Zayn Malik

Not just cute cuddles and sweet kisses, some 1D fanfic is adult, dark and seductive. t2 cranks up the heat...

Slash: Slash in fan fiction means same-sex love. Here the 1D boys are mostly paired with one another. Louis + Harry and Zayn + Liam are the most popular couples. And their love is not just bromance but sexual too! The boys praise each other’s physical features, peck, touch and go all the way. Some of it is, er, very explicit.

Cold Trilogy: If you’ve loved Fifty Shades of Grey, you’ll surely have the hots for the Cold series (written by “Malikuntland”). Based on E.L. James’s bestselling erotic romance, the Cold trilogy has Zayn as a rich, hot guy opposite “normal girl” Victoria Greene, who works in a cafe. The story revolves around Zayn, a control freak with “a past” who craves sexual relationships to fight stress. It’s racy, romantic and very, very sexual.

Celeb pairs: Here the boys are paired with other hotties from real life. Like teen sensation Ariana Grande and Harry Styles. The story not only focuses on Harry and Ariana but also features Zayn’s fiance Perrie Edwards and Louis’s girlfriend Eleanor Calder. Some of the stories seem so real that they actually make you wonder if they could be real-life couples! But often the mushy stories have a twist, like another bandmate having a crush on the same girl or Harry’s ex-girlfriend and pop star Taylor Swift landing up, causing heartbreaks and sadness. High romance, but doesn’t fight shy of hot sex either.

Other world: Here the five boys are not 1D band members. Some stories travel to the future (like the year 2439) where Zayn is the king of a province, while Harry is Lord Harry and they fall for a girl. In most of these fanfic, in keeping with Zayn’s hotness in real life, he is portrayed as the reserved, aggressive and passionate lover. Some stories even have vampires! With each chapter the stories tend to get darker, with steamy lovemaking and punishment.
