[4 pics, 4 quotes, 4 iconic 1D fics]

Iconic Fics by...

- Layne Faire -

1.

Zayn hesitated just long enough to send the butterflies in Liam’s stomach into a frenzy, then nodded and turned away. He picked up his things, plucked his keys from a bowl on a side table, and opened the door. Quinn looked up at the sound and stood up quickly to follow. Liam grabbed his collar.

“Oh no you don’t, pal. You’re staying with me.”

“Thanks again, Li. I’ll call when I get in.”

“Please.”

The door closed softly behind him, followed by the sound of a car engine turning over. The crunch of tires on gravel slowly faded away, leaving Liam in silence, alone in the house of a man he wasn’t sure he knew anymore, if he’d ever truly known him at all.

2.

“Zayn, you know? He’s so far out of my league, that I figured if I lucked into that, then… well, I’d go with it and damn the consequences.”

“Wait! No! Fuck that, Liam!” Harry’s sudden outburst had Liam staring at him in shock. “Zayn is not out of your league! Who the fuck ever gave you that idea? You’re kind, caring, compassionate, and loyal to a fault.”

“Harry - you’ve just described a labrador retriever.”

3.

“Hey, Louis, it’s Harry... Styles... uhm, Zayn’s friend. And Niall’s, I s’pose. That’s why I’m calling. Niall said you might have a room to rent in your flat and that it’s available now? I need something kind of immediately, not too big, not too expensive. Niall said it could be what I’m looking for. So, uhm, if you’d, I don’t know, maybe give me a call back and let me know if it’s still available and how soon I can come by to give it a look and discuss things with you, that’d be great. I can pay the rent upfront, maybe buy some groceries. I cook, too, if that helps. I dunno. Just... uhm… yeah, give me a call back.”

Louis played the message again, then a third time. He saved the number in his phone, with a simple H to mark the contact, then played the message one more time. Disbelief gave way to cautious elation. He texted a quick reply to Harry that he’d call once he got home, then typed out a swift message to Niall.

Bless you, ya Irish cunt. I’ll change nappies on your firstborn for a month.

4.

Zayn looked up. “I don’t think so. I might be teaching him dance, but it doesn’t negate how I feel about what he does.”

“Saving people’s lives and homes? Of course. Allah forbid he be so selfless.”

“Don’t be an arse.” Zayn settled back in his chair. “He beats people up for fun.”

“That’s a little simplistic, don’t you think?” Doni argued. “He fights in sanctioned boxing matches, under strict guidelines established by the boxing commission. He’s not street brawling after a few pints at the local. That’s hardly the same thing.”

- answers below -

1. Live a Thousand Lifetimes

It’s 2025.

After secretly writing and producing their first album in ten years, One Direction is weeks away from releasing their first new single and announcing a world tour.

With the whirlwind about to begin again, Liam re-evaluates the last ten years - the fame, the money, the people who changed his life forever - and the person who walked away.

2. Untamed Hearts

It could have been the heat of the summer sun; it might have been the silvered sheen of an early harvest moon. If he dug deep enough, Liam could find every reason ever needed to explain away what happened. In the end, though, it all came down to two meddling friends, a touch of Prince, a bit of Keats, and the moon over the ocean. Its a recipe for disaster. Or love. Probably love.

3. Take Your Time

When Harry finds himself in the middle of a messy break-up with no place to live, Louis offers a spare room in his flat. Unbeknownst to Harry, Louis has been infatuated for years. Over the objections of their friends, who know the truth, Harry accepts. Can Louis survive Harry moving into his home…and closer to his heart? Will Harry see what's right in front of him?

4. Shadow Dancing

As a small child, Liam Payne dreamed of being a firefighter. He took up boxing to defend himself from school bullies, but never lost sight of his dream. 15 years later, Liam is set to be the youngest brigade watch commander in his district, and his recent boxing win puts him in line for the British national title - if he can learn to get out of his own way.

Zayn took his first dance lesson at 5, after watching his sister's tap class. At 18, when an injury derails Zayn's dream of dancing professionally, he sets it aside to attend university, but the lure of dancing proves too great to ignore. He becomes an instructor, and eventually, the owner of a small dance studio, where he encourages other dancers to chase their dreams.

When their worlds collide in a cacophony of misunderstandings, Zayn, confronted with his own biases, realizes there’s more to Liam than meets the eye, and offers to help him prepare for his upcoming fight.

While Liam learns to dance, Zayn learns the art of compromise, and along the way, they find each other.

And when tragedy strikes, Liam finds that Zayn’s love will help him face the shadows of his past, and give him the courage to believe in himself and his dreams for the future.

Happy 56th birthday to my beautiful angel, Layne. The funny, silly prankster. The sensitive, charming poet. The nitty-gritty, tell-it-like-it-is lyricist. The friend, bandmate, brother, and son. The ridiculously talented artist. The songbird... the most unique voice music will ever know. Not a day goes by without thinking of you. You are still greatly missed, never forgotten, and always appreciated. Rest easy. 🩵

Why Do We Love...

Demri Parrott

Demri Parrott was one of the muses we knew about later. She was not a childhood idol (like Shannen Doherty or Drew Barrymore) and I think not even a teenage idol (like Jane Asher or Lee Starkey), but she came a bit later in life (like Bebe Buell or Tina Aumont).

[August 1991, by Alison Dyer]

We first new about Demri via the Vintage Groupies Livejournal. It was a great community where all the members created entries for their favourite muses. As usual, the 1960s ladies, the Beatlegirls and the Stones girls were the most popular, but every now and then there were the 1970s baby groupies, and also lesser known women, like Asian girlfriends, or the 1990s babes. And one of them was Demri!

[1992 - Demri and Layne at Rock Candy Seattle in benefit for AIDS]

We didn't know ANYTHING about Demri when a user uploaded some pictures (back then there were always the same 4 photos with no information about the year or the photographer) and a short biography (basically the info about her obituary).

She was the girlfriend of Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley, and an artist and model on her own, very beautiful and creative, and a true shining light according to those who knew her. We were shocked that she died aged just 27 and, as with the other muses, we just started collecting photos of her from the net and looking for more information about her.

[Demri in 1988]

As with all our other muses, we built a little website for her (in a platform called piczo that was very popular back then) and even some of her actual friends contacted me, or I contacted them for information about some pictures (Barbara, Fabiola, Pony, Jack). It was great and a lovely way to keep her memory alive. I think they loved that a foreign girl, who was just a little girl when Demri passed away, now was sharing all her love of her on the net!

[1991 - Demri and Pony Maurice at Volunteer Park in Seattle]

[1992 - Demri and Fabiola H. Gonzalez in Arlington, by Cliff Feulner]

Now we keep looking for Demri's best pictures and the most accurate information about her. We found amazing instagram accounts, facebook pages and tumblr blogs that are keeping her memory alive with respect and no judgement. Even her friend Amber texts me from time to time!

[Spring 1990 - Demri and Layne by Krista Kay]

[Demri by Jack Plasky]

Today, for what would have been her 54th birthday, we wanted to share with all of you, dear followers, how we knew about Demri and what made us love her.

Here we share:

OUR BIOGRAPHY OF HER, WITH LINKS TO AMAZING SITES

HER POSTS IN OUR BLOG

OUR PHOTO COLLECTION HOSTED AT GOOGLE PHOTOS (all the photos have been collected from the net, photographers, details, websites etc are credited when known)

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY DEAR PIXIE STAR - GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
