[illusionsofdreaming]

Hello! Do you have any TCF fic recs?

Unfortunately I do not have an extensive list of TCF fics to recommend because TCF is one of the rare few fandoms I’m still navigating myself trying to find what really is my jam. I don’t particularly ship anyone at the moment (hahaha oh the irony of being a reader imagine writer) and so you’ll find that all the fics recommended lean more towards character studies and platonic relationships than romance. Because honestly, those are the fics that I’ll always dig. ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

and so without further ado.. my list...

“and so he coughs flowers made out of blood” by @sudenishindeiru (AO3) immediately comes to mind when someone asks me for TCF fic recs. Anyone who is a fan of the Hanahaki disease trope will definitely enjoy this fic. For those new to the trope, it’s literally a disease that takes form when the victim suffers from one-sided love. Cale our drama queen loves taking things to the next level and is actually dying because he can’t get his slacker life. It sounds like crack-fic but it’s not. It’s a deep and moving study into KRS’s character and how he pushes through the pain of distancing himself from his dreams to make the world a slightly better place. It’s truly a poetic piece and everyone should read it. And no worries. Cale gets his happy ending.

“Hello Author, NPC Cale is Suffering“ also by sudenishindeiru is a more lighthearted piece and on the fun side. If you know Pokemon then you’ll also enjoy this cute crossover fic where Cale transmigrates into the game as a NPC and still struggles to find a peaceful life.

Honestly, I’d recommend any TCF fics by sudenishindeiru! They have great writing style and have many amazing TCF fic ideas rolling about on their blog.

“Found Family” by @o0phylyra0o (AO3) is a short oneshot piece that can be treated as a character study of Kim Rok Soo. Just the right amount of angst and fluff that’s easy to read.

I rarely read AO3 fics that aren’t completed but I’ve come across @pendwelling‘s (AO3) fic “frame the halves and call them brothers” which is a retelling of TCF with both OG!Cale and KRS!Cale as twin brothers. Their characterisation is on-point and I’m looking forward to seeing where they’ll take the story. (not only can they write but they also draw???? what more can you really ask for honestly? godsend to the fandom)

If you’re waiting for Reader Insert recommendations.. unfortunately one of the reasons why I have started writing for TCF was because I couldn’t find any Reader Inserts for TCF ( ╥ω╥ ) please tell me if you guys know of any other tcf reader insert writers

That’s all that I can think of from the top of my head.. I’ll add more if I remember any (￣～￣;)

As always, please feel free to pitch in your own recommendations for the fandom! I’d like to know what everyone reads as well! o(≧▽≦)o I honestly should be the one asking for fic recommendations instead..

[hajidumps]

Lol the TCF rabbit hole is a fun place to be. Yes I do have recs for it, I'll toss up some of my favs.

Say It, Finally by Mango_to_sleep

“I’m a transmigrator.” Cale leaned against a wall of the room, as if he had commented on the weather and not dimensional soul-warping. Rosalyn, Eruhaben, Ron, and Beacrox all stood, stiffly facing Cale. The room was silent. “What… exactly do you mean?”

(i want) you and your beautiful soul by rurinas

Perspective by SudeniShindeIru

There is something the reformed young master Cale is desperately trying to find. No one knows what it is, but it seems that he will never be happy unless he finds it.

Or Kim Rok Soo transmigrates into Cale before Choi Jung Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk dies. This changes many things and Kim Rok Soo is not happy.

-0-

making our meetings count by SudeniShindeIru

I'm counting on you that we'd meet again.

-0-

Besides the Sun by SudeniShindeIru

Tasha asks Cale if he calls Alberu with any compliment referring to his Dark Elf side rather than his sunny persona. She chokes with laughter at the result.

-0-

stop worrying (he has a plan) by thursdays

It's the zombie apocalypse.

Stuck in a foreign nation during his study-abroad, the ever-pragmatic Park Jin Tae joins a group of survivors led by Cale Henituse, who is infuriatingly, irrationally optimistic. And yet, Jin Tae, like everyone else, is pulled in by his charisma.

-0-

in accordance by pheenick

On March 30th, Cale Henituse dies after being beaten to death by a black swordsman.

Heaven's Map by natanije

criminal endeavors of the roan kingdom's silver shield hero and crown prince by auroracode, TheSilverHunt3r

The story of two sworn brothers, Alberu Crossman and Cale Henituse—the Crown Prince and the Hero of the Roan Kingdom. It perhaps involved more illegal acts than it should. Assassin!Cale.

-0-

except I'll need his strength until the day that I die by I_Would_Sleep_Forever

Until a firm grip on his wrist stops him. Cale looks up in alarm, wondering who could have gotten through Choi Han and Raon.

familia ante omnia by shadowlancer_95

“Cale-nim!”

The warning shout sliced through the explosions and screams of the mages trying to flee from the whirlwind of fire, reaching the ears of the red-haired man hovering in the air while chaos whirled at his fingertips. He’d heard variations of such a warning shout before, but the sheer desperation and urgency in Choi Han’s voice this time sent chills down his spine.

Or,

Things go differently in the fight against Dorph and Sayeru.

Damn it, not at that moment! by Lazy_kale

When Kim Rok Soo fell asleep reading a novel, the next day he expected to see his room, have a quiet breakfast and go to work. But definitely not to meet an angry guy and get a punch in the jaw! Damn it!

This is the story of the original Cale Henituse, ancient power Kim Rok Soo, and the whole collection of ancient powers finding family.

Regressed? Goodbye my slacker life by JazzKatt

The war was over, and the Roan kingdom was celebrating it's end as well as the coronation of their new king, everything was going good, until it went all the way down, as people started to fall unconscious.

Cale woke up in his bedroom at the henituse mansion, everything the same, except for the fact that he was supposed to be at the capital, it was too silent for someone that had three kids that liked to roam around, and the fact he was now a child.

Hello Author, NPC Cale is Suffering by SudeniShindeIru

Instead of Birth of a Hero, Cale gets isekai-ed into a video game. Quite literally because he keeps meeting trainers again and again. At least the video game was pretty well-developed so that he could blend in with the game AIs and not be deleted right?

-0-

The Stars of the Roan Kingdom by Starrie_Wolf

“We should officialise your status,” Alberu says.

In hindsight, he should probably have checked if Cale understood the meaning of 'officialise'.

[pendwelling]

“Come on! How old are you? Are you just not telling us because you’re now really a grumpy old man?” Choi Jung Soo teased.

Older Rok Soo sighed. “36.”

“WHOA!!! That’s like ten years into the future!!” Choi Jung Soo shouted in awe.

I just got into king;s avatar, do you have any good fics to rec? anything with ye xiu in it would be awesome.

I can rec you some of my favs! A few have ships but most are gen or just the usual AllYe vibe.

A Documentary by Kisalot

Su Muqiu was always convinced that Lord Grim and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella would one day become the best creation in Glory history. He wanted to document everything in preparation for that day they became a legend.

After retiring from Happy, Ye Xiu finishes it and posts it on Weibo.

For you, my old friend. With this, our dreams have been made complete.

The Story of the Mary Sue Character the Excellent Era Captain Made Up and Ships Himself With by Kisalot (Su Muqiu/Ye Xiu)

The story of regressor Su Muqiu missing his best friend who still hasn't appeared yet, recreating his One Autumn Leaf first server legend for him, and telling everyone stories about his star-crossed soulmate-bff of a past life.

And the story of how most everyone thinks Ye Xiu is his imaginary crush or chuunibyou delusion for many seasons until the man himself appears and causes chaos on Weibo and in the pro circle. And maybe makes everyone think that he's their dream come to life too.

-0-

Completely Self-Indulgent by SudeniShindeIru

As Ye Xiu is going through a hard time because of Excellent Era, he receives a call that Ye Qiu had gotten into a car accident and fell into a coma, leaving his two kids behind. Ye Xiu retires to return home and take care of Ye Qiu's illegitimate kids, and as he does so, he begins to heal and enjoy things he once never thought he could enjoy before as well as the things he once thought he had, but now was beginning to fall in love with all over again.

tldr: Ye family reconciliation and fluff, Ye Xiu being a dad, Ye Xiu going to All Stars and later rejoining the Pro League, and Pro player chats and shenanigans

It Starts with a Dream by Autumn_Rain

In a collaboration with Make-a-Wish Foundation, the Glory Professional Alliance hosts an event in Shanghai so that the children could meet their idols and heroes. It was a normal publicity stunt and charity event until it stopped being one. Trust Ye Xiu to always derail the Alliance's plans, but this time no one could blame him, or Han Wenqing, for that matter.

Who would expect them to be so good with kids?

-0-

Awaiting Your Reply by Autumn_Rain

From the start, Ye Xiu has never cared for reputation or fan opinions. But even if Ye Xiu disappears from the public eye, 'Ye Qiu' still continues to exist in the eyes of the fans, and no amount of evasion can change how powerful and damaging a public image can be.

When Su Mucheng realizes just how much tension lies simmering beneath Excellent Era's surface, she decides to fight a war before the first shot is even fired and sets out as Ye Xiu's unofficial PR manager to make him the nation's darling.

The end results are quite unexpected.

Brother is on the case by Silvera_M

No one is allowed to mess with his brother. No one. And Ye Qiu will make sure to punish any idiot who even attempts. (Ye Qiu finds out what is happening. He is not pleased. And people suffer.)

(Set during season 7)

in carnage i bloom (like a flower in the dawn) by paradisetrain

Excellent Era is counting on Ye Xiu’s lack of social media presence to make the Glory fans forget him. Ye Xiu had always avoided social media, and for a reason. But Mucheng has this wonderful idea - he can have socials and not expose his true identity at the same time.

Ye Xiu had never played Glory for the fans, but it sure is more fun with them.

The following contains the events of QZGS/TKA from the perspective of the official Ye Qiu Weibo. It’s cryptic. It’s confusing. It’s infuriating for pros and fans alike.

Honestly, did you expect anything less?

Baozi was a bouncer by Ourliazo

Ye Xiu keeps getting into trouble. Thankfully, Baozi was a bouncer for his last job.

Piercing Gold by ShootMeDead

Ye Xiu left behind in Excellent Era a piece of himself. As he walked in the streets, the hollow space within him burned with a frozen fire, colder than the weather, colder than dry ice.

Sun Xiang wondered, for just a moment, if Ye Qiu had broken the account card out of spite.

less drowning, more land by jenwryn (Wei Chen/Ye Xiu)

Wei Chen sometimes feels like he's parenting the team right alongside Ye Xiu: all of the work of being-married-with-kids, but none of the bedroom perks.

Or, the one where Team Happy holidays on a beach in northern Australia, and Wei Chen finally ends his dry streak.

At Home (With You) by TheDefenestrator (Wang Jiexi/Ye Xiu)

Soulmates spend their lives together, learning preferences and circumstances from shared snacks and tiny mementos, never farther from reach than an object passed across a table.

By the time they meet in person, they'll know exactly what it is their partner is looking for.

Quest Fulfilled by Invidia_Envy

In a meet and greet event, Ye Xiu is forced to hang around despite not joining the event at all. Whilst loitering around, Ye Xiu met a fanboy and made an unlikely friendship with the kid. Accident happened and the boy can't join the meet and greet, Ye Xiu decided to take his place.

The pros are all speechless, why is Ye Qiu lining up in Tyranny's booth?

-0-

Safeguard by Invidia_Envy (Han Wenqing/Ye Xiu)

Since he was young, Ye Xiu was always used to watch out when he crossed the road. His parents had nailed it to his head to always look left and right when crossing the road and always make sure to hold Ye Qiu’s hand while at it.

So it became a habit. Holding Ye Qiu's hand, holding Su Mucheng's hand. Until one day he held someone else's hand while being absentminded.

“Sorry, Old Han, I didn’t realize it was you.”

“No worries.”

-0-

telltale heart, beating like a drum by Synoshian (Ye Xiu/Yu Wenzhou)

Smiling eyes regarded him. “Don’t you think we’re moving too slow?”

“No,” Ye Xiu replied, “but you would know, I guess.”

World Champions by TheDefenestrator

At the end of season 4 of the Glory Pro Alliance, the government finally receives the information it has been waiting for: The other players have caught up.

Or,

In which Glory has been a government recruitment ploy for remote-piloted mecha operators all along.
