Summary
Louis was the first one down the row for their group. If he hadn’t been they would have never met.
He was turned around, walking backwards and saying to Liam, “No, I’ll get you to a real footie match next,” when he bumped into someone.
“Oops,” Louis laughed, tripping over his own feet. A hand curled around his upper arm as he nearly fell over the seat in front of him. “Sorry about that, mate.”
He turned around, still teetering in his vans, to apologize again, but the words dried in his throat. Another hand gripped his other elbow, steadying him, but all Louis could see were green eyes and dimples.
“Hi,” the man laughed, a bright, bubbling sound. “Are you okay?”
Or Louis is in his first year of law school, Harry is a junior on the swim team dreaming of the Olympics, and they both agree that they don't have time for anything more than friends with benefits... right?

Summary
The summer is an engram of particular moments now, hazy episodes that play behind Harry’s eyes as he drifts off to sleep with an arm holding him close. All of those days of summer will blur together soon, but Harry will always remember them in his senses. They’ll be coconut-scented sunscreen and burnt cinnamon toast, grass stains on knees and flour-streaked hair, blue raspberry tongues and citrus sticky fingers, sunshine freckles and soft hands, warm tan skin and seaglass eyes. Harry will always remember those days of summer as the time he fell in love with Louis Tomlinson.
But he doesn’t know that yet.
AU. Harry is Louis' soulmate but Louis isn't Harry's - it takes Harry a while to figure it all out.

Summary
“I can see you don’t believe me,” Harry says, pretending to be stern. Louis chuckles a little but doesn’t get out of the bed. “Anyway, I texted Liam and told him you’re with me. He said to stay here as long as you need, and he’ll deal with the show over there until you want to come back, all right?”
Louis doesn’t say anything again so Harry whispers, “Just stay here with me for a while, yeah? I’ll take care of you.”
Louis is quiet. He never picks his head up, but Harry can see the pillow move from where he’s nodding and his fingers tighten around Harry’s. “Yeah,” Louis says. “Yeah, all right.”

Summary
Merlin didn't really expect it to take five Knights, two old men, a woman and a horseshoe for his plan to work, but then again the extent of his plan had been more along the lines of an adamant 'I'm not in love with Prince Prat (except, really, I am)' than an actual plan.

Summary
“The birds told me.”
There was a brief silence.
“The birds.”
“The birds,” Harry confirmed from beneath his red hood, “And the squirrels, but they’re all liars so I didn’t believe them.”
“All squirrels are liars,” Louis repeated faintly.
“Well, not all of them. Just most. It’s not nice to generalise.”
An Arthurian Legend/Faerie AU based on 'The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle', wherein Louis is a Knight of the Round Table and Harry is not what he seems.

Summary
“Cheers,” Louis managed to say without choking. He took a long pull from the cup, aware of the way that the boy's eyes were scorching along his skin. Maybe he wouldn't have to look too far for that shag after all. “So, what brings a lovely lad like yourself to a place like this?”
The boy laughed, dimples deepening and his head thrown back. Louis wanted to leave love bites all along his lovely throat.
Jesus, dick, you think you can calm down a minute?
“Looking for any fit, lonely boys in need of a drink,” he answered, making Louis nearly choke again. He was still grinning, full pink lips stretched wide with it. That certainly didn't make Louis think about how those lips would look stretched around his cock, nope. He had more class than that. “And I kind of share a flat with Ed, so.”
Or, the one where Harry and Louis hook up at a party, but is it just a one-night stand?
