My >extremely Long< Harry Fanfic Rec Masterlist

my >extremely long< harry fanfic rec masterlist

Hey guys! I’ve been trying to find a way to put together a fanfic rec masterlist for a long time now, but I have SO MANY fics to list that it seems impossible to get to the end of it lol So this post will be a WIP kinda thing, okay? Bare with me! I’ll keep updating the post any chance I get!

Here you'll find:

Harry Styles fanfics.

Fanfics written between 2013 - 2020.

Only complete and chaptered stories.

Original female characters.

Mature content.

KEEP IN MIND:

Most of these links only work on mobile or desktop!

Warnings weren't listed back then so be careful about triggering content!

my all time faves <3 

(aka fanfics that blew my mind and inspired me to start writing fanfic too. all these are multi-chaptered fics, meaning they have over 15 chapters!)

Elephant Gun -

Dani's notes: Okay. This is my forever #1 fic rec. You won't (and shouldn't) be able to find it anywhere, because a couple of years ago Cat (the writer) decided to take her stories down. Still, I bring it up because I don't think you'll ever understand (unless you were here back then) how much that story blew everyone's minds! The plot was UNBELIEVABLE, and each chapter was always "the best thing i've ever read". Besides being an amazing and talented writer, Cat was also an extremely nice and kind person (you have no idea how long my feedbacks to her used to be and she always was patient enough to read everything and discuss the characters with me!! ugh I used to love that!!). Honestly, I will always and forever remember this story as the best Harry ff ever written.

a rhapsody of sorts by @silverglass

2015 | MA  Summary (from the author): A best mate isn’t easy to come by — Oliver Rose knows this well. After losing the greatest friend she’s ever had, Rose is left with little more than an empty flat, a phone that she rarely answers, and a lack of respect from the public. Worst of all, her artistry has flown the coop with no signs of returning any time soon — much to the irritation of her record label. Now, with most of her time spent chugging screwdrivers and lying on her cold entryway floor, Rose barely makes time for one of the only friends she has left in her neighbor, Liam. She has even less time for Liam’s annoyingly endearing band mate, who takes it upon himself to learn what it is about Oliver Rose that makes her so dead confusing to him. Dani’s notes: Rose and Harry will be forever in my heart. Honestly, this fanfic is one of my favorites and Sary's writing blew my mind from the very beginning. Harry is famous in the story, but it isn’t a story about him, and it’s totally worth the read! I used to send Sary a lot of messages back then (I used to have a different blog), talking about each chapter and asking about her writing process and all that, and I always appreciated her very detailed answers. First time I ever wrote in English I even sent her an email so she could take a look and help me out lol. Such an amazing writer and person. It meant the world to me and until this day I go back to her writing to get some inspiration <3 

nom de plum by @stylesprimes

2014 — 2015 | MA Summary (from the author): A story of Canadian stereotypes, negotiating success, and finding someone worth holding on to. Dani’s notes: This is a masterpiece. I can't even being to explain how much I admire the creativity behind this fanfic. It isn’t an AU, but I still truly enjoy this story and it’s absolutely worth reading because the plot is absolutely amazing. Please, read this. Cecilia is such an amazing character and the planning is truly inspiring.

Crooked Heart by @nebulastyles (mibba)

2014-2016 | MA Summary (from the author): Fiona Kingsley is impatient, sarcastic, and almost always angry at something. It isn’t enough that she’s having a bad start of term, start of September, start of being single again. There’s also the annoying, clumsy boy that has taken up residence on her sofa because it’s closer to his work, an enthusiastic, slightly obnoxious flatmate that never goes out with the same girl twice, a best friend who’s too nice for her own good, and the constant disapproval of her parents for her to deal with. Despite being confident in the fact that she’s the most pessimistic person in the room at any given time, Fiona has somehow amassed an odd group of friends that balance the scale with their own (usually) upbeat personas, perhaps proving the idea that opposites really do attract. An AU in which Harry is an aspiring chef, Niall knows more about politics than he does girls, Zayn’s got everything figured out, Louis is too lazy to study, and Liam is worth more than he gets credit for. Dani’s notes: I love, love, love, love, LOVE this one. Seriously, I love it SO MUCH I can’t even explain it. You can only read it on mibba. Please read this!!

Sugar on the Asphalt by @justanchorandhope

2013 — 2014 |  Summary (from the author): There were very few things Graceland Ainsworth believed couldn’t be fixed with a cupcake. A story about baking, snarling, and finding love in the most unexpected places. Dani’s notes: It’s not AU, but the story it’s not about Harry’s fame/work and Graceland and Harry are two incredible characters. They weren’t just “two characters”, you know? They were DEEP characters, extremely interesting and so captivating. Niall is also absolutely amazing here, so it’s a bonus. I go back from time to time just to read again, because the writing is just amazing. The sequel is mind blowing too! (It might contain some triggering content for some people, though.)

Tennessee Teacakes by @justanchorandhope

2014-2015 | MA Summary (from the author): While Graceland Styles believed there were very few things a cupcake couldn’t fix, she wasn’t so sure a southern red velvet could fix her marriage. A story about building, repairing, and starting from scratch. Dani’s notes: Completely amazing. Words can't even begin to explain how much I admire this story, the author, everything about it. Sequel of Sugar on the Asphalt. 

multi-part fics (more than 15 chapters)

(listed by year, starting from 2014)

dandelion and burdock by @stylesprimess 

2015 | MA Summary (from the author): Frances just wants her downstairs neighbour to stop playing guitar with his window open in the middle of the night and to finish her engineering degree in peace. But then comes a night when fixing an amp for Harry Styles of Hysterical Naked ‘fame’ (they’re only ‘famous’ on campus, but that may change soon) leads to an all-night adventure that ends at everyone’s favourite diner, and she finds herself wishing she’d never been introduced to his pretentious ass in the first place. A uni/indie/ended-up-at-Denny’s AU. Dani’s notes: omg I can’t remember reading this one but I know I did and I even saved it as my fav. Also, Natalie is the author so I have no doubts it’s completely amazing. I’m actually happy I can’t remember reading it because now I’m gonna start all over again lol.

EVAPORATE by @standingfacingwest 

2015 | Summary (from the author): Matilda Fitzgerald loves dinosaurs, making music and the fact that no one gives a shit about her cleaning up her dog’s poop in the park. When Harry Styles tells the world he likes her album in an interview, things start to get a little more complicated. A story about snapchat banter spirals, secret rap skills and how to navigate the world when what you used to love starts to turn on you.

Let’s pretend it’s love — @letspretenditslovefic 

2015 | MA Summary (from the author): “Well, Presley. I can’t wait to meet this boyfriend of yours.” Neither can I. Presley Taylor has just dug her way into the biggest hole of a lie and a lanky, dorky bloke with an affinity for flamboyant printed shirts and worn leather boots just may be the solution to her problem. A story about friendship, bridesmaid rivallries, a pair of lucky boots, and how falling in love is never just pretend

JOURNEYMAN by @littlebird006

2015-2016 |  Summary (from the author): Beth has a freshly stamped passport, a passion for plants, and maybe, possibly, a coffee addiction. So what if she’s a little on the shy side and is scared to try new things? She’s perfectly capable of being by herself Harry has a motorcycle, a passion for making Beth blush, and a definite tea addiction. So what if he has a questionable past and punches people for a living? He’s quite keen on being on his own  An AU about not knowing you need something until it literally hits you and finding out that help can come from where you least expect it

Sharper Image by @arizonaskieswriting

2015 |  Summary (from the author): Tellulah Scott was your typical, run-of-the-mill college student. Except, that one of her best friends and her sometimes-neighbor was Harry Styles. Despite what the media thinks and what some of the people around them think, Harry and Telly really are just friends. When Harry approaches Telly about helping him out with a master plan to score the girl of his dreams, Telly hesitantly obliges. She doesn’t particularly care to be forced into friendship with a girl she doesn’t know, but for Harry’s sake, she concedes. But, when feelings get mixed and twisted, and Harry’s traveling schedule becomes more hectic than ever, will Harry and Telly be able to stick to the plan?

Valley of the Dolls by @onismanxiety

2015 |

With The New Crowd by @likeamisfit

2015 | Summary (from the author): Harry Styles hasn’t set foot on English soil since One Direction went on hiatus nearly two years ago. He has over 3,000 contacts in his phone, more than half of whom he can barely remember meeting. With the constant barrage of people coming into his life, he never thought he could feel so lonely in a crowded room. Maude de Saram is a certified genius whose short-term goals include getting high and making rent. She’s lazy and unmotivated to a fault, but she knows exactly who she is and where she stands. She never thought a rich twat like Harry Styles would be begging to slum it with her and her friends in Brixton. A story about mad scientists, working class woes, and what it means to call London home

Cubicle by @grapejuicebluebird

2015-2017 | MA Summary (from the author): I'm Harry. I have a mundane job where I sit in a cubicle all day. But things just got better because the hottest babe just started working here. And I'm determined to make her mine, even if just for one night. I'm Roni. I just started this new job, but all I can think about is the hottie in the corner cubicle. I think he likes me too.

Matched by @mrmiresa 

2016 | Summary (from the author): Harry Styles wasn’t a fan of Mackenzie Miller freshman year when she threw up on his new Chucks after a Public Speaking assignment gone wrong and he certainly isn’t a fan of her now that she’s his bossy, overbearing (and frankly, bitchy) senior capstone project partner. But MatchedTM, everyone’s favorite new campus dating app, is said to use the most advanced algorithm to finding true love thus far… and this anonymous little app is about to shake things up. A story as cliche and light-hearted as Uni AU’s can get: about finding friendship in unexpected places, overcoming your fears, and trusting that fate knows what it’s doing.

THE GOLDEN HOUR (COMPLETE) by @standingfacingwest

2016 | Summary (from the author): Harry Styles is a part time lifeguard and law student. He’s found just the right way to lean on poolside and make the girls go crazy. Alexis Bishop is a media student who doesn’t have time for his bullshit or for the bickering females at work who have already succumbed to Harry’s charms. Along with her rabble of a student house, Alexis is taking on her second year at University in a blur of parties and essays. But she didn’t bet on Harry making a nuisance of himself and elbowing his way into her life. A story about triathlons, poolside patrols and surprising people when they think they have you figured out.

SLOW BURN by @allywrites

2016 | MA Summary (from the author): For Joelle Katler, life’s been all right.  She’s at school in her favorite state, she’s living with her best friend, and there’s always a bottle of wine ready to be popped in her fridge.  And that’s okay. For Harry Styles, life passes by.  He’s passionate about his job, he has his own apartment, and he’s making a home for himself in an unfamiliar place.  He should feel satisfied. Maybe it’s time they ignite a little something in each of their lives. A firefighter AU about taking risks and not being alone. Warnings: contains mature themes, alcohol abuse, mentions of death

SPIT FIRE by @showingthroughtome

2016 |  Summary (from the author): Noa Cherry was a fan of the simple things in life. A nice manicure, a good lyric, a well-planned out cheer leading routine that could win her team 1st place at the state championship. To others, one or two of those things may have seemed difficult, but not to her. Harry, on the other hand, found nearly everything to be difficult - the only exception being Basketball. No matter what, he could always get that burnt orange ball through the hoop. So much so, that a leading American college recruited him. And the list of things he couldn’t do? That was endless. He couldn’t stop smoking pot, he couldn’t stop getting tattoos, he couldn’t stop chasing a girl who already had a football player attached to her at every party. He knew he should at least try to stop, but he also knew that there was no fun in that. an uni au saturated in pot clouds and irrelevant sports dreams

Young Blood by @standingfacingwest
