anxiety canon establishedrelationship onedirection ot5 zaynleavingband ziam ziamfic

Zayn Malik cancels his very first public performance as a solo artist and cites 'anxiety' as the reason. Liam helps Zayn reveal 'The Truth' to the other boys of 1D, after a year of silence.    

The truth behind Zayn leaving the band, his anxiety, and an OT5 reunion.

Author's Notes: No offence to anyone but this is just my version of what happened! No intention to belittle anyone with anxiety, least of all Zayn. It's only a fic, my very first one at that, 6 months into the fandom.

Massive thanks to the  gorgeous Reema for being my beta.

Kudos and comments are my manna from fic-writers heaven! 😊Mistakes, if any, are mine. Enjoy!

Struggle for Release by Z_Ashika04

Zayn Malik, known to the world as one of the members of One Direction. People say he has everything- Money, fame and talent. They say, he is really happy in his life. Judging by his smile, he is. But the real question is- is he really happy? Is money, fame and talent everything? Is his smile true? The problem is sometimes the best smiles are the ones which hide the worst pains. Is that the case with Zayn? Do his band mates know? Join him and his band mates on this rollercoster called life. Fair warning: This will contain mentions of ED, depression and anxiety. Trigger warning. Also this is just a fanfic, so...yeah. Also the videos that I add, they have nothing to do with the story, well apart from the fact that they are sung by one direction. I just like putting them so there so yeah. I will add both live performances and studio version. Also just so you guys know, high notes are done by Zayn, in case you didn't know it already. Enjoy!! Most impressive ranks #5 in zayn #4 in celeblife #70 in eating disorder #299 in anxiety

One Touch[Ziam Fanfic] by thebeautifulthings

At first I don't say anything. Liam seems cold. Distant. Nothing like the old Liam I knew. Loved as a best mate. "What's gotten into ya, bro?" "Besides your dick, eh?" Liam shook his head. "Don't you ever go online? Read the stuff about us? See the types of photoshopped pictures going around on the web, hmm? How I'm a bottom, and you're always the one shagging me? It only makes things worse when you touch me like you love me." "I do lo---." "You shu' up, now!" Liam yelled. "I am not joking here, Zayn. Don't touch me, don't look at me. Just keep your filthy paws to yourself, okay? There is no Ziam, or whatever the hell they call us now. I am not gay, Zayn!"

OR Zayn leaves the band and the boys are more than pissed, especially his handler/ boyfriend Liam. One day Zayn can't handle all of the pressure and calls Liam begging for the man to be his handler and boyfriend again. -also on ao3 * This story contains pet play, but is not filled with sex scenes. There are no intense punishments, only one or two are even mentioned. If you want hardcore smut please look elsewhere.
