a whole thing.

Reccer says: Emmu's fics are always their own special brand of charming and this fic is no exception. It's so delightful and odd and it makes me so happy.

in other words by sarcangel (3758, General, Niall Horan/Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: mentions of past injuries leading to prosthetics

Niall works on a space cruise line, dancing with passengers, but the person he most wants to dance with is the captain.

Reccer says: A really fascinating worldbuilding (is it still called worldbuilding if it's in space? XD) I feel like we know so much about the background of these characters and this universe, even in only a few thousand words.

Breaking Through the Atmosphere by dinosaursmate (40416, Explicit, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Louis is recruiting folks to colonize a new planet; Harry is the sweet, homesick painter/veterinarian he recruits.

Reccer says: Brilliant descriptions of what their life is like on another planet! And such a gentle, slow burn into realizing that you’ve fallen in love.

Niall just laughs and ruffles Freddie’s hair, and says, “Maybe next time, buddy,” in a way that shuts Louis up, because suddenly all he can see is years of Octobers, years of them, Freddie getting taller and Niall planting seeds on his stupid back porch like the stubborn-arsed Irishman he is, and all right.

Do you know of a zouis fic where Louis goes to zayns farm with Freddie? I read it a couple years ago but can’t find it now

Hi! Sounds maybe like it's this one...

these cows can get us home by sarcangel

Out on the back porch, the day’s lingering heat is laced with the cold edge of night. It’s not quite cool enough for a sweatshirt, but he wouldn’t mind one. With the sun fully down, it’s incredible how dark it is. The zombie apocalypse could start right here, shambling in from the shadows, and no one would ever know. The night is full of bug songs, mostly, and a bird or two, plus Zayn’s quiet rustling as he gets the joint sorted.

The flare of the lighter is piercingly bright. He passes the lighter to Zayn, by the end, so their fingers don’t brush. Then he’s wrapped in the smell of weed, thick and sweet and scratchy, deja vu strong enough to drown in. He brings himself back to here and now with an effort.

There’s the farm, sleeping and quiet.

There’s his hand, wrapped around a cigarette.

There’s Zayn’s voice, low in his ear, lazy accent like an ache in his heart.

Falling by Lovelyziam | G | 2138 “So what? I get shot at all the time. I don’t know if you know this, Zayn, but it’s kinda part of the job—” “—and,” Zayn interrupted, “you were shot at and you fell two fucking stories, Liam. Excuse me for being more than a little concerned. I don’t know if you know this, but that kind of fall kills people, Liam.” Liam just smirked up at him, the bastard. “Aww, c’mon, Zaynie. I’m not even hurt. I thought you knew me better than this. It’s gonna take more than a little fall to kill me.” And then the asshole winked at him, fucking winked while Zayn was sitting there consumed with worry, and now more than righteous anger. If he wanted to pretend like his fucking safety was a joke, then fine, Zayn wasn’t going to treat him delicately, either.

Screamin' At My Face, Baby, Don't Trip by runaway_train | G | 2498 He’s been waiting at their table in the restaurant for thirty minutes now, already deep into his second large glass of Shiraz, when he checks his phone. No new messages. He clicks onto WhatsApp to check when Louis was last online; 3.34 p.m today. That certainly doesn’t bode well. Louis was always late, yes, but he had promised, he had sworn to Harry that he wouldn’t be late tonight. But he was. By thirty one minutes and counting. Or The one when Harry's anniversary dinner plans don't go quite how he hoped they would.

Super Secret by Caliske_XP | G | 10326 When Louis Tomlinson's life gets saved by the local superhero and his celebrity crush, his world turns upside down.

under me, you by hazzafrazza | M | 12435 You Won’t Believe Who Was Spotted Leaving Harry Styles’ Primrose Hill Pad! If Harry was being completely honest, it probably wasn’t the best idea to be a world-renowned popstar and an infamous vigilante. (Especially when all the comic books said never reveal your secret identity to keep your loved ones safe – which was all well and good, until Louis.) Or: Harry wants a lot of things – fame, glory, Louis – but that last one is particularly hard to get when everyone thinks you’re dating your secret superhero alter-ego and suddenly you’ve become your own worst cockblock.

all the stars were crashing by sarcangel | E | 25845 “We should practice,” Louis says. He’s got a faraway look in his eye that doesn’t bode well for anyone, based on Zayn’s newly-formed knowledge of Louis. “Find a place, set up a schedule, all that.” “What?” Zayn says, not sure where the conversation is exactly headed anymore. “You know, in a movie - like, this would be our montage sequence,” Louis says, hands everywhere, gesturing wildly. “There’d be some song playing in the background while we spar and gain strength and -” (and lick sweat off of each other’s necks, Zayn thinks, and then you knock me to the floor and lay on me and) “Yeah, that’d be sick,” Zayn says, instead, not knowing if he’s more surprised that anything coherent comes out of his mouth or that he’s actually agreed to Louis’ awful plan.

STRANGE HAPPENINGS AT THE DAILY PLANET! by HelloAmHere | E | 31250 Companies like LexCorp think they run the world. Louis does not think that anybody in particular runs the world; the world is a mess that no one is above, not even Lex Luthor, CEO and scion and heir to the empire, billionaire and genius. He’s walked around Metropolis like some kind of superhuman since Louis can remember, since they were both kids growing up in the city. Nobody is superhuman. Everybody has a weakness. You just have to be persistent enough to find it. Louis cannot wait. // A Superman/or a Daily Planet, AU.

Something Just Like This by kiwikero | E | 31281 Newspaper intern Harry Styles can't believe his luck when he goes from fetching coffee for his boss to writing about London's own superheroes, One Direction. Even better, he gets to spend time with the unfairly handsome Freefall, also known as Louis Tomlinson. Louis, who is way out of Harry's league and far too busy for a proper relationship—so how on earth is Harry supposed to tell him they're expecting?

Just As Fast, Twice As Dangerous by lightswoodmagic | E | 45721 When he realised it was only him and Liam in the hallway, he felt safe enough to drop his shield. Oh. Lovely. Liam was emanating affection and fondness, his primary emotions filled with warmth and love. Zayn let himself bask in it, how it would feel to be loved by Liam. He knew Liam loved him, but he wasn’t in love with him; Zayn had felt that emotion too many times to count, and this just wasn’t it. He dug slightly deeper, could feel that Liam was excited and nervous, and when he hit a wall Liam had built himself, he dropped back. He wasn’t supposed to know everything. Or, Zayn's a normal student by day, and a superhero by night. When a mysterious man seems to target him at the same time a natural disaster strikes, Zayn has to figure out a way to save the day, protect his heart, and convince the boys he's not a vigilante all at the same time.

Tell Me Now, Tell Me Now by vanillabeanniall | G | 54662 “Ladybug!” Liam Payne was standing there with his phone out. Harry couldn’t help but smile at his best friend. Not that Liam knew it was him; to Liam, this was Ladybug, hero of Paris and untouchable icon. “I have a question that I think all the viewers here on the Ladyblog want to know: are you and Chat Noir dating?” Harry blinked. “No,” he said quickly, “we’re just- friends. We’re partners! Teammates!” “Of course, I should’ve known,” Liam responded, grinning behind the screen. “Ladybug’s heart belongs to Paris!” Not exactly true. But Harry was the only one who knew just who owned Ladybug’s heart: Louis Tomlinson. In which Harry is Ladybug, Louis is Chat Noir, together they’re the hailed ‘Heroes of Paris,’ and each is in love with the other’s alter-ego.
