On his way towards the rest of their friends in the booth by the back of the pub, Niall finally spots Aisling's auburn hair and glittery dress standing near the wooden table. He'd be lying if he didn't think that she looked quite pretty. Niall's always known Aisling to be pretty, in a way that he knows that thunder follows lightning during a storm and that the sun always shines the brightest in the summer. It was just a universal thing.

But tonight, he finds that he's entirely hyperaware of Aisling's prettiness.

And he isn't quite sure what to do about that.

A (short) story about at blonde-haired boy and an auburn-haired girl trying to convince the world that they aren't lonely, and how time really isn't of the essence.

Since We're Alone |NH| by imagine_it_niall

I didn't know what spooked him. I knew it wasn't me. I knew it wasn't anything I had done. But someone, somewhere along the way had hurt him. I had my guess as to who, but didn't know how I could find out for sure. But whatever it was clearly left its mark; an unseen scar that was still healing. We laid there in the quiet of the darkness. His breathing slowly began to steady and his fingers slowly ceased running down my arm. At some point, I knew he had fallen asleep. I tilted my head back up towards his face, finding his cheek, kissing him. "I don't know what made you so afraid," I whispered, "But I can see the shadow behind your face. Who hurt you? Who put your heart through so much pain? I hope you find a way to tell me what you're running from. I promise you can talk to me; you can trust me. I won't break you. I just want to know how to get in there. How do I get you to show me your heart?" I kissed him once more before resting my head down again. Closing my eyes, I inhaled deeply, loving the way his natural scent mixed with the cologne he had put on. "I promise, you've got the best of me. And I'll do what it takes to bring out the best in you."

Foreign Affair ›› n.h. mature by emmaanne19

Olivia Allen is a college student who is studying abroad in London. Quickly after moving halfway across the world, her semester's focus shifts from her studies to a certain blonde boy she can't seem to stay away from. This book is a cute, romantic, and mature love story. It's definitely not AU - I tried to stay true to their lives as best as I could imagine. There's some build up, but it eventually gets very very smutty. Best rankings: 🥇 #niallhoran 🥇 #1dsmut 🥇 #niall 🥇 #horan 🥉 #niallsmut #9 #onedirection ... 2021 Update! I wrote this in 2014 & 2015 so in 2021 I polished it up a bit. The plot didn't change but I fixed some grammar and word choice. If you enjoy it, please keep the votes & comments coming! Rereaders, let me know if you notice anything I changed. But I truly hope nothing is noticeable! ... As a shameless advertising push (well not entirely, there's some shame) here are some of the sweetest comments ever on my story. I'm hoping they convince you to read it, especially because I think my writing improves a lot after the first few chapters but I worry that people don't get to where I really hit my stride before quitting on this story. So please stick with it and maybe you will agree with these kind readers: "LAST CHAPTER IM GOING TO CRY😭😭THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FAN FICS IVE EVER READ" "omg I absolutely loved it!!! I literally stayed up until my eyes couldn't stay open any longer reading this book!! You're an incredible writer and have written an amazing story <3" "THIS WAS SO AMAZING OMFG" "This truly is the most beautiful and sweet story I have ever read! You write so realistically! I love your style! I didn't want it to end! Loved every part!" "this would be the fifth time i have read this book love it every time" "❤️ I loved every minute of this story! Seemed almost true! Thanks for sharing your talent! ❤️" "This is the best story I have ever read. Thank you so much."

To Fall by writingsmistress

Running a successful international gang is hard but even harder when you're only just turning 18 and running it with your best friend from childhood. Enter Niall Horan and Harry Styles the most powerful young men to walk London. Follow along as the One Direction gang weave through lies, life threatening situations, love, lust, and heartbreak. Better get ready because Niall, Harry, Liam, Zayn, and Louis are some of the finest gangsters going but also some of the most ruthless. Excerpt from Chapter Two: “Staring is rude, baby. “ Niall teased when he slid his eyes over to watch Lilliana staring at him. “I cannot help it that you are so damn sexy. You make me want to do naughty things to you.” Lilliana replied with a giggle, definitely drunk. “Baby, you have a loose tongue when you drink. I’ll make sure to always have liquor around.” Niall winked as he helped the fumbling brunette into his passenger seat. Excerpt from Chapter 10: “Sabella? Is that you?” Niall asked tentatively his voice soft and shaking. The brunette whirled around and her hazel eyes widened. She hadn’t expected Niall or the others for some time but here they were right in front of her. Her breathing stopped and her heart clenched at the sight of Niall. He looked the same, delicious, but also wiser. He was looking at her with his heart in his eyes. “Niall.” Was the only thing she could utter before running to him. Niall opened his arms and lifted Sabella up with ease. She was always so responsive and physically needy and he loved it. The brunette wrapped her lithe legs around Niall’s slim hips and smothered her face in his throat.

Slow Hands |NH| by imagine_it_niall

The last time she had seen him, he had just a slight tuft of blonde but his hair had grown out enough to cut it and now it was all back to his natural color. Having always hated the blonde, she found herself more attracted to him; more aroused. He didn't look like a kid anymore. He looked like a man.... He sat down before taking the drink she had ordered for him. She watched his throat as he swallowed the burning liquid. The bob of his Adam's apple made her almost bite her bottom lip at how hot it was. He never winced when he drank any hard liquor, which made him all the more attractive to her. He could take a drink the way she took him.... She laced an arm around his neck, running her hand through his hair and twirling a strand around her finger before tugging on it a little. She leaned in and began placing kisses along his neck. She felt him shudder a little at the sudden contact. Feeling the goosebumps forming along his skin, she bit at the spot along his jawline that was one of his sensitive spots. She felt him as he placed his hand on her leg and drag it up her thigh. She bit at him again as his grip on her tightened. She was so close to him that she heard his breath catch and falter in his throat... She could feel his breath on her neck and she let a shudder move up her spine. She felt him smile against her skin, pleased that he had this effect on her... Bringing her mouth to his ear, she whispered, "We should take this back to my place." Without a word, he paid for their drinks and they left...

Niall Horan has always been comfortable splitting his time between his dog and his job as a firefighter in the small costal town he's lived in for years.

But the fact that Niall's best friend is none other than Ellis Riley. Archer's one and only older brother. Never have either of them been more sure about their feelings for each other, but summer can only last so long before August comes and slips away like a moment in time.

Niall Horan is tired (and slightly embarrassed) of being the only one in his circle who is still single. The people around him - his family, his friends, his colleagues - are either in love, getting married or starting a family. Although they are content with their lives, at least that's what they tell Niall, they can't seem to mind their own business and stop trying to set him up with someone they know. In their defence, they're just worried about him and want the best for him. If only he could find a way to make them stop... Alexandra Oh has just gotten out of a relationship with the guy she thought was the one and she's not looking to be in another relationship anytime soon. But she has a problem. A few months ago, when she thought things were great between her and her ex that shall not be named, she told her family and friends that she would introduce him to them. She will prove to everyone that her boyfriend is indeed real and not someone she makes up so they would stop pestering her about her love life. With said ex out of the picture now, she needs to find someone that could fill in the position. If only she could find someone willing to be her pretend boyfriend... or, the one where lies are told and lines get blurred
