The Ground Below is Above my Feet
How many times have you died?
Louis’ a fucking expert at it by now.When he falls asleep Louis experiences the deaths of those around him. The universe has a strict ‘eye-for-an-eye’ policy when it comes to life and death, so he stopped trying to play God a long time ago. Except with Niall. He doesn’t usually regret saving Niall unless the idiot’s dragging him out to socialize. Louis’s not one for socializing. Doesn’t like being able to put names to the faces, it tends to sour his breakfast when they’re dead by morning.
Niall is relentless until Louis agrees to join in in a night of fun. Through the crowd he zeroes in on that boy, the one behind the mic with shiny eyes and shiny lips and shiny teeth. He looks like fun. Louis quickly finds out Harry, much more of a man than a boy where it counts, is a lot of fun. Over and over again they collide, until they’ve hooked up so many times it can’t really be called a No Strings Attached sort of thing anymore.
Every night Louis leaves before his eyes can shut, knowing the time before he dreams of Harry’s death is running short. The issue is, by now he’s so got so many damn strings attached Harry’s practically braided into his skin.

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.

all I want for Christmas is some decent mulled wineby@moonbeamalice
12,943 words // Explicit
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.
One problem: she doesn’t have a girlfriend.

“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.

A Christmas Kissby@parmahamlarrie

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.

Slip into Your Armsby@ohpleaselarry

“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.
