Fanfiction
- Talking to George by drinkurkombucha, Matty is a struggling musician and his life is a chaotic mess. After getting kicked out of a nightmare flat share, he moves back in with his old school friends Ross and Adam and their new housemate – the handsome but mysterious George (who no one ever sees). It isn’t long before Matty starts to develop a bit of an unhealthy obsession… (George Daniel/Matthew Healy)
- i wanna feel you from the inside by trishapocalypse, the one where Matty catches Harry in panties and stockings and really likes it. (Matthew Healy/Harry Style)
- Only You by SeraphStarshine, Matty thought he knew himself, but after an unexpected breakup and a surprising proposal from his best friend, he finds his preconceived notions shattering in the span of a few days. Matty has no idea who he is anymore, especially regarding who he's attracted to, but with his busy schedule and a string of seemingly never ending shows, he isn't left with much time to ponder it. It really shouldn't matter anyway, and Matty's trying to convince himself that it doesn't, but the one thing that does matter is George, and the constant fear of damaging their friendship keeps Matty from exploring the newly revealed path that is extending before him, pushing him down other avenues that he assumed he had escaped from long ago. (Daniel/Matthew Healy, Matthew Healy/Gemma Janes, Nick Grimshaw/Harry Styles)
