Summary
He runs a hand through his hair only to remember, belatedly, that he’d slicked it back with gel in order to blend into the… aesthetic. He’d worn eyeliner, too. Not his usual bright or sparkly fare, but a deep brown with burgundy makeup layered over top. He hadn’t bothered with any other enhancements, his skin already a pale enough tint to create a nice contrast with the cropped leather of his jacket. He’d opted for simplicity, wanting to look the part without drawing too much attention. He was meant to be an observer. A fly on the wall.
He grimaces at the thought of flies. He was technically in a room full of corpses. Or would be corpses. Or potentially future corpses.
He rolls his eyes internally.
Everyone is a future corpse, Harry.

Summary
It's been twelve years since Harry met Louis on TXF, became best mates with him, eventually falling head over heels in love with him. Six years post One Direction deciding to go on hiatus and now everyone is doing their own thing. All the boys have solo careers, some are touring, and with their busy lives in play, Harry and Louis have sort of grown apart. Harry's been filling the Louis void by devouring Larry fanfics, giving himself a chance to love Louis from afar in his own way. So far it's worked for him and he's content with his love of Louis being of the unrequited variety.
That all changes, however, when Harry reads a particularly emotional and classic fic in the fandom, and he simply can't help but call Louis despite his sobs to tell him all about it, inadvertently sending Louis down the Larry fic rabbit hole as well.
OR
A canon-divergent AU where Louis and Harry read Larry Stylinson fanfiction.

Summary
A misinterpreted gesture of kindness pits newly-single father Louis against a kind-hearted Harry who only wants to help.
“I don’t need your pity,” he seethed. At Louis’ words, Harry frowned.
“You don’t have it.” Harry’s voice was quiet. Hurt. “I’ve been where you are. I don’t pity you, Louis.”
“Pity or not, you were out of line,” Louis growled through gritted teeth. “I didn’t ask for your help and I definitely don’t need it.”
He was hanging onto restraint for dear life. He wanted to scream in Harry’s face. He wanted to make him feel as shitty as he’d just made Louis feel. He wanted to embarrass Harry the way he’d just embarrassed him.
“I’m doing just fine without your charity. Keep your ‘good deeds’ to yourself.”

Summary
Louis swears on his life that that man came out of literal nowhere and he thanks each lucky star for having good breaks in his car.
This strange alpha also happens to be the most beautiful being Louis has laid his eyes on.For some unknown reason, the omega feels safe around the alpha. It might seem strange, but you can't always explain why or how things are the way they are. All you can really be sure of is that they happen for a reason. There's a higher power (call it what you want) that knows better and definitely knows more than you do.

Summary
Back at his desk, Louis closed his eyes for a moment, trying to settle into the reality of this. He was leaving the UK for only the second time in his life. Suddenly, the holiday he took to Spain three summers ago felt like it paled in comparison. He was going to the U.S. - for work, it was true, but still - alone. He’d been all for seizing the moment when his boss had been looking at him with a gaze of steel, but now he felt vaguely nauseous.
Louis took several shaky breaths, feeling like the air was being sucked from the room, and opened the manila folder, laying it flat on his desk. His breath caught as he saw the destination, centered in a large, block font at the very top of the first page:
Robinson Publishing - Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
~~~
After two years of living in an everlasting cycle of work, sleep, and regret, Louis finds himself wandering brand new streets perpetually haunted by the ghosts of his past.
The Chicago Fic.
