Summary
“Don’t tease, Nick,” Harry says. His voice is like gravel and Nick wants to be dragged, bodily, over the sound until he’s covered in the filth of it.
Nick swallows down the lump in his throat and looks Harry in the eye, tries to convey emotion he doesn’t quite know how to articulate without giving himself away entirely. “For once in my life, H, I am not teasing. ‘S nice, proper nice.” Pretty, Nick wants to say, pretty like you.
Harry scrunches his face and glances away. “I know it’s, like, girly or whatever. But I like it… like the way it makes me feel.”
or: a tender HS1 era Gryles fic.

Summary
You know when a relationship is really good if it remains good after the first argument. Harry thinks you need to go past the twentieth, but Nick didn't want to wait and see. Harry could get over it, but it's hard when they're both stuck together as members of the local LGBT committee.

Summary
“Hey, are you…”
As he hesitates, a line appearing between his furrowed eyebrows and a pout forming on his puffy pink lips, the words “don’t say it” run on a loop in Nick’s head, like a prayer.
“... okay?”
He said it.
Fuck.A gryles AU based on Harry’s iconic quote from the Jools Holland interview.

Told backwards in time, we see Nick and Louis get married after going through a difficult time, then we see Louis serving time for dealing cocaine, and finally we see how the two met. So it's an angst sandwich.

Summary
When Louis stubs out his cigarette and checks his phone, he's met with messages from almost everyone he's ever talked to. He isn't surprised; his phone had been vibrating almost non-stop since management released a statement. ("It is with a heavy heart we inform everybody that Louis Tomlinson, a vital member of Modest!'s family, has recently come forward with allegations against Tom Pierce. Tomlinson brought to our attention that during his time spent on the X-Factor, Pierce repeatedly forced him to give and receive undesired sexual acts. Modest! will continue to support Louis and we applaud him for his bravery, and have cut all ties with Pierce. During this hard time, we hope everybody will respect Louis and the rest of the Tomlinson family as they pursue legal action. Thank you.”)
or,
Louis and Harry were sexually abused by judge Tom Pierce during their time on X-Factor. Years later, Louis comes forward with it. -

Summary
As Nick scanned the shelves, his eyes caught on a bright blue binding. Snooki, it read, A Shore Thing.
“Oh my God,” Nick mumbled, trying not to laugh as he picked it up. He’d watched bits and pieces of Jersey Shore way back in the day.
Without bothering to look any further around the store, he headed up to the counter where Blue eyes was watching him. Nick cleared his throat nervously and set the book on the counter and the man immediately flashed him a look of disdain.
“Seriously? Out of everything we have available, you chose the book we special ordered for a customer?”
“Well, it can’t be that bad if someone specifically requested it, right?” Nick said, trying to keep a teasing tone.
“Why do you think we still have it if it was a special order?” the man asked with a scoff. “They returned it after reading something like three pages.”
Nick frowned at the book. “Well that doesn’t seem very fair.”
Or the one where Nick is a writer, Louis works in a bookshop, and things don't exactly start off on the right foot, but they might just end on it.

Summary
“It’s just easy with him,” he says, tracing a finger over the Skinnygirl logo on the label of his wine. He loves that they still sacrifice their taste buds for the joke of buying it after all these years. “He’s so easy going, he can laugh things off, but he’s not, like, a pushover. Like one time, I tried to order for him at a restaurant and he was so smooth about interrupting and ordering himself. He didn’t make me feel like an asshole, you know? I don’t think the server even noticed. It wasn’t a big deal or a fight or anything like it would have been with–”
“Louis,” Aimee finishes, tilting her head and watching him carefully. She’s the only one who really knows what a toll that relationship had taken on him. And not just the breakup, but how hard it had been for Nick to always feel like a consolation prize, some kind of runner up. Second best. Story of his fucking life.
Until recently.
Spring 2021. Four years after breaking up with Louis and moving to New York with his best friend Aimee, Nick runs into Niall and they start dating. When their relationship gets serious, Nick struggles to tell Niall how much he means to him.

The Only Thing That Keeps Me Grounded by lululawrence

Summary
“Shit, I definitely missed the last train.”
“Oh no,” Louis lamented. “I’d offer a ride, but I’m part of a carpool and we’re full already. I’m so sorry.”
“Really, it’s fine.” Then, what Louis said sank in. “Wait, I thought you were here alone?”
“Oh, I am. I’m the only one dancing here tonight. The others were working. In fact, here’s Nick now.”
It felt like slow motion as a tall, lanky man with incredible hair came walking over towards Louis. He smiled before pulling Louis into him and giving him a quick kiss.
“Nick, this is my new friend Harry. He just moved to the area and he’s amazing at swing. Harry, this is my husband, Nick.”
Fuck.
Or the one where Harry moves to Washington DC to be a nanny and never expects that his past struggles with love will be brought to a head. He definitely never expects the solution to it all will be the man of his dreams that just so happens to be married to the other man of his dreams.

Summary
"Harry was young, and Nick was younger. Harry was nineteen and Nick had felt it. Rushing through their days together in a stream of near-constant texting, selfies, inside jokes. Breakfasts morphing into boozy brunches, spending afternoons acquainting themselves with London and with one another."
Nick's drunk, and he can't avoid his feelings forever. Set in 2013 and 2019.

Summary
“Didn’t catch your name earlier?” he asks, tilting his head to go along with his lilting voice.
“Nnrg,” Nick replies smoothly, failing to meet Louis’ hand with his own as he realizes just how garbled his smooth reply actually was. He overcorrects and vaguely slaps Louis’ hand before managing to wring it in his own, much to Louis’ apparent amusement.
Carefree. Confident. Over the top. Nick may be a bit of a disaster, but no one can deny the mood for Leo season suits him.
