A fic that you love without knowing the source material:
Can You Teach Me How To Feel Real by @agustddtsuga
rated: E

i know nothing about the show this au was based on but damn i’m sorry it was cancelled. the plot is interesting and i really like the progression of sope

idk if there will be more of this but i hope so because it’s really interesting and i wanna see how the story progresses as well as the other side ships.

a fic with a premise that shouldn’t work but does:
spill magic on boys by linkpoisoned (ao3)
rated: NR

idk the fact that seokjin is a cat for most of the fic just threw me off i guess. but it ends being a cute roadtrip story and yeah it’s weird but cute i guess?

WARNINGS: implied sexual content

a fic you’ve read several times:
Oh Darling by @notarcuri
rated: E

idk the seokjin in this fic just really rocks my world. he is just the greatest. also i love detective joon please omg. the way that joon unknowingly attracts seokjin is just fantastic and i really hope

for more of this series. espicially since i don’t really understand this universe that much.

a fic you remember years (months) later:
Him by @Busan_dreaming
rated: M
(i’ve only been reading bts fanfics for a few months so please don’t mind the word change.)

this was one of my very first bts fics i’ve read and i really loved it. i sometimes go back to read it

from time to time, it really is a classic jikook fic. i hope these boys are happy they deserve it.

a comfort fic:
orange is a feeling by @hvpeworld
rated: M

these boys deserve a lot of love and they get it through this fic. this fic is really poetic too? especially towards the end. it really helps me to read this when i feel down.

a cathartic fic:
Let’s Not Hurt Anymore by exfatamorgana (ao3)
rated: M

i had to look up what “cathartic” meant lol. but whenever i feel like i need a sad?? fic??? i go for this one. although there is fluff, i still feel very much for the characters and what they are going thur

i really love namjin in this dynamic and the switching of timelines and perspectives each chapter too.

a fic you’d print out and put on a shelf:
The Curse of Fire by @whenIseeUsmile
rated: M

this series in general feels like a book series. with the world building, the plot, the conflicts, etc.. it reminds me of shadowhunters in a lot fo ways. i feel like it would really work

as a book series. i also just really love this fic, i re-read it a lotttt. (don’t forget the sequel too)

a fic you associate with a song:
i have died everyday waiting for you (but love you for a thousand more) by @Yasutora11
rated: M

i may be cheating a little bit because i don’t assoicate songs with fics (other than my own). so i chose one with a song title that i knew.

this fic is heartbreaking and can be hard to read. i think the song that the title is based on matches the fic really well.

a fic that inspires you:
the door in our hearts where light awaits us by @dionysusgf
rated: G

i always feel inspired by myri’s fics but this one, when i first read it, really was amazing. glow!jin is just a wonderful concept that so interesting and unique. as well as the

wonderful imagery and just the way myri writes about characters that want to get better (in many different ways). idk this was the first fic that came to my mind when i read this prompt.

a fic that brought you aboard a new ship:
seokjin gay by @carljungkook
rated: —

i am... cheating. but really i don’t think i should lie. this was the first namjin au i’ve read and i fell in love with it. it also just opened me up to the community to namjinists

and i find a lot of joy in them. jenna has this talented way of taking plots that don’t start that deep and developing them into something beautiful. i read this all the time and love it a lot and for bringing me to namjin

a fic you wish could be a movie:
imperfectly perfect by @whenIseeUsmile
rated: M

kinda like their other fic, this feels like a movie. i really think i could see certain scenes play out on screen. it reminds me of a lot of teen movies that are popular nowadays?? idk

i think that if it were a film it’d do really well and be on netflix or something. the romance and character progression is really good for that.

FREE SPACE:
landscapes like our hearts by @kasuchiko
rated: E

this is just the latest fic that i have been loving. i really love the setting of an effortlessly queer world. so it lets the characters be a lot more free and focus on other problems that they have

i also love how it really feels like a romance book. i love namjoon in this fic, he owns my heart. jin being a theatre major is my everything. plz everyone check this one out.

WARNINGS: there’s a lot so please check the fic itself

a fic you’ve gushed about irl:
push the sky away by @mrjustinseagull
rated: M

i don’t talk about fics irl a lot. but i’ve brought this fic up a lot because of how much i love it. it’s just so great and i love the characters so much. i actually haven’t watched a lot of x-files

but i’ve read a lot of fics with this au. i feel like this is the best out of all of them, the characters aren’t just the same as the show. but truly fit in this universe. i love it so much!!

a fic you associate with a place:
summer sourdough by @nebulaguk
rated: G

idk there’s this scene where namjin is at a festival and get stuck on the faris wheel. it just reminds me of the festival we have in my hometown. though i am sure that the settings are very

different. this whole fic gives summer romance nostalgia that i’ve never had lol. but it’s very sweet and i love it a lot.

a fic that made you gasp:
cold-blooded sticky rice by @realmoonnamjoon
rated: T

i can’t tell you the moment i gasped at, because spoilers, i really wasn’t expecting it!!! also i adore this fic. i don’t read as much sope as i used to but reading this one really reminds me

how much i love their dynamic. hobi and yoongi deserve all happiness let it be said. also the a:tla setting is AMAZING and i would die for it.

a fic you found at the right time:
just one kiss by @princessdaddyve
rated: NR

again, i don’t read that much sope anymore. but this fic has come down from the heavens to heal my wounds. i had a breakup and it made sad about love. but this fic just made me so happy and

helped me to forget all of that. with true sunshine hobi at his finest and yoongi who deserves to feel a little more loved. this fic just really helped to bring me a smile.

WARNINGS: none

a fic you would read a fic of:
your heart, feel it beat by @namjintellect
rated: T

i loved this fic by itself, i really do. but i really am just so interested at the other things hinted at in this fic. also, the jikook dynamic is amazing i would love to see more of it.

but also, what goes on with namjin?? idk but i just love this super casual superhero universe and i think that there should be more like it.

a fic that made you laugh out loud:
is it gay? by @dionysusgf
rated: M

this whole fic series just makes me go YEHDYBSJDHE. like imagine the “no homo song” as a real thing. and that’s what this fic and this dynamic is. they are both true idiots and i just CANT with them.

if i ever do need a laugh i just read this series start to finish. it’s just so great to see dumb boys with feelings.

WARNINGS: ass slaps

a fic with a line you’ve memorized by heart:
Nothing’s Ever Built To Last (you’re in ruins) by @DrJinsClinic
rated: M

i can’t memorize words for shit. but just... there’s this moment that jin asks namjoon these questions and asks him to answer honestly. i can’t be specific cuz

this is a sequel so... but both parts of this series are just excellent in their own right. and the final part going on currently is great too. namjin deserve everything.

the cupcake boys by @cupcake_sabu
rated: M

maybe not butterflies, but the feeling of eating cupcakes for sure. and it’s not just from namjin, jin and jungkook’s relationship as me floating on air because i love it so much. i just love protective

loving older brother jin?? i also just love ot7 together in this fic and they all play off each other really nicely. it gives me all the happy feels~
