The Gay One Direction Fan Art You Always Dreamed Of

It's been a tough week for One Direction fans. The British boy band just saw the defection of its first member, the smoldering Zayn Malik. Now rumors are percolating that Louis Tomlinson or Harry Styles -- the band's informal lead singer, former Taylor Swift fling, and the one most playful about his sexuality -- could be on the way out too. Before the band dissolves completely, we thought it a perfect time to highlight some incredible gay-themed One Direction fan art, found all over the Web. We're not sure what drives this phenomenon of slash fiction and fan art that is "shipping" the two. No longer is it enough to dream of winning the attention of your favorite boy bander, now fans are so open minded they just imagine them together. These adorable pieces, mostly featuring "Larry" -- the pairing of Styles and Tomlinson -- come via the Karukara Tumblr page.
