  Build a nest for us to sleep in by blackwayfarers (Liam/Louis) **

Summary: "It'll be fun," Louis tells Liam quietly. If it was anyone else's break-up, Louis would know exactly what to do, what balance of fondness and foolishness he'd need to give, but he's totally lost with Liam. Louis has no idea what he might need, what could make him feel better, so in the end he gives Liam the only thing he has: "We can order take away and play videogames and fuck about for a few days. I'll get Harry to bring us groceries, we won't even need to leave the house. Come on, Liam, come live with me."

  Merrier the more by Misprinting (Harry/Louis/Liam)

Summary: Zayn’s protests that he never wants to know anything about their sex lives, ta very much are cut off when Louis turns back to Liam and says, “So, babes, fancy a threesome with me and Hazza later?” and puts his hand on Liam’s knee, squeezing it. Liam looks like he might have a stroke.

Notes: AU

  Now you tell me by xxcaribbean (Liam/Zayn)

  Odd one out by Suzie Shooter (OT4, OT5)

Summary: For the prompt of "Four of the guys are bi/gay/flexible and gradually start to build up an OT4 sexual relationship, but it feels wrong to do it without the fifth member (your pick) who is completely straight (or at least believes he is).
