Summary
Louis and Harry have a simple arrangement, born out of hometown boredom. They hookup every year, once a year, on Louis' birthday, and then pretend the other doesn’t exist as they live their lives on opposite sides of the country.
They aren't friends, in fact, they hardly know each other. It's completely manageable until they discover, post-grad, that they've moved to the same city.

Summary
Harry Styles was a world-class marathon runner - until a car crash shattered his leg, his future, and any will to keep going.
Louis is a physiotherapist working with elite footballers, and Gemma Styles’ last hope. She’s paying him well to move in with her brother for the off-season. It’s temporary. It’s clinical.
Harry hates him. Louis isn’t thrilled either. But he’s not easily pushed away. He wasn’t prepared for the anger, the walls, or the grief - but he stays.
And slowly, painfully, they stop being strangers. Then they stop being enemies and become something like friends. Or something else entirely.
It’s slow. It’s brutal. It’s not what either of them expected.
But maybe, just maybe, this time… Harry’s ready to run.- Language:

Summary
When Harry Styles was accepted into a post-grad degree, he knew he could no longer afford his flat, leaving him with three options:
1) Move back into student halls.
2) Become homeless.
3) Move in with his best (and only) friend, Niall, and three of Niall's other mates.
He went with the third option. But it was a close race.
Shame one of his roommates reminded him why he only has one friend.
If there is one thing Louis Tomlinson can't stand, it's pretentious tossers, having grown up around enough of them. If there is one thing he can't live without, it would be his friends. So he was proper thrilled to move in with his best mates and a couple of other lads.
That was until he discovered one of them was the archetype for a pretentious tosser.In the interest of seeing out the twelve-month lease without killing each other, they both try (debatable) to get along despite believing they are opposite in almost every conceivable way, each having the communication skills of a cucumber, and secrets that have no business be kept secret.
