Summary
Harry loves Italy. He’s traveled his way around the world and back but this country is the one that captured his heart and deigned him its prisoner forever. And he doesn’t mind at all. Whether it be Tuscany or Campania or Lombardy, Harry finds something to love in every corner of it. Now, as he looks out at the waters of Venice’s Grand Canal, he’s falling for the way the sun reflects off of the water and the water itself rippling and hitting the ancient foundations of the imposing buildings. Leaning against the roof of the boat’s cabin, he closes his eyes and lets the warmth of the sun kiss his skin, truly tell him it’s June at last and summer has slowly crept back in. It’s bliss, and despite the whirring of the motor and the busy canal, Harry might as well have traveled back to the times of Casanova. Until a voice disrupts his dreaming.
“Darling, shall we go back to the hotel?”
Harry slowly opens his eyes, deeply breathing in through his nose as he does. For a few blissful moments, he forgot George existed. Those are now regrettably over.
OR- Harry's in Italy with his sugar daddy when he decides to get rid of him.

Summary
Every single breath he takes around Zayn is a lie. Harry’s entire being when he’s near Zayn is a fucking lie because Harry never wanted this to turn out like that. Harry never wanted to act like his heart wasn’t aching for the love that was taken away from him, for the person that he could share anything and everything with. His other half that had been with him for years and suddenly, there was just void instead.
OR: It's been three years since Harry saw Zayn. A chance encounter forces them to bring back memories they were trying so hard to forget. Will they fall down or manage to hold on this time?

Summary
Manhattan sometimes feels like a dreamt up place with its shining skyscrapers and rooftop bars. In the place that can take you to wonderland and hell simultaneously, Harry experiences love, frienship and other struggles that come with the brink of adulthood. But his world is different because there's an American Express Centurion Card in his wallet, the figurative silver spoon in his mouth and traces of white powder under nearly everyone's nose. That's Manhattan for him all thanks to his name.
An AU about finding yourself in the mids of an elitist society controlled by money, power and lies. All the conditions apply even when you're just a teenager.

Summary
Daisy scanned the light-blue fabric and nodded. “It's a good suit. You look nice.”
“Thanks, love,” Harry said. Then he sighed and leaned back in his chair. A long pause passed before he nearly made Daisy choke on her wine, “I think I'm gonna have a baby. Just me, on my own.”
Daisy coughed a few times, her hand on her chest as she looked at Harry with wide eyes. “Why on earth would you do that?”Written for the prompt - Harry, who has always enjoyed being everybody’s baby, is having a baby.

Summary
“Alright,” Harry blinks, walking away. He nearly trips over nothing as he walks backwards, watching Zayn crack an egg in one hand and drop the insides into the bowl. He gives Jeff a look once he turns around and regains his balance. The corners of his lips are pulling up in a smile. “What's so funny, Jeffrey?”
OR - A Bon Appétit AU where Harry's kind of Brad and Zayn's kind of Claire. The rose ring and sauerkraut also make an appearance.

Summary
Upon closer examination, Harry notices a paler ring of skin on his finger, as if he had a ring sitting there at all times, preventing the sun from tanning that skin. When he moves his eyes along his arm, he sees new tattoos that he doesn't remember getting, doesn't remember having. Harry's stomach drops down into the pits of hell when he sees two names tattooed in cursive on his left arm. One says Sadie and the other one Noah.
OR- Harry wakes up in a hospital, thinking his mates pulled a prank on him after his accident when Zayn says they're married with two children. He doesn't believe it, not until his own body tells him differently and a little girl comes running into the room, wanting to hug her daddy. And suddenly Harry isn't just about to graduate from uni in 2015, he's married with two kids in 2022.

Summary
Harry takes a moment to think. "There are gonna be those weird tiny spoons and forks, right?"
"Probably," Zayn shrugs.
"Fucking hell," Harry takes in a sharp breath. "I'm gonna look like a right dickhead, aren't I?"
"No, you're not," Zayn says adamantly and kisses Harry quickly. "You use them from the outside in. No fuss. You'll be fine and my parents will love you."
OR - Meeting his boyfriend's parents turns out a bit differently than Harry expected. He had no idea prior to the evening that they live in a manor house, among other things. And just like that, Harry feels like his life has turned into a shitty The Prince & Me sequel.

Summary
"Natalie?"
And there he is. When Harry lifts his eyes from Natalie, he's met with the partly bored, partly angry stare of Detective Malik or the man that has made the last few weeks of Harry's life a literal hell. If only he did his fucking job.
"I need to speak with you," Harry rushes in before Natalie has a chance to speak. He doesn't walk anywhere towards Detective Malik because he knows he could easily get arrested. It's a fucking police station still.
"You again," Detective Malik says, the arm with the files in his hand dropping down. "You really don't know what a 'no' means."
"I do but not in this situation," Harry shakes his head briefly. "I'm not letting this go."
"I know," Detective Malik cocks his head to the side. "We've all seen your video."
A year ago, Harry would've blushed. Now, he doesn't avert his gaze. All he says is, "Good."
OR - Harry is a popular true crime YouTuber, Zayn's a detective on the case Harry desperately wants to solve

Summary
"If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war."
― Leo Tolstoy, War and PeaceAll they ever wanted was to end the war. And they did. Peace was all that England had known for five years until a threat arose. Not in their kingdom but across the channel.
Most things start off easy, simple. They trickle in bit by bit so you almost don't even notice until they start to drown you. England is still enjoying peace but her Kings know that now they're knee-deep in bitter water.
It has been five years since Zayn and Harry had to unsheath their swords as the Kings of England and defend their Kingdom. Just when they thought they could live out the rest of their reign in peace, with their children never having to experience war, France starts to pose a threat to them. Will they manage to save England? Or will they fall victim to foolish ambitions of lesser men?

Summary
Covering his eyes with his left hand, Harry sighs, interrupting his mom. "Fine, I'll bring him over. But I'm not promising anything because he has a family too and he might want to be with them."
"Try your best, okay honey?" Anne chirps. "Then give me a call as soon as you know. Love you, sweetie. Good luck with exams."
"Love you," Harry replies numbly, before whispering a low "Fuck" once the line is dead.
Wonderful, truly wonderful. How is he going to find a boyfriend in two fucking weeks? This is karma, actual karma for lying about a boyfriend that doesn't exist. He learns about the inner workings of the human mind all day and then he goes and pulls this kinda shit himself. Christmas is either going to end up a disaster or smothered in more lies.OR - Harry needs a fake boyfriend for Christmas. Niall might have a suggestion that Harry won't really like. Enter Zayn with his dreamy eyes and a supernatural affinity to get families (including Harry's) to love him.

Summary
There was a time when these very streets were Zayn's favourite place in the world. Normally, he'd park his car in the driveway of the detached Georgian house near the end of one of many nearly identical streets just like he does now, check his email on his work phone, reply to anything that couldn't wait till the next day and put the work cell on "Do Not Disturb" before going inside and letting all stress and tension dissipate into thin air.
That was before.OR - Zayn and Harry are in the middle of their divorce when Halloween rolls around. Their daughters want to go trick-or-treating. Of course, neither of them can say no.
A bit Halloween-y. A bit bittersweet. A bit emotional.Series

Summary
Harry never feared the Gods. His mother would always scold him and remind him that he needs to respect the Gods if he doesn’t want to get in trouble with them. She would participate in the rituals for them, bring sacrifices ranging from flowers to live lambs but Harry never saw the point. There were legends, myths and stories about meeting Gods and summoning them. But that’s all they were - stories.

Summary
The oldest souls in the Kingdom of Wimborne would struggle to remember anyone brave enough to walk into the darkness of Larnwick forest. It has been always said only death and misery await for those who disrupt the eerie peacefulness of those tall pines and creatures who lurk in the shadows. There are legends, stories passed down from generations back, about knights and princes and peasants who were brave enough, or foolish enough, to attempt to explore the mystery that is the forest and hope they would live to tell the tale. None of them came back. Not a single soul.
OR - Zayn's a Prince who might be a bit too curious about what lies in a forest that is deemed cursed.

Summary
“You heard the realtor, they had this room locked and didn’t use it,” Zayn says and tries to kiss Harry’s cheek, but Harry pulls away, annoyed at the whole situation.

OR- Harry and Zayn move into a beautiful colonial home with their two children. After a few weeks of living there, they realize that black mold and asbestos might be the least of their problems with the house.
