Not a manip. This is real. Like really really really real.

So you’re telling me that while Louis is slutting it up on stage, shirt ripped open, dancing in shorts, graduating with cunt honours — Zayn is having his first interview in six years on a podcast that was originally a how-to on being more dominant in the bedroom?

Hey Gina! I hope you’re doing well during this difficult time. Thank you for being so active on here, your responses are always great, and your blog has been a huge help as I catch up on the timelines after rejoining the fandom after five years.

Do you happen to have any recs for somewhat recent canon fics? I just got back into reading fics in general, and I’ve already read all of your canon recs and loved them so much (the 1d days, xfactor, 2014 to 2017), but none of those authors seem to write new stuff these days :( I’d really love to read some canon fics from 2023-2024.

By the way, since I’m still pretty new to fic terminology, I’m not sure if “canon” is the right word to use. Does it specifically refer to stories based on events we know happened (like them on stage during the 1D days), or does it also apply to stories inspired by real-life events (like Harry doing an interview we know happened, and then the story builds around that)? I’m mostly looking for fics based on real-life events or ones that depict reality these days :) hope it makes sense!

Thanks a lot, take care <3

Hi, sugar. Very few people seem to write canon fic anymore. Partly because the guys are in their 30s and partly because they've barely interacted in the past nine years. So I sadly don't have any suggestions for you. You could just do a search on AO3 for canon compliant, though. And yes, "Canon" means accepted "lore," like, all 5 boys were on X Factor and put into the band etc. Canon is a bit more difficult when it comes to RPF because a lot is based on assumptions (like, Simon Cowell is a bad person, Harry and Louis are a couple, Nck Grimshaw is a BBC Radio personality etc) and will include a lot of different versions of "canon" (like, people who believe Ziam is a real couple will make that canon. Others won't). It's a lot simpler with something like a movie or a book (Harry Potter and Draco are wizards who are clearly canon enemies. Making everything else as it is in the books except making them lovers would be "canon adjacent").

does anyone have recently written canon fics to suggest?

It’s 2023 and we have a Ziam interaction!

So. Liam left the comment the day before stunting and Zayn replied while Liam was stunting, the day before he himself would drop a stunt mention. Mmm.

(I'm still not over ziam public interaction in 2023!!!)

I feel like these stunts were damage control, unless they were already planned and that's why the interaction could happen. Either way it's sad that in 2023 they're still in this situation 😒 but ikr! For years there were stunts without Ziam so at least now they and we got smth out of it lol 🙌
