highlight fic recs

i feel like i defiled the fandom with this, i’m so sorry. also, junkwang was so popular for this sorry i couldn’t find other ships 

This is literally, practically just FLUFF. It’s so adorable and so well-written. The slow progression of Junhyung and Taejoo’s relationship is so heart-warming. I appreciate it so much even though it was written way back when in 2014 and Taejoo has kids now, LOL. Honestly, give it a read, the author is such agreat writer and the plot is just so simple yet beautiful. Don’t forget to vote and comment!

There is something so fucking classic about this fic, I can literally imagine it in a black and white filter with piano playing in the background. It’s so well written, definitely check it out. It’s basically smut, but with plot. Doojoon is a literature professor and Dongwoon one of his students, Doojoon saw Dongwoon talking to one of his exes and it made him jealous. Doojoon is a bit possessive throughout the story so beware of that, but you can honestly just feel the amount of overwhelming love he has for Dongwoon. It’s truly a great fic, please check it out!

If you’re looking for a little bit of fantasy mixed with hybrid-themed vibes, this is the one for you! Not a lot of romance honestly, but so much fluff! I found it really adorable and fun to read. Features golden retriever!Gikwang and bunny!Yoseob which I adore LMAO. Don’t forget to vote and comment! 

thank you!! 💖

I really liked the concept of this fic. At first, Junhyung was shy and it gets worse when photographer Gikwang admits that he’s read all of his books. It gets even more awkward when Gikwang starts prying about whether the events in the books are based on experience. One things leads to another and let’s just say, by the end of the story, Junhyung isn’t a virgin anymore. Delicious top!Gikwnag and bottom!Junhyung. Don’t forget to vote and comment!

Another one of those rare long, slow-burns that I love. Yoseob just moved to town and his cousin set him up on a double date with a guy who just so happens to be the jerk he’d run into before. A bunch of things happen and this fic turns into a fake dating!AU and it’s amazingly well-written. Side Doowoon and Kiseung are super cute. It’s delicious, there’s pining and fiery Yoseob as well as smart-ass Junhyung who is secretly such a softie, your heart’s going to melt. Don’t forget to like and comment!

Holy hot damn, I can’t believe this fic has been out there and I only just stumbled upon it. It’s literally everything I could ever want in a fic: fluff, smut and sweetness everywhere. The writing is good, the lay out is well done and the characterization is so cute. If you don’t mind reading through the most heart-warming smut you’ll ever read, definitely go check it out. Don’t forget to leave kudos and comment! 

This is a very cute AU! Junhyung is a famous, pining mess who likes to listen in on the choir and Yoseob is a fine piece of ass. I love the characterization in this, it fits so well with the overall theme of the story and makes it so easy have fun while reading. It involves valentines day and homemade cookies, I absolutely adore this fic! The writing is so good, go check it out! Don’t forget to leave kudos and comment!

I love the idea of the boys having sock puppet accounts on social media! The way this whole fic was orchestrated was so nice and fun to read, I really recommend it. It’s in the Bad Girl era and Doojoon is upset that Yoseob isn’t using as much skinship anymore. After finding out that management is the reason behind Yosoeb’s lack of “molestation”, he logs onto his sock puppet account and may or may not accidentally start a petition. It’s really cute!

I could not put this fic down. I read it all through the night as soon as I found it and dedicated myself to it the next morning. It’s a multi-chapter slow-burn that made me cry and laugh and practically have a mental breakdown. Basically, Doojoon starts attending a new school and he becomes friends with Junhyung, Gikwang and Hyunseung who bully the ‘resident gay boy’ Yoseob. Doojoon and Yoseob become friends and Doojoon falls in love, literally in the most pure and painful way ever. There’s a lot of confusion with falling in love and boyfriends, adding in the struggle of discovering your own sexuality and dealing with all the problems that come with that. If you want a long, emotional fic this is the one. The writing is spot on, the chapters bring in tension at every turn and the ending will catch you wiping away tears. This is one of my favorite Highlight fics, hands down! But, don’t forget to leave kudos and comment!

Where to start! This is fic has really beautiful writing which makes the plot a hundred times more heart wrenching. Doojoon falls in love with his new work colleague, Junhyung. Junhyung has a few problems mentally which will all be revealed and eventually things heat up and they break the sexual tension by hooking up. It’s a struggle after all of that but you can only find out by reading! Definitely go check it out if you don’t mind some mild smut along the way. Don’t forget to leave kudos and comment, if you do!

This fic takes an interesting divergence from real life. Instead of Highlight debuting as a group, they all form they’re own careers separately but remain friends, excluding Junhyung and Yoseob who are sworn enemies! It’s a really cute and witty fic with a beautiful flow of enemies into acquaintances into friends into more. The interactions between the Highlight members are adorable and there are so many references scattered throughout the story. The writing is very well done, the story isn’t fast-paced and the characterization is stunning! It’s definitely a must-read! Unarguably one of my favorite Highlight fics! Leave a kudos and comment, please!

Okay, so this may not be every Lights cup of tea because it’s a ship between Junhyung and a KNK member but it is so cute. Even if you aren’t a KNK fan, you can still giggle at Seungjun’s antics. Basically, Seungjun is a giant fanboy of Junhyung and waits for ages to “casually” run into him and get a signature (and hopefully a number). Honestly, it’s so funny and light-hearted, a must-read for any KNK and Highlight stans. Remember to kudos and comment! I need a second chapter! Or a sequel! Please~

AHHH, such a sad story. It’s basically Doojoon being depressed and everything seems to be going wrong. He meets a girl and they quickly become best friends. It’s so cute and guaranteed to make your heart do weird things in your chest. It’s a good read if you want something short, soft and equally as sad. Don’t forget to kudos and comment!
