💜 love is a word, you gave it a name by  CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry [E, 158k]

After two decades in brutal show business, Louis Tomlinson is trying to restore his tranquility of mind in the peace of Northern Europe where the sun barely sets, Maria's bar is always open, and young Harry has an irresistible spark in his eyes.

💜 Demon and Immortal (series) by delsicle / @eeveelou [E, 90k]

Harry is a demon and Louis is his eternal mate.

💜 an everlasting eclipse by you_explode /@nobodymove [M, 63k]

The sky is a deep blue and a soft breeze blows through the willow trees. From his position outside the railway station, Harry can see the centre of the village in one direction and rows of trees in the other. He feels his nerves could choke him, but so too could his excitement.

He is to have a family.

Anne of Green Gables/Anne With An E AU. In 1891, orphan Harry is adopted by the Teasdales and goes to live on their small farm in Holmes Chapel. In his new life he finds supportive relationships, he finds himself, and eventually, he finds a home.

💜 Angel of Little Deaths by superglass [M, 54k]

It’s morning light when he looks back at Louis, bright and unfiltered, like a halo. He will never forget this image; he will chase to find it again, in this same way. So perfect in time; if he had a camera he’d capture it. How the thin knit of the sweater falls over the dip of Harry’s collarbone, his lovely neck bared for Louis’ lips when they come close again. His lips stretched wide and pink in a closed smile, until they break free to reveal his bunny teeth. How his legs cross almost childishly, bare ankles crossed, the creamy expanse of his thighs pale. His hair, messy and disheveled, before an array of light. His new love: Harry. His new muse; his new everything. or

Louis is a lonely artist in Florence, Harry is a runaway Parisian student. 1970s au.

💜 Amor Victorious by HappyPrince / @happy-prince [E, 38k]

Louis finds himself following Harry on a journey through Italy, complete with long train rides, greasy food, naked Christs, and too many lingering touches. They're definitely not like other tourists and he definitely doesn't have a crush on his best friend who happens to be an alpha, too.

💜 starin' back from the lookin' glass (there stood a woman where a half-grown boy had stood) by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou [E, 23k]

Harry squeezed his feet into the black heels his mother handed him from their little satin bag and stood up, slightly wobbly for a few seconds before he caught himself.

“They’re small on you, I know,” Mama said quietly as she went and grabbed the mirror. “You’ll have to use your first money to get a place to stay, but after that you need to buy shoes that fit you…”

She was still speaking, but Harry couldn’t hear her anymore over the blood rushing in his ears as she turned the mirror and made him look at himself.

He looked… He was… He felt like a woman. Where just under an hour ago, he’d seen a boy, barely a young man, shaving off the bits of his beard that had started to grow in so late, he now saw a woman. She was as real as he had ever seen. His posture, unsure and shy, morphed into hers, shoulders straight and hip cocked as she tried her best to balance herself on the high heels she’d inherited.

💜 Little Black Dress (I wanna see the way you move for me, Baby) by HachimansKitsune [M, 19k]

Harry's has an obsession he feels guilty about. When an impulsive moment leads him to make the purchase, he expects to never actually follow through with his desires. Then Louis finds the dress -- the slinky, silky black dress -- and Daddy takes the decision out of Harry's hands.

💜 fallin' and laughin' at the drinks we spilled by enbyharry / @non-binharry [E, 14k]

Louis is living his best #vanlife and travelling around the US, visiting big cities and small towns. In an effort to see as many places as he can, he never stays for more than a day. He stops in some bar in the middle of nowhere Kentucky where he meets a beautiful boy named Harry. He stands out from the rest of the patrons in the bar with his black midi slip dress and fur coat draping off his shoulders, despite it being a hot summer night.

They drink and dance and maybe even get into a bit of a brawl with a couple of locals who have something to say about Harry’s expression (big mistake, she’s a queen who can hold her own) so Harry takes Louis back to his place where he bandages them up and they continue their party into the sunrise.

When Louis heads back to his van in the morning, boxer briefs missing and a draft coming through the large hole in the shoulder of his t-shirt, he thinks maybe Harry might be worth sticking around in this town for a little bit longer.

💜 I Hope We Never Change by @hellolovers13 [E, 12k]

“I just wanted to try how it feels.”

“The clothes?” Niall asked.

Harry nodded. “Is that, that's too weird right, I shouldn't-”

“Hey, stop it. I told you already, it's not weird. It's just how you feel. That's okay. You can try whatever you want, okay. And you can always, always talk to me. Remember that.”

or Harry is confused about everything, so is Louis.

At least they have Niall.

💜 People just gotta have fun by korichiro [E, 11k]

Louis is insecure about his gender indentity. A coming-out story of sorts.

💜 It's Thursday. Let's Get (un)Dressed. by @bananaheathen [E, 9k]

When Louis is peer-pressured into downloading TikTok over the holidays, he fully expects to hate it. And he does hate it. All of it. Well... except for aspiring OOTD influencer, @harrystyles.

💜 but if you really hold me tight by loulicate / @loulicate-recs [NR, 8k]

In which Harry just needs warm cookies, couple sweaters and a certain pretty boy to save this year's Christmas.

💜 little black dress (it's all right) by istajmaal [E, 8k]

harry is a girl sometimes. louis loves her all the time.

💜 and she sleeps in his bed by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison [M, 7k]

Never in his life had Louis ever thought about his gender. He’d never really given a thought of who he was and what he wanted to be, as an individual. Being gay was different, to him it felt different than this. The flamboyance was expected, and accepted. He owned it, owned the fact that he was flamboyant. Exuberant. A bit too stylish. Different. Of course, there was no denying that. But when it came to his own gender, he’d always thought he was just one of the lads. Or well, he definitely used to think that until Harry painted his nails and then called him ‘pretty’.

💜 Here's to Elysium by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson [T, 5k]

It's 2045. Dedicated Gunters and IOI Sixers are desperate to find Halliday's Easter egg inside the extraordinary virtual game called the OASIS. Through their attempts to win the Copper Key, the first of three keys, two avatars become closer than they ever expected.

Or: A 1D x Ready Player One Fusion feat. Lara Croft!Harry.

💜 She Feels So Good by zedi [E, 4k]

Louis knows that voice. Harry’s used that voice in his ear more times than Louis can count, said such sweet, naughty things while popping a hip out and pressing up against Louis. All while wrapping the words in that voice. That’s the voice that comes out when Harry’s in a skirt, nails done and gestures soft and flirty. That’s the voice Louis is a sucker for every time, even now when it’s coming from a prerecorded segment playing off a monitor.

That’s Louis’ good girl.

💜 Your Gift Is Wasted On Me by 5secsoflarry [G, 4k]

"We will have a baby soon darling. Remember, we plan on finding a surrogate after Christmas..."

Louis knows the words are of little comfort but he does not know what else to say.

OR Harry wants a baby really bad so they use a surrogate and well, after a few years one baby turns into six...

💜 Exhilarator by 28sunflowers / @vintageumbroshirt [G, 3k]

Lou had always felt a little bit different from his peers. It had been a confusing and frustrating affair, to grow up without feeling like he belonged to one role or another. He had had to fight small wars almost everyday, both within himself and against the world.

But then, on the first day of college, a green eyed boy gives him an encouraging smile from across the room and it’s all Louis needs to stand taller and prouder amidst a class full of strangers.

💜 kiss me with adventure 'til i forget my name by orphan_account [NR, 3k]

“Wow,” Louis says softly, stunned. “You look…”

Vibrant, luminescent, glowing, unreal, magnificent, exuberant, fucking fuckable.

or where Louis both loves and hates her job.

💜 And Everything In Between by fanshae [T, 2k]

The first day Harry wears a skirt to school Louis gets in two fist fights and has to borrow Harry's concealer for his busted knuckles. It was more than worth the dention but Louis lets Harry brush his lips over the scraped skin anyway.

💜 Ready For Anything by wannabebestseller [G, 1k]

Harry is genderfluid and Louis is the most supportive husband anyone could ever ask for. 

💜 Cherry Blossom (You are Mine) by braveromantic [NR, 1k]

Happiness can be found in the most surprising of places. For H, happiness is a queer bar in the middle of her college town, with a blue-eyed beauty and an energy drink she should have ordered more of.

[harrysmaison]

like an anchor's hold by yourdelicatepov

NR | 3.4k | Harry/Louis

“Sun?” Louis snaps him out of his thoughts. Harry realises he’d been frowning at his own reflection. He looks back at Louis to find him looking at Harry with a worried look etched in his eyes. Harry sighs. “I hate this,” he mumbles, wanting to be heard but also not. “What, baby?” Louis asks, gently. He’s always so gentle with Harry, so soft, so caring. “This,” Harry says, frustratedly this time. He doesn’t know what it is himself. This what? His current situation? His appearance? His mental state? All of it? None of it? What? “I will need you to elaborate, my love.” Louis is still so understanding. Not pressuring. Calm, patient. Grounded. Harry’s a kite, Louis holds his string. Harry's stuck in his head again, Louis is the best partner in the whole world.

Happy reading!

🔹All I know is I'm in trouble (cause the atmosphere's so cold) by  we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (T, 8k, Louis/Harry)

While on a holiday with his best mate Zayn, Louis meets Harry, who seems to dislike him from the start. It's just his luck he ends up getting stuck on a ski lift with Harry. Except maybe the universe knows better and he really is lucky.

🔹Here where you should be by @lunarheslwt (G, 19k, Harry/Louis)

“I’m spending Christmas alone.” Harry would never have thought of himself as dramatic, but he could swear he felt his heart lurch at the quiet admission. “Huh?” “Just me, myself and I,” Louis joked, giving a little laugh. “It’s about to be a very….ah, silent night.” And Harry was so distraught at this news, that he didn’t even chuckle at the pun. “Louis,” he said dumbly, voice betraying how upsetting he found the idea. The sparkle in Louis’ eyes dulled further. “Don’t you worry about me, Harry,” Louis soothed, “It’s not that big a deal-” “-Would you like to spend Christmas with me?” And what. the. fuck. Why did he ask that to someone who was essentially a stranger?

Or, when Harry, an anxious alpha, found himself panicking over last minute Christmas shopping, he found comfort in the kind omega shop assistant, Louis. He wasn't meant to invite the omega home for Christmas when he found out that he's spending Christmas alone. He wasn't meant to catch feelings. Hell, he wasn't even meant to be able to go home for the holiday. It was shaping up to be a Christmas full of surprises.

🔹Mistletoe's For Two by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel (E, 90k, Louis/Harry)

After an encounter in a coffee shop with the rudest man he's ever met, Louis hopes the city is just big enough that he'll never bump into him again. When he spots that man at a bar the following evening, a plan begins to form. They both need dates for their respective Christmas parties and decide to use each other for their own benefit. They'll help one another through the holidays and then 'break it off' on New Year's, then agree to never see each other again. Developing feelings was not part of the plan.

Or, an enemies to lovers fake dating advent fic.

🔹One for the Books by @neondiamond (M, 25k, Louis/Harry)

When Harry decides to move to London a few weeks before Christmas to pursue his dream and become the new owner of a bookshop after seeing an ad online, everyone he knows tells him he must be out of his mind. As he gets acquainted with his new life and meets a handful of incredible individuals—one of which he happens to grow particularly fond of—he slowly comes to the realisation that it may just be the best decision he's ever made.

Or the one where there’s a bookshop, a cat, OT5 friendship, a budding romance, and all the festive vibes.

🔹when did i first know? i always knew by eynap / @panye (E, 7k, Niall/Shawn Mendes)

Shawn has thought about marrying Niall more times than he can count, but there’s a palpable difference in the way he feels around kids now. It’s gone from an immeasurable amount of love for being Uncle Shawn to Harry and Louis' children, to wanting to experience these moments for himself with his own kids.

He has a feeling that has a lot to do with the way he feels about Niall, too.

Or, it takes Christmas Eve spent with two dads, four uncles, and two children under 6 for Shawn to realize he might want kids of his own. He's nervous Niall won't feel the same way.

🔹The Holes of My Sweater by yourdelicatepov / @harrysmaison (NR, 31k, Louis/Harry)

Harry dusts off the flour from all over his body. His cheeks hurt from how much he laughed. Louis' face is flushed from it, brown hair looking like a nest. Yet Louis' eyes are lit with so much joy, bluer than the oceans, laughter dancing in the little green specks. Harry feels himself get lost in them, Louis looking right back. 'Has Louis always looked this pretty?' He can't help but think.They're snapped out of their trance by the sound of the oven beeping. Harry blinks. Louis is covered from head to toe in flour, looking an absolute mess. Why did Harry think he looked pretty?

Or, Harry is the new teacher, Louis helps him settle in, it's the sweater weather and no one's falling in love with their new, kind and charming best friend. No. One. (includes, harry's cat being 'the mood' all the time, zayn pining for liam, lilo never getting along and niall throwing parties every chance he gets which may or may not willingly trigger these friends to convert into lovers)

🔹find our place by @nouies (NR, 3k, Zayn/Louis)

“Fuck!” Louis says as he hangs up the phone and turns it off. He hopes the call didn’t connect, otherwise he would have to change his number. Again.

🔹make you mine this season by @disgruntledkittenface (M, 28k, Zayn/Harry & Louis/Nick Grimshaw)

After Harry’s Christmas plans fall through, she decides to surprise her best friend Nick in New York. Unfortunately, Nick decided to surprise her in San Francisco at the same time. When they realize what happened, they each resign themselves to staying and spending time in the other’s city. Harry tries to make the best of things, making elaborate plans to distract herself from feeling lonely, while Nick is just looking forward to her first real vacation from her hectic job in years. Neither of them will have the Christmas that they expected, but maybe they’ll each get the one that they need.

🔹Charm Your Pants Off by 4ureyesonly28 / @evilovesyou (G, 2k, Harry/Louis)

When Harry hurt himself in front of all of his coworkers, he thought his Christmas Eve couldn’t get any worse. That was, until he ended up in an actual ambulance.

Perhaps the gentle and ridiculously attractive doctor he meets at the hospital can make his trip (pun absolutely intended) worth it?

🔹Late Night Talking by @kingsofeverything (E, 53k, Louis/Harry)

Louis Tomlinson has a new album coming out and a second world tour on the horizon. Promo season gets underway with a stop at Late Night Talking, the late night show hosted by Harry Styles, and Harry Styles just happens to be the man who blew a chance to date Louis a decade ago.

🔹A Very Darling Christmas by @aquamarinedaffodil (M, 133k, Harry/Louis)

It’s Harry’s first holiday season since he opened the little bakery at Astor Square and according to his best friend Zayn, he is hopelessly unprepared. With the start of the local Christmas market right around the corner and an already hectic schedule, Harry really can’t afford to get distracted.

Then again, neither can Louis, who is in the middle of directing rehearsals for a winter musical with his drama class and promised his colleague Niall that he’d focus all of his energy on the musical.

But you know what they say: promises are like pie crusts — made to be broken.

🔹The Hour of Us by sitandadmire / @louistomlionson (M, 5k, Niall/Harry/Louis)

Harry loves her quiet life with her two partners, Niall and Louis. But one day, her magic starts acting up. Will Harry be able to figure out what's happening, how to fix it, and soon?

Or: the modern witches AU where Niall collects spell books, Harry is fascinated by plants, and Louis is ready to protect them at all costs.

🔹The Streetlights Are All Saying Your Name by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove (M, 4k, Niall/Shawn Mendes)

The roar of the crowd is still thrumming in his bones as Shawn steps off the stage, feeling like he’s riding on a cloud of music and marijuana smoke. As he descends the stairs, he sees Niall, hands in his pockets, smiling as bright as the stage lights. “You were amazing,” Niall tells him, pulling him into a tight hug. “Fucking killed it, as always.”Shawn squirms in his arms. “I’m all sweaty and gross.”“Don’t care.” Niall rubs his cheek against Shawn’s. “Smells like you. Plus it gives me an excuse to join you in the shower when we get back to the hotel.”Shawn laughs. “You know you don’t need an excuse,” he says. “Open invitation, any time.”

Or, Niall comes to visit Shawn at the Jingle Ball performances, and afterwards they spend some time in their hotel room together, reminiscing on old holiday memories and making new ones together.

🔹they say looks can kill (and i might try) by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove (M, 18k, Louis/Harry)

There is little Louis loves more than the look on a would-be criminal’s face when he falls from the sky. They never see it coming – which seems ridiculous, since they live in a city with dozens of superheroes. But then again, most of those “heroes” are CowellCorp’s pet monkeys, and CowellCorp isn’t all that concerned with helping ordinary folks.

Louis is, though. So when he looks into an alley and spots a man gripping a woman’s arm hard enough to bruise, he does the logical thing: he fires an arrow that neatly peels the man’s hat off his head and pins it to the wall behind him.

Isn’t that what anyone would do?

Once, Louis walked the streets as Ranger, a proud member of the CowellCorp Crusaders. With their training and tech, he thought he'd be able to fight evil and protect those in need.

Then he realized the evil people needed protecting from was the very company that had built him into a "hero" in the first place.

Now he walks those same streets as Rogue, a vigilante who makes his own justice - and he's making damn sure that justice is coming for CowellCorp too.

🔹I Keep Looking For Magic by @lululawrence (NR, 36k, Louis/Harry)

Harry loves Christmas, but this year is special. After ten years of boyfriends all failing to ever meet Harry's family, Harry has a fiance to introduce and things are looking like they will be perfect.

Until they break up.

Harry cannot go home alone when he had promised to bring a significant other again. This leaves him with little choice but to find someone to pretend they are his fiance.

Surely nothing could go wrong with this plan.

🔹Silver-White Winters by @lululawrence (NR, 9k, OT5)

Liam Payne had learned many things as a bartender. He'd learned when people needed to talk, or when they needed a gentle smile. He now knew when they wanted advice or someone to just agree with them. He also had come to recognize when someone was past the limit and needed to be told no.

But when it came to holidays, Liam had learned that when people came into the Neighborhood Pub alone on Christmas Eve, it was for a reason.

Niall, Zayn, Harry, and Louis all definitely have their own reasons for showing up at Liam's bar alone on Christmas Eve. With the help of a surprise winter storm, none of them will have a reason to be alone for long.

🔹love drunk, waiting on a miracle by @hellolovers13 (E, 30k, Louis/Harry)

Christmas inspired Coffeshop AU

Harry has a bit of a crush on a customer. Thankfully, the feeling is mutual.

These are their first 24 days together.

🔹Treat You Like A Gentleman by @justanothershadeofblue (E, 12k, Harry/Louis)

5 times that Harry Styles was unsatisfied by his dates, and one time Louis Tomlinson helped him find what he had been missing.

🔹no amount of words by @justanothershadeofblue (M, 7k, Louis/Harry)

a series of canon-complaint angsty vignettes that follow Harry and Louis through the years

Tears

🔹Just You and I (a starry sky) by @justanothershadeofblue (E, 7k, Harry/Louis)

"getting accidentally pregnant by his childhood best friend-with-benefits" was definitely not on Harry Styles' holiday to-do list - but apparently it's what has happened, so now he has to figure out how to tell Louis without ruining Louis' birthday, their family holiday, oh, and literally everything else about their lives. Oops?

🔹California stars by @justanothershadeofblue (M, 27k, Louis/Harry)

A month in the life (and diary) of one Harry Edward Styles, miner-become-farmer in the brand new state of California, and his hired hand, one Louis Tomlinson. AKA Harry goes to San Francisco for supplies, but ends up with more than he bargained for.

An Advent Calendar fic.

🔹the prettiest customer (and the cutest barista) by fearsparks / @onlythebravest (G, 1k, Louis/Harry)

“So there’s this guy,” Harry repeated. “And I really like him.”

“Is he cute?”

“The cutest,” Harry said with a bright smile, turning around to face Louis. His cheeks felt warm, but he ignored it, pushed past it. “Prettiest boy I’ve ever seen.”

“Ooh, tell me more.” Louis rested his head in his hand.

(Louis is the pretty customer that comes in and orders hot chocolate while Harry is the cute barista that takes his order.)

🔹party behaviour by fearsparks / @onlythebravest (T, 1k, Harry/Louis)

“Harry darling, get me a beer.”

Without looking at him, Harry flipped Louis off, causing Louis’ group of friends to laugh and ooh some more.

“Why’s he doing that?” Anya asked.

Harry lifted one shoulder in half a shrug as he said, “He’s just trying to show off to his friends. No big deal.”

(Harry and Louis are at a party, where their behaviours aren't exactly the best.)

🔹If you ever feel alone (Don't) by @beardyboyzx (G, 9k, Louis/Harry)

Louis is too busy worrying about helping his mum and paying the bills to let himself enjoy his teenage years and hang out with his friends. Enter Harry, who will help him reconcile with his friend and understand the difference between feeling lonely and being alone.

🔹Softer, Softest by @berzerkshires , @littleroverlouis (E, 1k, Louis/Harry)

A lazy Sunday afternoon of Harry appreciating the softness of Lou's body.

🔹Perfume Purgatory by @littleroverlouis (T, 4k, Louis/Harry)

Louis is enduring the purgatory of selling perfume as a seasonal employee at the department store where her girlfriend, Harry, is employed.

She still hates the mall but needs the extra cash to purchase Harry a special gift.

🔹Snow Squalls & Kitty Paws by @littleroverlouis (G, 8k, Harry/louis)

Louis and Zayn own The Future is Meow, a bookstore-slash-cat café, and are spreading the holiday cheer to their customers this Christmas Eve. A few morning snow flakes turn into a full-blown blizzard and before they know it, the safest place for them and their employees to spend the night is the bookstore.

Shop regular and object of Louis' affections, Harry, is also snowed in with them— as is another man who Harry seems more than friendly with.

Will it be a Christmas miracle if Louis survives the snow squalls, a seemingly unrequited crush, and a curmudgeonly tortoiseshell cat?

🔹we were lucky once, I could be lucky again by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (M, 4k, Louis/Liam)

It all started with a big battle. One of those big end of the world battles where Louis feels so incredibly powerless, where he knows he won’t be able to do anything but stand on the sidelines and wait for Liam to come back. Not to downplay his own abilities, which in some circles are considered formidable, but when it comes to true danger – well, there is only one Slayer.

The Slayer.

Into every generation and all that, Louis knows it, but that doesn’t mean that he has to like it when Liam puts himself in danger every night. It’s bad enough when it’s just your run of the mill vampire, it’s different when words like apocalypse and end of the world get thrown around. Liam takes it in stride, as he always does, jokes about how they need to come up with a plural form of apocalypse because they’ve lived through more than one in their time on the Hellmouth, but there’s always this tightness in Louis’ chest when he watches Liam head out to another battle, unsure whether or not he’s going to come back.

Unsure if this will be the last time he’ll see him and he’ll have to live with his regrets for years to come. With the thoughts of what could have happened.

🔹Ho Ho Hopefully by safetyfilm / @larrieblr (T, 5k, Louis/Harry)

Attached to the gift, just under the bow, was a paper tag, and Harry wished desperately that he could write his own name there. ‘To Louis, from Harry.’ What a dream that would be. He’d grown fond of Louis over the time that he’d been watching him, wishing that he could be part of Louis’ life, of his world, regardless of the fact that the only thing Harry had ever known was working for Father Christmas—or Nicholas, as he’d preferred to be called. The one where Harry is an elf in Santa’s workshop, and Louis is one of the humans he’s been assigned to.

🔹It's All Come and Go by @haztobegood (E, 2k, Louis/Orville Peck)

“Truck stops are like the original Grindr.” - Orville Peck, Coachella 2022

🔹Change of Plans by @haztobegood (G, 2k, Louis/Harry)

Harry and Louis plan to visit their families over Christmas. Sometimes, plans don't work out.

🔹Stole My Heart by @haztobegood (NR, 2k, Louis/Harry)

“Oh my god, Niall.” The door slams shut as Harry rushes into the flat. He’s still panting from his rush to get away from the scene of his crime. “You won’t believe what just happened!”

Niall is sitting on the couch in their tiny living room. He looks up from his laptop. “What happened?”

“The worst thing. I’ll never recover. I just reached into a box of free samples outside that new chicken restaurant. Only it wasn’t free samples. It was a man. Holding a box of chicken nuggets. His chicken nuggets. I stole this man’s food, Niall!”

🔹St. Elena by @allwaswell16 (NR, 1k, Louis/Harry)

When Harry’s illness worsened, the crew of the Ace of Spades sailed to the island home of Captain Grim.

An Ace of Spades timestamp from Zayn’s point of view

🔹If The Fates Allow by zita17 / @louisandtheaquarian (M, 25k, Louis/Harry)

A serendipitous meeting led former boy bander and current pop star Harry Styles to fall in love with a boy named Louis nine Christmases ago. Six Christmases ago, that boy left him to raise a baby that wasn’t Harry’s. And, well, Harry never quite got over that. But this year, he gets a second chance at first love.

A love letter to second chances, unconventional families, and Christmas in New York. Loosely inspired by James Arthur’s Emily and Dickens' A Christmas Carol featuring Liam, Niall, and Zayn as the ad hoc ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. The ingredients for this Christmas treat include a wallop of a blizzard, a pinch of angst, a dollop of fluff, several cups of clichés, and The Rockefeller Center skating rink as a supporting character.

Title is from Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. (Frank Sinatra or Judy Garland version, reader's choice!)

broken elbow, karma rules (NR, 2k)

by yourdelicatepov (@harrysmaison)

“Louis…” Harry spoke, cautiously as his heart started beating at an irregular pace. “W-where are you? Right now, where are you?”

“I’m at the hospital-”

“ What?! The hospital?!! Why are you at the hospital?! What did you do? Are you hurt? Are you dying? Are you fucking okay? Just tell me, Louis!”

“I’m fine . Just hurt me arm a little-”

“Hurt? What do you mean ‘hurt’? What happened- Louis what did you do?” Harry nearly screeched into the phone. 

“I said I’m fine ! It’s just a little fracture, nothing big-”

Harry couldn’t hear the next words said by him because he felt the phone slip from his arms. The clattering sound was not heard because it fell on the cushion of his couch. Bloody soft things. 

or,

louis fractures his elbow which causes the unleash of drama queen harry. chaos ensues.

Hi, anon, so there are actually fics out there about this incident and also ones about the last time he broke his arm. (I sighed out loud when I typed that. Poor Louis.) Anyway, I am going to just give you those here. If you'd like another rec with more general character injury fics, just send me another ask and I'll add it to my rec list schedule!

I did see some ficlets floating around tumblr...that you can find here and here . Not sure if there were others, too.

✧-Louis Broke His Arm Fics-✧

✧  Let Me Take Care Of You by @tommokat (M, 3k)

"I’ve fractured my elbow, but I won so—”

“You what?”

or

Louis' in Poland with a fractured elbow and Harry's in California, but all he wants is to take care of him.

Louis breaks his elbow, Harry is upset he can’t be there to take care of him. All he can do is take care of him through the phone, the best he can…

“Louis…” Harry spoke, cautiously as his heart started beating at an irregular pace. “W-where are you? Right now, where are you?” “I’m at the hospital-” “ What?! The hospital?!! Why are you at the hospital?! What did you do? Are you hurt? Are you dying? Are you fucking okay? Just tell me, Louis!” “I’m fine . Just hurt me arm a little-” “Hurt? What do you mean ‘hurt’? What happened- Louis what did you do?” Harry nearly screeched into the phone.  “I said I’m fine ! It’s just a little fracture, nothing big-” Harry couldn’t hear the next words said by him because he felt the phone slip from his arms. The clattering sound was not heard because it fell on the cushion of his couch. Bloody soft things. 

or, louis fractures his elbow which causes the unleash of drama queen harry. chaos ensues

✧ Take the Fall by stylinsonslytherin (G, 1k)

“…But, coming to think of it, perhaps lady luck was not very happy with him or it was just Murphy's law that on that day in New York, promoting his newly released second album, Louis found himself in a somewhat known situation after his first show – on the floor, clutching his arm and rocking back and forth as the pain made his vision swim and his stomach turn”.

Or the one inspired by mister Louis himself who can’t seem to stay in one piece. Honestly.

Never in his life had Louis ever thought about his gender. He’d never really given a thought of who he was and what he wanted to be, as an individual. Being gay was different, to him it felt different than this. The flamboyance was expected, and accepted. He owned it, owned the fact that he was flamboyant. Exuberant. A bit too stylish. Different. Of course, there was no denying that. But when it came to his own gender, he’d always thought he was just one of the lads. Or well, he definitely used to think that until Harry painted his nails and then called him ‘pretty’.

The Holes of My Sweater by yourdelicatepov

Not Rated // 31k

Harry dusts off the flour from all over his body. His cheeks hurt from how much he laughed. Louis' face is flushed from it, brown hair looking like a nest. Yet Louis' eyes are lit with so much joy, bluer than the oceans, laughter dancing in the little green specks. Harry feels himself get lost in them, Louis looking right back. 'Has Louis always looked this pretty?' He can't help but think.

They're snapped out of their trance by the sound of the oven beeping. Harry blinks. Louis is covered from head to toe in flour, looking an absolute mess. Why did Harry think he looked pretty?

Or, Harry is the new teacher, Louis helps him settle in, it's the sweater weather and no one's falling in love with their new, kind and charming best friend. No. One

(includes, harry's cat being 'the mood' all the time, zayn pining for liam, lilo never getting along and niall throwing parties every chance he gets which may or may not willingly trigger these friends to convert into lovers)
