🦦keep my hand in yours (48k)

written for the hlmpregficfest

one of my favourite things i‘ve ever written, i hope you like it :)
drawing of two otters lying in the water and holding hands, both otters each have a baby otter on their bellies; there are a couple of water lilies distributed around on top, the text reads in blue „keep my hand in yours by tippitytap“ keep my hand in yours tippitytap Summary: "Holy shit, we're going to have a child," Louis said with wide eyes, looking up from the bump to find Harry's gaze. He looked a bit panicked, almost scared at the idea and Harry knew the feeling all too well. It was easy to forget that there would be an actual human being there with them in a few months, one that they would be solely responsible for. But each time Harry felt the sensations of them moving around, it got all too real again. "I know," he mumbled. "We're having a baby, otter." Childhood friends turned teenage boyfriends turned husbands are about to turn into parents. The Otter Fic.

Love Is Brightest In The Dark tippitytap Summary: Whenever Harry insisted on spending time in their cave after greeting the badger moles, Louis asked him why he still wanted to come to the cave now that they had an entire house together and the answer was always the same: "Love is brightest in the dark."

🩷 If This Is a Rom-Com (Kill the Director) (27k)

written for the 1D romcom fic fest!!

archiveofourown.org/works/525993...
a made-up cover of Vogue, with the big VOGUE letter at the top plus the date „Dec 2019“ and „tippitytap“ The background of the cover is a wall filled with pink, white and red roses. On this backdrop, there is a simple b&w sketch of Harry Styles posing for the camera with his hands on his hips and his head tilted back slightly. He‘s wearing a pink, lace choker around his neck. His tattoos are on display and he‘s wearing a sleeveless, baby blue Vivienne Westwood corset that has a black and white kitten on the front with pink collar. He‘s also wearing a bottom-length, black, tulle skirt and baby blue boots. Next to him, there is the name „HARRY STYLES“ in black letters. AO3 screenshot: If This Is a Rom-Com (Kill the Director) tippitytap Summary: It wasn‘t like Harry Styles needed a housemate. It certainly wasn‘t like Harry Styles needed Louis Tomlinson as his housemate, the musical snob who only listened to a hand-picked selection of 14 artists and who had imposed a no-dating rule between the two upon moving in. They could manage to be housemates and friends, right? Right?

☀️ Of Sunshines And Sweethearts (series, 266k)

uni au, original famous families, twitter threads and reddit deep dives, and a not so subtle message to keep children off the internet.

archiveofourown.org/series/3885274
Of Sunshines and Sweethearts by tippitytap on AO3 Summary: When Louis meets Harry for the first time, the interaction is over before Louis can even get a sentence out. When Harry runs into Louis for a second time, he gets asked out on a date instead of getting yelled at for being so careless. Who could have guessed that two simple uni-students going on dates in the dark and making out against pillars in tube stations were both carrying the burdens of their family on their shoulders? And: Could the weight of those possibly get lighter if they help carry each other’s? dark blue background and light blue text that says the following: watch what you watch A first guide to why you should stop posting children online and advocate for better child protection laws

🎃 it‘s all my love (you got all my love) (8k)

pumpkins, a/b/o, pregnancy, autumn.

archiveofourown.org/works/50385964
a close up photo of three, round, orange pumpkins. there some leaves scattered among them and in the background, there is a big tree with orange leaves. screenshot from ao3: it's all my love (you got all my love) tippitytap Summary: Sometimes, he realised how he truly didn't deserve an alpha this good and patient and understanding and loving. He had no clue how Louis had bagged him, how Harry had wanted to mate with him, let alone raise pups together. Still, here they were, with Harry being the perfect lover and Louis crying in the streets about a little pumpkin. The fact Eli had baked little cakes in the shape of pumpkins that morning didn't make anything better for Louis' emotional state, but at the very least he got to sit down with Harry for a minute and devour one together, mumbling his apologies into the alpha's neck. A pumpkin-filled (literally), fluffy one-shot.

🍂 stay with me and let me feel the freedom (6k)

for anyone who needs a reminder that thoughts aren‘t permanent. a little oneshot.

archiveofourown.org/works/49058632
screenshot from ao3: stay with me and let me feel the freedom tippitytap Summary: "Thank you for not judging me tonight," Louis mumbled, already halfway across the terrace again towards the garden gate. "There was nothing to judge you for." "Still. A lot of people would have found something, so I'm really grateful." "Any time. I had a really nice evening, actually." Louis stared at him a couple of moments in disbelief, but then he smiled a little. "Me too." "Get home safely. And text me or come around, okay?" "Okay. I will. Goodnight, Harry." "Goodnight, Louis." OR: a one shot in which Louis needs a little help to get out his head and Harry is just the stranger for the job. a photograph of brown leaves on the top of a lake or a river.

☔️ I Want To Tell You That I Love You (but i can‘t speak) (30k)

aka espresso depresso.

archiveofourown.org/works/48447907
a drawing a coffee cup with arms and legs, the coffee slightly sloshing over and the cup giving a thumbs up. on top it reads „more espresso“ and on the bottom „less depresso“ the font and the coffee is in orange, the background is off-white. screenshot from ao3: I Want To Tell You That I Love You (but i can't speak) tippitytap Summary: "Tell me what's on your mind." "I said go back to sleep," Harry replied with a chuckle, completely and absolutely endeared by Louis' casual stubbornness. "I need a bedtime story." "Trust me, my mind is not made to be a bedtime story." "I don't care, it's the bedtime story I want to hear. I love Harryland, 1 want to take a visit before I fall asleep. If I'm lucky, it will follow me into my dreams. So," he said, poking Harry in the ribs with one finger, "take me to Harryland." AU: Harry is hit with another depressive episode and his therapist is only available in six weeks. In contrast to when he went through this the first time, he has Louis by his side and together - and with a lot of love - they make it through those six weeks.

🍋 Bitter Ends Turn Sweet In Time (Is That True For Yours and Mine?) (149k)

the chicago au.

archiveofourown.org/works/474808...
screenshot from ao3: Bitter Ends Turn Sweet In Time (Is That True For Yours And Mine?) tippitytap Summary: When Louis and Harry met in college, it seemed like the rest of their lives were sorted: Even if the future was uncertain and their careers could take them anywhere, at least they had each other for the rest of their days. Or until the break-up. Now, three and a half years later, neither Harry nor Louis are over the other when they unexpectedly run into each other. Slowly, and with a lot of work, they should be able to find their way back to each other. Right? The Chicago AU. a cover for the story drawn by me in the middle, there is a drawing of a lemon cut in half. one interior of the lemon shows the numbers for a clock, the other half has the pointers/indicators of the clock. at the top, it says in big bold letters: „bitter ends turn sweet in time“ at the bottom it says in cursive: „is that true for yours and mine?“ at the very bottom it says: „a story by tippitytap“ everything is in black and white.

💤 may your dreams be kind tonight (11k)

aka this author has a sleep problem and likes to project their problems onto their characters so they get solved at least in some universe.

archiveofourown.org/works/46717939
a screenshot from sleeping beauty (from the disney movie) photoshopped to look like her eyes are open with dark circles beneath them. screenshot from ao3: may your dreams be kind tonight tippitytap Summary: "Alright, then... uh, good night, I guess." He waved awkwardly. "Goodnight, Louis. Sweet dreams." Nobody had said that to Louis in a long time, but he didn't mind. He could feel the warmth of the blush on his cheeks and turned around quickly to bury himself in embarrassment in his pillows. AU: Louis has a sleep problem. Harry's job is to finish tasks for people that would have otherwise kept them from getting sleep. They fall in love along the way.

🪴 Peace Days (For The Rest Of Our Lives) (23k)

an ode to getting away and making your own home.

archiveofourown.org/works/45643984
screenshot from ao3: Peace Days (For The Rest Of Our Lives) tippitytap Summary: "So," Louis said once they had taken their first sips of wine. "So?" "You know what day it is?" Harry tilted his head in question, although Louis could see in his eyes that he was already suspecting something after Louis' initial question. "200 peace days." "200?" "Yup. 200 full days." - Louis and Harry move in together, struggle through their finances and ultimately end up with their dream safe space. An ode to getting away and making your own home. a sketch of the layout of a flat (drawn by me) at the bottom it says „peace days (for the rest of our lives) a story by tippitytap“ the flat included an entrance with an office to the left and a storage room and opens up to a big room which functions as the kitchen and the dining room. to the left of the kitchen, there is a bedroom with an adjoining balcony, as well as the bathroom. opposite the kitchen, and behind the storage room, is a big living room. some of the furniture is sketched into the rooms as well, like two green sofas and a pink rug in the living room or a big bed with blue sheets in the bedroom. there are also plants scattered across the flat, in particular on a big plant shelf in the kitchen. the names of the rooms are written in black font that resemble harry‘s and louis‘ handwritings.

🥐 you‘re in the kitchen humming (4k)

a little cinnamon roll one shot.

archiveofourown.org/works/42796743
a picture of cinnamon rolls twisted into a heart shape screenshot from ao3: you're in the kitchen humming tippitytap Summary: "This might be the best thing I have ever eaten," Louis moaned after taking another bite of his cinnamon roll. Not to pride himself too much, but Harry would have to agree with the sentiment. They made some damn good cinnamon rolls today. aka the cinnamon roll one shot (nothing dirty happens, they really just bake cinnamon rolls together)

✈️ We Met On A Plane (38k)

a famous/non-famous series that started out as a silly little one shot and just kept growing. 4 parts.

archiveofourown.org/series/3083946
screenshot from ao3: I Think I Might Love You tippitytap Summary: Right in that moment, he wanted to hurl himself out of the plane window to go on a quest and find a wizard that could make the most popular musician on the planet right now forget that Louis had just made an absolute fool of himself. - A one-shot (kind of) of non-famous Louis meeting famous Harry and them falling in love. screenshot from ao3: who wants to play hangman? tippitytap Summary: Mae had sent him a lot of messages asking him where the fuck he was, how could he miss this, what could possibly be more important than this, and a handful of messages containing only an emoji to get his attention. He had to scroll pretty far up to find the original cause of the mayhem in his phone, and when he finally saw it, he could not control the gasp that came out of his mouth. "You announced a new album while we were having sex?" he screeched and turned around to look at Harry, who was still burying his head in the pillow but had a huge grin on his face. - first, Louis finds out Harry has a new album, then he accidentally leaks some lyrics, then they play hangman on Twitter screenshot from ao3: somewhere in the crowd there's you tippitytap Summary: "Home now?" Louis asked, because if they were already romancing each other with clichés, he felt entitled to use cliché one-liners as well. Harry, instead of rolling his eyes, only looked over with a blinding smile. "Already are," he whispered and squeezed Louis' hand a bit tighter. OR Harry sings Super Trouper on tour to surprise Louis. screenshot from ao3: P Lima tippitytap Summary: "P Lima!" "It's W Santiago, Louis! You can't just always yell a random letter of the alphabet and the first South American capital that comes to your mind!" Harry shouted back, but the viciousness was gone from his voice, despite the volume. OR I had to come up with a fight for them to fight so I could write this one line, but it's nothing serious and they immediately make up again.

💛 my gorgeous, my darling (98k)

archiveofourown.org/works/391142...
screenshot from ao3 my gorgeous, my darling tippitytap Summary: "Are we going to be alright?" Harry whispered ten minutes later. "Despite my family, and all the other shit in our lives?" Louis hummed, his vocal folds vibrating against Harry's head. "We'll be alright, gorgeous." OR: Harry and Louis have been in a secret relationship for four months when Harry has to confront his inner demons and start thinking about coming out to everyone. a picture with just a pink-brownish colour as the background. in big black letters it says „happiness looks gorgeous on you“
