Power was a particular thing that few could understand. It could give you everything as easily as it could destroy you. Entire kingdoms had been torn down because of weak kings that fell short in the arms of power.

It's Fine To Fake It 'Til You Make It ('Til It's True)Β byΒ sunflouwerhabit / @sunflouwerhabit (150k)
Harry Styles @HarryStyles_KE hi again! so, i wanted to apologize one more time for the whole βhelogogjs good gksdjidβ thing, and also say that i didnβt just accidentally open your DMβs when i wasnβt paying attention earlier. i sort of had a question about a tweet you posted yesterday? like. the whole βrent a boyfriendβ thing? is that something you were serious about? and if so, how does one come to hire you to be their boyfriend? iβm, um, asking for a friend
*****
Harry dreads an impending visit to his hometown, where heβll be forced to reunite with a newly engaged ex-boyfriend, a childhood best friend turned near stranger, and a family who never understood just how desperately he needed to leave.
In the midst of it all, a ludicrous Twitter proposition brings him to Louis.
(Almost) Exes-to-Lovers (Series) by nonsensedarling / @absoloutenonsense (93k)
Been Waitin' (After Weekend After Weekend After) (3k) Louis and Harry meet at a laundromat. PartΒ 1Β ofΒ (Almost) Exes-to-Lovers When the Trouble ComesΒ (89k) The Queens Trafficking case is the biggest one of Louisβ FBI career so far; eleven reported missing girls all disappeared under a similar set of circumstances. Louis has done everything he can to try and solve this case over the last nine monthsβ¦ while also absolutely ruining his marriage. Harry has been co-host ofΒ Banter at BreakfastΒ for five years, and finally has the opportunity to create his own radio show with the network. Unfortunately, it comes at a time where Harryβs thoughts are consumed with his impending divorce from his (caring, loving, infuriatingly thoughtful) husband of eight years. Harry and Louis have both been willing to lose themselves in their workβ¦ but are they willing to lose each other? * Or a story of (almost) exes-to-lovers. PartΒ 2Β ofΒ (Almost) Exes-to-Lovers
And Down the Long and Silent StreetΒ byΒ whimsicule (86k)
The year is 1881 and if youβre alone in this world you might as well be dead, because starving dogs have no mercy.
Or: Wherein Louis and Harry are on the opposite ends of the social ladder, but their paths still cross on the filthy streets Louis calls his home. The odds are staked against them from the beginning, and even more when Louis' past finally catches up with him.
Baby Steal My Heart AwayΒ byΒ Snowy38 (61k)
Louis headed into the hall, seeing the Moses basket right away.
"Wah-wah-wahhh!"
Was that...
Fuck.
It was. It was a baby! A loudly crying, clearly unhappy-actually properly distressed baby. It was already red in the face and--
Why was there a baby?
He looked up and around, palm flattening to his forehead to push his scruffy hair away from his clammy skin, checking he wasn't being punked.
Light Me Up, Put Me on TopΒ byΒ CuckooTrooke / @larrydoinglaundry (24k)
Harry takes Louis back to Northern Europe to experience his first Nordic Christmas in their beloved cabin, surrounded by nothing but peace and snow. So much snow.
Short "spin-off" to 'Love is a word, you gave it a name' universe. Takes place after the second part of the main story, but before the final epilogue.
PartΒ 3Β ofΒ love is a word, you gave it a name
No One Like YouΒ byΒ myownspark (19k)
Dear Niall,
I was glad to have the chance to talk with you again at the AHA conference. Your idea that the Musee DβOrsay Tomlinson painting is in fact not a self-portrait is an intriguing one, and I may have discovered something that will have a bearing on that theory.
Some background: as you may remember, Iβve been researching for a book Iβm writing about Harry Styles. Iβve been in communication with Stylesβ last living descendant, who is in possession of a trunk that her family believed to have belonged to Styles himself. It held some personal items she presumes to be his, including two unmounted paintings and a small collection of letters.
Upon spending the last few days in Provins studying these items, I believe there to be a connection between Tomlinson and Styles, and I would very much like your opinion.
Are you up for a trip to France?
Sincerely, Liam Payne
Where Liam and Niall are art historians discovering the truth about two nineteenth century painters on opposite sides of an artistic divide.

ΰ» powerless (and i don't care) by localopa / @voulezloux (E, 4k, established relationship, canon, fluff, slight angst) everyone on tour calls each other daddy, donβt ask why. and louis is so used to calling everyone βdaddyβ that, when he finally comes home, naturally he calls harry that.
ΰ» now you hang from my lips by teenytinytomlinson / @hs3lt2 (E, 6k, red herring, implied cheating, read tags and authorβs note) Louis goes out and finds exactly what, or rather who, heβs looking for at the hotel bar.
ΰ» You're like a Sponge (Abrasive and Colorful) by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 6.5k, coworkers, university au, hate to love sort of) Louis's flirts look an awful lot like insults.
ΰ» Behind Smoke Stained Curtains by @jaerie (E, 19k, strangers to lovers, a/b/o au, truckers, secret identity, one night stands) The worlds align when Louis meets an alpha from the road with as many secrets as he holds himself.

ΰ» sunshine (you temptress) by @petitommo (E, 26.8k, acquaintances, complicated relationships, age difference) Harry had everything he'd ever wanted in life. Well established, in love, and on the very precipice of the rest of his life, everything goes wrong. The road forwards is paved with difficult emotions, firm denial, and a complicated relationship to the strange teenager he'd snorted coke off of that one eventful night at the club.
ΰ» the mountain between us by happilylarry (NR, 31k, strangers to lovers, plane crash, surgeon harry, photographer louis, injuries, angst) Harry is a surgeon and stranded at Salt Lake City International Airport. He is to perform a surgery in fourteen hours in Boston. Louis is a journalist and stranded at Salt Lake City International Airport. He is to be married in ten hours.

Or so they thought.
ΰ» You Ainβt Gotta Feel Fear Just Mingle by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup (T, 32.7k, co-workers, advent fic, library au, christmas, fluff, humour) Harry has been at his dream job for less than three months, and he knows two things for sure; first, his project manager doesn't know what he's doing, and second, someone in the office is apparently pure evil, and no one will tell Harry who it is.
Oh, and the guy who works in conservation at the other end of the building is the most beautiful man Harry's ever seen, even when wielding a hot iron as a weapon.
Happy Christmas, here's to many more.
ΰ» I Really Like Your Styles: The Baking Advent-ure by @homosociallyyours (T, 34k, strangers to lovers, advent fic, coffee shop au, barista louis, baker harry, food, american au) Louis isn't much for frills, and the coffee shop he co-owns with his best friend Liam is evidence of that. Yes, it's got a decent sized, well-kept industrial kitchen, but Louis insists that people come to coffee shops for coffee, not mediocre pastry and plastic wrapped cookies. When Liam's campaign for serving treats turns into watching a few baking accounts on whichever popular app he's on, there's one that really gets on Louis' nerves: "I Like Your Styles." With his chipper demeanor and over the top descriptions of the food he makes, Louis is sure that the (unfortunately cute) baker is full of it. Nothing that adorable could possibly be worth the hype.
It doesn't actually take much for him to eat his wordsβ¦and some quality baked goods, while he's at it.
β rare pairs β
ΰ» for the rest of my life (for the rest of yours) by localopa / @voulezloux (louis/zayn, M, 1.5k, exes with benefits, canon au, song fic) zayn and louis are exes. they still sleep together.

Upon request, today we have a rec list of bottom Louis fics that feature badass Louis. If you enjoy our rec lists and want them to continue, please be sure to like and reblog this post to help spread the word. Happy reading!
1) Bite | Mature | 10,980 words
Louis is a vampire hunter, and Harry is too happy being his prey.
2) Don't Call Me Angel | Mature | 16,648 words
Manhattan is a dangerous playground for the rich and entitled Alphas of New York. Those same wealthy Alphas are robbed after spending one night in the presence of a blue-eyed Omega and Officer Styles is assigned to the case.
3) Friendly Neighborhood Spideypool | Explicit | 18,705 words
βDonβt fuck with me, Iβm not in the mood.β Louisβ got the urge to punch him in the face, but he knows deep down that if anything itβll just add fuel to Harry's innuendo fire. βYou know I only fuck you, not with you. Thereβs a difference. Itβs slight but still there.β Heβs joking, but itβs sincere in a way that only Deadpool could make it. It gives Louis a strange mix of emotions, his body doesnβt know whether to fill with butterflies or to knee Deadpool in the balls again for insinuating them fucking.
