  1. Summary

    Stories about Xiaojun's sexy misadventures and misunderstandings as he progresses through the idol industry. Each is a sequel of the next within the same universe, but they can be read individually. I'm considering this series complete for now, but you never know what sequels and spin-offs the future may bring...

    Summary

    Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.

    He breaks the surface.

    His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.

    “Naiad,” a voice says.

    Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.

    ---

    On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

    Summary

    Seokjin is twenty-three and living his best life. He doesn’t want to deal with negative bullshit like his uptight neighbour’s unsolicited comments on how he’s actually a hot mess. Namjoon, meanwhile, is thirty-nine, stressed trying to get tenure, and does not want to listen to his twink-neighbour’s sex parties.

    Too bad they’re desperate to fuck each other.

    Summary

    Seonghwa has a life worked out just the way he likes it. He teaches middle school science (and loves it), he hangs out with his best friends San and Wooyoung at the cafe they own, and with those two major sources of chaos in his life, he definitely prefers a nice quiet personal life.

    But when he has a chance meeting with idol Hongjoong at a fansign, he can’t deny there’s a spark between them. (Wooyoung, for his part, is more than happy to encourage this spark along.) Seonghwa doesn’t need the mess of trying to date an idol - really, he doesn’t - but that doesn’t change anything about just how attractive he finds Hongjoong.

    And then Hongjoong has a niece who needs some tutoring after falling behind in school. Surely Seonghwa can help Hongjoong out while keeping his commitment to a mundane life and not letting his attraction turn into anything more, right?

    Summary

    In late 2012, Kim Seokjin and BigHit Entertainment parted ways. Seokjin went to the dorm, packed his things, and left. One summer afternoon in what feels like another life altogether, he runs into Namjoon, who no longer is a fellow trainee, but a global superstar and leader of BTS.

    To his surprise, Namjoon wants to reconnect. As they become closer, however, Seokjin struggles with his growing attraction as well as the biggest ‘what if’ of all: being almost BTS.

    And All the Trimmings by Anna (pineconepickers)

    Absolutely magnificent canon divergent fic, and so much great stuff covered. Goes deep into being a non-celebrity dating an idol and the anxieties involved with that. Explores what adult life looks like after being /this close/ to debut and all the weirdness of knowing those dudes you used to share a dorm with are all superstars now. Really poignant stuff about being closeted in the industry, part of it made my queer heart ache in sympathy. And even a nice little look at fangirling while being a working professional thanks to a fun side character, hahaha. This author has a great way of balancing humor with more serious moments and pacing a story masterfully. Highly recommended even if you don't read BTS fic.

    Summary

    Joshua cleared his throat. “Was it alright, him at your flat?”

    “Yes?” Seungcheol said at once. “Why wouldn’t it be?”

    “Choi Seungcheol.” Joshua drew himself up. “Jeonghan thinks it’s 2016. In 2016 the two of you were still a thing. So, I’m asking you, has this gotten even messier since yesterday?”

    -

    Or, by 2023, Seungcheol has all but forgotten that he and Jeonghan eased the stress of debut by hooking up. Problem is, now Jeonghan can't remember anything else.
