Quiffs & Vests and PRETTY BOYS oh my! - aka Aiden & Matt fic
... confession: I've fallen pretty hard for Matt Cardle and Aiden Grimshaw fic. It usually features Louis/Liam if not all the boys but - there is JUST something about Aiden/Matt that I absolutely adore.
I mentioned something to my Zayn aka shrdmdnssftw and she sent me a couple of WONDERFUL THINGS - one of course by the AMAZING lucy lnr_fics and then .. omg i am so in LOVE with paperclipbitch its not even funny. not. even.
SO SEND ME YOUR RECS!
and here's some of mine...
WOULD YOU BLAME ME (IF I WRAPPED MY WORDS AROUND YOU) by paperclipbitch
NC17 | pining!boys, stupid!miscommunicated!feelings, liam and louis being sexrabbits of awesome!, all the best things ever really... | 13k | matt/aiden (past aiden/zayn) liam/louis
summary: AU. “I’m meant to be writing an album,” Aiden explains, screwing up his face.
read it because of: it seriously might be my favourite thing...
“Yeah,” Aiden says, standing up and letting the daylight flow over his bare skin, “I think I can do that.”
SO SAY GOODNIGHT by lucy of lnr_fics
R | unrequited love (matt/aiden, louis/harry), pining, kissing OH THE KISSING, niall being somewhat oblivious but knowing in that way he ALWAYS does | 10.5k | louis/matt
summary: They're using each other and well aware of it.
read it because of: it's LUCY okay. IT IS LUCY!
Later, Louis smiles and smoothly tells a story about an allergic reaction to some shellfish to explain his kiss swollen lips to Niall, and, from the looks of it, seems to pull it off quite well. Matt would be impressed, but the way Louis shoots him a commiserating smile afterwards sends his heart all aflutter, and he spends most of the rest of the day freaking out about that, instead.

NC17 | pining, first times, (niall/zayn) | 7pt comment!fic | matt/aiden
prompt: Matt and Aiden quiet times in the house
read it because of:
'You're one to talk Aid, really, like. I'm pining? Really?' Aiden's lungs constrict and his fingers itch for a fag. 'So I'm assuming you've told Matt about how you're madly in love with him, and stuff? Yeah?' Aiden knows, consciously, that Zayn is just trying to deliberately be an arsehole but it doesn't stop the way his stomach twists into a knot.
OUR CLOTHES WERE (NEVER) OFF by paperclipbitch
NC17 | ... sex.pollen.fic. | 6.5k | matt/aiden
summary:Now he feels absolutely insane and sooner or later Matt’s going to notice and it’s going to become really, really awkward between them.
read it because of: sex.pollen.fic.
He’s shaking and Matt can see where every inch of him is covered in goosebumps and fuck, this isn’t how he thought he’d see Aiden naked for the first time. There are angry red scratches on Aiden’s hips and it takes Matt a moment to realise that Aiden put them there himself, like he was curling his fingers there to try and hold onto something only to find that there was nothing.

T | ridiculously fluffy wedding themed fic | 4k | matt/aiden (louis/liam, harry/niall, assorted xfactor others)
summary: AU. Aiden is arse over teakettle for Matt, and through a series of not-dates that turn into actual-dates (plus some generous meddling from his friends), he ends up marrying him. Also most of his friends end up getting married. Just an awful lot of marriages occur. And a lot of champagne is consumed.
read it because of:
Aiden glances over to where Louis is leaning back against Liam’s chest, looking supremely content. Liam seems to have been gay all along, at the very least for Louis, and while Louis refuses to tell anybody exactly how they got together, they’re very open about the fact that they are. Liam just smiles secretively whenever anyone asks him about it. Aiden thinks that Louis must have lost all sense of control and just jumped him. Luckily for everyone involved Liam obviously reciprocated, because they are now the world’s most obnoxiously in love couple ever, rather than Louis being slapped with a restraining order.
LIAM/LOUIS BUT FABULOUS MATT/AIDEN IN THE BACKGROUND
YOUR WORDS ALL OVER ME by sky_somedays
R | never will shopping lists look the same again, fluff and angst and pining and romance | 10k | liam/louis, matt/aiden/harry, niall/zayn
summary: AU. In which, a) Liam and Louis are stupidly in love; b) Matt, Aiden and Harry are a sort-of threesome; c) Niall and Zayn are friends with benefits and lots of baggage, and d) everyone buys things.
read it because of:
Aiden knows that Liam doesn’t really approve. Louis acts bizarrely proud, as though his dream has always been to have friends in a threesome. Zayn and Niall have their own problems and Harry occasionally joining Aiden and Matt after a night out doesn’t bother them.

PG13 | pining.. oh god the PINING OF LIAM IS HURTFUL TO YOUR SOUL AND LOUIS IS SO OBLIVIOUS AND MATT AND AIDEN ARE SERIOUSLY THE MOST PERFECT COUPLE EVER ahem.. | 13.8k | liam/louis endgame (harry/louis, matt/aiden)
summary: AU. Zain nods in a way that he probably thinks looks sympathetic, patting Liam’s shoulder again. “How is this your life,” he says solemnly.
read it because of:
Matt’s singing that song that he claims wasn’t written about anyone at all, but they’ve all heard the lines about shared cigarettes and that not-particularly-subtle reference to cardigans, so no one is fooled. Liam can’t blame him. If he was nearing thirty and having a co-dependent and weirdly adorable relationship with a nineteen-year-old, he’d want to write songs about it as well.
ugh basically every SINGLE THING THAT PAPERCLIPBITCH and SKY-SOMEDAYS and PINKFISHNETS have EVER WRITTEN IS JUST DFJDLVKSJVFLVDSJ FOREVER the end.
