They met once seven years ago. Now music has made them cross paths again. This is my entry for the "Pick Your Poison Fic Challenge" on tumblr.

My best friend Halo once told me that people come into your life for a reason. They may not stay forever, but your life is forever changed because they touched it. I didn't know if that was true, and I suspected she was quoting one of her many poetry books, but I thought it was a nice idea. I am the entertainer And I know just where I stand Another serenader And another long haired band Today I am your champion I may have won your hearts But I know the game, you'll forget my name And I won't be here in another year If I don't stay on the charts ***Author's Note*** Dear Friends: Welcome to my new fan fiction! I just wanted to take a moment to write a little note, giving you some idea about this story. In The Entertainer, Harry is still Harry Styles, but he's not the Harry Styles we know today. He's Harry Styles, 70s rockstar. So in a way, it's an alternate universe, but one I think the real Harry fits in very well. This will not be a full chaptered fic, but it will be longer than a short story. Each chapter or part will be fairly short, sort of the length of one of my usual one shots, but compiled together will make a full story, or mini fic. This story also will contain many music references and song lyrics. There will be times when listening to (or at least already knowing) a song might be essential. I'll keep you posted. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the journey! Thanks for reading. -Courtney xo

I'v always wanted to be an angel

[COMPLETE] Having a crush on your boss is no big deal. Right? Talulah Knight is the assistant to the CEO of a major architecture firm. She loves Madonna, baking, oh and she is in love with her boss, but both of them are completely oblivious. With late nights in the office and boring work events, the lines between professional and unprofessional start to blur.

One night of impulse shouldn't lead to much for Joni Lewis, but when she meets the alluring Harry Styles, an opportunity arises that she can't ignore. A Harry Styles short story inspired by Pretty Woman.

harry is just on the edge of thirty-five, and y/n is someone he's sure he shouldn't get involved with. until she seeks him out, anyway, and he realizes no one has ever really shown her how she should be treated.

*female reader insert fic* You and Harry exist in the same friend group--and barely tolerate each other. Each night out is filled with snarky comments and arguments that go quickly from mumbled insults so full on fighting--even after he kisses you. An enemies to lovers fic filled with banter, fashion, sex, and major angst. *This was (and is) originally posted on Tumblr, by me, harrystylescherry (aka nat). I'm putting it on here so that it's easier to read as the parts are pretty long!* [there's been an influx of people adding this fic to "one shot/short story" reading lists and uh...yes this fic is only 7 parts but its about 150k words so its novel length lol it is not a short read i just wanted to let everyone know]

Natasha Reynolds is trying to figure her life out. She's newly single, behind her deadline for her newest book release, and currently stuck in her best friend's house while her home office is being renovated. Harry Styles is just trying to complete this project. He's in the midst of his own home renovation, but when he steps foot into Natasha's home, he finds that there's more to life than just trying to rebuild. A (short) story about starting over, learning how to cope, blonde haired toddlers, and finding the light that shines inside of you.

If Frankie Goodhart had one secret in her life, it would be that she spent her summer writing album reviews for Rolling Stone, hoping one day they'd give her a shot. If she had a second secret in her life, it would be that she was constantly chasing love, never knowing what it felt like to be truly immersed in another person. She blames this on her ever-growing record collection filled with long songs. Harry Styles had a lot of secrets in his life, but if he had to share one, it would be that he was trying his hardest to balance his life while being on the road with his band. Just as he's starting to feel like he's begun to balance the ever-shifting scales of his life, Frankie shows up, and suddenly he doesn't want to keep his secrets hidden any longer. Well, except one. cover by leigh
