hi lex! i hope you’re okay! i have a question for you and everyone. does anyone know this taekook fic where jungkook is a pretty famous author and seokjin is his publisher (i think) and seokjin makes jungkook go to this cabin near the woods where jungkook eventually meets taehyung? and i think taehyung is a crow hybrid? and one of the tags was “hunger as a metaphor for desire”. the vibes of the fic were very mysterious and spooky and the cabin was definitely near a forest. i remember these details pretty clearly. please lmk if you have/find the link 🙏
https://archiveofourown.org/works/38505790 here u go lovely! this is the fic you’ve been looking for :) sending much love

hiii !!! just finished reading this, it was so fun and cute! thank you for sending it in!
joon was upset and he deserved his fucking sandwich damn!!!! and jimin was gonna make sure of that!!! sue him for loving his big gentle boyfriend that much :(
i have a soft spot for side ships too i have to say, especially when they’re not only mentioned in passing but they get their own cute short moments - even if the ship im reading about is another one! i also have some side ships i prefer with specific main ships hehe for example if im reading a namkook fic, i love if there’s side vmin and viceversa. just one example out of many heh
anyway! thank you again 🤎
i'm pretty sure you haven't read anything i've written but that's OK!! 2 of my stories are in the qrts to your post about most/least popular works, and when i complete the unfinished one i'll send it to you as a DM 💕 (with no expectation that you read it!! just as a thank you for being part of what kept me going)
take care!

i’ll look forward to that, it would make me insanely happy and of course i’ll read it are you kidding me! your writing must be as lovely as yourself! i hope you’re having a good week so far 💞💞
Hello! Do you have any tae centric fics lying around ??
hello!!
not that many myself, i only remember this one! http://archiveofourown.org/works/30257463 but there’s this lovely thread from deni https://x.com/lilprincegoo/status/1740752332865040867?s=46 of taehyung centric fics and also just yesterday i stumbled upon this thread from @yunkidior https://x.com/yunkidior/status/1787555672344641690?s=46 . enjoy!!
Hiii! I just wanted to ask if you (or anyone) could help me find a fic? It's a Taekook one shot (i think) where they are friends or roommates and jk has his first time with his boyfriend but it's horrible, so tae shows him how sex is supposed to be? I can't find it anywhere ;;; btw, thank you so much for all the amazing recs!!
hi! 🤎 thank you for loving the recs!!!
btw, let me know if it’s this the fic you were looking for <3 https://x.com/theinklings13/status/1787428967114285142?s=46
get behind me! gotta fight ungrateful anon 🤺🤺🤺
seriously tho nothing they wrote is true!! i found this account when i was in a really low place, feeling like there was no point writing in this fandom because people only read what their friends write or works by big names. you showed me that even if that's true for some, there are LOADS of lovely readers out there who don't care about stats/author profiles and who will give small stories and authors a chance. you read and rec things that make you genuinely happy and in the process you make writers feel seen & supported & excited to be in this community. your passion and kindness kept me from giving up writing, and your account helped me remember that stats mean nothing, it's all about the lovely readers along the way. that anon must be blind or bitter if they can't recognize how wonderful you are. thanks for being you, lexie!

hi!!
no need to fight anyone, your words and support are enough for me. the things you just said to me are genuinely so special - sometimes it can feel disheartening for writers to approach a fandom as big as the bts one, where it feels like at times you’re just shouting into the void but i always think that every story (in this case, since we’re talking about fics) will find its intended audience at some point. some of them will be lucky enough to find it by themselves, others will need a little push from a couple of people but then it’ll be alright! i’m so glad you’ve found it in yourself to keep writing and sharing your stories! and i wish you only the best of readers out there, you deserve them!
thank you for being so sweet 🤎
p.s. i always wonder if i ever read something from you or not yet, or if you’re one of the stories i have saved to read… i’m just so curious!
Hello! Just asking if I could have a thread of the best VMK fics that you’ve read?
P.S. could it mostly be tae centric? (Or even just fics where tae isn’t kind of just written off or written as some shallow character🥹😅
hi 🤎
okay so, if you check my poly thread 90% of the fics in there are all vminkook because it’s my favorite poly ship to read and all the ones i’ve recommended, ive liked!
my faves among the ones i’ve recommended would be for sure these ones

http://archiveofourown.org/works/44214025 (this one’s darker, but if that’s your cup of tea - this is one of my fav fics ever)
there’s only one taehyung centric fic here, but in these i’ve never found taehyung’s character to be written as shallow! hope it’s the same for you 🤎
Hi. I’m a small writer myself. I guest that anon is living in negative space because you’ve been doing the exact opposite of what they said, for as long as I’ve known your rec account, which was from the beginning, pretty much. I’m not sure what the right words are but I want to assure you that you are the realest, most authentic person in this community. You see something you like, so you recommend it. There’s no tricks or tactics or idk what. From your recs alone, your genuine love for the stories you read, regardless of anything but the plot, and the plot alone, transcends and it’s wonderful to see because this space is all about numbers, unfortunately. So THANK YOU for seeing the content itself and not the numbers to deem of its worth. You treat all stories equally and that means a lot. I’m sorry for that false perspective this anon is trying to plaster on your name. And again, thank you for supporting us writers who only want to tell a story. If it reaches only one person, then our work is done. You help us do that and you always have nothing but kindness for us. I couldn’t even begin to explain how your recs have broaden my reading horizon., and they’re all so good. You are a sweetheart and those anon have no idea what they’re talking about. I bet they never even looked through all your recommandations. Regardless of them, I hope they don’t dim your spirits. You’re a gem, keep doing what you’re doing. Us writers, we love you 💚
i wish words were able to explain the big huge smile you’ve put on my face! knowing this means so much to me - being online can be very tricky, especially in big fandoms as this one and it can become hard reaching out to people and establish some kind of dialogue, of relationship. being received with so much warmth is all i could have ever hoped and more!!!
it makes me happy supporting writers to the best of my ability, which in this case it’s only by sharing, commenting, interacting, cheering them on & listening to them when they need a new perspective. and i’m always going to show kindness to people who have shown it to me.
i have no idea what i did to deserve all your loving words, but im going to cherish them dearly. and dont worry please, it’s hard for me to let a couple of people dim my spirits when i have all of this radiant energy to fuel them with. thank you, thank you, thank you, i love you! 💚💚
do you have any recs with demi characters? preferably yoonmin but im fine w any ships!
hi! i fear i only have this jikook fic http://archiveofourown.org/works/53913526 with demisexual jimin. i’ll try to ask for more tho, check my twitter too!! 🥺
As a small writer I’m wishing all those anons a very happy life away from you and your account :((( I’m so happy to see you post/gush about fics that make /you/ happy [ regardless of what writer they’re from or what the fics stats look like ]!!! Like honestly I enjoy reading your comments about the fics as much as the stories themselves!! You’re seriously so sweet and honestly you don’t have to rec fics/maintain this account at all, but you do!!! Which is already a labor of love and I appreciate all the work you put into it :DDD
Also anon(s) there are accounts that specialize in lesser known writers/works if that’s what you’re /really/ looking for… maybe go follow those accounts instead of going out of your way to be rude to someone who is graciously posting about fics they find joy in. There is no need to treat someone so ungratefully, when she is just doing something out of the goodness of her heart…
hello 🩵🩵
im honestly really happy with the people i have around because the big majority of them is like you, kind and enthusiastic, and a couple of bitter people won’t make that go away! thank you for taking the time to send this message, it was SO nice to read 🩵🩵 i hope u have a great week ahead of you!!!!
everyone, at the end of the day, will find the community they deserve and have a place in. that gives me peace 🩵
all rec accs are the same. you share a small work here and there, and the rest of the time you promote the same fics by the same authors as everyone else its boring af
hello to you too!
what you seem to be forgetting is that most rec accounts are born from people wanting to share what they read with others to find their own community and have somewhere they can talk about the stories they have enjoyed.
speaking for myself here — my account was literally ONLY an archive where i used to put the things i enjoyed reading and wanted to remember. the fact that slowly more people started to find it out and happened to enjoy the same things as me was a lovely non-planned plus that made me transform my account in a proper recommendation one. but that doesnt mean that i don’t have my own preferences, my own tastes and my own opinions 😊 it’s simply impossible for me to like everything from everyone (i will never even manage in one lifetime to actually READ everything from everyone) so it seems only fair, to me, that i give priority to what sounds interesting, again, TO ME. seems only fair to do on my very own account, or am i wrong?
i dont read fics to reach a diversity quota. i read as a means to enjoy what free time i have. i certainly don’t organize my recommendations based on smaller or bigger authors, on more or less kudos, on a bajillion comments or three of them. i LOVE when i can recommend fics with very little engagement to try and make other people interact with them when i do find them, but that will not always be the case. sometimes im going to read the same fic 30 thousands other people have read already and i’m going to enjoy it and i’m going to share it with the people on here. is that a crime now? do let me know!
i’m certainly not holding u here with locks and chains! go find your own community or if you have so much to say about rec accounts in general, go make your own! just take care of telling me which one it is so that we don’t cross paths since our opinions and tastes are this different. have a great one!
hii! could you recommend some taegi or taejin fics? 🥺
hi 💚 yes, of course!
these are taegi fics
