There’s too many, so I’m gonna just share my fav, okay? (and only Larry)
- Red Brick Heart by hazmesentir:(Harry has only had his room for thirty-two minutes when it stops being his). Harry had turned up at the halls of residence expecting fun,
new friends, and maybe a life experience or two. What he doesn’t expect
is a surprise roommate who’s loud and dramatic and obsessed with tea
and is maybe, actually, all he’s ever wanted. (98k)
- Learning To Breathe by @drunkharrystyles: He’s playing football at one of the top universities in England and
he should love everything about his life right now, but instead he’s
moving backwards. How does your past fit into your present? Louis is
still figuring it out. ( 110k)
- This Shifting Ground
, by @zarah5: In which Louis, law student, is the cheeky waiter to Harry’s dates. This is how it starts. (29k)
- We Will Find Our Way
, by supernope : Harry smiles at Louis, quick and easy, and says, “Well, since
we’re in the same boat, we’ll just make our own Christmas. What do you
say?” Louis tamps down on a bloom of warmth in his belly. He barely
knows Harry past seeing him walk down the hall in just his skivvies -
not that he’s complaining - but he’s being so lovely, smiling at him so
hopefully, and, well. Louis doesn’t much fancy the idea of spending
Christmas completely alone. Nodding, he reaches out and pokes Harry’s
dimple, watches it flirt to life underneath his fingertip. “I say yes.” AKA, Harry and Louis are uni students studying abroad in New York, stuck in the dorms together over Christmas. (9k)
- Fading , by @tothemoonmydear : (Louis
knows about beauty; the combination of qualities that pleases the
aesthetic senses. He creates that combination every day in the garments
he designs while studying fashion at uni. The cut of the design, the
color of the fabric, the intricacy of the stitching; it all comes
together to create something beautiful. When the science student with
the long legs and dimpled smile agrees to model for him, Louis decides
he’s found beauty personified. Harry just thinks Louis needs someone to
show him how beautiful he is. (202k, TW about eating disorders)
- You’re An Asshole (But I Love You), by @theboyfriendstagram: Louis is a frat boy with a drinking problem who doesn’t know what he
wants to do with his life, and Harry is a psychology student who always
takes care of him and might just be exactly what Louis doesn’t want,
but really needs. (85k)
- surrender to the afterglow , by @tornorrows : Harry’s mother sets him up on a lot of awful dates. She
finally gets it right with Louis Tomlinson, President of the Harvard
Law Review.(Law School AU meets Politician!Louis AU) (11k)
- put you on repeat, play you everywhere i go , by eversincewefellapart: Harry is a college radio show host and Louis is a contemporary
dancer attending said college. After a drunk hook-up, naturally a whole
bunch of pining, dedicated love songs and make-out sessions on dance
studio floors ensue. (8k)
- Have You Coming Back Again, by whoknows: It’s five o’clock in the morning. Louis has a lecture
at half eight. He could be using this time to study or to do his
readings or to go to the gym, but - well. He doesn’t have any exams
coming up, he’s not going to his seminar today anyway and he hates the
gym.Instead he’s using this time to fuck with Harry Styles’ poor little brain.Louis
jogs across the street and jabs the key into the car door. It opens
easily, not that he was expecting anything else. He copied the key for a
reason, after all.He’s got Harry’s schedule memorized, more
because the guy keeps following him around than anything, so he doesn’t
bother looking around before climbing behind the wheel and setting his
bag on the passenger seat. It’s a Monday, which means that Harry doesn’t
even get out of bed before noon unless he’s planning on harassing
Louis. (31k)
- Both Showing Hearts , by kiwikero: Louis Tomlinson is, in fact, not straight. Harry Styles isn’t sure what he is. Together, they figure it out, and maybe fall in love along the way.Or,
the Uni AU where Louis helps Harry figure out his sexuality, Niall
crashes a bachelorette party, Liam works in a printing centre, and Zayn
happens to need lots of printing done. (113k)
- Pi Time by @thedarkestlarrie :“Harry, 20. Less Than 1 Mile Away, Active 1 minute ago. I
think when it comes down to it, I’m just looking for someone supportive.
That’s all I really need in life. I know this is an app, but we can
find people in all the most obscure places ☺ -H.S” or Hot, hipster Harry from Tinder is nothing like Louis expected. (16k)
1. Six Weeks (ladylondonderry) -
When Harry takes the afternoon shift at the cafe, he meets a boy who drinks a lot of tea and never remembers his umbrella.
2. Never Shut Us Down (togetherwecouldbealright) -
Louis is an insecure mess and he hides behind his blog. Harry’s a boy with a personality too bright and he’s everything Louis thought he would hate. They end up falling in love.
3. This Wicked Game (cherrystreet) -
An AU in which The Bachelor is gay, Louis is a contestant, Harry is the bachelor, everyone drinks a lot of champagne, the entire world gets to watch them fall in love, and no one plays by the rules.
4. We’ve Got The World In Our Hands (sarcasticfluentry) -
Louis and his friends attend the Cowell Institute for General Education and Mutant Training in London; when Louis meets Harry, the newest student at the Cowell Institute, he immediately recruits Harry to help play matchmaker for his friend Zayn. Harry and Louis are so caught up in meddling in Zayn’s love life, though, that they don’t notice that their own friendship is progressing into something more. Meanwhile, an ominous threat up north grows slowly until suddenly, no mutant - or human - is safe.
(Bear with me, I read a lot of famous AU this week)

Fall At My Door , by @fullonlarrie : A-list actor Harry Styles and award-winning musician Louis
Tomlinson have an acquaintances-with-benefits relationship, so whenever
their busy professional lives happen to land them in the same city, they
meet up. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement.And that’s all it is. Until it isn’t.
Larry famous/famous AU and friends with benefits (30k) : aaaahhhh, famous/famous are my sweet spot (what? TMI?) and this fic is perfect ! angsty , great smut (mostly bottom Harry but they share that really), pining … and lots of love to Steve Aoki feature ;)
-
Adore You
, by @isthatyoularry : We invited our new acquaintances from uptown. You’ve simply got
to meet their oldest son!” said his mother with a flourish, and suddenly
it became abundantly clear as to why his parents had so adamantly
demanded he join them in Deansville for the entirety of the summer.
Against his wishes, Harry spends the holidays at his family’s
summer estate, and is reluctantly pulled into a courtship he didn’t ask
for. Harry doesn’t want to get married, but Louis does. They don’t fit,
but then again they really, really do. Vaguely set in the 1920’s.
Headpieces, jazz, fashionable canes, and flapper dresses, and that.
Larry
historical AU (66k) : oh god, this fic is really excellent (and I’m not
even a fan of historical fics at all). About arranged marriage,
problematic family, and courtship. Also love letters. I love love
letters. <3 (barely smutty)
-
A Love Like War
, by @downgoesanotherhero : “I want your help.” “Are you sure validation isn’t the right
word?” Harry frowns. “Because, Louis, my professional opinion won’t
change just because you’re being nice.” “I don’t want your
professional opinion on my work to change. I wanna do better work, so
you and everybody else can have a new opinion”, he states simply. Or:
the one in which Louis Tomlinson is a cliched rock star, he’s got
everything except for love. But then he meets Harry Styles; the man
that, against all odds, saves him in every way a person can be saved,
even when Louis didn’t know he needed saving in the first place.
Larry famous-not famous AU(173k) angsty(a lot) , some kind of hate to love, some fluff too. Also TW for drugs, addiction, and internalized homophobia and suicide attempt. If you can pass them, go read this ! (kind of chare that for the smut - mostly bottom Louis though)
-
If Only in My Dreams , by @jupiter-lou: Harry considered the situation silently for a moment. “Listen,
I’m only going home through New Year’s Day. If you wanted to, you could
come home with me for the week?” The sentence morphed into a question
as he watched Louis’s face drop open with surprise.“I couldn’t do
that, Harry,” Louis dismissed, eyes widen with incredulity. “We barely
know one another, and I could never intrude on your family time like
that!”“What better way to get to know me than to spend time with the people who shaped me into who I am today?“OR
the one where Harry’s new flatmate, Louis, needs a place to spend
Christmas, so he invites him to spend it with his family. When they
arrive, everyone thinks they’re dating.
Larry fake relationship with a twist (13k): yes, it’s still time to read Christmas fics ! this one is cute and fluffy, with no smut.Special kudo for beauty vlogger Louis !

my song has not been sung
, by @fukcinglouis :
The boy looks completely in his element, wrapped in a rainbow flag
with pink paint smeared across his face. He’s jumping and twirling
through the street, tossing handfuls of glitter on bystanders, screaming
his heart out and clearly loving every second of it. He’s everything
Harry was hoping to capture on film.
Or, Harry is watching a protest from the sidelines until a
boy with a rainbow flag and a pretty smile drags him right into the
middle of it.
Larry AU (2k) with photographer Harry and bright protester Louis; Fluffy and cute.

The Sun Will Rise With My Name On Your Lips
, by @thedeliciousrude : “You should just move in.” Louis froze, eyes wide, heart
kicking in his chest as Harry paused and looked up, looking at Louis
warily.“Really?” Harry whispered and Louis clasped his hands together to hide his shaking fingers.“I
mean, you’re here anyway … I just … yeah?” Louis finished weakly, and a
few seconds passed in agonising silence until a shockingly bright smile
stretched across Harry’s face.***When Eleanor breaks up
with Louis he finds it hard to keep pretending that Harry isn’t what
he’s wanted since the day he first met him.
Larry canon fic (39k)with closeting, a lot of pining, and some great smut (hello food sex!)(kind of share that)
-
Hold My Heart
, by anonymous : Excuse me, mate, I’m the window seat here.” The voice was soft,
apologetic, and accented in something a bit unfamiliar — northern
England, maybe, Harry thought. “Oh,” Harry jumped to his feet and moved aside, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see you standing there.”The other man laughed as he swung a bag into the overhead compartment
and slid into the seat. “You were well caught up in that book, mate.
What are you reading?”Harry paused, wondering how to explain the fact that he was reading
an epic and x-rated romance that was the story of a relationship between
a prince and the man he’d enslaved. “Oh, you know, just some fiction my
sister recommended.” He turned to look at the man and froze. Sitting next to him was Louis Tomlinson.***Or, the one where famous Louis Tomlinson offers his hand and a lot more to his seat mate on a transatlantic flight.
Larry famous not famous AU (14k) : my heaaaaaart. Dr Styles meets actor Louis, and wow. FATE. awesome fic, fluffy, smutty , great.

Show Me Life Like I’ve Never Seen
, by Rearviewdreamer
: Louis never expected to leave the small art studio three blocks
down from his job with anything besides the painting he caught a
glimpse of and simply couldn’t forget.
Larry blind AU (42k) with painter Harry and architect Louis, a love at first sight story (the feeeeels), a bit angsty (because of the blind disease part), a lot of fluff too. Bottom Louis for the smut.
Harry Styles, the newest, most talked about actor of the 1890’s, has taken the London stage by storm, eliciting rumors and scandals alike in the wake of his sold-out performances. So when he’s set to lead in Zayn Malik and Niall Horan’s newest play at the Savoy Theatre, a comfortably successful establishment owned by Paul Higgins and his son Liam, Louis Tomlinson is only all too eager to work as his personal valet.
From here, a star is born. Or maybe a universe, really
Acclaimed actor, Hollywood heartthrob, and Oscar nominee, Harry Styles, seems to have the world at his feet, but seeks out an old friend when he needs a date for his big night.
Louis is an actor who needs to get away from the real world. He does the only thing that he can and runs away, finding himself in a small town where he happens upon Harry. What Louis doesn’t expect is to somehow fall in love and end up having to face what he was running from all along.
