What they want is a fake relationship with Harry and Louis at the centre of it, to lure out the stalker.

Then, he meets Harry.

Summary
The scent of salt on the breeze, the fog, the chill and the autumn.
The laughter, the lobsters, the murmur of the sea.
The glow of a lighthouse.
A wistful song sung in a pub.
The liquor, the night, the crack of a bat striking the ball.
The voice of a grandfather with countless tales to share
***
According to some legends, the sea is the home of everything we have lost, of what we never had, of broken wishes, of sorrows, of the tears we’ve shed.
I wonder if, down there among the waves, in all that blue, my forgotten heart is there too -HarryBookmarked by Darling28

Summary
It’s Harry’s first holiday season since he opened the little bakery at Astor Square and according to his best friend Zayn, he is hopelessly unprepared. With the start of the local Christmas market right around the corner and an already hectic schedule, Harry really can’t afford to get distracted.
Then again, neither can Louis, who is in the middle of directing rehearsals for a winter musical with his drama class and promised his colleague Niall that he’d focus all of his energy on the musical.
But you know what they say: promises are like pie crusts — made to be broken.

Summary
"I'm not pretending," Louis spits out. "I care about Mina. Unlike you."
He tries to hold eye contact, but holy fuck , Harry’s blown-out pupils make it nearly impossible. It was almost frightening.
"Really?" Harry challenges. "You're not?"
"No."
"No?"
The slam of Harry's hand against the doorframe sends Louis' heart right to his throat.
"Then why do you keep looking at me like that?"
His eyes snap to where Harry's arm meets the side of his head, realizing he's caged him in completely.
"Like what?" He swallows.
Harry grins.
"Like you're trying really fucking hard not to."-or-
Louis knows his place: serving at The KettlePot, nodding along to Mina's plans for his future, and never questioning why none of this feels quite right. Then he meets her insufferable, arrogant, mate Harry. He should hate him. He does hate him. But hatred isn't supposed to feel like this. As Louis finds himself drawn deeper into Harry's chaos, he learns some lies are easier to maintain than others, especially the ones he's telling himself.- Language:

Summary
The kneeling girl turns her head, just slightly, just enough that Louis can see her face in profile. His eyes narrow, zooming in as far as the lens allows. She hesitates, the smallest flinch in the way her hand falters in the other’s grip, like something inside her is pulling away from the ritual.
Louis swallows, lowering the camera for half a second to blink, because what he sees can’t be right.
Not the white, glazed eyes like the others. Not vacant or empty. But sharp, alive, green.
Striking green.
His breath stutters. He knows those eyes. He’s traced every shade of them in memory, dreamed of them, stared too long across teacups and candlelight.
or, the one where Louis arrives in a small town to photograph the Hare Girls, for his new series about the uncanny. What he doesn't anticipate, is being pulled into the town's mysteries, and into the orbit of Harry, the sweet tea room owner who seems to be connected to it all.

“Are you alright?” He hears Harry ask again, maybe even sounding alarmed now. But all Louis can see is red.
“I’m just,” He gasps, his voice breaking, incapable of even blinking away from the target. “So thirsty.”

After the sudden loss of his mother, Louis finds himself struggling to keep afloat. Grief-stricken and emotionally withdrawn, he reluctantly agrees to join an anonymous letter-writing program meant to help young adults process their pain through words.
What begins as a reluctant exchange with a stranger named Orpheus soon becomes something more — a lifeline, a mirror, a connection deeper than Louis thought possible.
Then comes Rome. A new city, a shared room, and Harry — distant, difficult, and impossible to ignore. Between tense silences, quiet glances, and unresolved tension, Louis feels himself pulled in two directions: toward the anonymous voice that understands his soul… and the roommate who slowly begins to unravel him.
A story of grief, healing, intimacy, and the tangled ways we come to know — and love — one another.

Summary
When Louis shut his front door behind him and turned the corner he was stunned to find a boy standing naked in the middle of his lounge.
His hair was curly and longer than his shoulders, his eyes wide and wet, brimming with tears but a piercing green. He was standing somewhat without shame, like he didn’t know he was bare, and he was fully locked in on Louis.
Before Louis could do anything he watched him positively crumple, almost comic if it weren’t so devastating, the way his limbs folded in on one another like they were nothing more than soft, rippling fabric.
Louis looked down for a few moments, completely puzzled, before eyeing a faint red mark around the top of his thigh. It was scar tissue, jagged, but long healed over.
It was at that moment Louis knew.
He stepped away without another word.

Summary
Harry Styles is in the middle of a whirlwind tour when he gets dumped by his boyfriend of six years. Reeling and surrounded by chaos and a handful of meddling friends, the last thing Harry expects is to be wooed by a foul-mouthed football star who happens to be the king of Manchester's - possibly the whole of England's - hearts.
Louis Tomlinson is vying for a spot on England's World Cup roster for the first time in his career. It would be a hell of a lot easier to focus on football if every journalist wasn't asking him why he was at a popstar's concert in the midst of training. All Louis wants is a World Cup win. He ends up with a whole lot more.
[or: Harry's fresh off a break up when the media starts shoving a romance that does not exist down his throat, and the throats of everyone in the entire world. When he starts chatting with the footballer stuck in the middle of all this with him, Harry ends up experiencing something he'd never anticipated, and certainly had never felt before]

Summary
Harry
________Fraternities were meant for Alphas. Well, okay, alphas and the occasional beta. But there was certainly no place for an omega. Unfortunately, another fraternity at Oxford University didn’t seem to agree. Which meant Louis Tomlinson was free to slip into the fraternity world and foolishly pretend to ignore his omega status unless it gave him an advantage.
It was dangerous, irresponsible and grinded Harry’s gears like the molars he’d sanded just by gritting his teeth about the problem alone. But Fraternities weren’t the only thing Louis was ruining for the alpha. Apparently, he was only just getting started.
Louis
_______That alpha can suck his own knot for all Louis cares.
Louis’ determined to write his own history. He gives no fuck about Harry Styles’ opinion. He can take his pretty little face and use it for sweet-talking all the other naive omega’s he wants to. Louis won’t be barking up that tree any longer. He promised himself he was done with that shit.
______________________
Little did they know, that previous agreement they’d made, was all about to change.

Summary
Under pressure from his controlling father to secure a bond and save the family’s political image, Louis turns to a sugar baby app and finds Harry—an omega with a razor-sharp tongue and no tolerance for alphas, but who could really use the money. Their bond is supposed to be nothing more than a business transaction, but as their worlds collide, a bond meant for convenience threatens to become something far messier—and far more real.

This is the extraordinarily ordinary AU where Harry falls in love for the first time and Louis learns how to fall in love all over again.
