Summary
“We are together now,” Louis whispers. “Nothing will separate us again.”
With Louis warm against him, eyes shining brightly, lips red and begging to be kissed, Harry believes him unquestionably.
As they fall into one another, Harry and Louis forget the concerns that monopolize the realm. They forget everything that isn’t greedy hands, hungry mouths, and words of love. They forget that they have no right to one another – not when they’re in the king’s palace.
Or, a Tudor AU where Harry and Louis are young and betrothed lords in Henry VIII’s court, but when Harry catches the king’s eye, their future becomes as unsteady as England without a male heir.

Summary
“I see you here every day, and I never hear you play a song of your own. It’s good; why don’t you play it in the daytime?”
Louis looks back at him and quirks an eyebrow. “People want to hear songs they know, songs they can dance to,” he explains, slightly annoyed. “They don’t want to hear stuff like that. I wouldn’t make any money if I played my own songs. They wouldn’t listen.”
The man looks pointedly at Louis. “I listened.”
Or, a Once AU where Louis is a brokenhearted street musician and Harry is a feisty yet captivating pianist who shows him that it’s never too late for a second chance.

Summary
Harry remembers the first ever Pride he and Louis went to together. They’d been in a relationship for eight months, and Harry had never felt so in love. He had clung to Louis like an anchor on a ship, kissing him whenever we wanted (which turned out to be incredibly frequently).
As Harry looks at Louis, he knows that Louis is thinking the same thing.
“Happy Pride, love,” Louis says softly, just for him.
“Happy Pride,” Harry replies, meeting Louis halfway for a sweet kiss.
Or, Harry, Louis, and their family attend London Pride.

Summary
“As forward as I have been with you this evening, I am also aware this dinner party isn’t the place to conduct business.” Mr. Tomlinson chuckles quietly to himself, shooting a subtle glance across the table towards their hostess. “And besides, I am sure our hostess would be horribly disappointed to learn that we went away this evening with a business agreement and not a mating one.”
Harry, who had been sipping his wine, coughs harshly at this. He splutters, unaccustomed to such blatant statements about mating.
Mr. Tomlinson continues to laugh quietly, clearly pleased at Harry’s reaction.
“Mrs. Humphreys promised that there was an alpha attending the dinner tonight that I would certainly get on well with,” Mr. Tomlinson continues, voice teasing. “She assured me that we would have much in common since we both work with mills.” Mr. Tomlinson glances at Harry, eyes flashing with mirth. “Little did she know that would be where our mutual interests began and ended.”
Or, a Victorian ABO where Harry is the owner of the most successful cotton mill in Manchester, and Louis is an opinionated social activist about to disrupt Harry’s world.

Summary
Harry just can't be around Louis when he's flirting outrageously with Chad Michael Murray. So what if he's the star of one of the country's most popular shows? Harry's seen an episode or two and it's not that great. Sure, the drama is exciting and all the actors are attractive and it’s shot in his hometown, but still. Not that great. Certainly not great enough for Louis to fall over himself every time Chad enters the coffee shop.
Harry doesn’t want to watch the over-the-top spectacle, which is why he usually retreats.
And besides, it hurts to see the boy he’s in love with flirting with someone else.
Or, Harry and Louis work in a coffeehouse on a film studios lot, and Harry wishes Louis would pay half as much attention to him as he does the famous actors.

Summary
Harry and Louis had fallen into bed together again that night, mouths greedy and hands needy. And now every time Louis stops at Fort Kearney, even if it’s weeks in between, he and Harry spend the night together. The nights are always filled with heat and passion, and it gives Louis something to think on fondly as he rides across the western territories carrying sacks of mail.
They’ve never talked about it, and they’ve never kissed. Louis doesn’t know if he wants either of those things to change, but he knows that his presence in Harry’s life is sporadic at best. Probably best to leave things be.
Or, Louis is a Pony Express rider and Harry runs a station along the trail.

“It wasn’t an easy decision, if I’m honest,” Harry admits, shoulders sagging in on himself. “Moving is really difficult. My whole life was in Manchester. But Manchester didn’t want me. Leeds did.”

Louis glances up at him through his eyelashes, a slow smirk spreading across his face. Harry clicks away with his camera, his heart quickening at the sight of Louis looking so mischievous. “Who says I do?”

Summary
“Personally you’re not into it?”
Louis glances up, cigarette dangling from his lips as he sits on the balcony of their New York penthouse. Harry stands in the doorway, leaning casually against the frame, a smirk on his lips.
“They asked if you liked being tied up and choked, and you said that personally, you’re not into it?”
“What was I supposed to say, H?” Louis asks, feigning annoyance. He sucks on the cigarette, letting the smoke fill his lungs before exhaling. “‘Oh yeah, me and my boyfriend absolutely love it. His birthday is on Wednesday and I got him a new diamond-encrusted collar’?”

Summary
“What the fuck are you doing?”
From where he’s sitting on the floor, Harry chooses not to answer. Instead, he continues laying out old newspapers around him. He layers them so they completely cover the carpet, leaving no space for anything to stain.
“Harry,” Louis’ voice comes again. “What are you doing?”
“I’m getting ready to carve a pumpkin,” Harry replies simply, still not looking at Louis.
“But…why?”

“Babe, all I’ve been doing the past two months is write songs,” Louis admits. He leans up and places a quick kiss on Harry’s mouth. “And besides, every song I write is for you.”
Or, Harry and Louis play the songs they wrote for one another.
