hats off to papa bear and his patience with their youngest.

really reminds me of this sungjin

E a Primavera Se Vai

23/03/24; Capa para uso pessoal.

Park Sungjin e Kang Younghyun, Day6.

This time i will try to review(?) some sungbri fanfictions i’ve been binge reading since last year. I’ve been itching to do this. I actually crave more, especially the canon compliant ones, but i have to limit myself to keep my sanity. Also i need more fic about sungbriwoon family with parent sungbri and baby/son doun.

OK, I'll start now. Since english isn't my first language it will be messy. But the fanfictions I will review(?) is mostly in english bcus reading fanfictions in my own language makes me cringe >ᴗ< but i’ll also review them (in my own language), one or two that i really like. Also mostly they are from AO3, so yeah. To the writers that their fic i review(?) here, if you found this, please forgive me if this essay offends you or something, i didn't intend to.

Oh, to inform you guys (who?) I'm not a fan of the “switch” couple, I'm a “top!sungjin-bottom!brian/youngk” truther (bcus i refuse to believe someone with major babygirl behavior is a top, and king of testosterone, the epitome of masculinity, the ruler of men, the capital XY is a bottom). So, the fanfictions are limited to that. This will be a long list. Let's get started!

[redacted] by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Youtuber. A story about youtube mukbanger sungbri one-sided rivalry. This is not the first sungbri fic i read, but this is the first i bookmarked. Maybe most of you have read this. I really love the story. I am actually not a fan of enemies/rivals to lovers but I had so much fun reading this, and keep re-reading. The story, the characterization, also the kangwondo dynamic, the best!  The tiny ‘off’ from this fic (for me) is why would kangwondo text each other when they live under the same roof? I mean, yes their dynamic is fun to read, but I still don't get this kind of concept. But that doesn't make the fic bad. Overall is good. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

take my hand, don't ever let go by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. A story about fox hybrid youngk and restaurant owner/chef sungjin against the world or the governor and youngk adoptive parents, specifically. Wow, just this is a major spoiler for ones who haven't read this. But i believe most of you have read it. I love the world building also the characters dynamic. The slow burn from strangers to friends to lovers is aju nice! My favorite is jaepil dynamic, i really like detective parkjaehyung character here he's really cool and fun. Also, even not the major theme, i can still feel the thrill. I keep re-reading. Need to protect fox hybrids!

choice of convenience by sbanon. 2020. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. This is the best fic (for me) that 'sums up' sungbri relationship irl. I always get the arranged marriage couple vibe from them, just add the drama and BOOM!! The writer didn't miss brian simping over sungjin agenda, it’s everywhere in the fic. Sungjin’s character is too tough and stoic, like a typical cold-hearted first male lead in k-drama, but it’s perfect for the plot and the drama. Because brian will shower and soften him with his unconditional love. The eternal sunshine is melting the tough guy character. Too bad we don't get doun as their adoptive son here. Overall it is perfect and the best. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Sbanon’s short fic collection. 2020-2021. Mature. Alternative Universe and Canon compliant. Here are my favorites: ✮ Urs. Friends with benefits to lovers. Angst with a happy ending. Love it! ✮ shadows and chicken wings. A very soft and domestic night call. Sungjin is away, brian is sleepy and missing his man so badly. ✮ fck me & feed me. Explicit. Wow HOT!! Just brian simping over sungjin agenda, but make it spicy. ( • ᴗ - ) ✧ ✮ it’s because i’m missing you. Just brian/youngk missing sungjin's voice or sungjin in general. ✮ star-crossed. Dramatic brian/youngk antagonize twitter zodiac sign post, kind of.

You and I and Eternity by pandaysal. 2021. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. This is the one that is similar to gusari's iwaoi doujin "beginning to end" i talked about in my pre-pre-previous essay. The things about soulmate and childhood friends to lovers. I didnt mean it as plagiarism but the concept is so iwaoi. Idk how to word this right. If you ship both iwaoi and sungbri, you'll get what I mean. This fic is beautiful, angst with a happy ending.

you might need to hear this, i need to talk by orphan_account (aw, too bad). 2019. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Depression and anxiety. Sungin in a storm and brian is there to calm the storm. I love how brian approaches Sungjin and handles the situation even though he’s just waking up. Reading this makes me sad, and hurts me too. But the writer gives it a soft scene for the ending. ദ്ദി( ╥ ᴗ ╥)

You know, I know by KlavierRPF (KlavierWrites). 2020. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungbri relationship through 5+1 POV. From subtle pining for each other to lovers. 

morning kiss by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. One fine morning in sungbri household. Featuring brian's parents and cat. A domestic, cute and soft fic.

everyone wants to find the most beautiful eyes, i just want to comb your hair. By smolcloud. 2023. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Stressed brian can’t finish a new song and can't sleep, goes to sungjin for comfort. 

Beacon Hills series by anonymous (idk who). 2021-2022. Teen and Up, Mature, Explicit. Completed. Alternative Universe. Urban Fantasy. A story about werewolf sungjin and witch brian/youngk. This one reminds me of demon hunter iwaoi fic that was posted on ao3 too, idk what year it was posted but i believe this sungbri one posted first. I didn't mean it as plagiarism, they are totally two different fics but have similar vibe. Nevermind. Can be called friends to lovers to mates. Not really slow burn, not rushed too, the pace is just right.

GrumpyAsFuck’s fic collection. I really love their fics, I read almost all of them. The way they write, the detailed setting and character physical features (or flaws), the characterization, the push and pull, the suggestive theme, the tension, the punchline, all of them are the best quality ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧. I had a lot of fun everytime reading their stories. Mostly labeled as Mature, i’ll write it if it’s not. Here are some of their fics I really like: ✮ Dans le noir sans ton regard je saurai peut être mieux. A getting together canon compliant fic setting after sungbri D-Day. ✮ Young dumb and prone to public indecency. A story inspired by that famous clip of sungjin's amazing self-control for not grabbing brian/youngk exposed knee. I kept giggling while reading this one. ✮ Hug a bassist day. Just brian/youngk wants to be hugged by sungjin. A really cute fic. ✮ That grow (old) together type love. Domestic sungbri talking about their future after retirement. Sweet but a little angsty. ✮ Whisper it like a secret. A canon compliant fic inspired by brian/youngk shoulders flinched cutely. ✮ Smooth like (shea) butter. Just a lip treatment routine but make it a sungbri kiss fic. ✮ 230719. I call this one “Sungjin The Mosquito Hunter”. Brian/youngk can't sleep and Sungjin helps him. A funny fic with suggestive themes. ✮ 240117 – Busan Rizz. Brian/youngk flirting attempts backfire, kind of. ✮ 240306. I call this one “His Wardrobe”. Sungjin helps brian/youngk dress. This was definitely inspired by brian/youngk showing off he got free access to sungjin’s wardrobe. ✮ Was gonna love you (But I'm outnumbered). Explicit. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Fantasy/Magic. Brian/youngk and his harem but all of them are sungjin. (≖⩊≖) ✮ Come sing by the fire with me. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Unfinished. Canon compliant. A secret relationship fic. Or they call it: parksungjjiniya missing episode. ✮ I wanna take you to a. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant-ish Alternative Universe, kind of, idk how to word this right. Post military university student sungbri bonding (intimately). (≖⩊≖) ✮ Place locked away with tears. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Not K-pop Idol. Halloween fic. Sungjin meets brian/youngk in a motel. Should've been a scary fic but the sadness is unbearable. ✮ No Such Thing As Bad Decisions In Kang Younghyun's Cook Book Of Great Decisions. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungbri having a pillowtalk(?). Definitely inspired by brian/youngk tmi about visiting sungjin in busan in the predebut era. ✮ Mr. Sandman. Explicit. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Not K-pop Idol. A steaming hot fic with human sungjin and demon brian/youngk. ✮ Safe and Sound. A little conversation in the chairlift, I’ll call it the cut scene from ‘healing trip is an excuse 3’. Cant help but keep smiling while reading this. Super cute fluff. ✮ 250325 — nos racines s'entremêlent. Brian/youngk is anxious and Sungbri has a discussion about living together. Inspired by the news on Wonpil moving out. This story somehow calmed my ridiculous anxiety, ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª Also after hearing youngk’s story on ‘Maybe Tomorrow’ Live, I became to assume that this story was written by youngk himself. Nicely written, great story.

Drifting by centersoul. 2022. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. A sleepy brian/youngk become super clingy to sungjin.

stuck on replay by anonymous (idk who). 2021. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Kid fic. A story about uncle sungjin, kindergarten teacher brian/youngk and kid doun. A super adorable fic. (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) I Need more sungbriwoon fic!!

Cross the Line by rorobynne. 2024. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungjin wants to kiss brian/youngk so badly.

those pleasures in the night by orphan_account (aw, too bad). 2020. Explicit. Oneshot. Omegaverse. Fox hybrid omega brian/youngk got in heat while on a concert tour. 

Your name tattooed on my heart by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Explicit. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Soulmate. Strangers to friends with benefits to enemies(?) to lovers for real. A story about tattoo artist sungjin that has trauma with an ex lover meets florist brian/youngk. A slow burn, eh not really, they straight(?) to sex tho. Even though labeled as explicit, I don't think it's that hot, just steamy, still safe. Full angst with spiciness, but happy ending. This is written beautifully. The way the writer executes this is brilliant. The conflict, the resolution, the drama. The pace is not that fast and not that slow, just right. It's so romantic sungjin's way to win brian's heart and trust back. Also how brian still putting his guard up even though he already accepts Sungjin's apology. 

Brighter than Sunshine by wintercoda. 2023. Explicit. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Sungjin brings brian/youngk to meet his parents. That fake relationship fic. Friends to lovers. I really like how the writer inserts the canon materials here. Fit perfectly! Also the domestic vibe! *chef kiss* My favorite part is when brian/youngk helping sungjin put on his shirt. Also when sungjin woke up to brian, hand across his chest and still with eyes closed, smiling to him. Very domestic and the tension too, ugh! Reading this again after 'witnessing' their relationship development irl is woah.. I wanna cry happy tears. 

to the heart & back by seohngjin (cngkyns). 2020. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Highschool. A slow burn enemies to friends then kinda fast burn to lovers. Ambitious brian antagonises sungjin just bcus he’s smarter and teachers favourite but too laid back for his liking. Lowkey, sungjin fell first but did nothing about it.

one, two, three (as easy as you + me) by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Highschool. Sungjin fell first, brian/youngk oblivious. Or brian thinking he's a homewrecker. It's funny how brian character is the hot nerd(?) that has zero dating experience, not even a first kiss. But that's very cute of him. Also jaepil the third wheel. ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

I Wanna, I Wanna, I Wanna Touch You by CrowsGift. 2022. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant(?). Military era brian/youngk got punished by sungjin, in a hot way. (≖⩊≖)

Our Melodies and Melancholy by pskytales. 2024. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. A complicated story between singer sungjin and producer brian/youngk. Full angst but happy ending. Song fic, I guess. Listen to 'didn't know' while reading this.

Nobody Knows by anonymous (idk who). 2024. Explicit. Oneshot. Omegaverse. ‘Alpha’ Brian/youngk behind the closed door. P.s. he’s an omega. (≖⩊≖)

Possibly Till Sunrise by rorobynne. 2024. Mature. Oneshot. Brian/youngk exploring new spicy things and Sungjin can't get enough of him. I'm not sure, is this canon compliant or alternative universe, but super hot, love it! This should've been labeled as explicit rather than mature. I mean it, this is super hot!! (๑>؂•̀๑)

easy work for an easy A by honnou_archive (honnou). 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Warning: age gap, but not really shown. Just take a wild guest. A funny fic but poor kimwonpil, boy must be traumatized, let's go to therapy together. ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª

Deisikseu’s alternative universe oneshot collection. Most of their stories are alternative universes. I mean how come one puts a pair in a lot of universes? That must be a multiverse of madness inside their head, and they aren't the common universe! Like mostly ‘magical’. Also I call them the master of angst sungbri, bcus how come this person loves to make sungbri suffer? But their writing skill is amazing, i can visualize every scene perfectly and the emotions are ugh, pained in my meow meow. All of their stories are labeled as mature, but lately(?) they make a 'corner' for explicit sungbri fics. Here are some of their fics I really like: ✮ 011693. Brian is lost and then ‘meets’ sungjin in an old phone booth. Kinda like the concept of 'your name' anime. Short angst, kinda eerie but magical. ✮ Where the Sunflower Grows. Yes, angst but happy ending! A beautiful story of sungjin and his beautiful sunflower. ✮ Beyond the Negatives. A really nice concept. A little angsty and magical. Kinda reminds me of something but I can't recall what it is. ✮ A Kiss of Celestial Ashes. Icarus sungjin’s endless love for sun brian/youngk. And of course he died, what did I expect? Damn hurt btw. (╥_╥) ✮ Letters in the Ruins. Soldier sungbri. Damn someone died! Of course it's a war story. ✮ Allergic to Love. I’m sorry for your break up, brian, but that brings you to sungjin. Finally! A sweet fic! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ ✮ printf("Hello World!\n"); kind of creepy but nice concept. Should've been a halloween fic too. I really love the vibe and the setting in this one, wish I could be trapped there. ✮ Fading Strings. Damn hurt. Just hurt bruh, no comfort. ✮ Fading Grace. Zombie apocalypse. Of course someone died. I cry with you brian! (つ╥﹏╥)つ ✮ 7:20 am. A cute meet cute story. University student sungbri in a morning subway. ✮ Seafoam Lullabies. Siren brian/youngk and sailor sungjin. Someone died, not surprising. This one has the similar emotion and concept like the icarus one. The pain is unbearable. damn. ✮ Drafted in Red. Halloween fic. Cereal killer and writer, power couple!! That trope and the ship I've been obsessed with! *chef kiss* it’s actually soft for a thrill theme. ✮ Marlboro Reds. Explicit. Cigarettes are hot. Friends with benefits? ✮ BMW Sedan. Explicit. Sungbri in a steaming hot car. Porn with feelings. Friends with benefits to lovers. (๑>؂•̀๑) ✮ Valentine. Explicit. Brian/youngk is sungjin's valentine present. Shibari plus blindfold with some streak of melted chocolates, what a perfect and hot valentine present. (๑>؂•̀๑) ✮ Pricked by Golden Point. When cupid's arrow hits the cupid himself. Meet-cute. Super cute, super sweet. Like a rom-com movie. (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵) ✮ Eclipse. When the sun and the moon kiss. That’s it! That’s the whole fic is about. ✮ Chocolatine. A soulmate au!! My favorite! Not really, the writer didn't mention it, just my assumption. A very sweet fic, just like the title. ✮ Ash and Silk. The prince and his knight eloping. A beautiful story, I might cry. No one dies, but it’s also not happy ever after. ✮ Bench Beneath the Gingko Tree. Teen and Up. Oneshot. This story is inspired by 'above the clouds'. Sungbri are an old married couple, they grow old and die together. A soulmate!! Okay, I think this is the first time in a while that a fanfiction makes me cry a lot. I've braced myself but still, literal tears rolled down my face. I recommend this bcus the story is really beautiful, it's not angst but it still damn hurts. Don't read it if you are sensitive with age like me. But if you do and if you can please leave a comment there, hehe.

fast times and fast nights by espressopeachtea. 2024. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. A secret relationship between F1 driver sungjin and singer brian/youngk. The title suits the story, a fast burn from strangers to friends to lovers. I love how the writer inserted canon materials/events and adjusted them with the plot, I almost forgot this is not canon compliant. Also how the writer describes brian’s worry and emotion in general for sungjin, ugh i get it. I happened to read this after watching the ferrari movie, so it is easier to feel the emotions and the vibe. Great story! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )

beneath the shattered sky by sugarvixx. 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Zombie apocalypse. The first part is funny, reminds me of zom100 anime. But of course the fun ends there. There is no hope. The writer already gave a trigger warning, so no use hoping for a happy ending, though there is a ‘soft and calm’ moment. That’s the ‘calm before the storm/in the eye of the storm’ scene. At least make them accidentally kiss once when they have the night talks! But, maybe the writer just wants to make sungbri suffer. Damn, I cry with you brian! (つ╥﹏╥)つ

worth it? by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Doun the third wheel in action, his parents just need a little push to be together. Good job and thank you, doun (and writer)! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

feeling you by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe(?). Soulmate. A little story about sungbri, one night, finding out they are each other's soulmate.

Mr. YoungK by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Kid fic. A story about uncle sungjin and kindergarten teacher brian/youngk. One day, Sungjin picked up his niece from day care and fell for brian at first sight. Then the classic but cute misunderstanding. This one isn't tagged as sungbri fic, but it’s sungbri to me.

one little thing (a ring) by espressopeachtea. 2024. General. Oneshot. Wonpil accidentally pranks brian, kind of. Or brian wants THE ring from sungjin. I’m not sure, is this canon compliant or alternative universe.

A Puppy Business by clefaire. 2022. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant (i think). Not sungbri, but it’s really cute. One day, Doun turns into a puppy, and the desik hyungs take care of him. Or how to shower your puppy maknae with a lot of love by desik. A little sungbri moment there, you blink you missed it.

Let Me See Your Eyes by wintercoda. 2025. Explicit. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. College/University. One sided rivalry to friends to lovers. I’m not sure how to summarize this story, but it’s a great one. The writer uses some canon materials and adjusts them to the plot. It's a complicated story, there’s fluff and also angst. My emotions are up and down while reading this. Also I'm not sure if the ending is happy, but it’s not sad. Oh, right, this is tagged as explicit but i dont think the porn is that explicit. (≖⩊≖)

we could burn by moonsixes. 2025. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant. A story when sungjin realized he always wanted brian all this time, a.k.a sungjin reciprocates brian’s feeling for him. Well, basically it’s sungjin overthinking until he does something about it, a.k.a sungjin letting his intrusive thoughts (feelings) win. It’s porn with feelings but super HOT!! The sexual tension is ugh, feels like I was there with them. freak. Idk how many times I re-read this. It’s written neatly, no rush, just right. Congratulations to sungbri, and thank you writer!

Love Shot by sungbricrumbs. 2020. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Another great porn. ( ≖‿  ≖ )Heehee. At first I thought they would have a deep conversation about feelings(?), depression, and anxiety, then having a slow emotional make out session. But that won't suit the title. They have angry sex instead, I didn't expect the angry part actually, haha. But that makes this story even hotter. Burning hot!

Find You by sungbricrumbs. 2020. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Super angst. Sungjin is a soldier and Brian is a doctor. It takes place during the Korean war, so I guess Sungjin will die in this story. Brian/youngk sends sungjin off to war and waits for him to go home to him, Sungjin never makes it. The pace of this story is kinda slow, it makes me anxious and the sadness is unbearable. It’s heartbreaking. Damn hurts. I thought there would be an epilogue where they met again in a different life. It's cliche but would be nice. Overall, it’s a great story.

The Night They Met by sungbricrumbs. 2020. Explicit. Oneshot (?) Alternative Universe. Wah, I actually am not sure how to review this, but this is a great porn. It’s the classic meet-ugly(?), brian is drunk and throws up on sungjin, then sungjin takes him home and they have a drunk sex. Done. Very delicious. Also brian calls sungjin “oppa”. ꉂ (≧ヮ≦)

My Secretary Kang by sungbricrumbs. 2020. Explicit. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. So I assume this is the sequel of the story above, and the actual whole story is a twitter thread. Well i dont know the original tweets, i just stumbled on it while being desperate. But reading this as a standalone story is fine too, I guess. No need to read the whole story. Anyway it’s another great porn. (≖⩊≖) Very delicious.

let me go home by sapphireblu. 2025. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Just a soft slice of life story of a married couple sungbri, cuddling in their warm house. Super soft. Love it!

The Only Time by housecleaningmusic. 2025. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant. When I read the summary, at first I was like, “finally someone writes about how pretty brian is when he cries.” I mean he has always been pretty, and I think he gets even prettier when he cries. But this was tagged as explicit and porn without plot, then i was like, “how come that can go together?” Still, I gave it a try to read, and damn it was A good porn. Definitely will re-read this as a bedtime story. Hahaha, freak! I think this is really funny.

Only by sugarvixx. 2025. Mature. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. This story is inspired by 'only'. Never expect a beautiful wedding song and 'blood and gore' tag, can go together. Maybe my imagination isn't that wild. Also didn't expect the 'corpse bride' reference, but that's a really nice and great idea. The story is not rushed or slow paced, the description is neat and nice, I can feel the mystery linger in the air (?). Ah, someone died but it's not sad. Don't worry, haha.

Thank you to all fanfiction writers, I know you write them for free so i hope you all have the best of life. ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰ Also, it turns out I'm not good at reviewing things. I can’t help myself to write ‘this written beautifully’ in every title. Because IT IS!! I'm lacking in vocabulary and not really good at writing, honestly. I want to point out my favorite scene in every explicit fics. Every time the writer(s) writes: sungjin pins/holds brian’s both hands/wrists above his head just with one hand. That’s so woah. I’m so embarrassed writing this. (>/////< " ) That makes me wonder if he can really do that irl, i mean not in an explicit way, just for research purposes. （´∇｀''）

(update: he can! well, not pinning them, but he can hold brian's both hands with just one hand! wow!!)

So, there are these 'freestyle' fics these people write and post on twitter. I call them freestyle bcus the writers don't care about formatting, just write out the ideas in their heads. Mostly the themes are slice of life, still some are canon compliant, some are alternative universes. Some are pretty short like just three long tweets, some are pretty long threads. I think this kind of writing is not popular yet in my place. I first saw these from ksungbri shipper accounts. At first I thought they write something like a 'news', like: "I saw this member yesterday at this place doing nothing." Bcus it's in Hangul, I'm too lazy to look up for the translation. But one day I gave it a try, and found out that this kind of writing is somewhat fun to read, I mean a little inconvenience since I have to look up for the translation. But some are worthy, some not, it depends on personal taste. So i bookmarked some, maybe you guys (who?) want to give them a try too. These stories don't have a title so the title is self-made for my own convenience, hehe. Also a reminder again, they are written in Korean Hangul, so you might need g.translate if you don't understand Korean like me, hehe. Here they are:

Sungjin and yonkkitty by 93persent. So here brian is literally a cat (Ke-Nyang/Ke-Kitty), and his human is sungjin. Just a cute slice of life story.

Sungbri cuddling by zzzzi_s2. Literally sungbri cuddling on bed, and sungjin kinda sentimental. They talk then sleep. This is canon compliant btw.

Sungbri weekday by 93persent. An alternative universe where sungbri is a couple but don't live together. One day brian/youngk visit sungjin’s place and suggest doing something spicy. Not a spicy fic btw, still tame, haha. This is kinda domestic.

Post-concert finale by myfavoritegy. A story after the last day of the encore concert, so it's canon compliant. This is written neatly, a beautiful story. They are so soft, vulnerable and domestic here.

Choding Sungbri by yummy_116. One day when sungbri got upset with each other, they wrote ‘things i hate about you’, then made up just like that. Very funny and childish. Here is the eng trans by kyugomi.

Rekomendasi fanfiction berbahasa inggris sudah, sekarang yang berbahasa indonesia. Sebenarnya, nggak banyak yang sudah kubaca. Bukan sombong atau gimana, memang sejak dulu entah apapun fandom dan kapalnya, aku lebih nyaman baca yang berbahasa inggris, apalagi yang labelnya dewasa. Sedikit cerita, pertama kali baca fanfiction dewasa berbahasa indonesia yang bahasanya eksplisit banget, aku trauma cukup lama. Mungkin karena pas baca itu aku belum cukup umur, jadi kayak ‘culture shock’ gitu. Sejak saat itu aku cuma baca fanfiction berbahasa inggris (terutama yang dewasa). Trus, nggak tau kenapa suka geli aja kalo baca yang berbahasa indonesia. Padahal (dulu pas masih nulis) aku cuma bisa nulis fanfiction berbahasa indonesia. Semoga para penulis fanfiction berbahasa indonesia tidak tersinggung dengan ‘pengakuanku’ ini. Maaf, ya… ( • ᴖ • ｡)

OK, ini adalah beberapa fanfiction sungbri (atau generasi sekarang lebih suka menyebutnya AU) berbahasa indonesia yang pernah kubaca dan aku cukup suka dengan ceritanya.

you're coming to me by henryneedswater. 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Bercerita tentang brian/youngk yang sedang menjalani masa KKN di desa kampung halaman sungjin. Setting-nya lokal alias tkp di indonesia, jadi budayanya juga indonesia. Ini adalah fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia pertama yang aku baca, dan kayaknya yang pertama juga yang di-post di ao3. Jadi, karena waktu itu baru satu ini, aku coba iseng baca. Ternyata ceritanya nggak terlalu buruk meskipun kayaknya memang ditulis terburu-buru satu dudukan langsung jadi. Format penulisannya juga gak terlalu berantakan sekalipun alurnya bikin aku agak bingung. Tapi aku suka alur dan temanya. Good job! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

Perjodohan by liquidalveolar & breezyxwinter. 2020-2022. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Cerita ini hampir sempurna buatku. Bercerita tentang brian/youngk, anak tunggal kaya raya yang manja, yang dipaksa dijodohkan untuk menikah dengan sungjin, anak tunggal dari keluarga menengah ke bawah yang kerjanya serabutan. Untuk yang ini aku nggak sengaja nemu pas searching keyword sungbri di twitter. Awalnya ragu-ragu mau baca, soalnya dari abstrak cerita kayak drama tipikal sinetron indonesia. Trus iseng aja pilih bab acak dan jadi penasaran. Ternyata tidak drama mendayu-dayu, cuma cerita kehidupan sehari-hari rumah tangga sungbri. Ditulis dengan rapi dan sederhana dan berbahasa indonesia yang baku (ada bahasa gaul juga sih), pakai aku-kamu bukan gue-elo, dan nggak belepotan dicampur percakapan bahasa inggris. Ya, sayangnya di dua bab terakhir nggak tau kenapa penulisnya pilih mencampur percakapan berbahasa inggris, ada juga di bab berapa tiba-tiba sungjin ngomong inggris. Itu yang kumaksud dengan hampir sempurna. Mengabaikan itu, sejujurnya tema dan jalan cerita cukup bagus, nggak terburu-buru juga nggak bertele-tele. Penggambaran karakter juga oke. Aku suka karakter ibunya sungjin. Trus aku juga suka penulis memilih membatasi munculnya nama/karakter baru, cuma fokus ke newlywed sungbri aja. Lucunya karakter baru yang diceritakan itu cuma 'varian' dari sungbri, kayak mantannya brian (sungjin 'dibalik') dan istrinya sungjin (brian versi perempuan). Aku suka banget pas di akhir dopil muncul sebagai anak mereka. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

Keluarga Bapak Sungjin by akubukanyaa. 2024. Chaptered. Ongoing. Alternative Universe? Canon Divergence? Parents!sungbri; sons!dopil. Warning!mpreg. Yang ini juga gak sengaja nemu, ada yang qrt trus muncul di timeline, iseng aja baca. Kayaknya si penulis juga iseng aja nulis. Nggak ada proofread, nulis langsung post. Lucu banget ceritanya, mungkin karena dicampur bahasa daerah, trus tkp di jawa tengah kayaknya. Sejauh ini ada enam cerita kalau nggak salah. Bercerita tentang keluarga bapak sungjin. Cara nulisnya itu sederhana tapi berantakan tapi temanya lucu. Penggambaran karakternya juga lucu. Suka banget sama bayi/balita wonpil disini. Jadi keinget video wonpil baru bisa jalan masih plonga-plongo itu. (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) Nunggu kisah bayi/balita doun yang lempeng itu. Tiap kali baca ini, sambil cengar-cengir yang kupikirkan: kok bisa ya kepikiran nulis gitu. Aku suka penulis nyelipin bahan canon disini kayak kisah mancingnya doun trus brian gagal jadi idol tapi disuruh ngeband trus brian jadi dj radio, dan producer parksungjin! ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ ) Sejauh ini favoritku kisah ketemuan dan jadiannya sungbri. Aku tunggu ide kreatifmu yang super lucu itu, kak! ( • ᴗ - ) ✧

Disclosed Desires by bapaksungjinn. 2021. Mature. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Bercerita tentang Sungjin seorang pengacara yang sedang menyelidiki misteri kakaknya yang menjadi korban pembunuhan, bertemu dengan Brian yang seorang orang tua tunggal yang memiliki usaha sewa alat selam dan tur kapal di sebuah pulau. Konsep dan cara penulisan ceritanya bagus, hanya saja alurnya terlalu cepat jadi kesannya agak berantakan. Tapi itu tidak terlalu berpengaruh ke ceritanya yang memang bagus. Aku suka pilihan kata dan bahasa yang dipakai penulis, kayak baca novel terjemahan. Pas baca ini rasanya kayak nonton drama, padahal aku bukan fans drama. Cukup menghibur. Oia, ada doun sebagai anaknya brian, yaay!!

Gaze by bapaksungjinn. 2021. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Sungjin naksir Brian, mereka tidak saling kenal. Ini adalah cerita meet-cute, strangers to lovers dengan alur cepat. Ada adegan yang mirip mv lagu lama dari penyanyi wanita amerika yang terkenal itu. Ceritanya sederhana dan ditulis dengan bahasa yang bagus.

Chemistry by sungbricrumbs. 2020. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Bercerita tentang Sungjin sebagai tutor untuk Brian sebelum ujian. Gitu aja sih. Mereka cuma belajar bareng terus ciuman sedikit karena Brian banyak mau, terus sadar kalau mereka saling naksir. Oke, jadian deh! Cute. Ditulis dengan sangat rapi dan bahasa yang baik. Mungkin alurnya sedikit agak lambat, kesannya jadi agak membosankan. Tapi jujur keseluruhan ceritanya bagus kok. Brian babygirl sekali disini, Sungjin mana tahan. Aku nggak tahu apa rating yang kucantumkan untuk cerita ini sudah tepat. Soalnya mereka cuma ciuman aja sih, nggak lebih. Tapi deskripsinya agak detail. Jadi ya, gitu deh. (≖⩊≖)

Fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia di atas kubaca karena iseng. Biasanya aku nggak bisa baca fanfiction dengan seting lokal, tapi cerita di atas bisa aku masukkan ke pengecualianku. Mungkin ada yang mau merekomendasikan padaku fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia? Fanfiction ya, bukan au yang format screenshot-an chat wa gitu.

Terima kasih bagi kalian yang nyasar kesini dan membaca tulisan berantakan ini.. (*´▽`*)

Updated 25.06.08 Notes: Been a while. I've been on reader block mode for months. Every time I try to read one story, I close the tab after one or two first sentences bcus I lost the mood to read, idk why. So, here I am again after getting my reading mood back, updating this list. Some of them, I need to dive back to the past to find them, bcus they weren't posted on AO3. It's hard to find old fics if not there, I still count as new sungbri fic reader. I wish twitter writer post their fics on AO3 too. I mean it's easier for new reader to find old fics, and they don't need to censor the names. I mean why would they need to censor names in the first place I don't get it.

id say sungbri.
