—Louis/Harry—

🌴 De amore ex tempore by @persephoneflouwers

(M, 101k, historical) the Middle Ages AU where Harry is a philosopher, whose thoughts happen five centuries too soon and Louis is a painter, whose art happens five centuries too late. & Or: the Time Travel AU where alternate versions of themselves live simultaneously in different realities and their paths collide every time, until somehow, they converge into one.

🌴 Gemma's Dad (Could Use A Guy Like Me) by @lululawrence

(NR, 82k, age difference) Louis wasn't planning on getting home and learning that Gemma's dad had gotten the house in the divorce and was dealing with things by focusing on work, the house, and his newly planted garden. It becomes obvious early on that Harry is a bit lost and Gemma is worried about him. To help both of them, Louis is more than happy to help Harry find himself again.

🌴 We Don't Need No Piece of Paper (From the City Clerk) by @2tiedships2

(M, 26k, a/b/o) In a matter of months, he would be bonded to an alpha his dad had chosen for him. Someone that Harry knew nothing about. Not even his name.

🌴 you give me feelings that i adore by @alwaysxlarrie

(T, 7k, a/b/o) 5 times Louis scents Harry's things and the 1 time Harry returns the gesture.

🌴 A Social Construct by YesIsAWorld / @louandhazaf

(E, 7k, established relationship) Five times Harry and Louis try to lose their virginity and one time they finally do. Part 4 of Swallow My Words

🌴 Rode Hard and Put Away Wet by @kingsofeverything

(E, 6k, Texas) Louis heard the same rumours in London, New York, and L.A., and he put them all to rest, but in Texas? Series Part 7 of Tiny Penis Fics

🌴 Trying to Find the Words (To Say For Ages) by @insightfulinsomniac

(E, 6k, uni au) As best friends and roommates, it’s really not a big deal when their on-campus housing provides Harry and Louis with an unusual, intimate bathroom arrangement. 

🌴 Come All Ye by @justanothershadeofblue

(E, 6k, historical) It's the summer of 1971, and Louis just wants to get out of town for a minute or a day. When his buddy Zayn says they should head down south and check out this radical new music festival, Louis is only too happy to agree.

🌴 Every Bit of Mine by skipper / @skipperxao3

(M, 3k, dark) Harry is an enigma. Louis still loves him.

🌴 every night with us (is like a dream) by moon_rose25 / @darkinfinity

(T, 2k, famous/not famous) A look into the life of a professional football player dating a physical therapist.

🌴 Everything Is Batter With You by red_panda28 / @red-pandaaa

(T, 2k, established relationship) Harry comes across a fun baking TikTok and convinces Louis to do it

🌴 No (Birth) Control by @haztobegood

(E, 2k, a/b/o) An unfortunate situation left Harry without contraceptives a day before his heat.

🌴 in my head we can love forever by @beardyboyzx

(E, 1k, girl direction) Harry might be a bit in love with her roommate.

🌴 Nights Like These, We'll Remember by @fallingdefenceless

(T, 1k, meet cute) Louis and Harry meet at a summer music festival and sparks fly.

—Rare Pairs—

🌴 The Light Out In The Madness (Hold Tight) by @lalalaartje

(E, 46k, Niall/Louis) When Louis ends up with Niall as a roommate after a messy break up with Harry, he considers it truly life saving. They become fast friends and while Louis is sceptical about Niall's idea to start fake dating to take revenge on Harry, it can't be that bad, can it?

🌴 Ask Him by LinksLipsSinkShips / @fxckingprincesspark

(T, 2k, Niall/Lewis Capaldi) 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.

Larry Can Come Out in 2023: Here’s Why

Many people have told Harry and Louis that coming out would ruin their careers. Many people believe it. Fandom believes it—Harry and Louis themselves seem to believe it.

It’s a concern based on evidence and precedent, that’s true. But—this evidence is from a social climate of several decades ago. When One Direction was formed—when Harry and Louis’ public personas were formed—gay marriage was not yet legalised in the UK or the US. No celebrities had come out so publicly and then gone on to have even greater success.

So, where the world has changed around Harry and Louis, they seem stuck in 2010 thinking. Straight-at-all-costs Louis; serial womanizer Harry; coming out as career suicide for both. Not much has changed for them.

Yet, the world has changed in that time. The LGBT population doubled, then doubled again. Acceptance rates have skyrocketed. In media, some of the top Netflix shows have been based on queer characters. In music, 30% of the Top 10 artists last year were publicly queer. It’s a different world.

So, given it’s now a totally different landscape, we want to argue something. We want to argue that Harry and Louis could come out in 2023. We want to argue that, given the cultural context, data, and precedents, they would enjoy similar or even greater—probably much greater—levels of career success. We want to argue that they will be happier and more fulfilled while being more successful.

We heavily base our conclusions on research, facts, provable observations, and case studies. There is at least just as much evidence showing that they would be successful after coming out as there is showing their careers would fail—if not more.

So—shall we entertain the idea for just a moment?

This post has been written by @louiscinema and I in order to bring a little variety to the current fandom discussion, where it seems like it’s unacceptable to suggest that Harry and Louis could be out. The majority of the discourse focuses on all the ways coming out would ruin their lives and end their careers—no one seems to mention the potential upside; that it could demonstrably improve their careers and lives, and that it has, for many people like them. In all honesty, it feels like we lose every time the fandom perpetuates the idea that their queerness is a disadvantage for them and shouldn’t be celebrated publicly. We want to provide a different perspective.  

Disclaimer: We acknowledge this is ultimately not our closet nor decision to make and we understand that they don’t owe us anything. The post is simply offering a different point of view with Harry and Louis’ best interest at heart.

Part 1: Establishing some context: 2023 Social Dynamics: It’s a Brave New World

  • Cultural zeitgeist has shifted: the popularity of queer media
  • Popularity of queer relationships specifically: in media and in real life
  • Modern typical reaction to celebrities coming out is overwhelmingly positive and supportive
  • Other popular artists’ coming outs have not affected their careers, or actually improved their careers—some case studies
  • Analysis of top songs & artists—sexuality is increasingly irrelevant to success

Part 2: Larry in the Context of 2023 Social Dynamics

  • Popularity of Larry in the band years
  • Popularity of Larry now/post-band
  • Why Larry post-coming out will be even more popular
  • Stunts actively undermine their careers: some facts and figures
  • Addressing some concerns—how might it affect their fanbases (and why)?

If someone told me that we will get Harry singing You're Still The One, I Will Survive, Man I Feel Like A Woman, and Hopelessly Devoted To You ALL IN THE SAME YEAR I would not belive them yet here we are. Like-

twopoppies answered:

Never would I have thought SEVEN YEARS since we last saw them together, that 2022 would be one of the larriest years on record.

And just in case you think Harry is the only one obsessed with Larry (like rads do):

I’m sure this isn’t everything they did this year, but it’s a lot. And some of it may be coincidence or a reach, but all of it? I really doubt it.

Beautiful War by Itsmotivatingcara @itsmotivatingcara

Length: 103k

Five years ago, Louis was nearly the next victim in a string of murders plaguing Portland, Oregon. He managed to escape and the Angel Killer was apprehended and sent to prison. Now, Louis’ a best-selling author that assists state police with minor cases. He still suffers from the events of the days he’d been held hostage, but he’s found ways to cope. That is, until the killings start up again. A body was found in the woods. A body that bared the same signature the media had dubbed: The Angel of Death. Special Agent Harry Styles leads the case, and he doesn’t buy into the clairvoyant bullshit that Louis spewed to save face five years ago. He’s certain that Louis Tomlinson was involved. Until they meet, and they’re both left questioning everything they’d thought to be true. Or An FBI-Clairvoyant AU
