Summary
"Don’t you think I deserve the chance to defend myself now though? To regain my pride?”
“What?” Harry scrunches his face up in confusion. “Like, you wanna fight?”
Blue Eyes raises his eyebrows at that and lets out a laugh. It sounds sort of wonderful, like being wrapped in soft blankets.
“Are you kidding? You’re about twice my size.”
“Not really,” Harry mumbles in protest, but the skater talks right over him.
“I think we should race.”
“Race?”
“Yeah, strap on a pair of skates and let’s go.”- Language:

Summary
Seven years ago, Harry chased a dream, leaving behind his home and everyone in it. Including Louis, his best friend and quite possibly, the love of his life. When he's brought back to perform a charity concert for his old high school's Arts program, he realizes not much has really changed, including his feelings. This town is still achingly familiar, his mom still gives the warmest hugs, and Louis still makes his heart feel shimmery around the edges.

Summary
"We know you're still in love with Harry."
Louis' nostrils flared up. "I'm not—"
"Louis."
"I'm not!"
there are many things louis likes to tell himself. we broke up for a reason. it's been so many years. and of course, the classic: i’ve definitely moved on from him. but when he suddenly finds harry back in his life after three years, louis realizes he might be a little less moved on than he thought.
au; spilling coffee onto an ex, being set up on dates, and having a nosy puppy might be all louis needs to find love again

Summary
It’s Harry’s first holiday season since he opened the little bakery at Astor Square and according to his best friend Zayn, he is hopelessly unprepared. With the start of the local Christmas market right around the corner and an already hectic schedule, Harry really can’t afford to get distracted.
Then again, neither can Louis, who is in the middle of directing rehearsals for a winter musical with his drama class and promised his colleague Niall that he’d focus all of his energy on the musical.
But you know what they say: promises are like pie crusts — made to be broken.

Summary
Louis and Harry have been friends for years, their friendship maturing easily from pups to teenagers to adults. By now, Louis is used to what he feels around Harry, the way warmth always spreads through his tummy when his best friend is near, the need to protect him, and the way he's more attuned to Harry than anyone else. He's also used to pushing his inner alpha down and denying the feelings he has for Harry because they don't make sense. But what if acting on instinct and finally listening to his inner alpha is the key that opens the door to the happiness that he never thought was possible?

Summary
“You should just move in.” Louis froze, eyes wide, heart kicking in his chest as Harry paused and looked up, looking at Louis warily.
“Really?” Harry whispered and Louis clasped his hands together to hide his shaking fingers.
“I mean, you’re here anyway … I just … yeah?” Louis finished weakly, and a few seconds passed in agonising silence until a shockingly bright smile stretched across Harry’s face.
***
When Eleanor breaks up with Louis he finds it hard to keep pretending that Harry isn’t what he’s wanted since the day he first met him.

Summary
The low rumble of the kettle boiling sounds just as the person shifts his broad shoulders around to face Louis, his scent hitting the omega like a hurricane wind, knocking his heart into his stomach. Cedarwood and bergamot are about as unbearably familiar as the face of the alpha he’s loved for almost two decades — his floppy curls chopped short and all the extra chub around his cheeks gone, leaving behind a defined jaw and sharp nose.
His eyes begin watering before he can stop it, voice shaking as he says, “Harry?”
Louis’ dying, he must be. His whole life with Harry is flashing in memories right before his eyes as one corner of the alpha’s lips turn up into that lopsided smile Louis has missed.
“Hi, pup,” his mellifluous and smooth voice has the omega’s body going slack.
home for the holidays and tired of being single, Louis tells his family that he’s dating his childhood friend, Harry (the fact he’s in love with him is irrelevant). Unbeknownst to him, Harry's the handyman who's been helping his parents whilst he's been at uni. So he's left to confront the alpha and ask for his assistance. Pretending to date your best friend is easier than Louis imagined.

Summary
“Sorry, who are you?”
“Oh. Yes. I’m Harry, from Fabulous Frog? I did ring the bell a few times, but there was no answer, and I heard laughter so I thought I’d pop my head round…”
“Oh! You’re the party person! Wow, of course. I’m sorry, lost track of time playing with these monsters,” Louis said, hurrying over and shaking Harry’s outstretched hand. “Lovely to meet you. Did you want to sit out here rather than indoors? Seems too nice a day to waste inside, and I can watch the children.”
“Sounds fine to me. I hope I didn’t scare you, or them? Some people don’t expect a guy to turn up when they ask to speak to me...”

Summary
“Welcome to- Louis?!”
Louis frowned then remembered he’d told the lady on the phone his name so he wasn’t too surprised the man, who was currently in shadow, knew who he was.
“Hi. I, uh, I know this is unusual, but I called the B&B and- Harry?!”
It was the biggest surprise of Louis’ life. Instead of the spotty teenager Louis had been expecting to see on the doorstep, there was his ex-boyfriend. Harry Styles. The man Louis had dated for nearly two years over four years ago now. The one that had got away. Not that Louis would ever admit that to anyone, let alone Harry.
*****
Louis is heading home to Doncaster when a blizzard hits, making travel all but impossible. He ends up on the doorstep of someone who used to mean everything to him. Someone who is now almost a stranger.
Christmas is the time for miracles, right?

Summary
Harry blinked slowly, realisation dawning on him. “Gemma, no…”
“Keira can’t stay. Her sister just had a baby, and she’s got a train booked. Harry, I wouldn’t ask if I had another choice, but I need you to take Logan…”
“Gemma! My fucking holiday… you know I’ve been looking forward to it, and so has Lou…”
“I know, Harry, I really do. And I’ll pay for another one, I promise. You can pick anywhere you like, somewhere better than bloody Magaluf, but believe me, I wouldn’t ask if I had an alternative. I’m so sorry.”
══❆❅══╡°˖❅❆❅˖°╞══❅❆══
Harry and Louis have big plans for Christmas. Neither is into the idea of celebrating, so they book a holiday to sunnier climes. However, fate has other plans in the form of Harry's ten month old nephew Logan...

Summary
Are you kidding me right now?
I… No? Louis frowned, feeling angry now. It wasn’t fair, he knew that, but at the same time, he couldn’t help his feelings. It felt like this had been brewing for weeks, and this was it. Give it a rest, Harry.
Why are you such a brat? Why can’t you just be happy for me for once?You think I want to hear about you kissing James? Really, H? There’s things I just don’t need to know, okay? I’m your best mate, not your fucking relationship advisor…
*****
Louis has always been comfortable being Harry’s one and only. When Harry starts to branch out, Louis has a hard time letting him go.
Harry is very lucky to have someone who listens to what he has to say, despite the fact that he’s deaf. He’s finally feeling like he’s coming into himself, but Louis seems bothered by his newfound confidence.
