Six Sentence Sunday
i recently learned that this is a fandom activity thing, just posting six (or seven. or eight) sentences of any writing. in my case for no other reason than to make myself write or edit at least those six sentences a week and to hold myself like semi accountable by posting them here because wow this blog is dead
Of course it was Takao Kinomiya who opened his mouth first. Michael Summers was surprised that fool had managed to keep it shut for several consecutive minutes; must have been a record-breaking silence for him.
Michael leaned back in his chair and flicked the tuft of red hair off his other eye, observed how the rest of the somber bunch chose to react. It all had to be for show, right? The mysterious invitations and alleged dinner party, heās convinced it was all some spectacle schemed by Ralf JĆ¼rgens, the guy had a real knack for theatrics. This whole place was such a joke: a conveniently gothic medieval castle in the darkest heart of the Schwarzwald woodlands; the imposing blood red walls of the dining room; the chandeliers and candles and that god-awful grandfather clock that stood at the end of the comically long table like a ticking demon butler from Hell. Bravo, JĆ¼rgens, Michael thought and wanted to applaud the German, bravo; the stage youāve set is a fucking clichĆ© but an entertaining one.

š bts fic recs pt. IIĀ š
hello if ure here for astro pls bare with me i rarely do this promise ;; šā¤ļø since its been a while, I kinda wanted to do another fic rec and show u all these cool fics ive been reading that impacted me in some waysĀ šā¤ļø
If youāre new, hello!Ā šā¤ļø I usually rec fics that gives me a lot of cool atmospheric feels, interesting take on the trope/genres. So to start, here are two fics that are Amazing and Kinda Scary But Is So Good (and Kinda Changed My Life/Stayed With Me Still)Ā
Ps. The top part of this list is pretty heavy -- as in, heavy topics/subjects, read the tags and warnings on the fic as well so you donāt go in unassuming ;;. If youāre not into the first 5 i recommend on here --feel free to scroll down and just see what you like!Ā šā¤ļø I promise I also have like, lighter stuff in here too!Ā šā¤ļø Also: most of itās very taegi and yoonkook heavy i know skjnsk i didnāt realize how much of them i actually read/accumulated over the years but here we go!Ā šā¤ļø
It Happened Quiet by hobimo - not sure if i recāed this before. But this is by far one of the most soul-impacting, life-changing fic Iāve ever read. I donāt think Iāve ever read something so true to the horror genre? But at the same time, thereās such a beautiful plot and time-travel and mystery/lore behind it. The characters are so interesting, I know it says taegi, vhope, and taegihope but itās a lot less about the romantic side of things and Iād definitely recommend this for the *wriggle hands* entire fic. Itās amazing. Please give it a read (maybe when itās not dark)Ā šā¤ļø
Bodies of Water by themarmalade - yoonmin, siren/horror theme and this one kept me on my toes as wellĀ šā¤ļø itās such an interesting story and take on the fantasy/horror genre, I definitely recommend this one just as much as I do to the one above. Also, themarmalade writes alot of amazing fics-- thereās a masseur/cuddle-therapist minjoon one and also Scowl at the Moon is an amazing angsty namkook oneĀ šā¤ļøAND a taejoon tāhat one weird city where the dj/narrator talks about carlos whoās so handsomeā au.. something ville??forgot the name rn... I recommend their entire body of work tbh ;; šā¤ļø
Singularity by PrettyBoysTaegi (GetOutOFMyTreeNovice) - taegi, supernatural, coming back to life. DEFINITELY do not take the major character death lightly - BUT before you look away, itās SUCH a good fic. I canāt recommend this enough, it kinda kick started by overall love and fascination for horror-themed fic and aus. Thereās something to appreciate in feeling something so fully and so much, like that feeling when youāre overwhelmed with love and you canāt hold it in. Itās in your eyes, nose, pores, mouth. Youāre overflowing with it and itās just rolling out of you. Anyways I love this so muchĀ Ā šā¤ļø
in all dishonesty by fruitily - taegi, i foam and go full feral thinking about this fic sometimes. Itās so fun, so entertaining. So fucking great, I donāt. I canāt even explain. Itās light, fun, something to break you from all my heavy fic recs so far.Ā šā¤ļø
Satie by paperhearts - taegi, this one is an old one but itās definitely an Experience. war fic? kinda? reincarnation? itās amazing n I canāt even spoil it. Please check it outĀ šā¤ļø
Murmuration by fringecity (indiachick) - I know I recāed this before, but the author just said they finished the last chapter and itās been SUCH a long ride I want to rec it again for those who wants a good, long, read. One of the best fic on ao3 honestly? So well researched, so detailed. Plot driven and I just appreciate how the different element/tropes all fits together on here. Itās a mystery/thriller fic-- and itās amazing. Yoonmintae but this aint about them this is about whatās happening. Theyāre in this together, and the characters themselves are so good. If youāre looking for a fic that develops and keeps you on your toes-- this is the oneĀ šā¤ļø Action, mystery, thriller, gang, magic? science? amazing.Ā Ā
The Things Worth Going to War For by softlyblue - sope, I know I recommended this before but this is BY FAR the most fleshed out, understandable and digestible fantasty/adventure fic. Itās so RICH with lore and culture and PEOPLE. Even the ocs feels authentic and arenāt intrusive at all. Itās on lock so youāll need an account, but I recommend getting an account JUST to read this fic to be honest. Itās THAT good. Also: mind the warnings! šā¤ļø OH and the fighting scenes and anticipation for war is SO good. One of the BEST fic honestly.Ā
And I Fall by spudcity - not sure if I recāed this before, taegi, constantine au, I donāt actually know what constantine au is. But the setting, the environment, the social setting AND also just the plot development and story is so captivating. Itās something else to think about like-- you coming in with nothing in mind and being able to understand the world and all of itās expansive element just because of this fic. It says a lot about how good the author is, I hope you like this fic alot toošā¤ļøĀ
golden haze by CaptainButts - vmin, alien au. Amazing, one of the best vmin Iāve ever read?Ā šā¤ļøĀ Captainbutt is amazingly good at characterization as well, so youāll definitely see more fic recs of their stories from me for sure. Plus -- this fic definitely spiralled me into fulfilling my full aquarius mercury nature and getting into that good alien contemplation. Amazing.Ā
like real people do by notyoongs - yoonkook, space au and also robotic/AI auĀ šā¤ļø This is such a nice, slow-burn, fleshed out fic. Especially in terms of characters, and also inclusion of the rest of bangtan/their subtle involvement in making the main pairing go through their development. Anyways, one of the best AI au Iāve ever readĀ šā¤ļø Itās not angsty as well, so!!Ā šā¤ļø
everyone brave is forgiven by notyoongs - yoonkook, spiderman slash avengers au. words canāt describe how much i love this fic. Frustration at the character, dread at whatās about to happen, heart-breaking sadness at the resolution. BUT the entire ride is such a beautiful journey full of sunset-washed colours. This is definitely not of the fic youāll have to read and it reminds you that the present is the most important, to enjoy the ride. To enjoy every emotions that youāve faced and is given, it really makes you feel so full and grateful. I love this ficĀ šā¤ļø
Inside a sinking feeling by CaptainButts - jinkook, amazing art heist vs police auĀ šā¤ļø Not only is the plot so good, the twists and turns, the dialogue is amazing -- plus, it has alot of actions and good old romance. Even if you donāt normally read this pairing, itās an amazing fic I definitely recommend. They also wrote another jinkook au thatās equally amazing-- its a lifeguard/childhood crush au, but this one -- the art heist one-- is amazing.Ā šā¤ļø
From Apogee to Perigee by Namib - taegi, holiday town au. As in, thereās christmas town and thereās halloween towns. Inclusion of all members, and we trek taeās journey in getting gifts for yoongi. It IS light and fluffy, but this story is so interesting because thereās a lot of interactions that adds onto the story. Lots of flashbacks, interactions with each member of bts adds a layer to the story in a different way. We see more and more of the relationship through taeās interaction with others, Itās so beautiful seeing variety of emotions and depth and you have to pick up on different things here. Because taehyung as a character and narrator is oblivious or still nervous about yoongiās affection for him. So. This is such a cool fic and interesting trope and itās amazing I recommend it lotsĀ
Youāre My Home by heyyyjude - taegi, this is a sequel but this one hits so hard. A lot of people -- me included -- likes to think of ourselves as very giving and very demonstrative of that. That we definitely love something more, as we should, socially. But when confronted with how we actually treat/act long term and what our subconscious actions say. Sometimes we have to re-evaluate ourselves. This fic really digs deep and makes itself a home in my life because of this idea of -- re-evaluating yourself and how you love someone, the idea of prioritizing and learning how to take care of others-- knowing youāre allowed to have passions and hobbies you live and breath for outside of that. Relationships really are like that sometimes, where you do need to step back and think about things like this and how you act sometimes. Definitely recommend this lots. šā¤ļø
Sweet Music Playing in the Dark by GinForInk - chaptered, namkook, a really cool take on abo dynamics and relationships plus its not as angsty as it sounds itās actually really nice! thought provoking if you put yourself in namjoonās shoes and think about privileges n postering. Something to think about, but overall just a really nice ficĀ šā¤ļø
Chasing the Sun by almostsophie1Ā - oneshot, taegi, long-ficĀ šā¤ļøthereās a lot of soulmate connection tropes out there but this one actually teleports you physically to where your soulmate is which is really interesting bc you actually. do know your soulmate + have that security a lil (in knowing its not a dream) and itās a sweet, overall, very nice fic that doesnāt really play with my emotionsĀ šā¤ļø
together weāll count our stars by czar (cmajorchords) - namgi, radio station au. Lots of good, good feels. This one has a lot of feelings. It came at a time where I was going through something that really resonated with it, but even without my personal experience -- thereās something so sleepless and timeless about it. I recommend this for the soothing quality it has, the feeling of going through something hard and coming out on the otherside alright again šā¤ļø
Kiss me hard before you goĀ by 77735Ā - sope, roommates, misunderstanding but so so so shock full of loveĀ šā¤ļø so soft, reading this was such a pleasure, a very good plot AND very good characters, lots of piningĀ šā¤ļø Miscommunication, all the good stuffĀ šā¤ļø But so so much love in between the lines, love itĀ šā¤ļø
You love a stone by roeblingĀ - taegi, medusa but spin it on itās head as in thereās a happy endingĀ šā¤ļø love this take on it so much, actually roebling writes alot of really cool recreates of fairytales/myths like dragons and stuff -- makes me think of the holy grail but like, nicer. Definitely digestible, such a cool fic i canāt rec enoughĀ šā¤ļøšā¤ļø light and goodĀ šā¤ļø
In each place (oh you remain) by misspamela - minjoon, hades/persephone, consent has always been a thing with hades/persephone adaptations. So this is another interesting fic on thatĀ šā¤ļø Short n sweet, but amazingĀ šā¤ļøĀ
And my heart is set on you (You better shape up) by Bandit4Life - taegi, theatre au, enemies to lovers, lots of pick up linesĀ šā¤ļø Grease au? But make it gay. The fic I didnāt know I needed until I read it and then realized its a part of my life now. So goodĀ šā¤ļø
mind if i slytherin? by notyoongs - yoonkook, hogwart teachers au. Love the involvement of student and just-- the social dynamic here. Also love a happy ending. This is definitely an āopen for surpriseā kinda deal but like-- a nice surprise. A present. C: Ā šā¤ļø
Open the Floodgates by soft_bro_fun - namjin, so good, explicit but itās such a cool take on self-esteem thing and just. perspective, y know? how you can see yourself a certain way but through third person or in anotherās eyes thereās a different narrative going on. Anyways this is good ficĀ šā¤ļø
let love get the best of us by czar (cmajorchords) - taegi, so good.Ā šā¤ļø not as angsty as it seems, very reassuring and like--itās just so nice. Especially when you think about -- like, the fear of being in love, itās very valid to feel this way. I think a lot of people often choose to say no as a self-preservation. Itās something to exploreĀ šā¤ļø
sucker by notyoongs - yoonkook, werewolf/supernatural au. Roommates? just very nice development and trope and just overall how it plays out.Ā šā¤ļø A lil bit of miscommunication but not much. Itās overall a really really enjoyable ficĀ šā¤ļø
How much to give and how much to take by Aguacates - I love a lot of fic by this author so youāll see more recs about them ;; ksjnjnsk namkook, arranged marriage auĀ šā¤ļø please give it a read, itās SUCH a good fic. Amazing writing and characters, I love how they have like-- a trope/plot we see around alot but they really just dig into it and made it WORK so wellĀ šā¤ļø
Moonshine lovers by bedroomdemos -Ā taegi, taehyung as vampire, truth serumĀ šā¤ļø honestly such a great and interesting fic! first of all i love the premise, second i love how it all played out and just -- I want more, this is a fic that makes me love it so much I keep going back to read it bc it hits differentĀ šā¤ļø
Pull me Under by Oh_Hey_Tae - namseok, with yoonjinkook and vmin, cruise/life-guard au and a lot of rich frat boysĀ šā¤ļø Along the same lines as fruitilyās taegi -- this is also a very summer-y, flirty, light hearted but v v nice ficĀ šā¤ļø Love how the audience can see joon being flustered even tho weāre in hoseokās narrative, but like-- itās so nice to just, see things from hobiās side bc weāre usually on joonās side when heās interacting with hobi (in namseok fics)Ā šā¤ļø So yeah!!Ā šā¤ļø A great read!!Ā šā¤ļø
Slytherin Your Heart by softyoongles - taegi, hogwarts au. One of the thing that really hits me is the inclusion of other characters.How in the middle of that. It elevates the main pairing without isolating them from the rest of the cast/crew. This one hits šā¤ļø
the planets bend between us by sharpa - taegi, space explorers, kinda established relationship BUT iād like to point you towards the AMAZING narrative style and how when we do time-skip/replay into the past it actually makes so much sense AND adds onto the dynamic between these two characters šā¤ļø I love it so much, itās a fic that leaves my stomach feeling full like Iāve just had a very good meal.Ā šā¤ļø
a hold on me by CaptainButts - junghope, single-father au, amazing to see namjoon as hoseokās kid and also junghopeās past relationship together. Embarrassing dads, also side vmin and yoonjin. Love itĀ
Paint by Minverse - vmin, amazing fic that explores gender/sexuality, relationships and the lgbtqa+ spaces/subjects so well? Literally one of the most well-done fic Iāve ever read that incorporates these areas PLUS all of itās complexity. It doesnāt lose an INCH of complexity. And like, itās NOT SAD itās actually pretty light (?) bc weāre seeing it from -- taeās side most of the time which is great.Ā šā¤ļø Anyways I canāt rec this enoughĀ šā¤ļøšā¤ļø Itās so good!!Ā šā¤ļøĀ
yellow red AND blue purple by baekyun (baruna) - namkook+namminkook royalty au AND taegi royalty au. Basically taehyungās a bodyguard to yoonji. Kook gets married off to namjoon but heās like-- namjoonās fan and supporter. Jiminās jungkook bodyguard and āsomeā -- itās a complicated thing. But itās an interesting take on world building, history and politics as well. Particularly with the taegi one, and then further in the namkook one. Anyways itās refreshing to read, itās on lock so youāll have to register for ao3 to have an acc ;; šā¤ļø Having an acc is so good tho bc u can also bookmark stuff and its all in one place šā¤ļø
Some classics Iād like to rec!!!Ā šā¤ļø These ones below are fics that are probably multi-chaptered, or I just really really enjoyed.Ā šā¤ļø
If i wanted to (i do) by kaythebest - vmin, marriage au. The goodest slow burn, the best story about developing relationships and just. Ugh. I canāt recommend this one enough, itās just so fucking good. Kept me on my toes for ages, definitely one of the best vmin iāve read ;u;Ā šā¤ļø
Fake Sugar by minverse - jinkook, sugar daddy au but NOT what you expected. The background of these characters are so good. This is actually one of the more light-hearted one from the author, but itās still so amazing and so good. Especially since the dynamic between jinkook has a lot of domestic stuff instead of sexual things we were expecting, and a lot of corporate/shady fun in the social atmosphere theyāre in.Ā šā¤ļø
tea house special by baekhyun (baruna) - yoonkook, avatar the last air bender au. Sugar daddy as well? Kinda? Fraternizing with the enemies? Kinda? But this oneās a classic. Amazing, I love it so much. One of the best bts avatar crossover. Thereās also a sequel that focuses on Jimin as an earth fighter too. Definitely check it out!Ā šā¤ļø
an inhabited world by misspamela - namseok, this oneās so good. Jump started my love for namseok fic. Thereās explicit stuff as well, but I just. I love this ficĀ šā¤ļø
unfinished by fruitily - yoonkook, ghost au. Love this, love the supernatural. One of the best yoonkook ghost fic. I recommend this one like, please press the link and see for yourself!!Ā šā¤ļø
Just Skins by syubology - taegi, i dont even know what it is but itās amazing.Ā Fwb au? The author said they want to do re-writes of Just Skins so!! skjsnkjsn letās be patient. In the meantime, thereās war-fics from the author that theyāre updating/currently working on? šā¤ļøĀ
you are my bravest everything by 777335 - vmin, long-distance. I love this one so much, itās SUCH a good read if you havenāt read it yet.Ā šā¤ļøĀ Relationships are hard enough already, but when you teeter the lines between wanting to be a supportive friend but also are you interested in Them? -- itās something thatās so *clench fist* gets me in the feels wow.Ā šā¤ļøĀ
Will you B Minor? by ohdizzy - taegi prequel to Blow me like your French Horn jikook fic (its a series)Ā both are incredibly good. amazing. funny! i recommend reading both. You get a hefty amount of taegi in bmlyfh too.The Jikook fic is so nicešā¤ļø
Black&Gold by marchdahlia - yoonkook, camboy au. But guess what? The dynamic and power structure is different from their cam persona vs irl. This is such an interesting take. I love this so much tbhĀ šā¤ļøĀ
Baby girl, I canāt breath by hoars - MY FAVOURITE LESBIANS!!Ā šā¤ļøtaegi, but also other pairs.Ā This is a CLASSIC and no matter if you prefer mlm or wlw or just, idk. Anything. The plot and characters surpasses expectations and boundaries. Itās so enjoyable to read. Note that itās very old, so some of the issues are things in the earlier days of bangtan fandom.
too cute to hurt by mimiforce - taegi, fem. This is the sweetest, softest fic ever you donāt even have to like f/f itās just. really nice. Short and light read. Sneaky kisses.
love does(nāt) hurt by artaemin - yoonkook, one of the most beautiful fic iāve ever read? I recommend other fics by artaemin as well. But this one -- wow. For those who wants to experience emotions for the first time, and also itās actually like. A happy ending!!!Ā šā¤ļø
large, extra cheese, extra sauce (extra you) by vminism - taegi, pizza deliver au. This pre-dates bon voyage 2, so basically the start of the taegi resurgence and rise of taegi. Amazing fic, I love it so much. Alot of cute, soft, cheesy stuffĀ šā¤ļø
disappearing act done poorly by kyungchul - taegi, movie theater au. Past vhope, but this is very very nice and so amazing to read bc of the plot, the moments, the trope. I recommend you read something that remind you of bridget jones diary era once in your life. Itās amazing
describe your ideal type here by fruitilys - yoonkook, this is once again, a classic and an amazing yoonkook fic. Matchmaker tae. Incredibly entertaining writing. I have nothing else I would wish forĀ šā¤ļø
True or False, Taehyung? by clumsy_taegi - taegi, this one is explicit but it stuck with me because of the characterization of Taehyung. I love this characterization of him so much because? itās not like, predictable at all. As in, if you put other characters in this situation -- you might have someone bursting into tears, but he didnāt. And itās? thatās something amazing. And makes me think about just-- like, how emotional every other fic Iāve read has been which is like!! great too. But it made me pause and think. Ā
p.s. i love you by notyoongs - yoonkook, theĀ āpretend relationshipā trope but-- this is so fucking heartaching and romantic. I canāt recommend this enough, itās so goodĀ šā¤ļø
of monsters and me by notyoongs - yoonkook and later, a brief rapline x kook monsterfucker fic. This is a series, itās all explicit. Basically, thereās a lot of sex. BUT the idea of monster under your bed and relationships between kook and yoongi is so cool? Because realistically, thereās a lot to consider and also just-- the dynamic in the relationship. The power play. Like,, this is a demon weāre talking about. Anyways itās so cool.
here comes the sun by fruitilys - yoonkook, i donāt even know how to describe it. But its amazing, this is one of my favourite fic of theirs -- and in the bts ao3 site tbh. Itās so good. I love it. šā¤ļø
