i think spicynom does a really good job of this in their fic ‘a quiet truth’. it’s a bit shorter than what i’d usually recommend but it kinda stuck with me because it felt really genuine and warm even though it was a little sad.

it might resonate more with people who have experienced coming out (or being come out to), but i feel like you can still appreciate and empathise with the emotions the characters are feeling, the author does really well at capturing the moment and all of its imperfections and heart.

my first bts fic was ‘a gilded world’ by smiles but i’ve been reading fics from other fandoms for YEARS

i pretty much read any pairing - concept is more important for me - but i have phases where i read a lot of a certain pairing for a little while

ships i tend to read less of are taekook, yoonmin and jikook (but i still read them sometimes!!)

i want this blog to focus on more soft fics but that’s definitely not all that i read haha

recent tags i’ve been searching:

relationship: NAMKOOK, yoonjin, namseok, vmin, namgi, ot7

additional tags: hurt/comfort, touch starved, canon compliant, magical realism, mutual pining, coming out

some authors i’m subscribed to that i adore:

777335, GinForInk, Miralana, fringecity (indiachick), infraredphaeton, kaythebest, firebranded, minverse, monbon, nitilia, nonheather, Oh_Hey_Tae, freelancejouster, themarmalade, ratherunecessary, sharpa, polyjoon, tendershipping, pardon, AttilaTheHun, blimpish, vxmins, fruitily, loindexter

so in love with namkook in this!! it’s got some really funny moments but it’s also super sweet and emotional. very slow burn but very worth it..

short summary they meet while role-playing online and feelings and mishaps happen i’m not gonna say any more but i have so many feelings about it pls read

it’s always the fics with the unique summaries and concepts that really stick with me, and this is one of them.

jk is a missionary for what is essentially a cult, and he meets seokjin. he is determined to ‘save’ him from the oncoming end of the world but things don’t really go to plan. i am in love with the way this author writes seokjin especially, but all the characters feel very genuine and multi-dimensional.

maybe avoid this one if discussion of faith upsets you! it personally doesn’t bother me but i’m not religious and i can kind of relate to the characters and their journeys.

love the development, honestly i just want what they have. they just .. get each other?? and that’s so beautiful

v soft and real. lots of music love.

i love the format of the flashbacks and emails alongside the story, it really helps you to understand the complexity of their feelings

i’m so proud of them 🥰🏳️‍🌈

(also i feel like i will be reccing this author a lot bc their works are stunning!!)
