Title: Half Agony, Half Hope Author: asphodelknox Rating: Explicit Pairing: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles, Liam Payne/Zayn Malik, Niall Horan/Gemma Styles Word count: 132K Summary:

Harry had never believed the rumors of the beast at the manor on the hill. They sounded like something from Twilight or an old Hollywood horror film, a beautiful man who turned into a beast once a month and killed anyone who was unlucky enough to be stuck on the manor’s grounds. Yeah, right. The manor was probably just creepy and old. Besides, it’s not like he had anything else to do. Harry's had enough of his shit year. Had enough of his shit ex and the fact that he graduated from university with no idea what to do next or what to do with the grief. Ed dares him to spend a month at the crumbling Tomlinson manor, and Harry goes cause what else do you do when your life's fallen apart? It's not really haunted anyway... is it?

But then a car wreck prompts them to finally have a conversation.

Christmas works its magic, Harry pines, Louis fonds, and they just might make it.

Title: Ideal: An Advent Story Author: asphodelknox Rating: NR Pairing: Louis Tomlinson/Harry Styles, Liam Payne/Zayn Malik, Niall Horan/Shawn Mendes Word count: 35K Summary: All Louis wanted was some god-damned time to write his novel. He didn’t expect to move his and Liam’s entire production of a Christmas variety show to a small inn in Vermont just before the holidays. He didn’t expect to save Niall’s inn. He didn’t expect Liam to fall in love. He definitely didn’t expect to fall in love himself. And he certainly didn’t expect it all to feel so much like a Christmas movie.

Oh hell. There’s a lot of things Louis didn’t expect. 

A White Christmas au, complete with drama, fluff, choreographed dance numbers, and idiotic boys falling in love. Just your typical Christmas fun.

Title: Call Me Darling, Call You Dear Author: asphodelknox Rating: Mature Pairing: Thomas Barrow/Richard Ellis Word count: 19k Summary: He hadn’t written to Richard yet… it had only been a week since Richard had returned to London and the King and Queen had carried on and Carson had returned to retirement and Thomas got his office back. He didn’t want to seem too eager… Richard had kissed him, Thomas hadn’t even initiated it but still… Thomas felt his old fears lingering in the shadows of his heart. He’d learned his lesson about initiating contact with other men. What if Richard regretted it? Regretted him?

He took a deep breath and opened the envelope, sliding the letter out, unfolding it carefully. A slanting, purposeful script greeted him, two pages, front and back, all for him, apparently. Thomas gulped and settled in his chair to read.

Thomas and Richard fall in love through letters and Thomas find safety and home in a surprising place. Just pure, unadulterated fluff.

Title: My Heart Lies With You Author: asphodelknox Rating: Mature Pairing: Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson Word count: 31k Summary: “What did you hit me on the head for?” Louis said. He tried to frown, but it hurt too much. Plus it was hard to frown at someone taking care of him so tenderly. “I didn’t hit you on the head,” Harry said calmly, moving from Louis’s forehead to remove some bandages on his arm. “My friend Niall, the God of Death, hit you on the head.” “Well, why did Niall hit me on the head?” Louis asked. He noticed his lips hurt too, and felt a small gash on them. His arms were covered in scratches and cuts, and as he moved to sit up, he winced at a pain coming from his waist. “What the hell happened to me?” Harry sighed. “Niall… can get a bit… excited.” “Was he excited about hitting me on the head?” “No!” Harry said. “Niall just got away with himself.” “Does he do that often? Get away with himself, I mean?” Louis asked wryly. “Only when an idea gets stuck in his head that he can’t get out.”

For being the God of Death, Niall has a habit of acting on ideas without thinking them through. It's probably why Harry ends up with an unexpected but entirely welcome visitor in his bed the day after a Mount Olympus party.

Title: Gem and the Hunters: The Treasure of Babylon Author: asphodelknox Artist: neon--diamonds

“Were you so sure I would say yes?” Louis asked, already knowing the answer. It was impossible for Louis to turn down the chance to spend an afternoon discussing history and research, especially with people who knew it as well or better than he did.

“You’re my best friend, Louis Tomlinson. I know you better than you know yourself.” Niall pointed at him. “You say losing Babylon was terrible and you’re right, it was. But you wouldn’t turn down a second chance.”

Louis rolled his eyes at his friend. “What makes you say that?”

Niall just grinned. “You’re too curious.”

-

Louis Tomlinson wished for one thing his whole life: to find the ancient city of Babylon. After one failed attempt, he swore to never again attempt a search for the city. His friend, Niall Horan never pushed the issue, but when his family finds themselves in trouble, Niall’s only option is to convince Louis to try and find Babylon again.

Niall enlists the help of two famous treasure hunters: Harry and Gemma Styles and their friend Liam Payne. Harry and Gemma love ancient cultures as much as Louis and would give anything to find Babylon. Liam is just along for the ride, running from a shade in his past.

The five embark on the adventure of a lifetime… and find much more than any of them bargained for.
