Summary
Preparing to start a new chapter of his life working in the polished elite world of plastic surgery, Doctor Lee Minho is suddenly jerked into the past when a memory he’d long given up on reaches out. Flying to the remote protected island of Aear he hopes to get answers and find closure for wounds left to rot by his best friend’s sudden disappearance years ago.
Landing on pristine beaches he’s thrown into a world he could never have imagined where instead of answers he finds lies, heartbreak, and the cutest cult leader/nurse from hell… oh, and fucking mermaids.
-
“Please.” Wiggling his eyebrows Jisung flashes a teasing grin. “If I wanted to kill you I wouldn’t have purposefully missed when I threw the coffee cup.”Snorting at his joke Minho wades in up to his calves before coming to a stop. “Like hell you missed. Your aim sucks...."
(Jisung is a sassy smart-ass who hates Minho on sight. Minho is stubborn, whipped and wants Jisung...badly)
🙏 If mermaids aren't your thing, I hope you will still give this a try! I was aiming for unique, fun, angsty and lots of Minsung love.

8/10. Soooo I decided to give the mermaid mpreg fic a chance because I love Yoonmincraze. It wasn't my favorite on of their fics, but I still enjoyed! And, even though I love their stories, I can't keep overlooking the comma issue. THE COMMA ISSUE. Also, ok, tbh I've always hated the pregnancy trope, but lately every single time I happen to read mpreg I am 0% upset and ridiculously invested in the plot. Maybe it's because the characters always love each other so much through it all and it's never treated as a bad thing? And maybe because no women are involved so there's no opportunity for my brain to self-insert so I don't feel icked out? Idk man. Sigh. Anyway... Loved the biblically accurate Minho rapid-fire blinking! Also, ya girl is a visual learner and this fic had me looking up how a dolphin gives birth to better visualize what the fuck was going on with their siren tails LMAO. Love when a fic teaches me something new ahahaha. And, as always, I love how Yoonmincraze writes Minho's love for Jisung. Ugh.

Summary
He held his breath and settled in to wait, but Jisung never expected to live a lifetime without air...
Taken from his pack Jisung mourns his brother's death and prays for a swift end to it all. But what happens when instead of execution, he finds the love he'd spent his life waiting for?
________
“… we could go at the same time. You take mine and I’ll take yours. That way we can come back together.”
Hiccuping, tears fall freely down Jisung's face dripping to the bare chest below him. “You think we’ll find each other in the next life?”
“Oh my pretty baby… there is no life we live at the same time where I don’t search for you. I only pray that in the next one, I’m not the cause of your tears…”
(An A/B/O Romeo and Juliet style fic but with a happy ending)

Bookmarker's Notes
9/10. Another high-scoring fic from my QUEEN. Is the writing as polished as some of their other works? No, but bestie still has a massive talent for storytelling! And, as with most Yoonmincraze fics, it was ANGSTY. But the circumstances were highkey understandable and it didn’t feel crazy frustrating like War and Rain’s angst. In the end it's worth it anyway! The moment where Minsung finally talks it out (well, more like fights it out) and confesses is sooooo fulfilling. I reread it twice before moving on hehe. Also, their dance scene was SO good UGHH MY HEARTTT. & finally an omegaverse where the characters can fully shift! I did find myself skimming through the smut though, it wasn’t hitting for some reason and I just wanted to get back to the plot already. Maybe I'm just in an anti-smut mood rn. Oh and there is mpreg, but at this point ya girl does not give two shits. I love Minsung and I love a good story and nothing else matters. Get each other pregnant for all I care, they’re in love your honor!

Summary
Jisung’s hyperventilating. The stubby fingers, the muscular thighs that seem to stretch even the loose cut of the gray sweatpants. The fabric well-loved and slightly faded, just like the fabric of Minho’s favorite pair of sweatpants. The ones Jisung had seen him in only two days ago.
It can’t be.
The tale of Crown Prince Han Jisung, the anonymous camboy he's obsessed with, his childhood best friend Chief of Royal Guard Lee Minho, and the way everything ties together in the end.

Bookmarker's Notes
10/10!!! I LOVE THIS. I AM FILLED WITH JOY. Let me take you on a tour of all the reasons I am obsessed with this fic. First of all, it’s peak comedy. I laughed SO much. Especially at every interaction with Seungmin, I fucking love Seungmin (to absolutely no one’s surprise). This author is just really good at writing banter between all of skz, ugh. Second, I just loooove a royal au and no one can take that away from me. Third, it’s a besties to lovers trope which is shamelessly my favorite! And Minsung is MINSUNGING in this!! So good, so good, especially the gym scene where Jisung is absolutely thirsting over Minho hehe. Also, it features biblically accurate Minsung nonverbal communication which we LOOOVE. Fourth, the author uses royal/noble titles properly (WHAT a turn on, this is practically foreplay, are they trying to seduce me??). Fifth, I really like how the author finds ways to subtly weave in additional lore that's not really story-relevant but further fleshes out the characters. And, as an honorable mention, Berry and Dori are Chan and Minho’s horses! Very cute we support! Anyways, I digress. Read this fic!!!

Summary
A garbled, dry laugh bubbles up from his chest.
Yeah, sure. Of course. A wolf finds him, just in time for dinner. He doesn't even have the energy to panic, his body feels like it's dissolving into the dirt. Becoming one with the forest floor.
Death by wolf. So on brand.
The warmth of the wet snout vanishes and, weirdly, Jisung almost misses it. There had been something oddly comforting in the nosing. Gentle, even.
Then someone swears, a soft voice that's definitely human. It nearly gets drowned out by the rain. Jisung hadn't heard anyone approach.
"Hey," that someone says and suddenly there are firm hands on Jisung's shoulders, shaking him gently. "Can you hear me?"
(Or: Jisung is an aspiring producer in a slump, following his best friend out to the countryside for a change of pace. What he finds there might change more than just his perspective.)

9/10. Veeeeery heartfelt and full of good vibes. Enjoyed how the author placed shifters with omegaverse dynamics in the real world alongside humans! Fantastic Minsung reunion scene at the end, I did shed a tear. I also just love the idea of being able to hang out & snuggle with your friends/partner while they’re in their animal form, the concept is just so freaking cute.

Summary
Lee Felix has been on the run for weeks, desperate for a place to wait out both the winter and his abusive Alpha. When he stumbles upon a house, door unlocked, it's not the notion of safety that draws him, though – it's the scents coming from within. Namely, the scents coming from their laundry room.
If only he knew that, as obsessed with their scents as he is, the very pack whose house he keeps breaking into is slowly but surely becoming just as obsessed with him too.

8/10. This was actually kinda fire. It was really funny but also steamy at the same time which was an entertaining combo. At first I was like, an ongoing threesome arrangement with Chan?? In a Minsung truther scenario?? But it lowkey worked. Also, loved the real-world timeline accuracy!

Summary
It turns out, Jisung is really fucking good at kickball. He’s fast as fuck. Quickly rose up through the ranks to become first pick every game. A badge he wears with honor. Or, wore with honor.
Because he’s been dethroned. In his own domain.
Plucked from the heavens by a pair of well-muscled, thick thighs. Amongst his own peers. His closest friends. His community!
Lee Minho came and ruined it all. Because he’s an evil, evil man, with big, thick, strong thighs.
(OR: Minho dethrones Jisung as best in the gay recreational kickball league, and Jisung totally doesn't want to fuck him about it)

9/10. BAHAHAHHA this was SO FUNNY!! Peak comedy. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. There was good smut too, but beware of the daddy kink. I definitely missed that in the tags and got surprised as that’s not really my thing LOL (no shame if it’s yours tho! I forbid kinkshaming in this household). Anyway, had a fantastic time and would read again!

Summary
“Why did you pick me up, then?”
Easy lay. Another good one. Also true, probably. Hyunjin will let anyone take— because he’s trying to feel something. That’s why most people give a fuck about getting close to him, anyway.
Jeongin shrugs. He averts his eyes, almost nervous. “You needed help. You were all strung out and the paparazzi wouldn’t leave you the fuck alone. They would have watched you die.”
Blank stares. Hyunjin doesn’t know if he should tell Jeongin that he’d have liked that fine enough. As long as he didn’t have to remember how it happened. From the crinkle in Jeongin’s brow, Hyunjin thinks he already knows.

9/10. I am such a sucker for stories that feature one character taking care of another out of pure love and supporting them through shitty situations/mental health crises. So yeah, I added this fic. Sue me. It's really good, you should read. Also, the whole thing is inspired by (and named after) the song "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead, and I'm a sucker for Radiohead (thanks, Seungmin).

Summary
Jisung leans his head back, lazy. Like he can’t be bothered to pick it up. Like it’s too heavy, or he’s too sleepy. “Do you think it would fuck everything up if we slept together for real?”
“Everything,” Minho says, not quite a question, but not understanding. A general repetition for the benefit of the both of them. Because his throat hurts a little bit, and he needs a second to swallow it down.
He brings his hand back to steering. Both of them right where they’re meant to be.
“Everything, like— us,” Jisung waves his finger between them. “You’re my best friend. And I’m yours. And I’ve always wondered, you know?”
Minho is white knuckling the wheel. He can still feel Jisung beneath his fingertips, or maybe just within his bloodstream. Injected there to sit. Stay.

8/10. I just loooove a friends to lovers!! And this one was so well-written too. The lost points for me were just because I'm a little tired of the whole Minho has a guilt complex and is shit at communicating his true feelings trope. But I love the mountain vacation vibe! Very pnw coded fr. & if you haven't already read it, go read the companion Hyunin fic!! It was really really good (i rated it higher than this one, actually) and can be read as a standalone!

Summary
“Why don’t you do this?” Jeongin asks, running his thumb over Hyunjin’s knuckles. “Casual sex?”
“Because…” Hyunjin frowns, his lips poking out slightly. Tempting. “I’ve always been a relationship person.”
“And why did you decide to try?”
Maybe Jeongin wishes he were special. Or, maybe he desperately wants to be. But he knows neither of them are. Or were. They were just looking for the same thing at the same time. In one place. A romantic notion regardless.
(OR: Jeongin takes Hyunjin home for one night, and he ends up staying forever.)

Summary
“Okay, Jisung. I’ll help you out, because the sooner you realize the better,” Minho frowns, pouring water over his newly mixed teabag. Steam wafts up in a blooming cloud, interrupting his clear view of Jisung.
“Excuse me?”
“They’re trying to set us up,” Minho tips his chin in the direction of the matchmakers, all of them tittering and avoiding their eyes to huddle together when Jisung turns around. “They think they have some sort of gift. They’ve been on my ass for years. You’re new, and they lured you in, and now they’re sending you over here to get lemon balm tea because it’s supposed to make you lucky in love. It’s as good as cupid’s arrow around here.”
“Oh,” Jisung’s throat bobs when he swallows. His cheeks grow even pinker. “I’m not looking for a relationship.”
Minho snorts, rolling his eyes before he can think better of it. “That makes two of us.” He sets the freshly brewed cup on top of a saucer, slides it on the top of the bar and into Jisung’s hands.

10/10. UGHHHHHHH. UGH. What a precious story about slowly falling in love and realizing that you can be in love again. And set in a world with supernatural, borderline magical elements? I need this injected in my VEINS. Also, I’m just a sucker for the way this author ends her stories by circling back to the beginning and tying it all up into a beautiful, full-circle bow. This particular story is a perfect example of that. Highly HIGHLY recommend. Can I live in this village???

Summary
Maybe it’s silly, as unremarkable as Jeongin feels— but he thinks he’d promise next years if it meant that his stranger would look at him and smile just one more time.
He thinks if he were on a bench in a very crowded place, picking up bits of conversations, and watching people go by, he’d have a hard time not staring if his stranger were there. Of course, he’d never have the gall to say hello. He’s unremarkable, in the grand scheme of things. But he likes to admire the remarkable.
Like beautiful men, and Jesus on the cross, and the way his heart picked up for a reason other than dread for the first time in ages.
(OR: Jeongin meets Hyunjin on a Wednesday afternoon, and Jesus stays dead.)

Summary
Seungmin ignores him, smacking the folder onto the desk, flipping it open without looking, sliding it across the surface towards Minho. “It doesn’t matter. This was in the lease. You signed, right—” he taps the bottom corner, Minho’s initials perfectly legible. “Here.”
“Excuse me?” Minho leans forward.
“Paragraph nineteen subsection C,” Seungmin says, not even looking down as he recites the document word for word. “Lease is not voidable in the case of suspected paranormal activity.” He pounds his finger on the period.
Minho laughs. A short, barked thing, completely disbelieving. “You’re kidding me.”
“I’m really not,” Seungmin’s face pinches up into the sort of fake, squinted smile someone gives when they’re being an asshole. No remorse.
(OR: Minho has ghosts, Jisung hunts ghosts)

“Jeonginnie? Can you hear me?” he asks. Jeongin attempts to make himself nod. Jisung must understand, “Baby, you’re presenting. You’re going into heat. Okay? We’re going to figure it out.”
Heat? No. Jeongin can’t be— no.
He’s too old. He’s had no signs his entire life. Nothing to suggest anything other than what he is. A beta.

“Jisung suggested something to try to get people to back off,” Hyunjin steps closer, reaching out to poke Jeongin right on the sternum. Jeongin scowls, picking up his bowl and starting for his room, leaving Hyunjin trailing on his heels. “And I was thinking that you’d be the perfect candidate!”
“Because Jisung is always full of good ideas,” Jeongin snorts, dropping into his desk chair, whatever game he’s in the middle of playing idling on screen.
“This one is a good idea! I just need you to give me a few hickeys and it’ll keep the bastards away from me for at least a week!”
Jeongin chokes. Full on coughing, hunched over his bowl spluttering. When he regains the ability to talk, his voice is strained, “Excuse me?”
(OR: in an effort to get customers to stop hitting on him, hyunjin asks his best friend to mark him up)

“How do you just get roped into a bet for five hundred dollars?” Jisung snorts, sitting back down on the bed with one leg folded up beneath him. He’s still without a shirt, and Minho is having a hard time focusing while his tits are out like that. Jisung’s chest is unfairly sexy.
He forces himself to look in Jisung’s eyes, scowling when he catches the knowing smirk on his face. “I was being judged. He was testing me. That’s not the point—” he swallows the spit pooling in his mouth. “All you have to do is pretend to be my boyfriend for four months.”
“Sorry?” Jisung laughs incredulously, eyebrows shooting up.
“You heard me,” Minho grumbles. This is so fucking stupid. He realizes how stupid this is. “He bet me I couldn’t hold onto a boyfriend for four months. I told him I’m kind of seeing someone already, no big.”
(OR: Minho and his fuckbuddy pretend to date, Minho pretends he's not falling.)

Summary
Minho ignores him. Pointedly. His tongue runs over his bottom lip. He takes his glasses off, sets them on his desk. “Daddy issues? Mommy issues? A bit of both?”
Yes. That much is obvious. It seems redundant to bring it up when they both already know. “I want to be wanted.”
“And you think sex will do that for you?” Minho sighs. A long, drawn thing that blows up the hair at his brow. “Or are you chasing a false flag?”
“What do you mean?”
“Love.”
“That sounds much too serious,” Jisung swallows. His eyes feel wet at the edges, a wafer dipped in wine. “Permanent.”
“So, a bit of both, then.”

9/10. This was only on my marked for later list because it was written by mrehk. I lowkey expected this to just be the author writing some self-serving smut... And definitely expected to be a little uncomfy reading this since I've now been through college and had professors myself... but wow. The story got EMOTIONAL. I shoulda known, bro. It was actually so good. Complex characters, compelling storyline. And... yeah. I'll admit it. The smut was good too. UGH Minsung in every universe!! Bonus points because the author apparently went to law school themself so all the incorporated terms and stuff were based on experience.

Summary
Jisung didn’t prepare for this. He was meant to just— tell Minho he’s gay— not ask him to have sex with him. The glass must have been a literal breaking point for his feeble self control.
“Because I trust you,” Jisung can’t even look Minho in the eye. “Because you’re attractive, and you’re always gentle with me, and I think you’d make it good.”
Minho’s hold tightens, squeezing Jisung a bit too firmly. “I’d make it good for you, Jisung.”
(OR: Jisung learns how to access the encyclopedia of his own emotions.)

Summary
Jeongin grabs the milk from the fridge, drinking straight from the carton. He hears a door, turns just in time to see Hyunjin leading his latest conquest out, giggling when the guy smacks him on the ass as he goes. Jeongin rolls his eyes, shoving the milk back into the fridge and slamming the door to draw attention.
Hyunjin’s lip is already curling when he spins around, arms across his chest. He’s wearing tiny little pink silk pajama shorts, a loose crop top. Jeongin blinks, bored.
It genuinely infuriates Jeongin how hot Hyunjin is. Long legs, slender build. He has shoulder length blonde hair and a beauty mark right below his left eye. His lips are criminal, made to suck dick, if Jeongin had to put a description to them. The guy looks like he stepped out of a painting of the gods reveling in their fortune. Jeongin hates that about him.
(OR: fortnite, frottage, and fucking the enemy.)

Summary
Felix sniffles, slowly sinking to the ground again. He doesn’t really want to go, not when he’s still a wreck.
They sit quietly, Felix breathing in little gasps as his tears fade away, the other man staring out the window, watching the party from above. Felix has never seen him before. He wonders why. He thinks he would have remembered if he did. The man is a type of handsome out of old romance novels, classic movies.
He catches Felix staring, and his cheeks go slightly pink. He clears his throat. “Did you know that Bang Chan and Seo Changbin are fucking?”
(OR: Seungmin falls into a friendship with the object of his fruitless pining. Felix gets butterflies over the cute boy that knows all the hot gossip.)

9/10. Ugh yesss mrehk keeping me on my toesss. Love how they subtly reveal more and more relevant information (I’ll always be confused for a few minutes as I keep reading and then be like OHHHH as they feed me new details). Such a fluffy, cute falling-in-love story!! And I don’t even ship Seunglix! But here I am gushing!
