A/N: Thanks for the support thus far, guys! Really excited to share this all with you. Here is the second part, it’s quite shorter than the first but still equally as good. Hope you like it! As always, send me Feedback, and/or discuss this installment with others at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!
Part II
The Heart Never Forgets - Master Post
Summary: What’s worse than watching the one you love die? For Liam, it’s having to stand by while they forget who you are. Zayn is dying, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, and Liam goes from being his best friend to his caregiver. Somehow, their friendship becomes intimate, and while it should be good, it isn’t, because they know that Zayn will forget about them soon enough. While the mind may obliterate the memories of their love, Liam believes - hopes - that the heart never forgets.
A/N: Hey guys! I’m so pleased with the response that this has had so far. Initially, I wanted it to be a one shot, but the ideas in my head were too good to allow that, so I’m separating this into a chaptered. It’s a very intense story, dealing with a terminal illness that I find quite interesting, and I think the way I am portraying it fits the Ziam ship so perfectly, full of angst and an unrequited love. This is by no means a story for the weak-hearted; I will admit that I don’t know too much about the disease, nor do I care to research about it, but I will put my limited knowledge to good use by capturing the feels and emotions that I think would be relative towards a real life experience. This story is full of heart ache, though on occasion there will be minor fluff and one, just one, sexual scene. I invite and urge you to go along this journey with me as we direct our ship in uncharted territories within our hearts. I make no promises that this will be a pleasing experience, indeed the topic would prove otherwise, but I hope you enjoy the emotion provided nonetheless. As natural, feedback is appreciative; don’t hesitate to send me an Ask (I really enjoy reading your thoughts!), or you can use the Disqus at the bottom of the page to discuss it with others. Thanks again for taking the time to read this; my heart goes out to you all. ♥
The Heart Never Forgets - Part I
Title: The Heart Never Forgets
Pairing: Liam Payne & Zayn Malik
Word Count: 11702
Warning: Your heart will break during the duration of this fic… That’s the only warning I care to give, as I rather want your heart to break, but it will be well worth it, I promise you.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Direction. I do own a toothbrush and a few dozen pencils.
Author’s Note: So this is my love-child of a fic. I’m really proud of it, the idea and the plot I’ve come up with, but it is so freaking long that it will need to be published in parts. And I sort of wanted to make it a one-shot, but again, too long, and I think people will get impatient waiting for it to be completed only to have to read something so freaking long, so yeah, enjoy part one. Be sure to tell me what you think, whether in the asks or even use the Disqus comments at the bottom of the page. :)
Enrique Iglesias - Don’t You Forget About Me
pocketfullofziam replied to your post: back to writing:
is it gonna be all angsty? the ending too?
omg yes, so much angst. should be the title, really. forget me not: a novel of angst haha.
erm, i sort of decided that ending with character death, after the story being nothing but sadness, would be too harsh, soOOooo, no. there will be something after the death, something good and happy and heartwarming (same day, even, which is heartbreaking tbh). but it will end with a funeral, i believe.
and then the epilogue, which will be happy, but i won’t be publishing that the same day haha. nah, i’ll want your hearts to be broken for a bit before i let you read that.
where do i come up with this stuff
it was the beginning of the end, they both knew, but at that moment, nothing else mattered. all that mattered, all that existed, was in their arms: each other.
like where
back to writing:
i’ve honestly been slacking on writing. i want to make it perf and it’s just leaving me with writer’s block, and then i get a tiny bit of inspiration and go with it and let it take me wherever and then it disappears and i’m like what just happened, what do i do now. but yh w/e, i’m at 11491 words so far, and i’m only halfway through of page 2 of the 7 pages of plot i have written so far. and the plot still isn’t even halfway done, omfg. my goal is to reach 20k words by the time i call it quits tonight. here’s hoping….
but enjoy another teaser preview:
“but nothing, zayn,” he whisper, cupping the dark haired boy’s head. he peered at him seriously, intensely; letting his words be accompanied by the emotion shown through his eyes, his heart; his soul.
last teaser for today
“i’m just afraid as to how they’ll react. how they’ll be left to deal with it all, once everything is done. once i’ve told them… forgotten them… i can’t help but wonder who i’ll forget first. louis and niall, with all of their energy, you’d think it’ll be impossible. harry, my best mate, or liam. in sha’allah, i pray liam be forgotten last.”
“zayn…” the name escaped liam’s mouth in a hoarse whisper. he didn’t mean to interrupt, but he couldn’t just stand there, watching his best friend so broken, so tortured. he wanted to console and comfort his friend, because fuck, he’s dying?
zayn turned to look at liam at the mention of his name. had liam’s heart not already been broken by zayn’s words, the look on zayn’s face would have crushed it into a fine powder. zayn sat there, eyes wide, dark and brooding, bloodshot and bright, creating a constant stream of tears that fell down his cheeks, leaving them puffy and reddened. zayn licked his lips, bit them, unsure as to how to explain, where to begin.
update on ‘forget me not’
so aww, i just wrote the part where liam finds out zayn has eoad.
:(
really sad
and even sadder, they aren’t even together yet, sighs.
yup, this is gonna be a heartbreaker.
anyways, here’s another teaser.all one paragraph, enjoy x:
“i’ll tell them,” he heard zayn say, with stronger resolve. “but how? ‘hey, guys, i have this disease,’” liam’s heart dropped, “‘called early onset alzheimer’s disorder. it’s no big deal, really; i’m just going to lose all my memories, forget all of you, and me, and then die within the next ten years.’” shattered. “‘no biggie, really; would ya pass the green beans?’” somehow during the confession, liam had broken out into sobs he had silenced into his hands, afraid to be caught by zayn’s very personal admission. what. the. fuck.
My progress so far on the plotline.
Word count is 3860.
I still have 9 months of plot to work in there, but I am DONE for tonight, yeesh. added 2.5k tonight.
P.S., you can read another small teaser here as well as the prologue here.
And then he realized why he was so scared, as he tried hopelessly to remember when and how he ever forgot falling in love with Liam James Payne.
omfg a preview of my oneshot
so this is like 1/75th of my end goal, and i’m quite happy with it so far so ahh. :] it will either be called forget me not or the heart never forgets, i don’t know which yet. maybe both :O could be like forget me not: the heart never forgets. that works, i guess. but a bit long, meh. and yeah, it’ll be a really long oneshot. if i do it chaptered, i’ll forget about it and neglect it and yeah, but if i do it all at once, then it’ll be complete and yeah. :) so tell me what you think of it so far.
