TXT Recstop tier and sequel 10 ways to bag your man (Soobin/Yeonjun, Beomgyu/Taehyun, AU) - This author is hilarious and you should read all their fics, but these two especially. In the first the guys find Yeonjun's hookup list and Soobin is distraught to learn that the one time he and Yeonjun kissed didn't even merit a mention. Clear he is forgettable. (spoiler alert: he is wrong on both accounts). In the second, the two of them make a 'top then Beomgyu simping fails' list and make him suffer through it.
A Thousand Times I'd Tell You (Soobin/Yeonjun, canon compliant) - As the summary says, this is the five times Yeonjun confesses, and the one time Soobin actually takes him seriously. Fluffy pining, my jam.
"Love in Time of Godzilla" - a playlist by Choi Yeonjun (Soobin/Yeonjun, AU) - Absolutely wild 24k AU where Godzilla and other weird radiation born critters are roaming the earth and Yeonjun, Soobin and a whole bunch of other familiar names are just trying to keep their theatre company going. This was just hugely entertaining, with a great ensemble cast, and that beautiful 'people living their best lives in worst circumstances' feel. Also, Yeonjun has no chill.
the difference between wish and want (Beomgyu/Taehyun, Soobin/Yeonjun, AU) - in which Taehyun is a cat hybrid on the run and Beomgyu has a very soft heart. It's an adorable hybrid!AU but T rated if the explicit stuff is not your bag and you would like just to imagine cute kitty Taehyun. Super sweet.
SVT RecsKeyframe (Soonyoung/Jihoon + side pairings, AU) - University AU with a really interesting framing/structure around months and concepts. Jihoon does not want to know or care about Soonyoung. Soonyoung has other ideas. This is a lovely, but also a painful, slide into feelings and working through issues with additional vocabulary lessons. Nothing is easy but it is earned.
adore u series (Wonwoo/Mingyu, Junhui/Minghao, Soonyoung/Jihoon, AU) - This is a university AU series of three fics, one for each couple, and it is full of the friends to lovers slow burn. The stories and relationships connect and develop in parallel and the overall friendship vibe is great, as is the writing.
all eyes on you (Soonyoung/Jihoon, AU) - I realise there's a theme but I like what I like. This is another university AU but this time Soonyoung is the new wunderkind in the dance department and Jihoon is tired of never feeling like he's enough and starting think maybe dance isn't the path for him after all. The fic is 104k, spans four years and offers alternating povs and so much self-growth that I came out of it feeling like I too was somehow a better person at the end of it too. Another one of those 'things and feelings and people are complicated and you have to work at relationships' fics which are incredibly satisfying. Also, they dance together. A lot. It's... It's definitely worth the entrance fee alone.
100 Days of 143s (Soonyoung/Jihoon, canon compliant) - In which Jihoon is dared to say 'I love you' to Soonyoung every day for 100 days. Which is excruciating because Jihoon is disgustingly in love and Soonyoung isn't. Or... Listen, we absolutely know where this is going but the ride there is first rate: 89k, rating never goes above G, the relationship and personal development is amazing, the misunderstanding are classic ('oh no my crush has a crush, who could it be') but well executed, we have multiple povs and did... Did I mention it's canon compliant? Because I loved that, for me.
