“Do you always take photos of strangers?”
“Um uh, I just take photos of pretty things”
One sunny spring day in London, Harry takes a film photo of a beautiful stranger in the park. He insists that Harry must send him the photo, and together they fall into a whirlwind romance. Butterflies. So many butterflies.
Harry bites his lip, glancing over at him; his eyes are still on the horizon, so Harry lets his gaze linger for a moment. The chill has flushed the tip of his nose and apples of his cheeks pink, and he looks so painfully pretty that it makes Harry’s heart hurt; this close, he can see a few patches of close-shaven stubble Louis’ razor hadn’t quite cleared away, and belatedly it strikes him that Louis must have shaved specifically for this. He’d certainly had noticeable scruff when Harry had been shamelessly ogling at him through the huge festival screens lining the stage earlier in the day.
His teeth sink into his bottom lip to temper the satisfied little smile that blooms at the thought of Louis taking the time to neaten himself up for a night out with Harry, the idea sating the endless pit of need that Louis ignites in him just enough to quiet it for a short while.
or, where Harry is desperately, stupidly in love with his best friend.

Harry Styles accidentally comes out in an interview following the news that his former bandmate (and secret ex-boyfriend) Niall Horan got married to another man. His personal assistant Zayn Malik suggests they lie low for a bit while Harry's agent cleans up the mess. Zayn's even got a suggestion: he has a friend named Liam that is a manager at a bed and breakfast/working farm in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. Once there, though, there's a complication: the owner of the bed and breakfast is a really attractive shifter by the name of Louis Tomlinson, who just wants a quiet life with his daughter Ariel. And, oh yeah, things are awkward between Zayn and Liam, and Louis isn't happy Zayn's staying with them.
A story about five neighbors and friends, each chased by their own shadows and haunted by personal ghosts. It's a story of love, grief, and everything in between.
After the gruesome death of his Alpha, Harry takes over as the Captain of the Rose Arrow. Trying his best to uphold her reputation as being the most dreadful pirate ship to sail the Seven Seas.
With the help of his alpha-quartermaster Niall, he manages to keep his secondary gender hidden from everyone except his most trusted crew, as he operates under his late Alpha’s name. Captain Payne.
Everything changes when his ship is taken hostage by Pirate Captain Louis.
To keep his crew, and himself, alive, Harry must play the part of dutiful Omega who’s waiting for his Alpha’s return.

Harry waits four days before he does anything about it.
The media are still having a field day with it. He stays well away from social sites these days, but people are sending him things. 5 Times Liam Payne Acted Like An Alpha, and Niall, Louis, and Harry - Which One is Liam’s Secret Omega?
Harry plays his guitar. He does his workouts. He reads a book without remembering anything he reads.
