Summary
“You’re kind of like my after.”
“Really? How?”
“Well, for one thing, you’re helping me extensively with maths. Also, I’ve never made out with a boy before you.”

Summary
Paul has seen a lot and experienced more than these boys ever will. He had killed a bear with only nearly his bare hands, fought a whole gang of drug dealers by himself and saved dozens of lives. But this boy, 150 pounds of skin and bones, looks like the spitting image of his way towards a downward spiral.
or the one where Louis makes Paul's life miserable and Liam is always here to save the day

Summary
The first time Calum walks (scampers) through the front door and into Michael’s life, he is a furry bundle of energy, dashing around his new home and sniffing like there’s no tomorrow, yapping excitedly at almost every inanimate object he encounters.
Michael doesn’t quite know what to make of it.
(basically: kitten!Michael and puppy!Calum)

Summary
“You were always so… bent on getting out of Sydney. And it kind of hurt me, I guess, because I was just okay with staying and doing nothing but you had big dreams. It was cool seeing you so happy talking about what could be – like that time we got so drunk, we ended up lying on the gravel at the playground, and you were ranting on and on about making it out there like this small kid and it was great listening to you but.
But then I always think, ‘isn’t this enough?’ I never asked, obviously. I’d be happy if you were happy. And seeing you now, I’m thinking, maybe you’re okay. And I’m okay with that.”
(or, Calum meets an old friend years after he abandoned Sydney for gloomy, rainy London.)

Summary
Ashton's the friendly neighbourhood kid who goes around giving embarrassingly giant fruit baskets made by his mum to new people in town so of course Liz knows him. With his charming little grin and the mop of golden brown curls on his head (she calls him 'cherub boy'), he's pretty hard to miss.
But what she doesn't know is that her son Luke sees him a lot more often than just on the usual paper route he does on Sunday mornings.

Summary
Thousands of miles apart, with only ten seconds to a brand new year.
He wants to hold out for another 365 days of LukeandMichael, but as the winter chill creeps into the narrow opening of his sleeves, past his already long-numbed hands and travelling up to his forearms, he feels the loneliest he’s ever been and the possibility of it seems far, far,
far away.
(or, Luke tries to cope with Michael potentially not feeling the same way Luke does about him.)

Summary
Ashton’s constant state of mobility isn't necessarily bad, though it is some of the time, because Ashton’s just such a livewire and is always up and about even when Michael’s trying to have a peaceful day in. He’ll always find a way to rouse Michael out of his inanimate state somehow, poking his cheek and insisting that, “It’s a beautiful day outside, and we should make the best of it,” when all Michael’s thinking is, “No, the sun is out and I’d rather lie about in the house than get burnt alive by Sydney’s bitchy weather."

Summary
Typically in real life scenarios, one does not simply trip over air, break their glasses, and as a result get to talk to a certain cute guy working at the university library. Because really, that sort of thing only happens in movies and chic lit novels, right?
Well, in Luke's spectacularly mundane and seemingly boring life, it happens anyway.

Summary
They’d always been touchy-feely with each other - cuddling was no big deal, after long days enduring classes they’d always ended up asleep with their long limbs tangled up in each other, shirts unbuttoned and neckties cast aside. They had kissed once before, but it was only when someone had sneaked in a Firewhiskey that had gotten both of them incredibly drunk. But this. This was a whole new territory.
(or in which sex ends up not being casual and mindless with zero emotional attachment.)

Summary
The thing about Calum is, Luke notices, is that he's something like a supernova against the blur of the people in the background, standing out with his big smile and his even bigger presence. Niall's a lot like that, too - the two of them occupy a space and make the room seem larger with just them standing and talking and being their shameless, impulsive, even sometimes borderline crude selves. They laugh aloud, possibly aware of their power over the entire room, their ability to make all eyes snap into their direction with just one word uttered.
It soon occurs to Luke why Ashton had said that Calum was "a little bit out of his league".

Summary
“What if we actually had the chance to remember something that we’ve never actually experienced?”
Liam's usually sober, but this time he's got too much of alcohol in his system and is suffering a terrible hangover. Luckily, there's a soothing voice to numb his pain and blur out the fine line between fiction and reality.

Summary
“Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, Zayn thinks sourly, for the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistible urge to commit murder, and an inferiority complex. Yippee.”
