Louis Tomlinson lives the archetype of a successful man: he has a big white house, a gorgeous wife, and adorable children. Happiness is a superfluity, really. And his daughters’ dimpled piano teacher is nothing more than a sinful distraction.

Bitter Tangerine by @daisyharry | E | 119k

Maybe it’s Niall, he reasons to calm his storming heart. Maybe he’s not actually gone for the holidays yet, maybe Harry got the dates confused. Slowly, he holds his breath and pushes the kitchen door open. The first thing he sees make him jump, a wooden spoon held out like a sword. Once his brain processes the sight in front of him, it’s less the sword that gets him than who is attached to the wooden spoon. “Harry,” the swordsmen speaks before Harry can, his voice low and steady though confusion laces each word. Harry’s breath catches. Every string around his heart, all the protection he spent nine months building, rips out and tears open all at once as he says, “Hi Louis.”

Some days, Harry has to work hard to just avoid. He puts on clothes he bought after they were over; uses toothpaste they'd never used together; has coffee rather than tea. He takes the bus to avoid their old car and its familiar, fading smell of his cigarettes and passes the street with the bank because the other way has a flower shop with too many memories surrounding it. Other days, he just needs to relinquish, let go and trust that he’ll be taken care of. They probably shouldn’t be doing this – whoever’s heard of exes with benefits? – but they were each other’s first everything. Kiss. Sex. Love. Louis' the only one he's ever trusted to care for him like that. His body’s not going to just accept that it’s over; his mind much less.

Pretty Please (With Sugar On Top) by @angelichl | 113k

Harry is a sugar baby omega who cons rich alphas for a living. Louis is a rich alpha with too much self-control.

The Florentine Letters by @forreveries | 118k

Oxford University, June, 1935.

The edge of summer has just begun to dawn over the university campus, exams are almost over and the dust is just beginning to settle over the desks.

Harry Styles, in the last years of his PHD study of The Renaissance, has managed to maintain a safe existence within the walls of his books and classes and late night romances. He's made a place that's safe from the expectations of high brow society and the cold stare of his father.

That is, until an all too sharp, all too witty, and all too handsome man walks into his life.

Louis, the cocky man with the smile, brings with him a strange object - declaring that it's a puzzle piece from the one and only Leonardo Da Vinci. He speaks of age old mysteries, and puzzles that cannot be solved without Harry's help. Immediately, Harry is quite literally swept off his feet, and together they take their chances on the find of a life time - Da Vinci's lost works.

But what Louis doesn't mention is the high stakes game of cat and mouse that comes with chasing things that do not belong to you. A game where nothing, and no one, is as they seem.

“I’m being serious, Harry. You’re lovely. If no one, so far, has wanted you for good, it’s because they’re fools,” Louis punctuates with a curt nod and a long sip of her drink. “If that were true, I would’ve had you in my bed a long time ago.”
