* Knot Together by larryftnoctrl / @the-larry-way [E, 22k, Louis/Harry]
A pair of matching Christmas sweaters might just be the Christmas magic needed to bring two oblivious idiots together.
* You Have It Easy by @louislittletomlintum [E, 6k, Harry/Louis]
“There’s no way you do all that for yourself,” Louis insisted to him, biting his lip to stop the smile when Harry’s face instantly morphed into his grumpy kitten expression.
“I do too,” Harry replied petulantly.
“Okay, forget I said anything. I don’t want to talk about your sex life anymore,” Liam insisted, sinking back down into the couch.
“I told ya it wouldn’t go your way,” Niall insisted conspiratorially, getting Louis to giggle again, but his mind was elsewhere. Mainly on images of Harry alone in his bed teasing himself until he was squirming for it.
or the one where Harry shows Louis exactly how he gets himself off
* you're all i ever dreamed of by staybeautiful / @harruandlou [E, 53k, Louis/Harry]
Harry sank lower until his chin was hovering just above the water line. He had his mug balancing precariously against the lip of the bath. It had to be cooling already, but he still looked serene, like there was nowhere else he’d rather be.
“I could live here,” Harry said, smiling with his eyes closed.
It was as if the words sprung from Louis’ mind, his mouth, and twisted into Harry’s. His heart picked up and before he could stop them they were tumbling out.
“Okay, you should,” he stuttered and Harry turned to look at him. “You should move in with me.”
Or after a Monday lunch with Zayn, Louis finds himself reevaluating what "too soon" means, especially when it comes to Harry. Part 2 of such a beautiful dream
* Quite Like You by @reminiscingintherain [M, 11k, Zayn/Louis]
Zayn rolled his eyes and let out a heavy sigh as he walked slowly across the room, swaying carefully to accommodate his large bump.
“Your daughter’s playing football with my bladder, and using my kidneys for boxing practice,” he grunted out, flopping heavily into the armchair, letting his head rest against the back. “I can’t remember the last time I saw my feet, my back feels like it’s been inverted, and my hips are just completely fucked.” He rolled his head to look at Louis. “I feel incredibly far from gorgeous right now.”
“Well, I’m telling you, I’ve seen you in many, many states over the years, babe, and this… this is definitely the epitome,” Louis murmured. Told in a series of flashbacks, the story of Zayn and Louis from children to parents.
* i close my eyes, and the flashback starts by harrysboy / @calumsboy [M, 7k, Harry/Louis]
Of course, he didn’t know how this one would end, but the past seven months with Louis had made him think it would end with them hugging each other in their beds at an old age. He really thought Louis would last, he really wanted Louis to last. He wanted his happy ending with him.
or, harry and louis fall in love, and that becomes their downfall. a modern romeo and juliet inspired story of love and tragedy.
* If Time Keeps Moving Just Like This by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 3k, Zayn/Niall]
Birthday celebrations don't typically start with breaking and entering but he wasn't supposed to be here at all, so hopefully, Zayn will forgive Niall for the inevitable heart attack that comes with a surprise like this.
Or what they get up to on Zayn's 32nd birthday. Part 5 of Whenever, wherever
* How It Found Us by Worldsofdreamers / @defences-down [E, 117k, Zayn/Niall]
If you had asked either man a decade ago if they were in love with each other they would have stammered and stuttered their way to a denial. Of course, they weren’t interested in each other like that, they were just friends.
Good friends.
Never mind that they hooked up behind closed doors. Never mind that they wrote about each other constantly. Never mind they spent days in the other’s bed and there were things only the other knew.
Things changed when Zayn left but that love and the confusion surrounding that love didn’t change. They went on writing about each other and thinking about each other and eventually, the fog began to clear.
Fall of 2024 rolls around and they find themselves on a writing retreat/reunion at Zayn’s farm. Can they finally figure out what it means and give it a shot? Or will this be one of those things? A story that plays on in a memory while the future marches ever forward. A youthful comfort and nothing more.
So much has changed in the almost decade since they were together last, could they really make it work?
This is a One Direction fic fest for all those neglected AO3 tags out there

by croisblue for @1dneglectedtagsfest
When quadriplegic Louis Tomlinson's therapist recommends he see a surrogate partner, he panics, thinking this is yet another way he's being belittled for his disability. When said surrogate partner turns out to be Harry Styles, a nearly inhumanly beautiful man who's gone back to school for a certificate in Disability Studies, Louis finds he doesn't mind so much.

Harry's eyes drifted to where Louis’ arms were slung over the back rim of the spa, exposing his underarms again. This time his fine hair was more apparent, wet from the spa and curling a little where some droplets of water hung. Harry wanted to lick them. He blushed almost instantly when the thought came through his brain, hoping it wasn’t obvious and that the general heat on his face would disguise his embarrassment. He’d never thought anything like that before. or the one where Harry accidentally discovers a new part of Louis he really, really loves.
