a thread for all the fics i‘ve enjoyed reading and tend to go back to time and time again~

most if not all are seokjin centric (jin harem rise always haha )

i feel like i’m a bit picky with fanfiction, maybe because i used to write as well so i tend to “critique” sometimes

story: A Gilded World
pair: yoonjin

there’s a reason this story is under everyone’s recommendation list, the setting, the pacing, the characterizations are all on point. you can’t help it but love it and get swept in the ups and downs in yoonjin’s budding relationship

story: Echo Chorus
pair: yoonjin

this is honestly more painful for me than AGW, all i can say is tears were shed

anyway, smiles is such a good author. i haven’t found the time to actually indulge all of her works posted at AO3 but i bet they’re all a good read

story: Red Poppies
pair: jinkook

please tell me more people have read this masterpiece. it’s really good - police officer jungkook x pediatrician seokjin. it’s mysterious enough and will keep you on edge. bittersweet end

story: A Wealth of Intimacies
pair: namjin

before this fic, i thought ABO dynamics are just for (not so well written) smut. some parts are undoubtedly hot but it’s sooo much more, i love how this writer fleshed out joonie, he’s so tangible with his struggles over seokjin

story: Imprints (For the Boys in the Back)
pair: namjin

just saw that part 2 for this is up... I NEED TO READ THAT ASAP LIKE OMFG HOW COULD I MISS IT?! AM I NOT SUBSCRIBED???!!!

anna’s works are always such a good read, i hope she writes more namjin or another jin pair

story: Answer (series)
pair: taejin

i love how this fic follows taejin’s relationship from the very start, tbh i haven’t read the entire series but i really enjoyed the first parts the angst hurts so good, tae and jin are young and in love and painfully vulnerable

title: cherub vice
pair: jinkook

i remember being so elated when this fic got completed last christmas (on my birthday) HAHA

what can i say, i love how jk is set up in a strictly (bordering on crazy) devout family and seokjin serves to be his anchor later on

title: Chasing Your Shadow
pair: jinkook more like yoonjin

i think... i have a thing for hurting myself with pining fics (usually ones that stays unrequited ), this is jinkook’s “i love you; i’m ten years older than you” before itaewon class made it popular HAHAHA
