Sorry this is a little late...please blame my dog....me and the vet had a wonderful time chasing him around...apparently he has anxiety! Anyway, this is not about me but about Mister Worldwide Handsome!!!! This man is incredible he is the ultimate Hyung of BTS. He truly carries them on his shoulders and is there for everybody. His voice is beautiful and so clear and it just lifts my soul!
Thank You for Coming to My Ted Talk by potaetaegirl [G, 2.4k]
âHoly fuck,â Jin said, mostly to himself, looking at Namjoonâs slightly flushed skin and his glasses and his dimples, and what the heck, how did he not see this before? âI see it now.â
âHehe,â Hoseok said, âYouâre a sapiosexual then, huh?â
âSapiosexual. Means you think intelligence is hot.â
âOh God,â Jin said, âNow I know why I thought Benedict Cumberbatch was so hot in Sherlock.â

Kim Seokjin's professor, the accomplished Kim Namjoon, is giving his first Ted Talk. And is it just Jin, or has his professor gotten super hot or something?
A Sociolinguistic Analysis of Epenthesis in Academic Convergence by bazooka for cumulus [M, 39k]
Epenthesis
A phonological phenomenon in which two disparate sounds meet, creating a third sound between them which wasn't there before.
There were a lot of jobs worse than being partnered with world-renowned Absent-Minded Professor Kim Namjoon, but Professor Kim Seokjin couldn't think of what any of them were at the moment.

The Shaman and the Exorcist by metastacia [M, 145k]
Seokjin doesn't believe in ghosts. Which would cause a huge uproar if everyone knew since he's kind of a big deal at his university; he's a shaman who protects people from evil spirits. He doesn't remember where he got the idea to do this from, all he knows is that superstitious people pay good money.
Namjoon does believe in ghosts. Better yet, he can see them and he can expel them. But there's a certain phoney shaman at his university who's stealing all his clients in his exorcism business, and he's not happy about it because haunted people pay good money.
So, what do they do? Figure out whose closet is holding all the skeletons, of course.

Seokjin has pillow creases in his cheek and his eyes are puffy, still closed as he slowly rolls onto his side.
Yoongi lies next to him on his back, turns his head towards Seokjinâs sleeping face, whispers, Kim Seokjin, I think I could fall in love with you.

"Can you or can you not give me the fattiest, greasiest bits of grilled meat at any given time of day?" Seokjin demands.
"Well, yeah, I can, butâ"
"And can you or can you not show up at a restaurant, sit your ass down, and at least make polite, decent conversation with me whenever I want?"
"'Decent' is relativeâ"
"Well, we can't have everything, I guess," says Seokjin, pragmatically. "I can deal with your uncultured ass. Sign me up for hell, then."
(Yoongi's seen a lot of humans sell their souls to the devil just to get something out of it. Meeting Kim Seokjin, though, makes it seem way too easy.)
One Less Stranger by chlexcer [T, 20k]
Yoongi was simply looking for a job and a place to stay when he met Seokjin.
A Gilded World by smiles [E, 175k]
Jeon Seokjin has exactly four weeks to stop the impending engagement of his younger brother, doomed to a loveless marriage. The only way to stop it is to make a better match, more advantageous, more lucrative for the Jeon family. It's impossible. It's his only option.
Min Yoongi does not want, will never want, will never ever even consider, marriage. It's not in the cards. He's stubborn enough to achieve the total ban on marriage talks. Except maybe his grandmother is a little more stubborn than he is, and maybe she's determined to see him march down the aisle.
The chaebol arranged marriage au that exactly one and a half people asked for.

two bros, chillin' in the gay club by chlexcer [E, 78k]
itâs a game. a stupid, ridiculous game that got a little bit out of hand, and now Hoseok is getting turned on.
alternatively, the one where Seokjin and Hoseok, token straight friends, get pulled along to a gay club and to avoid getting hit on by other guys, they pretend to be dating each other. (no homo, though)
Welcome to the Garden by smiles [G, 1.8k]
The thing people don't realize is, within all their lore of mermaids and vampires and tigers praying to be human, they missed the most obvious magical creatures that dwell among them in plain sight. Hoseok supposes that's a good thing. If the general populace found out that there are a bunch of flowers walking around in human form, there would be pandemonium.
aka Hoseok is a flower, meets Seokjin, is convinced he is also a flower, and sets out to prove it.

Seokjin didn't ask for any of this. Not for his estranged son Taehyung to suddenly move in and turn Seokjin's orderly life upside down. Certainly not for said son to come with a mentor and dance instructor in the form of the impossibly sunny, annoyingly attractive Jeong Hoseok. Fortunately, the universe doesn't seem to be paying much attention to what Seokjin does and does not ask for.
Sometimes a Dart Isn't Just a Dart by Awalk66Â [T, 4k]

The Golden Rule of Love Curses by smiles for rendawnie [G, 16k]
A comprehensive list of things Seokjin expected when he took a job at the library:
a decent paycheck to mitigate his growing student loan debt
time to catch up on his reading
and by "reading" he means his DS. He's going to play video games.
admittedly this is bordering on ironic seeing as he's a librarian but a chef's life isn't all about food, so he figures a librarian can enjoy other pursuits.
his would be, though. If he was a chef, it would be all food, all the time.
An incomprehensive list of things Seokjin did not expect when he took a job at the library:
did he mention the talking seagull, because he feels like no one is properly panicking about a talking seagull?
oh, and also a wizard places him under a curse.
sorry, correction, a wizard places him under a spell. There is obviously a very significant difference, apologies Jimin. A spell is so much better than a curse.
something was bound to go right sometime today by roommate for dollyeo [M, 91k]
Seokjinâs been hearing a lot of rumours about the new cafe two blocks away: the menu has much more âexperimental coffeeâ than most cafes Yoongi has ever been to (and that says a lot, because Seokjin believes Yoongi has been to every single coffee shop there is in South Korea). The interiors are a lot cozier and warmer than what they have in their place, news that would probably make Hoseok throw a fit. There arenât too many cats that the patrons can feed and play with, though, but that doesnât change the fact that Seokjin has been losing his frequent customers, money, and patience to the new cafe in the area. And at an alarmingly fast rate.
So Seokjin decides to take off the apron one day, see what â rather, who â his once-loyal customers have been raving about, and develop a grand scheme to take down this asshole of a coffee shop owner, one cup of coffee at a time.

Fate, Lust, and The Game Of Love by lulublue1234 for wingedseok [M, 30k]
The God of Fate and the God Of Lust play a game of chess to decide who is the ultimate God of love. However, in this game, the pieces are alive and have free-will. Jin is a sassy nine-year-old that wants nothing to do with fate, and Jungkook's an adorable seven-year-old who just wants one true friend. On the boys first meeting Jin throws a stone that cuts Jungkook's face, leaving a scar on the little boy's left cheek. The boys grow up and lose touch only to reunite in an unusual way.
This game's not gonna go as planned.
The time Jin threw a rock and changed the fate of love.

Jungkook expected the bakery worker to recoil when he saw his tattoos. He was prepared for a frown or judgmental glare.
Instead the man's polite smile drifted into more of a smirk and Jungkook really had no idea what to do with that.
Fake Sugar by minverse [E, 87k]
"I guess," Jungkook pauses momentarily to inhale a deep, bracing breath, "I would just want you to come to my work events and laugh at my jokes and don't correct people if they imply that we're doing it."
"Having sex, you mean," Jin clarifies gently, and Jungkook chokes on air. If his face was any redder, Jin would insist on taking him to the hospital. Jungkook clears his throat, obviously trying to play off the strangled, choked sound as a casual cough.
(Hedge Fund wunderkind and Certified Awkward Gay Jungkook needs a sugar baby to show off at work, and Professional Competitive Eater and Objectively Beautiful Human Jin just wants to stop working shitty side-jobs. Fake Sugar Daddy AU. A trope and a half.)
Now now now, I donât want to hear but what about Taejin Amber! You forgot the Taejin! I did no such thing! I just didnât want to spoil Fridayâs post for Taejin month thank you very much!
So thatâs that! Thank you so much Jin for always being so and completely you. I love you and thank you for showing me how to be happy with myself and see the beauty within. You are incredible and I thank you for sharing your music with the world!
