fic recs
ok so since i've been doing homework/procrastinating lately i pretty much went through all of the fics on ao3 that i've ever read. here are the ones that i remember being good. i was planning on going through one direction fanwork or w/e but i haven't had time so suck it here you go:
harry/louis
*tornadoes are for you bymyteethsharper. ~12,000 words. au where one direction is a punk(/hipster punk) band and louis has trouble with getting what he wants. there's going to be a liam/zayn sequel!
hiding out in the kitchen by littlemouseling. 28,340 words. Harry's in an internationally famous boyband with his three best mates, he gets laid on a pretty regular basis, and he's headed to Australia in a week. He doesn't need anything else, and he certainly doesn't need a boyfriend. If this nice guy he met in a coffeeshop wants to date him, great—but that's all it is. Right?
stand up by littlemouseling. 2,243 words. Louis has one technique, and only one, for getting someone to like him: making them laugh. He’s used it since he was in year five, and he can’t say it’s really worked all that well, but it works better than not trying at all. The thing is, though, Louis has made Harry laugh loads of times, and it doesn’t seem to be doing the trick.
long nights, hard times by drunktuesdays. 4,039 words. He didn't offer further explanation, because "I'm in a no-sex bet" would probably cause more questions than it would answer.
nice boy seeks same for hookup by littlemouseling. 6,348 words. Louis wants to lose his virginity but doesn't want anyone at school to know he's gay. In order to finally get with a guy, he posts an ad on Craigslist. Harry Styles answers. this is surprisingly cute!
set all my regrets on fire by pendules. 4,350 words. AU. Harry's in an indie rock band, and Louis is Britain's hottest new popstar. They don't meet by coincidence. and the sequel, always holding onto stars, 3,315 words.
but i won't ever let them make a loser of my soul byjannika. 17,800 words. New York Cinderella-ish AU where Louis is a famous out and proud pop star who records on the highly successful label owned by his own family, Zayn is his for-publicity boyfriend, Liam is a sound engineer and fairy godmother of sorts, Harry is aspiring musician who works at the worst bakery in the world, and Niall is Harry's coworker who is pretty sure they're getting paid in mafia money.
*a chance of overtime, say, my place at nine byfolkloric_feel. 13,500 words. Louis works for a theater box office and hates it, Harry is a good friend for Liam and Zayn's anniversary, and Niall's a smartass who's just worried his roommate's lusting over an ugly ninety-year-old with phone-transmittable gonorrhea. It is, in fact, as silly as it sounds.
*if you're oprah, i'll be stedman byfolkloric_feel. 16,500 words. a drake and josh au but you should read it because it's adorable.
ok i don't feel like going through every fic by these people so check the one direction tag at their community. i would put a lot of it on this list.

Although the two men don't quite click from the start it's love at first sight between Sammy and Louis. Eventually Louis and Liam warm up to each other and get on like a house on fire, in fact the two become a little too fond of each other. OK YOU GUYS I LIED THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER UGH.
*someone like you by harriet_vane. 28,201 words. A high school AU in which no one goes to school, ever. Liam has a crush, and then he runs into his crush at a party, and everything gets very complicated. if you haven't read this already... i don't even know what to tell you.

There’s nothing that Liam can do about it, and so he should stop complaining.
