Favourites List.
favourites list
a collection of truly wonderful / hilarious / heartbreaking stories that inspired my love for this fandom.
* i haven't been updating this list, apologies - i haven't time to read fanfic lately :( because of that, a lot of these fics are pretty old! i haven't been caught up to recent stuff (not to mention new fandoms). i'll be back in a bit with links to better recc pages/comms. also, i'll continuously edit out links that no longer work (f-locked, broken, etc) as i go.
* ouimonsieur and immodicus, how i miss you. ♥
important.
1. my list does not contain fic-specific warnings (such as character death) or ratings (i list anything from G to NC-17). please check these on the fics themselves.
2. fics here were listed because they're great reads, no matter what their premise or style.
3. some of the fics i choose to recc, i do so because they're interesting or unusual. popular opinion is not necessarily my opinion, etc etc...
4. i'm biased to certain pairings. and it shows.
5. dies, recc me anything. i have a preference for dbsk, shinee, snsd, yg family, infinite, yoochun/jaejoong/hyunjoong/seunghyun. het, slash, whatever. crossovers are fun, too. :Db
6. please also check out the reccs made by others in the comments! :)
