Chubby Bunny 2k E by: @littleroverlouis

summary: Harry spends his Easter Sunday basking in the spring breeze while playing games with the smallest Tomlinsons, and a package of marshmallow Peeps.

Louis is stuck in a sweltering bunny costume for the enjoyment of all around him.

Harry offers him a chance to peel himself out of the costume and indulge in some of the fun.

comments: my gosh that last line. i love. i can’t wait to see what they have in store for next month.

Feel my breath upon your thighs (3k) E by: @larrydoinglaundry

summary:As Louis proceeds to talk on the phone, Harry gives in to the blinding temptation. He drops down on the floor and crawls between Louis’ knees, craning them even further apart with ease.

Louis cocks his eyebrows at him, and Harry’s not quite sure if he’s challenging him or if he’s genuinely confused. Judging by the way he jolts when Harry brushes his hand over his crotch, he didn’t expect Harry to make such bold moves.

Harry rubs his hand over the bulge until he feels Louis growing harder. He looks up, seeing Louis watching him intently, so he bats his eyelashes as innocently as he can.

“No, no, I hear ya,” Louis says on the phone but his eyes never leave Harry’s. “Just got distracted.”

comments: ah what a way to start april off. so hot. i need to read more insta attraction books with a slight plot.

In the Cards (3.2k) NR by:@homosociallyyours

tags: fluff, tarot, established zayn/liam, bluffing

pulling on your heart to push my luck (4.3k) E by:@mercutionotromeo

comments: this author is one of my favorites. seriously if you don’t have their notifications on then what are you doing?? this is amazing. so fucking hot and cute and ahhhhh. just all of it. i love how you get small background pieces and it all makes sense.

tell it like an old song (26.6k) E by:@outropeace

summary: or where Harry is a bit lost (just like his memories), his best friend is hiding something, the love of his life is gone and love… love is like flowers.

comments: amnesia fics can go in two of four ways. it’s either the doctor tells them that anything new is awful for them or they say that everything is fine and they have to get used to it. second thing that changes is whether or not they get their memory back. i always love reading these to see which pairing it makes. i’m still confused on why liam called lisa ‘lis’ was a big deal though. the scent thing is so trippy.

You’ll Breathe Me In (You Won’t Release)(95.4k)E by: @loaded-gunn

note: there is artwork in this fic. it’s absolutely beautiful but i get that it might not be someone’s thing so be careful with that if you want to avoid it

summary: Or, the AU where Louis is a 25-year-old driving instructor and Harry is a 17-year-old virgin who’s really awful at seduction, except for the time he gets Louis to fall for him and fuck him senseless and take him on kinky adventures.

comments: this is the famous driving instructor fic. i tried to read it when i first started reading larry fanfics but for some reason, i couldn’t do it. i’m not sure why cause i really like it. i absolutely fucking loved this. harry’s failed but successful seduction techniques and all of paris and the epilogue are all amazing. i swear i’m living for the epilogue right now. and very good communication between the two.

note: this is locked by archive of our own so you have to have an account in order to read it.

summary:Louis leans a little closer. It’s not difficult – not with the way he’s already pressed so close, straddling Harry’s hard hips with Harry’s equally hard dick nestled tightly between his cheeks.

The paramedic clears his throat and looks away.

(Harry and Louis get a little stuck.Literally.)

comments: i will always love this fic. harry trying to make polite conversation while literally stuck with louis is so funny. love niall’s comments as always.

tags: au - non-famous, au - college/university, au - hospital, completely inaccurate medical knowledge, zayn niall and liam are all background doctors, who have to help with harry and louis, bottom louis, top harry, also this is rated explicit but it’s literally just 4k of awkward fluff, there is some medical imagery so please be cautious with that

We’ll Be Seamless (52k) E by: @dinosaursmate

note: this is locked by archive of our own so you have to have an account in order to read it.

summary: Green reblogged an old photo of himself. It was from back in October, a Halloween special. A pulse shot all the way through Louis because this photo was his absolute favourite, and it had taken the rest of the year for him to wean himself off of it.

Green was on his knees, arms stretched out in front of him with his fingertips digging into the surface of his bed. He was wearing a pair of cat ears on his head, his curls falling forward. His back was arched, and in the foreground of the picture, Green’s bum was high in the air, a long, black cat tail sitting neatly between his cheeks.

Louis spends all his spare time scrolling arty nude blogs on Tumblr but amongst them all, Green is his favourite.

comments: so much sexual tension. i love it so much. definitely worth a read cause the build-up is phenomenal!!
