For his final year of school, Harry finds himself thousands of miles from home, staying with a host family in a small American town. It's a new place, a new school, and a fresh start- nothing too complicated.
Then he meets Wren.
She lives next door and is best friends with Harry's host brother, Leo. Their first meeting doesn't exactly go smoothly, and Wren isn't in a rush to change her mind about him. Still, as they spend more time together through shared friends and quiet moments, the walls start to come down.
What begins as a friendship quietly deepens, and before either of them realizes it, the line between "just friends" and something more begins to blur.
But what happens when graduation comes around and Harry has to go back to London?

They've known each other since they were eleven, inseparable best friends for as long as they can remember, but long distance and spotty behavior causes them to lose touch after graduation. 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.

Yours Sincerely & Secretly
17 year old Harry Styles finally gets a scholarship to attend the most prestigious private high school of Holmes Chapel. Ready for a fresh start, he decides to join the football team in search of new experiences. What he doesn't expect at all is that the team is full of older, popular and wealthy frat boys-including their captain, Louis Tomlinson, who is basically the dream target among girls. Harry and Louis form a bond pretty quickly despite being complete opposites from very different worlds. What they soon start to share though, are more and more secret little rendezvous and whether Louis likes it or not, he's becoming part of something he absolutely shouldn't be. Not just because he's convinced he's straight, but because it could ruin far more than just his reputation. Still, the tension and desire between the two best friends proves stronger than any rational thought, breaking through whatever self-control they have left. Or: How can we go back to being friends, when we just shared a bed?Complete
tryst // h.s
(COMPLETED) One would say this is your typical love story, you know, best friends falling for each other, romance and all that rainbowy stuff, happily ever after. Sorry to break it down to you, it's not. This is a story in which, she, just like him, is a dreamer. They share the same passion, the same ambitions, the same competition, essentially the same dream. But those are not the only things they have in common. His mate is her brother. Her brother is his mate. There are a lot of love songs involved, as cliché as it may sound but what can you expect when you have two of the biggest pop stars in the whole world falling and fighting for one another. However, as I mentioned before, this is not your typical fairy tale. I mean, they have feelings, connection, emotions, pretty much they are perfect together. But guess what, timing's a bitch. tryst \ ˈtrīst \ 1 : an agreement (as between lovers) to meet 2 : an appointed meeting or meeting place ----- most impressive rankings: #1 on #harryedwardstyles #1 on #xfactor2010 #1 on #tryst #3 on #harrystyles #1 on #hstyles #9 on #1directionfanfic #1 on #harryfanfiction #1 on #harryau #1 on #hsauComplete

*Story contains mature content* They always told me that I will become the person they raised me to be but they never mentioned that one day a green eyed creature was going to turn my whole life upside down. - He pulled away from me slowly. "What a pure soul you have, Angel." He said to me while softly moving his finger from my forehead to my jaw. "But why do I have this effect on you if you love him as much as you pretend?" I took a moment to assimilate his words. My brain was running in slow motion due to the effect he was having on me.

Before The End (One Direction)
"I wasn't addicted to drugs. Yes, I liked using drugs, but to call me an addict would be a false accusation. But then, why can't I stop?" Harry Styles seemingly had everything a 16 year old could ever dream of. He was attractive, famous, rich and part of the biggest boyband in the world. His life outwardly appeared to be a straight line of perfection. Then he met Cory Bleu and things changed. Desperate to escape his childlike boybander persona, Harry allows Cory to take him on a dive headfirst into the dark side of the celebrity world that he's been sheltered from. Without warning he's thrust into a life of lies, scandal, sex, violence and especially drugs. Faced with a growing addiction that he can't seem to stop and the unexpected death of someone incredibly important to him, Harry starts to wonder if he can ever get out of the hole he's buried himself in. Can Harry recognize the consequences of his actions before he hurts everyone he loves? *Trigger Warning: Deals with drug abuse, alcoholism, suicide, depression, self harm, sexual abuse, etc.*Complete![It's You [H.S.]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/210030398-256-k151282.jpg)
It's You [H.S.]
[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.
