1. “What scares you the most?”

Shane blinks, turning her head to face him. “Um…  Well, losing the people I love most. That terrifies me actually.”

Niall’s arm brushes against hers. It’s innocent and hopeful. “I’m one of those people, right?”

“Don’t be silly,” she says, almost breathless, because in a world without Niall, her life would be dull and wrong. So, so wrong. Shane nudges him back, a little harder, hopes it will tell him so much more than just a yes, always. “Of course you are.”

2. There are three things of which Brynn is absolutely certain: imagination and creativity are themost attractive qualities in another, wine tastes best from a mug, and all good things inevitablycome to an end.

3. There’s a beauty in adventure that Delilah absolutely adores, the passion for travel running rampant in her veins since she was a young girl. It’s why she loves her job. She sails the high seas for half the year and spends the rest exploring the land and its wonders. Lately, though, she’s been craving intimacy, but not just from anyone. A certain blue-eyed boy has caught her attention, but he’s got too much on his mind to notice her.

An AU about cruise ships, the people who work on them, the beauty of the sea, and the magic of the stars.

4.  Blakely Ruth Hyland hated clichés. Absolutely despised them. And she knew she was looking at one; a boybander with brown curls and dimples who caused the death of teenage girls all over the world with his voice and charms, dressed in colour schemes with his band mates. It was absolutely laughable. 

She was a cliché too though. The wild daughter of a rock star legend who had grown up partying too hard and now wanted to become a model. That too absolutely laughable.

In a world where someone like him should stay away from someone like her, and she should ridicule someone like him, that became the last thing they did. In a world where they shouldn’t be connected to each other, they instead became best friends. Who were going to be together. One day. 

Until then, it was to be their little secret.

5. According to Harry Styles, when two people are meant to be, they should find a way to be together no matter the distance or whatever obstacle there is in between. Of course, when said obstacle is called Claire Jones, things are a bit more complicated, that's why Harry is always there to give a little push to the two people who have been blinded for too long.

But is Liam Payne really going to leave his fiancée standing at the altar? In other words, will he realise who his true love actually is on time?

This is the story of the reunion of two good friends for the groom's wedding and the different interpretations of the definitions of the words love and relationship. Or the one where Harry is a cool Anglican priest that tends to stick his nose in other people's business.

6. Things went sideways when Mom’s restaurant finally closed.

I was something close to a wreck, those first few months. No one ever tells you how excruciating it is, being in one of life’s in-betweens. It was like I’d been plunked right back into that brief period when I’d considered what to do after college and I had no idea. Lucky for me back then, Mom’s need for help at the restaurant arose, Harry came into the picture, and I had an easy escape from the dithering of indecision.

This time around, I don't have it so easy.

7. hey girl, you've got a smart way about you.

Harper didn't expect to have the summer she was thrust into when her parents announced their divorce and her father cancelled the annual Lane Family East Coast Adventure. But a last minute decision to stay with at her best friend's family's inn may have been the one to change her life.

A story about photography and friendship with a hint of mystery.

(a dirty dancing au, of sorts)

8. July Montgomery is practically Emerald Pools Water Park royalty and that’s how she likes it.  She wears her tan lines like battle armor and doesn't let anyone forget that she's the head bitch around.  Nothing is gonna ruin her summer.  

But then Harry Styles shows up in his tiny swim trunks and fucks everything up.  Simply put, he’s beautiful–all dimples and shiny, white teeth and ‘yes, ma’am’s and ‘no ma’am’s and she thinks she’s in trouble because he just might be the one that shakes her from her foundation.  

A lifeguard AU about sunscreen, the status quo, and trying to figure out why Harry is so damn good at swimming. 

9. Charlie Holland’s place of employment is...societally unconventional, though that's not to say she doesn't enjoy it. But when the new boy, Niall Horan, comes in, he has certain expectations about working in a sex shop and plans for his life. Charlie'll just have to show him that expectations are meant to be defied and that the best-laid plans of men often go awry.                      

Featuring adult block parties, too much sexual tension, and a guy named Bug.

10. “He tells me it’s a blessing: two good looking kids on the run, time bomb ticking in our trunk.I don’t think he knows what blessings are.”

An apocalyptic story about laser guns, a radio station, and a notebook with a cat in a flower pot on the cover.

11. In 1920s, Prohibition-Era Chicago, Aria Fiorelli is young woman with flapper ideals and a dream to be a doctor. Her father is more traditional and refuses to pay for a woman to take on a man's job, so Aria jumps at the chance to work with a small-time con artist Louis Tomlinson to make a few bucks and save up for school. Unfortunately, the job is to seduce Harry Styles, Chicago's most notorious mob boss who runs all the illegal alcohol and gambling in this town. Aria soon finds herself over her head in her quest to play the long game on Styles, with only the help of Louis' ragtag band of Liam, Louis' best friend and bodyguard; Zayn, Styles' slighted bookie with revenge plans of his own, and Niall Horan, a corrupt cop with a good heart but troubled home life.

12. Riannon Verbeck knew that it wasn’t the best time to move. 

It was the middle of the semester and the string of rental posts on the Facebook student page had dwindled to none. But between her moody housemate who sleepwalked into her room and launched pillows aggressively, the sleazy landlord who always asked if she preferred other methods of payment, and the sound of perpetual sex in the boys’ suite attached, Riannon announced to her mother that she was leaving and would live on the goddamn street if she had to. 

Fortunately, Harry Styles had just gotten off the phone with his cross parents. The verdict was clear: find a roommate to split the rent, or no Stradivarius violin. 

It isn’t long before Ri and H find themselves under the same roof, casual acquaintances who think one another agreeable enough. They split the loft cleanly in half -- his space, hers.

But for tonight, there is only one bed. They just might have to share it.
