fandom: BTS
author: haruday

i cant even stand how gorgeous this work is. this is something i can get my cishet male friends (who dont read fanfic) to read and cry over, just because of how heavy the themes are and how incredible it is

something like home

fandom: idol producer
author: rainingover
ship: zdj

rainingover is genuinely so beautiful with how they write, and is INCREDIBLE at conveying emotions. this fic is a classic for me, and its just incredibly sweet and melancholic

恋还可恋

fandom: ipd
author: 逆天改命

one step, two steps

fandom: nct
author: berryboys

Speculation, Speculation

fandom: nct
author: todolist (orphaned)

this is a fic that i've read so many times now and it never fails to charm me with all the personality and humour and growth it shows. this should be a benchmark for writing

fandom: nct
author: pududoll (aprilclash)

no one else but you tonight

fandom: nct
author: pulses

i read this at a very special part of my life, and it really helped me shape a perspective about future, want, hope, and being bigger than self. incredible.
