anon you are sooooo evil for this. i love you.
it’s really difficult to rank across all fandoms so i’ll just do one from each fandom! also this is adding onto https://x.com/dddddeonghwa/status/1679907930328694784?s=46&t=n7kNVeBM-z-VTn3lwcSrOw they are ALL my roman empires.

1. exo: office antics by sutecha (https://areum-daun.livejournal.com/341.html) the office!au. this is probably the only unfinished fic that i have reread multiple times
2. nct: castling by minhyukwithagun (deadlylampshades) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/15315570) (dojae) i’d be surprised if not everyone in nct ficdom knows this. deserves to be a fandom classic if it isnt already (im out of touch)
3. skz: star chaser/sun keeper by dustshells (https://archiveofourown.org/series/2224347) (2min) (this was what i was referring to in this tweet https://x.com/dddddeonghwa/status/1710457717641588805?s=46&t=n7kNVeBM-z-VTn3lwcSrOw)
4. atz: (love you) tuna moon and back by suheafoams (https://archiveofourown.org/works/21689908) (seongjoong) this fic single handedly made me want a black cat
5. svt: jump, stunt and tumble by geguri (tofuflower) (https://archiveofourown.org/works/27214720) (soonwoo) sooooooooo delightful

BOOM 5 more bc there’s no way i can exclude these
1. exo: zodiac by inkin_brushes (i think the fic itself was deleted…)
2. tbz: the jujae lawyer au by anon…i miss u dearly anon 🫶
3. skz: open your eyes and see / offbeat, off-kilter by flying_dream (https://archiveofourown.org/series/2208555) (hyunsung) (i believe all hyunsungers know and love this)
4. atz: the invisible danger by sangiebyheart (http://archiveofourown.org/works/34530178) (woojoong) vibrating at a frequency that could shatter glass i love this a very normal amount
5. svt: desire three shades distant by lacquer (https://archiveofourown.org/works/22181821) (97z) (deserves WAY more love…what a masterpiece)
