august fic rec
I've decided I'll try to have a fic rec every month and since I obviously haven't read all the good fic I'd love it if you could rec some of your favourites that I've missed in the comments. Especially this month!

by the cracks of his skin by alittlebitmaybe | r | harry/louis/liam, zayn/niall |warnings: self-harm, off-screen minor character death, lots of drug (ab)use and underage drinking, an inordinate amount of swearing, and maybe other things, i don't know | skins au |
He nudges Louis’s shoulder with his bare toe and there’s nothing, no response at all and Liam wants to leave him there, passed out and drooling in some stranger’s flat god only knows where, no money to his name and missing half an eyebrow and his trousers, because he’s had to deal with this too many times and he’s been to the clinic to sign Harry out too many times and he’s snuck Niall out of his house and he’s fought guys off of all of them in various states of debauchery and wastedness and he’s fucking done, really.

Harry always kisses everyone, until he starts something he can't finish. (a university au in which no one goes to class. I am noticing a trend)
the shape of tomorrow by matchsticks_p | r | zayn/danny (riach) | romance |
The only thing Zayn knows for sure is that long after everything else is gone, Danny will still be there.
don't let the high go to waste by mentalistecbm | nc-17 | louis/eleanor, louis/harry (side liam/zayn, important louis/zayn friendship) | no warnings | au |
orange stands for vitality and endurance. orange ignites sparks, and red has always been a catalyst for it. orange means finding happiness, and that is exactly what this is about.
inception!verse by an anon on the one direction kink meme | pg-13 | harry/louis | warnings: oral sex, light come play, harry's fucking mouth, mention of barebacking, mention of anal, americanisms, harry's fucking mouth | fill 2|
prompt: In which they are literally partners in crime. They're travelling on a train for some reason (maybe they're there to steal something important or.. yeah) when the police get a tip-off that they're on the train. Everything happens pretty fast, and Harry and Louis end up in the train's bathroom. Harry's convinced that the police'll bust them where they are, but Louis drops to his knees, whispering something to Harry about being extra loud. Because the police have no knowledge of a relationship, they'll immediately assume it's not the two of them.
Just, uh, I'll give you all the cookies in the world. Seriously. <3

they're just five girls and the world's too big for them all to understand - things happen and drugs and drink can make those things seem like they've stopped.
ocean sequence: it's bad religion, to be in love with someone by wildefiree | r | liam/zayn, harry/louis | warnings: au, language, drug abuse, infidelity, angst | part 1 of 5 in the ocean sequence |
you’re my religion. you’re all i’ve got.

ocean sequence: super rich kids with nothing but loose ends by wildefiree | r | harry/louis, liam/zayn | warnings: au, language, drug abuse, angst, infidelity | part 2 of 5 in the ocean sequence |
“show me a hero and i’ll write you a tragedy.”

state of flux by likecharity | nc-17 | One Direction/OFC, with strong OT5 undertones (particular focus on Harry Styles/Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik/Liam Payne | warnings: group sex and a bit of open voyeurism/exhibitionism |
This girl has brought to light something none of them has ever really questioned before, something about their claustrophobic closeness that has always made people curious for reasons they never understood. Maybe they just assumed it was normal, in their own private, confusing little five-person world, but-maybe it's not.

So, I know not all of these are from August, but that's when I've read them so it sort of counts? Even though I haven't commented on all of these, it's only because I've had a very hectic month, I'm sorry, just know that I loved them!
If you want me to remove or change something by you on the list, just send me a message or comment and I'll do it asap!
