For Joelle Katler, life's been all right. She's at school in her favorite state, she's living with her best friend, and there's always a bottle of wine ready to be popped in her fridge. And that's okay. For Harry Styles, life passes by. He's passionate about his job, he has his own apartment, and he's making a home for himself in an unfamiliar place. He should feel satisfied. Maybe it's time they ignite a little something in each of their lives. A firefighter AU about taking risks and not being alone.

From the first moment Nora Priestley met Harry Styles, she knew that they were never destined to be friends. Coming from two separate worlds is putting it far too lightly-considering Harry's family owned a massive real estate empire and Nora and her mother were otherwise known as the help. Working hard to get what she wanted was practically instilled in her person, therefore crossing paths with Harry at boarding school was never supposed to go further than four years of unbearable acquaintanceship. But life has a funny way of never going according to plan, and somehow in the span of growing up and falling into place, Nora and Harry seem more interwoven than ever before. Fourteen years is a long time to know another person, and even though they've spent most of that time convincing everybody else that they hate each other, there's still that little spark buried deep inside of them that threatens to ignite with each year that passes between them. A story about a girl who likes movies more than she likes people, a boy who holds the world in the palm of his hands, three cities that hold a piece of them captive in the cracks of the pavement, and fourteen years of always being just close enough, but never nearly there. banner credit to the lovely eriza

Ryan Walden, serial mover, children's toy enthusiast, and overall socially awkward twenty-seven year old, is completely content with being alone. Quarantining in her brand new flat will be nothing short of bearable for her, considering the only thing she needs to keep herself busy is her new job and her kitten, Luna. But things never tend to go her way. And when she makes a new friend in the form of a tiny human who thinks her clumsiness is the funniest thing he's ever seen (which, to be fair, is probably true), Ryan's finding out that being alone isn't all it's chalked up to be. Oh, and the fact that his father is unbearably attractive only causes Ryan to wonder how long she can handle being cooped up in this godforsaken apartment complex. The one in which Harry finds himself psychoanalyzing the quirky girl next door, wondering if the void in his heart can be filled with the simpler things in life. Featuring a curly-headed toddler, a friendly kitten, and enough awkward run-ins in carpeted hallways to put any romantic comedy to shame. (banner by leigh)

Rory Prescott has a history of (really) bad relationships and even worse break-ups. The player? The cheater? The one with the weird foot fetish? She's dated them all. She's jaded, tired of the same old break-up routines and now convinced that her judgement of character was so off the charts that she couldn't even tell the difference between a zebra and a bloody horse. But, it isn't until after Rory finds out her current boyfriend is cheating on her with someone else that she decides that the universe must be sending her some sort of sign: no more guys. So, she listens; until a boy with bright green eyes and a knack for reciting knock-knock jokes walks into her life, that is, and she realizes it's going to take a hell of a lot more than her heated glares and witty low blows to get him to leave her alone. A Harry Styles UNI AU

COMPLETE // Harry Styles and Maya Rajput were meant to be forever. They were supposedly in love. Or at least, she was. He wasn't. Not anymore, since he's decided to break up with her mere weeks before he goes on tour again. And as if things can't get any worse, they're stuck together in a house full of haunting memories while the world goes through an unprecedented pandemic - forced to deal with the pieces of their broken relationship. But maybe being stuck together is exactly what they need to fall back in love all over again. Or maybe, this is the beginning of the end.

Harry Styles has a reputation. The nurses mourn how he's "too moody for such a pretty face", his colleagues look sideways at his emotionless approaches and even he knows his interns end up leaving him by the tenth time he's risen his voice at them. But Loren Coleman has a plan: she is going to be the best neurosurgeon St. Paul's Hospital has ever seen. Even if it means she has to learn from an insufferable bastard who kicks her out of his service every other week. A story about a hotshot neurosurgeon who has a stick up his butt, the hospital's sweetheart and the hemangioblastoma that changed it all.

Harry's always been very sure of himself and yet, he finds himself hitting a plateau. Quarter-life crises are supposed to be easy, right?

A (kinda) short story about tattoos, the photographs you keep, comeback records, and what comes after. ~a post break up au~

Ishika Arora is 22, Bollywood's sweetheart, and has quite the reputation. She's lived her entire life at the whim of her father's wrath. One drunken mistake and one forced decision brings these two together - 6 months of manufactured chemistry in India, England, and the US to prove they're the real deal. A fake dating OU about media perception, what sacrifices it takes to be a star, family (or the lack thereof), and a boy who takes care of a girl like nobody else ever has.
