🍴Hash Brown, Egg Yolk, I Will Always Love You by LiveLaughLoveLarry @loveislarryislove (1k, G)
Niall is a regular at Harry's hole-in-the-wall breakfast diner, coming in almost every morning. As such, he feels uniquely qualified to opine that another regular, Louis, would be a perfect match for Harry. He doesn't realize they're several years ahead of him on that.
🍴 Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover by lovingstheantidote (6k, E)
Harry laughs. He actually giggles until Louis sucks behind his ear and surprisingly turns that giggle into a little moan. And oh, god, does Louis want to make him do that again. “Pasta shape, Harold. Sure you’ve got one yeah?” More tiny breathy kisses. Warm air on Harry’s long neck. He feels Harry smiling as he switches sides. He thinks about all the other long parts of Harry’s body. Will he get to touch them, get to suck them too? or Louis is infatuated by the hot new pasta chef. He gets so much more than just dinner.
🍴 I Feel Like I Wanna Sing When You Do Your Thing by loulousmiles @loulousmiles (8k, T)
“Oh, you were watching me, were you?” Louis said with a comically arched brow. “Well, um…” Harry was back to stammering, Louis feeling a strange pride in already having figured out how to fluster her. She noticed as a look of resolve settled on Harry’s features. “Yes.” Harry cleared her throat. “I was restocking my pineapple pandan buns after the first morning rush when I heard a great laugh coming from across the way, and when I followed the sound I saw it was coming from your truck, from you. And I thought, ‘She—um, they—seem like someone to get to know.’” __ In which Louis, owner of a taco food truck, and Harry, co-owner of a bakery, are both vendors at the same northern Michigan summer farmers market. Told in four timestamps during the summer when they first meet.
🍴Retiens la nuit by TeamLouis (26k, E)
Everything is too much for Harry. His exboyfriend, his job, his whole life actually. Flying across the globe to find a quiet place for Christmas holidays is exactly what he needs. Among a warm cottage and snow-covered fields, he doesn't expect to come across Louis, the beautiful stranger that stumbled into his house one night. Love isn't supposed to find a way to his heart, but Christmas has its magic tricks, hasn't it?

Small town restaurateur Louis Tomlinson needs someone competent to work in his kitchen. Chef Harry Styles needs a job.

🍴 promise your whispers are mine by lightswoodmagic @lightwoodsmagic (94k, E)
Harry’s the head chef at Azoff’s Catering, and he loves his job; the opportunity has always been more than he could dream of and he’s proud of the food he creates. Until he meets Louis, an event coordinator rising through the ranks with his own company, and who reminds him of the dreams he once had for his own career. While their easy friendship initially thrives in an industry known for chaos and betrayal, they soon discover they both have their secrets, and maybe it’s too late for either of them to try to find happiness outside of their work. Especially when they realise that their happiness might rely on each other.
