As a B&B owner on the most remote of all the British Isles, Louis Tomlinson is used to spending the coldest half of the year in complete isolation, with his dog and the sea as sole companions. Until, one day, a mysterious stranger on a quest to rebuild himself rents a room for the winter.

In the heart of Surrey, lives the estate Worthwood Estate, where Louis Tomlinson's father owns the place and rents the cottage out to people needing a place to hide. Majority of the customers here are rich, famous, and need to leave their normal lives in order to feel a state of peace. During the peak of the holiday season, a new face pops up into the cottage, and Louis has to do everything in him to remain calm. It's not because this particular person is famous-Louis doesn't give a shit about that- but it's because this so happens to be Harry Styles, and for years Louis' sisters have swooned over the popstar, and he too, secretly crushes over him. What'll happen during the month Harry has booked the cottage? And what'll happen when he finally has to leave the peaceful bliss and return back to reality?

Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson have nothing in common - except their mutual dislike for each other. Harry, the quiet new boy in town, and Louis, the popular boy next door with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue, seem destined to clash at every turn. But when their teacher pairs them up for a mandatory Christmas project, they're forced to spend more time together than either of them would like. Between cold winter nights, countless paper snowflakes, and overly salted cookies, Harry and Louis begin to discover that first impressions aren't always what they seem. This holiday season, will the magic of Christmas be enough to turn enemies into something more? Find out in this Advent calendar story told in 24 chapters, one for each day leading up to Christmas. Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

Where Louis is the typical nerd, son of the local pastor and Harry is the bad boy that just can't keep his hands to himself. *completed* *under editing* *highest ranking: #1 in larrystylinson* "I was hooked the second I started reading.

They couldn't be more different if they tried. Louis Tomlinson is 17 years old and in his last year of the most prestigious private school in Doncaster, before then he's off to Uni. He has big plans for his future, and thanks to his parent's money he will have no problem achieving them. Everyone who attends his school knows him thanks to his incredibly rich family, sassy attitude and gorgeous girlfriend, Eleanor Calder. If there's one thing that completely annoys him, it's that there is a community college right across the street from St. Mark's Private School, and he has to look at the poor, totally inappropriate students that go there. Harry Styles is 19 years old, and (once again) in his last year of college. He goes to Doncaster's community college, just because the Holmes Chapel comprehensive expelled him twice in the span of two years, so he and his family had to move to another town. He has no future because he never shows up to classes and if he actually bothers to, he's either high or drunk; sometimes both. His skin is littered with tattoos and if there's one thing he absolutely hates, it's the snobby students attending the private school right across from his, who think they're better than anyone just because their parents have money. When they meet, Louis is nothing but disgusted by the tattooed boy, and Harry can't help but laugh at the innocent yet sassy boy with blue eyes and amazing arse. Or a sixth form!AU where Harry is the fucked up bad boy with too many problems, Louis is the perfect rich boy with too much money and their schools are right across from each other. They meet at a party and that's the last (and maybe the only) thing they need.

Louis Tomlinson has tried so hard to not be who he really is. He has worked for years to not be a person that people don't accept. The walls he built are slowly torn down by a tall boy with green eyes. Add Louis, Harry Styles, a pride parade, and a kiss together, and there's a story full of love and someone learning that it's okay to love boys because love is love, right? (Louis is a painter who hides his sexuality. Harry is a wedding photographer who embraces his gay pride. Liam and Zayn most certainly have a thing going on, and Niall is content just trying to open a restaurant.) Cover by @stiles24stilinskiXD
