Niall Horan is tired (and slightly embarrassed) of being the only one in his circle who is still single. The people around him - his family, his friends, his colleagues - are either in love, getting married or starting a family. Although they are content with their lives, at least that's what they tell Niall, they can't seem to mind their own business and stop trying to set him up with someone they know. In their defence, they're just worried about him and want the best for him. If only he could find a way to make them stop... Alexandra Oh has just gotten out of a relationship with the guy she thought was the one and she's not looking to be in another relationship anytime soon. But she has a problem. A few months ago, when she thought things were great between her and her ex that shall not be named, she told her family and friends that she would introduce him to them. She will prove to everyone that her boyfriend is indeed real and not someone she makes up so they would stop pestering her about her love life. With said ex out of the picture now, she needs to find someone that could fill in the position. If only she could find someone willing to be her pretend boyfriend... or, the one where lies are told and lines get blurred

Harry and Maia work at a dating agency. Everyone they have set up is perfect together but the only people they refuse to match are themselves. Despite the glances, the casual touches and the subtle (and not so subtle) flirting, Maia and Harry are strictly platonic. At least that's what they tell everyone and it's what they tell themselves.

“Do you ever wonder whether people would like you more or less if they could see inside you? But I always wonder about that. If people could see me the way I see myself—if they could live in my memories—would anyone, anyone, love me?” -John Green

You've always done things the way you were supposed to. On time, in order, and with a fair amount of preparation. But nothing could have prepared you for something as unplanned as this. Especially when Harry Styles is involved.

Niall Horan, Mr player, Mr big shot, the best parties, the best girls, the best in bed, Isabella George, quite, gawky, brunette, newly single and paired with Niall on a college music project. He had met her but never noticed her before, until that night. The night he saw her wandering round his house, talking to his friends, how hadn't he seen her before? Becoming friends was never the plan, he wanted to fuck her that was it, Liam warned him she wasn't like the others, he should have listened. She didn't want anything to do with him, drunken kisses lead to other things but not sex. That's the bet. She won't sleep with him because if she does she had to sing and she doesn't want that. They fall in love but they don't want to admit it, but it never runs smoothly because there are some things you just aren't prepared for.

Nisha Lall is sort of used to living in the shadow of her older sister. She doesn't have anything against that. After all, she'd much rather hide out in a corner with a good romance novel than be in the spotlight. This proves to be somewhat tricky when she's chosen as her sister's maid of honor for her over-the-top Indian wedding and she can't seem to evade everyone's attention. She'd probably be able to handle it if it weren't for a certain blue-eyed best man who doesn't seem to notice how impossibly nervous she gets in his presence and has made it his mission to constantly seek her out. A story of hopeless romantics, an easter wedding, a maid of honor who has a really big crush on the best man, and a night in a tiny hotel room (with only one bed) that may or may not be the beginning of something. written for the 1dff discord server fic challenge; based on the "there was only one bed" trope with an easter twist.

Zoe returns to her hometown for her high school reunion. She expects to run into a few familiar faces, but what she doesn't expect is for Niall Horan to walk right back into her life. A story about high school reunions, nostalgia at its finest, and a whole bunch of regrets over one tragic relationship. Inspired by Taylor Swift's "All Too Well" and Adele's "Love In The Dark."

Rory Bhatt hates lifeguarding, hates the Shack kids, and hates Niall Horan. All she wants is to have a peaceful summer minding her own business and hopefully be able to find some much needed inspiration so she can finally start sketching things that look good again. But Niall Horan appears, with that annoying grin and a problem on his hands, and of course that plan goes out the window. A story about tired lifeguards, a stolen cat, wild imaginations, and lots and lots of parties.
