    Summary

    “Spice and silk and trade and cloth. These are the things one goes to war over, but in my heart of hearts, I know they are not worth it.”

    - quoted from a letter penned by the Crown Prince to his lover, at the end of the Southern War

     

    Yoongi is a prisoner-of-war, captured and made to play for the amusement of the cruel Lord. When the Prince of the land, Hoseok, comes to visit his family, he finds Yoongi - and much more, for the asking.

    Certainly one of the best fics I have ever read. Unbelievable character writing, everyone felt so so real. Perfectly executed slow burn. Incredibly engaging plot with brilliant use of structuring. The “letters” at the start of the chapters had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Wow.

    Summary

    Hermit’s Hollow was a quiet town where you learned to ignore whisperings of nonsense and the dull, persistent feeling of being watched before you learned to ride a bike. To call it pedestrian would be a great disservice to all the terrible oddities occupying it— folks and legends alike.

    Not that Grian believed any of them, of course.

    Or; There's something wrong in Hermit's Hollow. There's something wrong with Grian. Neither of these are a surprise to him.

    Incredible. Such an engaging plot line. World building is better than I’ve seen in several published books. I wish I could read it for the first time again! 😭

    Summary

    “It was a moment of weakness, and you were wearing that fucking black turtleneck and I haven’t gotten laid in months, Namjoon, we’ve just been so busy and… and…”

    It’s no use. Seokjin’s red all the way up his neck, it’s heating up his cheeks, and he squeezes his eyes shut, grimacing. “It’s fine,” Namjoon says with a chuckle. “Like I said, it’s honestly fine.”

    “But Namjoon,” Seokjin says weakly, “is there anything I do that makes you want to put the mug out?”

    (A little fic based on the Jess and Nick’s sex mug from the season four finale of New Girl — the mug they used to put out when they wanted to do the do. They break up and one night, the mug is put out. But by who? PS, you don't have to have watched this episode of New Girl to enjoy the fic!)

    Summary

    As Namjoon walks out of the lecture hall, finally done with his second round of midterms, he feels like he can finally breathe again. For the next two days, he has absolutely nothing planned. No work, no tests, no assignments. A whopping two whole days of freedom.

    And the best part about it?

    Seokjin.

    OR

    Their friends always call them a "power couple." Usually, Namjoon smiles at that. Maybe he even takes a little bit of pride in the title.

    Lately, he's come to hate it.

    Hoseok stumbles upon Jeongguk and Taehyung in a series of compromising situations. Now he's convinced they're fucking around behind the rest of their backs, and it's all too familiar in an unsavory way...

    Makes me laugh out loud. Fabulous use of narrative perspective. Such witty writing. Love the combination of “sneaking around” and speculation, it feels so cheeky!
