Three years after Harry Styles won the X Factor competition, he finally comes home and faces all that he left behind, including his bitter ex-boyfriend. [Or an au where Louis is still in love with Harry, but he likes to convince himself and everyone else that he's not.] [UPDATED AS OF 2024]

They couldn't be more different if they tried. Louis Tomlinson is 17 years old and in his last year of the most prestigious private school in Doncaster, before then he's off to Uni. He has big plans for his future, and thanks to his parent's money he will have no problem achieving them. Everyone who attends his school knows him thanks to his incredibly rich family, sassy attitude and gorgeous girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. If there's one thing that completely annoys him, it's that there is a community college right across the street from St. Mark's Private School, and he has to look at the poor, totally inappropriate students that go there. Harry Styles is 19 years old, and (once again) in his last year of college. He goes to Doncaster's community college, just because the Holmes Chapel comprehensive expelled him twice in the span of two years, so he and his family had to move to another town. He has no future because he never shows up to classes and if he actually bothers to, he's either high or drunk; sometimes both. His skin is littered with tattoos and if there's one thing he absolutely hates, it's the snobby students attending the private school right across from his, who think they're better than anyone just because their parents have money. When they meet, Louis is nothing but disgusted by the tattooed boy, and Harry can't help but laugh at the innocent yet sassy boy with blue eyes and amazing arse. Or a sixth form!AU where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Louis is the perfect rich boy with too much money and their schools are right across from each other. They meet at a party and that's the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.

They both watched as ice and fire danced across their palms, hypnotized by the small things they could do with their powers. The snowflakes swirled around each other as the mist twisted about like a small tornado, while the fire in Louis' hands swayed and twirled gracefully-bright and warm and beautiful. Before, Harry couldn't even think of touching him with the fear of turning him to ice. Now, he knew that Louis wasn't some ordinary human to shy away from. Louis was bright, fiery flames, a body of powerful waves of heat. Louis was everything he was not, his polar opposite, but it was all the more reason that they fit together just right. or Harry likes to think he's normal. Except, normal boys don't freeze everything they touch. Louis thinks he's perfect just the way he is and shows him just that. Zayn is a telekinetic, Liam is a rising YouTube star, and Niall is the best human best friend there is. larry mutant au, basically. [word count: 119k] © 2020

this is some smut i've gathered from ao3 that i personally think deserve awards because they're so good this has the cucumber fic everyone's been looking for btw ;) **none of these are mine. i take absolutely no credit for them. the authors are credited, so please show them your love for their stories.** so i had this published before and it had like almost thirty chapters and around 5-6k reads but wattpad took it down so i'm remaking it so yeah go read some smut i've found for you :)

The boys are heading on vacation! Harry notices that Louis is starting to act oddly but can't put his finger on why. He seems to be much more emotional than his normal sassy Beta self but he puts it down to being tired from the tour. So what's the worst that could happen while they are all holed up in a remote location? What other secrets will be discovered?

By walking_dreams on A03 Summary: Harry does not believe in love at first sight. "It just seems horribly clichéd, you know?" he tells Louis. "Like, the whole idea is that you meet them and it's love, but you don't even know them." Louis nods in agreement. He has a point. Still, Louis' heart does a little twist in his chest. Harry hasn't given him his number. Or, the Coffee Shop AU where Louis falls too fast for Harry. Featuring Zayn as Louis' long-suffering roommate, Niall as the life of any party, and Nick as the boyfriend that gets in the way of true love. Written for the prompt: someone doms Harry and doesn't take care of him in subspace, so he drops and Louis finds him like that. ...This turned into more than that, though. And for something written for an Autumn Exchange, Harry doesn't like pumpkin much.

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. (please keep in mind that this has not been edited as I am just posting it over here for the people who asked for it)
