    Summary

    Louis Tomlinson works in a soul-crushingly beige office filled with fluorescent lights, passive-aggressive emails, and exactly one broken printer that no one will fix. Unfortunately, his supervisor is Harry Styles: tie too neat, tone too clipped, and apparently incapable of minding his own damn business.

    They hate each other. They email like it’s bloodsport. They definitely should not be fucking in the conference room after hours.

    But they are.

    Now Louis is trying to escape the job, and Harry—who no one even knows is gay—keeps getting in the way. With petty spreadsheets. With deliberately assigned data entry. With his mouth.

    It's fine. Louis can handle it.

    Unless, of course, HR finds out.
    Or Zayn says something.
    Or Harry feels something.
    Or Louis does.

    But really. It’s fine.

    OR
    the one where Louis works in a mind-numbingly beige office, Harry’s his infuriatingly well-dressed supervisor, and they cope with their mutual hatred the only way that makes sense: by secretly hooking up in supply closets, sending deranged emails, and pretending it isn’t the best part of their day.

    Summary

    "This is highly inappropriate Mr Tomlinson".

    "If you were so against the idea, you would have left" he smirks.

    xox

    Louis Tomlinson. England's most successful insurance company owner gets sent to Japan for a massive business deal.

    After arriving and being horrified that the meeting is on the 10th day of his trip... leaving him with 9 days of nothingness, he ends up complaining to a random man at the bar of his luxurious hotel.

    What he doesn't know is that the person he is speaking to is the owner, who makes it his mission to find a tour guide to show Louis around the best parts of Shinjuku, Tokyo.

    Louis is met with a green eyed curly haired tour guide who seems just a bit too chipper and excitable, who Louis only sees as a distraction from his work.

    As much as the businessman tries, he just can't seem to shake away the curly haired ball of energy from his side. Despising his company... or so he thinks.

    Will Louis, the stone-cold businessman turns soft for the curly haired ball of energy?

    What will Louis do when his time in Shinjuku comes to an end?

    Summary

    Louis’ Nan just wants him to be happy, to settle down with a nice boy, and bring him around for Christmas.

    Louis is too busy with his career to bother about relationships, but in an attempt to appease his Nan, he sends her photoshopped pictures of him and his pretend boyfriend, Harry. The fact that the man in the pictures is none other than Harry Styles, world famous Gucci model—and recurrent star of Louis’ fantasies—is irrelevant. It’s not like their paths will ever cross…

    So it comes as somewhat of a surprise when Louis returns home for Christmas and walks into his Nan’s sitting room only to find the real-life Harry Styles happily chatting away with the grey-haired ladies of his Nan’s Crochet Circle.

    Featuring Niall and Liam as Louis’ childhood friends, Harry as the painfully perfect man of Louis’ dreams, Zayn as Harry’s very protective best mate, Louis’ Nan as a well-meaning matchmaker, and Louis as a guy who thinks he’s happy with his life, until a certain someone shows him what he’s been missing.

    Summary

    Louis can’t believe his luck when he is offered one of the easiest jobs he has had as a long-term house-sitter for the wealthy. He loves the money, and the peace and quiet of the empty mansions he looks after. Most of all he likes that there are no surprises until he gets the shock of his life from ex-pop star Harry Styles who isn’t supposed to be home.

    Summary

    Harry's heart clenched. "Darling?" He set his book aside, now devoting his attention wholly to the distressed soul. “What’s wrong?”

    Louis’ mouth attempted to part in a response but before he could, however, the presence of tears rapidly glossing over his eyes provided an answer for him. Helplessly, he could only peer up at Harry, desperation etching its presence in the way his brows were drawn firmly together, along with the delicate flush of his cheeks and nose.

     

    Or the one where a less than kind customer had paid a visit to the lovely corner cafe Louis works at, leaving said boy in a state of distressed tears and it’s up to Harry to mend his wilting heart.
