I was just reading Who We Are - The One Direction Autobiography and in Liam's part, it says "We were just kids, so naive, who'd literally been dropped into this massive industry that will eat you alive if you do it wrong. And we were doing everything wrong! Yet somehow it seemed to work. People wanted to talk to us, find out about our music, get to know us. Something was going on ... we must have had some sort of Guardian Angel. In some sense, that Guardian Angel was our fans".

We're their Guardian Angels and they are ours <3
