Once more, with feeling by Kili_M / @kilimiria Rating: Explicit Words: 11518 Summary: Nick has to confront his difficult feelings when he runs into Harry at a posh countryside hotel on his way to Liam Payne’s wedding.
A Very Difficult Pose by goseaward / @goseaward Rating: Explicit Words: 5305 Summary: It’s the Met Gala, and it’s camp. Harry should probably admit in public that he isn’t straight.
like ships in the night by wishforwishes / @wishforwishes Rating: Explicit Words: 8884 Summary: Nick’s excuses, year by year.
i look like all you need by alwaysenduphere / @rainbowslinkyy Rating: Explicit Words: 4650 Summary: Harry’s sat with his feet dangling in the pool when Nick finds him, face flushed from the heat and probably a bit from the drink, as well. He looks really good, frankly.“We keep meeting in these places,” Nick says, trying for a casual ‘how’s the weather’ type opener on someone he hasn’t spoken to or received text message responses from in at least a month. or; a selection of half finished conversations and poolside confessions.
Five Weddings by emulateharry / @emulateharry Rating: Mature Words: 5040 Summary: Harry and Nick used to date but broke up amicably. What happens when they attend five weddings over five years.
Queer as Fuck by sullenhearts / @clumsykisses Rating: Explicit Words: 9445 Summary: Harry - aged eighteen (and a half, thank you) - is just emerging on to Manchester’s gay scene when he meets Nick Grimshaw - local DJ and media darling. They have good chemistry and excellent sex - but is it enough?
Better Than Ice Cream by aggresivelyfriendly / @aggresivelyfriendly Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Words: 5574 Summary: Their love was short and sweet. The question is if you can put dropped ice cream back on the cone?
LOVE ME, PLEASE? by thewellrestedone / @the-well-rested-one Rating: Explicit Words: 44076 Summary: Harry Styles and Nick Grimshaw have an unexpected weekend alone in New York City. Harry seems to want to work things out between them, but Nick’s not convinced that’s such a good plan.
Change My Stripes by shiftylinguini / @shiftylinguini Rating: Explicit Words: 7160 Summary: After nearly ten years of long-distance phone calls, midnight text messages and not a small amount of heartache, Nick’s somehow ended up being the longest relationship Harry’s ever been in, even if they’ve never called it so much. Harry’s ready to stick around for a while now. It’s not quite as easy as he’d hoped.
Cut Flower Life by aggresivelyfriendly / @aggresivelyfriendly Rating: Explicit Words: 6058 Summary: Nick has been asking Harry to this weekend of hedonism for years. It’s the first time Harry’s been able to make it, and he’s arriving hat and bouquet in hand. It’s also the first time he’s uninvited.
don’t lose what you’ve already lost by SeraphStarshine / @theyellowgrassgrows Rating: Mature Words: 11570 Summary: Harry’s heart is beating so fast he can’t think over the noise. He doesn’t want to be in love with Nick - can’t be, really. He thought he’d come to terms with this years ago. He needs Nick in his life too badly to risk losing him, and Nick had never wanted romance or a boyfriend. Now he does though, which means Harry might be too late already. Or the one where Nick finally seems to have found love with someone who isn’t Harry and he’s fine with that…or he’s trying to be.
Hate To Admit It, But by Jiksa / @jiksax Rating: Explicit Words: 4384 Summary: “I’ll watch,” Nick concedes, scooting back against the sofa. He draws one knee to his chest to hide how hard he is, how much he wants this despite how much he doesn’t. “I’ll watch you fuck your girlfriend.”
Supernova by Writcraft / @writsgrimmyblog Rating: Explicit Words: 5266 Summary: The bright, Harry-shaped spot in Nick’s heart faded, like a dying star. Six weeks and one faded California tan later and Nick’s heart has gone full-blown supernova. Harry’s back in London and Nick’s about to learn the tabloids have got one particular aspect of Harry’s life all wrong.
fasHUN by silvered_glass / @silveredsound Rating: Explicit Words: 18957 Summary: A few years ago, Aimee and Nick had the wild idea to launch a fashion retail website; fasHUN. It’s become utterly massive, and here they are, years later, at the head of an international fashion (and financial) empire, when all Nick had really wanted to do was to find an easier way of sleeping his way through the male model population of the world. Well, now he’s a sort of serious CEO always on the brink of a meltdown, especially with Aimee going on maternity leave for a few months and his E.A, Gillian hiring a way-too-charming, way-too-clumsy frustrated fashion writer moonlighting as a personal shopper named Harry Styles to help her deal with Nick’s schedule (and Nick.)
