#fic recs!

[swordsmans]

do you have any zolu fic recs? 🤔

oh boy do i.

my deepest apologies to others who have asked and only gotten "i promise i'll make a post!!" in response. now... here is my list! 36+ fics, including a few series i'm counting as "single" recs, (+3 not counted).

Spin a Yarn by SrirachaBunny

technically a series, this is a time travel fix-it that has expanded outward from its original premise over the years but is still very much THE zolu fix-it of all time.

Of First Mates and Duty by Whatev3rs

“First mates… we devote our lives to our captains. Our entire beings. We live for them, breathe for them. And they expect us not to fall in love?”

Devotion by BasicallyACat

two part canon compliant series that lives rent-free in my mind. this is my go-to "must read for new zolu fans" fic

without guilt by Augment

Luffy hungers, Zoro thirsts. (+ bonus honorable mention to "But Patience Boasts", which is the sanji-pov portion of this fic and is one of my faves of all time)

got all my attention fixed on you (and you're just where you said you'd be) by nevermordor

Luffy looks again at the bitemarks that he left on Zoro’s wrist. Zoro’s usually hurt, one way or another. Sometimes it’s definitely been Luffy’s fault too, but the bitemarks feel different. (honestly, just read all of nevermordor's fics; they are a fave of all time)

to cut your teeth on love by freckledshoulderblades

Zoro meets Luffy and gives himself over wholeheartedly the instant Wadō is placed between his teeth again. Luffy meets Zoro and decides in a heartbeat that Zoro is his.

tidings of war, tidings of joy by queerweather

Zoro is drenched in sweat already, but at least with his haki holding Luffy’s at bay he isn’t suffocating. And Luffy, damn him, looks completely unruffled.

Don't Go Where I Can't Follow by Leoporidae_Lagomorpha

Because before the Pirate King and the World's Greatest Swordsman there were two lost boys in East Blue. How people grow and promises change. (Zoro finds the color of his devotion.)

Fate and death are made in pairs by demonsLOver

"It's not because of his power or skill. He makes enemies and allies fight for his side. Among all the men of the sea, he has the most frightening ability." Mihawk stated to his pupil. (+ honorable mention to "Forged By Fire" as well)

our shores of starlight (come sailing in) by kurgaya

At Shells Town, Luffy does not meet Roronoa Zoro. Instead, he acquires a sword.

let me carry your scars by arkhamsjason

What Zoro didn't expect, as he made himself comfortable, as so many night before, to keep watch along with Luffy, was that he'd finally have the chance to know what his captain's ruined chest would feel like beneath his calloused hand and guilt filled heart.

and i will learn for you by blueacorn

Zoro will begin to realise that there are other ways to protect.

ship to wreck. by thychesters

Nami is the first one to notice something is amiss, but then given her current competition is Luffy and Zoro, it isn’t surprising. (+ honorable mention to "the salt & the sea.", a reincarnation AU!)

unspeakable love by gadgetronic

A character study with a focus on Zoro that explores promises, sacrifices, beginnings, and devotion.

Precipice of a Change by xpiester333x

Zoro stood there. He was on the precipice of something. One wrong move would send him over the edge into an unknown. He needed to step back, but his feet were locked and frozen on spot. (one of the few AUs to make this list! the characterization here is SPOT ON!)

First Mate, Soulmate by kkuroshii

Fighting with Luffy comes as easy as breathing to Zoro, and he can’t help but wonder what accomplishing his dream with this boy would be like

Robin Knows by leopardgeckoz

In which Nico Robin has always known how her captain and first mate feel for one another, and the scenario's in which the rest of the crew discover it.

with this heart of mine that's guilty; (not remorseful) by phosphenical

It had been two weeks, four days, and twenty-something odd hours since Zoro died. (WARNING FOR PERMA-MCD/HEAVY ANGST)

thank you. / goodbye. by Kenshi

WARNING FOR PERMA-MCD; short and... not "sweet", exactly; the style of this one does nice things to my brain

Blood Song by blue_wonderer

There's nothing to scream about because nothing happened.

blood-spitting loyalty by guiltylights

One day, you’re going to find something worth more to you than your own pride.

axiomatic by grainjew

Reflections on Zoro's devotion.

Providence by taizi

"You know, Zoro," he says, "I broke my end of that deal." 'If you ever come between me and my dream—' Ah, but then, "So did I."

Mutiny by VIKAN

Zoro disobeys a Captain's Order and it's all Sanji's fault. (not strictly ZoLu in the romantic sense, but this fic is a masterclass in both tension-building and how to write an in-character ZoLu argument)

something happened by torkz

Things are changing fast, and Zoro doesn't want to walk into the future with any secrets from his Captain.

Recognition by VickyVicarious

Zoro on titles, dreams, and Luffy. (old-school)

In the Blink of an Eye by InsaneMelon/Acewithapaintbrush

honorable mention to another old-school oneshot from FFnet UPDATE!! this has been re-written and the link has been updated.

Coming Home by thricepiercedpirate

What begins as a happy reunion, because everyone is accounted for and more-or-less in one piece, unexpectedly turns awkward as hell… (the only explicit entry on this list, but i'd be remiss if i did not include the fic that introduced/converted me to ZoLu for life back at the dawn of time... thanks from past-gyro, we wouldn't be here without you, dude.)

Stakes by CaptainJojo

Zoro has a good grasp of what fights are- and are not- worth his time. Or: Zoro gets lost and gets in one (1) fight about it.

Like a Dawning by WhirlyBird70

I am the man who will be King of the Pirates, Luffy said, says, and it’s not a promise but a will, and Zoro knows – knows that of anyone Zoro has ever seen, Luffy is the one to have the Haki of the Conquering King.

invisible threads that bind us by Pure_Night_Fury

Yin and Yang some people would say. Soulmates, others would mention. Or: Nami meets two idiots.

greed by species_baby

Something about his self-assuredness, his conviction makes Zoro dizzy. Although, that could also be the starvation.

Smile, Darn Ya, Smile by sciencemyfiction

Wouldn’t it be fucked up if Zoro was made to eat a smile fruit? And what would Luffy and the other Straw Hats do to help him?

Also, I'm including a shameless and horribly self-indulgent plug for my own stuff, because this is a ZoLu rec list and hey! I write that! lol

poly philtatos (the most loved by far) by swordsmans

25k; Zoro protects the crew and his Captain, and does not realize they will go to the ends of the earth to protect him, too.

ocean theology by swordsmans

40k; canon-compliant enma-asura/nika reincarnation. kinda.

the sea makes bones of bodies by swordsmans

88k; Only one is a monster, but both are a little monstrous. mafia hitman/underground fight club champion/reincarnated moon god x merman/legendary sea monster/reincarnated sun god AU. my magnum opus, probably.

oh BOY have i!!! apologies for taking a couple of business days to answer, i had to compile my list because i have. so many.

i learned to walk while he was away by the fabulous @thirteenemeraldcats is absolutely fantastic. i will never, ever stop thinking about roy and jamie going to a pottery class together. NEVER.

Only The Welsh Can Cwtch by starryeyedknight (who i'm not sure has a tumblr so i've linked their ao3) is so. it's SOOOOOOO.

This Time It's Me That's Leaving You by the incredibly lovely @altschmerzes is one of my absolute favorites of theirs although everything they write ever is *chef's kiss* fantabulous.

what comes in threes by emelinelou is gorgeous and i cry. HIGGINS!!!! HIGGINS MY BELOVED!!!!!!!

you inherit the sins, you inherit the flames by the sweet and talented @jamietarttsnorthernattitude is brilliant and heartwrenching. if you know me you know i love me some rebecca and jamie parallels and this fic has got it in absolute SPADES.

Weekend recommendations

One of the great things about fanfiction is that you can take characters and throw them into an infinite number of universes. I have my favourites of this type in my collection In an other universe.

This weekend I'm going to recommend one of the fic that has made me laugh the most.

@palfriendpatine66 's DX: Lovesick is a fantastically funny, sweet and sexy fic where in Anakin wreaks havoc and Dr Kenobi can do nothing but fall for the reckless bad luck magnet that repeatedly ends up in his ER.

Please read it, but be prepared for the risk of hiccups from laughing (happened to me several times)

[getawayfox]

Because @crazybutgood and I spend our days enabling each other, we're back with another rec list! This time's niche theme is all about art. Some works focus on art as a main concept, while others feature artist characters or art in some form. Here is part 1 of our recs with a colourful mix of both! All works marked by 🌈 are recced by CBG, and those marked by 🎨 are recced by me.

🎨Finely Drawn Lines by @the-sinking-ship (E, 64k, Draco/Harry) 

Draco doesn’t consider himself an artist (though the dozens of sketchbooks lining his shelves might suggest differently). Yet ever since Potter returned to Hogwarts, accepting a teaching position alongside Draco, his drawings have taken on a rather singular focus. From the curl of his lips to the exact number of lines that form at the corners of his eyes when he laughs, Draco has catalogued every shade of one Harry James Potter between the pages of his sketchbook. So long as Potter remains none the wiser, Draco will have no trouble controlling his crush. But when Potter comes to him with a dangerous proposition, Draco fears things are about to get so much more complicated.

Before he realised it, Draco had gone ahead and catalogued Harry Potter’s every expression. And this was precisely the reason Draco could never let Potter see inside his sketchbook. What he was doing would most certainly be considered creepy, although he never meant for it to be. It wasn’t as if he was following Potter around or lurking in dark corners, carving his portrait into every surface. It was simply that Potter was a very good subject. 

Oh, and Draco was a bit in love with him. There was that.

🎨The Art of the Matter by @thestarryknight  (E, 5k, Draco/Harry)

Someone has been casting increasingly awful curses on artworks, targeting Muggle viewers. Draco and Harry are one of the best cursebreaking teams around despite their penchant for distraction in cloak closets. Their latest case? A Muggle portrait in the Paris Salon with a virulent blood curse.

In seven years, Harry had learned a thousand ways to take Draco apart. Most of these did not need a single word or a single touch, so attuned were they to the very intimacies of each other’s motions. Harry loved like it was the only thing he knew how to do. He looked at Draco like Draco was the only thing he had ever seen, like Draco ought to be stared at every moment of every day and Draco was starting to believe it, crazy as it seemed.

🎨Like this then, just like that by @lqtraintracks (T, 394, Draco/Harry)

Draco paints Harry, and Harry falls in love.

Harry shuts his eyes, lifts his chin toward the syrupy sunlight, and tries to embrace the moment and not ache with a pre-emptive regret for the day Draco finishes. Because he started out posing for a friend, and now he’s falling

🎨 Beebox's entry for Draw Drarry Badly by @beebox-illustrations (Not Rated, Artwork Draco/Harry)

🎨 In the Bed by @saintgarbanzo (E, 11k, Remus/Sirius)

Left to his own devices the summer after the prank, Sirius crafts an unusual gift to mend his relationship with Remus.

He flipped to the section of still lifes, loving the off-kilter tables and apples that looked like they could tumble right off the page. Sirius had felt like one of those apples his whole life, ready to fall right off the edge, always liminally right on the fucking edge.

🎨 The Treasuries of Firenze by jennandblitz (M, 14k, Remus/Sirius)

A chance encounter in a market sends Sirius Black spiralling down a path he couldn't escape, even if he wants to.

He’s just in shirtsleeves, the thin cotton enough of an allusion to translucent that Sirius imagines he can see through to the planes of reality where the two of them know each other better.

🎨 Let Men Burn Stars by @wolfpants (E, 18k, Remus/Sirius)

Remus felt impossibly flummoxed by them both, but mostly by Sirius. He was like the last argument in a text that he couldn’t make heads or tails of. The temptation to unravel him was undeniably strong. -- Just a little story about two boys fumbling and falling in love one summer in Buckinghamshire.

Remus offered him his hand to help him up from bed, and it was a cruel move, he knew that, but they were now playing a game of to and fro, and this was his to, desperately casting out a net to catch Sirius’s fro.

🎨 Blue by @BubbeBruja (M, 6k, Remus/Sirius)

In October of their sixth year, the weather changes, Sirius paints (another) moonscape, and Remus goes blind.

“Where did you learn to paint so well?” A blushing, eleven-year-old Remus asked his new friend.

 Sirius blushed back, red, le pomme, and shrugged and said “all purebloods learn” and grew ten feet inside, because Remus Lupin thought he painted well.

🌈 Plausible Deniability by Bearixt (T, 10k, Draco/Harry) 

“Harry, being released to you is simply an opportunity that arose from this—one that I will grab while I can. You call the shots; I just give my expert advice. You want to catch this copycat, don’t you?”

“One Draco Malfoy in this world is already enough,” Harry mutters. Staring straight at him, he crosses his arms. “That’s it? No tricks, no hidden agendas?”

Draco raises his hands. “You’re right. Christmas and New Year were boring, and I can’t imagine celebrating my birthday here when I can be out partying.”

“I won’t let you out just so you can have fun, Malfoy. You’re a criminal.”

— An ex-con man works with the agent responsible for his incarceration to catch a thief.

“There’s a reason why you let yourself get caught. There’s a game you’re playing here, and this copycat case is related.”

🌈 Matching Pair by @thestarryknight (T, 4k, Draco/Harry)

Harry Potter was possibly the last person Draco had expected to find standing at the foot of his favorite portrait at the Tate Magique. And yet, there he is, looking incredibly fit and monopolizing the attentions of the portrait. It's not bloody fair.

There’s no sense of color in the rough pencil lines, but Draco can see the echoed ideas of shading -- the bright folds of Sarah’s shiny taffeta skirt echoed in inverse in the deep creases of Myfanwy’s heavier broadcloth dress.

🌈 A Portrait of the Artist by @firethesound (T, 5k, Draco/Harry)

When Harry Potter, reclusive artist, finally agrees to an interview, Draco can hardly believe that he'll be the one to do it.

He’d talked a bit about Potter’s studio, which really was a nice building, open and airy with large windows and lots of light. And all the paintings, of course. He’d made sure to mention how they’d rendered him speechless.

🌈 the call of sweet things by @softlystarstruck, with art by @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm and @babooshkart (E, 88k , Draco/Harry)

Draco's happy with his quiet, lonely life in Woolbury, spending his days working at Pen Pals and keeping his already tidy flat spotless. But when Harry Potter shows up with pink hair and secrets about his magic, Draco’s carefully upheld balance falls apart. He doesn’t quite know how he ends up decorating Harry's cottage, drinking unreasonable amounts of cocoa, and laughing more than he’s laughed in years, but it's Christmas, after all– and he finally has a chance to set things right. My 25 Days of Draco and Harry 2021 fic!

“I really like that artist’s card designs,” Draco says, and Harry looks up at him with raised eyebrows.

“Really?”

“I–” Draco twists his hands together. “Yes? Is that weird? I just like the little animals because they look… happy. They look like they go home to warm houses and big families, and– uhm– it’s just nice. To imagine that.”

🌈 He’s So Lucky (He’s a Star) by @digthewriter (M, 21k, Draco/Harry) 

Potter has everything he could ever ask for. The perfect life. Then why does he look so sad when no one else is looking? Except for Draco, because Draco’s always looking.

I think you see more than anyone else. Maybe he's waiting for someone to see it.

🌈 The Art of Love by @mars-bar81 (T, Artwork, Draco/Harry)

Draco loves watching Harry's creativity come to life with his lovely paper art.

🌈 Body Art by @sugareey-makes-stuff (E, Artwork, Draco/Harry)

Enough is enough, so Draco decides to get creative with a new art "project" after weeks of having to draw one nude (and delicious) Harry Potter.

🌈bloom for me by dynazty (T, 824, Pansy/Luna) 

It was a flower garden. That’s what Luna told her.

The slight summer breeze pushing in through the open window of the studio brushed her bare shoulders as she situated herself on the settee, propping her chin on her folded arms and trying to be as patient as possible as Luna rustled quietly through her box of paints.

Spring 2023 - 28th Appreciation

Welcome to my spring 2023 rec list! Covering February to May because time flies and I’ve been distracted. But I think that shows you how much I enjoyed these fics, for them to break through. There are definitely others I enjoyed just as much which I didn’t manage to note down, damn disorganisation.

Featuring what I’m terming OT7, Lilo, Zarry, Stylinshaw and Larry.

Poly (OT…7?)

We Need Nothing More - reminiscingintherain - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - E, 9k, 2022 - multiple pairings, series, everyone loves Louis including the radio 1 DJs - because of course they do :) One of last year’s Wordplay creations, this series is a delight for a Louis polyamory/multishipper like me.

Lilo

Not the Jealous Type - loudicrous - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - T, 2k, 2022 - tour shenanigans, OT5 friendship, truth or dare. This is super cute, canon, and oblivious!Liam. WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR??

Zarry / Lilo

Heart Skips A Beat - harriet_vane - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - T, 27k, 2012 - This author is always a safe bet, she has such a particular style which I enjoy so much. Unfortunately (sob!), I think this was the last fic of hers I hadn’t yet gotten around to reading. I’ve put it in a dual category because although Lilo is the first listed relationship, the Zarry is in no way background. 

Stylinshaw

Quite the Pickle - lululawrence - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @lululawrence - NR, 1k, 2023 - AU, mpreg, meet cute, crack. I’ll read anything Sus writes and new Stylinshaw?! Double win. This is so sweet and funny but also I’m 100% with Harry here, pickles are delicious.

Larry

Maid in the A.M. - Lainy122 - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - E, 9k, 2015 - AU, famous/non-famous, cleaner Louis. This one is a lot of fun - I love the humour :D

Once The Dark Divides - zanni_scaramouche - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @zanniscaramouche - E, 14k, 2023 - kink exploration, friends to lovers, AU. Okayyyyy. Hot. Haha, I was tempted to leave it there but this fic is so well-written, and the relationship and bond between Harry and Louis and how it mutates throughout the extended scene is just great. 

Cool Cats - FallingLikeThis - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @fallinglikethis - 2018, T, 16k - Louis/Marcel, high school AU, hybrids, D&D. This fic is adorable, Marcel is adorable, his tail especially is completely adorable.

like a bastard on the burning sea - vashtaneradas - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] - NR, 22k, 2013 - infidelity, angst, AU. I think almost everyone in the fandom will have read this, but if you’ve been putting it off it’s time to get around to it. It hurts, but it’s beautifully written and if you’re in the right mindset it’s a wonderful read.

all this devotion - princelouisau - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @princelouisau - E, 38k, 2022 - omegaverse, fake relationship, friends to lovers. I’m such a sucker for pining/platonic sex tropes and this fic has them in spades! 

yeah, he's a looker (but i really think it's guts that matter most) - devilinmybrain (venomedveins) - One Direction (Band) [Archive of Our Own] @thedevilinmybrain - E, 40k, 2022 - outsider (Oli) POV, canon, friendship. Honestly, I completely loved this. So intricate, so well written, so realistic - it tugs at the heartstrings and sweeps you up into it entirely.

Blessed are the chosen by beggingwolf

wine, flowers, & blood by malk1ns

the geno comes to take pittsburgh but doesn’t realize there’s already been a claim fic. oh my GOD i love this fic and the world building and there are so many small details that i want to chew on for hours

The Hockey Gods (Must Be Crazy) by Solarcat

ok this is the real reason this took so long. i was like SOMEWHERE there is a fic about how in a back alley wall in edmonton? winnipeg?? alberta??? there’s a shrine to wayne gretzky because he once took a piss there and if you’re having a shitty season you can leave an offering there to fix it but i COULD NOT find it and i tried every variation of looking for the longest time like. inputting random words into my bookmarks and then into the whole of the HRPF tag but WE FOUND IT

bonus (unmentioned in the original post but found while perusing my bookmarks):

omni devotione by CloudCover

They’d told him, at the beginning, that Sid was devout, an obedient follower of the old gods.

Still a child, Zhenya had laughed, careless and free of concern. “I’m Russian,” he’d said with a shrug. “We killed our gods.”

He knows better than to laugh now.

limned in gold by sebfish

It was tradition that anyone who made the team got called to meet the gods, and everyone knew what that meant.

[deadwriter16]

Heyyy!!! I was wondering if you had any ktdk fic recs

i have many!! i've read a lot of new fics recently actually so i can stick some of those in here! its been a while since i recced fics

My American Boy - lalazee

very cute fic where deku has a fire breathing quirk and lived with his father in America but transferred to UA in his third year. just a super sweet story about bkdk falling in love under difference circumstances

buyer's remorse - ruche

this one's ironic because the buyer feels no remorse. izuku buys a shit ton of kacchan merch and katsuki is beyond aggravated with him. established relationship, very fluffy, mostly dialogue, super cute

be mine, valentine - mcswoonfor_mcdoon

cute, fluffy little oneshot where deku asks kacchan to be his valentine

alone together - purplerat

modern au, katsuki and deku met in college and katsuki goes to a party solely because he heard deku would be there. very very cute

warm - mynameis152

short and sweet, tooth rotting fluff of domestic bkdk with a kid and a healthy dose of simp izuku. bkdk are so in love and its wonderful

with loving hands - rhenna

bakugou has a nightmare and izuku takes care of him. super sweet

You Got a Boyfriend? - thatpinkbetch

a little fic of a very drunk bkg asking deku if he has a boyfriend. it goes about the way you'd expect but also not, and it's fantastic

six degrees of separation - gravitates

i've been giving mostly fluff, so here's some angst. a breakup makeup fic with quirkless izuku and pro hero bakugou who leaves for America for two years. their relationship becomes strained as izuku's mental health does, but there is a very happy ending and the fic is worth it

Concerning Canes - GreenEyesSublime

bakugou gets horribly injured during a fight while protecting izuku and has to fully rehabilitate. izuku is there to help him all the way through. i love this fic, it's really sweet. it's pining izuku pre-slash, but it's pretty easy to see where bkdk will go next from the ending

Gross - @kiyo-maji

written by my wonderful mutual, just a good old simp deku and whipped kacchan getting together after some realizations and meddling. it's so cute and y'all should check out kiyo's other fics too!

Tattooed Hearts by Alaskan_Outsider.

It's my favorite because I like the different uses of soulmate trope. I haven't seen much with the matching tattoo designs, and I thought it was really cute, and it was hilarious Bucky's butt tattoo. I just really fell in love with the fic right away, and I couldn't stop reading it, and I just hope that other people enjoy it too ❤️

Move over, Cinderella, and take your glass slippers with you. Steve doesn't need them to find his true love when he has butt tattoos!

Thank you for reccing this, anon. It sounds fantastic! xD

When Steve wakes from the ice he's disoriented and panicked. The Tattoo on his right arm of a blue star only confuses him further. As time goes on, he becomes too busy with adapting to the 21st century and aliens to care about the mysterious tattoo. That is until a second one appears.

After losing his left arm in an accident on a research expedition in his final year of college, Bucky enrolls into the Stark Industries Experimental Prosthetics Program and is fitted with a metal arm that brandishes a red star. His buddy Gabe works in a tattoo shop and likes to use Bucky as his practice canvas. After Bucky got the metal arm, Gabe thinks it would be funny to have a matching blue star inked onto Bucky's right arm.

While performing a check up on Bucky's arm, Tony notices Bucky's tattoos match the ones that have been mysteriously appearing on Steve's skin and makes the connection.When Bucky gets a tattoo it appears in the exact same place on Steve's body. The two are connected. The question is: How and Why?

Weekend recommendations

There are many things important to keep a fan community going. Interaction, inspiration, enthusiasm for each other's work, the endless dedicated hours put into fics and art.

The many wonderful people who read them.

Also important are comments and recommendations of works so they don't slip into oblivion.

For a while now I've wanted to contribute to this by recommending fic from my six bookmark collections.

The brightest stars

Walking in the Light

The dark path

The broken hearts

In an other universe

Shameless

So it is with joy and excitement that I present Weekend recommendations.

My hope is that I can recommend a fic every weekend.

There will be new, old, finished, unfinished, long fic, one shots and AU's. There will be a variety of different pairings, though most likely a majority of obikin (what can I say, they're my favorites).

***

My first recommendation is Burning Bird by Ancathepurple from my collection The brightest stars.

This is one of the oldest fic in my collection, and a fic that holds a big place in my heart.

There is a hint of fantasy and some alternative universe world building in this, as Obi-Wan and Anakin are more than just Jedi, they are the last two of the mysterious extremely force-sencetiv mythic creatures known as Star Birds.

There are a few wonderful twists to the story, and I love it for its happy and sweet love story.

This is one of my comfort fics and I've read it several times.

Serious hoseok ff recs pls!!!

here's a few that i've read and LAWD they are all fantastic:

burning flames or paradise by @yoongiphoria

yeah, i begged MJ for another part to this story. i sure did. i have no shame. this was so fucking fantastic i was gritting my teeth the whole way through it because it hurt so good. give me 10,000 MJ stories forever. please. thanks.

the one where hoseok plays with fire by @eoieopda

okay, so i begged jade for a sequel to this to but like? i'm? easy? haha i dunno, give me a world as rich and compelling as this and honestly you can't blame me for being a little insane afterwards. i could go on and on about how fucking talented jade is but her writing does the work for me. phew. so good.

the wood by @sailoryooons

you wanna talk about someone who nails everything she touches? hali: she does. not. miss. hali weaves through genres and characters so beautifully that none of her stories feel the same, they're all riveting, and they all leave me winded like i just ran a mile. insane talent. and i promise, this hoseok is very ... serious 😉

i'm also going to pour one out for one of the OG bad boy hoseok fics on this site, one of the first i ever read where he was just bad but it was oh so good. whereever you are @joonbird i hope life is treating you well. you can read heartbeat here and it doesn't even matter that it's not finished, it's still worth the ride 💕
