    Summary

    His eyes widened when he realized he had just somehow managed to ask Harry to hang out.

    Judging by Harry’s own expression, he wasn't the only one who was shocked. Louis expected him to laugh off the ridiculous request but the beta looked up at him, almost hopefully. “Are you being serious?”

    “Um,” was all Louis could say, feeling every bit as speechless as Harry had been earlier. “Are you?”

    Harry shrugged. “I’ve been told I need to get out more.”

    - or the one where Harry is a depressed and anxious beta who spends months at a time in bed, blowing off his band and fans, and remembering when he had something to live for. Enter Louis, the cute omega at his local coffee shop who shows him that maybe the very thing he has to live for is himself.

    Summary

    A low and dangerous growl was ripped from the future King’s chest.

    “Who the fuck do you think you are?” the alpha snarled, eyes dark and nostrils flared.

    Even as anger rushed through him at the alpha’s brutish display, Louis felt breathless at the intense gaze of the man that was going to be his future mate.

    ‘Tomorrow I’m going to be under all that. He will be inside me, all muscles and rage.’ Louis felt his cheeks heat again, but refused to be cowed. So he put his best smirk on display, the one alphas despised to see, the one that assured them all he had the upper hand.

    “Thought you were expecting me, dear husband. I’m your future mate.”

    Summary

    Louis’ spent eight years in this business and it’s cost him more than he can say. His love life, friendships, family relationships, optimism, trust in people, health, and even his happiness, on occasion.

    He’s always believed those losses to be worth it because this is what he’s good at. Louis is always one step ahead, always outmaneuvering the competition, always playing chess when everyone around him is playing checkers. Not since his first few years in the business has someone made a move that Louis didn’t anticipate well in advance.

    And yet.

    With that question, Senator Vines set a trap. The crowd watching knows it, the senators seated on either side of Senator Vines know it, and Louis, sitting there in his perfectly tailored suit and tie and poker face, also knows it.

    And he just walked right into it.

    Louis is a political lobbyist who chose his career over his personal life a long time ago and has never regretted it. Then he met Harry.

    Summary

    "What the fuck do you mean, they quit?" Louis asks.

    This man—demon, whatever—looks over at Louis with a withering glance before tossing the apple he's eating. It misses the trash can by about a foot, falling to the floor of Louis' kitchen and definitely leaving a sticky residue that he's going to have to clean up later.

    "You kept getting yourself into trouble and their afterlife experience became too stressful, so they quit. After the fifth guardian angel quit their post last week, there were no other volunteers, so that's where I stepped in. I was getting bored of welcoming souls into hell anyway...they're so goddamn whiney, I'm always like, bro, just shut the fuck up—"

    "So you're my guardian demon," Louis says flatly, cutting the demon/man/thing off before he can get any further.

    He smiles largely enough to show dimples, which seem like a completely inappropriate thing for a demon to have.

    "Exactly," the demon confirms.

    Summary

    “I don’t think I understood.” He shakes his head and closes his eyes, as if distancing himself from the situation. “Harry? What the fuck are you doing here?”

    “Your mum invited me, also, how could I say no to her superb roast potatoes?”


    Christmas AU where they broke up a month ago but Harry shows up at Louis’ childhood home for the holidays. Louis didn’t tell his mum about their breakup so staying with them is not ideal. Harry stays.
