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)

Written in response to these tags on Tumblr though I’d recommend not reading those first unless you want to be spoiled. Alternatively, university!AU in which Harry runs away to New York City with only his camera and a playlist and Louis doesn’t have a good side.
After finding out that his University of Brighton roommate has a YouTube channel, Harry starts up his own channel, on which he posts videos of himself doing weekly challenges. He strikes up a friendship with Louis, a popular youtuber in London, that starts in the comments on their videos and progresses to texting, skyping, and talking about each other in their own videos far too often. They fall for each other long-distance, but put off meeting face-to-face as long as possible, too nervous that they’ll screw it all up.
Involves a bunch of YouTube challenges (AKA excuses for Harry to get naked), some awkward snapchat mishaps, and a whole lot of pining.

Red Brick Heart ~98k (this is the uni au. the uni au to trump all aus)
Harry has only had his room for thirty-two minutes when it stops being his.
Uni AU. 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.
About three things Harry Styles is absolutely positive. First, he definitely did not read all four Twilight books. Second, there is a part of him – and he knows exactly how potent that part of him is – that wants to test the science behind sucking Professor Tomlinson’s brain out through his dick. And third, Harry is unconditionally and irrevocably in lust with his Professor. So yes, Harry Styles is a cliché. He’s seen this plotline unfold in porn all the time. He’s not sure if leaning over his desk and offering up his arse for a spanking will yield the same results, however.
Louis is a uni student who works as a stripper to pay his way. One night, his English professor, Harry, is there and Louis panics, not wanting anyone to find out what he does. He agrees to a month of doing whatever Harry wants to ensure that the man doesn’t tell.
“So you don’t think my arse is out of this world?” Louis interrupts, hands on his hips, and of course Harry’s managed to offend him. Of course this is his life.
University AU in which Harry pines and Niall meddles.
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.
“It’s not a secret, right, Harry? All of his friends seem to know—”
Harry slumps down and starts methodically banging his head against his newsroom desk. “Niall, it is a secret from him because I have spoken a total of ten fucking words to Louis Tomlinson and also he is incredibly out of my league and probably fucking straight as well!”
Or: Harry’s a first-year on the school newspaper, assigned to cover the terrible men’s first football team. Louis Tomlinson is the team’s star defender. Harry pays significantly more attention to Louis’s arse than to writing real columns. Pretty soon, everyone notices. It takes Louis the longest.
sooo some of these dont rly talk about the uni aspect v much but i could resist reccing them, but most of them do talk about uni somewhat, and then i’d say about half are like focused on the uni bit!! hope this is good :*
Words: 227, 417 Pairing: Harry/Louis | Zayn/Liam Summary: Louis, to his horror, attends an elitist university in which the name Zayn Malik means something, Niall Horan doesn’t stop talking, there are pianos everywhere, and Harry Styles, only son of a drug-addled, clinically insane ex-rocker, has a perfect smile and empty eyes.
