Summary
“No, Harry, you don’t get it. Like, I can hear you.”
When he notices Harry’s disbelieving expression, Louis takes a shuddering breath before continuing. “I don't know how else to explain it. I can hear every breath you take, every song you sing along to, every sweet thing you mumble when no one is around, every sigh, every gasp, every moan…” Louis rubs his eyes with the palms of his hands. “It’s like my senses are heightened to the max, but only when it comes to you.”
-
When Louis, a gorgeous alpha, moves into the flat next door, Harry's attention is immediately piqued. However, after a misplaced noise complaint and a series of interactions with the man that inspire a litany of fantasies, Harry soon realizes his attraction goes far deeper than he had initially assumed.

After a string of unlucky events, Louis finds himself forced to bring his sharp financial acumen to Harmonia, a beauty and apparel brand known for its whimsical aesthetics but hurt by its inability to make a profit in all its years of operation.

Summary
“I know,” Louis mutters, ghosting his mouth over Harry’s pulse point, “that if you’d stop wasting your time with him, if you’d just let me… I could show you so many things. I could change everything for you. There are ways in which you could be seduced that you haven’t even dreamed of, angel.”
At that, Harry breaks.

Summary
“You’re a fucking brat, you know that,” Harry muttered through clenched teeth, bones already burning with the pure desire and hatred mixing in his body. It was an intoxicating rush of adrenaline and something else that probably came with fucking Louis Tomlinson. He squeezed his neck just a little tighter. “I can’t stand it.”
Their lips were brushing against each other, just moving with the ragged movements of their mouths and harsh breathing.
“You’re a lying piece of shit dickhead,” Louis muttered right back. That was all he did, challenge and nag. He loved to have the last word and Harry let him because he used all his energy to fuck him mindless.

Summary
Louis Tomlinson is going to be the journalistic voice of his generation. He’s just waiting for his editor to realize it. For now, he’s stuck writing fluff pieces for the Life and Style section of London Now Newspaper.
His latest assignment is more of the same rubbish: a profile of Harry Styles, plastic surgeon and one of London’s most eligible bachelors. Louis is intent on writing something smart and biting and unexpected; if it makes Harry look like an idiot, that’s just the price of good journalism. That is, until Louis gets to know Harry and realizes he might be kind of perfect.
Featuring Louis as a writer/workaholic, Harry as a plastic surgeon with a heart of gold, Zayn and Niall as Louis’ colleagues and long-suffering best mates, and Liam as everyone’s favorite pediatric surgeon and Harry’s right-hand man.

Summary
Three years have passed since Louis last saw him, but all it took was a few minutes in Harry’s presence for him to be relegated to the desperate twenty-one year old that was practically begging his boyfriend for an ounce of reassurance that he still cared about him.
Harry shouldn’t be here. He’s brought too many unresolved feelings with him, that Louis thought he’d never have to face.
It’s Harry’s apparent apathy that’s the most difficult to come to terms with. Anger, he could handle. Regret, he would welcome. But Harry’s amiability, and carefree demeanor can only be born from indifference.
He’s moved on. He doesn’t care. And that is something Louis doesn’t think he’ll ever be strong enough to face.
-
OR - The worst heartbreak of Louis’ life walks right back into it when his parents invite their family friends on an all-expenses-paid trip for their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Facing a past that he tried to bury long ago, Louis learns that some people have a way of sticking with you even when they’re gone.

Summary
Harry’s father had warned him.
King Edward of Erendor had whispered his suspicions that Prince Louis of Blackmont was descended from the sirens, monsters from cautionary tales Harry was told as a child. A cruel, cold-hearted, and vicious nature wreathed in a breathtaking exterior, with coy smirks and slow blinks used to bend everyone to his will. His beauty was as well known as his cunning, his greed, and his ruthless grab for power.
Time only proved the rumors to be true, and Harry made sure to keep his distance from the prince, never once speaking to him, and doing his best not to even meet his eye.
Unfortunately, the ghosts of whispered warnings are powerless when one is up against the very tangible experience of being in Prince Louis’ presence.
—
OR - Harry and Louis’ kingdoms have rivaled one another for ages. When the time comes for Prince Louis to choose a mate, Harry’s father puts him in the running for his hand. But Harry has no intentions of marrying the omega. He is only using the opportunity to investigate and expose Louis’ sordid past, where rumors of fornication and murder abound, and bring justice down on his rival once and for all.

Summary
“I just think if we’re both into it and neither of us is looking for something serious, why not?” Harry asks, eyes soft and voice sweet. He pauses and gives Louis a moment or two to answer.
There are countless reasons why Louis shouldn’t agree to this, but in the end, none of them really matter. This will end with Louis in pieces, but he’s been in love with Harry for four years. There was only ever one answer.
“Yeah,” Louis answers finally, hoping his voice sounds normal. “Why not?”
AU in which Louis hates his job and loves Harry, Harry just wants a distraction, everyone else wants them to get their shit together, and Louis learns the hard way that new beginnings are only possible when something ends.

Summary
“Men like you, always treating us like we are here to give you everything you want when you ask. Jump when you say jump, bark when you tell us to bark—”
Lucas pulls on the tie that is loosened around Eliott’s neck and wraps the silken fabric around his fingers. He straddles the taller brunette, hovering over his thick thighs, refusing to sit down because from this position he gets to look down at the other. The view is nice. Lucas smiles, leaning close enough to feel Eliott’s breath on his lips, close enough to count the individual lashes that frame stormy eyes.
He can see the way his pupils dilate, the way those eyes grow hooded with want.
“—how ‘bout we try that one again.” Lucas demands, voice growing soft.
—or—
Lucas owns an old shop that sells the finest hand tailored suits. Suits that cost hundreds and thousands of dollars. Priceless. One day Eliott, a mafia boss, stumbles across this shop and meets Lucas. Their lives become irrevocably entangled. This might or might not be a good thing. Blood is spilled and lives are destroyed but in the end, they have each other after the carnage settles. Right?

Summary
Lucas grins wide, his lips crack from lack of use. “I feel whole.” Again. And he never wants to let that go. He won’t. Never again. Lucas wants to bend down and kiss Eliott. The very fact that he sits a head taller than Eliott in this very moment; it leaves him thinking it is the best time to reacquaint himself with Eliott’s taste. His touch.
But Yann coughs and the moment is broken.
-or-
Lucas is sick. And his friends are so supportive. So reckless. Everything is worth it. Everything.

Summary
Cosmic eyes soft as he looked at the both of them. A cupid. The best of the best, Eliott Demaury was known for crafting soulmates with his love.
"Everything okay over here?" Eliott looks from Emma back to Lucas.
"Everything is fine—Emma's fine. She saw one of the cases I cracked and is here to… tell me what a wonderful job I did with tearing love apart." Lucas grumbles under his breath but knows the other two can hear him.
--or--
Eliott creates love as a Cupid, Lucas destroys it as an Unraveler.
How on earth are they supposed to find love with each other when they both stand at such opposite ends of the spectrum. Or do they? Maybe they are one in the same?Bookmarked by steeldaffodils

Summary
in the process of editing and adding, sorry if you got an update notif
Lucas knows his body was made for hands to hold. Who is to hold him is a different topic of discussion...
Her hands were a gentle breeze that blew and caressed his hair. When his mother dots him with this type of love, her hands make him feel content.
Yann's hands...they were safe, a shield from the harsh world outside of his hold. Lucas let himself fold and settle into the hands that protected him.
" So...you think my hands are sexy, yeah?"
Lucas doesn't even think of how he did not look at Eliott's hands...not even once during their interaction...

Summary
"No. No weddings for me. I'm never getting married." Because there is no point in marrying someone who isn't the one that has your heart. He ignores the pointed look that Yann sends his way. He excuses himself and heads back in, towards the bar. One more drink he promises himself. Then he'll head home.
--or--
Lucas is getting tired of all the wedding talk. All his friends are getting married. Where does that leave him.
