After Liam Payne's untimely passing, the members of One Direction reunite for a tribute concert in his honor. Through shared memories, unresolved tensions, and the discovery of Liam's unfinished song, they embark on a journey of healing and rediscovery, culminating in one final performance that cements his legacy forever.


Author's Note:

This story is a tribute to Liam Payne, written as a way for me to navigate the grief I've been feeling since his loss. The weight of it all felt too heavy to carry alone, and this was the only way I could think to express my emotions. Writing this piece has been a form of healing, and I truly hope it can offer some comfort to those who are grieving or remembering the incredible person Liam was.

Please note that this is a work of fiction, inspired by real people and events, but the characters and situations are not meant to represent actual events. It's a creative expression of my feelings, and any resemblance to real-life occurrences is purely coincidental.

If there's anything in this story that doesn't resonate with you or feels out of place, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts. This journey is as much about healing as it is about remembering, and your feedback is important to me.

Thank you for reading, and I hope this story brings you some peace.

Walking in the Wind One Direction ONHOLD by AmberxLuke
33 parts Ongoing Mature
Ready to go back to 2010 with me? Amber wakes up in her childhood bedroom with a massive headache. She looks at the date and it says; April 11 2010. This can't be right, because only yesterday it was October 16 2024. But it is right, it is real. Somehow she ended up as a 16 year old in 2010, and on top of that, her sister is dragging her to the auditions for the X Factor. There she realizes, she's competing against one direction... But they don't even know they're one direction yet. Follow her on her journey to success, helping the boys come together, becoming friends with them, and maybe even fall in love. I honestly can't really cope with Liams passing so I'm writing a fanfic. This is my way of keeping Liam alive. The idea of the book is one that I pulled from an old unpublished fanfic I wrote in 2014. The idea was to travel back in time to be with one direction, which now seems something I want to do more than ever. I'll tell you now that I decided the main character will travel back from a time where Liam was still alive so she doesn't have to deal with knowing when he'll pass away. Just to keep everything light and fun. Disclaimer I'll publish as I go so sorry if you have to wait for the next chapter, but I'm uploading every other day. Normally I wouldn't publish my writing I'm too much of a perfectionist to share stuff like this but grieving alone really sucks so I'm just hoping us directioners can find comfort within each other. I'll try my best to include many personal details and events about the boys into the book but I have to leave some room for creative writing. I'm also just grieving and hurting so please let's be kind to one another.

"Do you think all of this.. pent up anger we've been showing each other is because of our fears of losing the other?" Harry asks, his big green eyes making contact with mine. "Maybe." I shrug, upset. "But it shouldn't." There was a silence after I said that. I look at the window of his room, looking for something else to say. "How about this." Harry says, as my head turns to him once more. "Let's just not be afraid." "And how do we do that?" I ask, folding my arms. "Live in the moment." He shrugs as I hum. "Not think about the future, or worry about things that we don't know will happen." • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • To everyone, Lizzy Walker had the perfect life.

In 2015, Zayn left the band without giving the real reason the the lads. But now, he is back with his daughter. The lads who are regrouping add him back to the band... But, the band is not the only thing that Zayn gets back in life. Old flames are rekindled, new responsibilities merge with old routines. Through all the chaos, Zayn has only one sentence to say... "But, I bet you if they only knew, they would just be jealous of us." ----------------- A/N This is my first fan fiction and the idea is to update the story every week. Lets see how that goes. In case of any mature scenes, there will be a SMUT WARNING at the beginning and the end. They may be skipped as per viewer discretion. Also, I have no negative feelings towards any of the people around 1 direction and their families, but when it comes to a story there has to be a good and bad guy. So if someone is described to be - for the lack of a better word - a bitch, do excuse that. I am sure each and everyone is amazing in their own way. Hope you guys like it!
