Summary
It’s not that Louis is trying to lie to his friends’ and family. It’s just that saying he’s fine is simpler, and a lot less messy.
Not that he’s in emotional turmoil or anything. Sometimes he just mourns what possibly could have been, that’s all.
Which is probably why, as crazy as it sounds, writing fanfic about himself feels so cathartic. He can create his own second little universe where everything worked out. He can craft his own happy ending.
(Or the one where Louis has a secret AO3 account he uses to write Larry fanfiction. He never publishes anything without feedback from his trusty beta, an anonymous user he met through Tumblr that simply goes by H. But when he runs into Harry again after years of silence, it turns out they still might have more in common than they realized).

Summary
Even though Harry already knew who he would be meeting, he can’t help but suck in a breath when he sees him.
Louis Tomlinson. The most infamous, and notoriously ruthless, crime boss in London.
And Harry’s newest client, apparently.
(Or the one where up and coming defense attorney Harry Styles gets called to represent a new client who’s been arrested: mob boss Louis Tomlinson. But it turns out Louis’ looking for more than just legal advice, and Harry is happy to indulge him).
Title from Someone’s Gonna Die Tonight by Gin Wingmore

Summary
“Now we’re going to do some intentional breathing. I want you to seal your lips together and inhale deeply through your nose for four counts.”
Louis does as instructed.
“Next exhale for six counts, but through pursed lips. Almost as if your mouth is wrapped around a straw or something else round and cylindrical.”
Louis cracks an eye open. Admittedly his experience with meditation is limited solely to the last five minutes, but he’s pretty sure it isn’t supposed to sound this erotic.
Then again, maybe it’s just that every word that falls out of Harry’s stupidly pink lips ends up somehow sounding dirty.
(Or the one where Louis tries guided meditation to help his anxiety. But he finds his instructor Harry to be just a bit distracting, and a lot his type).
Title from God’s A Raver by Nemo

Summary
Louis' anxiety is bad enough the only real option left for him is to hire a full time live-in shifter to essentially act as a therapy animal for him.
Hopefully this Liam guy is a good fit.

Summary
Finally, the heavy door swings open revealing an obviously fit man in all-black tactical gear holding a large gun. But it isn’t one of the guards.
The curly haired man smiles, revealing a pair of dimples that Louis was sure he would never see again. In fact, he’d hoped he wouldn’t.
“Hey Blue.” He drawls, in an impossibly deep voice. “Miss me?”
Louis’ mouth drops open in shock. “Is this a joke?”
(Or the one where Louis is a renowned nuclear physicist who accidentally gets caught up in an international terrorist scheme. British Intelligence learns of the plot and plans to extract their asset. Enter in Special Agent Harry Styles. Harry, who just happens to be Louis’ ex-husband).
Title from Smithereens by Brent de la Cruz

Summary
Zayn keeps getting texts. This wouldn't be an issue if he knew who most any of the people sending the texts were, but he doesn't. He doesn't know who they are, why they're texting him, or even how they got his number.
Until he does, thanks to a kind soul he only knows as xxxSHADOWLORD420xxx.

Summary
And suddenly it’s as if all the knowledge Louis has gained from hours of medical training and several years of extensive field experience completely flies out of his head.
The only thought his brain can seem to supply is that he’s about to witness the most gorgeous man he’s ever seen, in the world’s tiniest pair of running shorts, quite literally die on this hill.
(Or the one where Louis is a paramedic hired to staff a five kilometer race. With his years of experience, it should be a piece of cake. But he soon finds out he is not even remotely prepared for the whirlwind that is Harry Styles to run into his life).
