note: this list is kinda old (i made it around august/2014) and probably won't be updated since i'm not into larry anymore. these fics are still great tho!

• things have gotten closer to the sun ▲

when a solar flare is announced to end the world in twelve days, harry reunites with the people that he used to know better than the back of his own hand.(note: THIS IS THE BEST I’VE EVER READ, IT'S PAINFULLY BEAUTIFUL AND SAD, eVErYonE SHOULD READ IT)

• through the darkest of your days ▲

“Harry thinks he might not really know what okay is, but Louis is warm next to him, solid and constant and questioning. He’s all wide eyes and nerves and vulnerability. And this feels alright, this might be some sort of okay, Harry thinks.” (note: so, i found this one when mm came out and there were this theory that louis might have read it to write through the dark so i was curious and the result was little beatriz crying the whole night. PS: LISTEN TO THROUGH THE DARK AFTER FINISHING)

• state of flux ▲

This girl has brought to light something none of them has ever really questioned before, something about their claustrophobic closeness that has always made people curious for reasons they never understood. Maybe they just assumed it was normal, in their own private, confusing little five-person world, but—maybe it’s not. (note: ok so i guess this is the closest to a het fic that i can read these days, but i never thought i would enjoy it that much - there's still larry don't worry, and it's really sweet)

• trusting things beyond mistakes

Harry wants to see if he can come without touching his cock and ends up getting more than he bargained for.

• wear it like a crown ▲

As part of a team of fixers hired to handle a gay scandal in Buckingham Palace, Louis expects Prince Harry to be a lot of things—most notably a royally spoilt brat. Never mind that the very same Prince Harry used to star in quite a number of Louis’ teenage fantasies. (note: i am totally in love with this one)

• do you wanna ▲

“I got a question for you, mate,” the lad says. “You wanna make a quick fifty quid?” (note: one of my favs, i’ve read it about 3 or 4 times)

• a second chance ▲

One month before Louis heads off to Uni, he and his best mate, Harry, get into a terrible car accident which ends tragically. Two years later, Louis had started over his life, but it all comes crashing down around him as what should be a ghost from his past starts his first year at the same University Louis goes to. Now, Louis not only has to deal with what should be long gone, but what’s bubbling under the surface of his own skin with each encounter of the boy who should be dead. (note:- this so amazing, the author writes beautifully well, i’ve read every chapter at least two times and i have a heart attack everytime there’s an update- //the author definitely dropped this one or died, such a pity)

• the finish line is a good place for us to start

Louis Tomlinson, one-time Formula 1 World Champion, is looking forward to the 2013 season. He’s got Zayn in his garage and Liam in his ear, he’s got Cowell Racing backing him despite former indiscretions, he’s got experience and the best race car out there. Not to mention he’s the only racer they have, after Oliver dropped out late last year. It hasn’t occurred to him that Oliver would have to be replaced by February. That is, until he finds himself at a party celebrating Harry Styles leaving Ferrari for Cowell. Harry hotshot Styles, who broke a record last year and is probably looking to make a big splash. Harry Styles, who is talented and somewhat intimidating. Harry Styles, who left Ferrari for reasons unknown and seems kind of lonely and harmless in person. Lonely, harmless, hot as fuck. Whatever.

The first thing Louis does is take him under his wing. From there it’s nine months of slow-burning romance, the past catching up to them, turning into the human puppy pile that is OT5 and a lot of feelings until, of course, reaching the finish line.

• purer than the water like we were

Louis is a merman and Harry is a boy. The lake is a good place to fall in love. (note: MERMAIDS!!!!)

• did the sun just come out or did you smile at me

if harry and louis were cats louis would be the white pretty specifically breeded cat that the owners give fancy food to and a special bed with jewels on the sides and harry would be the stray that ran in and he would be brown-haired and happy about life and wanting to play with louis and louis would hiss and tip over the glass of water and run away so it looked like harry did it but at night louis would climb down from his pretty bed and go to harry’s cardboard box and snuggle. (aka louis and harry are actual cats)

• drink from my bottle

Also known as the Saferides fic, in which Louis is a drunk mess and needs to call their school’s hotline to get a designated driver, who turns out to be extremely cute in a fuckable sort of way.

• until you can’t

“Was thinking,” Louis says, looking down at him proudly, hands spread on Harry’s pecs, thumbs slotting like they’re meant to into the spaces of his rib cage on the curve of his muscles, fingers spreading out across the birds on his collarbones. “This time might try something a bit different, if you’re up for it.”

• 'cause lately i’ve been waking up alone

Harry gives Louis a very special sex toy for an early birthday present, and Louis uses it on Skype when Harry’s in LA.

• all the corners of the world

AU in which Harry runs away to New York City with only his camera and a playlist and Louis doesn’t have a good side.

• pep talk turned into a pep rally

two orgies on the South American leg of the WWA tour, one Louis-centric and one Zayn-centric. (note: i like the fact that it happens in brazil yay)

• watch me apply the pressure, all decked in lace and leather ▲

The problem is, he’s never had this sort of problem with his clients before. He’s young, yes, and he’s heard some of the elderly women who come in mutter disdainfully about “shameful new-age hippie tree-huggers,” but he’s the consummate professional. He keeps the line between him and his clients firmly in place. But Louis…Louis is his type. Sexy. Sexy is his type, and Louis is it. If they’d met in a club instead, Harry would probably be humping his leg right now. As it is, he’s barely resisting the desire to grind against him on the table. But there’s a part of him that wonders if Louis might be up for it.

[harry is a masseuse. louis needs a massage.]

• darcy’s dad ▲

• a lover on the left a sinner on the right

• one more for the stars ▲

Harry’s the star quarterback and Louis is about to graduate. It’s a heartbreak waiting to happen

• mortified
