Summary
A prestigious university in London, known for its cutthroat academia and political undertones. Both Harry and Louis are esteemed professors in the English department-intellectual giants in their own right, but polar opposites in personality, teaching style, and personal values.
Harry and Louis have butted heads for years. Their debates are legendary-public lectures where sparks fly, published papers that subtly (or not so subtly) tear each other's theories apart. To the academic world, they are the embodiment of intellectual rivalry. To those who know them personally, it's more than that.
For Harry, Louis represents everything wrong with the academic elite: a privileged man who refuses to use his platform for change. For Louis, Harry is reckless, someone who takes risks he can afford because he doesn't fear rejection the way Louis does. But under all the intellectual posturing, there's always been something more.Bookmarked by Grumpygirl

Summary
Harry and Louis have been inseparable since they were teenagers, best mates but basically married, according to everyone else.
Harry’s been quietly in love for years, Louis is in deep denial about everything, and their friends have a running bet on which one will snap first.
Then Harry finally gets asked on a date and Louis completely, utterly loses his mind.
What follows is slow burn chaos: jealousy, touchy nights in shared beds, protective instincts nobody wants to examine too closely, and two boys trying very hard not to realise they’re in love.
It would be easier if they weren’t constantly wrapped around each other. Or if Louis didn’t hate Harry’s suitor on sight. Or if Harry could stop waking up in Louis’ arms…
But hey, they’ll get there.
Eventually.

Summary
“Hello?” A voice came through, deep and slow. “Hi… my name is Harry, and actually…”
Louis smiled instantly.
“Ah, sweetheart,” he said. “You’re not supposed to say your name.”
There was a sharp inhale on the other side of the line. “Oh. Sorry. Shit. I’m new here, I didn’t know.”
“No, no, no. Relax. You’re alright.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t apologise,” Louis said. “Really, you’re fine. You know my name. I might as well know yours.”
In which Louis is a radio host, and Harry just needs someone to listen.

Summary
"Get the fuck out of my sight Louis".
Louis kept shaking his head and crying.
"You could have at least pretended to care you fucking asshole. For the sake of our friendship that we used to have, for the sake of being a roommate. But I mean nothing to you" said Harry
"No...No please don't say that. You are everything to me" said Louis whimpering.
"Just stop with your lies! They hurt much more than these broken bones" screamed Harry.
"I swear Harry. You are my everything. I can't take this anymore. I will sort things out, I will be there for you, promise" continued Louis desperately.
"Louis, you can go fuck yourself. You can go fuck Eleanor, protect her from the world, for all I care...I..."
"She is nothing. She is not my girlfriend. I swear Harry. It was you, it's you" said Louis inching closer to Harry, holding on to the edge of the bed.
"I don't want to hear anything. I am just...tired... I am tired of you, I am tired of feeling the way I do. I can't..."
"Hazza....please" squalled Louis.
"I hate you Louis" said Harry staring at Louis through his red, wet eyes. Louis knew he was serious.
"Harry.."
"I hate you..."
"I love you" said LouisBookmarked by Grumpygirl

Summary
Louis grabbed the nearest pen like he was considering a murder. “Say princess again, I dare you.”
Harry’s grin went downright evil. “Princess.”
“You’re insufferable,” he hissed. “Actually insufferable. If you vanished tomorrow, I would personally throw a parade.”
Harry leaned in again, chin propped on his hand, dimples in full force. “Cute parade? Pink streamers? Princess-themed?”
Louis made a sound that was halfway between a groan and a scream, grabbed his notebook, and buried his face in it. “I hope you fall in the fountain on your way home. And then get pneumonia. And then fail your finals.”
Harry beamed at him like Louis had just proposed marriage. “God, you’re adorable when you threaten me.”
Or- Louis is just trying to graduate without losing his mind — but apparently the universe has other plans, because Harry keeps showing up in the uni coffee shop, grinning like he’s flirting on purpose (he definitely is). Between coffee shop bickering, campus fair chaos, and way too many run-ins with the man, Louis’ biggest problem isn’t hating Harry anymore… It’s pretending he doesn’t want to climb him like a tree.
or- Louis and Harry don’t like each other. Or so it seems.
