Summary
“Harry Styles!”
His name rang out clear through the city streets. He turned quickly back to the bar, startled by his own name and startled by the voice that called him.
Standing in the doorway to the bar, back lit and glowing slightly was Louis.
Not an eighteen year old apparition dressed in the same low slung blue jeans and t-shirt with swooping bangs that was always the image in his mind. No, he was Louis now.
or Ten years ago Harry dropped his best friend and high school boyfriend off at the train station and never saw him again. Now, he's twenty seven, living in NYC, and dreadfully unlucky in love. He can't stop wistfully thinking of Louis promising that they'd see each other again in ten years time. A chance meeting outside a bar has them tumbling head first into a summer of music, milkshakes, and maybe each other.

Summary
A little over a week later, Louis was on his laptop paying a few invoices when he came across an email in the shop’s inbox.
Good afternoon,
I don’t know if you remember me, but I was in your shop a week ago to purchase some pastels. We talked about cherry blossoms and you suggested I go to the Parc De Sceaux. It was just as beautiful as you said it would be. While I was painting, I was thinking about your shop. I don’t mean to be untoward, but are you looking for any summer help? I finish my exams in a couple of weeks and it would interest me greatly to assist and learn your craft.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Harry StylesOr the summer before his last year of art school, Harry secures a job working for Louis, a reclusive pastel maker. He doesn't expect that his planned summer of Parisian debauchery will blossom into something much more.

Summary
Louis blinked and forced his eyes to meet the man’s face, tipping his head to the side, eyes squinting under the harsh sun as he swiped away a bead of sweat near his temple.
Dumbly, he said, “You’re not Fin.”
The other man hummed and looked down at himself. His lips twisted into a contemplative sort of off-center pucker.
“I guess you’re right.”-----------------------------------
Louis' days at the docks have followed the same familiar routine for over thirty years, but when a new captain arrives on one of the regular tour boats, Louis is immediately drawn to the man's neon short-shorts, dimpled smile, and wild curls. Set on Emerald Isle in the 1980s, Louis has spent decades keeping parts of himself hidden, but as he falls for the captain, the knot in his chest finally begins to loosen.
