Summary
Complete at 42 chapters (for now at least).
Harry Styles is the most adored man in the world. Louis Tomlinson is pretending he doesn't care.
Years after their private implosion, a mandatory meeting to settle the band's remaining debt pulls them back into each other's orbit. What starts as lawyers and paperwork ends with Harry in Louis's bed and Louis remembering exactly why he spent a decade trying to forget.
Because some addictions you don't recover from. Some people you don't get over. And some promises are the only ones worth keeping.This is a story about two men learning that freedom isn't just financial. It's looking at the person who destroyed you and rebuilt you in equal measure, and choosing them anyway.
Content notes: Explicit sexual content. References to past substance abuse, industry exploitation, and closeting. Panic attacks and anxiety. Angst with a hard-won happy ending.
"You're the worst thing I've ever been addicted to, and the only one I never really wanted to quit."

Summary
"You broke up with him more than two years ago Lou, don't you think this has gone on too long?"
No. He couldn't just let him go. He couldn't end this painful cycle of remembering and longing but never having. "It's more complicated than that," he insisted, heart thumping painfully.
She raised an eyebrow. "You still sleep in his sweaters."
"They're comfortable!"
Yup, everything is fucking great.

Summary
Louis never wanted a soulmate, didn’t really care for the whole Bonding thing at all, really. Enter Harry Styles, who’s wanted to be Bonded for as long as he could remember. With one fateful meeting in an X Factor bathroom, Louis gets a dagger on his arm and the realization that just because Harry is his soulmate doesn’t mean it’s mutual.
From the X Factor house to Madison Square Garden, from the Fountain Studios stage to stadiums across the world, Louis has to learn to love without losing himself completely, because someday his best friend will Bond to someone and replace Louis as the center of his universe. Meanwhile, Harry begins to think that maybe fate doesn’t actually know what it’s doing after all, because his other half has clearly been right in front of him the whole time. All he has to do now is convince Louis to give them a chance.
Or, the canon compliant Harry and Louis love story from the very beginning, where the only difference is that the love between them is literally written on their skin, and there’s only so much they can hide.
