Nine years after One Direction went on hiatus, Zayn and Niall have lived separate lives, their paths diverging in ways neither could have predicted. On a routine flight back to London, fate has a different plan. The plane crashes, and in the aftermath, Zayn and Niall find themselves the only two survivors. Stranded in a remote, desolate place, they are forced to confront the emotional wreckage of their past, both individually and together. With only each other to rely on, old wounds resurface, and the silence between them becomes charged with years of unspoken words and unacknowledged feelings. As they fight to survive, Zayn and Niall begin to discover the depths of their bond and a connection that might have been there all along-but was never given the chance to bloom.
In a world where only the two of them remain, will they find a way to rebuild from the ashes of their past and build a future together, or will the weight of everything that's happened before keep them apart forever?

in which harry and louis are inseparable trouble makers who think they have everything figured out, but as it turns out, they don't, and they have one summer left together until louis goes to university.
