Rec List: Liam-centric fics

It means the world to me how much y'all SHOWED UP for this list -- I can't express how grateful I am to see the love for Liam. With 29 fics, it is officially the second-largest list we've had all year. It has a wide range of ships, from Ziam or Larry to OT5 or Lilo, as well as genfics. There's also as usual a variety of types of fic -- word counts from under 1,000 words to over 100,000, ratings from General to Explicit, stories from Porn Without Plot to So Much Plot to Both Porn And Plot.

I can't believe it's been a month tomorrow -- it feels like it just happened, and also like it's been forever, and also like it's still a bad dream that isn't quite real. Grief catches you in the strangest places, surprises you when you least expect it. To everyone still trying to wrap their minds around this tragedy, trying to figure out a way forward through it -- I see you, I love you, I'm glad you're here, and I support you in whatever you need.

I promise to never forget Liam's kindness, his generosity, his joy, and his heart. I hope these fics serve as a reminder of everything that he was, and everything he will always be to us.

Light Spills in a Flood by unscattered_horizons (162088, Not Rated, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

This is an OT5 + Shawn fic about growing up and into oneself alongside dear friends

Reccer says: This is a tender, thoughtful, meditative fic about love blooming

hold all our secrets by justanothershadeofblue (10000, Explicit, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: Anger, misogyny, forced closeting.

Post-canon contemporary ABO AU where Liam has been a closeted Alpha for the entirety of the band. He is then outed by a tabloid, and the boys have to come to terms with his secret and how it has shaped their lives.

Reccer says: This one is a little painful in how it goes through each boy’s response to this bombshell, from anger to grief to happiness, including Liam himself. There are five fics in the series, and it ends at a good place, but the author was planning a sixth at the time of Liam’s death. Not an easy read, but a rewarding one -- packs an emotional wallop!

Coconut kiss and a rainbow tail (Italian-language fic) by Sararinaldi87 (Not Rated, Multi)

Louis and Liam are sailing the seas when they shipwreck. Luckily a certain mermaid is there to help...

not even a landslide or riptide could take it all away by we_are_the_same (49177, Mature, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post Warnings: Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Sextape, Leaked Sextape, Liam Payne getting outed, Depression, Emotional Hurt, Suicidal Thoughts

When Liam gets outed via sextape, his whole world collapses around him. In the midst of all the chaos, an unexpected lifeline appears in the form of a DM from Zayn: If you find yourself needing to escape, go here. Even though they haven’t talked in years, Liam is just desperate enough to go. He doesn’t expect to find himself on a farm in the middle of nowhere, face to face with a man he hasn’t seen in years, but who somehow looks more familiar to him than the face he sees when he looks in the mirror.

Reccer says: I think it's just beautiful. Everyone should read this

I ain’t ever fell from a love like this by beardyboyzx (733, General, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

When he looks at the words, after a few seconds, Zayn feels this sort of relief feather-thrum inside of him — a brief excitement grasping him by the neck, gripping hard, as Zayn’s fingers run over the things he’s just written, admiring how they hold the true nature of his yearnings. And this weird ancestral knowledge Zayn’s got ever since he’s met Liam that first time — before One Direction, before X-Factor, when they were just fourteen and chatting awkwardly waiting for a Happy Meal. The stupid knowledge that this is it for him. That Liam is it.

you try to stop it tumbling (but on and on it goes) by We_are_the_same (2715, General, Liam Payne & Harry Styles) – fic post

Harry helps Liam study

Reccer says: Their friendship is very sweet in this

neither wanting more, neither asking why by justanothershadeofblue (40000, Explicit, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

OT5 Soulmate AU - none of them expect to be fated into a group soulmate bond upon their 18th birthday. But given that they are, what do they do?

Reccer says: A lovely character study of each individual and their role in the group as the relationship develops. Slow-building romance and smut.

My Light by The_Halcyonic_Lachesist (3528, General, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Liam didn’t know he “swung that way”, until he did. Or, Liam’s journey through his gay awakening.

you came into my life by disgruntledkittenface (57180, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

The Queer Eye firefighter episode, where Liam is the "hero" they're working with, and Louis is his best friend who didn't expect to get therapy along the way to Liam's makeover.

Reccer says: This fic makes me cry the most wholesome healing tears. Everyone is so good and kind, and everyone cares so much about each other. The Fab Five, Louis, his family, Liam, Niall, Nick, everyone is wonderful.

Catching eyes across the room by beardyboyzx (12000, Not Rated, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Zayn is nineteen when he gets his gift. People say that when you get your gift, you can hear the Magic’s voice whisper what it will be to you the morning of your birthday: Zayn has always wondered what Magic sounded like — but most importantly: what will It say to him?

Now I’ve Got You in My Space by unscattered_horizons (159034, Not Rated, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Zayn and Liam are both dance students at Roehampton University in London. They're just starting their third and final year, and they've spent the last two at each other's throats, bickering and grumbling and competing at every opportunity. They have a handful of mutual friends, all of whom are sick of being in the middle of their tension, wishing they would just fuck and get it over with already.

Reccer says: This writer writes with brilliant emotional intelligence—this fic shows both Li & Z as flawed characters (but who are still open to possibility!)

it’s a long shot just to beat these odds by we_are_the_same (13945, Teen, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post Warnings: Anxiety

Louis convinces Zayn to partecipate on Dinner Dates, a sort of cooking show mixed with a dating show. He's paired with world-famous popstar Liam Payne, whom Zayn is a big fan of.

Reccer says: Leaving here one of my fav quotes: Liam bites down on his bottom lip, really giving it a proper thought, and Zayn wonders if he knows just how good he looks. Not just right now, with those perfect teeth on show and his hair done up in a simple but elaborate quiff. But in general. He sort of wants to tell him, but he sort of wants to hear Liam’s reasoning more, so he stays quiet, smiling at him when Liam’s eyes meet his. “Well, I liked what you said, on our date. That you’d like to get to know me. The real me, not the version that you’ve seen in magazines or on the red carpet. Remember?”

Remember Me as a Time of Day by justanothershadeofblue (70000, Explicit, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: discussion of drugs and alcoholism

It's the 20th anniversary of the One Direction hiatus, and the powers that be have decided that it's time for a reunion tour, and ideally, an album. Can five middle-aged lads thrust into a house in the middle of nowhere to make music sort out two decades worth of hurts, grudges, and resentments and come together with enough love to make a show - and a relationship - that works?

Reccer says: Long-form character study of what it would look like for them all to come together and fall in love all over again as real adults with a lot of baggage. A really healing read, in light of the loss of Liam - absolutely my headcanon for what would have been, if they’d been given the chance.

the birth of love like a force of nature by we_are_the_same (22220, Teen, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post Warnings: Talks About Sexual Identity

After moving into a new house, Liam decides to introduce himself to the neighbours. The next thing he knows, he’s tied to a chair and threatened by a small army of fairies.

Reccer says: I just love how magical it is, the author is really good at writing fantasy (and writing Liam)

One to Grow On by yeah_alright (3333, Explicit, Louis Tomlinson/Liam Payne) – fic post

Louis is a sex worker and Liam has booked himself a private session for his birthday to finally properly explore his interest in spanking. This is part of a series but you can definitely read it on its own.

Reccer says: Okay it's pure smut but Liam is so endearing and Louis takes great care of him. And it's so hot!

You are the magic in me by beardyboyzx (2882, Not Rated, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Zayn is eight when he meets the Prince for the first time. His dad is being knighted — the King has seen the way he fought to defend his village from the enemies of the Kingdom and has decided to gift him a piece of land and a title.

Reccer says: This author really has a way with words. I enjoy the writing no matter how many times I read it.

That's Happiness To Me by louislittletomlintum (25000, Explicit, Liam Payne/Louis Tomlinson/Zayn Malik) – fic post Warnings: Drugs/alcohol consumption

a porn with plot zouiam uni au with all the predictable antics and multi pov

Reccer says: i'm particularly proud of how i wrote the smut because writing 3somes is a challenge, i'm also quite happy with how the banter between all of the boys came across and it felt special to write a liam that was more similar to how we met him in x-factor when he was a little more uptight

Chew Toys, Table Scraps and Fresh Starts by zmmf (94300, Mature, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post

New beginnings, dogs, enemies to friends to lovers

Reccer says: Deep emotions treated patiently and gently. OT5 friendships. A hopeful read.

in the hope of open hands by justanothershadeofblue (21000, Teen, Niall Horan/Zayn Malik/Liam Payne/Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post Warnings: forced closeting; sexism; the ABO equivalent of misogyny; canon-typical sexualization of young Harry

Five times the pack is protective of omega Harry, and one time Harry protects them. Featuring Louis and Liam as alphas, Zayn and Niall as betas, and Harry’s as the band's lone omega. A year and some change in which they’re all falling for each other and not quite getting their shit together (until they do, of course).

Reccer says: A little bit achy but comforting story told in alternating PoVs of the boys finding their footing as a band, and eventually a pack. A couple really good moments between Liam and Harry and Liam and Louis.

A Dim and Airy Spark by green_feelings (50000, Explicit, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Zayn’s worked hard to become C.E.O. of his own music label -- a position that’s rare for omegas in an alpha-dominated world. It’s not always easy to get people’s acceptance and respect, but Zayn makes it work with the help of his best friend and business partner. When they sign new pop sensation Liam Payne, none of that seems to matter anymore and Zayn has to face some of his greatest fears, and open up old wounds. Or, it has taken Zayn ten years building his walls up, but it takes Liam no time to rip them all down.

If you let me be your man by Lightwoodsmagic (5129, Explicit, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

Zayn can't help but trail after someone's scent when he starts his heat in the middle of their history exam. The man offers to help Zayn get home safely when he literally runs into him, but Zayn mistakenly thinks it's an offer to help with his heat.

Reccer says: It's from Zayn’s POV, and he is so enamored with Liam (same)

even with our oath by starcarnivals (20648, Teen, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

Liam has a teashop. Thinking that they could be a good match, and sad that thay are both single, he sets up his coworker Louis with his friend Harry. Harry and Louis don't like each other but agree to fake date for Liam's sake, to make Liam happy.

Reccer says: Very cute story, fun banter and music talk, and Liam caring about his friends :)

If it makes you feel alive (it's alright) by Beardyboyzx (18842, Teen, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post Warnings: Emotional infidelity, internalized homophobia

Lhen Liam was ten years old, Justin Timberlake released Sexy Back. Liam still doesn't know why, but it felt like a turning point, like something that fixed the ever-pending axis of his existence. or: in the first year of university, Liam learns some things about himself.

Reccer says: It's a beautiful discovery of sexuality

Bradford Bad Birb by teaandtumblr (4700, General, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne)

What if Zayn were a duckling? Liam had never meant to be stalked by a duck, but after it had introduced itself via a meme for god's sake, he didn't really have much of a choice. That and the fact that there's something haunting in its eyes.

No One Like You by myownspark (19924, Mature, Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson) – fic post

"Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide."

Reccer says: Such a delicate, amazing story. Liam and Niall realise through old letters and paintings by Louis and Harry that the two French artists were lovers, not enemies.

sadness is a little boy looking out the window by we_are_the_same (6477, Teen, Zayn Malik/Liam Payne) – fic post Warnings: Depressed Liam Payne, Suicidal Thoughts, Bullying, Homophobic Language, Homophobia, Depression, References to Depression

Liam is twelve when he receives the key. It’s given to him on his birthday, in a red velvet box, and something about the weight of the box in his palm gives him pause, makes him hold his breath when he unwraps the bow around it. [...] Because this kind of key, it doesn’t just open any door. It reveals what you need most, when you need it most, and it can only be used once.

Reccer says: The angst in it feels so real, so raw

Midnight in Paris by Beardyboyzx (555, General, Liam Payne & Louis Tomlinson) Warnings: Referenced drug use

Q: What is the craziest thing Louis has ever done? A: [...] He left me on my own while I was being arrested nearly by a French policeman [...] or: Liam gets in trouble in Paris.

Reccer says: Poor Liam gets left alone with the police, oh no!

Any favorite A/B/O tropes?

I have 2 A/B/O series that I’m going to be working on soon! One is alpha!niall x omega!reader (side ziam and Larry) and the other is a whole one direction pack fic where reader is the omega and the rest are alphas and betas.

Are there any elements you would want to see? I feel like I included a lot in my alpha!harry story but I’m sure I missed some. I’m hoping to keep these all fresh and different so I’d love to include some new aspects! And of course I’ll reuse some favorites (scenting? Omega drop? Can’t write a story without those!)

Feel free to comment requests/ideas here, ask a question on my page, or message me!

Favorite Fics 2023

Happy 2024! I always have a hard time narrowing down my favorites. A few stats this year, I read 155 fics (according to my admittedly not 100% correct database), and it's low because I've been watching LGBTQ+ media and reading less. I had 50+ fics that I rated 5/5, so narrowing down to 14 was me cutting out shorts, holiday fics, and rereads. These are in no particular order.

All is now Harmed by Fondleeds

It's still that dreamy kind of dark, nothing seeming real, but he knows that it's time to go, to whistle for Pippa and eat whatever he's got left in the fridge and start the drive down to Molly's. He can't seem to open the door. Maybe he doesn't want to face it, this new thing. Having Louis here feels like a betrayal. Harry tries not to think about what his Dad would have to say if he saw the journo sleeping on their pull-out, here to shake a settled sheet and watch the dust fly again. - AU. Harry's a farmer, Louis writes for The Age, and it hasn't rained in the Bourke Shire for six years.

Why I Like It: This is Excellent, but after 123K words, it's a WIP. Unfinished since May 2022, but that said, the writing is gorgeous, and I think that alone makes it worth the read.

2. Angels Fly by LilyBlue28

Harry is a lonely omega in the North Western White River Pack who is uncharacteristically drawn to nature and his now outdated primal instincts. He fills his days with going through the motions and clinging to the one actual friendship he has in the omega Zayn, and when he gets a chance he sneaks away to the edge of their territory to sit with the trees and the wildlife and sketch his favorite part of the river. But what happens when one day he spots the pack alpha, Louis, having an intimate moment with something, or someone, unexpected? Suddenly his quiet, nearly invisible existence gets upended, and secrets he never wanted to know quite literally won't leave him alone, and even when he tries to stay away, he keeps being pulled back into Louis' turbulent orbit. A magical love story featuring a generations long grudge, a menacing curse, and secrets that keep pulling them apart. Will they be able to find a way back to one another through the dark?

Why I Like It: Really integrated plot, soul mates/wolf story. ABO, but more wolf than human. Very involved plot. Well done.

3. Be There by mission2feelike

Niall sits down dramatically, arms flopping to his side before he leans forward and looks right into Harry's eyes. "So, your ex-boyfriend, who broke your heart four years ago, is coming to stay at your house for six weeks? And his daughter, your daughter, is coming to stay tonight?"

Harry nods, worried if he speaks, he'll be yelled at again, but then Niall's face softens, his ever-present smile is back and Harry hears him breathe out a small chuckle. "Okay, for the record, I think this is the worst idea you've ever had, but how can we help?" or The one where their family has been torn apart and their hearts broken, but an accident, a snowstorm, cinnamon rolls, and the adorable Josie force Louis and Harry to finally face the truth, and each other.

Why I Like It: Harry and Louis take custody of Lottie's baby, but Louis breaks H's heart by sending him away. pining. kid fic. Harry is famous. Had some very lovely domestic moments, and some tear jerkers. Louis was a bit of a jerk at the beginning. Side of Ziam.

4. Butterfly Gun by Eravain - no link, this is off AO3, but DM me if you want me to share it with you, as I have a PDF.

Harry has never been much of a fighter, but—as always—where Louis Tomlinson is concerned, a lot of things stop being true. 1940's AU. Even after six years apart, they can't forget their shared wartime childhood.

Why I Like It: I loved this gem--childhood friends to lovers. Historical Fiction. Really well written.

5. Counterbalance by YesIsAWord

Harry Styles loves two things: teaching ballet and racing motorcycles. Those two worlds collide when his greatest rival on the track, Louis "Tommo" Tomlinson brings his tiny siblings to Harry's class.

Why I Like It: Pretty short but very effectively written story. Pacing was good. Loved the dichotomy of Harry as a ballerina and as a motorcycle driver. 

6. Danger I Can't Hide by CelticSky

"Don't," Tomlinson's voice was low, gravelled, hiding out in the night where only Styles could hear it. "Stop it. Calm down. You can't do anything." Styles' chest heaved. Tomlinson had him pinned against the wall, his forearm strong against his ribs. The night air crackled around them and all he could hear was the overlap of their breath, desperation, exquisite need and pain and desire and longing and lingering resistance. He couldn't take his eyes from Tomlinson's lips. The way they fell open to expel air against Harry's jaw. His tongue darting out to wet them between desperate words, making them glisten in what little light there was. His eyes were lidded and unseeing as he himself looked down to stare at Styles' mouth. ~~~ Flying Officer Styles and Sergeant Tomlinson would have likely never crossed paths in a time of peace, their ordinary lives laid out neatly, predictably before them. But then the world became unrecognisable. All too soon they grew accustomed to fear, surrounded by death and destruction, not even their very freedom a certainty anymore. Until they found each other. Comfort. Companionship. Understanding. Another person to lose.

Why I Like It: Amazing. Research into WW2 and what it was like to be queer and hiding a relationship. loved the love story, but also the human side of the war. Very well told.

7. Have Love, Will Travel by Kingsofeverything

Rather than spend the summer working at their desks, Louis and Harry are given the opportunity to crisscross the country together in a tiny camper, filming their adventures for a YouTube series. It soon becomes obvious to their viewers that there's something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.

Why I Like It: super cute. Road Trip Larry. Lots of state parks, travel. Louis has a crush and of course they end up together.

8. Heading for Limbo by KingsofEverything

Childhood best friends who've fallen in and out of touch with each other since Louis' family moved away when they were thirteen, Harry and Louis find their paths crossing again and again. Each time, no matter how many miles apart or how many years it's been, it's as if no time has passed. They fall back into their easy friendship, until life intervenes and sends them on their separate ways once more. When Harry discovers some life-changing things about himself, Louis is there for him, however he needs. But it's all temporary because Louis has plans that will move his life from New York all the way to L.A. and the distance isn't the only thing between them. The pieces of their twice broken hearts are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Why I Like It: I really liked this one. Slow burn, friends to not-friends, to lovers, to exes, to lovers. Word of caution, H has a gf for part of it, but it's a really nice slow awakening of his sexuality. TW for some angst/pining.

9. Glass Closets and Greenhouses by TiredTiredTz

Charlton Athletic defender Louis Tomlinson and worldwide sex symbol Harry Styles are rumoured to be hooking up after a viral video filmed at Harry’s Wembley show was posted online by Tommo’s twin sisters. Sources close to the pair tell us the couple have been dating for a while, with rumours of house hunting, marriage and even kids on the cards! Styles, 29, is as well known for his whirlwind love life as his chart-topping music. Most recently linked to British fashion designer Alex Millet-Sloan, Harry has stayed tight-lipped on rumours of any romantic rendezvous between himself and footballer Tomlinson, 31, yet fans online are convinced that all evidence points to #Tomlinstyles being the real deal.

Why I Like It: Could have been longer. A bit over the top meet cute w/ the twins setting them up, but over all well done. 

10. It's Fine to Fake it 'Til You Make ('Til It's True) by Sunflouwerhabit

Harry dreads an impending visit to his hometown, where he’ll be forced to reunite with a newly engaged ex-boyfriend, a childhood best friend turned near stranger, and a family who never understood just how desperately he needed to leave. In the midst of it all, a ludicrous Twitter proposition brings him to Louis.

Why I Like It: I loved this one. Super cute characters, a little bit of miscommunication, lovely, lovely boys. 

11. Like an Endless Summer by objectlesson - no link, I have this as an epub

Louis is an riding instructor at a summer camp, and Harry is a fellow counselor wh he’s been successfully managing his crush on for the last two years. That is, until Harry shows up this year leveled up and lethal, and all Louis’ formerly perfected veneer of nonchalance melts like a popsicle in the sun.

Why I Like It: absolutely lovely. GREAT depiction of the uncertainty of a crush liking you. slow burn, but you see it coming the whole way. 

12. The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by KingsofEverything

Louis' life is steady and calm, moored by his marriage, and tied to his hometown, but after a chance encounter with another man, it'll never be the same.

Why I Like It: really liked this one. TW for cheating. Middle aged man in a loveless marriage realizes he's gay and falls in love with a co-worker. Could totally be a Hallmark movie.

13. Until the Pearls get Lost by LadyLondonderry

London, 1933. Harry Styles, alpha, elusive bachelor and happy third wheel to his coupled friends, receives a visit from one Liam Payne, begging for his help. Liam’s childhood friend Louis is about to become the talk of the city; left at the altar because the mating bond was rejected, Louis will spend the rest of his life in an institution unless Liam can find someone to take him in and care for him as he recovers. Most omegas with failed bonds are never the same again. With rumours swirling around about the reason for the rejected bond, Harry gives in to Liam’s pleas. He hasn’t the slightest idea how that decision will shape the rest of his life.

Why I Like It: This felt like a fairy tale. Great writing. A bit left to the imagination. Almost werewolf-y. 

14. Write This Down by Sunflouwerhabit

"And Louis responds by kissing him. He closes his eyes and presses their lips together and hopes it’s enough to distract from how those words cut and extracted critical pieces of his heart, his soul. Louis kisses Harry to avoid sobbing, yelling, pleading, begging him to never, ever use words like always or never or I promise, because they can’t. They don’t have an always. Nevers will forever remain a mere dream. Time has run out for commitments or oaths or pledges and if Louis is going to be okay- if he’s going to enjoy this time with Harry and then let him go and still feel whole- he can’t let himself start thinking long term. He can’t let this become emotional; something more than silliness and fun and sex. He can’t hear Harry say he’s proud of him when he doesn’t know if he’ll ever see him again after this week. 'I miss you,' Harry murmurs, his breaths warm and equally shaky. 'All the time.' Louis kisses him harder."

Why I Like It: I really loved this contemporary romance. Lots of angst, boys being stupid thinking they are protecting each other by not communicating. But ultimately a lovely story. New favorite.

My fic in Sims 4 ... (part 4)

(As usual, warning about possible uncanny valley effects!! xD)

I recreated OT5 and several of the locations in WBSMF in Sims ...

Part 4 - Harry and Niall's LA house (from chapter 22):

In Sims I built it all on one floor. This was also one of my very first builds, and somehow I just couldn't figure out how to make two floors look good ^^; And then I just got used to it like this. :3

Exterior views (At the time I couldn't figure out how to put an iron gate in front of the front door?? Or I didn't have enough game/content packs or something to get a suitable iron gate.)

The living room/music room

Louis playing the piano

The kitchen - with the mosaic in the floor, too :3

Patio and pool

Harry floating like a mermaid in the pool ♥

In the foyer towards the dining room

And towards the living room

Harry's bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom. All the furnishings in the closet are on the walls, so they disappear in the 'walls down' modes ... ^^;

~

Bonus 1: Harry's room in Edinburgh

I built a version of Harry's flat share in Edinburgh, but it didn't come out nice enough - that was another of my early builds.

And I haven't felt like doing it over now that I have more skills and custom content at my disposal - mainly because due to the limitations of the game, it's not possible to furnish Harry's room like it's supposed to be, with the loft bed over the door, so why bother ... :|

(I guess one possible solution would be to make the whole flat over two storeys, so Harry's bed would be on the upper level, and the rest of the room would be open to below. But while the flat does have high ceilings, that would be much too extreme xD)

Here is one end of his room, but it's looking really bleak and cramped and not cosy like it's supposed to be! There should be more stuff and pictures and fairy lights all over ... :3

~

Bonus 2: autumn fun

Louis playing in the leaves while Ziam walk by

Larry just figured out that they can 'woo-hoo' in the leaves, but then Liam came over and started playing in them ...

So Larry found some other leaves!

Afterwards, Louis started playing one of the guitars in his inventory, and Harry went on his phone.

(To be continued ...)

One Line, Any Fic

I was tagged by @moonflowerlei Thanks for the tag, sweetie!

Pick any 10 of your fics, scroll somewhere to the mid point, pick a line, and share it! Then tag 10 people.

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do posted works or WIPS, so I figured why not do both?

Posted Works:

Face to Face (Ziam, Explicit, 57286 words)

The two of them turned to look at Liam who was holding his phone and looking utterly bewildered and a bit like someone had killed his cat; or rather turtle, Zayn corrected himself, remembering that Liam had turtles.

The Last of Him (Sterek, General, 3067 words)

He realized now as he lay atop Scott's chest on the ground, his friend growling lowly beneath him, that running after all he'd drank wasn't the wisest idea he'd ever had.

Parental Approval (Sterek, Teen, 34617 words)

"Um...okay," Stiles said, wondering if Derek was listening to himself but moving on because he could admit that the woman was objectively attractive, but he couldn't help but be bothered by the fact that she kept appearing in the investigation although the photo was a candid, not a mug shot, so she hadn't been a suspect.

Full Moon Ficlet #370 - Dye (Sterek, General, 1044 words) (Note: I included this because it was the first FMF I wrote)

“Yours looks distinguished like a college professor or something. Plus you’re in your forties! I’m still in my thirties and I look like someone dumped a bunch of flour on my head.” 

Peek-A-Boo (Sterek, Teen, 5573 words)

“When Stiles was your size,” his father started, earning an interested look from Derek and a glare from Stiles, “he begged his mom to let him help wash dishes one night. So, we put him in an apron and stood him on a chair, just like you are. As soon as he got started, he began bitc-complaining. ‘Why do I have to do all the work around here?’ ‘No one does anything.’ I suspect he learned it from his mother.” 

Derek and Their Pack (Sterek, Teen, 1845 words)

He hated that there was a chance he would need protection against Derek and a part of him knew that if his Mate were still feral, it wouldn’t matter if he killed him. Stiles would be dead by morning anyway.

Nora, Too (Ziam, General, 3109 words)

“Bisexuals exist, Zayn,” Yaser said, smirking when Zayn covered his face with both hands.

Magic, Indeed (Sterek, General, 1126 words)

Derek walked around the counter, following Stiles. The magic smell was stronger behind the curtain and Derek paused. He had to wonder if Stiles even knew that he carried so much magic within himself but didn’t know how to ask. 

A Bad Boy (Sterek, Teen, 573 words)

Stiles dropped his head before muttering, “I’m sorry, Daddy, I’ve been a bad boy.”

Forever, Leeyum (Ziam, Teen, 9689 words)

“If I’m sick, it’s because of the storm, not you. Unless you’re a superhero, who has the power to spread illness and disease. Oh shit, are you Germ-Man?” Zayn asked.

WIPS (Do not question my working titles - they make sense to me, but feel free to send any other questions you might have about these):

Howling Wolf Ranch (Sterek)

“So, you’ve never dated? Or is there a Mrs. Derek hiding in the cellar?” Stiles teased, wondering why the idea bothered him.

Author/PA AU (Ziam)

Liam thought over the meals he’d eaten so far, smiling as he remembered the courgette chips. “He’s a sneaky cook,” he finally said, laughing when Roo expressed confusion. “He sneaks fruits and vegetables into things that shouldn’t have them, and he uses courgettes instead of potatoes for chips.”

High School Reunion AU (Ziam)

“I may have left England, but it was never my intention to leave your lives,” Liam said. He hesitated before continuing, trying to school his voice so his next statement wouldn’t come out as accusing as it sounded in his head. “I wasn’t the one who didn’t answer the phone.”

TFLN5 (Sterek)

“I knew you two were like The Odd Couple,” she commented. “I could just tell last night.”

Sweetwater Sterek (Sterek)

Stiles saw Jackson smirk and knew the asshole was planning to lie to get free beer. Jackson may be rich but if he can get away with getting something for free, he’s the first one to do it.

Summer Camp Fire (Sterek)

Stiles squawked in mild offense as Derek grumbled, “We aren’t a charity case or a freak show.”

SelfDefense (Sterek)

“Come out of the closet, Dude,” he called, snickering, the sound dying when Derek appeared from the darkness in a pair of Stiles’ sweatpants that hung loosely around the waist but hugged his thighs in a way that made it difficult for Stiles to swallow.

SB2018 Story 1 (Sterek)

The young pup vibrated with excitement as he stood in the center of the living room and yelled, “Ta-ta, they here!” as soon as he laid eyes on Derek. “Hi, Dee Dee.”

Programmer/Boss AU (Sterek)

“Hey, Princess,” Danny called out, chuckling when she stuck her tongue out and blew a raspberry at him. “I’m so sorry. Hey, Warrior Princess.”

Penpals (Sterek)

“Alright. Baby Bunny,” Derek agreed, happy that his sister was smiling again as she skipped out of his room and he heard her going down the stairs and calling out a greeting to their older sister, Laura, who was coming in the door from her day at the junior high school.

Anyone still reading? I have a billion more WIPs and my muse is being an asshole, so if you have any questions about any of them, please send them on my way - maybe your question will be what kicks my muse into gear.

Wow the whole plot sounds very interesting indeed! I love the idea that the others dont quite trust louis after what he has done even thought its gonna be enemies to lovers on larry side. I am curious if louis makes special relation apart from ot5 when he went mia for 4 yrs or if it was to still exist.

Apart from the agent fic on what about apocalypse(abo) and bound? Could you talk about them too?

Ah yes, the other four definitely don’t trust Louis anymore, because he defected, he chose the agency over their family and disappeared. I wouldn’t trust him either! And even worse for Harry because I’m fairly certain he was already falling for Louis before Louis’s betrayal. What are you curious about? Whether Louis found someone else to be with during the four years no one saw him? I’m not quite sure I understand what you’re asking about there. Sorry!

As for the Apocalypse ABO, I have two of those: the unnamed Abandoned fic, and When the Dust Settles. Which of those did you want to hear more about?

As for Bound by Blood and Magic, I’m in love with this short OS! It’s a non-abo werewolf fic starring Louis as the unexpected pack leader because he saved Harry, and Harry and Louis being werewolf soulmates who can’t officially be together plus monsters (this one is also a post-apo fic, where it’s a monster apocalypse and I’ve added werewolves to the mix!) and LiLo being childhood best friends and Ziall being from a different/enemy pack! The five of them have to find a way to work together (because yea, I always do that), to save first one of them, then possibly save their world because they’ve discovered a secret that may finally help them defeat the monsters!

As you can tell, I haven’t written a more coherent summary for that one, but it’s got dark!Harry, protective!Harry, somehowalwaysmanagingtobeprotective!Louis, Ziall and Ziam vibes, all of them are werewolves, enemies to friends and magic! Because what’s life without a little magic thrown in, right?

Interested in any of my WIPs? Feel free to send an ask!
