Twelfth Night by QuickedWeen | G | 6374 Queen Anne holds a masquerade ball to try and find matches for both her children on Twelfth Night. While anonymity reigns, Prince Harry spends the ball getting to know a handsome stranger.
One Day You’ll Say These Words by allwaswell16 | M | 11601 Growing up together in Yorkshire has led to a lifelong friendship between Louis Tomlinson, the future Marquess of Rotherham, and Harry Styles, the heir to a viscount. When Harry suddenly inherits his uncle’s title and estate much earlier than expected, Louis must watch his friend struggle under the weight of these new responsibilities, including searching for a wife with a dowry large enough to save his estate. However, sitting idly by as Harry looks for a bride brings some unexpected feelings to the surface. A friends to lovers story set in the Regency era.
If I Loved You Less by allwaswell16 | E | 36139 Beautiful omega Louis Tomlinson is set to make his come out in London society and determined to find a mate in his first Season. With the help and protection of his oldest friend, Lord Niall Mendes, he takes Society by storm. Being a wealthy and titled alpha means Lord Harry Styles has grown used to avoiding unmated omegas…until now. This Season he finds himself at every Society event just for a chance to speak with the omega with the flashing blue eyes. Louis has the aristocracy at his feet and all the suitors he could hope for, but his secrets may ruin his chance at a love match.
Blossoms in Barren Land by kassio | T | 50300 Mr. Louis Tomlinson is a dutiful son to Lord and Lady Tomlinson, a caring older brother, and a beloved fixture of their village. He has always done what was expected of the Tomlinson heir. An unexpected new resident fascinates Louis and awakens feelings that threaten to throw his perfectly-ordered life into chaos. Mr. Harry Styles, however, has plans of his own, and may not be what he seems…
For the Sake of Propriety by panda_bear21 | M | 52360 Louis Tomlinson is the caretaker of an estate that is not truly his, and when his Uncle calls upon him to take it back, Louis knows he will soon be out on the streets with four overly zealous sisters to care for. His only solution: wed the eldest two off and pray for the best. When an even better solution unexpectedly presents itself in the form of the charming Mr. Styles, Louis is faced with a difficult choice. But as with all things in the regency era, reputation very well may threaten to outweigh the fleeting matters of his heart.
The Earl and His Duke by QuickedWeen | E | 52518 Lord Tomlinson, the elusive Duke of Leeds, has suddenly emerged in London for the first time in six years. He is believed to have been abroad. He is believed to have been widowed. He is believed to want to withdraw from society. Harry doesn’t know what is true and what isn’t. He only knows that the older brother of one of his best friends is back in town to stay, and that time has taken him from merely the most beautiful man Harry knew, to the most handsome man to ever walk the earth. A man whose gaze probably still skips over Harry like he doesn’t exist the same way it did when they were young.
Lend Me Your Hand by QuickedWeen | M | 63354 Society has long since decided that the soulmarks everyone is born with are entirely unfashionable. They’re just another way for people of a lower class to scam their way into marrying above their station. Lord Louis Tomlinson, Viscount Loring, on the other hand, has always believed that he will find his soulmate one day. Despite preparing for a match his whole life, he is entirely unprepared for the arrival of Gemma Styles’ younger brother. Harry Styles has been traveling and away from society for over a year. Coming back, he intends to spend time with his sister, and slowly reacquaint himself with life in town. He doesn’t need to wait around for a soulmark to determine how his life will play out.
won’t you wear my watermark by bottomlinsons | E | 90012 The new Earl of Harrisson is a young man, an impulsive romantic, forced to shoulder too much responsibility far too soon. He is also Louis’ soulmate, but there’s nothing to be done about that. At least, as far as Louis is concerned. The Earl, it seems, will take some convincing. (A slow burn Regency AU featuring secrets, seduction and, our favourite, soulmarks.)
The Murmur of Yearning by MediaWhore | M | 93264 Four years ago, Harry Styles was forced into a marriage of convenience to enrich and ally both his and his promised’s families. The sudden, and slightly suspicious, death of the Marquess of Haxshire, however, brings great disturbance to Crescentfield Hall and, as his late’s husband’s closest male relative, Harry unexpectedly finds himself the head of a family he never felt he belonged to. Between a meddling distant cousin hellbent on inserting himself in Harry’s life, his wicked and mistrustful mother-in-law and his late husband’s advisors refusing to help or take him seriously, Harry struggles in the fight to keep what he’s earned and make the Estate finally feel like home. Luckily, he doesn’t stand completely alone and finds himself an unlikely ally in Mr Tomlinson, the elusive Land Stewart who has been taking care of the property in the shadows for years. Louis Tomlinson is caring, patient, and unlike everyone else, he doesn’t seem to think Harry committed a murder.
Thank you so much for tagging me to share a wip @fractured-ice!! Here is a snippet of an exchange between Duan Pengju and Han Ying in Tian Chuang:
“I must offer you my congratulations, Han-tongling, on your quick ascension through the ranks. Three months and already a commander.”
His tone is mild but the insinuation clear. Han Ying lets the feeling of disdain flash through his stomach.
“I thank you, Fu-shouling. Anything to serve our lord,” he responds, matching his deceptively placid manner.
“Indeed. You appear to be a new favorite of Zhou-shouling. Perhaps you really do do anything to serve your lord.”
(Wow. Fucking hate Duan Pengju.)
This snippet is from Act 1, Scene 4 in Ch. 2 of If the Sky Falls on AO3 (the Twelfth Night!Hanwenzhou fic). Now that exams are over, I’m hoping to post the next chapter either this weekend or the next
I feel like everyone who I’d want to tag next has already been tagged and posted their wips, so I guess if you’re seeing this, this is absolutely for you! <3
