THERE’S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF

Not Rated - 6.3K - Ex’s to Lovers - Reunion -

Friendship, Romance, Little Angst, Happy Ending

It's been five years and Niall Horan is getting married to the love of his life. He's in the midst of writing out invitations and planning the wedding of his dreams, but realisation soon hits and Niall decides to break the radio silence, summoning his four best friends. He refuses to walk down the isle without his lifelong friends at his side. Though, it's not that simple, despite the ambience of a fun fair and ice-breaking strategies. Niall has the best intentions at heart, despite the plotting and scheming, because Harry and Louis have been romantically estranged for half a decade.

Can one night change everything?

1D Song Fest - Info, Rules, Schedule

Song Fest is back!

For round one, we had some lovely fics based on songs from One Direction’s extensive track list.

For round two, we’re going past One Direction and beyond—the sky is the limit!

It is estimated that there are over 200 million songs in the world, so the possibilities for fics are endless!

All the info you need is below!

Rules

What are the restrictions on which songs can be picked?

The song must have lyrics. Instrumentals are pretty, but we want fics based on the words of a song!

A recording of the song must exist somewhere online. Now what do we mean by “a recording”? Basically just a link that will allow someone to listen to the song. This could be Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, TikTok, anything, as long as it links back to an audio of the song.

The song does not have to be officially released or professionally recorded. There are plenty of awesome songs out there that never made it to air, but they’re still inspirational! These are allowed as long as there is a recording of it!

The song does not have to be full length. There are a lot of indie artists on TikTok who have teased a quick thirty seconds of a song. If that thirty seconds inspired you, you can use it as the basis for a fic.

One Direction’s and the boys’ solo songs are also allowed.

What will prompts look like?

When prompt submissions open, you can submit songs along with a specific prompt, or you can just submit a song by itself. For example, prompts may look like this:

Based off of the song Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran - Louis is older and has grown apart from his four best friends from childhood into his early twenties. He finds himself reminiscing on the good times, and he decides he wants to track them down and see if he can organize a reunion.

A Larry fic based off of the song Paper Rings by Taylor Swift where Harry is the song’s narrator.

A fic based off the song Treat You Better by Shawn Mendes.

You can be as creative as you would like when coming up with prompts and writing fics. You can follow the song very closely or just use part of it for inspiration. As long as the relationship to the song can be identified, you can come up with whatever you’d like!

You can write any pairing or even no pairing as long as the fic contains at least one of the five boys—Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, and/or Zayn. Girl Direction, smut, omegaverse, polyamory, and trans characters are all allowed if you wish!

This fest is for people 18+ only. The fics will not be moderated, and any content is allowed to be written as long as it is appropriately tagged on AO3.

There is no minimum or maximum word count requirement. You can write multiple fics, but please make sure you can handle the extra load. Co-writing fics is also allowed.

Your fic title does not need to include the song title or lyrics that inspired you, but it can if you want it to!

Having your fic betaed is preferred but not required.

Please only submit completed fics. If you need to drop out or you would like an extension, please send a message to let me know. I understand that things can happen.

The fest is not anonymous, so feel free to share snippets and other fun WIP posts. Tag @1dsongfest if you want me to share your post!

Communication about the fest will happen on Tumblr instead of email, so keep an eye on your messages after you sign up. You can send asks or private messages with your questions, and I will be happy to answer them for you!
