Summary
Louis knows about beauty; the combination of qualities that pleases the aesthetic senses. He creates that combination every day in the garments he designs while studying fashion at uni. The cut of the design, the color of the fabric, the intricacy of the stitching; it all comes together to create something beautiful. When the science student with the long legs and dimpled smile agrees to model for him, Louis decides he’s found beauty personified. Harry just thinks Louis needs someone to show him how beautiful he is.

Summary
“Let’s enjoy each others’ company. You’re fit; you’re young; you’re a bloody doctor. You’ve got everything going for you.” There’s a moment of hesitation before Louis plants a gentle kiss atop Harry’s head. “I’ll be whatever you want me to be as long as we’re having fun, yeah?”
-----
Drunk, loose, and excited on the first night of his two-week-long cruise, Doctor Harry Styles finds himself with a little extra company on what has turned out to be a lonely experience. Louis, the pilot who helped fly him across the Atlantic, is the object of his fling.
Thus begins an adventure filled with laughter, sun, and trauma rearing its ugly head. Deadline on their companionship, the pair commit to enjoying their time - and Harry, the screw-up he is, can't help but lose himself in the fantasy.

Summary
Louis had thought that he’d enrolled himself into a normal, albeit a little out-of-the-ordinary English class when he signed up for “Imaginative English and the Arts.” Maybe he’d just have to be a bit more creative than usual. He was always up for a challenge.
When everyone was handed a sheet of paper and told to list the names of everyone in class from least to most favorite, Louis should have taken it as a hint to run as far away from that classroom as he possibly could.
Or the one where Louis has to figure out 10 things he admires about Harry Styles, his self-proclaimed enemy, by the end of the school year.

Thirty two year old, war veteran, Louis has been employed by the influential Edgar Styles to be a personal bodyguard for his son, upcoming popstar, Harry Styles. Chosen for his skill, intellect and dedication, Louis is more than prepared for his new job. But when he arrives, he learns that his duty is much bigger. The omega is being stalked and they want him to have an alpha by his side at all times, one who can play pretend for the cameras, but behind the scenes keep his eyes peeled for an intruder.

Louis is the concertmaster of the London Symphony Orchestra, Harry is the New! and Exciting! interim conductor/ex-cello prodigy who "has made Mozart cool again" according to Esquire Magazine (Louis hates him immediately, which is definitely why he internet stalked him in his dark bedroom late at night that one time), and Niall is the best. Zayn and Liam are around too.

Summary
“I just want you to look decent. Is that too much to ask? It is your cousin’s wedding, for heaven’s sake.”
Oh, brilliant. His cousin’s wedding.
Bloody hell. His fucking cousin’s wedding!
He must have said that last bit aloud, because his stepmother goes, “Louis, please tell me you haven’t forgotten,” her voice tight with the recent bombshell of a revelation. He can’t exactly blame her, can he? This one’s on him.
“No, no. Of course. Jane’s wedding,” he tries to sound convincing.
That’s a lie.

Summary
He hadn’t meant to look at his new neighbour’s arse, he really hadn't. But as Harry closed his door behind him, Louis' eyes caught on a piece of torn fabric. His baggy jeans seemed to have ripped right over his arse, and white lace was showing.
After his partner arrived home with a soulmark to another, Harry and his daughter move to London for a fresh start. He falls quickly for their new neighbour, Louis. A story of invisible strings, love, fate and rainbows after storms.

Summary
Nick leans over. "Oh," he says, his voice smug. "Who is that?"
Harry just blinks at his phone. "Um," he manages to stammer out.
"Who's that, Harry?" Nick asks again, but this time he raises his eyebrows and smirks. Harry knows Nick is just teasing, and that he's not really looking for new Harry Styles gossip, but, um. He might have found something. Accidentally.
Harry opens his mouth to speak, but all that comes out is another 'um'. He really needs to work on translating his thoughts into words. But then it probably wouldn't be any help right now, would it? His mind is as blank as a newly erased etch-a-sketch.
"Oh," Nick says again, this time gleefully, seemingly having picked up on Harry's distress. "Looks like we've got a story here! Are you going to call or delete her number?"
Her number. So Nick thinks it's a girl. Well, Harry can't blame him: 'Lou' is kind of an androgynous nickname. His stylist's name is Lou.
But this Lou, well, Louis, he's kind of, really, really not a girl. He's really pretty though, which, is something.
(Or: AU where Harry's in One Direction, Louis isn't, and they reconnect over a game of 'Call or Delete'.)

Summary
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d almost think that you’re enjoying yourself.”
The familiar voice immediately gets Louis’ blood boiling, shoulders tensing as he calmly spins around, trying not to draw any suspicion to the pair.
“You don’t know me at all,” Louis spits, managing to maintain the polite smile he’s been wearing all evening. “You’re just some asshole who always ruins my nights.”
“If I keep ruining your nights, why do you keep going home with me?” Harry asks, taking a sip from his own wine glass.
“I don’t go home with you by any choice of my own,” Louis says. “I think you’re annoying and I have no idea how I keep ending up in your bed.”
“You end up in my bed because you knock on my apartment door at two in the morning.”
Louis wants to punch the smirk right off of his face. “Maybe you should move,” is what he says instead.

It’s Louis’ senior year, and he’s dead set on doing it right.

Mortal enemies “with benefits” was not exactly the plan.
Or: The one where Louis and Harry definitely aren’t friends, and football is everything.

“Guys! Does Harry know about Lord Baseball?”
Micah squeaks.
“Lord Baseball?” Harry says slowly.
“He’s only the greatest baseball player of all time!” Micah insists. “Our actual lord and savior, our hero, our shortstop...”
Our shortstop. Harry blinks and reaches for another cashew. “Our shortstop? You mean Lou… Louis?”
“Lord Baseball.” Micah nods. “The love of my life.”
Harry chokes on a cashew. Joe and Tristan cackle while James mutters, “Never stood a chance against those fuckin’ cheekbones…”

Louis doesn’t respond.
Harry glances up. Louis is completely silent, staring very hard at a spot on the table.
Something clicks in Harry’s tired brain. “Wait…”
He looks back down at the list. Then back up at Louis. Then at the list again. There’s no fucking way.
Louis clears his throat. “No, like...you’d be doing the fucking.”

“For the last time, go away! This is fucking harassment, you know that? I’m well within my rights to call the cops.” Louis wished he could have hidden the tremor in his voice. He knew that it was thick with emotion. He was frustrated, angry, and beyond devastated.
“Uh…”
That was definitely not his ex's voice. Louis froze. Who had he just sworn at?
AKA
Louis has just been through a bad break-up and accidentally verbally assaults unsuspecting flower delivery man Harry.
