Another Night to be Harry’s by Anonymous | E | 953
They were so compatible, Harry and her. It was why he always came back for more and why she let him. Taking things beyond sex had just never happened.

loopholes by Anonymous | E | 2231
Together since high school, Harry and Louis took sacred vows of purity together as a pledge to wait until marriage. They can’t have sex, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do other things.

And Love The Aftertaste by Jiksa | E | 4296
Nick has, somewhat accidentally, been sleeping with Harry’s sister. He should probably tell him. (Probably.)

boom, boom, don’t you wanna go by Anonymous | E | 6147
It doesn’t take much to convince Harry to participate in Lambda Sig’s annual ceremony for graduating seniors. She’s hooked up with a few of the brothers already anyway, as lackluster as they were. She has to have her legs and bare bottom half on display for the rest of the brothers in the senior class to see, but she’s always kind of liked being played with and definitely likes being on display. She’s graduating in a few weeks anyway. What’s the worst that can happen?
She doesn’t expect contestant number fifteen to blow her mind in the first round. He doesn’t let up.

nothing else will do by gravitycentered | E | 9064
Since she’s been thinking about it nearly all the fucking time, she has to ask someone impartial, “Is that weird? That I haven’t?”
Though she can tell that he tries to remain neutral, Louis sees from his face that it is quite weird. “Um,” he mumbles at first, attempting to look thoughtful. “I… don’t know.”
“So that’s a yes.”

Louis has never had an orgasm. Harry thinks she deserves one.

Watching You Watch Him (Friend to the Undertow) by myownspark | E | 10644
While vacationing in Fiji, Louis and Harry accidentally stumble upon Liam getting edged by Sophia. Then Louis helps Harry find nirvana. There’s voyeurism and porn but a character study and lots of fluff too.

When Shoulders Fall by meth_breath | E | 14334
They say the things we fear the most have already happened to us. Zayn politely disagrees.
(Or the one where Louis and Zayn agree to give Perrie a threesome for her birthday, and accidentally sex each other too.)

In the summer of ‘83, Louis is fifteen years old and in love.

this is my jam by disgruntledkittenface | M | 4513
The guy’s eyes are so blue that Harry can’t tear his gaze away, even as he moves to the beat. The searing light shade is magnetic; he finds himself leaning in and yelling, “This is my jam!” only to earn a laugh from thin pink lips that Harry’s definitely going to be dreaming about tonight.
“Your jam?”
When the guy yells back over the music, his blue eyes sparkling and his lips twisted in a smirk, Harry’s chest literally puffs out with pride at earning his attention. His obvious approval. Tongue-tied, Harry nods and closes his eyes as he lets go, the music reverberating around them. All of the usual inhibitions that keep him in the corner at parties fall away and he bounces around the center of the dance floor, waving his arms above his head. Somehow his towel stays on, even as he starts to think he wouldn’t mind if it fell off. Fuck it. He finally made it here, he’s damn well going to enjoy it.
Harry goes to a gay bathhouse for the first time. 90s AU.

beneath the sound of hope by YesIsAWorld | E | 6620
After Louis Tomlinson leaves the set of the Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979” music video, it’s not the band or the experience that he can’t stop thinking about—it’s the curly-haired boy he met while filming. Determined to track that same boy down, he sets off on a short journey and ends up figuring out some truths about himself along the way.

BLVD by kingsofeverything | E | 12091
It’s the first week of summer break and Harry just wants to relax and enjoy his vacation in Myrtle Beach.
If only he could stop making an ass of himself.

honey, honey by resurrectdead | E | 13194
It just feels weird to not be able to tell his own mum about how nervous yet over the fucking moon happy he is right now, because this tape isn’t for neither Niall nor Liam. It’s for, well.
It’s for Harry bloody Styles. The boy that makes his insides feel like sunshine.
Or: It’s 1988, and Louis has to make a mixtape for Harry

When he’s finally in the hotel, crammed into the tiny phone booth, all he can do is stare at the faded paper sign glaring down at him from the wall.
1 Minute = 11.82 USD Mexico –> United States
He has less than a minute to break his boyfriend’s heart, and it’s going to cost him twelve bucks to do it.
There’s sand under his fingernails as he dials the number.

Let The Boys All Sing And The Boys All Shout For Tomorrow by Lunarrua | M | 18429
It’s February 1988. Thatcher is in power. There’s a new drug sweeping through the clubbing scene. In Manchester, it’s the eve of a major protest and a new musical movement. And when Nick finds Harry looking lost outside his favourite chip shop, it’s the start of a weekend that will leave an indelible mark on both their lives.

I Just Want You to Know Who I Am by gettingaphdinlarry | nr | 21729
It’s Niall Horan’s senior year and it’s going to be great. He’s got a solid group of friends, a new job, and he gets to take his favorite class again, as long as he keeps a journal his creative writing teacher will never read.
When his crush takes the same class, he’s glad he has something to confide in.
Even if that something is a notebook that can’t talk back.

Among Lavender Fields by homosociallyyours | E | 70354
At twenty-one, Louis Tomlinson is more than ready to shed the girl next door image that’s been with her since her entry into film in her childhood, but with a mother and father steeped in Hollywood tradition it’s felt impossible. Meanwhile, Harry Styles is a young, struggling musician new to London, friendless yet eager for the next phase of her life to begin.
When French director Marie Coutard casts the two of them in her film, it’s a chance for both to break away from the people they’ve been. Together, they struggle through an acting process that’s new and unfamiliar for both of them, learning more than they could’ve imagined about themselves along the way. As they spend long days picking lavender and long nights sharing the things they’ve never been able to tell anyone else, their love blooms.
Will the flower fade, or will the love they make among lavender fields be one they carry with them to the end?

The Man Who Saw the Devil by metal_eye | E | 4249
“The Devil was staring at him.
"Louis shifted slightly in his seat and scratched the back of his neck, picking up his program and reading the title of the play again: L’homme qui a vu le Diable.
"He was wearing a satin red suit, one that certainly stood out amongst the usual greys and blacks of other Paris theatres, and instead of merely appearing the two times that the main character summoned him, this Devil followed the other men around on stage as they spoke and played cards. He kept looking over their shoulders and mocking their awkward movements, jerks and twitches compared to his own lithe prowl. The theatre audience, most readily impressed by gruesome effects and sensationalism, couldn’t take their eyes off him.
"Neither could Louis.”
Paris, 1912. Louis is a frequent patron of the Theatre du Grand Guignol. Harry is a performer. Tonight he’s playing the Devil.

Withdrawal Was the Weeping by QuickedWeen | E | 11090
Confined by life and society, Harry spends her Sunday afternoons walking aimlessly about the countryside as it’s her only source of freedom. One Sunday she is aided by the most beautiful woman she has ever met, but not everything is as it seems. Was it a trick of the light? Was it Harry’s own active imagination? There is nothing to do but try to find her again.

The People’s Playground by musketrois | T | 17867

It looks like Coney Island will be more than Harry bargained for.

fondre ton absence by scrunchyharry | T | 41315
Harry had never really given much thought to the future. He preferred to let life steer him forward and to follow in the footsteps of Louis, his best friend from as far as his memory went, his lover, his everything. Louis knew better than he did what was good for him.
It changed drastically when Louis was ripped away from him, drafted and sent to the front to fight in a war that Harry had always been sure would never reach him. Too young and too sickly to follow, Harry was left on his own for the first time in his life.
When he thought things could not possibly get worse, Louis went missing at the Somme and was declared dead. While everyone buried and mourned him, Harry never moved on. If Louis were dead, he was sure that he would know it. Their lives were too entwined, he would know if half of his heart had died.
Determined to find Louis, Harry did everything he could in his quest to be reunited with him, except prepare for the state Louis might be in.
He did not prepare for the harsh truth he would have to face: was love possible without memories?

What happens when a Duke who will only marry for love and a courtesan who only sells it create a public ruse? Well, nothing boring for sure. An Edwardian AU.

Paint The Sky With Stars by kiwikero | M | 62870
On 10 April 1912, Harry Styles boards the finest ship the world has ever seen. Still grieving the death of their mother, he and his sister are being sent to America to live with a callous uncle who cares more about his business connections than family. Harry prepares himself for a long, disappointing voyage alone in his stateroom.
Louis Tomlinson has borrowed and saved, and finally has enough to purchase a Third Class ticket to America. With all of his belongings in a single ruck sack, he boards the Titanic filled with hope for a brighter future. Never one to sit still, he can’t resist exploring the massive ship, and soon goes sneaking into First Class in a stolen steward’s uniform.
By a twist of fate, Louis finds himself in Harry’s stateroom, entranced by the most attractive man he’s ever laid eyes on. He keeps returning day after day, even if he doesn’t understand what it is about Harry that continues pulling him in. That’s all right; Louis has a week to figure it out, and Harry is plenty willing to help.
Except they don’t have a week. They have four days. Because on 15 April, their entire world will be turned upside down.
Or, the historically accurate Titanic AU with a happy ending.

Such Good Luck by casuallyhl | E | 66205
Louis smiles at Harry’s words, leaning into his touch. “Tell me again.”
Smiling, Harry takes Louis into his arms. Pressing gentle kisses to his face, Harry murmurs, “In six months’ time, I will have my twenty-fifth birthday. On that day, my portion of the inheritance will become legally mine. And I plan that very day to announce to my family that I have found love.” Harry chuckles as he runs his lips lightly along Louis’ cheekbone. “That, in fact, I found love when I was twenty-one years old, and that I have loved and been loved every day since.”
Or, an Edwardian AU where Harry is a young aristocratic lord and Louis is a working class dairy farmer. Secrets are a necessary part of their relationship, but Louis has one that could topple their whole world.

They fight, and then they fuck.

Tear You Down by Randominity | E | 2137
So like say Louis thinks Nick is just a hanger-on and is only using Harry to bolster his own fame, while Nick thinks that Louis is an immature brat and should stay out of Nick and Harry’s friendship. They somehow end up in a bit of a shouting match and end up having hate!sex, maybe it’s in a club bathroom or at a party or something and they’re possibly a little drunk?

it’s not a walk in the park to love each other by hayley24601 | E | 24461
“Um, where is your stuff? Have you even packed?” Harry tries not to sound irritated. Louis looks up to level him with an unimpressed glare.
“If you had bothered to pay attention to the news, you would know that I’m pretty sure I can’t leave this apartment.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Harry demands, hoping his panic doesn’t show. If Louis missed his flight, Harry will personally pay out of pocket for a new one. He is that desperate for his alone time.
Or the one where Harry and Louis are roommates forced to quarantine together, but they hate each other very much a lot.

We’re Like Bumper Cars by sincehewaseighteen | E | 31716
“I have won, I won the final cross country. I win, Harry–”
“Whoever gets to fucking nationals wins it, pretty boy,” Harry teases. “You haven’t won. Interhouse is nothing compared to nationals, or interstate. You haven’t even won interschool. You can dream all you fucking want that you’ve won.”
Louis becomes so ignorant he decides to no longer eye the boy taunting him. “Trophies prove it all, Styles.”
“Where’s your trophy for biggest asshole?”
“Where’s yours for winning cross country?”
Harry growls before hooking his fingers in Louis’ belt loops and bringing them together for a flat kiss.
Or the AU where Louis and Harry are rivals of the century and Cross Country competitors before things get complicated and they play pretend.

Paint Me In A Million Dreams by green_feelings | M | 112805
Harry’s one of Hollywood’s biggest actors, has made a name for himself in prestigious films and lives the life of a superstar. There’s just one thing missing to make it picture-perfect, but the one Harry’s in love with is completely out of reach for him. Enter Louis, one of Hollywood’s biggest actors himself, who just came out of the closet and taps new genres in the industry. When Louis sacks the role Harry auditioned for in Scorsese’s next big film, their irrational feud starts. Who could have guessed it would get even worse when for promo season, their teams decide to present them as a couple for publicity?
In short, Harry’s in love with someone and doesn’t care about dating anyone else, Louis never felt home in L.A., Liam writes love songs for someone he shouldn’t write love songs to, and Niall makes everything better with good food.

Don’t Wait (Don’t Be Late) by LadyLondonderry | G | 2981
Harry’s ditched his coffee (Liam looked at him reproachfully for dumping it) in favor of some sort of super smoothie (“the right way to get rid of a hangover, Lou”) and Louis watches raptly as his sinfully large hand wraps all the way around the glass. It’s a hand he’s stared at often, with focused attention to to the way the bones in his hand appear when he’s gripping things, and the little veins that criss cross up to his knuckles, and -
“Is that a ring?” Louis squeaks.
There, on the ring finger of his left hand, is a thick gold band. Harry puts down his smoothie and looks at his hand in surprise. “Yeah,” he says slowly, examining it. “It is.”
