Summary: As Nick scanned the shelves, his eyes caught on a bright blue binding. Snooki, it read, A Shore Thing.“Oh my God,” Nick mumbled, trying not to laugh as he picked it up. He’d watched bits and pieces of Jersey Shore way back in the day.Without bothering to look any further around the store, he headed up to the counter where Blue eyes was watching him. Nick cleared his throat nervously and set the book on the counter and the man immediately flashed him a look of disdain.“Seriously? Out of everything we have available, you chose the book we special ordered for a customer?”“Well, it can’t be that bad if someone specifically requested it, right?” Nick said, trying to keep a teasing tone.“Why do you think we still have it if it was a special order?” the man asked with a scoff. “They returned it after reading something like three pages.”Nick frowned at the book. “Well that doesn’t seem very fair.”Or the one where Nick is a writer, Louis works in a bookshop, and things don’t exactly start off on the right foot, but they might just end on it.

Summary: He rolls his eyes at himself. It’s all a fucking joke. If he wants to go out with Nick, he should be able to. If he wants to post pictures of his boyfriend on his Instagram, he should just do it. He’s nearly thirty years old and he’s still in the fucking closet. It’s pathetic. And what’s really stopping him?
[Or: Louis Tomlinson decides to come out: a story in three acts.]

Summary:Told backwards in time, we see Nick and Louis get married after going through a difficult time, then we see Louis serving time for dealing cocaine, and finally we see how the two met. So it’s an angst sandwich.
To Fall Down At Your Door

Summary: Nick has failed to pay attention in any of the meetings leading up to him filming a documentary in the Scottish Highlands, mostly because he’s just been dumped and he’s in the middle of some very important wallowing. This does not entirely explain what Louis Tomlinson is doing there filming in the Highlands with him, and it absolutely does not explain why the world’s press seems to think that they’ve just got married without telling anyone.He’s fairly certain none of this is actually his fault, but it doesn’t change the fact that everything has suddenly got a little bit weird.

As he tries to work out what went wrong, Nick falls in love with Louis all over again.

Summary: The call isn’t on speaker, but Nick can hear Harry’s voice anyways, voice ten times higher and panicked. “Have you seen the news?”
