It was Zayn's idea. Maybe if they ganged up, they'd stop getting jumped for being queer.

Chaptered + au + character death + other mature topics (not necessarily smut) 

Note: This is super dark but I'm seriously digging the 50's time period.

Hey there Madeleine here! I have a teensy request for you guys! I have this problem with reading way too many Narry fics, leading to a criminal lack of the other ships on here. Soooo if any of you have a fic that you find absolutely amazing, send it my way!

"You'd be surprised how much us artistic assholes can actually make, you know." he commented finally, looking at Niall. Actually, looking over Niall.

No more hint was necessary.

"Which way is your apartment?"

'When they arrived at the Chunnel, Louis asked if Niall had a passport, and Niall somehow felt like he was supposed to say no – that they were supposed to part here.' They didn't part there, and they still haven't.

See, Harry wants to kiss Niall and Niall wants to kiss Harry, but they're best friends. So, of course, things get a little complicated.

Do you have the one where Zayn is the son of Aprhodite and Liam is the Son of Zeus? I can not remember much except that. It's a ziam one.

I read this a while ago but I can’t for the life of me find it! Anyone?

[thebromancelibrary]

It won't let me look through your tags because my phone is so old, so I was wondering if you could find a fic for me? It was on archiveofourown, and it was Lilo, but read as friendship I think. The summary was about Louis going to stay with Liam over the break (this is based when they were still on Xfactor) and Louis learns more about Liam everyday and they become good friends. Thanks!!!

I’ve been looking for this but haven’t had much luck. Anyone know this fic?

“You’re vampires,” he said suddenly, the words tumbling from his lips before he could stop them. There was a unanimous wince from the four boys as they shared pained glances with each other. Harry opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Niall spoke again. “And now I’m a vampire too.”

  Niall is attacked on the streets of London and left for dead, until a handsome stranger swoops in to "save him", so to speak.

"I'm Niall," Niall says, fidgeting under the scrutiny of this mime. "Have you got a name?"

The mime stops right in front of him and brings his face close to Niall's. He puts his hand over his armpit and pops his fingers out, wiggling them, then does the same over his chest and below his bellybutton.

"Hair?" Niall says.

Oneshot + au + fluff 

Note: Harry is basically just a really bad mime and Niall just really likes him. What more could one ask for.

Omega Niall goes into heat, but it will be hours before Liam, his bond mate, can get home and knot him. Alpha Harry needs to step in before the pain drives Niall insane. Now if Harry can just remember he has to give Niall back at the end of his heat, everything will work out fine . . .

In a world torn apart by the war, Harry's home is a bubble of calm. He isn't the one who's been on the front lines, after all. Niall has, though. They meet under unfortunate circumstances, and conversation ensues.

Or the one where Harry is a civilian and Niall's not exactly a soldier.
