Summary
Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are fashion stylists at the top of their game—and the bottom of each other’s patience. Louis is loud, messy, and allergic to authority. Harry is disciplined, poised, and inconveniently gorgeous. As rival stylists at Modern Edge—the fashion magazine everyone wants to work for and no one survives for long—their job is to stay out of each other’s way.
Unfortunately, their boss has other plans.
Forced to collaborate on the most important project of the year, Harry and Louis find themselves caught between deadlines, aesthetic clashes, and unresolved tension that neither of them wants to name. What starts as a creative standoff turns into something far more complicated—and the lines between rivalry, friendship, and something else entirely start to blur.
A slow-burn workplace romance about clashing styles, creative chaos, and two idiots trying very hard not to fall in love.

Summary
"I'm not pretending," Louis spits out. "I care about Mina. Unlike you."
He tries to hold eye contact, but holy fuck , Harry’s blown-out pupils make it nearly impossible. It was almost frightening.
"Really?" Harry challenges. "You're not?"
"No."
"No?"
The slam of Harry's hand against the doorframe sends Louis' heart right to his throat.
"Then why do you keep looking at me like that?"
His eyes snap to where Harry's arm meets the side of his head, realizing he's caged him in completely.
"Like what?" He swallows.
Harry grins.
"Like you're trying really fucking hard not to."-or-
Louis knows his place: serving at The KettlePot, nodding along to Mina's plans for his future, and never questioning why none of this feels quite right. Then he meets her insufferable, arrogant, mate Harry. He should hate him. He does hate him. But hatred isn't supposed to feel like this. As Louis finds himself drawn deeper into Harry's chaos, he learns some lies are easier to maintain than others, especially the ones he's telling himself.- Language:

Summary
There were very few people who managed to get under Louis’ skin as effortlessly as Harry had, and even fewer who had done it in only a day and a half. It was quite an accomplishment, really. They’d only interacted a handful of times and yet Louis had the insatiable desire to slam the locker into that frustratingly well-defined face that never seemed to hold any expressions other than contempt and arrogance.
“That’s right. I do own the skies. And you wanna know why?” he sneered. Without his boots on, Louis was a fair bit shorter than Harry, his eyes pretty much level with Harry’s chin and his socked toes bumping into the boots of the other man, close enough that Louis could make out the tiny scar on Harry’s brow and the individual shades of emerald in his irises. He was handsome, but that only made Louis hate him more. Heart thumping heavily against his sternum and his hands balled into fists, Louis lifted his chin defiantly and plastered a coldhearted smirk across his lips. “Because I’m the best goddamn pilot here.”

Summary
A prestigious university in London, known for its cutthroat academia and political undertones. Both Harry and Louis are esteemed professors in the English department-intellectual giants in their own right, but polar opposites in personality, teaching style, and personal values.
Harry and Louis have butted heads for years. Their debates are legendary-public lectures where sparks fly, published papers that subtly (or not so subtly) tear each other's theories apart. To the academic world, they are the embodiment of intellectual rivalry. To those who know them personally, it's more than that.
For Harry, Louis represents everything wrong with the academic elite: a privileged man who refuses to use his platform for change. For Louis, Harry is reckless, someone who takes risks he can afford because he doesn't fear rejection the way Louis does. But under all the intellectual posturing, there's always been something more.Bookmarked by trabo

Summary
Who could have guessed that Harry’s entire FBI career could hinge on his ability to convincingly swing around a stripper pole without braining himself?
Harry stands in front of the pole, his back still to Louis, and takes a big breath. He just has to hope it’s not obvious from behind that he’s completely freaking out. He closes his eyes and tries to listen to the music, letting his heartbeat match the beat.
(Or the one where FBI agent Harry Styles screws up in a mission and he has one more chance to save his career. He’s going undercover as a stripper to investigate a strip club suspected of money laundering. There’s just 2 problems: 1) Harry can’t dance, and 2) he might be falling for the club’s owner Louis, who just happens to be the prime suspect).

"So let me get this straight. Am I going there to investigate or to be the bait?"
"Listen Louis, you are one of the best profilers. You know how to search and find clues where others fail, you are meticulous, stubborn and I trust you" Niall replied, almost reaching the limit of patience.
"And I'm gay" Louis added with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
The irony of fate.
"And you're gay" Niall repeated. "You are the perfect agent."

Summary
Louis shouldn't have brought out the tequila. Or the beer.
Above all, he shouldn't have invited Harry into his house. Because now there's soft music playing in the background, like always, and Harry’s splayed out on his couch easily, staring up at the ceiling, and it looks like he’s always belonged there.
“You're so drunk,” Louis says after Harry passes him the tequila and Harry snorts, then giggles.
“Haven't gotten this drunk since I finished the record.”
Louis flinches a little at the mention, but tries to school his expression into something motionless, something void of any feelings.
“The record,” he slurs a little, and he knows, somewhere deep deep down where he still feels rational, that he shouldn’t be asking it, “is it about me?”
Harry huffs a dry laugh, then takes a long sip of tequila, only wincing a little bit when the liquid hits the back of his throat, probably. “What’s not about you?” He shakes his head, then adds, quietly, “anything I do is for, because, or about you, Louis.”
or, the one where Louis breaks Harry's heart, Harry breaks the Internet and together, they learn what it means to trust again

Summary
"That's really sweet of you, Louis," Harry started, and Louis was sure he picked up on some condescension in Harry's tone– purposeful or not. "But I don't do bands."
And there it was, again. The way Harry said 'bands' as if he was above the concept. A strange tightness began to twist in Louis' chest, which wasn't so much caused by the rejection as it was the grain of judgment he was perceiving. "You don't do bands, huh?" Louis retorted, mimicking Harry's emphasis. A new sharpness was evident in his attitude. "What is it that you do, then?"
Harry met Louis' eyes again, unfazed by his sudden challenge. A mischievous grin tugged at the corners of his lips. "You, maybe."

“Look, this doesn’t have to be the end of the world-”
“Oh but it fucking is,” Louis said, shaking his head. “How the fuck am I going to tell Matt I’m pregnant with a baby when we’ve not had sex in months? He might be a bit thick sometimes, but he is gonna know there’s no chance this baby is his.”
“You don’t have to, uh, tell him it’s mine, right?”
Louis scoffed. “Why, are you scared he’s gonna come and kick the shit out of you?”
“He wishes,” Harry laughed, looking back down at the test. “Shit, I … I can’t believe this. Louis, I didn’t mean for this. Honestly. It was just sex for me. We have great sex, and I didn’t see why I should have to turn that down, not when you clearly wanted it as much as I did. I didn’t want this to end in a baby.”

Summary
No one knows that legendary Harry Styles is an omega. The record label, the fans, and even his family have no idea, leading to a very isolated and very lonely life for Harry. He knows it's for the best. Otherwise, he'd never have the career he wanted and he contents himself in the knowledge that he's not the only one. But when Harry injures his voice during a performance, his manager hires a new vocal coach to help put him to rights. Cue Louis Tomlinson, the sweetest, sexiest, kindest alpha in the world, stepped right out of Harry's dizziest daydreams. While Louis tries to figure out why there's something so incredibly un-alpha-like about 'Alpha-King of Pop' Harry Styles, Harry is busy trying to control his omega's undeniable urge to throw himself at the object of his infatuation.
Amid an accidental misgendering, getting slick in public, tour bus snuggles with awkward boners, and unprovoked drops, Harry will have to choose whether he wants to keep living a lie for the sake of remaining in the spotlight or if he'll sacrifice everything to be with the man he loves... Assuming Louis ever comes back.
