you think being yourself means being unworthy by softhar / @twoweekrule​ - 7k - college/university au 

The lie tastes like chocolate as it leaves her mouth; a dark and bitter flavour coating every inch of her tongue that doesn’t want to disappear no matter how hard Harry tries to make it go away. Liam doesn’t look convinced, neither does Niall if their frown is anything to go by, and Louis is nervously picking at her nails, but all Harry can do is clear her throat and go back to her essay. She can feel their eyes on her, taking every single aspect of her appearance, and she’s suddenly overwhelmed with the need to cover up, to shrink until she’s nothing but a speck of dust. Swallowing hard, she ignores their worrying and instead focuses on finishing her damn essay.

please make sure to read all of the trigger warnings before reading this fic!

New fics have been uploaded!! I know this post is a little late, but better late than never!

Girl Like You by louisfreckles / @burntbromances​​ - 5k - college/university au

Harry is a first-year student at Leeds University, with somewhat of a crush on a girl who seems to pay her no mind. Soon enough, however, a little bit of school-related stuff and a little bit of partying, make her realize Louis might notice her a little more than she thinks.

We Met on Lex: A Socially Distanced Romance by homosociallyyours / @homosociallyyours​​ - 4k - online dating

Tipsy on the best bottle of wine she's had in a minute, Harry decides to join Lex-- a dating app for LGBTQ+ people that doesn't rely on pictures for first impressions --and write an ad for herself. Maybe she would've forgotten about it if the first response she received hadn't been so good, but as it is she's curious to know more about this Tommo person.

If only she could stop thinking about the girl who sold her that fateful bottle of wine yesterday...

The fifth fic is up!! Go check it out if you haven’t read it yet! Last week the schedule was a little different, but that means you’ll either get three this week, or two this week and then one the week after that!! So get excited either way!

(the devil’s in the details) but you’ve got a friend in me by andidmarrylarry / @and-id-marry-larry​​ - 16k - high school and 1980′s au

"The carpeted area surrounding the snack bar was packed with kids from Zayn and Louis’ school and she could mostly discern the different groups by the way they gathered. Of course, the roller rink wasn’t much of a destination for nerds or burnouts or anyone Louis had ever really talked to, so she’s mostly categorizing different levels of semi to full high school royalty by the labels on their sweaters and the letters on their jackets. Louis looked over to Zayn and could tell instantly that he had spotted Liam. His eyes grew round and shone like a cartoon character’s. Louis shook her head, dismayed at her friend’s lack of will. At least until she turned to follow his gaze and saw the figure next to her."

Or, in the late 80's, Louis was just trying to make it through high school relatively unscathed by sticking with Zayn and not opening up too much to anyone else. When Zayn's hapless crush on the student body president brings Harry - bubbly and magnetic and sweet - into Louis' life, she realizes just what she was missing out on.

The third and fourth fic are up!! If you haven’t, please go check them out, because they’re really good!

daydream about me by @adoredontour​​ / louistomlinsons - 21k - strangers to friends to lovers

“Anything else going on for you at the moment?” she asks, leaning forward on her elbows across the table, mindful of the radio equipment in front of her. “What about you and that Louis Tomlinson?” Harry sputters, mouth moving but no words coming out. She can feel her cheeks heat up, darkening with embarrassment. “It’s not, Louis and I, we don’t—” Harry can’t finish the sentence, tongue heavy in her mouth. She takes a deep breath, thankful they’re not being videoed, and tries again, “We’ve never even met, actually.” alternatively titled 'harry styles does not have a crush on louis tomlinson and other lies she tells liam payne'

Study Dates and Coffee Taste by @alwayshazandlou​ / alwayshazandlou - 2k - college/university au

Prompt Based Off: 15. college au - Harry and Louis have the same class and they have a crush on each other but they're disaster gays and one of them is great at the class and the other one sucks so they have to tutor them.
