Title: draw back your bow
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: R.
Length: About 14,000 words.
Characters/Pairings: Niall/Louis.

Summary: Niall is a cupid who takes his job very seriously. He's grateful for all the help he gets from his friends and from his own magic. But what happens when he gets a name without any hints? Will he be able to figure out Louis Tomlinson's love match, and, possibly, find his own love in the process?

Notes: Big thanks to onthehill for looking this over, to annemari for cheerleading, and to annemari and fiarra for all the Nouis support this year. Special thanks to the lovely mods of 1dsummerbang for running the fest and giving me a reason to finish! It's always nice when I can finish stories I've been writing for nine months.

Notes about the story: there's alcohol/drinking. In terms of secondary pairings, there's background Harry/Nick, Harry/Zayn, Zayn/Perrie (it's knowing v-shaped poly), and Liam/Sophia.

Title: a river for a soul
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: NC-17.
Length: About 1800 words.
Characters/Pairings: Liam/Harry.

Summary: That's what's strange about getting off with one of your mates after years of friendship. You know things.

Notes: Taking my cues from none other than One Direction themselves, it's the middle of the night, and I'm sharing stories I've been sitting on! This is the first of two stories I wrote months ago, and I don't know why I never posted this one, but...I didn't? Until now, of course.

Thanks to onthehill for being so great about checking over my random stories. Anything off is my doing.

Title: My Light is Electric
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: NC-17.
Length: About 23,000 words.
Characters/Pairings: Louis/Zayn (endgame), Louis/Liam, Louis/Harry, Louis/Niall.

Summary: Alphas aren't just meant to be ravished, and that's as important a lesson as just how fun ravishing can be.

Louis hates being an omega sometimes, but he can cope. His alpha bandmates are happy to help him break his heats, and he's happy to help them through their first heat or knotting experience. Everyone wins.

Falling for his one other omega bandmate, on the other hand, isn't something Louis's prepared for.

Notes: Written for 1D Big Bang. Make sure to check out the great mix by Bohemu here!

Special thanks to the wonderful onthehill for looking this over, and to the mods for putting the whole thing on.

Title: Like Portia and Ellen
Fandom: One Direction/Radio 1 RPF
Rating: NC-17
Length: About 10,425 words.
Characters/Pairings: Harry/Nick.

Summary: "Did I agree to move in with Harry Styles?"

In 2020, Nick's done with the Breakfast Show, moving to LA for his new job, and ready to be a proper adult. Mostly.

Notes: Note about content: there's non-explicit talk of vomit in the story. For spoilery info on some of the canon used for this story, see the end notes.

So many people helped me with this story! Thanks to:

-Hllangel: your prompts were not only perfect and very helpful, but they fit and fleshed out an idea I already had and wanted an excuse to write. (Also, it was really hard to keep this quiet on Twitter. ilu ♥)
-onthehill: Champion beta and Britpicker who got this back to me on Christmas Eve. I took some creative liberties with the Briticisms - I figured Nick in this version of events would be familiar enough with the US to use "freeway" instead of "motorway", for instance - so any changes/errors are mine.
-Everyone involved in wrangling this challenge/creating the collection/etc. It's been a blast!

Title: Those Meddling Kids
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: NC-17.
Length: 2000 words.
Characters/Pairings: Zayn/Louis.

Summary: Zayn likes to watch the street from his own windows when he can. He likes it even better when the street watches back, and Louis's the only one to know it.

(Or: Zayn and Louis hook up in the Mystery Machine.)

Notes: Written for the in public square on my kink_bingo card. Because I keep watching the video where Louis and Zayn see their van for the first time, so why not, right?

Title: (Climb a Ladder) Up to the Sun
Fandom: One Direction
Rating: NC-17
Length: 3265 words.
Characters/Pairings: Liam/Louis.

Content notes: ( Contains spoilers. )

Summary: Louis is dizzy with what he's unleashed. Not that there weren't hints on the X Factor tour, but the Liam from a year ago would not have stripped down in front of him and asked him to "talk sexy", all matter of fact.

Five times Louis gets Liam off with his voice (and one time Liam returns the favour).

Author's notes: Written for the "dirty talk" square on my kink_bingo card. I basically wrote an outline of the story in content notes form, just to be safe - check above to read them.
