Summary
“But I don’t belong here,” Louis insists.
“Why do you say that?” James asks.
“These people are all drug addicts and alcoholics,” Louis shrugs.
Something sparks in James’ eyes.
“And you’re not?”Louis has never felt like he was good enough: for his stepdad, for his life-long best friend, for the life he's supposed to want. After an accident that nearly costs him his life, Louis' parents send him to rehab where he’s forced to face his demons. On the long and difficult road to recovery, Louis must confront the truths he’s been avoiding about his future, his relationships, and his sense of self-worth. Because before he can love anyone else, he’s got to learn how to love himself first.

Summary
“What’s that on your finger?” Louis asks, his voice higher than usual, slightly panicked as though he’s realised something that Harry hasn’t even begun to comprehend.
Harry looks down on his right hand then, sees nothing and moves on to the left, and—
Oh.
A ring.
Or, Harry and Louis haven’t spoken since the band broke up when a dangerous combination of Niall Horan, tequila, and an ordained Elvis impersonator means that the two of them have to embark on their biggest publicity stunt to date - together.

Summary
Louis finds himself out of place in LA, unable to get at an itch that’s been bothering him for years. He supposes back in the early days, home hadn’t been a place. It’d been a person. He’d etched it permanently into his skin for fucks sake.
It was always him and Harry. Stuck to each other like super glue. Pulled together by some magnetic force, existing in their own bubble. Everyone could see it, but that was half the problem, wasn’t it?It’s not like Louis can pinpoint the exact moment in time when him and Harry fell out of sync. There wasn’t really one at all. It had been a gradual slip, like the tide wearing away at a sandstone cliff. Chipping the solid foundations until there was nothing left to stop the structure falling to the waves below. It’s not like he spends all of his time sitting around moping over a lost friendship, he’s good at distractions. But LA only seems to accentuate the distance between them. Two separate planets, not even in the same solar system.
Or the one where Harry and Louis finally get it right.

Summary
Slowly but surely, her only source of happiness becomes Harry.
They become closer than what's healthy for either of them. Harry has nightmares, so when Louis' not over, Helen sleeps in his small, cramped bed with him. He refuses to shower without her in the bathroom with him (“I'm scared you're going to leave me when I'm in there,” he confesses one night). They become one unit, never too far apart from one another. Helen even picks him up from school everyday for lunch because if she doesn't, Harry will throw himself in a full blown panic attack that not even Louis can fix, only her.
That's where things start to go bad. Harry becomes Helen's everything and more. She stops sleeping in Harry's bed just when he has nightmares and starts sleeping with him every night. He cuddles in close, always choosing to shove his cheek against her breast. Harry's sad, too, so he welcomes the extra affection. Until it becomes too much.
or,
From a young age, Harry was sexually abused by his mother, Helen. This is the aftermath.Bookmarked by origami33
