Cherry Tree Inn (jicheol, 45k, completed)

obsessed with the plot twist in this one! the damsel in distress!hoon x hero!cheol dynamic never fails

The Times We Fell (minwon, 46k, completed)

this one definitely did things to my heart :"") loved the visuals of hockeyplayer!mingyu x figureskater!wonwoo, the development of their enemies(?)-to-friends-to-lovers arc, how their relationship remained strong and steady throughout despite being met with various obstacles and external pressures along the way, how Mingyu rekindled Wonwoo's love for skating not once but twice, just them being a healthy and supportive couple - a beautiful read!

Access Granted (jicheol, 45k, completed)

the jicheol banter was golden in this one

divine pain, pain divine (gyucheol, 44k, completed)

the enemies-to-lovers-to-exes-to-lovers pipeline i never knew i needed

cut to the feeling (soonwoo, 44k, completed)

this was a character study on emotional self-torture and every chapter was an absolute sucker punch to the gut - loved the sadness and pining for the drama but i also felt like plot-wise the events didn't really justify the intensity of it all as much as the author's other piece :"/ writing was still amazing though!!

gold fever (seokgyu, 43k words, completed)

archer!seokmin x weightlifter!mingyu in a college au - really liked the vibes and writing in this fic :) seokgyu fics are rare and i feel like it's bc their dynamics on-camera mostly revolve around teasing/bickering it's hard to picture anything else, but the slow-burn element brought smth fresh and new to their dynamics and it was such an enjoyable read!

hat-trick (seokgyu, 42k words, completed)

The September Issue (wonshua, 40k words, completed)

brings me back to that gose episode where jeongcheol open a restaurant and there's a wonshua moment where they're trying to break chopsticks exactly in half and someone said it looks like they were a couple on their first date... except in the fic there's a slight age-gap dynamic and wonwoo is such a sweetheart here

I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens (jicheol, 40k words, completed)

after reading this i think it's safe to say we all need a cheol during an apocalypse

who i am when i'm not around (junshua, 39k words, completed)

darling bang on my door (i won't know if it's all in your head)l (vercheol, 39k words, completed)

after reading this i've come to the conclusion that the world is in dire need of more vercheol fics!! this was slow burn at its peak, tension was immaculate, so much yearning with even more left unsaid

very hot no notes but also very sweet

absolutely living for the dialogue and banter between these two during the counseling sessions - such a unique setting, a v good fic!

secondhand smoke (gyucheol, 30k words, completed)

this was the start of my spiral down the gyucheol rabbit hole: collegiate sport aus will always be superior

just let me know (i'll be on the floor) (verkwan, 30k words, completed)

soft and sweet friends-to-lovers fic that made my heart so warm!! really loved how their relationship unfolded over time, how they took care of each other as roommates, with seungkwan's obliviousness and denial and vernon being so patient with him throughout - 'twas a lovely slice-of-life read that brought comfort and joy :)

A (Revised Guide to Lab Safety) (soonwoo, 25k words, completed)

askjfsds this was an amazing mix of soonwoo peer dynamics in a college au + science!! their lab partners-to-friends-to-lovers arc was really too cute so i'd highly recommend this to soonwoo enthusiasts

tu me manques (minwon, 26k words, completed)

this really captured the feeling of watching 90s & early 2000s romcoms (think before sunrise, chasing liberty, serendipity etc) and was written so beautifully i might cry :"") really loved the travelling aspect of it, the scenic descriptions of each city made the fic so immersive, like i was there along w them sigh

also wonwoo has slight manic pixie dream boy vibes and mingyu is just there lolol

here kitty kitty (minwon, 26k words, completed)

the ultimate cosy fall read - this fic felt like a sip of warm tea by the fire on a chilly autumn evening :)

jealous jeonghan sad fics are everything

a mix of sun and clouds (soonwoo, 24k words, completed)

Paradise Lost (minwon, 24k, completed)

sad fics have a chokehold on me and this one definitely takes the cake... was left in tears and i would risk it all to experience it for the first time again

despite this being a post-apocalyptic au, the development of the romance arc was treated softly and gently, that the moments of tenderness between the mcs shone through the violence and ruin that surrounded them. it was a really refreshing take on domesticity, one that took me by surprise, and it's a pity that the author only has 2 works!! i need MORE

Bend (and Break) (seoksoon, 23k words, completed)

fwb-to-friends-to-lovers seoksoon?? another wholesome fic and i loved the build up in this fic, where the mcs are basically doing all but admitting their feelings for each other UGH so cute

Jack of all trades... (jicheol, 21k words, completed)

friday i'm in love (verkwan, 21k words, completed)

you make me feel good (i like it) (soonwoo, 18k words, completed)

Storm Warning (wonhui, 18k words, completed)

jun as a manic pixie dream type here is everything!! ww's feelings are so valid bc if jun was my neighbour, i too, would fall in love right away HAHA

Cold Hands, Warm Heart (jicheol, 17k words, completed)

apocalypse aus always hit so hard and this fic was no exception - i was expecting a much darker arc based on the blurb, but the author managed to transform such a dire situation into one full of love, warmth and hope :") definitely check this one out!! there's also a (slightly) heart-wrenching (tiny) minwon arc on the side

now i'm covered in you (soonwoo, 16k words, completed)

15k words of pure domestic fluff :") wonwoo and cheol are so soft with each other in this fic and cheol being so oblivious throughout really takes the cake HAHA

burning the wick at both ends (jeongcheol, 14k words, completed)

getting back with an ex is never a good idea... unless it's jeongcheol

in the dream where I am an island (jeongcheol, 14k words, completed)

Brew Me a Little Love (gyucheol, 14k words, completed)

full ten (minwon, 14k words, completed)

super adorable strangers-to-roommates-to-lovers fic!! i really loved that they each had their own lives (preferences, habits, jobs and interests) before they met each other, and coming to live together only made their lives better - there's just something about the intimacy of co-existing in the same space with someone, bonding over simple weeknight dinners, developing a shared routine over time :"")

favorite (minwon, 14k, completed)

this was a v lovely friends-to-lovers fic - really loved the timelapse of small moments between them from both perspectives!

helios (minwon, 13k, completed)

a literal masterpiece - great execution of a cool concept, and wonwoo's persona as an artist was really well-crafted!!

runaway (verkwan, 13k, completed)

this fic highlights an inseparable quality about verkwan, that there'll always be invisible string tugging at both of them, keeping them by side by side - amazing!

day ones all i keep around me (minwon, 12k words, completed)

established (secret) relationship where minwon tries to soft-launch their marriage but their fans are too dense to realise LMAO this was really cute, and i loved the dynamics between streamer!wonwoo x soccerplayer!mingyu hehe

Flowers In My Path, My Love (seokwoo, 12k words, completed)

JEONGCHEOL

"tangled up like ropes". royalty!au: commander!sc, prince!jh. oneshot, 2k. nc-17.

He swallows down the desire to simply sink to his knees before the young prince, the way he does in their private moments, calling on self-control he isn’t certain he actually possesses.

Jeonghan must notice, of course he does; the smirk that dances on his lips is wicked. Promising.

"bed sheets". au. oneshot, 3k. r.

The morning after… where both Seungcheol and Jeonghan didn't remember anything.

"i'm trying to think of love as an open door". oneshot, 7k. r. ♡♡

Seungcheol takes in the occupants of the Boohan dorm when it floods. It makes Jeonghan face some things.

"can't we just pretend? (it's only us)". fake dating!au. oneshot, 11k. pg-13.

Seungcheol agrees to pretend to be Jeonghan's partner to get free food at restaurants.

The problem? Seungcheol's in love with him.

"out of office". office!au. oneshot, 21k. nc-17.

“This will be good, hyung! Maybe you can finally jump his bones!” Seungkwan pats Jeonghan’s shoulder comfortingly.

“I cannot fuck the boss on a company outing!”

"give me all you got!". au: boxer!sc, med student!jh. oneshot, 22k. nc-17.

Jeonghan spends his summer in med school treating fighters from an underground boxing ring. Seungcheol is one of his most interesting patients.

"broken chains". prison!au, gang!au: gang leader!sc. 7 chapters, 81k. nc-17. (pls check the tags!)

"You will most definitely become someone's bitch. Unless, of course, you have protection. Which I," Seungcheol places a hand over his heart and tilts his head to the left in a mimicry of sincerity that does the opposite of reassure Jeonghan. "will be happy to supply under one condition."

Jeonghan gazes at him wearily. "Under what condition?"

"I own you. In every aspect of the word."

↳ "broken wings". gang!au: gang leader!sc. 13 chapters, 147k. nc-17. (pls check the tags!) ♡

"Angel, huh? Where are your wings?"

"I fell out of heaven," Jeonghan hums, keeping the man's attention on his face with one hand caressing his jaw as the other slips down, down toward the lace garter hugging his left thigh beneath his robes. His smile is soft, sweet, and he holds an air of innocence that takes people's guard down perhaps a bit too easily. He leans in, lowers his voice into the seductive whisper that never fails to make men weak in the knees. "And my daddy cut them off when he found me."

↳ "broken ties". gang!au: gang leader!sc. 8 chapters, 94k. nc-17. (pls check the tags!)

“It’s not safe.”

He hums in question, eyes scanning over what he’s written so far. Seungcheol doesn’t immediately repeat himself, so Jeonghan lets the statement hang in the air. He rubs at his eye with the heel of his hand, stifling a yawn. He only needs a couple more lines before he’ll call it a night and fold the paper to leave on the desk until he can give it to Jonghyun in the morning.

“This isn’t safe, Jeonghan."

MINWON

"we're a waterfall". oneshot, 3k. nc-17.

Wonwoo discovers the extent of Mingyu’s admiration.

"when you're this close". oneshot, 5k. nc-17.

They’ve been sharing rides, sharing stages, sharing dressing rooms, but not a single intimate touch has passed between them in what feels like forever. And now, sitting side by side for yet another interview, the dull ache that’s been gnawing at him for days suddenly flares into something stronger, more urgent.

Awful, terrible timing for Mingyu to reach his breaking point.

"you should see the things we do". oneshot, 9k. nc-17. ♡

Mingyu wants to bottom again. Wonwoo gives him exactly what he wants.

"ohio gozaimasu". au. oneshot, 19k. pg-13.

Wonwoo is already on this stupid dating app against his will. He has absolutely no intention of reconnecting with a past underclassman who is wildly competent (allegedly) and has A Thing for shoulders.

"when sun meets snow". au. 6 chapters, 27.6k. nc-17.

The first memories Mingyu has of Wonwoo are long from his childhood, when Wonwoo hyung was too big and cool to play with toy cars and trucks, so he’d lend them to the toddler that lived upstairs.

More than a decade later, they meet by chance in South Korea’s alps. Things don’t exactly pick up where they left off because damn it, Mingyu didn’t have a crush on him when he was three.

Now, though…

OTHER

"hook & eye". wonchan. oneshot, 1.7k. nc-17.

The bra swings back and forth like a pendulum, almost mocking Chan. “What is this?” he squeaks.

Wonwoo’s mouth opens and closes, looking a bit like a surprised fish.

“Hyung?” Left, then right, the bra swings. “Hyung, are you cheating on me?”

"just a game". seokwoo. oneshot, 3k. nc-17. ♡

Seokmin keeps betraying Wonwoo during GoSe.

"decadence". jeonghan/svt. oneshot, 3k. nc-17.

“Good girl,” Mingyu breathes out, and those two words are enough to have Jeonghan gasping for air, his hands cupping the back of Mingyu’s head as Mingyu’s lips press against his neck.

He’s their good girl. Jeonghan has always wished to be just that.

"what if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh". seoksoon. omegaverse: alpha!hs, omega!dk. oneshot, 4k. nc-17.

"It's not just physical energy, you know, it's also like. In my head. There's so many things flying around and," Seokmin hands Soonyoung his pair of house slippers, "I don't think I will have time to do them all before, well."

"I could help," Seokmin repeats, "clear the noise out of your head."

"all about chemistry". seokcheol. rule!63, omegaverse: omega!sc, alpha!dk. oneshot, 6k. nc-17.

From trailing Jihyo into a lesbian bar like a confused duckling to crying as Jeonghan chopped her hair off in their bathroom (and then crying again as Minghao fixed it) took Somin maybe two years, if Seungchae's remembering correctly. She could already see the shape of who Somin was becoming - an alpha slowly shedding other people's expectations, blossoming into her own strength with a handsome, cocksure grin.

"meltwater". gyushua. au. oneshot, 8.6k. nc-17.

“Shua-yah.” It’s just the call of his name, but it makes something prickle at the back of Joshua’s neck. He looks up. Mingyu is holding a pause, but once their eyes meet, he exhales. Joshua swears he can hear Mingyu’s breath shudder. “Are you gonna make me beg?”

"have you ever tried... this one?". jigyu. au: idol!wz, fanboy!mg. oneshot, 10k. nc-17.

Mingyu knows he doesn’t match the target demographic for idol boy groups. He knows entertainment companies aren’t hoping to impress male office workers in their late twenties, but Mingyu’s been a goner for one idol group in particular since 2015.

One particular idol, really.

"while i make you mine (wait a minute)". verkwan. omegaverse: omega!sk, alpha!vn. 5 chapters, 61k. nc-17.

Hansol is possessed. Or at the very least, certifiably insane. It’s the only explanation.

Firstly, those of you who are not even a fan, who does not even follow Rowoon throughout his idol career and are here purely for the bandwagon, please kindly take a step back.

There has always been a reason why some fans knew this was coming and it's not because of the so called 'acting disease' which ya'll seem to assume. There's an unspoken reason which only true fans would know. He has been suffering from a herniated disc since 2020. Before that, he has been really involved with group activities but ever since the injury he sustained, he has not been able to fully participate due to the intense choreographies which he obviously wouldn't be able to do anymore.

Herniated disc is no joke and it doesn't just go away like any other minor injuries. Being put into acting projects is a more manageable and sustainable route for him to contribute to the company as well as his group's brand. Participating in multiple performances would just take a toll on his health because it's not just a one time performance, it's basically hours of practices and rehearsals which would be a sh*tty thing to do to yourself if you have a long ongoing back issues. His problem was so bad at one point that he couldn't even walk without the help of crutches.

It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation when it comes to Rowoon because when he priotises his health by not participating and doing other things to contribute instead, people get mad saying that it doesn't feel like he's part of the group then when he tries to participate like the latest comeback, people still get mad because of his dancing and bashed him for his lack of energy and passion. The man is still struggling with a herniated disc, of course he's not going to be able to dance as intensely as he used to. Unless you want him to break his back and paralyze himself in the future maybe.

To be honest, I can see why he may have felt slightly upset about the fans because of the bashing he received due to issues he has no control over. So before anyone mentions Eunwoo or Junho or whatever other actor idols out there who manages to juggle just fine, do they have any underlying health issues that could prevent them from performing choreo? Their situation is completely different so you can't really compare.

Sure, he can stick with doing the bare minimum choreo while aggravating his condition to become worse while also taking in all the bashing comments about his lack of energy for dancing but why should he? It will only make him feel guilty for bringing the group down because he would never be able to perform on par with them and he will only stick out like a sore thumb for all their upcoming performances.

So honestly, this is a right decision he made for himself as well as for his group members. Fans will just have to accept it whether they like it or not. I don't think he owes the fans any proper or detailed explanation for his decision because only real fans would know the truth from the start. If he were to state anything and reveal his vulnerabilities, it would just sound like an excuse to some people anyway so it's best that he does not mention it at all.

I expected Fantasies to be more understanding about his situation to be honest but I fully understand that the disappointment/anger felt are completely valid. I am too. I am disappointed that he's no longer SF9's Rowoon. But as a fan, I also could understand his struggles and the decision he made with him and his group members in mind. It is for the best. It's time for us to just move on and continue to support them as a group and support Rowoon on his new path as well.
