Every single breath he takes around Zayn is a lie. Harry's entire being when he's near Zayn is a fucking lie because Harry never wanted this to turn out like that. Harry never wanted to act like his heart wasn't aching for the love that was taken away from him, for the person that he could share anything and everything with. His other half that had been with him for years and suddenly, there was just void instead. OR: It's been three years since Harry saw Zayn. A chance encounter forces them to bring back memories they were trying so hard to forget. Will they fall down or manage to hold on this time? ORIGINALLY POSTED ON AO3

"We'll lay here for years or for hours, your hand in my hand, so still and discreet." When the whole world knows your face, love is hard to find. But when you find it, will you be able to hold onto it long enough? A Famous Zarry AU, unrelated to canon kind of a social media fic (a half to 2/3 of a chapter)

*3rd Place Winner of the 2014 Olympic 1D Bromance Awards, for Up and Coming Zarry* A war veteran whose guilt doesn't overpower his compassion and hope. His life burned away as did his platoon, but nothing, absolutely nothing, can keep his gaze from the future. But there is a certain coffee shop barista that he might pick up along the way. A victim of abuse that lost his way along with his wide-eyed curiosity. He's about to find out that his problems aren't the only ones that exist, and there's nothing better to help deal with those demons than a person who'll help you bury them.
