In Pursuit of the Extraordinary (Zayn/Harry)
Title: In Pursuit of the Extraordinary
Author: blainedarling (ao3)/zaynbastian (tumblr)
Rating: Explicit
Pairing(s): Zayn Malik/Harry Styles (Zayn Malik/OFC)
Word Count: 31,275
Warnings: Minor (non-graphic) violence, explicit sexual content
Zayn is eight years old when he realises that he’s different. Contortion comes as naturally to him as walking does to most people-what doesn’t come naturally is acceptance from people around him. His family find it odd and the children at school think he’s a freak. The closest he comes to acceptance in his time at high school is through his gym teacher, Dave, who teaches him how to train his body and respect his gift; and Harry, a beautifully wild boy he meets by chance at a party who, too, has a secret talent. It’s years before he’ll see Harry again and find a place where he can excel at his talents.
A Zayn-centric story about the struggles of being different or unusual, and finding family in unexpected places.
