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.
what are your fav tropes for bmjn?
ok soooo first strangers to lovers (like with a friends stage) bc i loove seeing the process of them getting to know each other.. so cute and endearing. and i love angst with a happy ending (BUT IT HAS TO BE A HAPPY HAPPY ENDING otherwise i’ll be like was this pain i just went through even worth it). i dont think ive read much of this but i love the idea of silly college aus for beomjun. just putting them in (fun) Situations at university
i just realized you mentioned fav tropes in your carrd i'm so sorryfdfdsjfhjs BUT I AM CURIOUS ABOUT THE SHIP-TROPE PART
what are your most and least favorite tropes in fics? and what tropes do you usually associate with each ship (or your Main ones)? :D
i have so many fav tropes.. one i havent mentioned is i looove silly miscommunication.. actually i kinda love angsty miscommunication too.. as for ships i think the tropes i associate with each of them are
🧸🐰- oblivious friends to lovers or fwb
🧸🦊- strangers to friends to lovers
🧸🐱- like. practice kissing or sex or dating
🧸🐧- silly fwb
i can elaborate on any of these if u want :3
YOUR RS THEME IS SO KEWT.... it reminds me of sgyu... cinnasoob and little pup bomgie... :3
fav bg ship dynamic??
SOOOO i really love all bg ship dynamics i will tell u why then i’ll tell u my favorite.
bg + sb are like. they are soulmates. it doesnt even have to be romantic. they have such a deep understanding of each other there doesnt even need to be words between them. they’re just so natural with each other. im so obsessed with the “i like becoming childish with you” thing soobin said like they are so comfortable with each other and have so much fun tgt on top of understanding each other emotion wise.
bg + yj are like so so cute and playful and bicker-y but when it comes down to it they also have a beautiful bond as well. yj takes care of bg so well i love how they can go from petty to sweet so quickly.
bg + th i feel like tyun inspires bg to be better in any and all ways and tyun id just sooo earnest abt giving bg all the attention he needs and deserves. he is so kind and sweet with him.
bg + kai match each others energy SO perfectly like they are little rascals together. they are cutie patooties together. they’re just such a good fit it’s so fun and silly and adorable and cute and i love how bg always wants to be reliable for kai
MY FAVORITE IS… soogyu.. but i do love all… soogyu just really got my attention bc of how perfectly in tune they are!!!
