    Summary

    After finishing a less successful tour, Harry finds himself struggling with alcohol, drugs, and casual sex. He intends to clean up his act and enter rehab - just not yet. Then he meets the enigmatic Louis, whose looks and charm cut straight through Harry's numbness. But Louis proves to be a tougher challenge than Harry’s usual hookups. As Harry grapples with his growing attraction - and the sting of rejection - he realises he must confront his fear of feeling again.

    “I obviously want you for more than just one night."
    “You see…” Louis shifts his weight from one foot to the other. “…that’s where I still hesitate.”
    “I want you so much, Louis."
    “You want to sleep with me. I’m not sure you can handle the thought of not having done that yet. Or the one of being rejected.” Louis says, his voice neither challenging nor harsh - just probing.
    “No. It’s more than that.” Harry’s voice is quiet but firm.
    “What makes this any different from the endless hookups you’ve had all year?”
    “Everything.” Harry whispers with such sincerity that he almost cringes at himself, yet he has never meant it more in his life.

    Summary

    When Louis' car breaks down, he's forced to take the bus to university every day. Little does he know that he will fall for the shy and sometimes overwhelmed curly boy who is always reading at the bus stop. The 43 turns out to be the best thing that happens to them...or is it each other?

    or,
    the one where Harry carries a journal everywhere, reads all the time and falls for the blue-eyed boy at the bus stop.

    Summary

    It started out jokingly, the whole ‘I can’t stand you living here’ thing. It was funny because there was a kernel of truth there; it wasn’t meant to stop being funny altogether, but they’re teetering on the edge of it these days, getting dangerously close to the point of no return. It’s not the gum wrappers, the long dark hairs, the old white man music, the dish rinsing fetish, or the random nudity that he tries to pass off as quirky free-spiritedness when, really, he just gets a twisted thrill out of parading that big dick around. It’s the combination of all of it, and the fact that it’s here, every single day, every single time Louis gets up to go for a piss or get himself a cup of tea in his own fucking kitchen.

    If Harry wasn’t just as stubborn as Louis, if he didn’t get that twinkle in his eye every time he sparked a reaction, maybe his faults could’ve been forgiven. But Harry’s a fucking cunt, just like Louis, so here they are.

    --

    Harry's been kicked out of his old flat and therefore moved into Louis, Niall, Zayn and Liam's shared flat. Being in each others space all the time drives them both insane, among other things.

    Summary

    “This was a pleasure, ladies. I’ll see you tomorrow,” Louis says. He then turns to Harry and gives him a smile. “I’ll see you tomorrow too, kitten.”

    Harry is stuck staring at the door where Louis just disappeared through.

    “Did he say…” Harry starts.

    “Kitten,” Florence says with a nod. “Harry…”

    “No, it’s just a fluke. It doesn’t mean anything,” Harry says firmly.

     

    Or a world where the nickname your soulmate will call you appears on your chest on your 18th birthday and Harry wakes up with the only name he hates.

    Summary

    At last, she looked back at me, and her eyes were utterly woeful, her lips set in a straight line and her eyebrows downwards. “August…” was all she’d said, and it was just above a whisper—I had to read her lips over the loud music. It seemed like she’d been about to add an “I’m so sorry,” but her tone had already done that for her.

    My stomach dropped. For some reason, I just knew. Suddenly, I was next to her by the window, the liquid in my cup splashing on my hand with my fast movements.

    I saw him in a matter of seconds.

     

    august meets james. august falls in love with james. august loses james.
