it's not just where you make your bed
Liam/Zayn, pre-OT5 h/c fic for harriet_vane, a hundred years after it was promised.
pg-13, 4,502 words, untrue.

( Things are thrown slightly off kilter by his injury, and Liam copes as best he can. He lets them take care of him as much as he knows how to, and he tries not to be surprised by how that doesn’t change the promise of change at all. )

h/c, pairing: liam/zayn, fandom: one direction, rating:pg13

This is such subtle, gorgeously restrained h/c, dude, I can't. I am going to need to be demanding so much more of this genre from you, I'm sorry but that's just how it's going to be. DEAL WITH IT. And okay, some parts that especially caught my breath whilst reading:

He sits in silence on the way back, and graciously allows himself fifteen minutes to wallow and berate himself before he turns his focus toward pretending that it never happened. His band don’t need him injured or moping, so Liam decides that he will be neither. Right around where I was like, "Oh. OH. Okay." Not that I didn't already know I was in good hands, but still.

It's just that first shock of forgetting that some things send pain shooting up through his foot, though, and it's a lesson he learns quickly. He huffs something nearly like a laugh and shakes his head and gently shoves them each away, only letting his hands linger over Zayn's for a split second before he's counting them down again and getting it right this time. Such a lovely, important detail, letting ( ... )

And well. There's Harry, choosing bravado. Of course. BUT I LOVE SO MUCH HOW YOU LEAD INTO THESE SECTIONS AND JUST THE STRUCTURE AND CONTENT OF THE STORY BOTH. God.

HARRY: Harry is something special, better at this game than any of them are and only set to get better and better at it as he learns how to accept and reject the affections offered up to him on a plate everywhere he goes.

WHAT IS MY LIFFFE, HOW CAN I LIVE?? “Don’t you dare. We do what we can, right? You for us, and just this once - us for you. Let us, yeah?”

Harry isn’t always serious, although he is constantly relentless. Yes, yes, and some more YES.

MY HEART, MY WHOLE EXISTENCE: Liam answers that he is, and knows that they’re talking about two different things, but he thinks that hardly matters when it all THE ZAYN SECTION, CLO. THE ZAN SECTION. EVERY WORD OF IT. WRISTS AND ANKLES, JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE ( ... )

This was so lovely! I'm a sucker for stories about people who really know each other and this fic absolutely fit the bill. I like how you didn't let the five of them get lost in a mass of friendship and instead let each guy and his relationship with Liam shine in his own way. Liam gets something different from each friend, because each friend is different. That kind of individuality is made even more important by the hints of OT5, because how could you trust in a poly relationship if every person didn't have their own, important place? This fic was as cuddly and comfortable as a story can get and I enjoyed reading it. Thanks!
