The year is 1920 and War is still detrimental to Harry's day to day life. His flashbacks knock him sideways and the absence of his father who was lost at war worsens his mental stability. However when he meets Cora, a young hotel employee and night worker, she brings him back to life. After being driven out of her family home she forgets what it feels like to be wanted, until she meets Harry. Their shared love for poetry and the poets of the previous century bring them closer through words and art alongside the uncanny closeness of their pasts. A unprecedented crossing of paths creates tension but soulmate worthy connections between the pair as they figure out a strange family history and fight the terrifying post war nightmare London has turned into.

I hate her, I hate her, I fucking hate her. If she died right now, I wouldn't care. My main concern would be how I would get my money for this stunt. I have not an ounce of a feeling for this girl in front of me, yet I can't move under her angry gaze. I wouldn't dare. "Fuck you." I whisper out a pitiful insult to get the last word. "Fuck you." She replies just as quietly, taking a deep inhale as she holds our eye contact. She grinds her jaw as she stays looking at me, eyes scanning over my face with a huff. I hold my same scowl, still not backing away from her. I'm stuck in my place, my face not even an inch away from hers. I don't know how it happened, who started it, or what, but before I know it, her lips are on mine and I'm shoving her body backwards into the shelf. - Aubrey Hart and Harry Styles, costars in the movie "Forbidden Connection", hate each other. On screen, they're happily in love and yearning for each other's touch. Outside of that, though, it's constant yelling and fighting between the two of them. There's never a second of peace. Harry goes too far with what he says and Aubrey claps back in an instant. They don't clash very well whatsoever. When they're offered a big paycheck for a PR relationship, will the forced closeness become a little too real? Will they start to grow an understanding for each other? It's like they all say... there's a fine line between love and hate. **MATURE CONTENT** HIGHEST RANKINGS #1 in enemiestolovers #1 in harrystyles #1 in louistomlinson #1 in zaynmalik #1 in liampayne STARTED JANUARY 2021 - COMPLETED JULY 2021Complete![Turbulence [H.S. || A.U.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/240501310-256-k728438.jpg)

North Road {HS}
His eyes are a shade of green I can't quite put a name to. Muddy, overwhelming, pain might come close, and maybe that's why it seems so familiar. Because his arms, clad in the faded homespun my mother once made, feel like home. He's a sad, lovely song I don't know the words too but long with every ounce of my being to sing. ----------------------------- It's 1918 and an entire generation is aching in its very bones. Love and loss are bedfellows. Sometimes in the aftermath of death things grow and in the aftermath of war is life. ----------------------------- Harry Styles/ Emilia Clarke/ Sam Claflin/ Lily James (#1 in WW1)Complete

Stir Me Up [h.s.]
Harry Styles doesn't know much, but he does know two things. He knows that there's not many things a good cocktail can't fix, and he also knows that he can't stop thinking about the blonde-haired girl who he shamelessly flirts with during his shift every Friday evening. Willa Tillerson might know too much, to be fair. She knows that she lets work slowly take over her life, she knows that this work-life balance her friends talk about is nothing short of fiction, and she knows that she can't help but look forward to Friday's so that she can flirt with the handsome barman at the pub across the street. A short story about drinks and the people who make them, featuring a hint of pining and a dash of a (potential) happily ever after.Complete
