if a link doesn’t work, please send me a message!

- Where You Invest Your Love by Minyoongiistummy; 15k status: complete Trembling hands, lowered gaze, hiccupped answers; that was all he could offer. Jungkook had been sure then too that he was bound to ruin everything. That they were going to find out. That he needed to leave. (or: Jungkook coming out to the boys)

- save me; i need your love before i fall, fall (part of BTS requests series) by yoonkookies; 2k status: complete something set during early days where the members aren’t treating jungkook nicely due to a misunderstanding but then soon realize how small, vulnerable and innocent he actuallly is after he hurts himself and cries

- Make It Right (part of Jungkook Hurt/Comfort Collection series) by Jiayuki; 9k status: complete “Maybe I should leave.” The words rush out of him, and room seems to collectively suck in a sharp breath. “Jungkook-ah, no,” Seokjin says, panicked. “I-if I’m such a b-burden, maybe you’d all be better off without me. ‘Golden maknae, my ass,’ right?” He smiles humorlessly at Taehyung, and the older boy stands frozen, remembering his own words, now thrown back at him. “If I leave first, maybe it won’t hurt as much when you all decide to disband,” Jungkook whispers. “Wait, Jungkook—" He runs. (I recommend reading the rest of the series too, tho not all of them are platonic!)

- The Night Walker (part of Sleepy Kookie series) by bambirosesavage; 9k status: complete Jungkook doesn't sleepwalk often, but when he does, it's memorable for each member.

- Love Me or Love Me Not (i don’t really have a choice in the matter) by Jangmi; 88k status: complete Jungkook was still asleep for the most part and Jimin not being in his bed was a much bigger deal in dreamland than it would have been were he awake. He began to whimper a little, his hands roaming the empty bed, trying to find his friend. “Jiminie? Where are you? Jimin-hyung, please don’t leave me.” “Go away,” Hoseok was now mostly awake, “go sleep with Tae or Joon.” Either the younger didn’t hear his words or didn’t care because soon was climbing in beside the rapper. “Hobi-hyung,” he sighed happily, snuggling into the older’s side.

- Crybaby by Active_mind_15; 80k status: incomplete (but it’s a collection of oneshots so you can read it) "Back when Jungkook was younger, if you said 'Jungkook, are you crying?', he would cry." OR A series of one-shots where this actually happens and the members learn how to handle Jungkook's sensitive side.

- Individual (part of They’re human too series) by CitizenoftheWorld; 3k status: complete If he had been less guarded and more like the other guys, he would have been drunk and unable to feel the cold night air cut through his thin clothes. “Jungkook,” Jimin’s voice sounded softer over the phone, coaxing, “is something wrong?” “No,” his voice cracked. His lips started to tremble. It was cold, that’s the excuse. “You don’t need to lie to us,” Jimin pressed. “What happened?”[Jungkook feels like he should have his own friends, but he only has Bangtan]

- One Sick Kookie by bambirosesavage; 29k status: complete Jungkook is bad at asking for help, but when a cold turns into something more serious, he doesn't have much of a choice.

- happy birthday jungkook by ripexom; 11k status: complete The hyungs pull a mean prank on Jungkook's birthday. non-au based off of the iconic birthday prank

- don’t leave me (part of BTS requests) by yoonkookies; 6k status: complete jungkook takes the blame for something that wasn't his fault (for whatever reason) and the others treat him badly (ignoring him, saying harsh things, whatever go wild) until it is somehow revealed it wasn't him and cue fluff as they make it up to him

- call me right, call me wrong by mintcooky; 11k status: complete Jungkook selflessly helps someone but ends up distant from his hyungs or (hyungs get mad at Jungkook but then feel guilty when they find out the reason why)

- Hyungdeul by yaruna; 31k status: complete The hyungs are starting to notice some changes to their maknae's behavior. Changes they aren't too thrilled about.

- Hero Worship (Is More Than A Phase) by predilection; 4k status: complete "I'm sorr--" Taehyung starts to stutter, head lowered and feeling thoroughly chastised, but he's quickly cut off. "You're what?" the choreographer says, hand cupped to his ear mockingly. But before Taehyung can try to apologize again, Yoongi, of all people, calls out, "That's enough!" Or: Five times Yoongi was Taehyung's hero and one time Taehyung was Yoongi's.

- No excuses, only explanations (part of They’re human too series) by CitizenoftheWorld; 5k status: complete Taehyung felt his cheeks burn. He struggled to keep his voice steady as he followed with a question. “Then how would you elucidate my feelings?” There was this guilt that came every time Taehyung dared to voice how he felt. As if having feelings that conflicted with everything happening around him – mainly their success in the industry – would make him seem ungrateful; the mindless idol with a boxy smile that had somehow found a way to complain about his members. [Taehyung feels misunderstood and lost in the life that he lives as a member of Bangtan. But they all aim at closing the chasm keeping them from unity.]

- My pace by Taeipathy; 119k status: incomplete “Congratulations. You were accepted as a trainee.” With these simple words, a chaos was released in Taehyung's mind- His dream would become reality. He would train to become a singer and debut. His parents would be proud of him. Finally, he could give them something back. He would be able to make it. But just a quickly as that happiness had come, it was gone when he realized what he had to do. Which could get him thrown out before he even began. So, he took a deep breath. “Thank you. I am really honored. But there is something I have to admit.” He took a short pause, trying to keep himself together. Before finally muttering the words, he had kept in the whole day. “I am blind.” or: Kim Taehyung wants to become the first blind idol to ever debut.

- A long overdue happiness by yudora; 7k status: complete Taehyung remembered that one moment he had when he was eight. It was not a pleasant one. He remembered it in the middle of his fight with Jin backstage, and that memory did him more bad than good. (haven’t read, not my cup of tea but the writing’s good)

- Friends (part of BTS requests series) by yoonkookies; 2k status: complete Hi! I was wondering if you could write maybe a behind the scenes on the writing process Vmin could have had while writing / producing 'Friends'? Like them thinking of lyrics and maybe hanging out alone and getting emotional over their memories n stuff? And it all comes down to like 'yes, you are unconditionally my soulmate.' I know this might be a bit touchy to write so if it's not something you're comfy w then pls let me know and I can think of something else! Thank you for opening requests!!

- Cheer up, Baby by foreheadhobi (arecipeforfeels); 7k status: complete “Kim Taehyung is so weird” “Did you see him at the fan sign today?” “Does he really think he’s funny and cute when he does that?” “Honestly sometimes I don’t know why BigHit keeps him, BTS would be better without him” Usually Taehyung could deal with negative fan comments.  He was a naturally sweet and cheerful person who would be upset for a few minutes before moving on. This week it was harder. Taehyung was tired, and it was harder for him to shake it off and move on.

- Sun Rises After the Dawn (part of Trainee AU series) by sweetponzu; 3k status: complete Jimin didn't come to Seoul to be best friends with everyone. But it would be nice if Yoongi at least pretended to like him. After all, they may just debut together. (Or the continuation of the Trainee AU. I recommend reading the first one prior to this.) (this is the part one which is Yoongi-centric; both works are amazing, I totally recommend reading them)

- please be gentle (I'm just a little bit fragile) (part of I'm fine, hyung | BTS oneshots series) by Takykardi; 7k status: complete One moment he was looking at Seokjin's mischievous face and in the next the air was knocked out of him, and now it hurts or; Seokjin unknowingly takes it a little too far at the filming of Run! BTS, and needs to clear things up with a cute little mochi  

- Art is Life (part of They're human too series) by CitizenoftheWorld; 5k status: complete “You seem a little out of it,” Yoongi spoke quietly. “You’re right,” Jimin said, not trying to play any mind games.Yoongi was quiet and Jimin recognized this as Yoongi trying to be as gentle as possible before saying anything at all. “Is it something that just happened?” Jimin shrugged. “I just don’t understand how everyone can just… not care.” [It doesn’t go unnoticed that Jimin seems to never be satisfied with his performances.]

- In the Spring that Follows by Sayparkjimin_07; 6k status: complete “Are you alright Jiminie? Jimin made a noise in the back of his throat, clearing it slightly before answering back, “Yes. I’m alright Taehyungie.” Taehyung hummed before going to lay down behind him, wrapping an arm around his waist as he curled up behind him. Jimin tucked his head under Taehyung’s chin and begin to relax. He felt fingers begin to thread through his hair, and he sighed happily. “I hope you feel better tomorrow, Jiminie.”Jimin did not feel better the next day.   --- Jimin didn't know where the sudden exhaustion plaguing him as he boarded the flight to Sao Paulo came from, but he just pushed off as post-concert exhaustion and an uneasy night's sleep. Little did Jimin know that a bit of exhaustion would transform into a terrible case of laryngitis. Good things he has his hyungs and maknaes to look out for him.

- Love ‘n’ Stuff by kpop-till-you-drop (gypsophilasscribbles); 2k status: complete Jimin is a hug whore but the other members don't mind.

- Almost There by writes_with_sass; 14k status: complete The life of an idol is physically demanding and Jimin has been overworking himself. While on the way to Macau for the BTS Live Trilogy Episode III The Wings concert, the calm before the storm officially comes to a head. Jimin suffers a neck injury and Bangtan does everything they can to help him.

- Pushover series by Error401; 12k status: complete (basically, Jimin is a dancer and his company is abusive, then he meets a crew he will be working with - can you guess who are they? - and slowly he becomes more confident) triggering themes; read with caution

- I don’t need your hate (part of They’re human too series) by CitizenoftheWorld; 3k status: complete #KickJhopeOutBTS is trending “You haven’t been smiling a lot lately,” was the reasoning PR came up with upon seeing the hashtag trending, “You should smile more. That may help. But whatever any of you do, do not address this directly.” [As Bangtan grows people start to love Hoseok more, but Hoseok has always been a hard worker]

- When The World Is Just too Much by soulmetalfairy; 364k status: complete Jung Hoseok always has his ups and down's, sometimes good, sometimes bad. When they are bad, they are unbearable days, days that he can barely function. Be it anxiety, or depression, or neither of the two, the other members will always be there for him. (The many times that Bangtan have been there for Hoseok when he needed them the most.) (Each chapter can stand alone.)

- Underwater by Talking_Cabbage; 47k status: complete Everything about Hoseok’s life defied statistics. He auditioned and somehow made it into BTS. Somehow, BTS became one of the most famous music acts in the world, breaking all kinds of records. Somehow, he suffered from a medical condition less than one in 10,000 people get a year. or Hoseok suffers from a brain injury that leaves him with debilitating side effects and a daunting recovery process. (I haven’t finished it because injuries like that ruin me emotionally and I can’t do this to myself)

- The Chaos of Control by smolkook; 11k status: complete It hurt. Of course it hurt, he’d just trapped his hand in a drawer. Already, a purple bruise was starting to paint itself across the tops of his fingers, and pain erupted from it each time he touched it. But tinting this pain was a relief so sweet that the boy found himself subconsciously rubbing his thumb across the injury throughout the course of the day, because it served as a reminder that he’d definitely checked the drawer that morning, and so he was safe to dismiss any anxiety that popped up about it. Hoseok wasn’t sure what he should have been more terrified of: the fact he’d just injured himself on purpose, or the fact that, knowing it had brought him relief from the urge to perform his ritual, he wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. (triggering warnings, read tags! - also, haven’t read yet)

- If I don’t make it by Courtkpop123; 19k status: complete Hoseok becomes sick but ignores it, it eventually turns more serious than he could have imagined. -requested by Imogen This is in no means medically accurate. I will not be including family as I want to focus mainly on the boys. I’ve tried my best so please enjoy :) (haven’t read it, the theme is not a fave of mine:/)

- Under the waves, and the earth of an age by sugarboms898; 3k status: complete His heart is breaking in his chest, but he can’t move–can’t let them see. It was bad enough they heard him, but if they see what he is, he can never come back. Hoseok sucks in a sharp breath as the door to his room creaks on its hinges, Jimin’s tear-stained face peeking through the gap.

- above the water, we become swans (part of Don’t forget that I found you anyways [Fantasy AU] series) by silhouettedsilver; 8k status: complete [Six times Hoseok takes care of his new pack, and one time they take care of him in return.] Being in Bangtan is odd but also familiar. Due to that nature of packs, he’s spent his whole life around passionate people pushing for goals and dreams. The difference is those dreams have never truly aligned with his. He’d been in a pack primarily of teachers and caregivers, and so the closest he got to his own dream was one of his noonas studying music therapy. So it’s odd, because he’s been used to dancing and sweating and breathing heavily, but that had always been alone. There may have been other people with him when he practiced, but those were strangers or acquaintances. Never true friends, never people who bordered on family. So it’s strange, but a good kind of strange. A kind of strange he wants to grab and protect and hold close until it’s not just a part of his life that is strange, but his strange life.

- it’s such a hopeless world without you by raesjoonie; 1k status: complete Hoseok first solo trip to LA to shoot for a music video gets a bit lonely.

- throw stones at me, we don’t fear anymore, we are (we are) together: bulletproof (part of BTS requests series) by yoonkookies; 2k status: complete Could you do one where Jin is getting bullied by their manager and no one notices until Yoongi left something behind at the studio and over hears Jin being bullied by their manager? (from the same series: this, this and this, all jin-centric, platonic and angsty w/ happy endings, enjoy! This series of requests is pretty ansty so if you like this kind of thing, I totally recommend reading it!)

- Respect (part of Eternal Roommates - Platonic Yoonjin series) by noorge; 1k status: complete Before Bangtan debuted, and even for a few years after they debuted, Seokjin was not nearly as confident as he is today. In fact, he was so soft that he couldn't even bring himself to be mad at the other members, even when he should have.

- Kim Seokjn One-Shots by JinForLife; 34k status: incomplete (basically, jin-centric one-shots, but please read the tags because some of them are triggering!)

- Is That Your Dream? (part of They’re human too series) by CitizenoftheWorld; 3k status: complete “Your parents don’t want you here. And I know that you are way more loaded than you pretend to be. From an outsider's point of view, you don’t seem to fit in with the message we want to convey. But you choose to be here – with us. Why?” “You have an insider's point of view,” Seokjin said using Yoongi’s logic, “do you think I fit in?” [Despite Seokjin’s family's wishes he joins Bangtan and finds value in not needing anyone’s approval]

- on quiet days (and always) by freedthedoncastertwo; 6k status: complete Seokjin wakes up invisible and inaudible one morning and discovers just how much he’s loved.

- Scintilla of Doubt by heyakari; 7k status: complete Seokjin would like to think that he is a strong person. He faced a lot of harsh treatment but never did he expect to receive it from his beloved members. Two-shot. (it’s private so you need to create an account/ login to read it!)

- In Loco Parentis by Jyyn; 47k status: incomplete When Kim Seokjin unexpectedly becomes the new manager of struggling Idol group BTS, he’s faced with a downtrodden leader, a rapper who’s tired of failing his younger members, a dancer who isn’t allowed in public without a mask on, and a vocal line too afraid to even look him in the eye. There had always been whispers of abuse in the K-pop industry, but he’d never expected to encounter it so dramatically. Still, unlike their past manager, Seokjin was actually a decent human being, and he was going to do whatever it took to help the six of them heal. (Whether they trusted him to or not.)

- SeokjinxBTS series by yoonkookies; 8k status: incomplete (Jin-centric one-shots, enjoy!)

- Attack on Bangtan by CitizenoftheWorld; 10k status: complete “Gosh– you’re blaming me for all of this, right?” Seokjin sounded a little hysterical. “You’re acting like you didn’t stop talking to me when I-” Yoongi had his eyes shot open and his mouth ready to say something back, when he all of the sudden started to laugh. “Boy,” he gasped, “fame really doesn’t suite you, Seokjin.” That was said without honorifics. [Bangtan got split up into two separate groups two years after their debut, then they meet again] (it’s not exactly Jin-centric, more like a mix of different pov’s but it’s just so amazing, I totally recommend - and a happy ending obv)

- Everybody Loves Kim Seokjin (series of one-shots/ requests) by Taepickles; 199k status: incomplete BTS short stories but it's jin centric cuz mah boi Jin deserves more love Totally platonic relationships no boyxboy, no smut, but probs a lot of angst cuz I'm a sick person who loves angst oops (it’s about 105 chapters and still goes so good luck!)

- Beginnings, Snippets and Sides: The Second (part of Make Your Home in My Heart series) by I_just_want_sleep; 4k status: complete (the series is incomplete but the works can be read as one-shots so it’s okay) The first time that Kim Seokjin ever told Min Yoongi that it was time for a nap was a learning experience for the both of them, and it went like this.

- Island of Calm by Copperstown; 30k status: complete Seokjin and Yoongi are each others' islands of calm in the happy but chaotic mess that is Bangtan. A collection of one-shot stories about their close friendship and being there for each other at all times, even in mundane everyday situations. (it’s not exactly jin-centric, more like jin/yoongi-centric so I will include it in both categories but it’s so cute, I love their bromance)
