you’re not a fairytale (and dreams were not meant for sleeping) by minisode
https://archiveofourown.org/works/29842203/chapters/73427379 just take my word for it that this fic is so so good. this is like the taebin bible in my head
for tyunning
all my tomorrows by taegirights
https://archiveofourown.org/works/27313651/chapters/66734872 warlock huening kai is something so beautiful… and the tyunning is soooo good
Why do you keep saying ‘It takes two’ flopped? It was really good!!
i need to start with a disclaimer that i really REALLY appreciate everyone who’s supported the fic like every kudos and commend and every like, rt, quote, bookmark, and reply actually really make me so happy and appreciative. i go back and read the nice things people have said over and over!! im genuinely so grateful people took time out of their day to leave a comment or a like. i don’t want to appear like i dont appreciate it!!
i joke that it flopped because when i compare it to my other fics it just seems to not have done as well to me i guess? and it takes two was definitely a LOT more work for me and i invested so much time in it so i would have hoped it would do better. but i don’t regret anything because i write because i love writing, not for validation!! i’m so happy that i wrote it and finished it and published it like i wanted!! it’s just that sometimes i do crave a little bit more validation since it was such a long meticulous process, but overall i am happy with it!
are there any fics/soc med aus that you recommend? i want to read smth but i can't find anything interesting rn

eternity by staylonely https://archiveofourown.org/works/57570880?view_adult=true
im reading this right now and the writing is just so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
i can give MANY, many more if you want.. just say the word.. u can request by ships too (i tried to mix it up. except they all include bg bc im obsessed with him)
Something you religiously do when you write!
it genuinely makes me emotional to see how vulnerable soogyu are with each other and the way they care about each other in all the ways that matter. like they Know each other's love languages so well and they actively do things that align with them and it's SOOOOFKEISJSFKRD god i'm not your strongest soldier
https://retrospring.net/@princesspuppy/a/112622865342000681 we have the same tropes for soogyu (where i also love if it's them experiencing their firsts with e/o in whatever way even if it's the smallest sign of affection) and taegyu hehe for beomjun it's enemies to lovers (i'm just a girl) or established relationship (certain fics that i read when getting into txt rpf simply shaped me as a person when it comes to specific pairings) and for beomkai it's. a very interesting case because it's 2 ends of a spectrum. either tooth-rotting fluff friends to lovers coming of age type of thing or something Insane and Juicy 🫣 AND DO ELABORATE ON BEOMKAI that's so interesting to me, i didn't expect to see fwb for them but i also Get It
so for me my fav tropes for each ship is usually influenced by whatever fic/s i enjoyed most for that ship!! we rlly do have similar taste bc i was nodding my head reading all of this, ICB I FORGOT TO MENTION COMING OF AGE thats one of my favorite types of fics especially when its just really beautifully written. SOO to elaborate on beomkai as i said fics i loved influence my fav tropes and i read this AMAZING SPECTACULAR BEAUTIFUL beomkai fic that was just so so good and they were fwb who caught feelings I JUST ENJOYED IT SO MUCH!!! it’s definitely up there with my fav fics ever and that is why i love fwb trope beomkai and here is the masterpiece herself it’s winter warmer by bomkai (f0resia) https://archiveofourown.org/works/52490656?view_adult=true
this is the bmjn au (https://x.com/ninetqs/status/1628520790378401792?t=-ZpEIH7bMgMGn-Zz7ckBgQ&s=19) you can find the link in the replies !! the author left their twt account and wanted to clean out her tweets but accidentally deleted the thread so it's only viewable through google drive now which she made herself c: it's pretty long but SOOO WORTH IT i agree with anon !!
(also, if you view it through images, don't get confused if your images go from "image-009" and jump to "image-011" , there's nothing missing in between, it's all good! as long as the numbers are in an increasing order) (the author already explained it in her notes though)
if you do end up checking it out, i hope you'll enjoy :3
since you asked for xtx au recs, have you ever read ninetqs's bmjn au? it's literally one of the best things i've ever read. love her writing more than anything and the story gets better and better as you go !!
what are ur fav fics or aus?
I HAVE SO MANY 😭🫶 let me just share a couple for now. one of my fav fics is twenty thirty-one by ninetqs https://archiveofourown.org/works/44093524 the soogyu in this… the pining.. so so perfect 🫶 also another fav fic of mine is can you feel the rush by permutative (predebut) https://archiveofourown.org/works/27748702/chapters/67921312 this fic seriously changed me forever and i’ll never be the same. also 1 more fav of mine is just around the corner by bbhplsruinme https://archiveofourown.org/works/52035559 i am a huge lover of romcoms so this was soooo perfect and fun
what are some of your wip ideas?
i so badly wish i could talk about my fest wips.. but i will tell u some of my others.. some i have started writing and some are still ideas
- beomkai as middle school teachers. beomgyu is the art teacher and kai is the music teacher.. beomgyu has a huge crush on kai and accidentally suggests they get married when they're drunk
- soogyu fic where beomgyu is a nanny. i cant tell u more it’s a secret
-pt.2 to my posted fem beomjun fic with some fwb problems and angst and a happy ending
-taegyu magical realism au where one or both of them are some kind of nature spirit
-taejun cheerleader x soccer player au
ok this is hard bc i genuinely feel like all the members are REALLY good with matching each others freak but since u mentioned yeonkai u have scratched an itch in my brain and im like… yeah ur so right… bc i think yeonkai are like. weird /affectionate boys u know. Weird boy 1 and weird boy 2. so they match each others freak like super well without much effort. do you know what im saying. so anyways yeonkai deep kiss when. woah who said that. soogyu puppy play constantly displays them matching each others freak and thats just 1 example. i agree beomjun match each others freak too but i cant even describe why its just like. Look At Them.
