Summary
WILL COMPLETE PRE CHRISTMAS
---
“Woah,” Louis says in fake shock. “Would you look at that, a sweater! How original!” Even so, he immediately gets up and pulls off his current sweater and puts on the new one. It’s light blue, because Harry had known what he wanted. It’s a beautiful sweater.
“Maybe some year I’ll design and knit you one myself,” Harry says, only half joking.
“Seriously?” Louis says, his eyes shining. “Is that a promise?”
Harry can’t stop smiling. “Yeah. I promise.”
“Hey, Harry, can you make us all one, too? Can you make mine extra fluffy?” Niall asks from somewhere off to the side.
“No,” Louis answers for him, pushing the sleeves up as he reaches for a slice of the cake Harry made. “Only me.”

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
It’s Harry’s first holiday season since he opened the little bakery at Astor Square and according to his best friend Zayn, he is hopelessly unprepared. With the start of the local Christmas market right around the corner and an already hectic schedule, Harry really can’t afford to get distracted.
Then again, neither can Louis, who is in the middle of directing rehearsals for a winter musical with his drama class and promised his colleague Niall that he’d focus all of his energy on the musical.
But you know what they say: promises are like pie crusts — made to be broken.

During his first semester at Boston University circa 1989, a shy, socially awkward Harry meets a kind, outspoken Louis. In an attempt to show Louis how he feels, he creates a mixtape of songs.
