Happy 28th! Here is my March 2024 fic rec, organized by word count, from longest to shortest. You can view my other fic recs here. Enjoy!
Sunshine, Baby! by staybeautiful / @harruandlou (106k)
Louis was the first one down the row for their group. If he hadn’t been they would have never met.
He was turned around, walking backwards and saying to Liam, “No, I’ll get you to a real footie match next,” when he bumped into someone.
“Oops,” Louis laughed, tripping over his own feet. A hand curled around his upper arm as he nearly fell over the seat in front of him. “Sorry about that, mate.”
He turned around, still teetering in his vans, to apologize again, but the words dried in his throat. Another hand gripped his other elbow, steadying him, but all Louis could see were green eyes and dimples.
“Hi,” the man laughed, a bright, bubbling sound. “Are you okay?”
Or Louis is in his first year of law school, Harry is a junior on the swim team dreaming of the Olympics, and they both agree that they don't have time for anything more than friends with benefits... right?
Follow Your Arrow by Anonymous (78k)
Harry was the golden child, blessed in every way; Niall was the charming miscreant, a bad boy; Liam was the future-son-in-law parents of daughters dreamt of, and Zayn was the kid parents wished was their son. But Louis, Harry thought, Louis was the special one.
It's senior year and everything is about to change.
Where We Landed by blueskiesrry / @blueskiesrry (70k)
The leaves were green the last time Harry stepped foot in Holmes Chapel, a stark contrast to the candy apple, butterscotch painting them now, years later. Harry first notices them on the train, gazing out the window with a downturned mouth. A warm something floods his stomach–memories, Harry imagines, of him as a boy, longing for the days when he’d live elsewhere and have to take this very train home for the holidays. He wonders how it’s possible to have once felt eager and euphoric at the sight of changing leaves yet now to feel nothing but tired. He sighs softly, turning away from the trees to look at his daughter, half-curled in his lap, asleep.
or: harry returns to his hometown with his sick daughter and more reminders than he bargained for of the boy he once loved when he left a handful of years ago
You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home by styleandsin / @styleandsin (43k)
Now, as he’s standing in the doorway, he’s trying not to get choked up. He hadn’t realized how much he missed this: the smell of his mother’s baking, the sounds of each of his family members, the sight of some of his old toys scattered about the foyer where his littlest siblings had presumably left them. All these things scream home, and he hadn’t felt at home since he left this house eight years ago.
Louis needs a break from everything, from acting and the constant pressure of life in LA. He decides to move back home for a bit, some time with his family is exactly what can lift his spirits. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love. Both with the town he hated so much so that he couldn't wait to leave it years ago and with a curly haired florist that was the complete opposite of the guys he'd often meet in LA.
Something About Liminal Spaces by kingsofeverything / @kingsofeverything (34k)
Searching for inspiration for his latest book, and hoping distance will help heal his broken heart, Louis Tomlinson heads to the village of Piha on the west coast of New Zealand’s north island.
There he meets Harry Styles.
Fifteen years older than Harry, Louis tries to keep his distance, but Harry is impossible to avoid and harder to ignore.
At Risk, I Fold by clare328 / @bearmustard (15k)
2015 is a stream of hotel rooms and whisky on the rocks, tired glances and touching hands under tables. It’s the bears and the bees under a rainbow sky, and Harry and Louis have to figure out how to grow up together, instead of apart.
Wedding Bells Will Never Ring For Me by lousmoonshine / @lousmoonshine (14k)
After a failed proposal a few years back, Louis gets an unexpected invitation to his ex - Harry’s – wedding
Some Kind of Night Into Your Darkness (Colors Your Eyes With What's Not There) by larryismylifesource (5k)
Harry’s body buzzes with heat, like a current underneath his skin, because it’s been too long and his husband is right here and for once they have no obligations other than each other and he just wants.
“Lou.”
And Louis must sense it, the way the atmosphere shifts against him, the way Harry’s eyes get all big and dark with need, because he meets Harry’s gaze and then yanks him down for another kiss.
or, the boys get a day off in the middle of tour and harry and louis use it to their advantage

Hello! If I could, I’d like to ask if you could write a eula x yn drabble. This is my first request and I really like your writing. If it could be fluff and romantic that would be great and you can go easy with story. I’m too gay for this woman….thank you!
summary. eula shares her scarf with you.

notes. why am i writing another snow-related fic? because it finally snowed! i didn’t have the day off but a delayed opening is enough to make me happy. i find happiness in thinking that eula would be the type of significant other who would do small things for you. also is this considered fluff? i don't know-
“eula, the forecast says it’s going to snow,” you informed your girlfriend who was walking beside you with linked arms, peering over your shoulder.
“is that so? hm. we’d better move quickly so you don’t get too cold,” she replied simply.
the two of you were taking a walk in the park despite the wintry weather to take a break from work. your mind was certainly much more clear now that you weren’t cooped up at your desk and you had your lover next to you as well. when you informed her of your deluge of work, she frowned and swore vengeance upon those who made you work.
you were making your way back when you suddenly saw something small and white fall in front of you.
“it’s snowing already,” you mumbled in observation, putting your hand out to catch the snowflakes that were falling in greater numbers. you looked to see what eula’s reaction was to the snow dancing in the wind and she was simply looking at you.
“what’s wrong?” you asked, wondering why she didn’t look pleased.
“you’re not wearing a scarf. your neck will be cold. we can’t have you getting sick on my watch.”
before you could say anything, eula unraveled the plaid scarf around her neck and wrapped it around both of your necks. the scarf was already warm from her body heat and smelled like her perfume. it was only after walking a few feet that you realized how ridiculous the two of you must have looked while sharing a single scarf. however, the concern that your girlfriend felt for you warmed you more than the scarf did.
you gave eula a surprise hug and when you looked up at her with a smile, you detected the pink tinge that was spread across her nose, cheeks, and even reaching her ears.
