I recently read a story with too much (untagged) angst. Do you have any fluffy stories please? No angst? Preferably Yoonkook.

Thank you!!!

hi anon, i’m so sorry that i’m a million years late in answering this. i had every intention of answering this sooner but like many people the last few years have been very rough. i have a small list of fics below that i really adore. i don’t know if these meet your request for no angst but if they have any it’ll be very light hearted and mostly misunderstandings. i hope you enjoy them 💜

achievement unlocked by attilathehun - 17k, first dates, romantic comedy, miscommunication, pining

Jeon Jungkook can do a lot of things, but readying himself to date Min Yoongi is his most ambitious goal yet. To Gold Star this mission he’ll need to do three things:

- Graduate - Get a job (????) - Complete the side quest of taking Yoongi on the best first date anyone’s ever been on without revealing his massive crush

Oh yeah. Jungkook’s got this.

shake bend and break by ameliabedelias - 48k, university, slow burn, mutual pining, misunderstandings, pretty much yoonkook and a stray cat 

Min Yoongi takes in a stray cat. Jeon Jeongguk lives next door. 

love me lights out by marienadine - 10k, university, drunken shenanigans,TA yoongi,  jungkook a disaster gay in the best way

Min Yoongi is the student TA for Digital Mix Techniques 201, aka Jeongguk’s eight a.m. this semester, aka his thrice-weekly reminder that he is, in fact, gay.

That’s how it starts.

i don’t know much about love, but i bet you could teach me by calculus & lichtweh - 24k, university, dating, slice of life, slow burn, based off one of my favorite mangas: my high school debut, yoongi teaches jungkook how to date but of course there are feelings

Jungkook squeezes his eyes shut, face warm. “Your––your hair looks. Good. Yeah.”

Yoongi clears his throat. “...Number three: Jeon Jungkook must give me a compliment every day from now on,” he says after a beat. “To practice.” Jungkook flushes even harder.

“Hyung!”

“No, no it’s been spoken to the æther now. My rules are law, Jungkook,” Yoongi shrugs.

murmuration by fringecity - taegimin, 160k, murder mystery, superpowers, dark and gritty, angst, violence, urban fantasy, character death but also not. 

Park Jimin is a rookie detective at the flashiest department in Seoul Metropolitan. When he’s tasked to work with Min Yoongi - an apathetic, disgraced cop handling the ineffective cold case division - he doesn’t expect the murder case they’re working on to turn intensely personal. 

For both of them. 

Up We Go by oh_hey_tae - taegimin, 100k, modern magic, slow burn, families of choice, grief/mourning, depression. 

“If you’re a witch that works with plants, then why are all of yours dead? That can’t be good for business.”

The room dims again, and Jimin lifts a hand to flip off the ceiling. Taehyung knows he’s sad and that’s why the shop darkens and he shouldn’t find it funny––but he can’t help it. Because this is ridiculous. The good kind of ridiculous. The amazing kind.  

if you love me won’t you say something by 777335 - yoonkook, 100k, university, slow burn, friends to lovers, just some sweet boys in love. 

yoongi and jeongguk fall in love and then some.

when night comes by oh_hey_tae - ot7, 100k, magic, supernatural elements, mythical beings, slow burn, falling in love. (i’ve re-read this entire fic everytime a new chapter is added. the ending should be coming soon, it’s just a patreon exclusive for the time being) 

Jungkook’s tipsy, but he’s not buzzed enough to miss that he doesn’t recognize any of the four dozen people here. And seeing as his friends aren’t ones to ditch and there’s no way they’d play a prank this mean on him, Jungkook reaches the conclusion that he just walked into a stranger’s very expensive home, uninvited, and started eating their food and petting their well-dressed dog. 

(Or: Jungkook shows up to the wrong Halloween party and meets the most powerful family in Seoul.)

leave the ruins where they fall by sharpa - namgiseok/taekook/jinmin, 200k, dystopian, abilities, politics. (this fic is on the darker side so please if you decide to read it, take the warnings seriously. it’s really, really good especially for those who like long novels with fantasy aspects and political intrigue.) 

Remember, all the government posters say, it was the Marked that destroyed the world. 

The Old World was lost to famine and calamity and a new, harsher one has risen in its place. A city divided into sectors, ruled by a king and his chaebol court, where the Marked struggle to eke out a living in poverty and oppression, and one mistake can get you sanctioned forever - lost to hard labor in the factories and greenhouses or to life as a companion trapped in the gilded apartments of the inner sector elite. 

But a revolution is stirring in the shadows and everything is about to change. 

(Or: Hoseok runs an underground radio program; Namjoon and Seokjin dream of building a better world from their golden cage; Taehyung and Jimin desperately search for lost family; and Yoongi and Jungkook are just trying to survive.)

Internecine by jawsbar - sope, 100k+, soulmates, red string of fate, canon divergence, hate to love, slow burn, university, idols but not traditionally? 

Everyone gets a soulmate. You don’t get a choice in the matter. Fate decides who you love, whether you like it or not, and to her credit, she usually gets it right. 

This time, Fate fucks up. Like, majorly. 

(Or: Failed idol Jung Hoseok is bonded to the very person who destroyed his dream.) 

delta by sharpa - namgiseok, 60k, namjoon is the only idol, mutual pining, falling in love, namjoon falling in love with who he is as a person, mentions of depression, melancholy, repairing relationships. (this fic broke my heart in all of the best ways) 

He was the last person Namjoon expected to hear from - thought he was dreaming when he saw the email in his work inbox. It was short and simple, typical Hoseok. Just: We saw what happened. We’re so sorry. If you need get away for awhile, you’re always welcome to come stay with us - JH. He wonders now if Hoseok was surprised when he said yes. If Hoseok only extended the invitation because he didn’t think Namjoon would actually come.

Hey there! I’m really sorry this took a while to answer but I wanted to go through my ao3 bookmarks and make sure I found fics that I thought fit your ask. Hopefully I hit the mark and you like these! I’m also super happy to rec more, this was fun for me! supernova by embyr - yoonmin, 20+k, magical realism, mentions of grief and mourning. 

“Jimin bottles up joy the way people store and save honey.

 He does it so often, in fact, that when he looks up  — all he can see is darkness.”

stance of the sea by aguardiente - vmon, 14k, found family, mythology, personal growth and falling in love.

“I heard you calling me,” Taehyung says with a shrug, towel slipping down his shoulder. “I can’t explain it.” He's completely soaked but seems entirely at peace with it, not even shivering as water trails down his skin.

Namjoon tracks the path of a droplet down the shell of his ear. "What did I sound like?" He asks, half afraid of the answer. He's always been too curious for his own good.

"You sounded hurt. Like you ached inside."

"Oh," Namjoon replies, not really surprised at all. "Alright."

(Or: Taehyung is a selkie sent by the sea in answer to hushed wishes, and Namjoon is a human with a lot to learn.)

courage of stars by kookingwithjoon - namkook, 44k, fake/pretend relationship, breaking up and getting back together. 

Lastly, Jungkook wants to turn and watch his younger self smile and remain painfully aloof.

Oh, you fool, he longs to warn an infinitely happier Jeon Jungkook. He’s going to break your heart.

Namjoon breaks up with Jungkook just in time for Seokjin and Yoongi’s bachelor party extravaganza. Jungkook things it might be easier if they didn’t have to pretend they’re still together. 

let the light in by sharpa - yoonkook, 60k, magic, slow burn, found family, mentions of past emotional abuse. 

There is magic in the world, but for years Jungkook has shied away from his gift. (It’s intrusive, unwelcome, dangerous.) Now he’s in New York City, battling loneliness and a college course that he hates. Until on one particularly bad day, he turns down a side street in East Village and his life changes forever.
