big bag o' one direction recs pt. 2
mostly harry/louis, some louis/liam, maybe some surprises? i don't really remember. all based on my personal preference! link to the first reclist here.
gen/ot5:
» undressed by theviolinist: They come back to the bungalow to help Harry detox from heroin.
harry/louis:
» i think i love you better now by retorico: The one where they make a marriage pact, and it's not serious until it is.
» there's something about you (that makes me feel alive) by padattack
» we rest our heads upon one pillow by ashavahishta: Sometimes Zayn aches for something like what Louis and Harry have.
» who said chivalry was dead? by drivetothestars: inspired by the rumours that harry punched a paparazzi guy. this was my immediate headcanon.
» stopgap measures by junkshop_disco: Life has it in for Louis. Why else would it let Harry catch him wearing ladies' underwear?
» tension and release by itslaurenyall: Louis understands buildup better than most, and he thinks Harry probably understands it better than that.
» maybe if we face up to this (we can make it through this) by mrsyt31: The realization that he is in love with his best friend sneaks up on Harry out of nowhere.
» you'll know it's just for you by infinitesparks: He wished he could be as brave as Harry, as bold as Harry - as willing to defy gravity and break all the rules and just let them be together. But he couldn't do it. He couldn't have that following him around. He knew that so many things would change if they went public, if they outed themselves - he wasn't sure if he was quite ready for his world to get turned upside down all over again just yet.
» when i feel that something by leira17: In which Harry and Louis are put into a duo instead of a group, and Louis Googles asexuality.
» come on, baby by estrella30: pot smoking! shotgunning!
» we are illuminated by theviolinist: The one where they're both painters and it shouldn't be a problem, but it is.
» you're a superstar by blackwave: Penniless and bored in Paris, the boys head to a gay bar to see who can get the most drinks bought for them. Some are more successful than others.
» running you with red by uneven_fic: AU. The guys are fighters.
» and possibly i like the thrill by mentalistecbm: harry's more than a little bit in love, and sometimes every second with louis is the happiest he's ever been.
» agent provocateur by lemonface: Harry looks like he's constantly about to drop into subspace when he's talking to Louis onstage.
» lately i've been craving more by mrsbeas: Harry's tired of being cast aside every time she shows up
» let's freefall and see where we land by cassiehayes: Five important moments when Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson kissed, in five different versions of their lives.
» many the miles by ashavahishta: Louis would be embarrassed by how his voice goes all low and husky, but it’s no secret between the two of them that he likes to leave marks. They both do; bites and bruises, slow kisses sucked into one another’s skin as a visible reminder of their time together.
» these tornadoes are for you by myteethsharper: this is an alternate universe where the boys are in a punk band instead of a boy band and there is pining and lots of self-indulgent music talk.
» the earth encompasses and swallows me like an atom by mozarts_piano: harry and louis go on an intergalactic road trip across the solar system (or the one where they look at diamond rain on saturn)
» it's only fair to tell you (i'm absolutely cuckoo) by tamzinrose: it's not always easy, you can admit that. there are early mornings when you'd rather stay all warm and snuggly and sleeping in your bed, but you force yourself to get up and shower and get dressed, and sometimes you have to force harry to get up and shower and get dressed too.
» through the darkest of your days by robpatff: 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.
» check your handbook, it's no trick by jannika: (liam/zayn, bg harry/louis) A boarding school AU in which Louis means well but doesn’t always have the best ideas, Niall wants them to start a band, Liam listens to advice he probably shouldn't, Harry is new at school, Zayn is waiting for the right time and they're all kind of idiots. (Or the one where Zayn attempts but fails to dislike Harry and it's all Louis' fault and Liam has a really great smile and seriously, guys, Niall just wants to start a band.)
» play a chord by lucy_and_ramona: As it turns out, being best friends with kissing doesn't really change their relationship.
liam/louis:
» 5 times and 1 time by anonymous: based on the lyric, "you kept falling in love and then one day, when you fell, you fell towards me" from the song "please don't go" by barcelona.
» stitching up the seams by cheese_cak3: It’s never easy to forget but at least Louis’ stopped fighting it, broken bones and split skin does that. (TRIGGER WARNINGS)
» heart skips a beat by harriet_vane: Harry always kisses everyone, until he starts something he can't finish.
» it's baseball season by end_thistragedy: where liam keeps mentioning baseball season, louis wants to be his friend, niall is a ladies man, and zayn has a boner for harry
» the words are written in the air by cheese_cak3: Liam’s only ten, two years since he’s mother passed, when his dad remarries and he’s introduced to Louis.
» with the hope that you would tame me by itunescuddle: Once, on a dull night off, Liam tries asking Google on a whim. He stares at the blinking cursor in the search bar for a while, trying to figure out how to phrase it, because something tells him "why does my mate like it when I hit him" won't bring up a lot of helpful results.
» skin that shows in patches by intherubble: louis is a makeup artist. liam is not entirely surprised.
