Summary
The dregs of his drink were almost cloying on his tongue when he downed it, and as he swallowed, he cut his eyes to the right. Across the pub, sitting at the bar, was a man that had Harry's eyes squinting.
Mostly gray hair, tousled into a messy fringe, a sharp nose, and thin lips around the rim of a pint glass. Harry almost spit an ice cube across the room.
He was almost certain, nearly sure, sixty-five percent at least, that that was Andrew's dad.
It's nearly Christmas and Harry is single and third-wheeling at a pub when he thinks he sees his ex's dad. If he wasn't a little tipsy, maybe he would have been able to keep his mouth shut.Bookmarked by StainedSmile

Summary
A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox.
Good afternoon,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Harry StylesOr the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.

Summary
It’s surprisingly easy to ignore a crush when there are meetings to attend, deadlines looming, and an entire office full of people to hide behind.
At least until an office party makes it impossible to deny the fact that Harry might not be hanging around Louis’ desk for work-related reasons after all.

Summary
The captain looked back at Louis, and for a second their eyes met. Up close, his were an even colder green than they had seemed from across the deck, sharp and unreadable beneath the crossing scar. Louis had just enough time to think that trying to look harmless was probably worth the effort.
Then the captain said, flat as anything, “Throw him overboard.”
The words hit Louis like a blow and for a heartbeat, nothing happened. The crew stood shocked in the sudden quiet, boots shifting uneasily against the wet planks.
“EXCUSE ME?!” Louis snapped, outrage shooting through him so fast it burned straight past caution.
Or- Louis always knew he was different. Mostly because normal people do not make the sky lose its mind every time they have a strong feeling.
Then his father betrays him to the king, the royal guards come knocking, and Louis runs for his life, only to accidentally end up on a pirate ship, because apparently things can always get worse. Now he’s stuck with a crew of chaotic alphas who think hygiene is negotiable, a scarred captain with a personality to match, and the growing suspicion that the royal dungeon might actually have been the less stressful option.

Summary
“Hold on— what did you say?”
Zayn heaves a sigh. “I should’ve known you weren’t listening. I said half-seven works best for Harry and should also mean we miss the dinner rush folks.”
“You invited Harry?”
“Yeah? Obviously we invited Harry, Lou. He’s Niall’s flatmate.” Zayn’s tone drips with how blatantly fed up he is with Louis. “Can you play nice for literally two fucking hours? I still don’t know why you hate him.”
Blinking, Louis turns fully to face his flatmate, alpha cringing in his chest. “What? I don’t hate him."
Zayn fixes him with a flat look. “Sure, alright.”
or
written for this prompt:
Louis is a soft alpha, but he acts very tough and has difficulties with letting people in because of past occurrences. Harry is also an alpha who is a hopeless romantic that has difficulties with finding someone because people expect him to be the big spoon and the tough one since he's an alpha but he's actually very soft and likes to be taken care of.

Summary
“Well,” Harry says, still smiling, “it sounds lovely here. I… think I’ll like it.”
Louis arches an eyebrow. “You should,” he says. “Seeing as you’ve booked the room for a whole two months. I briefly assumed you might be a serial killer looking for somewhere quiet to bury the bodies.”
Harry snorts. “I could still be a serial killer, you know. You’ve just completely ruined my element of surprise.”
Or- Global phenomenon Harry Styles just needs a place to hide for a few months; instead he gets a charming inn owner named Louis who treats banter like a love language, locals who might be running a small cult (jury’s still out), and a sheep named Bernard who adopts him as his emotional support human. Harry came to disappear, but instead acquires chaos, increasingly unhinged drama, and the deeply inconvenient problem of falling in love.
Or- a rom-com in a chaotic small town.

Summary
Harry Styles is in the middle of a whirlwind tour when he gets dumped by his boyfriend of six years. Reeling and surrounded by chaos and a handful of meddling friends, the last thing Harry expects is to be wooed by a foul-mouthed football star who happens to be the king of Manchester's - possibly the whole of England's - hearts.
Louis Tomlinson is vying for a spot on England's World Cup roster for the first time in his career. It would be a hell of a lot easier to focus on football if every journalist wasn't asking him why he was at a popstar's concert in the midst of training. All Louis wants is a World Cup win. He ends up with a whole lot more.
[or: Harry's fresh off a break up when the media starts shoving a romance that does not exist down his throat, and the throats of everyone in the entire world. When he starts chatting with the footballer stuck in the middle of all this with him, Harry ends up experiencing something he'd never anticipated, and certainly had never felt before]
[OR: the unnecessarily long AU inspired by taylor swift & travis kelce]
