#1d ot4

[basicshitposts]

Also, I kinda don't want One Direction to reunite. Like it breaks my heart that all 5 of them had to go through so much at such a young age. And especially after Liam's recent interview, as much as I want more content from OT5 (not OT4 sorryy), I really hope they they can live their lives in peace

Secret/supressed omega and OT4/5 werewolf/pack fics

NOTE: Because of the nature of the trope, many of these, particularly the secret omega fics, deal with graphic descriptions of non-consensual sex/rape and manipulation, as well as abuse/PTSD/trauma, drug and alcohol use etc. Quite a few in this list involve polyamory too if that's not your thing. Not all are super angsty, but quite a few of them are; see my particular notes in the list below.

So why do I like these fics? Just a few reasons: I think it's the winning against all the odds theme that runs through many of the darker ones, the total relief for everyone when it's all over; the love of the pack touches something in me about acceptance of different ways to love and live; and the gender exploration in the omegaverse is such a clever way to examine stereotypes in our own world.

AS ALWAYS, READ THE AUTHOR'S TAGS!!

If My Heart Was Mine

One by one they returned to him. From the depths of a raging ocean he’d found Harry, not a ripple of disturbance visible on the surface of the boy who used to be a monsoon. Niall whirled in the wind and a charge in the air, his presence translucent and as prone to whim as his judgment. And despite the biting scorch of Louis’s combustible anger, his temperamental flame still held warmth.

The four of them together after decades of separation should have been grounding, and yet Liam felt like a cave on the brink of collapse, a hollow ache echoing deep through his foundation where a fifth element should have been.

 -

Five mortal men were chosen at death to be tethered to worldly elements. Their bonds to each other deepen over the years they spend loving and living as one. The sudden withdrawal of one irrevocably unbalances the others, causing their union to be destroyed in the chaos. As years pass, the unrest of the elements creates catastrophic natural events throughout the globe, flooding, fires, and earth quakes rising in severity and frequency. The remaining four elements are forced to reunite and seek harmony together, a task nearly impossible with decades of hurt buried between them.

-

OR: Four immortal boys on a cross-country quest to save the world, but first they have to figure out how to save themselves.

I mean Zayn was getting involved in fashion industry before Gigi and after their first breakup too. After that he disappeared I think he went into a bad space and also had issues with RCA. This time around his whole team he had with MOM is back.

Yeah I guess I'm more surprised that it's the fashion/ pop culture magazines and promo outlets he's going for, and not the music ones.

I feel like Zayn is just "known"... like he's known for leaving 1D, being with Gigi, making music... Some sort of household name? Even people who don't keep up with his music career still know him, so long after his 1dxit. His SM stats are reflective of that, and if I remember correctly he's getting good numbers of streams even without any promo.

I guess my point is that he has a good PR team and still has all the right access. He's been MIA for years (NIL barely got promo because of Sony and the timing with covid) and somehow is now on the cover of major magazines, drops in at Fallon, gets on Hot Ones... all of that for a single promo.

It's interesting to observe!

#answered ask #anon #and also unpopular opinion but I'm not sure the few comment he made on 1D are strictly PR bait... #he has the right to have grown and reflect differently on this experience and express that now #pretty sure he would still walk into incoming traffic that set foot in a room with any of ot4 #i would remind louies that louis isn't immune to mentioning 1D and even (cough cough) singing their songs

lilo and narry being the two public friendships of one direction feels like every fanfic au i read in 2013.

[dreamings-free]

It is interesting how Louis and Harry are the only one who kept working with people who worked with them during 1D.

well that really isn’t the case they all have people from back then they’re still working with..

apparently all 5 of them (or maybe not zayn but ot4 at least..) worked with Helene post 1D. and the TPI article seems to indicate that all of them are still working with Sarah’s Kitchen. Niall is still w Modest!, his 1D security guard Basil, and Ellie who was 1D’s stylist after Caroline left.. he’s also still writing with John and Julian.. he’s still represented by SJPR for press. Liam has the og 1D legend Paul Higgins! as his security/travel manager.. he still writes with Jamie Scott. there might be more I can’t remember..

so no I’m not seeing any such pattern of larry vs. the others tbh..

#also correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t john delf 5sos’s sound engineer and not 1D’s ? #anon asks #lt team #lt crew #ot4

Bonus points if you tell me who/what you shipped back in the day (if anyone) (i.e. ziall, larry, ziam, etc)

#I'ma be honest #I don't listen to any of them with any consistency except Zayn and 1D (when they come on shuffle) BUT sometimes I get in a Louis/Niall mood #especially depending on the season #so idk #I guess technically a combination

[twopoppies]

I’m a newer Larrie and pretty naive about the One Direction days because I didn’t listen to that type of music during the time they were a band. I started liking them individually and somehow found myself in this fandom. I guess my question is why do fans compare them constantly? They all came from the same band, they all seem to support each other at least privately if not publicly and appear to be pretty grateful to have had that same experience. I’ve seen some some solo Harry fans really attack Liam and Louis negatively with even comments on their looks. They constantly compare them to Harry and how they’re somehow losers because they don’t currently have the kind of commercial success as Harry. I’ve seen other solo fans also go after Harry for all kinds of reasons too, which is just so sad to see. Was it like this in the band too? Or has this all heightened because they all went solo? They all have different sounds, so why compare them? Am I missing something maybe?

Hi darling. Welcome to the hellhole fandom. So, no. When they were in the band it was actually unusual for anyone to ever voice a dislike for any one of them. People had their favorites, but publicly everyone supported everyone.

1DHQ started the fracture with the constant pushing of Harry vs the band. They really wanted to position Harry as being separate from (and better than) the other guys. Then Zayn left. There were people who were disappointed/angry with him or who no longer cared about his career, so we started having OT5 vs OT4 discourse. Then babygate started and we had the next fracture where people began to think maybe Larry broke up or Louis cheated on Harry. This was when people became houies (people who thought HL has dated, but now has broken up). Then that was followed by the hiatus and Harry/his team pushing the separation of Harry up a notch.

There were still many OT4 supporters until HS1 dropped and then there was a whole faction of people who flipped out over Harry’s lyrics and image not meeting their expectations and I think that was when houies really divided into harries and louies. There were still larries and antis. But now there were also louies who were only interested in Louis and “rad louies” (radical louies) who hated Harry and thought he was the reason Louis’ career was being “sabotaged”. And there were also harries — some of whom hated Louis because they thought he cheated on Harry and some also bought into the idea that Harry was just better than everyone else.

The fractured nature of our fandom really went into overdrive with the popularity of Fine Line and quarantine. Thousands and thousands of people entered the fandom and many had zero interest in 1D. Harry’s het image was in overdrive with Watermelon Sugar and the idea that Camille broke his heart (thus, being inspiration for the album). Holivia, DWD, As It Was, Harry’s House and Harry’s growing fame really made things worse in that department.

It seems as though a lot of Harry’s newest fans see any link back to 1D or his former bandmates as being a step backwards or as the other guys trying to “use” Harry as a way to promote themselves. And until recently, Harry spoke very little about the band and had very little public interaction with them, so unless you paid very close attention, it was easy to think he didn’t care much for or about them. I think many fans do this weird thing of needing their fave to be “the best” — as if that somehow reflects on them, as well. Like, the way many Harries went overboard making sure Lloyd won best tour photographer only because they didn’t want Louis’ photographer to win. It’s ridiculous.

Some of the hatred towards Harry is rooted in jealousy because people feel he had an unfair advantage over the others, thus having a success the others could have had just as well. Some of the hate is people feeling as though he has the power to do whatever he wants in terms of his image and stunts, so he must be fake and only cares about fame and money. Some of it is people buying into the idea that Harry ended the band because he wanted to be a star and he’s actively trying to ruin Louis’ career. There are a million different reasons people send hate his way.

As for comparing the five of them, as you say, they all have different sounds and none of them compete with each other. But I do think Sony very much wants Harry to be the Justin Timberlake and be the only one who reaches that huge level of success. And the media doesn’t help because many of the articles are written in a way that praises Harry and puts the others down (for no reason at all), so fans feel defensive and lash out. I tend to think Liam, Niall, Louis, and Harry all care about each other very much and are supportive of each other. And I really doubt they like the articles that do that nor would they support the nasty way some of the fans behave.

Sorry this was so long. And at the same time, this barely touched the surface, but I hope it helped a little.
