seventeen ao3 fic recs
other rec lists
pt. 2 (completed mid-length fics, <50k words)
pt. 3 (completed shorter fics, <10k words)
pt. 4 (incomplete fics)
so i recently got into reading svt fics and this is a compilation of a few of my favourites :) all recs here are completed (yay no cliffhangers)!
these are mostly minwon, but there are some other pairings as well and i'll be updating this as i go~
also props to anyone who writes!! both fics and in general bc writing is not easy and the creativity and flair that some of these authors have... simply unmatched
edit: i've split the original post into several shorter lists (according to fic length) so each post is a little more readable - links above, happy reading!
---
all-time faves (last updated 9/5/2024)
as y'all can tell i love the longer fics bc they are j so immersive and memorable esp when the characters capture the essence and little quirks of svt so well sooo here goes
Catch the Stars (minwon, 150k words, completed)
this is often hailed as one of the top 3 minwon fics of all time and i wholeheartedly agree!! this might be my fave fic of all time - i really love the city boy x country boy trope, where the mcs form a connection in spite of their different backgrounds and life experiences hehe also random but some of the scenes reminded me of cmbyn (small town italy peachy summer vibes) lolol
Kalon (minwon, 200k words, completed)
my heart broke for wonwoo in this fic and it was absolutely worth the read :"") it's by the same author as catch the stars and her writing is just *chef's kiss* really loved how each conflict and setback was handled and built upon, and wonwoo's inner conflict due to his fear of relationships was really well-depicted and realistic, and the intimacy of them spending time together in the spectacle shop after hours was everything i could've asked for
Love Stuck (minwon, 200k words, completed)
don't usually read parent aus because i prefer stories where the mcs are closer in profile to the actual pair but this was very well-written!! loved how the author handled the struggles of single parent-child dynamics as well as the slow burn - each character was really fleshed out, the chapters didn't feel repetitive despite the fic being quite long and it was all in all a vv wholesome fic hehe
'til kingdom come (minwon, 160k words, completed)
this was a historical au and the writing was so poetic!! and exquisite!! not forgetting the tension and drama of it all, how the world-building was so intricately wrought out, the language so befitting of the period, the development of the entire war arc beyond the romance, each character so original yet still bearing hints that remain true to their persons, the chapters being well-paced, the epilogue that wrapped things up so beautifully... i can't even begin to fathom how long it took the author to come up with this gripping masterpiece askshdfjkdsf i'd give a million kudos if i could
---
others (in order of descending word count)
the sun and the silver lining (minwon, 60k words, completed)
this one made my heart feel things :"") really loved this author's descriptions (the metaphors in this fic were unparalleled) and how they give nuance to the internal thoughts and feelings of the characters!! slight b99 vibes with policeofficer!wonwoo x paramedic!mingyu lolol
Like the Beginning (minwon, 55k words, completed)
this was heartbreak/comfort with a second-chance romance and slight hospital playlist vibes lol i relish in the pain of reading about wonwoo trying to go back to how things were, mingyu being torn between indulging him and wanting to keep his distance, that feeling of looking at someone you once loved only to realise that you never moved on in the first place ugh
in defense of the side character (minwon, 55k words, completed)
actor!mingyu x scriptwriter!wonwoo - super well-written and it even has art!! the scripts made it all the more realistic and i have a soft spot for fics on the entertainment industry bc the overall atmosphere is always a little different from the slice of life/school aus like there's this underlying tension of being under public scrutiny and the pressure of being public figures and i j love when the fics capture these nuances in the story hah
Change of Ends (soonwoo, 52k, completed)
tennis!au - this might actually be my favourite soonwoo fic ever?? loved how their relationship was fleshed out over the years with the use of a non-linear narrative to sprinkle in memories from their past between their moments at present, and wonwoo was so sweet and loving here and it was such a refreshing take on his character bc he is usually the colder one. also, the level of detail for the sport was incredible and made the reading experience extra immersive so highly-recommend!!
A Mighty Stranger (minwon, 50k words, completed)
a fantasy minwon au for a change! really cool concept for a fic and there was so much effort and research that went into this bc the story spanned across different continents and time periods so i'd recommend this to those looking for smth diff
feel free to rec any fics based on what i've shared!! would really appreciate it thank you hehe

Manhattan Beach
hello hello it’s sydney here, it’s my turn to take you to this week’s streetWHERE location and why not keep the theme of hometowns going. This weeks spotlight is the place I call home & my personal favorite, Manhattan Beach. This neighborhood’s relaxed vibe gets kicked up during the workweek with the occasional summer dress and exception of bare feet. This city combines a laid back yet urban cool vibe, that you will soon see! I spent the afternoon walking along the pier and shopping through the cities boutiques and enjoying some of the locals style. Ready for some fun in the sun?
side note: (at the end of the pier is a free aquarium & awesome coffee shop ^^)
First things first, DENIM.. Contrary to popular belief, Denim is not only a casual look but with the right pair of shoes and top this classic effortless style never goes out of style! As I was drinking tea at the local coffee store, I saw the perfect rendition of what a great pairing can do. This local, Emma paired her favorite Madewell jeans with a white cut off the shoulder basic t-shirt. She cuffed her denim and wore sneakers to finish this cool relaxed vibe. “Usually I prefer to keep things simple, I generally avoid patterns and usually look for quality and comfort” - Emma
As I was in line for the Manhattan Beach creamery (Old school ice cream parlor that makes great handmade ice cream btw) in front of me was Erin, waiting in line for her chocolate chip cookie dough waffle cone. This laughing local paired a high waisted denim shorts with a basic white tank, denim jacket, bare face and some funky glasses! She finished this easy relaxing outfit with an oversized brown tote and dainty necklace. “On my off days I like to dress super beachy: shorts, flip flops, I don’t even really like to brush my hair haha” - Erin. WE are a fan keep doing you boo!
Up next are my two favorite fashionistas, Sam and Jordan. Sam took advantage of the sun and wore her favorite white summer dress, red bandana and fun heeled mules. The pairing of a red bandana turns this outfit into a trendy yet hip outfit. Jordan wore a printed long sleeve romper, black belt to accentuate her curves & her favorite black boots! ow ow work it darlings!
As I was making my way down the pier, Sidney (yes, she has great style and happens to have the same name as me hehe) styled her outfit with her favorite leather jacket! “My leather jacket is essential, it’s my go to, it can dress up any outfit and take my outfit from day to night” -Sidney. We definitely agree she wore a indigo turtle neck sweater, denim jean and black faded boots! Leather jackets can always turn up the attitude in any outfit and are a great investment!
My two friends met up with me for brunch at the Strand house and showcased their rocker edge vibe. Lillian wore a mid waist red velvet pants with a tied ACDC t-shirt, a choker and high waisted stockings! Jessa wore a tied rolling stones t-shirt, high waisted denim and a white flannel! Look at how cute they are!! It’s essential to add some fun pieces to your wardrobe!! :)
Aleena this little sweetheart on her way to “shop until she drops” captures MB’s gloomy days styling her favorite Steve Madden boots with an oversized “No Rest For Bridget” sweater, dark wash denim jeans and front drop necklace. “A day without comfort is a day wasted”- Aleena I think we can all agree to that! :)
Hope you enjoyed this weeks streetWHERE as much as I did! Thanks to all my featured streetwearer’s you all captured the essence of Manhattan Beach style! You’ll notice a common theme in this city, effortless relaxing yet eclectic cool vibe, it is definitely expected from this classic California beach town! Don’t be afraid to be influenced from these outfits and invest in quality pieces like denim or leather jackets to achieve some longevity classic laid-back outfits!
Life is like a party, DRESS like it! (dancing emoji)
Tune into next week’s streetWHERE location!!!
Hasta La Vista xo
