Summary
Harry sat up, looking down at Louis with a glint of something in his eyes.
“Let’s make a promise,”
Louis cocked his head.
“Of what?”
Harry smirked at him.
“Let’s promise not to change.”
And Harry didn’t need to explain any further. Louis didn’t understand it, not really, at the time. Because it’d been hardly a week of the lot of them even knowing one another really, and they hardly knew anything about well… Anything, yet. But Louis knew there was something in it. And to be an arse, he raised his pinky.
“No changing,” Louis said. Harry dimpled, wrapping his pinky around Louis’.
“No changing.”
It was a first of many of their own little personal promises to one another. And the first promise the both of them had broken.
---A story of broken promises, broken hearts, terrible communication and two boys in love, always searching for greener grass.

Summary
In the X-factor house, week 1 of the competition, Harry finds his infatuation for, obsession with, hopeless desire for, one Louis Tomlinson, deepening rapidly. Harry almost over his head now, out of his depth with it.
If only, if only they could find space, time or ideally both, to explore the connection, find intimacy, cement this into something, before Harry's very heart gives out from the stress and anxiety of the wait, the tease, the almost.
When finally they connect, Harry learns (to his bliss)...'kisses are everything' until that is, Louis opens his eyes, just a little further.

Summary
Harry is beyond excited to have the boys all staying at his, as they prepare for the X-factor competition in earnest.
Time to practice, time to bond, time to explore his fledgling connection with one Louis Tomlinson (and not necessarily in that order).
Harry, tentative but knowing what he wants. Louis, beautiful, beguiling, but hard to bloody read - Harry finds him.
As their 14 days together unfold, Harry realises, he could never have prepared himself for this rollercoaster of emotions. Worst, he is so far from the driver's seat...
(This is a prequel to ‘Boys on the Stairs: Love Unfolds’ but reads as a standalone too).

Summary
They were never just friends, not really. From the X Factor house to world tours and secret nights behind hotel doors, Harry gave Louis everything—until Louis gave it to someone else. Years of almosts, heartbreak, and late-night mistakes follow, until one of them finally lets go. And the other has to decide if it’s too late to say what should’ve been said all along.
This is the story of almosts, of songs unsung, and of what happens when the person you shattered is the only one who’s ever really known you.
Spanning 2010 to 2020, inspired by “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart,” this is the slow, aching unraveling of a love story that never had a chance, until now.
Or: When Harry and Louis hit it off back in their teenage years at the X factor, they start something that will consume them both for the next decade. Harry just wants to be loved out loud for who he is but Louis is too scared to do so until they are behind close doors. After being led on for years, harry decides to walk away just when Louis realizes what he has been missing all along. Will it be too late for their love?

Summary
May hurt Peter where she knows it'll last. Peter makes the rash decision to run away and enters a competition. He never expected to get this far.
The summary sucks because I'm only posting the first two chapters to see if anyone is actually interested.
I never left my One Direction phase. Born a fangirl, die a fangirl. With the passing of Liam, the obsession has only gotten bigger, I feel like it's 2013 again and I'm sitting on my bed after school looking through Tumblr and Twitter.
