She wasn't looking for him. He wasn't supposed to stay. But Lotte, the sharp-eyed café owner with a soft heart and no need for English, knew better. In a quiet Berlin café filled with secondhand furniture, old vinyl records, and Lotte's unbeatable cherry cake, Emi lives a life of stillness-small, steady, safe. Then Harry Styles walks in, quiet and unshaven, trying to disappear. What starts with shared glances and mismatched mugs becomes routines, soup bowls, and late-night confessions. Emi pretends not to know who he is. Harry pretends he's not falling. And Lotte? She sees everything-and starts nudging them together with cake, eye-rolls, and more than a little mischief. But secrets don't stay quiet forever. When the world comes calling and Harry's love songs start sounding a little too familiar, Emi has to choose: stay hidden in her quiet corners-or finally risk being seen. A slow-burn, aching love story about intimacy, anonymity, and the grandmotherly matchmaker who always knew best. --- Warning : It's very slow and very long!

My friendship for Harry is laying on green grass on a hazy summer afternoon, hot chocolate in winter and swing sets at the park... But my love for Harry is poetry written by hand in leather journals, dried flowers pressed into novels and open button up shirts that expose my black swimmer tops. I realised something; his pinkie wrapped in mine is a feeling I've never realised I crave so badly. Perhaps because I couldn't have it. Not until now. **** With growing up comes change and for Tilly and Harry - change was their detriment. *this story contains mature and explicit content* * COMPLETED* Highest Achievements: #1 in one #1 in onedirection #1 in hs1 #1 in secretlove #1 in harrystyles #1 in films #1 in onedirectionasthemselves

Harper Quinn just wanted to survive her first real job on tour. Instead, she gets thrown into the deep end: eighteen-hour days, a crew that quickly starts to feel like family, and a former boy-band heartthrob who keeps showing up exactly when she least expexts it but needs it most. As the tour moves through Europe, the line between professional and personal starts to blur in ways none of them ever planned for, and the life she thought she was building back home starts falling apart. Backstage is a story about learning who you are when the spotlight isn't on you, about the family you find when you're far from home, and about a slow-burn romance that neither of them saw coming, but both of them might need. **Please keep in mind that I've never written a story this long before and that english is not my first language. I try the best I can and am greatful for all the feedback I get, but always remember to treat people with kindness :) ** STARTED: 27/01/2026 MOMENTS: #1 harrystyles (29th July) #1 harryedwardstyles (13th May) #1 stylesfanfic (28th May) #1 softharry (24th July) #1 styles (7th September)
