        This is the case for Harry, he's fallen for Danny and he knows it. The only thing he has to do now is prove it to her. But, it's not as simple as he thinks. The harsh encounters with love he's had before has forced him to totally blocked the feeling of love out. Now he has to find it again and push through the pain that it might give him to show Danny just how he really feels.         

     Danny is in College and is an English major. She has her friends, she's got brains, she has a good life. But that all comes tumbling down when a curly brown mop-head named Harry Styles walks with his head down and walls up into her Literature class and into her life all at once. He's intriguing, brooding, and with his emerald eyes that take her to places she never knew came with emotion he's all she can think about! The best thing of all is that he knows his stuff. Books, authors, concepts and deep understanding of every story she's ever read, including the love stories. Danny has to sort out her life and her thoughts which are now clouded over with the lanky, handsome, before his time boy that has her captivated in every way. Will they make their own love story? Or will Harry's past not only destroy him but take Danny down too?All Rights Reserved

Meet Me in the Hallway (HS AU) by itsabbeyt

"You'll never get this done, you know?" The satisfaction was evident in his voice. "You could leave me alone so I can actually get this finished. Or pick up a brush." I gestured to the abundance of supplies I had purchased. "Mmm, no thanks. Don't really have my painting clothes on." My smirk reappeared and I turned fully to face him. "That's a real shame," I cocked my head to the side and fake pouted before pointing in his direction, "the door frame is wet." His body shot off the door frame he had been leaning against and he looked over his shoulder to see the line of white paint trailing down his presumably expensive coat. "Have a great rest of your day, Mr Styles." I flicked my hands in a 'go away' gesture before sliding the door closed behind him. **** TW: This story contains mentions/descriptions of physical/emotional/sexual abuse, coarse language and mature content.

Bad Blood 2 (h.s.) by curly_baby

Harry Styles is broken, but his strength never ceases. He's been through hell the past three months and everything is going to change once he sees his brown-haired girl walking the campus. Beth Jones is confused and feels she isn't being told something about her past. She doesn't remember the past two years of her life, but what happens when her curly-haired lover re-enters her life again after her accident resulting in memory-loss? What happens when Harry meets Beth again? Will she be afraid of him or will she give him a chance? The only thing that stands in their way is time. This is a continuation/sequel of Bad Blood. I highly recommend you read that book first before starting this one. (Warning! This book contains anger, violence, and sexual content. Please read at your own risk.)

It's You [H.S.] by E_L_C_01

[Mature] With such a magnetic attraction, they could afford to wait for their perfect moment. So, when the time is right, Harry and Eloise finally get to embark on something magical together. Navigating their blossoming relationship through tours and a burgeoning new career, the hiatus and new directions, they experience all manner of highs and lows. They'll face revelations and illnesses, break ups and make ups, weddings and anniversaries. But whose? The story starts in September 2016, with the rest of the chapters then telling the unfolding story of their relationship chronologically from January 2015. Please note: This is intended as an exercise in character development and descriptive writing. Any mistakes are my own. Harry features heavily - because he's incredibly charismatic and so talented - but I feel a little out of my comfort zone writing RFC, so will be mindful to be as respectful as possible. Disclaimer: Contains some mature content. I have no links to Harry or any of his associates. Rather, I am just borrowing him and them as familiar points of reference for not-for-profit artistic license.

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.

There For You {Back For You - Prequel} by LightningandMoments

(You do not have to read Back For You to understand this, this is a PREQUEL to Back For You) High School is full of cliques, judgemental people and moments in time that you wish you could delete with the click of a button. Harry Styles is in his element and he’s gliding through high school like it was his kingdom, he had no problems except how to fit in coursework in between parties, girls and more parties. Louis Tomlinson is in a world too big for him and he’s just trying to find a way to handle it, but it’s a little hard when you get jeered at in corridors and kicked down in back alleys. Harry sees Louis and his world gets knocked off kilter, because suddenly all he wants to do is keep the boy safe, and keep him together, and maybe if this Louis-boy doesn’t mind too much, maybe Harry would like to kiss him. “If there’s a time when you feel so down, I’ll be there to hold you up.” “But Harry-” “I will be there when it’s too much, I’ll be right beside you.” “I-” “Trust me. Don’t pull away. I’m just trying to keep you together, because you’re kind of perfect to me.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: I don't know or own any characters depicted in this fic.

Out of Time by mcguinessgirl

What if one day your so called perfect life disappeared? Everyone thinks Everleigh Andrews has it all, the perfect job, the perfect friends, the perfect boyfriend but what if things aren't always what they seem? Everleigh Andrews doesn't know how to escape what everyone around her thinks is so perfect until one day she wakes up and finds all of it gone.

Everleigh doesn't know if this is a sick joke from the universe or a blessing in disguise. When Everleigh collides into a mysterious stranger at a party her world gets even more confusing. Harry Styles is a bad boy, at least that's what everyone tells her, but what if the bad boy in 1961 is actually perfect for her and her "perfect" boyfriend in the year 2022 was anything but perfect? Harry Styles doesn't have time for meaningless things like college, fake people and certainly not a relationship, but when he crashes into Everleigh Williams he has no idea that the universe has different plans for him and for the girl he can't escape. All he's been determined to do is to get kicked out of college in hopes that his parents will move back home to England. He's had his fun and his share of American girls, but now he's ready to head back across the pond. That is, until he meets Everleigh. Can a love that is found in 1961 stand the test of time? Can it find its way into the year 2022 when nothing is the same? **this book is purely fictional and any similarities to the actual Harry Styles is purely coincidental.

When Maddie and Harry run into each other again ten years later, what happens when feelings that were pushed away begin to resurface? EXCERPT: "How about this..." He suddenly gets an idea, a bold one, but he can't help but share it. "If neither of us are married by thirty, let's get married." Obviously, she'll be married by thirty. She's perfect, and any man who's as dense as a rock could see it. Surely, someone will sweep her off her feet and put a ring on her finger in the next twelve years, it's inevitable with the type of person she is. Deep down he wants it to be him, but he wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship he's had his entire life. Maddie finds herself smiling at Harry's idea, she loves it. It won't happen though, because some girl in the future is bound to fall in love with Harry and his kind heart, and he'll be head over heels for her too. It's inevitable that someone will fall in love with his dimpled smile and caring soul, and even though Maddie already has, she wouldn't dare make a move that could ruin the strongest friendship she's had her entire life. The age of thirty is twelve years away for them, it's too obvious that nothing will come from this harmless bet. "Deal." "Really?" Harry raises his eyebrows, amused at her response. "Really." They shake hands just as the song comes to an end and another one begins. But Harry doesn't let go of Lainey's hand, instead he catches her off guard by spinning her under his arm and dipping her. "You better not fall in love then." STARTED MARCH 2021 COMPLETED OCTOBER 2021 *NOT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAL HARRY STYLES OR HIS CAREER*

[COMPLETED] 18+⚠️: Contains mature and sexual content // enemies to lovers "I hate you." I repeated as I continued to walk toward her, causing her to touch the closed refrigerator with her back as she backed away. "I hate you so much that sometimes I can't think of anything else." I positioned my hands to the left and right of her head against the fridge, thus not giving her a chance to leave, but I know she didn't even want to, she's too curious.
