Change My Stripes  by  shiftylinguini  / @shiftylinguini Rating: Explicit  Words: 7160 Summary: After nearly ten years of long-distance phone calls, midnight text messages and not a small amount of heartache, Nick’s somehow ended up being the longest relationship Harry’s ever been in, even if they’ve never called it so much.

Cut Flower Life  by  aggresivelyfriendly / @aggresivelyfriendly Rating: Explicit   Words: 6058 Summary: Nick has been asking Harry to this weekend of hedonism for years.

don’t lose what you’ve already lost  by  SeraphStarshine  / @theyellowgrassgrows Rating: Mature   Words: 11570 Summary: Harry’s heart is beating so fast he can’t think over the noise. He doesn’t want to be in love with Nick - can’t be, really. He thought he’d come to terms with this years ago.

Hate To Admit It, But  by Jiksa / @jiksax Rating: Explicit   Words: 4384 Summary: “I’ll watch,” Nick concedes, scooting back against the sofa. He draws one knee to his chest to hide how hard he is, how much he wants this despite how much he doesn’t. “I’ll watch you fuck your girlfriend.”

Six weeks and one faded California tan later and Nick’s heart has gone full-blown supernova. Harry’s back in London and Nick’s about to learn the tabloids have got one particular aspect of Harry’s life all wrong.

fasHUN  by silvered_glass / @silveredsound Rating: Explicit   Words: 18957 Summary:  A few years ago, Aimee and Nick had the wild idea to launch a fashion retail website; fasHUN. It’s become utterly massive, and here they are, years later, at the head of an international fashion (and financial) empire, when all Nick had really wanted to do was to find an easier way of sleeping his way through the male model population of the world. Well, now he’s a sort of serious CEO always on the brink of a meltdown, especially with Aimee going on maternity leave for a few months and his E.A, Gillian hiring a way-too-charming, way-too-clumsy frustrated fashion writer moonlighting as a personal shopper named Harry Styles to help her deal with Nick’s schedule (and Nick.)
