#plot-centric

Anything that has some action or plot but is also funny/lighthearted tonally? Preferably long, any ship. Thanks!!!

OK so I am aware that these two asks aren’t exactly similar, but they’re both about plot-driven fics, so that’s what i’m (hopefully) going for:

Plot-centric

Vitrail by Melarose (Taekook, Fantasy AU, Witch AU, 9 Chapters, 164K, M, JK is a newly graduated witch whose new mage mentor is someone who doesn’t want an apprentice, lowkey enemies to lovers, angst with a happy ending)

letters to the moon by starbloom (Taekook, Historical AU, One-shot, 44K, E, JK is just a peasant who calligrapher Tae takes a fancy to, class differences)

symbiosis by taecheeks (Taekook, Arranged Marriage AU, Lawyer AU, 18 Chapters, 227K, E, Tae and JK are two rich kids who are made to marry each other because their fathers want them to, frenemies to lovers?)

Pas de deux by sequoiasem (Jihope, Ballet AU, Established Relationship, One-shot, 9.9K, G, Hobi’s sad because he was supposed to be a dancer but was suffering in his bf’s dance class for kids)

Review/Recommendation: This fic is an immensely clever and satisfying rewrite of Unicron. It diverges from canon at the beginning of the TAAO annual, fleshing out plotlines and bits of worldbuilding with a depth that the comics never managed to achieve. The style is vivid and engaging, blending humor with emotion, and the plot is detailed and gripping. There are many great things about this fic (& the series that follows from it) but one that stands out is the compassion and understanding with which every character is approached. This series feels inhabited by fully actualized people, with faults and goals, who are each and every one the hero of their own story. Finding out what characters, plot details, and satisfying resolutions are going to show up was an absolute delight on my first readthrough.
