Moments of Inertia by alteringegoism

Summary
He was over it. Done with everything. Time to move on and leave 1D and all the bullshit behind, to build the life he's always wanted and become the person and artist he was always meant to be.
But it turns out, changing yourself is about as easy as changing the past. Zayn learns the hard way what everyone else knew all along.
There are a lot of nice, loving fics about Zayn leaving the band. This isn't one of them.

Summary
Where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are true, and unafraid of toil.
Congratulations! Your prefect here, welcoming you to Hufflepuff House. Our emblem is the badger, an animal that is often underestimated, because it lives quietly until attacked, but which, when provoked, can fight off animals much larger than itself, including wolves. Hufflepuff is the best of houses. Don’t let anyone, including those sly Slytherins, know-it-all Ravenclaws, or arrogant Gryffindors tell you any different. Oh, and if someone could convince our very own illustrious Head Boy, that git (though don’t you dare hurt any feelings he may or may not have by telling him I said that!) of the same, it’d be much appreciated. Please and thank you!
Luckily, one Niall Horan, Hufflepuff extraordinaire, is about to take on hard-headed, Head Boy Harry Styles, whether he knows it or not. And isn’t it always better when they don’t?

Summary
Harry accidentally asks Niall to marry him. Naturally, Niall accidentally answers with exactly what he's thinking. And of course the day wouldn't be complete without the rest of the boys weighing in on the matter and tipping the scales straight over into the fiery depths of hell. All in all, it goes about as well as can be expected.

Summary
“The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.” - Carl Sagan
Zayn Malik was born balancing between two worlds: Pakistani and English, traditional and modern, academic and artist, and yet always struggled to find solid footing in either. Then he meets Niall, the bright, new boy with a kindred love of computers and creation who bursts into his life like a shooting star and brings with him colour and warmth and belonging. The world is a darker, colder place indeed when his light is ripped away.
It turns out it's true what they say, that attitudes are contagious. Careful, Harry and Louis, 'cause Zayn's might just end up killing you.

Summary
Because men aren't born, they're made.
A vignette of when Harry met Niall, and one life wound up exchanged for the other.
Depending on how squeamish you are, there are some depictions of violence and blood.

Summary
A series of self-indulgent, lightly researched (just go with it!) one shots detailing the soap opera lives of our favourite lads, if you know, soap operas were harsher, bloodier, and a wee bit less dramatic.
These are the lives of the young and the dangerous.

Summary
Post S5 (AU); canon to the end of S4 & part of the way through S5. Gwen and Arthur have been married for several years, Merlin's magic has been revealed and Arthur has now reached a kind of cold peace with it. Then a delegation arrives from a kingdom based on magic, and suddenly Destiny is starkly and ruthlessly to the fore. The question is should - can - it be avoided?
WARNINGS: One scene may be interpreted as dub-con, infidelity, attempted suicide (magical/fantasy), season 5 spoilers. Angst. Please do not read if ambiguous consent or any kind of force used in sexual situations is a trigger or is distressing to you.

Summary
Post-S4. After enduring Morgana's abuse, Gwaine can't quite settle back into his place in Camelot. When he joins Arthur and Merlin on a trip to hunt down a white, winged, chicken-thieving beastie, he is drawn into a destiny he didn't even know existed. After Merlin's life is endangered at Arthur's hands, Gwaine is taken on a wild ride both figurative and literal. Everything happens for a reason, but it's never the one we think.
Artwork is by the awesome dylogger and can be seen in its entirety here.

Summary
Niall's having wet dreams... about Zayn. It doesn't help that he's sleep talking, or that Zayn's encouraging it.

Summary
In which Niall helps Zayn wind down after a show - at least, that's where it starts.
This was started for obstinatrix because Zayn porn and finished for balefully because Niall porn. I LOVE BOTH YOU LADIES VERY MUCH OKAY!!
Non-AU, except for how Zayn is single and Perrie is clearly off, idk, being in love with Leigh-Anne or something.
