——ships + fics——

@astroboy-lele: a best friends to lovers au with chenle, no doubt about it. furou is one of my closest friends on here and our conversations are almost always chaotic, but when they aren’t, they’re full of love and appreciation for each other because she deserves it! major chenle vibes, they’re both so adorable too. her humor is great, all the jokes we have together make me absolutely wheeze oml. i really don’t know what i would do without her kindness sometimes, when i want to give up at something she’s so quick to reassure me. furou, thanks for encouraging me and for always being such a strong source of happiness🥺also, i hope you never doubt your amazing talents because they are a gift to this world!! but enough with the super deep stuff because this is way too long, so the plot would go something like this: you met one day when you heard him practicing piano in the band room by himself. you’re both shy at first so it’s a blush fest when he notices you’ve been listening to him play the whole time, but one not-so-awkward introduction later, you realize you have some things in common and that you share a class or two. you come over for study sessions & work together on partner projects, conversations lighthearted and full of endless laughter. in addition, you also show your support for each other’s talents and dreams, with him attending your dance performances and clapping louder than anyone else in the audience, and you attending his recitals, heart swelling with more pride and appreciation than you thought was possible. any time that you spend together usually ends with you asleep on his chest while he taps away at a piano app on his phone because he knows it calms you down, humming softly by your ear. as the sunlight streams in from his window and illuminates your face, he takes one look at you and decides that you’ve become so much more than just a best friend to him after everything you’ve been through together in such a short time. but will he ever find the courage to tell you how he feels?

@danishmiilk: i can’t really explain it, but i just picture late nights walking through city streets in a strangers to lovers au with doyoung by your side. xing-yi has a lot of love to give to others and so much to offer the writing community, and also she’s somewhat of a social butterfly, at least i think so! it makes me so happy seeing her interact with her moots and she always looks out for others! i also imagine that she has a cute bunny smile but also maybe not HAHA anyway i just love xing-yi a lot. here’s the fic: doyoung, the one who always seems to know everything, is forced to ask for directions in a foreign city. shamefully standing on the sidewalk, he stops you mid-step with a small hand gesture, because even though he doesn’t know you at all, you look like you probably won’t walk away or dismiss his questions with a shrug. being as friendly and willing to help as you are, you oblige. with an embarrassed scratch to the back of his neck, he admits that he might forget the sequence of lefts and rights you had given him, but you’re unfazed and simply offer to walk him there yourself, since it isn’t terribly far anyway. doyoung, lightly flustered since he’s not quite sure how to thank you for your trouble and feeling bad for taking the time out of your day, fumbles with asking for your number. he’s cute, you think, and before you part you insist on showing him around the city some more before he leaves, glancing at the sheepish but smitten man over your shoulder with a smile as you turn to walk back home, leaving him eager to see you again.

@daybreakx: my first thought was a hogwarts au with kun! ale’s talent in writing is a beautiful hidden gem on this site, and she truly deserves so much more recognition for it. i’m so grateful for how kind she is and i want the best for her and her work always! also, the love letter network that she created to help more writers receive love, feedback, and appreciation from readers is such a generous and selfless thing to do, it shows that she has such a caring heart! all of these qualities make me think of kun, and i chose a hogwarts au because i think she just writes those especially well and hers are some of my favorites! so for the fic: the fates are definitely not on your side today, because all the friends you made on the train ride to the castle have been sorted into different houses than you, not to mention you have almost no classes with any of them. at the same time, you seem to have every class with this one boy, kun. he’s in hufflepuff, the same house as you, and because you’re always paired up as seatmates, you find yourself warming up to him throughout the year. conversations become easier during projects, you start to have study sessions in the common room when exams come around, and as first-year students, you both love experiencing all the new and exciting things that the school and the magical world has to offer together. now, you couldn’t be happier that you were sorted into hufflepuff, because otherwise you might not have become friends (and maybe more..) with him!

@donkey-hyuck: vy is way more hilarious and talented than others give her credit for, and not to mention the way everyone adores her for always being so loving and showering them with her affection and support😭i’m thinking of a sci-fi au with jeno! she’s just so hardworking with her writing and on her collabs, & i think she’s strong-willed because she always pursues her goals no matter what! she has such a bright personality and also, like jeno’s her smile is just the CUTEST thing ever!!!! i will never be over it istg🥺fic: in a world full of new technology and controlled by a government unwilling to remember the past and all its traditions, a band of rebels come together and take it upon themselves to go back in time and discover what their reality used to look like long ago. one fateful day on their quest to uncover the mystery of the past, they stumble upon you, unaware of their cause but eager to join them. you take after one of the boys particularly well, lee jeno. though he’s assigned the role of warrior, he’s well-rounded and could easily succeed at any task the group may need him to complete. extremely passionate about the group’s goal, the two of you share a dedication that only brings you closer with time, working together and just being complete badasses. when you aren’t navigating through streets full of neon signs and angular buildings, you fall into the rhythm of a relationship. though you may not know much about each other’s pasts yet, one thing’s for sure: you can definitely see a future with one another.

@fairvtale: a soulmate au with jisung! i mean, keia is just the peak of cuteness, love, positivity, and everything sweet and nice!! how could i not ship her with the adorable park jisung himself😭she’s so full of compassion for everyone she meets and is so loved and appreciated for not only her great personality but also her talents! now, in this soulmate universe, you and your soulmate share the same preferences! so when you hear someone standing in line ahead of you at the ice cream shop order your favorite flavor, your heart skips a beat. of course, it’s not the first time it’s happened, but something feels different today. when you see who the voice belongs to, you just know that the tall but also shy boy is meant for you, and being brave, you approach the small two-person table he sits down at, making small talk until you both realize that you have a little too much in common for it to be a coincidence... :D <3

@ferie-anon: i’m picturing a bookstore au with shopkeeper!taeil, you just give off really insightful but also curious vibes!! both you and taeil make me think of wisdom(especially with your astrology knowledge! it amazes me so much omg), and also, you both have hearts of gold🥺💝fic: a new book shop opens up in your town, and eager to find a new story to dive into, you enter one day to find taeil behind the counter with a smile on his face that’s so bright you don’t even notice his smaller but adorable stature. he guides you, his first customer, through the rows of books to find one that interests you. since the store has multiple copies, he finds himself reading the same ones that you buy not only to enjoy them for himself, but also because it allows him to discuss them with you when you come in the next time, eager to hear each other’s thoughts and knowledge. your equal love for learning and discovery makes you a perfect match!

@flirtyhyuck: kitty is a literal ray of sunshine into my life, so who else would i ship him with than haechan? (i know i once said jaemin but shh) he is so encouraging, always makes me smile and my heart burst, i’m really thankful for all the times he checks in on me and i just feel very loved talking to him. he deserves all the love in the world, really and truly. for the au, maybe a strangers to lovers with barista!haechan! your favorite cafe has a new worker that’s attracting all the attention lately. haechan makes the funniest jokes and comments at the register, and everyone asks for him to ring them up just so they can laugh at his sarcasm. but he’s also so attentive to each and every customer, making sure the order is nothing short of perfect and exactly what they wanted. you always sit at one of the bar-style seats as you enjoy your favorite drink, legs dangling from the elevated chair as you watch him bustle about behind the cashier station and among the machines & supplies. one day it’s closing time, he’s cleaning up for the night but he lets you stay a few more minutes, something he wouldn’t do for anyone else. leaning over the marble countertop that your cup rests on, he swipes a fingertip through the whipped cream on top of your drink and lightly taps your nose with it, making you giggle endearingly at the ticklish sensation and giving him the courage to ask you out. with a smile, you agree. ‘sure, but let’s go somewhere other than a coffee shop, please.’

@fruityutas: emily (pt 1 HAHA) seriously cracks me up SO MUCH, not to mention she has one the best laughs i’ve heard and it’s super lovable haha. i don’t know what else to call it but i’d give her a wedding date(?) au with hendery! even when i didn’t know her very well and we had just recently met she was super friendly and inviting. for some reason i feel like hendery would also play the sims lol, anyway! onto the fic: when given the opportunity to bring a ‘plus one’ to a friend’s special day, your other friend hendery swoops in with an arm around your shoulder as you reread the invitation out loud, wondering who to ask. not so subtly, he offers to accompany you, and not wanting to be the only one without a guest, you agree to his proposal (no pun intended). dressed in your best formalwear and with stiffly linked arms, you navigate through the ceremony, only loosening up a bit at the reception. hendery is determined to make you smile with his exaggerated dancing, twirling you and making you more than glad you brought him along. you do get a few comments from other guests on what a ‘cute couple’ you are, leading you both to exchange glances before bursting into laughter. it starts to become less and less implausible, though. you catch hendery’s eye right after you find the bride’s flower bouquet in your grasp, suddenly realizing there could be more between you than you realized...

@jenojam: i was totally not influenced by your preschool series at all haha, but a preschool au with teacher!kun comes to mind! vina is always there for me, she’s so caring and attentive to everything i tell her!! i get mom friend vibes i guess, she’s just so sweet and i feel super loved and cared for whenever we interact, i’m really grateful for her endless support🥺for the fic, kun is a coworker of yours at the preschool you teach at. you both have such a strong passion for teaching and it helps you bond, leading to many days spent side-by-side, fondly watching your students play with their friends at recess or do activities and play games in class. even the small children in your class can see how much wider you smile when you’re in the same room. with the sweetest and most innocent of intentions, shenanigans ensue of your well-meaning but slightly mischievous students trying to get kun to confess to you, whether it be by writing a message in sidewalk chalk or making a bracelet out of craft beads for him to give you.

@jisungsmochi: hm, i’m thinking...a high school/college au with theatre kid!xiaojun🥺i ship nat with xiaojun because she’s just the sweetest, she has a hidden chaotic side (imo lol) and just a great sense of humor as well! she’s so fun to talk to and you can’t help but love her🥺picture this: you’re both in english class together, and one day there’s a mix-up. he accidentally grabs your essay and you end up with his script for the school musical. you have no choice but to go to one of his rehearsals to swap them back, but as you’re standing in the doorway, you’re captivated by his performance! little do you know, he’s absolutely in awe of your writing, even in a simple literature paper. your admiration for each other’s talents leads to you sitting in the back of the theater doing your homework every day after school, listening to his voice ring out across the large room, and he gets a confidence boost knowing you’re there watching him act, dance, and sing. he always winks at you from onstage and you’re beyond starstruck every time, your english paper quickly becoming forgotten as soon as he meets your eyes with a charming smile.

@lebrookestore: well, a royal au with prince!/childhood friend!taeyong comes to mind. brooke is a lot like taeyong because she’s so considerate and generous but also can be very professional and calm when she needs to be! (i think i told you already but you have this ~duality~ in a way, like ty haha.) so..you both grow up in the castle, scampering away from the staff in the large hallways and just enjoying the excitement of life. one day when you’re a bit older, you come across a stranger in the forest as you’re exploring. they turn out to be from the next kingdom over, but something about them is familiar: you’re sure you’ve seen a ‘wanted’ poster with their face plastered on it. you manage to warn taeyong in his ear before you hear the stranger’s footsteps speed up, and you both start sprinting as fast as possible. quickly working together since you know each other so well, you devise a plan to get them caught in a tangle of vines you remember seeing on your way into the forest, so you can bring back reinforcements to arrest the dangerous criminal. it works, but instead of turning to give taeyong a high five in celebration, he’s already in front of you and thanking you for your quick thinking with a hug, suddenly realizing that how much he loves you after seeing your brave and clever side emerge, just two of the many traits that made you win his heart.

@navyhyuck: vee’s name has basically become synonymous with happiness at this point, hearing from her in my inbox/messages or seeing a post/work of hers on my dash is so comforting and makes me smile more than she knows. since she’s the epitome of sweetness, i’ll say a bakery au with jaemin! i really appreciate knowing someone like her, and the encouragement she gives me is so heartwarming🥺the way she sends asks in the mornings makes me feel so ridiculously loved and at ease, her presence in itself is a gift to this site. tumblr really doesn’t deserve her!! i’m so happy that we’ve grown close and i don’t know what i would do without her and her kindness in my life. fic: you sign up for a baking class at a quaint, local pastry shop to learn how to make desserts and treats, since baking was a hobby you had enjoyed as a child with your family and now you hoped to learn how to do it on your own. little did you know that your instructor would be even more saccharine than the sugary treats you were making. his flirtatious nature leads to many mishaps in the kitchen as you get distracted while trying to follow along with the simple directions, instead making a mess of the icing and sprinkles and nearly confusing the measurements of ingredients. he finds it adorable, though, and towards the end of the session he sneaks a bite of one of the french macarons you put together, a bright smile lighting up his features as he compliments you on it. he teases you by reminding you to pay more attention next time, and with a comeback so quick that even you’re surprised, you take him up on that offer, implying that you’d be back for another class soon. “good. we’re making crème brûlée next week,” he informs with a wink as you both part ways. boy, was he sweeter than sugar.

@orange-nimon-cross: yunha deserves someone who knows the true her and has always been by her side, so i’d say a neighbor/boy next door au with winwin/sicheng. her personality is unique and complex like sicheng’s, and like him i also admire her for lots of reasons, such as her honesty and the pride she takes in writing as well as her passion for it in general. she’s very sweet, so supportive whenever i need it, and deserves so much more recognition for her beautiful work!!💕fic: your neighborhood holds a classic and oh-so-cliche summer block party every year, the smell of smoke and sounds of laughter moving through the air and into your open window. when a bad day gets you down and you hesitate to join in the festivities, sicheng is the only one who can get through to you, not forcing you to talk about anything and just sitting beside you on your bed in silence, which seems to be the most comforting thing anyone can do at the moment. when you tell him you’re ready(which he asks you to confirm many times, because that’s just how much he cares about you and wants you to be fully comfortable and okay), he takes your hand and leads you outside and onto the burning asphalt of the street with other friends and families, the blissful feeling of summer putting you at ease and the gentle evening breeze carrying away your cares with it. and like a springtime flower, although one season late, your relationship begins to blossom into one full of even more love and consideration for each other than it was before.

@radiorenjun: a doctor au with renjun! angie is slightly (okay, very) chaotic but also very lovable!! i don’t know if she’s an aries but she gives off serious aries energy. she’s confident and optimistic and really approachable! i’m so happy she reached out to me one day and we became friends from there🥺in the fic, renjun is a resident at your hospital studying under you and learning the ropes of being a doctor. when you first met each other, you actually mistook him for a coworker with how professional he seemed, but the confusion made a small, adorable blush rise to his cheeks. shy and timid at first, he takes notes and helps you do your job without complaint. when you offer part of your routine to him, he gratefully accepts and does the task perfectly, growing more comfortable in his position and relationship with you as he receives more opportunities to show his skill. sharing stories and experiences from medical school on your lunch breaks and smiling when you finish each other’s sentences about patients and their prescribed care, you realize that you’ve fallen for the soon-to-be doctor, and that no stethoscope could possibly measure the beating of your heart around him.

@rouiyan: so you know how you said you were excited for my wip that’s a strangers to lovers au with animal shelter worker!jeno? that’s what this is(loosely anyway)!!🥺ree reminds me of jeno in the fact that she’s such a sweetheart in every interaction with anyone, it feels like you’ve been her friend for ages! and then you look at her writing that’s just so damn good and sophisticated and i’m always so amazed with everything she puts out, just like how jeno’s talents amaze me as well! now for the fic: your beloved dog runs off in the park, but luckily a boy walking nearby lunges for the leash as it drags behind the animal. you thank him repeatedly, and he explains that the little puppy might have tried to leave your grasp only because she wants to make a new friend. the park is full of other dogs, after all. he mentions that he works at the shelter nearby and suggests that maybe you should adopt a second one to keep her company. not seeing any reason why you shouldn’t, you meet him the next day and spend time together picking out a new puppy. many more days are spent giving the fluffy little animals lots of pets and scratches behind the ears, and playing with them. you’re not sure what’s cuter: the dogs, or jeno’s eye smile.

@ru-lin: (the fic was kinda inspired by what you told me about your job in our messages the other day hehe) i’d say a christmas au with mark! ruth is so considerate and a pleasure to talk to, we actually have a lot in common! she’s very warm and caring and always looking out for others. i can tell she really values her friends and they’re so lucky to have her, she’s just so sweet all around! talking to her makes my day a lot brighter whenever we interact🥺fic: during the holidays you always work at a christmas market, helping customers pick out pretty much anything they could ever want that’s associated with the chilly month and all its festivities. when a shy boy that’s adorably awkward and clumsy stumbles into the shopping area, you bite back a small laugh at his endearing hesitation to ask for assistance. speaking up first, you ask if there’s anything he needs and he explains that he’s looking for the perfect tree. with a knowing smile, you lead him down the rows of tall pines and firs and any kind of christmas tree you could possibly imagine. when his eyes land on one that he likes, his eyes light up with excitement, and you help him load it into his car. as mark is halfway home he curses, realizing he forgot to pick up a wreath as well. he knows it’ll earn him a playful scolding from his group of friends, but if it means another chance to return to the market and see you, it’s worth it.

@rvse-hvvck: i feel like i ship so many people with jaemin but it’s just because they’re so especially full of kindness and love for others, and ana is no exception! i’d give her a matchmaker au with jaemin! ana is so incredibly selfless and her heart is so compassionate, it’s crazy. i really look up to her in a lot of ways! the first impression she made on me was already a great one because i saw so many writers receiving her beautiful love letters, and from that moment alone i could already tell how much she strives to be kind and generous in everything she says and does. i hope she knows how much everyone truly adores her and is grateful for her, because she really makes the world a better and brighter place. (if you’ve seen the movie clueless i guess this fic is sorta similar!) so, you’re the resident expert on relationships among your school community, always trying to pair up people with similar interests or that have a lot of chemistry together. it brings you joy because you love seeing your friends laughing and smiling with their partners, but you feel a twinge of sadness at the same time. when jaemin, the boy you’ve liked for a while, comes to you for advice, you push down your feelings for him and send him on dates with anyone you can think of. the whole time though, he’s only had his eyes on you. he has always admired your altruism and your dedication to making others happy. it hurts him to see that you’re not even giving yourself a chance, so with a simple but heartfelt confession in the school parking lot at sunset, he helps you realize that you deserve a love like you’ve helped so many others find.

@sly-merlin: talking to simmi is always something very healing (like yuta’s smile hehe) so i’d definitely give her a secret agent/spy au with partner!yuta! she is so friendly to anyone and everyone, she gives off this warm and loving vibe like that of an old friend🥺she’s also extremely dedicated to her studies and works so hard. everyone adores her, and seeing her talk about things that make her happy is just the cutest thing ever! simmi, you truly have everyone’s heart!! now for the fic: you and yuta are both spies, partnered up for a very important and serious mission. only problem is, he’s never been the serious type. he teases you for being so uptight, but you genuinely don’t know any other way to approach a mission. along the way though, he manages to teach you how to have a little fun with your job, even if it means lots of close calls and sticky situations that force you both to begrudgingly (well, you more so than him) pretend you’re an oblivious couple in order to escape suspicious eyes. eventually, you find yourself becoming less and less unwilling to throw a casual arm around his shoulder, even when you aren’t at risk of being caught on your mission. maybe he isn’t so bad after all... :)

@suhpressed: a strangers to lovers au with theatre usher!johnny. so you know how johnny’s like an older brother to mark? i get major comforting and warm big sis vibes from elaida!! i would ship her with johnny because they’re both such selfless and caring people! she’s not afraid to speak her mind, and she always looks out for others with kindness and encouragement! as for the fic: you’re finally attending a broadway show you’ve been dying to see since, well, forever. this really cute usher helps you find your seat, but in a rare stroke of clumsiness, he bumps someone with a glass of wine in their hand that ends up staining your blouse a dark red. like the gentleman johnny (you can see it on his nametag) is, he promises to buy you a new one, and writes his phone number on the show’s program. you enjoy the musical, but the digits scribbled down next to the performers’ names prove to be more distracting than you anticipated. throughout the show you’re really jittery, excited to get back home so you can text him. in addition to replacing your ruined shirt, he also invites you out for coffee over the phone, you agree, and you both hit it off. the rest is history! the way that you met becomes a favorite story among your friends and families, & they never miss a chance to tease you two about spilling drinks.

@tyongxnct: elida, where do i begin🥺right away, i think of an idol au with taeyong. she is just so caring and supportive, she likes or comments on my posts and can make me smile with just a few words!! i remember one time that she said she was lucky to have me as a moot and it really warmed my heart, i’m so so lucky to have her too! i can tell she’s passionate about writing and that it brings her so much joy! i wish her only the best in life always <3 in the fic: during a tour, nct 127 stops in your country for a few nights of concerts, and in the midst of the excitement on the way back from the venue, taeyong gets separated from the rest. in an unfamiliar environment, he begins to panic as he remembers that he left his phone on the tour bus and has no way to contact his manager or fellow members. you, while familiar with and respectful of the group but not an avid follower of their music, catch sight of the lost and more than frazzled man as he frantically paces along the sidewalk, trying to recall his surroundings when he exited the bus hours ago. had it not been for your observant gaze, you may have missed the small group logo on his white shirt, letting you know who he was. determined to ease his obvious nerves by helping him find his way back, you lend a hand by approaching him and asking what he remembers. despite only being given a few details, you know the area he describes, quickly leading him there and reuniting him with the rest of the group. more than grateful, he offers you a ticket to the last show there, and hopes that it won’t be the last time he sees you.

@yo-ddream: a childhood best friends to lovers au with jungwoo! emily (pt 2/granny okay sorry i’m done) also feels like somewhat of an older sister to me, she gives great advice and always seems to have a story to tell from her working adventures lol. she’s very witty and extremely kind!! i guess i get jungwoo vibes because at first she seems quiet, but once you get to know her and she opens up a bit you see her fun personality and humor shine through when you talk to her :) she’s also honest about what she thinks and doesn’t sugarcoat it, something that’s very much needed in a person! okay, onto the fic: you and jungwoo grew up in the same neighborhood, going to the same school, getting your first part-time jobs at same store a few blocks down from your street. your lives have been intertwined from the start, but when a family matter pops up, it threatens his place by your side in almost everything you do and puts your friendship and undisclosed feelings for each other at risk. both working up the courage to confess as time ticks down and it gets closer to the day he’s meant to move away, you spend every moment with each other enjoying life’s little moments, the simple things like watching the sunset on a park bench or taking a walk down the sidewalk of the town shopping center. in an extremely convenient stroke of luck, he gets word that things have been sorted out, and the move is off. in both of your delight at the news, you feel like nothing can stop you. you blurt out the same three words at the same time before launching your arms around one another. if it’s you and jungwoo against the world, so be it, because not even the universe had the heart to separate the bond between you.

@zzzzzcakes: zel🥺she’s always been super supportive of me and my work, i’m happy she left feedback on a fic of mine because i might not have reached out to express my gratitude for her words and gotten to know her otherwise! she’s very kind and positive, and seeing her posts and reblogs make me laugh all the time :D i’d say a grocery store au with sungchan. (hear me out i know you must be going ‘huh?’ but trust me on this one! in that recent post you made you said something about shopping carts, and it made me think...see where this is going? haha ANYWAY!) so sungchan is the newest employee at the supermarket where you work. he’s the go-to person to call when someone can’t reach an item on one of the highest shelves, earning bewildered stares from customers and coworkers alike. he always has a joke up his sleeve or a clever remark to make about the many challenges of working in retail. you take a liking to him for how down-to-earth he is and despite all the occasional sarcasm coming from him when you’re both in the break room, he’s very helpful whenever he’s needed. he also admires how focused you are on the job, ringing up endless items and bagging groceries until your hands hurt. whenever he strides down an aisle near the register you’re working at that day, he doesn’t hesitate to send a wave and an endearing grin your way. it’s the moments like that with him that get you through your shift and keep you going. it’s no surprise when you reveal to the rest of the staff that you’re dating. of course, the perks of being employees mean that you can spend many late nights racing each other in shopping carts at the back of the store near closing time and other mischievous activities of the sort, laughing when your manager scolds you over the loudspeaker system without a care in the world.

——ships——

@badwithten: zoe is someone full of both humor and heart, a combination that immediately reminds me of lucas, so i’d 100% ship her with him! she’s given me really good advice and encouragement to stay true to myself, something i can also see lucas doing, and i’m very grateful for her wise words :) and like i said, her heart is full of love and she’s so kind to everyone!

@bucchinct: i’m not sure if we’ve ever interacted, but i always see your posts on my dash and you reblog so many artistic and pretty things/pictures, which makes me think of jaemin and his hobby of photography! so i would ship you with him ^_^

@du0tine: i’d ship solange with ten, for a number of reasons! one, the fact that she mountain climbs for a living and is so dedicated to/passionate about it is something extremely admirable and amazing, so she comes across as very brave and adventurous! also, she’s not afraid to tell others her opinions and that honesty is really refreshing to see! and her blog themes are super artistic which reminds me of ten as well. she just seems like a great person in general and i hope to get to know her more!

@ethaeriyeol: i haven’t really talked to bea much, but i know she is good friends with a few of my other moots so i think that says something about the kind of person she is! i would ship her with jaehyun, she seems really professional (and lowkey intimidating but you didn’t hear it from me) but also very sweet and welcoming and i imagine they both have the cutest smiles, with or without dimples, hehe.

@euphoricdreamies: i’d ship maddy with chenle! she has such a great sense of humor and it’s so much fun to read about her oc’s, i love keeping up with the plots! i’ve followed her for a while but we just recently started talking, she’s very friendly🥺maddy’s just been nothing but nice to me, and i feel like she has a sarcastic and witty side. also, she deserves so much more recognition for her talent and i think everyone deserves to read her amazing work!

@felixn-recs: it’s been a while since i talked to you, but i’m really thankful that you left some of the first feedback i ever received on my writing! i know for a fact that authors really appreciate you and the kind feedback/support that you show their works. this eagerness to show writers your encouragement and praise makes me think of mark for sure, so i would ship you with him!

@fullsuhnny: angelina seems like the type to be somewhat reserved, but still very generous and selfless towards others, reminding me of kun! when she interacts with people she’s humble and sweet, and i enjoy seeing her reblogs pop up on my dash. i think she’s a wonderful friend to everyone and i hope to become closer with her in the future! also, her blog theme is so cool and aesthetic hehe :D

@gowonhatesyou: renjun all the way, krystal always makes me and others laugh so much with her humor and her entertaining personality. but at the same time, while she can be chaotic and sarcastic, she’s also extremely loving and sociable. i can tell she cares a lot about those around her and wants only the best for them! i really value her friendship🥺

@heartyyjeno: i’d ship alesha with jaemin, she’s so much like him to me. first of all, because she would do anything to make her friends smile or brighten their day! she has a warm personality that makes others feel very loved. she’s also very determined and perseverant, because when things get tough she doesn’t give up and continues to pursue her dreams and do what she loves, even when it may be difficult. i’m positive that everyone she knows appreciates having her and her endless kindness in their life! <3

@injunified: nathalie is really sweet and generous, and i’m really happy that she’s started posting more of her works recently, they definitely deserve all the recognition that they’re getting and more!! i don’t know her super well but she’s a great friend to have, so I’d ship her with winwin/sicheng! i hope she can continue writing because she definitely has a lot of talent for it🥺

@jaeminscoffee: lyra is very warm, friendly, and she was eager to get to know me when we first met, so i would ship her with johnny! i really enjoy talking to her, and she’s also very down-to-earth! she never hesitates to show her appreciation for her friends and followers, and i really look up to her for it🥺

@lovelygalaxy333: lilly is so so lovable and sweet, i would definitely ship her with shotaro! my heart literally threatens to explode whenever i talk to her, and she reblogs the cutest, kindest things! like shotaro, i just wanna protect her because she’s such a special soul and also very positive! even if she just sends a simple ‘hello’ in my inbox from time to time, it puts the biggest smile on my face and i’m so grateful for her!

@meraki-mark: li is very humble and friendly, so i would ship her with xiaojun! she also seems somewhat quiet and calm to me, i was almost intimidated when we first interacted haha. something i admire about her is that i believe she’s the kind of person to truly be dedicated to writing what she wants and not just for the sake of notes! that kind of commitment is really nice to see :)

@minyusa: whenever i see miku on my dash, she always seems to be showing her support for a work or conversing with a friend. she’s there to lend some encouragement and sweet words to those that need it! her good-nature and pure thoughtfulness reminds me of jeno. she’s so nice to talk to and deserves love, no questions asked! you’re a very genuine and warm-hearted person, so i’d ship you with him~ （＾ν＾）

@moonlightjeno: we don’t know each other very well but just from looking at luna’s writing, i think the types of fics and aus she writes are very diverse and unique! her well-rounded work makes me think of haechan, so i’ll ship her with him! i believe we have some of the same moots so she seems very kind and social as well!

@neonun-au: okay, maybe it’s because ‘multitudes’ has been on my mind ever since i read it but my first thought was to ship mads with taeil! her writing is so elegant and beautiful, i’m so glad her work gets all the recognition that it does! as silly as it sounds for me to say, even her sh*tposts seem sophisticated for some reason hahaha. she’s just so sweet, talented and always so gracious!

@peachjaem00: lou comes across as very laidback and charming, two things that remind me of yangyang! she’s a pleasure to interact with, and i feel like she has a lot of friends, i mean, who wouldn’t want someone like her in their life? she’s such a supportive and inviting person by nature, and i can tell she works hard and puts so much effort into her writing because it’s so good!!

@prettyjaems: i believe i said it once before so pardon the repetition, but whenever i interact with mona i feel loved and cared for like nobody’s business😭which immediately makes jaemin come to mind. she doesn’t hesitate to show kindness to anyone and everyone, but also has a quiet and focused side at times, and i think as a person, she has so many great qualities that balance out and make up her considerate personality! she’s also really motivated and organized with her writing, i hope to learn a thing or two from those work habits of hers :)

@rueyins: one fateful day when i was craving some good old interaction, rue reached out to me just to say hello and ask how i was doing, something that makes me think of taeyong! i really love how caring she is towards everyone she knows, and also her music taste is great, which also makes me think of taeyong, haha🥺the way she looks out for others is such a special quality to have, i’m so glad we’ve become friends!!

@vitamarkie: i would ship kay with mark! i see her interact with her moots a lot, and she just seems very loved all around by everyone that knows her! also, she writes the softest, prettiest, fluffiest stories, and for some reason i think of the fact that mark once said he wanted be an author when he grew up. her skills are seriously amazing and, just like i admire mark for his talent, i admire kay a lot for hers!

@whathamelon: hmm you have a good sense of humor and also seem very friendly because we have some of the same moots! you’re also not shy about showing appreciation to your favorite fics and authors, so i would ship you with johnny!

@yunwoo: i feel like anna is on the soft-spoken, quieter side but still very very sweet, so i would ship her with jisung! she’s really lovable and so comforting to talk to, even though we don’t know each other too well yet. just from her blog she seems so adorable and i want to hug her and talk to her more🥺also her aesthetic is the softest thing EVER i love it so much!!😭

when you arrive at your new school to pursue you degree in [whatever you wish to do in college], you honestly expected things to be as normal and boring as high school. by that, you meant that you would only have a few friends, be known as the smart and quiet girl, or the weird girl for that matter, and just chug along with whatever life threw at you.

furthermore, as much as you wanted to find love in this new chapter of life, you had also given up. you always had bad luck with it. your first boyfriend was in sixth grade, but of course, that was a long time ago and you and him were extremely long. many would hardly call it love. your second boyfriend came along when you were in eighth grade. you and him dated for a few months, and many talked about you, but then he moved on with another. and your third and last relationship involved a boy that you never thought you would have ended up with. he was the captain of the school’s soccer team. you were lucky to have caught his eyes because he was popular and you weren’t. you and him lasted almost a whole year. when you and him started your senior and final year of high school, you caught him cheating on you with a junior. and that’s when you realized that you just weren’t supposed to find love.

as sad as you were, you, in a sad kinda way, accepted it. so you didn’t pursue it. however that didn’t stop you from shopping.

when you started college, you did notice the abundance of rather good looking college boys. they all smiled brightly and laughed like their friends were either the funniest of comedians or stupidest of idiots. either way, it lightened the atmosphere of the hallways.

you always looked at them, whatever it was a habit or you were desperate. you hated to think of yourself as desperate, despised it even. but, it wasn’t necessarily wrong.

as you were walking to your first class of the day, glancing at every guy that passed you in the hallway, one in particular caught your eyes. you felt drawn to him immediately, and a weird magnetic pull guided you to him.

this guy was young, obviously. he looked new too. he seemed slightly confused as he turned around in semi circles, as if he was looking for something, or someone.

but it was the way his clear, tan colored skin seemed to glow, especially so when he walked into the beam of the sun that shone through a large window. he radiated heat and warmth, and seemed to sparkle. when his eyes met yours, you were sure that your heart stopped.

your breath hitched in your throat, your cheeks burned with such intensity, you were sure that even though this hot stranger was across the hallway, he could feel it. you glanced around, trying to play it off. anxiously, you rubbed the back of your neck and adjusted the straps of your backpack. you prayed that you had looked away in time, so that he wouldn’t notice that you had been practically staring at him.

much to your surprise, however when you had looked back in his direction, he was making his way over to you. he had long legs so he easily crossed the hallway in a matter of seconds.

the man flashed a warm, shy smile at you. “hey.” he greeted.

you smiled back, feeling a little relieved. he seemed nice at least.

“i’m jung hoseok.” he spoke, holding his hand out.

you glanced at it before hesitantly grasping it, giving it a light shake. you were shocked to find just how soft his skin was. and it was as warm as his smile.

hoseok let go first. “i’m new here.” he explained. “i’m actually lost.”

“which class were you looking for? maybe i can help.”

he immediately grinned. your insides, in response, immediately felt warm and tingly. you were already falling for this man. “i think it’s a math class. with mr.-“ he paused, thinking.

your eyes widened.

“mr. bang, or bong, or byun…”

“mr. bin?” you suggested.

the corners of your mouth immediately started to tug upward. you tried not to smile too much as you watched hoseok’s eyes lighten. he gasped and pointed at you. “yeah.” his cheeks mimicked the shade of red from a shirt a student nearby was wearing.

you blushed too. “i have that class too. we can go together.” you offered.

he nodded. “thank you.” he seemed relieved.

you turned and headed in the direction of mr. bin’s classroom, hoseok trailing along behind you. “so,” he began, “are you new here too?”

you nodded. “it’s my first year.”

“that’s reassuring.”

“it’s nerve-wracking, isn’t it?”

“it is.” he agreed, a nervous laugh escaping his pretty, thin lips.

your heart beat against your rib cage, almost pounding in your ears. something felt different with him, something odd. you had never felt this way around all the other guys and guy friends. sure, you were nervous sometimes and shy, but there was an unexplainable aura around this particular boy. jung hoseok seemed completely normal, like all the other college boys, and yet, you felt a pull to him.

you guided your new acquaintance to the class, laughing to something he said as you walked inside. you looked at the large board in the front of the classroom. the teacher, mr. bin, was sitting at a desk near the front, typing on his laptop. scribbled on the board were the words: “welcome, students! sit anywhere in the room.”

you met hoseok’s eyes before shrugging your shoulders. “where do you want to sit?”

he looked around. “how about by the window?”

you agreed with him and followed him over there. you slid into the seat next to him and began pulling out all your things. “i have a question.” you said to him, opening a notebook.

“hm?”

“are you, by chance, good at math?”

he shrugged, his head moving back and forth as he thought long and hard. “i mean, kinda.”

you dramatically sighed with relief. “thank god.” you said. “i’m terrible at math.”

hoseok chuckled. “then i’ll do my best to help you.”

——

[two weeks later]

you sighed tiredly. you had stayed up majority of the night trying to study for your math test. math was already your least favorite subject, not to mention you also weren’t very good at it. math was hard for you. you struggled with it a lot. and it probably didn’t help that you were a bit of a procrastinator, only for this class that it. you were thriving in all your other classes.

you walk into the classroom, rubbing your eyes with your fingers, trying to rub the sleep out of them. the question “what were you thinking?” bounced around your brain, like those logos for computers and tvs when they’re left idle.

hoseok looked up when he felt your presence as soon as you entered the classroom. he recognized the sound of your sigh, as well as your footsteps. he noticed the slight bags under your eyes. he grew worried.

as soon as you walked behind him, finding your desk to his left, he reached up to grab your hand. “are you okay?”

you nodded, leaning over from your seat to rest your head on his shoulder. “i stayed up all night studying.”

“i could have helped you. i said i would.” he recalled the first day.

you pouted. “i know. it’s just the fact that i decided to study last minute.” you sighed again. “catch me failing this class.”

hoseok shook his head. he wasn’t worried in the slightest, he was only worried about you. you looked dead, and he didn’t like that. with his hand still holding yours, he gently squeezed it. you were barely phased when you felt a bit of warmth come from his hand. what felt a bit odd was how that very same warmth seemed to carry through your veins and towards your chest. you hardly felt it, but when the warmth reached your heart, you felt more energized, your eyelids no longer felt heavy. you lifted your head up, confused, and looked at your friend.

he had busied himself with his notebook, turning the pages with his free hand and looking at his notes. when he met your eyes, he seemed as confused as you. “what?”

you shook your head. “n-nothing.”

----

for the next few hours, you couldn’t stop thinking about hoseok. for the past two weeks, things had been changing. you always felt so warm around him and happy. he made you happy. hoseok made you feel comfortable.

while you had gotten used to it, you still couldn’t explain why you hated being apart from you. sure, you had a crush on him, but there was something about being away from him. it felt like their was an invisible string or a physical wave that tugged on you. and every time it tugged or pushed you, hoseok flashed in your mind. you were often cold when you weren’t around him, and you felt incomplete. you couldn’t understand why you felt this way. it was all strange and new.

suddenly, you felt a burst of warmth and happiness, and suddenly a pair of hands covered your eyes. “guess who?”

you grinned. “hm. i don’t have a clue.”

hoseok laughed and pulled away. it was bright around you again. you turned to see hoseok pulling the chair next to you out. he plopped down, practically tossing his backpack onto the ground. what was he excited about?

“what?” you asked, a nervous laugh leaving your lips.

there you were, feeling complete, whole, warm, happy, only around him you felt this way. this particular way.

your best friend was staring at you as if you were the sun, the most beautiful thing ever to exist. you blushed very deeply, feeling butterflies in your stomach. “hoseok.” you whined.

“i’m sorry.” he laughed too, then looked away.

“have you come here to bother me or to brag about your 100%?” you questioned him, a teasing tone in your voice.

“ah, don’t be so upset about it. i’ll help you study and then maybe mr. bin will let you retake the test.”

you poked your chin up. “i’ve come to accept my 71%. it’s a lot better than i expected.”

“alright, fine.” he said, leaning back in his chair, pushing away from the table. “anyway, what i really came here for was to ask if you wanted to go on a date?”

you almost choked on your own spit. your eyes widened, and you felt your muscles tense. “like,” you began, swallowing the nervous lump in your throat, “a friendly date?” you slowly turned around to look at him.

a look of pain flashed in hoseok’s eyes, but too quick for you to have seen. he put on a smile. “yeah, what else would it be?”

now it was your turn to feel hurt. there couldn’t possibly be a chance that he liked you as much as you liked him, the way you liked him. “oh, but, i would love to go on a friendly date.”

“great. after your next class?” he asked. hoseok didn’t have anymore classes for the day.”

you nodded.

“good, i’ll wait until then.” then he stood up, swung his bag over his shoulder and waved you goodbye. you returned a smile, but felt a small pang in your heart, a small crack. you were in love with him, and it seemed that he didn’t love you back.

----

you didn’t even have time to take a breath after your class ended. hoseok was already at your side, scaring you. of course, he found that amusing.

“jung hoseok!”

he grinned. “sorry.” he finished laughing. “are you ready?”

you nodded. “but where are we going?”

he held out his arm, to which you took, as if he was escorting you to a royal dance. “it’s a surprise.”

you rolled your eyes. “you’re always full of surprises.”

he laughed fondly, “you always say that.”

what? confused, you quirked an eyebrow up. you were pretty sure you’ve never said that to him before. what did he mean?

hoseok noticed your suddenly silence, and felt you slowing down. he looked at you. “nevermind.” he hurriedly replied.

“okay.” you hesitantly continued.

as you followed him to his car, you thought to yourself. you hardly knew anything about hoseok. he got distant or avoided any questions you asked about, whether it was regarding his past or family. his answers were often vague like, “they’re...around.”

he already knew a lot about him, and you hardly knew anything about him.

the drive was quite long, but it was beautiful. hoseok drove on a road with a bunch of trees on either side, flashes of sun shone through the leaves. it was a beautiful trip. but what was shocking was when he pulled up to a trail.

hoseok helped you out of the car, gently holding your hand. you were excited for what the purpose of this date was, or what he was surprising you with. of course, it was hard to guess because of the surroundings.

after locking his car, hoseok did not let go of your hand, not that you were bothered by it. you couldn’t help but wonder, what did hoseok feel when he was with you? he was often giving mixed signals. but most of the time, they were friendly signals, or platonic signals. it was hard to tell where he was at with you. and you were growing impatient.

you followed hoseok along the trail, laughing as you stumbled over a rock and fell into his side.

“careful.” he warned, a fond smile on his face.

he continued up the path, holding tightly onto your hand. the feeling of anticipation grew more and more strong as time went on. but so was you exhaustion. you weren’t the fittest of human beings.

finally, the sound of a steady stream flowed into your ears. and it wasn’t long before you walked into a clearing. it was surrounded by trees, but in the middle of the clearing was the stream of water you had been hearing. the water was clear and beautiful, and reflected the sunlight that casted down on it.

hoseok watched your reaction. you, of course, looked even more beautiful than the actual place.

after gawking at the scenery for a bit, you hurried back over to hoseok. “but why did you bring me here?”

hoseok suddenly seemed nervous. he hadn’t forgotten the purpose of this, but he also had buried it deep into his brain. as much as he had done this before, he was always nervous.

“i have to show you something.”

your smiled dropped. hoseok, suddenly, looked grim, hesitant, nervous.

you followed him over to a patch of grass. it was dead, and you could see old flower stems, withered and wrinkled. “hoseok, it’s just a dead patch of grass.”

he squatted down, tugging on your hand. you copied him, and kept close.

“just, please.” he begged.

you grew worried. “hoseok, what’s the matter?”

“promise me.” he spoke barely above a whisper. “promise me that you won’t scream, or run away, or leave me behind, or forget about me.”

you felt your eyes grow glasser. you had more love for this boy than you could ever imagine. “hoseok,” you hesitantly released his hand in order to touch his cheek. “i would never.”

then, he turned back to the grass and flower stems. you watched carefully as he brought his hands down, hovering over the grass, and closed his eyes. you were confused by his actions, but completely bewildered when there was a orange-yellow glow. the light came from his hands, followed by a burst of warmth. you watched with wide eyes as the yellow transitioned to green, and the flower stems grew stronger and sprouted their flowers again. your jaw dropped. you couldn’t belive it.

hoseok looked at you, his lips forming a smile. “you always reacted like that.”

your head snapped towards his direction. “what?”

then his smiled dropped, and he sighed. “i guess i should explain.”

“yeah, obviously.”

“i know it’s hard to believe this, but i’m a god.”

your eyes narrowed, lips forming an o shape.

“specifically, a sun god. my name is actually inti, but i go by other names as generations come and go, as time moves on. this generation, i happened to choose jung hoseok.”

you were still shocked, baffled to the point where you couldn’t move or speak. hoseok, or inti, continued. “this is going to sound even more crazy, but y/n, we are literally destined, fated to be together. you are my soulmate, as i am yours.”

“a- but- hose-” you tried to get out.

hoseok grabbed your hands, calming you down. “i know. it all is crazy and i know i’m dumping this onto you so suddenly, but i couldn’t wait any longer. since i first came into existence, there was a girl. many generations ago, a girl who looked just like you do was my wife. she was my moon, my love, my soulmate, but you weren’t immortal. you were just like the humans were, and i am cursed to watch you die, over and over again. a few generations after that, i came across another girl, one who looked just like her, and she acted just as she did. and i fell in love again.” he sighed. “i made it my purpose to find her every single lifetime, so find that same person, to feel complete once again.”

you felt tears in your eyes. “ho-hoseok.”

he smiled, a tear slipping from his eye. “you feel it, don’t you? the pull. we’re literally drawn towards each other. some magic that pulls us together.”

you did feel that, in fact. it was something that you had felt since the very first day when hoseok stumbled into your life. you didn’t want to think much about it. you assumed it was because you were in love with him so you were being delusional. turned out, that was not the case.

realizing that you hadn’t moved or said a word since hoseok had spoken, you nodded. you were shaking slightly, still in shock, but you managed to keep your head up and nod. “yes.”

hoseok grinned, face and posture full of relief. his grip on your hands loosened. he was no longer afraid that you would slip away, run out of his life. he would be heartbroken for many years, until he was able to find the reincarnation of the love of his life again.

“i’m going to need lots of time, hoseok.”

his bright aura dimmed.

you smiled encouragingly. “just to wrap my head around everything. it’s a lot to take in. but don’t worry.” you pulled him closer, laughing slightly as you felt your nose begin to run as more tears flooded your eyes. “i won’t leave.”

hoseok released a heavy breath. “i swear, every hundred years, my love for you only grows stronger.”

you blushed. “really?”

you felt special, you weren’t going to lie to yourself. you were destined to be in his life. in anything, you were more shocked that you were a reincarnation of a goddess, another being a long, long, long time ago. you kept coming back, and each time, hoseok, inti, found you. it was meant to be. you couldn’t help but think of your past selves, the ones before you, how you found hoseok and fell in love with him, and spent the rest of your life with him.

“hoseok,” you whispered, “does it hurt when i pass away, and you’re left alone again?”

he shrugged. “it does hurt, and it’s sad to witness, but i know that i’ll just see you’re beautiful face again in a few decades, and that’s what keeps me going.”

“that’s kind of romantic.”

he smiled at you, eyes gently and full of love. “you’ve said that before, many, many years ago.”

“because it’s true.”

he nodded. all hoseok could think of in that moment was that he was once again complete and in love.

----

[many weeks later]

you groaned tiredly, rolling over onto your other side. your body felt heavy, and you were content at how warm you were. you felt happy, warm, and all things positive and right. and just as you were slipping into another nap, an arm wrapped itself around your waist and stomach, pulling you onto your back. a second later, a pair of lips touched the corners of your own. a quiet groan echoed from your throat as you tried to pull away. “hoseok.”

his laugh was like music. “wake up.” he said.

“i don’t want to.”

“but we’ve already napped twice. it’s already late and we haven’t done anything.”

“hoseok, we don’t have to be doing something all the time.” you mumbled, prying open your eyes. “sometimes it’s best to just sit back and relax with your true love.”

he blushed at your words. as a response, he nudged his fluffy head underneath your chin, earning a laugh from you. his hair was tickling your neck. “hey!”

he grinned, cuddling closer to you. after torturing and tickling you, making you laugh, he pulled his head up, pressing a kiss to your cheek. you smiled and returned it. “i’ve been wondering.” you suddenly said, breaking the comfortable silence.

“what were traditions like back then?”

hoseok’s eyebrows knitted together with confusion. “what do you mean?”

“like in your time, the time of the incas. did people do sacrifices? or prayed to you? were their celebrations in your name.”

“you could just look all this up on the internet, you know.”

“i could, but i want to hear it from you. for all i know, the entire internet made shit up and is lying about you, or saying ‘facts’ that aren’t actually true.”

hoseok thought to himself, you could see it in his facial expression. “there’s not much to say, actually. but there’s actually a holiday that still celebrates me, to this day.”

your eyes widened. “really?”

he nodded. “this year it’s in june. the ‘celebration of the sun’.” he sighed, quite sadly. “although anything that is related to the inca is slowly dwindling and fading out. as time passes, it get lonelier and sadder. i don’t see any of my relatives, or fellow gods and goddesses as much anymore. we’re more focused on blending in, you know? making sure no one recognizes us, making sure we stay out of sight, not be noticeable, things like that.”

in a comforting manner, you gently pressed a kiss to his lips, rubbing his shoulder slightly. “that’s kinda sad, hoseok.”

he shrugged, completely wiping his weary expression from his face. “it’s not a big deal. it gets easier.” then he smiled. hoseok’s eyes were bright, and twinkled with love. “besides, i get to see you. i get to look for you, and fall in love with you all over again.”

you blushed. “a true love story.”

he kissed your lips once more. “my only love story.”
