Much love to all, and have a happy and healthy 2022! Let’s get reblogging, and look out for the completed post
Harry and Louis are neighbours, who are maybe a bit too close, and a bit too in love. Things get intense when on the 1st of December Louis has to go to Doncaster, when his mum’s appendix ruptures and she is forced to stay in a hospital. The Christmas in the Tomlinson’s household suddenly may not happen, since there is no one to prepare the dinner. Harry, being the lovesick idiot that he is, decided to take on the challenge.
At the behest of his agent, former child actor Louis Tomlinson signs on to star in the HeartStamp channel’s first Christmas movie featuring a same-sex love story. It may be cheesy, but at least it’s a path to get back into the industry. Now if only his co-star would stop being so critical, and confusing, and overwhelmingly distracting.
A job promotion of his dreams, an eight month long distance relationship, a cancelled train, and an emotional misunderstanding - Louis is just trying to make it home for the holidays.
It’s Christmas Eve and Harry is having a bad day so he ventures to his local Christmas market to cheer himself up.
Based on this prompt:
Spilling hot chocolate/coffee/a hot-fucking-beverage on the other and insisting on paying for a new drink and new clothes for them, unaware that they’re rich and very capable of buying themselves another coffee. Besides, they don’t know that this jacket is Louis Vuitton and cost more than the knock-off Gucci belt that had caught their eye in the first place.
Harry loves the Christmas season, but she does not love her office Christmas party. Every year it’s the same old story, all of her male coworkers that she thought were nice, normal guys during the year turn on a dime and won’t stop hitting on her. She backs herself into a corner when she accidentally blurts out that she can’t attend the party with any of them because she’s bringing her girlfriend.
Prompt: Louis meets Anne at the graveyard, both visiting their lost loved ones for Christmas time. Anne invites Louis over for Christmas dinner and meets Harry. Love happens
A holiday singles event is not where Louis wants to be tonight, but there he is, helping his best friend find love. Just as Louis is settling in, ready to have a terrible time, he meets the fittest alpha he’s ever come across.
“So…” Louis begins, just when Harry starts working on his neck again, dipping down to his collarbones. “Since we’re clearly both alone and drunk enough to even remember this later, or one another for that matter, and I find myself in quite a vulnerable out-of-self situation where I cannot even think straight, staying in a total stranger’s home for the holidays in a town I can’t even remember the name of, and considering you showed up and you’re like insanely hot, I think—”
Louis cuts himself with a moan, and Harry lifts his face up to lure the blue-eyed boy to continue his proposition. Louis takes a deep breath.
“I think we should have sex.”
Or, The Holiday AU. In which Louis decides to trade houses with a total stranger he finds online for the holidays, not knowing he would be finding more than himself in that little town in England, after the original home owner’s brother comes barging through the door.
Harry never expected to spend Christmas in the Emergency Room, but it might just be the (second) best thing to ever happen to him, after the birth of his son, of course. Because while in that hospital waiting for his son to be discharged, he met the most beautiful pediatric nurse he’s ever seen.
Or the one where Harry is a single dad, Louis is a pediatric nurse, and Arlo needs to stop eating hazelnuts.
Louis follows Harry the short distance to his flat, but abruptly stops inside the door, looking up. “What in the world is that hanging from your ceiling?” He doesn’t mean to be blunt, but it isn’t often one comes face to face with a toy frog dangling by a string from the ceiling.
Harry finishes kicking his shoes off. “That, my good sir,” he presses a quick peck to Louis’ cheek as he walks by, “is a missile toad.”
—
Louis and Harry are neighbors who are both suddenly and unexpectedly alone on Christmas Eve. And no one should be alone on Christmas.
“Am I too old to ask for a cast that isn’t just plain white?”
The nurse laughs easily, shaking her head fondly as she continues to scribble on her little clipboard. Louis sets his free (non-broken) hand under his chin and sighs, peeking at the clock for the fifth time in the last minute. Waiting for doctors sucks. Waiting for doctors to come and fix up your throbbing hand while your head pounds and it’s Christmas- that really sucks.
Here is the (constantly updating!) posting fest for the @1dchristmasfest 2021. Fics will be posted daily, so please do reblog, leave kudos and comments for our lovely authors! (Fics will go live at 7pm GMT on publication date.)
As we progress through December, the published stories will be linked here, too.
Harry and Louis are hosting Christmas this year and they couldn’t be more excited. The lights are twinkling, the cookies are ready to frost; what could go wrong?
We’ve all dreamt of getting locked in a shopping mall overnight, running around with no abandon. But what happens when you actually do get locked in one on the night of Christmas Eve? Oh, and just so you know, you’re not alone.
Or a tooth rotting fluff filled Christmas fic based on the prompt “Getting trapped in a shopping mall together during after-hours in which they were Christmas shopping too hard.”
Feat. an extremely generous and teddy bear hearted Harry Styles and a head over heels Louis Tomlinson.
