Summary
"I need to talk to you." Is all Harry says before grabbing Louis' wrist and practically yanking him away. Louis makes a not so masculine noise and glances behind him just to see that his friends couldn't care less that he's about to get murdered.
"Listen Harry, I was just messing around, there's no reason to start a physical fight. I mean — I'm only five nine and you're, like, seven feet tall, I couldn't possibly win against you. I still have a life to live, I have a family that cares about me. If you're gonna murder me, can you at least wait until I finish college? That's the least you could do." Louis rambles as Harry drags him all the way to the locker rooms. Harry just ignores him.
"If you beat me up you'll probably get kicked off the team — " Louis words are muffled by Harry's lips pressing into his own.
Or the one where Louis and Harry hate each other, but a little bit of petty arguing and subtle violence isn’t very good at hiding how they really feel.

Summary
All finesse tossed aside, Harry yanks the envelope from Miss Eden’s hand. He hears her laugh, bright and cheerful as he tears into the envelope. His eyes skipping over the complimentary paragraph congratulating him for being assigned, settling into the centre of the letter - the name of his future mate.
And suddenly, Harry feels there isn’t enough air in this world for him to inhale as he recites the name in his mind. Louis Tomlinson.
OR
In the world where mates are assigned to everyone and deposited to their door when an agreeable partner is found for them, Alpha Louis has recently been given his. However, he is nothing like the type of alpha that the omega academy prepares Harry for.

It wasn't easy, but they were happy, but that all changed when Harry disappeared one day without a word. Louis found out why Harry left when it was the band's 10th anniversary, and their lives took another turn.

Summary
Werewolf AU 'cause there aren't enough already :)
“No, Liam! How many times do I have to… before you finally… NO WAY … a rogue in our pack?… cannot trust him … don’t care to know him … have enough members to worry about.”
He hears more indistinct shouts before he hears pretty clearly: “His own pack didn’t want him!”
Sitting here, his precious bag between his feet and everyone in the room looking at him, some with pity, some with disdain, some with curiosity, Louis feels like someone squeezed his heart in their hands and isn’t letting it go. He wills his head to stay up high and his posture to stay confident. He will not flee the room. He will not let that stupid lump in his throat get the better of him. He will stay here until Liam returns. He will take the rejection in stride and move on. Like he’s been doing all his life."
--
Louis is a rogue Omega who's suffered through rejection and abuse for the biggest part of his life. He stumbles onto the Styles pack, quite possibly the kindest one he's ever met.

Summary
Then he looks up and is met by the greenest eyes on this side of the state border. Harry Styles grins wildly at him, dimple deep in his cheek as his eyes sparkle.
Hope Floats 90’s AU. When Louis Tomlinson finds out his wife is cheating on him with his best friend, he packs up his life and takes his daughter back to his childhood hometown to start anew. The problem is—he’s not so sure he’s moving forwards rather than backwards.

Summary
“When's she due?”
“She said next month,” Harry replied quickly, ignoring the look of shock on Louis’ face. “How the hell am I going to tell my parents that I’m going to be a father, and to a baby born out of wedlock? It’s going to be some whole-ass scandal, Lou, and I can’t ... I can’t-”
“I’ll help you. Whatever it takes, Harry, I’ll be there for you.”
~~~~~
When Prince Harry unexpectedly becomes a father, his best friend Louis steps in. The masses believe the baby is Louis’, but all Harry wants is to tell the world the truth - about the baby and his feelings for Louis.

Summary
“Harry, you’re scaring me. Why did you need me to come home? I don’t mind, not if you need me, but… tell me what’s happening, love.”
“I…” Harry cleared his throat, but still the words wouldn’t come. His shaking hand reached down and pulled out the picture, his breath coming in shallow pants as he handed it to Louis, who took it from him, frowning down at it.“Whose is this?”
Louis’ blue eyes met Harry’s green then, and Harry knew he had to tell the truth.
“It’s mine. Ours. I’m pregnant, Louis.”
*****
Louis and Harry had long ago come to terms with the fact they couldn’t have children. Rapidly approaching their forties, they’re settled at work, and more than happily married.
Life, however, has other plans for the Tomlinsons.

Summary
“That’s you, isn’t it? Sitting across a table from Louis Tomlinson?”
There was no point denying it so Harry nodded slowly, unable to drag his eyes away from the screen. “Where is this photo?”
“Online. Everywhere, as you can imagine. Louis Tomlinson’s mystery date.”
“Fuckkkkk,” Harry mumbled, zooming in slightly, just grateful you really couldn’t make out his face from the angle the photos were taken on. It was probably one of the people in the coffee shop given the grainy hue to the image, but it was definitely clear that it was Louis. “Oh god, Ni…”
“Are you going to tell me what the fuck is going on? Why the hell are you out drinking with Louis Tomlinson? How long has this been going on, Harry?!”
*****
Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are from two completely different worlds. One a successful pop star, one a bookshop owner with a not so small fan crush on said pop star. Their paths were never supposed to cross - idol and fan was their only destiny. Until it wasn’t.

Summary
“Just say bloody ‘congratulations’ and stop torturing yourself with this!”
“It sounds a bit homophobic, though, doesn’t it?” Harry drawls, craning his neck to look at her.
“What does?” Mitch chimes in from across the room. “Congratulations?”
“Yeah…” Harry hums, clearly distracted with his own thoughts. “Like… It’s like I’m saying: you're gay. We get it. Congratu-fucking-lations.”
“I’m pretty sure the addition of ‘fucking’ is what makes it rude, H,” Sarah points out innocently, but she’s smirking.
(Or the one where Louis Tomlinson comes out as gay at the age of thirty and all the other former One Direction members find out through social media. All of them. Harry Styles included.)

Running like a river trying to find the ocean
Flowers in the concrete
Climbing over fences, blooming in the shadows
Places that you can't see
Coming through the melody when the night bird sings

Summary
Harry is content with his life. Yeah, people sometimes sat on him and didn’t take him seriously, but he didn’t mind. He just wanted to get through his last year of high school and then figure out the rest of his life. Little did he know, the rest of his life was going to come knocking. You see, Harry is the intended Luna of Pack Tomlinson of Genovia. The only issue, Harry has never met his supposed soulmate and he has no desire to become a Luna, whatever that is.
This was written for the OHFicfest2023 with the following prompt: Harry has been living his life in the city with his mom and his cat until one day a man approaches him and tells him that it’s time for him to fulfil his destiny: to become the Luna of the Tomlinson pack. This man tells him that his Alpha is waiting for him and on his 18th birthday, they will bond and rule the pack together. Harry laughs in his face but when his mom confirms this, Harry is thrown into a life he never expected.

Summary
“Poem. I made you a poem.”
“Oh yeah? Can I hear your poem?” Louis turns on the car and exits the school building.
“Wait.” Louis takes a glance and sees his daughter struggle to open her bag, strained thanks to the safety belt. “Aha!” She shouts when she finally finds the wrinkled paper. She clears her throat dramatically. “My mama is cool, because one day he took me to the pool. My mama is beautiful, and I feel grateful. My mama is pocketful, because his pocket is always full.”
Louis ruffles Chrys’ hair making the green-eyed kid groan and swat his hand away.
“You think I’m beautiful?” Louis’ voice is soft.
“Well, duh. You’re the most beautiful person on Earth, mama.” She pauses for a moment. “Although, Uncle Zayn is beautiful too. But, still, you’re the most beautifulest.” She grins.
Louis’ heart clenches at that. Not because she just said he’s the most beautiful person in the world. But, because of the way she said it. Awfully similar to the other person who has the same green eyes as her. And the way she grins after that, identical.

Summary
“Harry, hi, I thought it was you,” Louis said as they came to a stop in front of him, Teddy by now sound asleep in his pushchair. “I hope I’m not holding you up?”
“Not at all,” Harry insisted, smiling down at Piper who was peering shyly up at the stranger in front of her. “I’m really glad we’ve seen you, actually. Pip, there’s someone I’d really love you to meet, sweetheart.”
Piper shuffled a little closer, clinging on to Harry’s shorts as he set a hand on her shoulder, willing her to relax. “Hello.”
“Hi!” Louis said, giving her a little wave, making Harry’s tummy flip over, loving how easy Louis seemed to be with his children. “I love your top. Sunflowers are my favourite.”
.•° ✿ °•.
Harry lives on his farm in the British countryside with his two children, loving the peace and quiet of his surroundings.

Summary
When Harry comes back to his hometown for the first time in a long time, he expects to almost drown in nostalgia and longing. What he does not expect, is his path crossing with his former best friend - Louis. It's been years since their goodbye and although most of the wounds have healed and the pain become dull, there is still a lot to unpack and process. They slowly find their way back to each other, talk through undiscussed emotions, and painful memories.
The tittle comes from "Skinny Dipping" by Sabrina Carpenter, which heavily inspired the plot and most of the first chapter.

Summary
"So let me get this straight. Am I going there to investigate or to be the bait?"
"Listen Louis, you are one of the best profilers. You know how to search and find clues where others fail, you are meticulous, stubborn and I trust you" Niall replied, almost reaching the limit of patience.
"And I'm gay" Louis added with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
The irony of fate.
"And you're gay" Niall repeated. "You are the perfect agent."
