[Complete] Louis and Harry were never supposed to end up like this-strangers with history, exes in the same industry, ghosts in each other's orbit. Back when One Direction was still together, they had something real. Something messy, complicated, but real. Then the band fell apart. And so did they. Now, years later, Harry's solo career is thriving, and Louis has built a life of his own. They haven't spoken, haven't seen each other, haven't acknowledged the weight of what they left behind. But when Harry brings his tour to Los Angeles-the city Louis now calls home-old wounds start to reopen. Louis never planned to go to Harry's concert. He's spent years avoiding him, pretending they're just two people who used to know each other. But when Niall pushes him to show up, he starts to wonder: is it really over, or were they just unfinished?

Harry Styles is an Omega used to city lights, designer clothes and not having to touch actual dirt. So when he's suddenly relocated to the middle of the Tuscan countryside with only his old family villa and far too much fresh air for company, he's not exactly thrilled. He's ready to be miserable about it, too... until he meets Louis, the annoyingly handsome gardener with dirt under his nails and a way of looking at Harry that makes him forget why he ever liked city life to begin with. But Louis hides something big and Harry has to decide if he goes back to the safe, polished life he ran from... or stay and risk everything for love in the middle of nowhere.

Louis only wanted to win the annual neighbourhood Christmas decoration contest. That's it. Simple. So when his new neighbour Harry decides to outshine his decorations (literally), Louis is ready for war. But after a while, Louis isn't sure anymore if he wants to strangle Harry with tinsel or kiss him under it. Possibly both. Probably both.

Louis doesn't mind being an omega, most of the time. Modern medicine allows him to suppress almost all of his omega traits, but the one thing it can't suppress is his scenting cycle. Fortunately, that only needs to be dealt with every seven years and he counts himself lucky that he can afford the services of a reputable agency. With his cycle due, he reviews the matched candidates and there's one alpha who fits all of his criteria, S28A. That's pretty much where things start to unravel. Enter Harry Styles, scenter for hire. Or the one where Louis is an omega in need, Harry is an alpha for hire, and destiny presents them with a fate they never saw coming.

Louis' tipsy brain decided that a four-week couples therapy retreat sounded like the perfect holiday idea. Minor issue: he didn't have a boyfriend. Enter Harry, add one unhinged therapist and too much sexual tension... and somehow, it actually works out.

Louis never thought his new grumpy neighbour would turn his world upside down. Harry Styles is an Alpha, a detective, and annoyingly hard to read... until he isn't. The closer they grow, the more Louis learns that love can be messy, healing can be slow and yet sometimes the pull between two souls is stronger than everything else.

Louis and Harry are devoted Swifties who meet by chance while queuing for the Eras Tour. It all sort of spirals from there and turns into chaotic flirting, cosy nights, too many feelings and maybe a little bit of fate. It's fluffy, messy, romantic and very them. Expect an alarming number of Taylor lyrics, dramatic tweets, chaotic friends and two idiots trying to figure out what the hell they're doing.

When Harry receives two tickets to see one of his favourite bands, he'd expected that his best mate would accompany him. However, it is soon learned that the intentions behind this so-called gift were far more wondrous than he initially thought. Uni au.

Louis is a workaholic record label CEO who hasn't been on a date in nearly a year. Niall and Liam make an account for him on a sugar dating website as a joke. And then Louis meets Harry.

A dusty box. Faded letters. A love story lost to time. When Harry's daughter stumbles upon heartfelt notes from someone named Louis, curiosity turns into a mission to find the man Harry once loved. But some stories aren't meant to stay in the past. Written for the Momrry Fic Fest 2025
