Hey, can you please recommend any fics where one of the boys plays matchmaker for Harry and Louis? Thx
Hi, anon! Here are some fics that fit what you're looking for!
Captain Cupid by @2tiedships2
“Right,” Niall started, finally getting the opportunity to unleash his horrible plan. “Well, as you both know, I’m an excellent matchmaker. A human Cupid.The best of the best at finding one's mate. And I’ve decided it’s time to make money doing it.”
“Oh, God no,” Louis groaned, picking up his empty plate and placing it in the sink. He needed to escape as quickly as possible.
Or the one where Niall enlists his friends to help start a speed dating side hustle. Things don't go as planned... or maybe they do?
I Built This Bed For Two (I Built This Bed For Me and You) by felissadee
“So, about the video,” he begins and Harry crosses his arms, eyeing him suspiciously. “What?” he asks, squinting slightly as he studies Niall. “It’s called, er…” he trails off, mumbling something so quickly and quietly that Harry has no hope of catching it. “Wanna try again, Ni?” he asks, quirking an eyebrow. “It’s called…ExesCuddleAgainForTheFirstTimeInYears.”
OR Harry and Louis broke up after uni and haven't seen each other since—until they're roped into doing a Buzzfeed video together. Featuring awkward cuddling and a reunion that just needed a kick in the arse, gleefully provided by Niall.
baby, in the summertime by EmmyLouWho
“Well you’ve got to do something,” Liam argues. “It’s not like your perfect guy is just going to suddenly appear right in front of you.”
“Central to Tommo,” his radio crackles. “There’s a guy who looks like he might be getting into trouble directly in front of the tower.”
Louis and Liam both immediately turn to their left, and squint out into the surf. After scanning the waves for a few seconds, Louis spots a guy bobbing around quite a way away from the shore.
You've Been Lonely Too Long by amory
Harry has everything someone would need to make them happy: money, fame, a stunningly attractive albeit fake girlfriend, a supportive family, good friends, and a cat. But maybe he isn't very happy.
Louis sleeps around and no, he definitely does not have a problem admitting to that thank you very much, but maybe he's just a little tired of waking up alone in the morning with only a bowl of instant macaroni and cheese to comfort him.
Maybe letting Zayn play matchmaker wouldn't be such a bad thing

Naked Attraction by glitterlarries | nr | 4723 It’s just… It’s just that Louis recognises those feet, he thinks. And those long legs. And the thighs, too. And… okay, yeah, he definitely recognises the- Louis goes on Channel 4's new dating show which involves choosing a partner based on how attractive you find their naked body. Harry just so happens to be one of the contestants. Harry also just so happens to be Louis' ex boyfriend.
Play the Part (Win his Heart) by LadyLondonderry | T | 4929 Louis Tomlinson has always dreamed of being on Come Dine with Me (not that he would admit it because all things considered being on the show isn't that impressive of a dream). Now that he's finally gotten his chance, he's going to show the world just what he's made of. Or at least, that's his plan. It'd be a lot easier of Harry Styles, certified Cat Person, didn't keep distracting him.
sugar, butter, flour by EmmyLouWho | T | 5838 Louis watches Harry start to pour icing onto his half-raw, still hot cookie, and tries to hold in his groan. He isn't sure if they’ve ever had a contestant on the show who tried so hard…and yet completely failed at every single step. You can’t rig the show to help a contestant, he tells himself. Even if they’re adorable. Or - a Nailed It! AU
Walk Away, You're Messed Up by green_feelings | G | 21303 AU, in which a jobless model, a retired footballer, a struggling singer-songwriter, an underrated actor and a failed popstar move into a house together for a new Reality TV format. They don’t know each other, but living in each other’s pockets, as well as overcoming ridiculous challenges every week, they become friends. They figure that they work better as a team than as individuals and in the end, it maybe isn’t about winning the show anymore. Or: They are all second-class celebs, participating in a shit reality show, screwing over the producers and ruling the show, although they lose on every single challenge.
Playing To Win by jacaranda_bloom | E | 36732 Big Brother UK alumni Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are selected for the UK vs Australia All Stars series with a massive one million dollar prize in the offing. They’re both fit and smart and would make a great alliance... if only they can stop their feelings from getting in the way. OR the one where Louis really doesn’t want to like Harry, Harry is struggling to quell his growing fondness for Louis, but sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t fight fate.
Blockheads (Building a home with you) by bitter_leaf | E | 37764 “Niall,” Louis groaned down the phone line, exasperated. “It’s only been four hours and he’s already doing my head in. He keeps interrupting to ask stupid questions during the safety briefings, he can’t walk past a camera without doing this ridiculous hair flick, and I swear he spent ten minutes out of our insane schedule trying to get himself a pair of the pink work boots the girls have. A producer had to apologise and tell him they hadn’t thought to order them in a size 12!” -- Louis is a no-nonsense contractor with a score to settle. Harry is an idealistic interior designer who just wants the world to be beautiful. When they decide to go on The Block, a reality TV show about renovating, they’re not prepared for what else they might build together…
you came into my life by disgruntledkittenface | M | 57180 They stand around talking for a minute and then Jonathan starts to ramble, “Has there ever been, like, an unrequited gay love story in here? Like a Brokeback Mountain moment where, like, someone just fell in love and they didn’t mean to?” Louis feels bile rise in his throat as Jonathan’s eyes sparkle, pleading for a yes. He manages to look around and see thoughtful looks on his coworkers’ faces before their heads shake no. “Not here,” Liam says finally. When the Queer Eye cast and crew sweep into Louis’ small town and fire station to make over his best friend and coworker Liam, Louis’ carefully constructed walls start to fall down and he has to face his fears – and the only guy he’s ever been able to see a future with.
leave it to the breeze by hattalove | E | 81459 Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter. or a great british bake off au in which louis cares about winning and winning only, harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and niall sticks his nose into other people's business. also featuring liam as louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and zayn as a macaron connoisseur.
Spirit to a Dove by alienharry | M | 97021 For as long as it’s been on the air, Harry’s been an avid watcher of Trivialities. He’s always imagined what it’d be like to compete on the show himself, and when the opportunity arises, he’s fast tracked to join the new cast for the show’s eighth season. Alliances are formed, strategies are planned, and Harry finds himself with his very own nemesis. Between trivia and physical challenges, Harry’s making the most of his time in the house, but nothing could’ve prepared him for Louis Tomlinson.

i’m feeling really pants tonight so i wanted to try and spread some cheer in the form of a larry fic rec! these are just a few of the ones i’ve read recently, after going through a fic drought in may and june while i was writing!
(i hope all links and tags are correct!)
+ i believe him when he tells of loving me | bitterlee
this was absolutely beautiful, and you don’t need little old me to tell you that, this fic is getting rave reviews over my dash and even though it hurts (chapters 11 and 12 in particular) this one is definitely worth a read. the descriptive language and the imagery is beautiful, and the pace is perfect. it will make your heart hurt, but in a good way because the ending (at least at that moment in the characters’ lives) is picture perfect.
+ the world will open its arms | lululawrence
mpreg, but slightly different. this one is mpreg within an ABO universe, and I just love the imagery that this fic presents. i generally like my 1D fic to be set in the uk, but when it’s clear from the outset that it’s an american au i don’t mind it, and the vibe of this fic – late night, diner in a small town – just had me hooked. very nice fluffy little fic, with a  nice open (happy) ending that you can do with what your please! a lovely read!
+ in circles of you and me | theweightofmywords
for some reason i downloaded this and then abandoned it because i misread the tags and clearly didn’t read the summary properly, so thought it was a canon fic (i’m not the biggest fan of those). fast forward to this year and i found it again deep in my dropbox. i let myself read on further than the first  few paragraphs and I was very quickly hooked. the angst of FWB and dealing with hormones/emotions/feelings absolutely FUELS me in fics, and this was superb. definitely check it out!
+ you came along and moved me, honey | flowercrownclem
this one was different! a very light, fluffy read with a lot of funny moments, and a really unique conclusion. read it, you won’t regret it!
+ driving on the wrong side, thinking of you | dinosaursmate
my old faithful strikes again! sixth form au’s are my absolute favourite i think, and despite never having read a louis/marcel fic before, i loved this! geek!harry is one thing but marcel is a whole other! loved this a lot, louis’ character was such a sweetheart.
+ i left my heart in melbourne | emmylouwho
i’ve never read a fic where they’re australian i don’t think! this was a really unique concept and a lovely little read! i just wish it was longer, i was so surprised to reach the end so soon, a sign of a good fic!
+ among friends | secretswekeepxx
this was completely lovely, you root for the characters to get their arses in gear and realise what’s in front of their eyes! and totally cute side!nialee. PS - liam will break your heart.
+ fight with me fight for me | ladylondonderry
girl direction! this is set around guy fawkes night which is one of my personal favourite days and something i think makes a lovely setting for a fic because of the imagery and the romance of fireworks, and this does not disappoint! go give it a go if it’s your cuppa tea - even if it isn’t!
+ down in atlantis | polka_stripes
this one felt all moody and atmospheric and a little bit thrilling, but it’s not too dark. i couldn't wait to see what was coming next. the writing style is really interesting too! (warning for implied/referenced self harm)
i really want my fic recs to focus on lesser known fics, but I do want to honourably mention these huge fics that are amazing too: falling for me won't be a mistake and oh, we're in love, aren't we? by rearviewdreamer, where you lay by hampalpert, the massive the second hand unwinds by fullonlarrie, and the queer eye au you came into my life by disgruntledkittenface!

☆ the incident by ologist 1k
AU in which Harry and Louis are fluffy little bunnies in a pet shop and true love conquers even the most trying of obstacles: the stubborn customer.
☆ keep me in your pocket by ologist 4k
Louis has been living in a teapot since he was miniaturised by a witch, but Harry is determined to break the curse.
☆ black, white, and read all over by emmylouwho 4k
Mr 30A was quite frankly exactly Louis’ type, and now he was going to be his neighbour for the next hour on this flight. Last time, Louis had been sitting in between a large man who hogged the armrests, and a frantic mother with a crying infant. This was like winning the plane seat lottery.
It seemed only logical that Louis introduce himself, but the handsome stranger wasn’t paying him any attention at all, completely engrossed in the book he was holding in his lap. And, hang on – that was his book.
Louis is an author, heading out on his first promotional tour. On the plane, he ends up sitting next to a gorgeous stranger who is reading his book.
☆ i gotta get better by reveries_passions 5k
harry’s sex life has been pretty nonexistent since he broke up with his last non-soulmate boyfriend. after a chance encounter with someone online, he decides to enlist them to help him out. no strings attached, obviously.
or
soulmates can feel each others’ pain and harry has some kinks he wants to explore.
☆ the only one i need by aiienharry 4k
Around the house, they are known as LouisandHarry, no spaces, no pauses. If someone sees Louis rest assured Harry is at least three paces behind.
☆ five hundred and fifty by glowingout 2k
Harry and Louis have a long-distance relationship in an alternate universe where only 550 words can be spoken a day.
note: i remember reading this poem wayyyy back, so finding this fic was awesome. one of my very favorite short fics for sure
☆ the wheel breaks the butterfly by embodied 5k
“Out with it, Styles,” Louis groans. Harry’s suddenly regretting this whole thing, and she’s sure she’s beet red now, so she just blurts it out so fast she’s not sure if Louis even understands her right away. “I’ve never gotten head before.”
AU. harry and louis are roommates. girls' night ends a little differently than usual.
☆ roll the dice by allwaswell16 4k
Louis has been in love with Harry since they were eighteen. It isn't until Harry's thirtieth birthday in Las Vegas that Louis must finally decide to either tell Harry how he feels or let him marry someone else.
☆ stumbling over myself (on the way to your heart) by tolvsmol 3k
in which harry has a love-hate relationship with CO—STAR, the astrology app from hell that has made his life miserable. featuring a cute barista and a lot of blushing.
☆ somewhere i can rest my soul by togetherwecouldbealright 3k
“I’m Louis Tomlinson,” the boy says, holding his hand out. Glancing down at it, Harry starts at the word beautiful written there, just along his pointer finger. It seems someone else knows exactly how stunning Louis is.
Willing himself not to act like a complete and utter prat, Harry takes Louis’ hand in his own and quietly murmurs, “It’s nice to meet you.”
Or, the AU where the way your soulmate sees you is tattooed onto your skin.
note: i’m soft af for soulmate fics...add x factor to that? automatic winner
☆ stay gold by headscarvesandtattoos 3k
“Would you like to explain to me why I gained thirty thousand Twitter followers while I was sleeping, and why five people have yelled “Damn Harry back at it again with gold boots” at me since I got to school? I’m not even wearing my gold boots,” Harry cries, throwing his arms up in frustration.
or the damn daniel au no one asked for
☆ no one but you got me feeling this way by runaway_train 4k
Harry is well aware he should be studying or watching T.V or cleaning the kitchen or doing literally anything from a list as long as his arm instead of this, but he is. The list of reasons why he shouldn’t be doing this is probably at least double that, but here he most definitely is. He’s sitting on his bed, legs straight out in front of him, back propped up against the headboard and some fluffed-up pillows and his MacBook is resting on his thighs. His jittery fingers drum lightly on the edge of the keyboard as he stares at the tiny digital clock in the top right hand corner of the screen, willing the seconds to tick by faster. He wants to get into this and get it over with in equal measures.
Or
The one where Harry has a particular desire that only Louis can fulfil.
note: PAIN
☆ fate’s a bitch really (yes) by calamityk 4k
Louis is twenty-three now, and painfully aware that “Yes.” Is quite a common response when first meeting someone. ----- or that soulmate au where everyone has the first words their soulmate is supposed to say to them tattooed on their body

- HL Fic Library's Halloween Fic Rec -
Remember to leave kudos and a comment on the fics you enjoyed to show your appreciation! You can find our other recs here.
🎃 A Twist of Fate by perfectdagger / @starsweredible [T, 59k]
“Lucky you.” There was a mocking tone in Harry’s voice and Louis couldn’t help but roll his eyes, remembering the whole luck and fate talk he had with his friends earlier in the night.
“Sometimes,” he replied, using more charm than necessary as he placed the bottle on the railing and stepped closer to Harry, actually startling the man as he was drinking from his own water. Louis wanted to laugh as Harry dried the water that had dripped on his chin with the back of his hand, but he figured that would ruin the mood he was trying to set. “But I guess I’d be much luckier tonight if I kissed you.”
“Luck was never on my side, but I guess tonight you could help me change it,” Harry said back, in such low and flirty way Louis almost felt weak at the knees, but held himself by stepping even closer to Harry, breaking the distance between them.
Or a Just My Luck Au in which Louis, who apparently is the luckiest man in the world according to his friends, might have his fate and luck twisted when he crosses path with a handsome and mysterious bloke dressed up as Zorro at Syco Entertainment Press Corp’s Halloween party.
🎃 love is divine by stylinsoncity / @aliensingucci [M, 25k]
Being a witch doesn't help when it comes to unrequited love.
🎃 Spellbound by lovelarry10 / @chloehl10 [T, 22k]
Louis’ a shifter. Harry’s a witch. The only problem is, they’re hiding those things from each other.
Will they be able to keep their secrets hidden at the most spooky time of year?
🎃 Talk Dirty To Me by BriaMaria / @briannamarguerite [E, 13k]
They were both naked. And that seemed, again, like a catastrophically bad idea, but here they were anyway. Naked. In the dark. Only a few feet apart.
It hadn’t even been a discussion. The minute Harry flipped the lights off, they’d both shucked out of their clothes as if they’d been on fire.
“Alright darling,” Louis said, his hand wrapped loosely around his own cock. “Just remember, start slow. Lots of descriptions. Light on the hygiene, heavy on the compliments. You’ve got this.”
As if Harry were about to compete in some kind of athletic game.
Or the one where Harry is absolutely terrible at dirty talk so he asks his best friend to teach him. And the one where Louis knows it's a catastrophically bad idea but agrees anyway.
🎃 taken by the wind by @scrunchyharry [T, 12k]
When he decided to move to London with his sister, Harry thought he would finally get to learn how to control his magic. He couldn't possibly have predicted that he would fall for her neighbour.
Or the one where Harry is a clumsy witch and Louis is making everything worse just by existing.
🎃 Happy HalLouWeen by SunTomato / @sun-tomato [G, 11k]
Harry ends up with a cat. It's wildly stubborn and has bright blue eyes. It's maybe also cute.
🎃 Wasn't Looking by @berzerkshires [M, 10k]
It is well known that the first time soulmates touch they leave a vivid mark on their partner’s skin. Well one morning Louis wakes up with a bright stripe across his cheekbone and no idea what happened.
🎃 i get a little bit nervous around you by @femstyles [T, 8k]
Zayn gives Harry a little sympathetic pout but almost immediately cracks a smile again. "So, basically, Louis Tomlinson is so pretty you lost control of your powers? Isn't that like one of the first lessons we ever took?"
Harry tosses a pillow at Zayn's head with a whine. "I know! It's awful. I just need to avoid him, I think."
Or the one where Harry never had a problem with controlling his magic until Louis walked into his life. AKA the clumsy witch Harry AU no one asked for!
🎃 Just Like You by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings [G, 6k]
Harry had been planning his perfect costume and looking forward to wearing it all month. He'd gotten everything he needed to show it off at the big Halloween party, and everything was going so well. That is until he showed up and realized someone else had the same idea.
🎃 Fallen treats by @sweariwouldnt [NR, 6k]
Harry hates both Halloween and Louis Tomlinson. He does, however, love his little sister a lot. Hence why he puts on his ears and his tail and joins her, her friends and their big brother for a round of trick or treating.
🎃 a walk around the edges of your trepidation by docklands / @hershelsue [E, 6k]
Harry and Louis go pumpkin picking in Red Sun, one of the eeriest towns in England. Amidst beautiful photographs, breathtaking love and crisp autumn wind, events accelerate into a much darker perspective.
🎃 no judgement by @solitudeandchaos [E, 6k]
“I hate horror movies. They’re stupid and scary and I never sleep after them, not for weeks.”
or louis hates scary things and harry holds his hand.
🎃 My Arms Are Hungry For You by @afirethatcannotdie [T, 6k]
“Sorry, don’t tell me you’re actually a fan of the Red Devils,” says another voice, and Harry looks beyond Nick to see a guy standing there, taking long sips from a bottle.
“I-I am,” Harry stutters, pulse racing at the sight of him. His face is covered in white makeup, and he’s wearing a well-fitting white shirt, black pants, and a long black cape, a set of fake teeth in his mouth. “Don’t tell me you’re actually a vampire.”
Or the one where Harry and Louis meet at Nick Grimshaw's Halloween party and things go better than anyone could have expected.
🎃 Kings Of the Kill by @fallinglikethis [M, 4k]
A pizza boy delivering a pizza to someone who looks to be in the middle of a satanic ritual.
🎃 Everyone's Waiting for the Next Surprise by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel [M, 4k]
"Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just excited to see me?" 
Harry jumps and almost drops the bottle he's holding in his hands and whips around to see Spiderman leaning up against the doorjamb to the kitchen. Harry can't see his face due to his mask, but he knows this guy has got to be deadly attractive if his body is anything to go by. He’s clad head to toe in a skintight spandex suit that hugs him in all the right places. His thighs are so thick, Harry wants to put his face in between them. And what the hell are these shots doing to him?
He stumbles a little when he reaches out to place the bottle back on the counter. And when did he become such a lightweight? He gently strokes along the bottom part of his banana costume that's sticking out between his legs and lowers his voice as best as he can. "I am very excited to see you. Banana's got a thing for men who are also spiders."
Or the one where Harry goes to a Halloween party dressed as a banana and meets Spiderman.
🎃 Let You Lick the Lollipop by @allwaswell16 [E, 4k]
Louis may be throwing a Halloween costume party for a lot of drunk college students, but that doesn’t mean he can’t also hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. He just has to keep people from stealing all the candy--especially the very hot guy in a toga who won’t leave his candy alone.
🎃 David S Pumpkins by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup [NR, 3k]
Louis has a Halloween party to go to, and the perfect outfit to wear. It's a little odd that people in weird clothes keep appearing and disappearing. Skeleton outfits? A three piece suit covered in pumpkins?
Mysterious.
🎃 Messtival by @kingsofeverything [T, 3k]
Harry just wants some good candy for the school's annual fall festival, but someone buys it all before he can get any.
🎃 Cat & Mouse by @jaerie [E, 2k]
It's the one day out of the year that Harry doesn't have to hide and can be himself — at least he thought so. Louis is just a little more observant than he anticipated.
🎃 life's no fun without a good scare by EmmyLouWho [T, 2k]
For the prompt: “I invited a bunch of people over to watch a horror movie and you’re the only one that showed up and it's kind of cute that you hide behind my back every time you hear creepy music”
Halloween fluff ft: the lilac jumper, lots of sweets, and lots of cuddling
🎃 Vintage Suit by @juliusschmidt [M, 666 words]
Louis takes off his Halloween costume.
🎃 Best Couples Costume by @haztobegood [T, 666 words]
“It’s a shame. Halloween is even on Saturday this year,” Liam said. “This was going to be our year! We would’ve won this time.” Harry pouted. “You wish.” Niall teased. “You two haven’t won the best couples costume award yet.”
🎃 A Halloween M(ass)hap by @lululawrence [NR, 666 words]
Harry was never going to forgive Niall. He’d been so distracted by his roommate’s cleaning and fussing while he had been looking for the perfect trousers for Liam’s annual Halloween fancy dress party that he’d not realised the black leather trousers he’d chosen to complete his vampire look were arseless.
Of course there was a no return policy, so he’d done the only thing he could do in order to not waste the money he’d already forked out online for the damn things: he added a cape.
Surely, nothing could go wrong.

Rub Me the Right Way by kingsofeverything | E | 3636 As the owner of a second hand shop, Harry comes into contact with a lot of strange and unusual objects. There is, however, a first time for everything.
i wish you were here by weddingbells | E | 5957 “Three wishes, of anything I want right?” “Anything you want.” “Anything I want,” Nick repeats, laughing between the words. “My god, I wish Louis was here to hear this!” “Done!” the genie says, clapping his hands together.
But The World Looks Better Through Your Eyes by unfortunate17 | T | 11667 Zayn is a trapped, sheltered prince who just wants to start living his own life. Too bad the law states he needs to be married by his 18th birthday because now all he has to deal with are terrible, potential suitors. Escaping the palace under disguise, he runs into Liam, a commoner barely making ends meet. But then, Liam rubs a ring and has a genie.
magic by sleepingalone | E | 12148 “The Earth. Was it a real place? Was he on it? Were there really bodies of water stretching on for years? Would it be possible to venture out to the Shire? He supposed he could get his answers if he had someone to talk to, someone to ask about these things. Someone to fill up the lonely ache in his chest.” Or, Louis is lonely and Harry is a human.
A Century of Lonely Nights by EmmyLouWho | M | 17720 “I’m a genie, remember,” Louis says, like that explains everything. Being around Louis makes Nick feel like he’s constantly three steps behind. It’s a dizzying feeling, but not an entirely unpleasant one. * Nick was just trying to find Harry a quirky birthday present, but when he buys an antique bottle from a dusty shop, he gets more than he bargained for.
Waiting For Someone Who Needs Me by graceling_in_a_suit | T | 17788 Harry huffed in frustration. His feet pigeon-toed as he took a step forward. “None?” he asked with a hint of desperation. “You have nothing that you need?” Louis shook his head. “Listen. I’ve a million things that I want, like for the Donny Rovers to get to finals and for our band to do well and to write better songs and for my mum to be able to pay off her mortgage, but I don’t need any of those things. There’s a difference.” AU: Harry is a genie, and Louis doesn't think he needs anything.

Hiii i was just wondering if have any fic recs on ao3 where harry is pining desperately over louis ? Those are the best ones and i can't find any atm
oh goodness yes! i LOVE pining! okay i’m still feeling sensitive and tired, so i’m not going to explain why i love each of these fics like i usually do, but just know i love them all so i hope one of them is a fic you haven’t read that you will come to love. (please note, some of these are mutual pining, but iirc they all are harry pining after louis)
this also got long because i really really love pining, so most of the suggestions are below the cut xx

Sugar, Butter, Flour by EmmyLouWho
Length: 5k
Louis watches Harry start to pour icing onto his half-raw, still hot cookie, and tries to hold in his groan. He isn’t sure if they’ve ever had a contestant on the show who tried so hard…and yet completely failed at every single step.
You can’t rig the show to help a contestant, he tells himself. Even if they’re adorable.
Or - a Nailed It! AU

2019 1D Short Fic Fest Round Up
Tumblr media
Down Memory Lane by flicker_album Harry and Louis have known each other since they were five. Now they’re in their senior year of high school and still best friends. Harry, as sentimental as ever, keeps anything Louis gives him in a box under his bed. He doesn’t anticipate Louis finding the box.
A Way So Familiar by yeah_alright Liam squeezes Zayn’s hand and presses a light kiss to his fingers. He freezes when Zayn stirs, worried he’s woken him. He’s not ready to wake him. He’s enjoying being held as he wades through the memories of that first night he’d held Zayn. Held him so properly and thoroughly that he had fallen asleep still holding him tightly. That night of pizza and beer and unadulterated flirting, when their playfulness had taken on a greater significance. It had felt revelatory. Like it was all finally – fucking finally – happening. Liam wakes up in Zayn’s arms and reminisces about some of their “firsts.”
an honest mistake by disgruntledkittenface “You look different when you’re not covered in come,” he blurts out, immediately regretting each and every life choice that has led to this exact moment. Elevator Guy is going to hate him. Louis has ridden the elevator with his neighbor all week. The first time they speak, there’s a misunderstanding.
nothing breaks (like a heart) by thelouistiti Such a good time, Louis believes it this time.
Heat by jacaranda_bloom Louis was smitten from the moment Harry had arrived a month ago. Long, curly hair which he mostly keeps up in a bun, and a sinfully deep voice. Cheeky too. Louis likes that the best. He gives good banter and laughs at Louis’ dumb jokes, adding his own woeful puns. When Louis had asked him why he was in this godforsaken dust bowl, he’d said something about a ground crew traineeship and fulfilling his visa requirements while experiencing the real Australia. Louis had been momentarily distracted by Harry’s plush, red-bitten lips so the salient details may have washed over him. OR Drinking beer in a blow-up pool, in a backyard, in stupidly hot temperatures, in outback Australia should be ridiculous, and it would be, if Louis didn’t have a curly-haired workmate to keep him company.
Fistiana by yesisaworld They met in the center of the ring and bumped their bare knuckles together.
All I See Is You, Lately by runaway_train Harry noticed him for the first time three months ago. He couldn’t not, really, what with the man being so pretty and all, and Harry remembers it well because it was three days before his birthday and he had joked to himself that seeing someone so gorgeous for three days on the trot must be an early present from the Gods. Or The one where Harry has a crush on a fellow commuter.
we’re right here in this room by flicker_album Shawn goes to the same cafe every Sunday. After he meets Niall, a friend of a friend, he can’t stop thinking about him.
Insomnis by FullOnLarrie Harry’s been having trouble sleeping. Louis makes everything better.
The Truth Of It or The Day That Changed Everything by Larryhasmyheart You are Louis, the son of a wealthy horseman. Your father has been trying to ingratiate you into his circle of friends and set you up with their daughters, but you just aren’t feeling it. Instead, ever since the new stable hand smiled at you, you have been drawn to the barn. Today, you come to understand why.
it’s only your imagination again by wreckingtomlinson “So,” Louis begins, curling up in one corner of the sofa. “Guess my secret’s out.” Harry nods. “The cat’s out of the bag,” he says with a completely straight face. ~ Or, Harry’s pretty convinced his new neighbor has a cat.
Pals and Confidantes by yeah_alright The Guys sit around the kitchen table sharing cheesecake and stories of bad dates. Golden Girls AU.
Soju (소주) by gettingaphdinlarry After a spectacular breakup he’d like to forget about, English language teacher Niall Horan finds himself in starting anew in Seoul, South Korea. He’s perfectly content being single, but when his friends try to set him up with Shawn Mendes, well… Maybe it’s time to give love another shot.
Was Sort Of Hoping That You’d Stay by Sasparella76 Last night, Louis Tomlinson hooked-up with a drop-dead gorgeous man who, right now, is sleeping contentedly in his arms. Sure, the sex was good - really good, in fact - and the guy was charming and funny, but it was just a one-time thing. The thought of having to engage in some awkward morning-after chit-chat with the lad makes Louis shudder. He needs to get up, get dressed and get out before his one-night stand wakes up.
the pain’s only temporary by wreckingtomlinson They call him The Phantom. He’s something like a myth in the industry—almost everyone knows of him, but real information is few and far between. But the one thing everyone seems to be able to agree on is that anyone who dares to make a deal with him becomes untouchably, irrevocably, successful. ~ or, Harry seeks out the help of a mysterious figure referred to only as The Phantom for help getting out of a contract, but is he prepared to pay the price?
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now by allwaswell16 Louis is having a personal crisis, a third Valentine’s Day being single. Unless he meets someone this week at the high end department store he works at, he’ll be stuck going to Niall’s Valentine’s Day party–again. Or the one where Harry mistakes Louis for a mannequin.
please forgive me if my lips quake by disgruntledkittenface Hi ! Got your number from your cat Lou. Just want to make sure they’re not lost, only visiting Harry’s pet cat wing-womans her into a date.
sunbeams by ohsailor Harry is the new neighbour suffering from insomnia. Louis is the night nurse across the hall trying to find ways to help him sleep. They find one that works.
honey (you’re familiar) by hazkaban harry had always thought that if he stumbled into the wrong date, somehow, it’s just like him, honestly, he would come clean instantly and go find his real date. that is until he’s face to face with louis, who is very pretty and not at all the man he’s supposed to be meeting.
Fluro by silveredglass Doesn’t matter where you go to help you forget - symbols, and reminders, and good old heartache is always neon bright.
Screamin’ At My Face, Baby, Don’t Trip by runaway_train He’s been waiting at their table in the restaurant for thirty minutes now, already deep into his second large glass of Shiraz, when he checks his phone. No new messages. He clicks onto WhatsApp to check when Louis was last online; 3.34 p.m today. That certainly doesn’t bode well. Louis was always late, yes, but he had promised, he had sworn to Harry that he wouldn’t be late tonight. But he was. By thirty one minutes and counting. Or The one when Harry’s anniversary dinner plans don’t go quite how he hoped they would.
She’s Got Particular Taste by Miadotfi They eventually change topics but it’s still in the back of Harry’s mind. So naturally, as soon as they get home, Harry drops her coat on the living room floor and gets naked from the waist up. With her bra in her hand she turns around to face the door. Louis enters the room and freezes in the middle of taking off her beanie. Her gaze slides down in a heartbeat, mouth hanging open. Harry waits. And waits. She doesn’t know what she expected. She shouldn’t have just stripped down first thing when they arrived home. Harry has nipple piercings and she’s more than willing to show them to Louis.
Ticket To L.A. by Tomlinsontoes Fun little airport fic based on the song “Ticket to L.A.” by Brett Young. Harry is a musician who meets Louis in an airport when all of the flights are delayed. After accidentally hitting him with his guitar case, Louis agrees to get a drink with Harry as long as he doesn’t start playing “Wonderwall”
Back To Life by Laziam (MItCheLlInE) When a fun day out turns into a horror scenario for Zayn, a kind stranger turns his entire world upside down.
The Bet by jacaranda_bloom Louis Tomlinson never reneges on a bet. Ever. He may be many things - a joker, a sometimes-wayward student, a loyal friend, a Tony Award winner in the making, and a card-carrying member of the Chad Michael Murray fan club - but never, ever, a welcher. Louis makes good on his promises and does it with flare. OR The one where Louis misjudges Harry’s ability to do TLC’s Waterfall rap and finds himself having to put on a one-man show for his viewing pleasure. If Louis decides to go all-in and dress the part, then that’s just a bonus for his (very appreciative) one-man audience.
Calling out for somebody to hold tonight by cristalrush “I saw how you kept looking at me. I’m Louis, nice to meet you.” The raspy voice startled Harry. There he was. The guy he had been watching. He looked around discreetly to make sure Louis was actually talking to him. But there was no one facing them, so Harry thought it must be him. He offered his hand to Louis, “I’m Harry, nice to meet you too.” Or Harry has almost lost hope to ever finding his soulmate and just wants to have a fun night.
A Snapshot by haztobegood That one time Harry’s photo was uploaded to Louis’ instagram.
Drunk on summer by sweetsumerstyles Zayn and Louis are on a beach stargazing with a bottle of wine and a blanket wrapped around them.
Size Difference by FullOnLarrie Harry avoids confrontation until he can’t anymore.
Angels in the Airwaves Tonight by shiftylinguini Louis is between jobs. Niall is always along for the ride.
Beautiful Disaster by FallingLikeThis Harry is broken. Maybe Louis can help with that.
Harry’s Love Song by writcraft Harry calls Nick to let him know he’s coming back to London.
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of Cheese (who am I to dis-a-brie?) by EmmyLouWho The first time it happened, Harry had assumed that it was an honest mistake. The second time it happened, Harry thought it must have been a coincidence. Perhaps if he hadn’t been such an eternal optimist, the possibility that someone was stealing his food might have occurred to him a bit earlier, but Harry had a great deal of faith in the goodness of his fellow students, and so he continued to believe that it was an accident. But by the third time he had returned to an empty microwave, Harry was starting to realise that someone was stealing his mac & cheese on purpose.
A True Love of Mine by myownspark Niall’s peaceful afternoon at the beach with Shawn is interrupted by a group of strangers. One man in particular reminds him of someone special from long ago.
sweet, sweet fate by bottomlinsons Harry’s lived with a NSFW soulmark for almost twenty-five years now. When he finally meets the man responsible, he gives him a little piece of his mind.
As Luck Would Have It by Justalittlelouislove We’ve all experienced the trials and tribulations of technology. Louis is sabotaged by a bit of unhelpful autocorrect, but maybe luck is on his side after all.
It Could Be Sweet (like a long forgotten dream) by Harryskiwiposes “You did all this? For me? Even after I ignored you all week?” “I know why you’ve been ignoring me. If you had given me a chance to explain.” He paused, taking a deep breath before continuing, “I was never going to set up a dating profile. That was all Niall’s idea. He thought he was helping, but…it’s…it’s you, Louis. I just want to be with you. I was going to ask you out before Niall burst in and -” OR - the one where a miscommunication and a blackout lead Harry and Louis to admit their feelings for each other.
