🌈 you can see my heart burning in the distance by @hershelsue (923, G)
Harry and Louis are an opposites attract couple. Harry wakes up at the crack of dawn to go to his law firm job, while Louis is just getting home from his DJ gigs. They make it work.
🌈 All This Time by @allwaswell16 (1k, T)
Louis Tomlinson had been best friends with flower shop owner Gemma Styles for years. It wasn’t until she suggested he date her alpha brother that he ever thought of Harry that way. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea…
🌈 Completely Oblivious by @itsnotreal (1k, G)
an interaction with a stranger helps these two finally figure their shit out.
🌈 the sweetness of your words knows no bounds in making my heart leap by @bottomhaztoplou (1k, M)
At the end of his heat, Harry writes a letter.
At the beginning of his rut, Louis writes one back.
🌈 we will get another day (to begin again) by @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed (1k, T)
“There’s a ton of health benefits to it, look.”
Zayn gives Liam an unimpressed stare. He doesn’t even acknowledge the phone in his hand. “I don’t care if it makes me immortal, Leeyum, I’m not going to take a freaking ice bath at six in the morning.”
🌈 time can always heal you by @larriescompass (2k, G)
harry catches a fever, louis takes care of him.
🌈 Ask Him by @fxckingprincesspark (2k, T)
When Lewis Capaldi gets pressed for information on who he’s dating, he admits it… he’s been seeing Niall Horan. The only problem? He jokes so much that no one believes him.
🌈 routine surveillance by @disgruntledkittenface (2k, E)
Harry’s training period for the Bureau consists of routine surveillance. One night, it becomes a little less routine.
🌈 Harry, That Kills People by @londonfoginacup (2k, T)
If there’s one thing that Harry hates, it’s getting his clothes dirty.
If there’s one other thing that Harry hates, it’s murder.
Unfortunately, right here and right now, Harry’s clothes are dirty, and he’s murdered someone. So. It’s not a great day.
“Ugh,” says Harry. “Yeargh. Bleh.”
🌈 Write You A Song by @all-these-larrythings (6k, G)
Harry’s new flat is great but the acoustics are even better. They’re so good in fact that his daily shower concerts start to entertain an audience besides his shampoo bottle.
🌈 The Way to My Heart by @ladyaj-13 (6k, T)
Louis’ having a bit of a dry spell, until he bumps into an attractive alpha in the supermarket and leaves with his number. It was a hard bump. Very… muscular.
The only problem is, said alpha asks Louis to cook for him - which is not exactly his skill set.
🌈 Hold Me Tight (Or Don’t) by @hellolovers13 (13k, E)
Falling in love with Louis is easy enough.
Separating Louis from the singer persona Harry has been a fan of for years, however, is not.
But she’s not the only one making assumptions.
🌈 what’s left of my halo’s black by @loveislarryislove (22k, E)
A year after a devastating breakup, Louis is still trying to put himself back together - but getting over a breakup is hard when you work as a wedding planner. Thankfully, his coworker Harry is the most supportive friend Louis could ask for. But Harry has some secrets of his own, and they send Louis’ world spinning off its axis all over again.
🌈 somewhere in between and not at all by @greeneyesfriedrice (24k, E)
Harry is new to NYC and discovers something about himself, and Louis is there for him. Always.
🌈 Bitter Ends Turn Sweet by @allwaswell16 (30k, E)
It had been four years since Harry first heard the song his ex wrote about him and far longer since they broke up. He forgave Louis long ago, and now his life was focused on his career, his family, and especially his son, Max. But Louis was back in Chicago, after all this time, and he’s not an easy man to ignore.
🌈 Some Records Turnin’ by @ireallysawanangel (49k, E)
Harry is a soft alpha who owns a record store and Louis is a closeted singer omega masquerading as an alpha who randomly stumbles into Harry’s store.
🌈 another dream but always you by @nobodymoves (60k, M)
Harry is a Dreamwalker; he has the ability to visit people in their dreams and help put them on the right path. He’s assigned to Louis, who’s struggling after the break-up of his band. It’s an unusual assignment from the beginning; Harry has a crush on Louis, and Louis’s subconscious immediately decides Harry is the love of his life. When Dreamers cast Harry as their love interest, he can usually redirect them, but Louis is insistent on being Harry’s boyfriend, and despite knowing they have no future, Harry wants to keep up the charade.

Inner Crisis

I Want You to Linger
By InsightfulInsomniac
For the @1daboficfest
Rated: E; 6.9k words
Louis swallows, suddenly feeling very caught out. “Those… those are all for Harry.”
“Yes.” Niall nods. “For Harry, who does not live here.”
“I know he doesn’t, but I —“ Louis sets down his pen with a grimace. “Look, I’ll keep them in a box in my room, yeah? I just want him to feel comfortable when he’s over.”
“Hm,” Niall hums, looking entirely unimpressed. “Mate, I’m not worried about the things themselves. The vase is actually really fucking nice; we look like proper adults with flowers on our coffee table. I’m saying we should talk about you courting Harry.”
***
A friends-to-lovers fic in which oblivious alpha Louis courts his best friend, nests with the gifts he gets him, and is faced with the reality that sometimes telling someone you love them doesn’t go to plan (but turns out better in the end anyway).
I am so, so excited to be a part of the 1D A/B/O Fic Fest this cycle! Huge thanks to all the mods and fellow authors! I hope you all enjoy this friends to lovers fluff-fest 🫶🏻

written for @1dpridefest with art by the wonderful @alphalouis
He’s always known that he’s some sort of queer. There’s no doubt about it. When he was younger, he loved the feeling of his sister’s pantyhose on his legs, and loved to play dress up whenever he could. But it never went any further than that, and as he got older, he hid that part from himself. There were more homophobes than not in his school, and he couldn’t risk anything getting out.
While he was hoping that he would become more involved in the gay scene, he wasn’t expecting it to happen so immediately. He’s barely been in NYC for two days, and he’s now surrounded by all different types of men and…others? God, he isn’t even sure what to call them. He really doesn’t know much.
(or, Harry is new to NYC and discovers something about himself, and Louis is there for him. Always.)
