Summary
“Pardon me,” a low voice said from behind them.
Almost as one, the Wen all turned and Wei Wuxian had to crane his neck to get a look at the speaker. Through the sweat and pain stinging his eyes, he could still say the man was probably the handsomest he'd ever seen. A cultivator, then, but not one Wei Wuxian would ever associate with one of the established sects.
"You are disturbing my mother," he said.

Summary
It’s not that Lancelot thinks he’s entitled to anything. It’s not even that it burns to watch the two people he loves most revolve around a man he highly respects. Truly, it has nothing to do with either him or Arthur, he considers, watching Merlin quietly clean the knights’ swords by the light of the moon.
It’s just that he thinks Merlin deserves better, sometimes.

Summary
“Okay,” Jingyi says, as Sizhui puzzles this out aloud. “Okay! So the demon has been turning its victims into children.”
“I think so,” Sizhui says.
“To make them easier prey,” Jingyi says.
“Yes,” Sizhui says.
“So—” Jingyi’s voice cracks here, “this kid is Senior Wei.”
Wei Wuxian, still tangled in his own massive robes, blinks politely at them.
(Or: Wei Wuxian is cursed on a night-hunt, and the junior quartet rapidly finds themselves in over their heads.)

Summary
Yoongi had been aware of the shadow for as long as he could remember.
Sometimes he went months without feeling like it was just a few steps behind him or waiting around the next corner. But no matter how long he was able to avoid it, it always came back. Always.
It's 1993, and Yoongi is a music major starting his sophomore year in college. A bunch of stupid dares from his friends aren't supposed to turn his world upside down. Then again, maybe it's not the dares. Maybe it's just Taehyung.

DUDE. and I mean dude the expression-of-disbelief-aimed-at-the-universe not dude the way-to-refer-informally-to-a-male. because this fic deserves that all-caps DUDE. I don't even know if I should call this a fic, it's long af and so well-done I'd buy it at bookstore EVEN IF the cover was ugly.
tl,dr: I don't know what to say. I'm honestly speechless its just THAT good.

Summary
Yoongi's neighbour tries to kill him.
He's not particularly offended; she is, after all, four. What he is offended by is her father. Her kind, funny father, who smiles at him like the sun and is just as blinding...
(Or: Jung Hoseok is the single father of the weirdest child Min Yoongi has ever met, and he thinks he might be falling in love.)

frustrating, horribly frustrating, in the BEST way something can be frustrating. like waiting for a text back from someone you like, or for dessert at a fancy restaurant. it takes a while but it's worth the time.
tl,dr: slow burn angst heaven (with a satisfying happy ending)

a sweater is worth 60.000 words, because it isn't about the sweater, really, it's about the cute-ass relationship we found along the way. 10/10 yellow sweaters with blue patches.
tl,dr: two awkward boys love a sweater (and each other).

(Or: six boys run a magical emporium together and Jeon Jungkook is looking for a place to belong.)

a magic adventure that isn't at all about magic, like biting into a pastry you didn't know had jam in it, but the jam is really fucking good, like, might-make-you-cry good.
tl,dr: a beautiful, warm and tasty story.

Summary
Taehyung thinks his boss is cool.
Receiving weird mail from creepy old people? Opening a place for hipsters in a quiet area? The fake deer skull looking at the back of his head hanging on the wall behind the counter? Fucking cool.
Eating an enchanted treat by accident and having Yoongi freaking out because he’s not being affected by it? Not cool.

Summary
And, perhaps, there was another reason for his relentlessness in targeting the pastel boy that he wasn't fully aware of. Maybe it was the way Yoongi dressed. Or, again, the fact Yoongi deliberately ignored him. Or maybe it was because of the rumor that had gone around the school that the pastel boy was gay.
And so was Park Jimin. Except none but one else knew it, and none but that one other had ever even suspected it.
And if Jimin could do something about it, no one else ever would.
[Or: Yoongi shows Jimin how to show his true colors.]

Summary
It would have been selfish of him to say that he was lonely – he has always had Namjoon and Seokjin but Taehyung was different, he was like a breeze of fresh air and his presence –
“Are you Min Yoongi?” His pity party has been interrupted by a somewhat shy voice so he straightened his back in order to look more presentable, his cat-like eyes studying the face of the stranger. The heart-shaped smile stole the show but dark browns followed his every trait, their owner’s lips twitching slightly at the pointy ears that were peeking from under blonde curls. The boy looked a bit intimidated so Yoongi reminded himself to nod once as to answer to the previous question. “Your art is amazing, I always come to these exhibitions to look at your works alone.” The boy rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. “I’m sorry –”
OR
The story in which Yoongi allows himself to feel and learns that love doesn't have to hurt

Summary
Kim Taehyung is whipped and thirsty (maybe a tad awkward). Min Yoongi hides something and has wall after wall to protect himself. Park Jimin and Jeon Jeongguk can't really get their shit together. Jung Hoseok wears snapbacks at all appropriate and inappropriate times. Kim Namjoon is intrigued by one particular dancer and Kim Seokjin is the flamboyant straight to meet the quota.
---
“Hi.” The word leaves his lips like a choked gasp and he instantly wants to turn around and run away again, possibly hide forever. He sounded weird, oh god, how is it even possible to say ‘Hi’ in the most embarrassing tone ever? He wants the freaking ground to open up and swallow him whole.
Yoongi doesn’t smile as he looks at him, his face stays motionless. “Hi?” The elder repeats it like a question and Taehyung shuts completely down. He hasn’t thought this far. He didn't even think he would come this far.
---
Is Taehyung able to woo an emotional constipated Yoongi with his awkward advances?

Summary
Kim Taehyung lives a happy existence, free of worry and full of joy, and as a psychology major he definitely knows how rare that is. His biggest concerns are unannounced quizzes, crafting love stories around him out of the raw potential of the human soul, and sparring with his long-time friend and soul-opposite Min Yoongi. It's incredible to him how easily the world falls at his feet, but he'll always use his powers for good.
And college is a time for experiences and new challenges, but when changes appear on his placid horizon, new people and drama and even the potential for his own heart to twist around another person, he wonders if his happiness had always depended on things staying exactly the same.

Summary
“i’m yoongi,” he says. “hoseok’s roommate? he asked if i would be willing to drive you to work so here i am.” jeongguk stares at yoongi’s outstretched hand—nails covered in chipped black polish, which are attached to a very long and veiny hand, which is coming out of a fucking leather jacket, which is thrown over a black shirt, which is tucked into a pair of very tight and ripped black jeans, which come to rest above a pair of black combat boots, and that’s just—not fair. at all.
somehow, jeongguk manages to make the part of his brain not connected to his dick work enough to raise his hand, grasping onto yoongi’s a little too tightly. he swallows thickly, praying to god that his face isn’t as red as it feels when he looks yoongi in the eye again and lets out a quiet, “hi.”
(or: yoongi is a bad boy, jeongguk is a baby boy, and opposites always attract.)
