The Murmur of Yearning by MediaWhore @mediawhorefics

Length: 93k

Four years ago, Harry Styles was forced into a marriage of convenience to enrich and ally both his and his promised’s families. The sudden, and slightly suspicious, death of the Marquess of Haxshire, however, brings great disturbance to Crescentfield Hall and, as his late’s husband’s closest male relative, Harry unexpectedly finds himself the head of a family he never felt he belonged to. Between a meddling distant cousin hellbent on inserting himself in Harry’s life, his wicked and mistrustful mother-in-law and his late husband’s advisors refusing to help or take him seriously, Harry struggles in the fight to keep what he’s earned and make the Estate finally feel like home. Luckily, he doesn’t stand completely alone and finds himself an unlikely ally in Mr Tomlinson, the elusive Land Stewart who has been taking care of the property in the shadows for years. Louis Tomlinson is caring, patient, and unlike everyone else, he doesn’t seem to think Harry committed a murder.

“What a pretty little thing!” a voice cried, catching Harry's attention.

Harry looked up, assuming it was a merchant talking to Gemma or some other “citizen” of Bethlehem, but when he did, he found a woman with bright eyes and long dark hair walking over to him.

“Me?” He wasn’t sure what to expect from any of this since she wasn’t a merchant he had met before.

“Yes, you! I think you’d make a very good husband for my son. Are these your parents?”

“Uh, yes?” Harry said, almost like a question. Robin and his mom just watched on with amusement, much to his chagrin.

Turning to Anne and Robin, the merchant woman said, “I’ll give you six goats for the marriage of your son to mine.”

Or every year, Harry and his family attend a church festival called Bethlehem. Harry's freshman year of high school Bethlehem expands, bringing in new vendors, including one that just might change everything for Harry. But first, he has to see if Anne and Robin are willing to part with him for the price of a few goats.

He didn’t pause to think of the consequences, darting forward the moment a piercing screech left Louis’ mouth as he was swept up, entrapped by ropes and leaves hanging from a tree branch.

“Don’t move,” Harry warned him, afraid he would end up hurting himself.

Louis eyes opened wide towards Harry’s direction. It wasn’t recognition or relief that Harry met, but fear and confusion, as Louis realized that the creature standing in front of him, as he was hanging upside down, was not human and looked nothing like one.

Harry is a goblin living in the woods, entirely enthralled with a human named Louis.

Louis Tomlinson is a contemporary dancer who never thinks he’s good enough, even though his best friend Zayn keeps telling him otherwise. Harry Styles is probably the most famous contemporary dancer and he’s looking for someone who’ll dance to his new choreography. And Louis tries. And even though he thinks he doesn’t stand a chance, maybe Harry will see something in him. And maybe he’ll stay long enough to try to show Louis that perfection is him. But, the question is, will Louis start believing him or will he stay in his shell, never breaking free?
