Random Fandom Week 1 [One Direction, Larry]

I have rules in my head. Do not read fics about real people (yea, like I listen that one so much these days). Do not read anything too kinky (I actually listen this one most of the time because it destroys the whole thing in my head). Do not read Star Wars fanfiction (like never, ever kinda deal and I'm so sticking to this because Star Wars is holy and you do not sin it). And the rest of the rules are kinda minor but those are the lines I do not cross. But when I do, I decided that I need a tag for that and then I came up with Random Fandom Week where I use one week of my life just reading fics from one fandom. One fandom I have never read fics from before.

So. I have tried to read a couple One Direction fics before but not actually from the beginning to the end, more like "ou this sounds interesting and then it wasn't after all that good", so yea. And I have to admit (after spending this one week reading this stuff) that there isnt that many fics I like in this fandom. Probably most stuff that disturbs me in these fics are lack of knowledge in some things.

Like for example in one fic (can't remember the name, probably never even finished reading it) there was comment how one of the guys had played the Skyrim through. And lets just be clear about one thing, Skyrim is a never ending video game, you can't just play it through in four days or what the fuck ever, you just don't do that. And FYI there are video games besides FIFA, just ask google. And then there were some other stuff like that.

But if we ignore my nerd side and some other minor things that bugged me, the fics weren't all total shite (I kinda loved all the British words). So here goes the top 5 (+ 1) that I liked.

Please notice that I only spent one week reading One Direction fics so I didnt get that far with the paring/fandom and I kinda just took one of the most popular paring and went with the flow so yea. (some of these can also be one of the most popular fics there are but fuck it, I don't know anything about anything, so fuck it.)

Enjoy the first and probably the last post about 1D fics from me.

Up To No Good by whoknows

Harry doesn’t think of himself as a womanizer, not at all. Sure, he enjoys sex, enjoys how women feel underneath him, and by some people’s standards he has sex with quite a lot of people, but that’s no reason to tell him that he can’t have a female PA anymore. 
It’s especially no excuse for giving him a male PA who’s possibly the most gorgeous boy in the world who won’t even let Harry look at him for too long. 
Sometimes Harry hates his life.
Oneshot and long as fuck. But one of the best fics I have read in a long time. This also felt so different than the others in this fandom so this really earns the first place in top five fics I have read in the 1D fic world. I probably should recommend this to you even if you are not that much into the fandom/paring/whatever. Yea. Maybe. But good none the less.

[Louis/Harry, lots of other minor parings, NC-17]
The One Direction PR management team decides that Harry needs to get married. Harry doesn't want to. Louis comes up with the perfect solution to the problem.

I have no idea about normal 1D Larry fics (seriously, I have only read like less than 20 of them so yea) but somehow there seems always in the end to be kids, like a lot of them. Maybe there is somewhere some kinda explanation but whatever. This just made me smile all the time and shit like that. (also there seems to be a lot fake boyfriend fics, what is up with that thing ?)

Let the Words Fall Out by pertunes
[Louis/Harry]
It’s not a thing, he decides. It’s not going to be a thing, because his ears have been ringing for months and so what if some days he feels like he’s straining to hear what even Niall’s jabbering on about.
I don't know why I chose this to be one of the five fics even when this is good and I liked how everything was beautiful in a really painful way.

[Louis/Harry, Zayn/Liam]
Pirate AU. That's it; that's the summary.
This was just so smooth and pirates makes everything just so much better. Okey. But seriously. This one was probably the first one where these two didn't end up happily together (there was hinting how they are gonna meet again and stuff but they didn't get together). And I wanted something different to my top 5 list anyways. He.

the one with the phone by lissomely
[Louis/Harry, NC-17]
What’s worse than being woken by a call from your mum the morning after a big night? 
The answer, as Harry is about to learn, is ‘being woken by a call from someone else’s mum the morning after a big night. 
or, the one where Harry 'accidentally' takes Louis's phone home after a party and then there's sex.
And we need some porn to end this One Direction thing. Yup. I actually had one other fic in my mind for the porn part of the list but that thing was long (like 50 000 words or something) and I didn't have the energy to finnish reading it. I also don't think its fair to you to promote a fic that I haven't read through so yea. We are gonna take this one. And there is also a plot which is a huge bonus.

And then the +1 that is some kinda trend in fic world right now or something like that.

The Wall by Rory_Croft
[Louis/Harry]
For as long as Harry could remember, he had been in love with Louis. He had always been able to keep his feelings in check, to maintain their friendship, until Louis went off to University and started dating Liam. With the realization that he might actually lose Louis, Harry is forced to confront his feelings for his best friend.
Hmm.. We need one cliche, sad lovestory and shit. And this is that. Fills the part perfectly and yup. Thats it.

So yea. Now I have gotten this fandom out of my head and probably never gonna return (at least I don't see any reason to return) but feel free to leave to comments links to other good 1D fics. Yeaaa. You are welcome. Thanks.

(what have i done)
