To celebrate the Class of 2021 (who have still had many senior year traditions ripped from them due to the pandemic), we are pleased to present Round 2 of our EXO fic fest, The Gradua’Xion!

What counts as a “graduation” theme? 🎓 Anything that focuses primarily on the ending of high school or college 🎓 Prom, final school performances (plays, recitals, etc.), and other end-of-year rites of passage are also welcome! 🎓 Fic time frame can certainly start earlier in the year/years prior, or can include the months or years after graduation, but the final months of high school/college should be a key component of the fic. 🎓 Can include the pandemic (set in this year) or can be set in aus/prior or future eras.

The Prompt Archive is now available for viewing! Self-prompts are also welcome. Writer sign-ups begin tomorrow.

Timeline: March 29 - Prompt Claiming/Self-prompting begins April 30 - Claiming ends May 28 - Submissions due June 1 - Posting begins

Rules: 1. Main character(s) must be an EXO member (all OT12 pairings or member-centric fics welcome). 2. No self-inserts/OC pairings, please. This is an EXO-centric fic collection. 3. Minimum word count is 1,000 words. 4. Zero tolerance for plagiarism. 5. Non-con, pedophilia, incest, bestiality, etc. not permitted. 6. You may only claim one prompt from the archive at a time. Please complete the prompt before requesting a second. 7. There are no official check-ins since we have a relatively short turnaround time to make it for early summer graduations.

Admin W Notes: Can we all please harass at1stsoo (and by harass I mean SEND ALL YOUR LOVE) & tell her that she ain’t fooling nobody with this lamb business CUZ THE SNIPPETS OF SMUT & THE BIG FINALE SMUT IS HOOOOOOOOO BOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! *wipes sweat* Smut aside, this mini-angst-with-a-full-plate-of-pining is wonderfully written as expected from this queen uwu

Hey hun! I remember reading these, dunno if there’s more, if someone knows about any other fics, we’ll rec them for sure :)

Campaigning for Your Heart + Sail Away With Me - at1stsoo’s phenomenal politics au! they’re enemies to lovers, each voting a different candidate and they bicker throughout the campaign, while in the sequel they go on a yacht sailing trip after the election (smuttttt and humour) ;)))

Young Communists - mainly crack, political topics and sassy banter between even when they’re doing the do :p

A Vote for Jongin is a Vote for Justice - wolf au with politics, not your stereotypical omega and alpha roles you thought you’ve known before 

spreading inside of me - slight? they’re university professors and dang the topics kyungsoo knows and reads about is so funnyjdfjd and jongin is smitten

Thank you lots, we never take your support for granted ♥ Not many were written this year (lawyer au is usually a more unique au) but we got some! ^^

Legally Kaisoo -  a sequel after Lawyer Up (My Ass) (which i recommend checking out!!), where kyungsoo struggles to navigate his intern duties alongside his new boyfriend duties with mr. kim (age swap, topkai series :)

Rekindle - this is more domestic! married but busy kd, jongin is a lawyer and kyungsoo is painter so jongin takes kyungsoo on vacation. it’s very romantic and fluffy, also a lot of comfort!!!

Ascending Rain - it’s lawyer kyungsoo and kai, heir to the mafia clan and their paths cross (no explicit smut, but tw for violence and other themes), chaptered and boi it’s inch resting :o

i was made for loving you - no smut. medical student kyungsoo and lawyer jongin…let’s say jongin is very whipped!

We absolutely recommend checking out the previously recced lawyer fics (click on the # under this post :)
