Jikook Fic Recs

Rafa @userjiminie asked for Jikook fics and I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t end up making a whole rec list, so here we are!

CANON

the little mermaid by cartographic (T, 5k) “Does Jungkook think we’re dating?” Jimin grabbed at his collar. “Are we dating? Why didn’t anybody tell me? Shouldn’t there have been a card, or a cake?” “Do you want a cake?” “Well,” Jimin said.

Riptide by peppermint_wind (M, 62k) Jeon Jungkook is still just a kid when he sets out for Seoul. He knows about the tall buildings, the maze-like roadways, and dorm life he’s signed up for. He expects the difficulties of being a trainee, finds it in the holes of his worn out dance shoes and countless sleepless nights. But what he doesn’t expect, could never expect, is meeting Park Jimin. It’s then Jungkook realizes that there’s more to learn in Seoul than dance choreographies: about growing up, falling in love, and about himself.

washing machine heart by pulses (G, 3k) “The most memorable moment in Japan?” Jungkook repeats. “Definitely sleeping in with Jimin-hyung.” Or: Jungkook has a lot of himself to give, but only so much others will take. Even then, sometimes those pieces will be the few he had wanted to keep. Or: A story about making your own choices.

it always feels like the first time by cephalopop (E, 6k) “Maybe if we set some ground rules first,” Jimin says quietly. “Like no marks when we’re filming. Or a limit on how long we’re going to do this.” Boundaries, Jimin reminds himself. You read about that somewhere. “No marks,” Jeongguk agrees, eyes still trained on Jimin’s mouth. Jimin suppresses a shiver. His mouth feels swollen already, even though they’ve barely kissed. “Let me get cleaned up, Jeongguk-ah. Wait for me in the bedroom.”

it’s no secret +  let’s get physical +  i bloom just for you by cephalopop and unconscious (E, 25k… but there’s a 50k sequel that’s just Taemin/Kai that everyone should read too and I say this as someone who barely knows who they are) “I don’t want to cause you any trouble,” Taemin lies. Causing trouble is exactly what he wants to do. If Jeongguk’s touching Jimin like that, and staring at Taemin like this, and those two aren’t fucking, there’s a serious problem in the Bangtan group dynamics.

ways of seeing by unconscious (M, 4k) Cameras have been a constant fixture in their lives; even in their absence Jungkook feels their phantom weight in the way he walks and adjusts his posture and smooths nonexistent wrinkles in his shirt. His image on film is always a shadow on the edge of his vision, a warning, a shackling of his spontaneity. Everything must be considered. When he takes the camera in his own hands, though, things… Things settle, in a way. He feels in control. If he’s behind the lens, it’s not trained on him. With the camera in hand he can look as much as he wants. Or: GCF in Tokyo.

I’ll Be Your Island by sleep_song (E, 4k) Hawaii ended up bringing out the desperation in both of them.

i don’t usually give in to peer pressure (but i’ll give into yours) by islandbreeze (E, 6k) They agreed, last time, like all the other times, it shouldn’t happen again. But it’s been almost a month since the last time, and Jungkook is lonely, and sexually frustrated, and disturbingly, misses Jimin. He’s tried to rationalize it, dismiss it, convince himself that it’s just like scratching a physical itch for both of them, nothing more. Deep down, though, he knows that’s not true.

These Moments and Vibrant Hues by miss_begonia (M, 3k) Idol life is not conducive to being boyfriends, but Jungkook is really fucking stubborn.

AUs

in the darkness, your light by Mother of Pearl (M, 25k) Jungkook dreamed of a gallery show, his name on a placard, limited run signed prints of his photographs. What he found instead when he arrived in Seoul was an uninspiring job driving a taxi and a sea of faces half-hidden behind masks. Now, with tightening restrictions to curb the pandemic and the new year looming, it’s time to decide: stay in Seoul or return home? Into this moment enters an early-morning fare, an exhausted nurse who might just be the inspiration he’s been searching for. Or: One lonely winter morning while Seoul sleeps, Jungkook has a chance meeting with a quiet stranger whose smile lights up his whole world.

stay (i really want you to) by jeyhawk (E, 18k) “Come home with me,” Jimin says. “What?” Jeongguk looks at Jimin as if he lost his mind, eyes red and wet with tears.“Come home with me,” Jimin repeats. “You’re not gonna find a better option at this time of night and the bus’ll be here in five minutes.”

the apparition of these faces in the crowd by cartographic (E, 29k) Jimin wasn’t the type to spam spit in my mouth king, but he also couldn’t say he didn’t not want to say that. Or: Jimin struggles with three issues: his rampant addiction to camboy Bad Buff Bunny, the advancing (maybe) attention of the ridiculously attractive stud that was Jungkook, and himself.

kissed the canvas by pieces (E, 53k) Jeon Jeongguk might be one of the best boxers in the world, but he’s not superhuman. Meaning, he, like everyone else, is just a little bit weak for Park Jimin – Korea’s darling idol. When he finds himself at Gold Star Entertainment for his photoshoot as a sponsor of Jimin’s SPREAD YOUR WINGS athleisure clothing line campaign, he doesn’t expect Jimin himself to be the one showing him the ropes.

the sun hasn’t died by idazzle (T, 16k) Jimin and Jungkook have been together for five years. They are hunters in a post-apocalyptic world crawling with monsters. Everything changes when in the middle of preparing for their anniversary Jimin finds out a life-ruining secret that Jungkook has been hiding…

the heart of a siren by namakemono (E, 92k) Beware of what you take from the sea. She is not a treasure to be plundered, but a dark, vast void that will swallow you up and think nothing of it.

Falling for you again by Rose_gold715 (T, 31k) Jungkook loses all memory of the last five years of his life. Jimin is scared he will never love him again.

Black Swan by serendiplini (E, 24k) After spending hours painstakingly following a tutorial from his favorite beauty youtuber Jeongguk, Jimin just so happens to run into him at a club. [or: hot twink does my makeup - not clickbait]
