Tell Me She's Real x nh by justtellaax

Jackie's life is flipped upside down when she leaves behind her all-girls football team in Atlanta and moves to London-only to find herself the newest (and only female) player on an elite all-boys team. She's determined to prove she belongs on the pitch, no matter how many glares, snide remarks, or challenges are thrown her way. And no one challenges her more than Niall Horan-the team captain, beloved by coaches, worshipped by fans, and a complete pain in her ass. Cold, calculating, and annoyingly good at what he does, Niall makes it clear from day one that he doesn't think she can handle it. But Jackie's not backing down. Not when she's come this far. Not even when Niall gets under her skin more than anyone ever has. And definitely not when he leans in during training and mutters, "Hope you're not expecting special treatment just 'cause you're the only girl. You'll have to earn your spot-same as the rest of us." As tensions rise and sparks fly, the line between enemies and something deeper begins to blur. In a sport where trust is everything and emotions are risky, Jackie and Niall are about to learn that the hardest battles aren't always on the field. Then everything changes. What makes everything seem nothing like it was before? Read more to find out!

The Girlfriend Project by confetticats

[niall horan/ofc, completed] Niall Horan is your average superstar, stealing millions of young girls' hearts with his angelic voice. He's looking for love - the crazy, obsessive admiration he can only get from his fandom is what he's after. Niall creates a project, the girlfriend project. It consists of him traveling, and picking girls out of the crowd - just to see if she's "the one". Pepper Clarke is a sixteen-year-old girl from a small town near Seattle. Pepper lives her life the way she wants it, which usually means blogging about One Direction with her best friend Macy. For her birthday, she acquires tickets to one of their concerts, and suddenly her life is turned upside down. * Notes: This is a work of fiction. Any names or characters are inspired by, but not affiliated with One Direction, Niall Horan, businesses, or places. Events or incidents, are also fictitious. I wrote this in 2012, when I was 16. Please be kind. :) I am now an adult and I leave this story up simply for those who enjoy it.

Yet somehow, they end up back together, except this time it's a little different. They find themselves competing against each other at the one and only X-Factor.
