Romy Callahan wasn't expecting much from the grey Tuesday afternoon-just a quiet moment while her daughter played and she caught her breath. But the playground was empty, save for one other father: dark-haired, hoodie pulled over his ears, chasing a giggling toddler through wet leaves. Niall Horan didn't expect her, either. Not the quiet way she smiled. Not the way her daughter offered his little girl a turn on the swing without being asked. No numbers exchanged. No promises made. Just a hello... and two daughters who didn't want to stop playing. And maybe that's where it starts. Not with fireworks- But with space. And time. And something slow and true.

"IT CAN BE SO LONELY IN THIS CITY, BUT IT FEELS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME" ••• Olivia Campbell grew up next to Liam Payne, the two relying on each other as they maneuvered through life together. No matter how far one strayed, they always stayed in touch and were there for one another, whether it be financial help or sexual favours. Simply put - casual friends. When Olivia's side job catches up to her and her future crumbles, she has nothing left to lose and time to kill. In an impulsive decision, she flees to Daytona Beach in search of a distraction, or many. It's only by chance she runs into Liam and his band while they're touring the world. How convenient that her best friend is a rockstar who can get her virtually anything she wants. Sex, drugs, alcohol and money. Except, what she really wants is a blonde-haired boy with commitment issues. ••• *a spin-off of @happydays1d's Duplicity!*

I didn't know what spooked him. I knew it wasn't me. I knew it wasn't anything I had done. But someone, somewhere along the way had hurt him. I had my guess as to who, but didn't know how I could find out for sure. But whatever it was clearly left its mark; an unseen scar that was still healing. We laid there in the quiet of the darkness. His breathing slowly began to steady and his fingers slowly ceased running down my arm. At some point, I knew he had fallen asleep. I tilted my head back up towards his face, finding his cheek, kissing him. "I don't know what made you so afraid," I whispered, "But I can see the shadow behind your face. Who hurt you? Who put your heart through so much pain? I hope you find a way to tell me what you're running from. I promise you can talk to me; you can trust me. I won't break you. I just want to know how to get in there. How do I get you to show me your heart?" I kissed him once more before resting my head down again. Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply, loving the way his natural scent mixed with the cologne he had put on. "I promise, you've got the best of me. And I'll do what it takes to bring out the best in you."

Niall is Violet's new professor, it all starts as a normal student professor relationship but then it turns...

When Summer and Niall's friends go down to an old (familiar) cabin to spend their summer before they all go off to college on the beach and with each other, as one last friend-group hurrah- tensions rise and simmer, and both Summer and Niall are forced to face things in their past-and present-about themselves and each other.

When Niall attends the FIFA Women's Final, his attention gets captured by one of the players. Patience has never been easy for Niall, but when he's put to the test will he finally learn or will he end up with his heart broken?

"Are you sure this isn't going to affect your Uber rating?" Haley asks, though one hand sits quite high on his lap and the other grips his half-unbuttoned shirt. "Fuck my rating," he says breathlessly, his fingers toying with the hem of her shirt. "If I had it my way, you'd already be on my lap." A "just for tonight" three part spinoff in which Haley still has a broken heart and Niall tries to fix it. (Note: This is a stand alone story)

There's nothing Beatrix Madison finds as silly as Romeo and Juliet, but Niall Horan's a sucker for a love story-even though his own has gone off the rails. When he finds a letter from Bea's grandmother dated half a century ago in the wall below Juliet's balcony, he has to write back. He doesn't expect anything to come of it, and he certainly doesn't expect to find himself going head to head with Bea.
