Rather like
I did for Sherlock, here's a post of my favorite One Direction fics, split by pairing. This is a companion to
my reading spreadsheet, which includes fics I'd rate a 6/10 or higher; the ones from that spreadsheet that make it to this recs list are the ones that hit my particular reading tastes particularly hard. I'll keep adding to this over at least the next couple of months, probably, till I'm caught up on all my reading since October when I first started in this fandom.
This list owes a great debt to
noeon whose Rectober 2014 posts got me reading 1D fic via the rec to sunsetmog's If This is Love (thus dooming her to eternal suffering as I talked to her about nothing but 1D for six months). Ty! :D
I don't necessarily rec all the
best things I read; I rec the things that I think a reader would me would like. Roughly, I'm more likely to rec: happy endings but with angst or pining along the way; new relationships as opposed to established relationships; more porn (as opposed to less porn) and certain kinds of D/s related kink in particular; and less flowery writing styles as opposed to more flowery ones. Again, those aren't objective statements of quality, just the things that I like and the things that are more likely to show up on this recs list.
