"Lou..." "I know, Harry! I know what you'll say, we can't right? We can't help each other's needs? We can't be what the other needs? But fuck, what about what we want?! And I say we because you've been saying yes to all of our dates and you've been flirting back all this time and-" He took a deep breath. "And there is nothing that I want more right now than to kiss you."

Come What May [l.s]
**THIS WORK IS UNEDITED. FOR AN UPDATED AND EDITED VERSION PLEASE HEAD TO MY AO3 PAGE LINKED IN MY BIO** Louis didn't believe in love at first sight until he met his neighbour Harry, the gorgeous man in the apartment next door who saved lives and had a smile that made his knees weak. Louis was determined that today was the day he would finally grow some balls and ask Harry on a date. Until his plans were disrupted by an unexpected delivery. One that would surely ruin his chances at any kind of love life. Or, maybe it would be just what Louis needed to bring he and Harry closer together.Complete
The neighbor
@Lily_pad6472 asked me to write a story where Harry and Louis both are single parents and neighbors. After his wife passed away Louis took his three kids and moved to London to get away. One day he gets a new neighbor, someone with a baby who cries nonstop. He can't have that. The paper-thin walls make it hard for his kids to sleep when that baby won't stop crying. He knocks on the neighbor's door, just to be met by the most gorgeous man he has ever laid eyes on. Purely fictional. Smut warning!Complete

Versions
@supu1224 pitched me this idea: What about a story named versions where they face struggles of life and how that changes them into different persons from who they were at the beginning but they still find home in each other? I had to try and write this, so this is Harry and Louis from the beginning to end with glimpses of their lives together. Purely fictional. Some smut. Trigger warning: When this is a beginning to end fic it means death. It also contains drug use and violence. Enjoy!Complete
Sunlight
Heartbroken and humiliated after being left at the altar by the woman he thought he'd spend the rest of his life with, 32 year old Harry Styles doesn't get around much. He wakes up, goes to work, comes home to his shitty trailer and drinks shitty beer. His only escape comes in the form of heading to the local strip club on his weekends to lose himself in fantasy. But after a particularly awful day at work, he decides to go anyway even though it's a Tuesday. He decides he's already enough of a cliche, and becoming the kind of guy who frequents strip clubs on week days really isn't above him. Unbeknownst to him, Tuesdays are the club's "All Inclusive Night," and his spiral of self deprecation is violently disrupted when "Lex" spins into his orbit- sharp-witted, beautiful, and totally out of his league. What starts as one dance behind a curtain unravels into something deeper, messier, and painfully human. Suddenly, his trailer feels less like a cage and more like a home the more "Lex," aka Louis, teaches him about himself.Complete![I didn't know!

They both went to the same school, had all of their courses together and were friends. They even dated a while ago but that didn't work out. Louis never got to know why Harry broke up with him but he doesn't mind anymore. They both grew up a bit since then. Louis was an normal 19 year old, normal boy. Just like everyone else he knew. Except the fact that he wasn't normal. And not everyone he knew was normal either. Harry wasn't normal. I mean what even is normal? But in this world, Harry definitely wasn't normal. He just wasn't a Human so he wasn't like most people he knew. Like most of his friends. He was different in a way which was even so drastic, that u can call it unnormal. Published:07 october 2020
Prisoner of A Past Life
Harry has been stealing apples for weeks from Louis' farm. When someone calls the cops, Louis frantically intervenes, sparing the handsome stranger a night in jail. He doesn't know that he's actually saved Harry from a much more sinister fate. Grateful towards his host for providing a hot meal and a shower, Harry tries to figure out if his savior is into him, before he gives Louis horrific details about the nightmare-place he'd escaped from. After learning what Harry has been through, Louis invites him to stay at his place, while Harry plans his next moves. Being conscious of Harry's history, Louis must navigate the complexities of their undeniable attraction to each other, uncertain what kind of relationship Harry is realistically ready for. With nothing to do besides get to know each other, Harry learns about Louis' own dark past, and why it keeps him locked away at home on his father's farm. When people come looking for Harry, his past catches up with him in a way that forces an anxious, reclusive Louis into action. Will Louis be able to face his fears, and save Harry for a second time?

I'll be coming Back For You - L.S
Louis and Harry grew up together in a quiet rural town just outside of London. From the very beginning, Louis felt an unexplainable pull toward Harry-something he didn't fully understand until years later, when he realized it had always been a crush. Harry, charming but a little air-headed, never seemed to notice the lingering glances or the subtle, affectionate touches Louis gave without thinking. Then, just days before their high school graduation, while hanging out like they always did, Louis-tired of hiding, aching with the weight of unspoken feelings-finally confessed his love. It backfired completely. Harry didn't feel the same. Worse, he admitted he wouldn't be attending the same university as they'd always planned- he was moving away. No warning. No real goodbye. Crushed and bitter, Louis spent his first year of college drifting-isolated, numb, unable to move past the heartbreak of losing his best friend and first love all at once. So, how do you recover from someone who was your everything? It's not until senior year that he sees him again: a painfully familiar face in a place he never expected. After all this time, after all that hurt... how is Louis supposed to react? Can his now fragile, stitched-up heart take it?Complete
