Summary
“You are our saving grace.”
Louis is in hiding - from his past, from loss, from the powers that stole everything from him. For 3 years, he’s abided by rules he drafted the night he fled his homeland of Braris:
1) Trust no one.
2) Any magic, including manifestations of his own visions, is off limits.
3) Keep to himself unless strictly necessary - getting attached would only end in disaster.His new life in Milan, Ohio is lonely, but it’s safe, and that’s exactly what Louis needs. Lonely is better than broken, and as the years pass, he resigns himself to an impending century of isolation.
Enter Harry, a kind, funny, beautiful mortal who turns Louis’ existence upside down. He has a penchant for breaking every one of Louis’ carefully curated rules just by being himself.
While Louis’ walls slowly crumble, the life he is building with Harry is threatened by both the whispers of the future and the hauntings of his past.
When he is pulled back into The Monarchy’s eternal, tyrannical rule, Louis must ask himself 1 question: is it better to fight for his own freedom or for the freedom of the people he left behind?
The runaway Seer might just be Braris’ saving grace after all.

Summary
Louis looks at him like his words might break him, glass about to splinter, one wrong footfall away from shattering into a million tiny pieces.
“Hey,” Harry breathes, and he knows, meeting Louis’ eyes, that his words could break him easy as anything. He almost wants Louis to bring his boot down.

Summary
When Harry Styles was accepted into a post-grad degree, he knew he could no longer afford his flat, leaving him with three options:
1) Move back into student halls.
2) Become homeless.
3) Move in with his best (and only) friend, Niall, and three of Niall's other mates.
He went with the third option. But it was a close race.
Shame one of his roommates reminded him why he only has one friend.
If there is one thing Louis Tomlinson can't stand, it's pretentious tossers, having grown up around enough of them. If there is one thing he can't live without, it would be his friends. So he was proper thrilled to move in with his best mates and a couple of other lads.
That was until he discovered one of them was the archetype for a pretentious tosser.In the interest of seeing out the twelve-month lease without killing each other, they both try (debatable) to get along despite believing they are opposite in almost every conceivable way, each having the communication skills of a cucumber, and secrets that have no business be kept secret.

Summary
“About last night,” Harry says suddenly, as if he’d been debating on whether to say anything. Louis whips back around to look at him.
“Do not finish that thought,” Louis says just as abruptly.
Harry looks at him oddly, as if assessing him. With a small frown, it seems the assessment is over. “I only wish to say that you do not have to dwell on it. The rest of the men will surely forget by tonight.”
“And you?” Louis asks, raising an eyebrow. “Will you forget?”
“I will remember every second of it fondly,” the Lord says, no trace of a tease in his words.
or, a Victorian era au where Louis pines for his overprotective older brother’s very charming best friend.- Language:

Summary
Broadway shows were one of the few things that could keep Louis’ attention for a full two hours without needing to move about. But not tonight.
The alpha next to him was both infuriating him and practically turning him on at the same time. He needed to leave. The alpha, that is. Louis was staying.
Or the one where Louis is a nonverbal omega who has accepted the fact that he will never find an alpha that will treat him as an equal. On the other hand, he’s never met anyone like Harry.

The Afterlife Fic (The Best I Ever Had in My Entire Life... Or Death) by LovingCup

Summary
AU- After dying in an accident, Louis Tomlinson arrives in the Afterlife. Not Heaven and not Hell, Louis finds himself in Judgment City UK: a pristine city where the food and entertainment are divine and the newly departed must undergo a Review of their life on Earth to determine if they have lived a life worthy of advancement in the universe, or if they must be returned to Earth to be born again in a new body.
On his first full day in the Afterlife, Louis meets Harry Styles, and the two have an instant connection. Over the course of their Reviews, they fall in love and begin to find that even though they didn't know each other on Earth, they are nonetheless linked to one another in perfect ways. Both are hoping to move ahead in the universe together, but they are challenged with the threat of separation if one or both of them is sent back to Earth to be born again.
Loosely based on the Albert Brooks' film "Defending Your Life" starring Brooks and Meryl Streep. One scene in particular is drawn from the movie, but other than that scene and the general concept, this story veers far away from the film. There were no blowies in the 1991 movie, I swear!- Language:

Summary
“Why exactly are you here?” Louis asked, feigning annoyance and failing pathetically at it.
“My publicist told me I can't go anywhere near you.” Harry said, eyes still smudged with last night's eye liner. “That makes you my favorite person in the world.”Or the one where Louis has everything: a lead role in a giant Hollywood franchise, a glittering new house with an entertaining Irish neighbor, and a steady, normal boyfriend who he probably loves. Louis never expected to become a household name among young Hollywood overnight. He also never expected to find something endearing about the enigmatic rockstar who keeps showing up on his back porch.

Summary
His first driving lesson with Louis takes place on a Saturday.
Harry stumbles out through the front gate in thrown-on baggy jeans and his ratty Ramones shirt, sees Louis leaning casually against the car, and his knees nearly give out. Apparently "not another surly teacher" meant a drop dead gorgeous twenty-something scruffy guy with shaggy brown hair and cheekbones sharp enough to chop a salad with. Clearly, Robin's trying to get Harry killed at seventeen.
Or, the AU where Louis is a 25-year-old driving instructor and Harry is a 17-year-old virgin who's really awful at seduction, except for the time he gets Louis to fall for him and fuck him senseless and take him on kinky adventures.

Summary
“Lets move back a bit yeah?” Harry clutches at his waist with a free hand and tugs him to move through the crowd until they are almost at the back of the group and settles them both beside the far wall. “There. That better?”
Louis looks up at him, as if he’s a tad dazed. “Uh, yeah, thanks. Can’t really see much from back here either though.”
Harry lifts a shoulder and grins at him, placing a hand on the wall behind Louis to pen him in. “We’ll just have to create our own fireworks then, won’t we?” He says it jokingly with a wink, and Louis laughs but he seems nervous. He must know that Harry is harmlessly flirting. Harry flirts with everyone after all, including Louis.
“Do you think this is a good idea Haz?” Louis asks quietly, almost too quietly in the clamour of the room, his head bowed as he scuffs his shoe on the carpet.
“Stop over thinking it Lou, it’s one kiss. What’s the worst that could happen?”
Or
The one where Harry and Louis agree to be each other's New Year's kiss and it ends up being a lot more than they bargained for.

Summary
Louis is precise, has to be since he's an Architectural designer. He has an office and works at one of the best companies called Legendary Builds Inc. However, Louis had a particular taste for outside of work activities. He was the Dominant and Sadist. It's been awhile since he's had a submissive, so when he made an account on a random sugar daddy website, that's where he met Harry. The pretty petite man who wore knickers, lace garters, and hair clips and needed another income. Harry didn't know that Louis was into BDSM; nor has he ever been a sub before, but with Louis it came naturally. Falling in love with Louis came naturally as well, but the day Louis notices Harry did fall for him, all of his past traumas and fears resurface, leaving him conflicted about what to do next.
Will Louis give up? Will Harry fight back?
