Twist of Fate by @freakingmeout28 / freakingmeout
Some marriages don't start with loveā¦
When his parents tell Harry that they expect him to marry Louis Tomlinson he's more than just against it, he hates them for thinking it would magically solve all his problems and make him their dream son.
Louis on the other side isn't keen to marry someone like Harry either, but since it's his only way to save his family's name, he goes for it.
Against their own will they get married and are sent on a honeymoon together where they don't have a chance to avoid each other.
Their marriage doesn't start with love, but while Louis helps Harry fighting his alcohol addiction they find something in the other that they both needed. Through trials and tribulations, their bond strengthens, transcending the confines of tradition to blossom into a profound love story of resilience and redemption.
A story for the 1D I Do fest, a very free interpretation of the following prompt:
Arranged marriage, enemies to lovers, preferably larry, forced proximity. Sent on a honeymoon but itās at the room in the Maldives thats in the middle of the ocean only accessed by boat. Featuring sharing of beds, secret pining, awkward morning wood, arguments but you cannot escape the other.
Guess WhatĀ by @elmeiko88 /Ā Elmeiko88
Harry should have done a better job of checking out the restaurant where he had decided to get down on one knee.
We Should Be Shooting For Them Stars Of GoldĀ by @babyhoneyhesltĀ / babyhoneyhslt
To make his dream of becoming a tour photographer come true, Harry reluctantly agrees to marry his annoying ex.
Louis Tomlinson might be a big name in the music industry, but his reputation needs some polish.
Neither of them expects this to end well, but maybe a two week honeymoon in the Maldives can change everything.

āSo why donāt we just shag?ā
āLike what? Like an enemies with benefits kinda shit?ā blue eyes lit up in amusement, āIs that even a thing?ā
Harry shrugged.
āIt could be.ā
āBut they always end up married when that happened in movies.ā Louis made a face, clearly disgusted at the idea.
āDonāt worry Louis,ā Harry said, shaking his head in amusement. āIām never ever gonna marry you.ā
āTrust me, the feeling is very mutual, Styles.ā and then, āYouāre only like an advanced sex toy.ā
Harry laughed at that, a genuine laugh.
āLook at that.ā he elbowed him, āWeāre already agreeing on something.ā
Or - Prompt 2 / āItās funny how I said Iād never marry you but here we are.ā
he bought a ring (and he found the one)Ā by @thefootnotes /Ā whateverthecalamity
All Harry has ever wanted was the big white wedding with someone he loves; and he thinks heās finally landed on it. That is, until a certain pair of bright blue eyes are looking up from the back of the chapel. Or the one where Harry Styles is looking for marriage, Louis Tomlinson is looking for closure, and both find something unexpected.
If I could FlyĀ by @super--noahĀ / SuperNoah
Just around the one year anniversary of their fake getting back together date, and what most people believe is their three year anniversary Louis has planned to pop the big question for real. It's his first evening off in several weeks and him and Harry had a date night planned. Plans change when Louis returns home to see Harry looking stressed about going out. Even if the evening has a few more non-happy tears than planned, the question is asked and answered.
Which is how Harry and Louis ends up spending the summer holidays arguing over colours and food choices. Disagreements, hardship and tears eventually leads to I Do's and more, but very welcome, tears.
