Fic rec list
This is going to be long and extensive. I'll be adding to this as I go. But I figure better share then just keep them in my memories for only me to enjoy. Many of these are old ones that I'm just now coming across but good writing never really ages. I hope you enjoy these as much as I have.
personal favorites denoted with a *

or here for fics not kpop related, like free!, tokyo ghoul, the hobbit, etc.
