Title: You Next to Me

Author: me!

Fandom: Astro

Characters/ship: Lee Dongmin/Moon Bin, plus background ships Kim Myungjun/Park Jinwoo and Park Minhyuk/Yoon Sanha, also Moon Sua (this was written before Billlie's debut and I'm still on the fence about whether to even tag the fandom since it's just her)

Rating: AO3-T

Word count: ~63,000, 10/10 chapters

Content warnings: implied/referenced bullying, implied/referenced homophobia

Summary: Bin is an unpaired Sentinel because he's faceblind (and red-green colorblind). He enjoys being on his school's dance team and hanging out with Sanha and Minhyuk, who are a paired Sentinel and Guide team in official government training. His life is upended when Lee Dongmin transfers to their school, Lee Dongmin who's very smart and polite - and is an ugly squid.

Why I recced this: A high school AU + a Sentinel/Guide AU; it was the first long S/G AU in the fandom (at least on AO3; the first S/G fic was also written by me but was much shorter and passed by with barely a blip). Given Bin's truly prodigious sense of smell, writing him as a Sentinel had to be done at least once.

Title: illi sunt liberi fatales
Author/artist: [personal profile] bookishdagger
Fandom: Seventeen
Characters/ship: Jeonghan/Joshua/Seungcheol
Rating: M
Word Count: 65,653
Content warnings: see work tags (no major content warnings otherwise)
Summary:
The last time Jeonghan remembers feeling that complete lack of uncertainty was only minutes before the world ended, the land he was standing on collapsing around him in the first gasp of the apocalypse. Jeonghan had been too weak to stand, would never have made it out had Seungcheol and Joshua not practically carried him the whole way. Jeonghan knew then, if only for those few minutes, that he could trust Seungcheol and Joshua with his life. He wants to return to that moment of clarity, comforting despite its context, but he can’t. The only way to even get close to that again is to find Joshua and Seungcheol.

---

Jeonghan is still alive, even after the world ends. He's determined to hold onto hope the only way he knows how—reuniting his crew.


Reason for reccing: This is a Final Fantasy VI AU that does an excellent job taking the plot of the video game and crafting a textured and meaningful story from it! I had the pleasure of reading along with this fic as my friend was writing it and I am so impressed with how it turned out. If you like adventure stories with great worldbuilding and enjoyable ensemble dynamics, plus a Yoon Jeonghan-centric take on a fantasy story, you should definitely read this one!

Title: Spring Rain
Author: untilitbreaks
Fandom: TXT
Characters/ship: Taehyun/Everyone, Everyone/Everyone
Rating: E
Word count: 87,805
Chapters: 3/3
Content warnings: None, but do read the tags

Summary:

“Yeonjun-hyung said we have something to prove now,” Taehyun says. “And Soobin-hyung said that’s why we need to have a team meeting. They were talking about us, right? Because we’re alphas, and everyone knows that alpha groups don’t last.”

If they fail as a group, they lose each other. Those are the stakes. If they fail each other, things will never be the same. Not as a friend group, not as coworkers, and not as a pack.

“Taehyun,” Kai says firmly, “are you going to stop fighting for us?”

“Fuck no,” Taehyun spits. Nobody is going to take his pack away from him. “Nobody can take you away from me.”

Days before their comeback, Taehyun and Kai present as alphas. Tension grows—breaking the pack apart, and pushing them closer together.


Reason for reccing: i'm relatively new to enjoying omegaverse (meaning i'm kind of picky, maybe even pretentious, about certain things) - and i also prefer fics under 50k - but this is EVERYTHING to me! i read it over 3 days and obsessed over it every second i wasn't reading. if you're looking for carefully crafted txt dynamics and a compelling depiction of the idol industry with omegaverse, i don't think you'll be disappointed. i cried multiple times.

Title: So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings (series)
Author/artist: sneakiest
Fandom: NCT 127, NCT, NCT Dream, WayV
Characters/ship: Johnny/Mark, Jaehyun/Yuta
Rating: E
Content warnings: Nothing that I can think of. The JohnMark fics are tamer then the Yuta/Jaehyun ones, which deal with a lot of anxiety, family pressure, vaguely disordered eating, serious injury and disability
Word Count: 193,460 (for the entire series)
Recommendation: This is a five-fic series, six if you count the sequel to Round Each Other Up, which is the spin off series about Jaehyun and Yuta. The final fic in the series is incomplete, but the rest of the fics are complete, and with the exception to hello stranger (the previously mentioned Round Each Other Up sequel) each fic is a complete work unto itself.

The series follows Mark as he attends college and forms a relationship with his hot TA, Johnny, and then pivots over to Johnny's roommate, Jaehyun. It's a classic romance series, and I love seeing this friend group grow, expand and learn about each other.

I was so intrigued by the excerpt in the summary of this fic that I got myself inducted into Wayv (via an extremely generous powerpoint provided by the author! <3) specifically to read it. 100% worth it, it's brilliant and wonderfully understated about love, life, change and what really matters:

Speaking Cat (28931 words) by aceaceaceace
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: NCT (Band)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Ten Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul/Qian Kun
Characters: Qian Kun, Ten Chittaphon Leechaiyapornkul, Leon | WayV Ensemble's Cat, Louis | WayV Ensemble's Cat, WayV Ensemble
Additional Tags: Canon Universe, idolverse, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Future Fic, Disbandment, Non-Linear Narrative, Breaking Up & Making Up, Second Chances
Summary:

“Kun ge, are you sure you don’t want to talk to Ten?”

“Why would I want to talk to him?”

“He used to be your—”

“It doesn’t matter what he used to be. Now, he’s just the asshole who broke up WayV and stole my cats.”
