Summary
They don’t talk about it. The way Harry deflects any and all questions about his past and Louis pretends he isn’t confused or hurt by it. The way Harry keeps a distance between them and Louis acts like he can’t see it creating a wall between them. The way Harry doesn’t always answer honestly and Louis goes along with it as if he can’t tell. They don’t talk about it.
Harry knows Louis feels like he doesn’t know him well enough, and it pains him. It pains him every time Louis gets that look on his face that’s a mixture of disappointment, frustration, and confusion. And sometimes, self-blame. It pains him because Louis is wrong.
Because even though there is a lot Louis doesn’t know about him, there is so much that he does. He knows what Harry is like at his most vulnerable: curled up on this bed with him in the dark where it’s safest. He knows Harry in a way no one else does.
-
Or the one where Harry, the deadliest member of the NYC assassins’ guild, is forced to face a seemingly impossible task in hopes of finally leaving the underground behind for good, but when ghosts from the past come back to haunt him, escaping the darkness becomes that much harder.

Summary
“I just… I loved it tonight. Being myself, wearing all this in front of the cameras. I know there’ll be people who hate it but I don’t care. I was me, Lou. I was Harry Styles for the first real time.”
“And you fucking smashed it, baby,” Louis grinned back, his hands around the small of Harry’s back now as he pressed in firmly, yanking them together as Harry stumbled, falling against Louis’ body.
~~~~~~
Harry heads home after the Met Gala to get ready for the After Party, but there's a surprise waiting for him...

Summary
“I’m Niall Horan,” he introduces himself and Harry grins, pretending he hasn’t known all along. “What’s your name?”
“I… I don’t know,” Harry says, his face flushing red when Louis throws his head back and lets out the loudest cackle.
“How do you not know what your name is?” he asks in between laughs.
“They…” he falters for a second and looks down, ashamed. “They gave me a name at the hospital; Harry. They said I had amnesia. There was nothing they could do about it.”✧・ﾟ:

Louis Tomlinson dived into the river to save his sister without a second thought to his own safety. When he almost drowned trying to save her, the after effects are severe. After a particularly bad panic attack, he is referred to a program in Australia, where he finds himself in the care of the prettiest boy he's ever seen.
Can they maintain the professional boundaries required to get Louis well again, or will their desire for each other be too hard to fight?- Language:

Summary
“Harry, I-I’m so sorry…” Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis’ soul, it’s so hard, nearly impossible.
That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself.
But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty “I’m so sorry” that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn’t at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it.

Summary
“Louis, wait.” Harry blurts out. Louis turns his head toward Harry expectantly. Harry’s heart races and he doesn’t know why. He’s never felt this nervous around someone before. He reaches for his wallet in his back pocket and pulls out a business card handing it over to Louis. Louis takes it in his hands and reads it before gazing back at him. “Um. Don’t hesitate to call me if you ever need anything.”
Louis nods in acknowledgment, a small smile curving on his lips. “Thank you, Harry.”
Harry returns the smile. “Have a good night.”
With that, Louis climbs out of the vehicle looking back once on his way to the front door and waving at Harry. He ignores the way his stomach flutters, and pulls out of the kerb to head home.
*
Harry feels immediately drawn to Louis when they meet for the first time. Unfortunately it's under sad circumstances that leave Louis as a single father. Before Harry can offer his support, Louis is gone just as soon as he'd come, but he leaves a lasting impression on Harry that he knows he'll never forget.
It isn't until a year later that they cross paths again and Louis changes Harry's life in ways he didn't expect.

Summary
He wants to keep walking, doesn't want to stop for even a second. Every second passing feels like a second he has missed, a second he hasn't used wisely for the one day he has as his current self. Not that it matters anyway, but it's one second closer to falling asleep, to forgetting everything again. One second closer to waking up the next morning, to the panic as he finds himself in an unfamiliar room, and one second closer to having to learn everything about his life again. One second too much.
Or the one in which Louis suffered from brain trauma, causing him to lose his short-term memory every morning. Featuring Niall as the one who stays, Liam as the one who understands, Zayn as the one who leaves, and Harry as the only one Louis really, really needs to remember.

Summary
"I think - there's something wrong. With Harry's memory," Louis says, and someone mutes the TV.
(or: Harry wakes up in a reality in which he and Louis are very much together. Which is pretty awesome. Or - it would be. If Harry could remember any of it).

Summary
Louis rubbed his head closing his eyes again for a moment. God damn this patient coming in and lying to his face. God damn him for being so hurt and scared and for crying. God damn him for being so beautiful and so broken.
He scratched his head before looking back up, scanning Harry’s face very carefully. He merely stared back at him, sniffling slightly before holding his hands up in a pleading gesture, his fingers crossed in a praying stance.
“Please, Dr. Tomlinson…” His voice cracked and Louis couldn’t help but sigh in distress. He shook his head, gritting his teeth as he struggled to remember his duties as a doctor. Harry whimpered softly and Louis knew more tears were falling without even having to look. He bit his lip, closing and opening his eyes one more time, staring Harry down.
“You and I both know that you didn’t get this hurt from falling down some stairs.”
or, Louis is a doctor. Harry is his patient.
