    Summary

    "Fuck," Louis choked out against Harry's mouth, his chest heaving as the vanilla scent completely flooded his brain. "Fuck, I cannot stop..."

    He pressed another hard, bruising kiss to Harry's glossy lips, his mind spinning out of control. "I am not gay..." he muttered against Harry's skin, a desperate, fading lie as he kissed him again, his hands gripping Harry's bare thighs. "I am not..."

    Harry suddenly pulled back a fraction, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his green eyes completely dark and blown out as he looked down at Louis. "Louis..." he breathed, his voice trembling.

    "Fuck, H," Louis groaned, his forehead dropping heavily against Harry’s shoulder as he tried to catch his breath. "What are you doing to me? What the fuck are we doing?"

    "I don’t know," Harry whispered honestly, his long fingers tangling into the hair at the base of Louis's neck. He didn't wait for Louis to spiral; he leaned back down and kissed Louis again, soft and reassuring. Louis instantly kissed him back, completely helpless against the pull.

    Louis doesn't know he is gay until he get to know Harry

    Summary

    Harry Styles is an 18-year-old music student trying to survive. At home in Manchester, he lives with a violent, homophobic father who treats him differently whenever his mother and sister are out. Deeply depressed and closeted, Harry copes through self-harm, reckless partying, and music. The only peace he finds is at university: in the pool, where he’s joined the swimming team to stay away from home as much as possible, and with his best friend Niall.

    Louis Tomlinson is a 19-year-old energetic, cheeky business student and star striker on the university football team. He lives in a loud, loving (if chaotic) household with his mum, stepdad, and four younger sisters. Outgoing and fiercely caring, Louis is the type to make everyone laugh while quietly looking out for them.

    When Harry finishes swimming practice and Louis is heading in for football, their eyes meet in the locker room for the first time. The two of them ended up interacting and entering each other's world. As Louis gets closer to Harry, he begins to realize that the quiet, beautiful boy with the bracelets and sad eyes is carrying far more pain than he lets anyone see.

    Summary

    “What? Zayn and I literally never interact. What can he possibly have against me?”

    “That’s kind of the problem, Hazza,” Louis shrugs. “Zayn is my best mate, and you and he aren’t even on each other’s radars.”

    “Wait, does it bother you? That we ain't friends or something?” Harry asks, and he sounds genuinely puzzled.

    Louis narrows his eyes.

    “What do you think, Harry? You think it bloody bothers me that my best mate in the entire world, for whom I moved to a different fucking country, doesn’t like my boyfriend, presumably the love of my life? Nah, not even a bit,” he says sarcastically.

     

    or the one where louis and harry have been dating for three years, and they are happy together and in love. they are getting ready to move to england and build the future together.
    and then louis learns that harry has been keeping a secret from him for the past few months.

    Summary

    After agreeing to do community service at an orphanage for a school project, Louis must learn to face a life he wasn't prepared for, while Harry must learn the most terrifying lesson of all: he doesn't have to face it alone.

    They try to live and grow in a world that tried to break them before they even began.

    This story contains depictions of complex childhood trauma and abuse, substance use, homophobia, and explicit sexual content. It explores the darker, more visceral side of mental health and recovery. This is your trigger warning.

    Summary

    Louis is a dedicated journalism student, focused on his studies, his future, and keeping his world in control. But when the sudden death of the university dean shakes the campus, Louis feels a pull he can’t ignore, a need to investigate, to understand what no one else dares to question.

    Then there's Harry: mysterious, brilliant, and carrying more than he lets on. Their paths cross under tense circumstances, and what begins as mutual distrust slowly shifts into something neither of them saw coming.

    Set against the backdrop of university life, buried secrets, and complex relationships, this is a slow-burn story about truth, resilience, and the courage it takes to believe in someone... even when everything tells you not to.

    Summary

    Music was the reason Harry hadn't given up yet. The X Factor had shown him that there were good things in life, too; it had given him the band, the friends he’d never had, and the chance to make music professionally.
    Yet there was that one thing that haunted his dreams, the thing that got under his skin. That one thing his mind had been fighting against since day one. Harry had been raped by his father when he was young, and no one knew about it except Gemma. She had literally saved his life back then. Now, he wanted to put it all behind him once and for all and focus on the band and his new life, but the things we set our hearts on most don't always turn out the way we imagine.

    Summary

    In January, Louis writes a post on a Reddit thread at midnight. He is very clear about what he wants. He is very clear about when it ends. He has thought about this carefully and he means every word.

    This is the story of how none of that matters.

    Summary

    His suit was still just as immaculate as anyone else's, but he looked lived in.
    Slightly crooked tie, green eyes, awake somehow.
    Louis had noticed him immediately.

    Niall had laughed in Louis’ face when he’d first described him,

    “It’s physically impossible for a human to have eyes as green as that you know” he’d said, amused,

    But Louis had insisted, “Fucking emerald city green Niall, I’m telling you”.

    Summary

    Harry won’t survive another year of the posh, upscale, painfully out of touch Christmas parties his parents throw. Every December, he finds himself trapped with champagne flutes and designer smiles.

    Surrounded by people wealthy enough to think asking invasive questions counts as polite conversation. Like clock work, he endures endless reminders about his nonexistent love life and his less than impressive living situation.

    But this year? Harry has a plan.
    If his parents and their fancy little friends are so obsessed with his romantic prospects, why not bring his love life directly to them? There’s just one small problem. He doesn’t actually have one.

    ——

    Birthdays are something else entirely for Louis. They're less a celebration and more a reminder of everything he's lost and everything he keeps losing.

    So when he's offered the chance to spend the weekend instead pretending to be someone else, he takes it. Even if it means spending Christmas surrounded by a house full of stuck up snobs.

    After all, it's only a few days. What's the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox.

    Good afternoon,
    I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft.
    Thank you for your consideration.
    Best,
    Harry Styles

     

    Or the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.

    Summary

    When Harry meets Louis in a quiet corner of the library, he doesn’t expect the sharp-tongued, emotionally walled-up boy to become the center of his world, but he does. Louis doesn’t date. He doesn’t open up. And yet, somehow, Harry’s persistence, charm, and ridiculous kindness start to chip away at his carefully built defenses. Set against a backdrop of stolen glances, late-night texts, and not-dates that mean too much, Quiet, Please is a slow burn about learning to trust, choosing to feel, and falling for someone when you least expect it.

    Summary

    What starts as teasing and banter between best friends slowly spirals into something deeper when Louis and Harry cross a line neither of them can come back from. Between secret kisses, sneaking touches, and fumbling first times, they stumble their way through falling in love, all while trying (and failing) to keep it quiet from their mates, survive high school gossip, and deal with their families catching on far sooner than they’d like.

    It’s messy, it’s electric, it’s terrifyingly new… and it just might be everything they’ve been waiting for.

    Summary

    “You’re still here,” Harry said quietly.

    Louis shrugged. “I had time.”

    Harry stepped aside. “Okay.”

    They sat down, leaving a small distance between them. Harry’s hands were trembling.

    “I’m scared,” he said at last.

    “Of what?” Louis asked gently.

    “That they’ll only see me like this.”

    Louis answered without hesitation.

    “I still see you.“

    Summary

    Louis has never stopped loving Harry.
    Not through the hiding. Not through the contracts. Not through the years of being almost, nearly, soon.
    But after Liam’s funeral, something in him finally breaks.
    He is tired of grieving alone in public. Tired of standing beside Harry only when the doors are closed. Tired of being promised a future that always seems to move one step further away.
    Harry says they are almost there. One last tour. One last deal. One last performance before they can finally tell the truth.
    Louis wants to believe him.
    He really does.
    But the final lie is uglier than either of them expected, and as the pressure builds, the fake relationships deepen, and the world keeps watching the wrong story unfold, Louis and Harry are forced to ask themselves how much love can survive when it is always asked to wait.
    And what happens when the truth comes too late?

    Summary

    Post the 1D hiatus, Louis is lost and miserable. Turning to booze and careless encounters to fill the void, he's on a fool's mission, only getting emptier, more desperate as weeks turn to months.

    An unexpected encounter with Harry at a party of Niall's sees Louis hit the booze harder than ever, trying to blunt the feelings, the anxiety which that brings, revealing to Harry (and others) the brutal truth of Louis' new reality.

    As Louis circles the drain, the addiction owning him, Harry offers him a lifeline. But can he have the courage to take it? Can he beat his demons? Can there be anything left with Harry? A friendship? A saviour? A lover? Surely not all three...
