FIC RECOMMENDATION
they keep me writing.
48 Hours
various pairings
“After 48 hours, only one boy will be alive in this house.”
I am in love with this fic. My favorite genre out of everything. The characterization is simply amazing and even until now I keep discovering things I missed out the last time I read it. It makes me think and make my own assumptions, I love fics like that. The way it is written is just very remarkable. It is a must-read for every exo fan.
Endgame
sehun/kai, nc-17
Sleeping with the lover of East Asia's most dangerous arms dealer wasn't one of Oh Sehun's brightest ideas. (fumerie/grisclair)
My favorite sekai fic. This is the kind of action I always fall in love with. An agents!au isn’t quite rare with sekai, but this just owns every other fic that involves guns and chasing. The twist just got me straight to the heart and I love how it is very substantial to the whole plot. I strongly recommend it to everyone who loves sekai. Though there’s a catch, it works with bottom! kai.
Second-best
kai/sehun, sehun/luhan, mentioned kai/krystal, r
“Hey you. Boyfriend?” Jongin makes a face. “Ew no. I’m his bestfriend.” (exollent)
Asdfghjkl; I had tiny little heartbreaks in this fic and couldn’t keep myself calm until I reached the end of it. Basically, it works with the kai/sehun/luhan triangle, with an addition of krystal which just made it a tad more complicated. However, it sort of ends with fluff so. In all honesty, it almost sounded real.
Anything You Synthesize
sehun/kai, nc-17
Not all those who wander are lost. Some only know too well that their place is inside by a three-by-eight, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping liquid crystal. (lunathunderhead/19-blue-roses)
This is amazingly written and I won't ever understand if anyone says this isn't worth reading it. I have no words for how genius this fic is. The whole setting and plot is just entirely new, I mean there might be a lot of dystopian fics, but not everything can be pulled off as smoothly as this. My favorite line is "PS. Please don't turn on the light." and it haunted me for a while. I recommend this so much to those who love to read, not only for the pairing, but for the story itself. It won't ever disappoint you especially if you love appreciating creative works like this. My favorite character in this story is Luhan btw. READ IT.
We All Fall Down
kai/sehun, sm artists, nc-17
(itachibana13/semecomplex)
The sekai is only significant in the first part and the rest are all about jongin’s journey. It reminds me of The Hunger Games, though it has its own unique plot. I like how other sm artists are introduced into the fic to make a good list of characters. It is very well thought out and I admire how it is carefully written.
Dysfunctional Delight
kai/sehun, pg
Misunderstandings are always fun and games. (astrou/pinkbit)
I couldn’t help but laugh at the ending. This is brilliant. It’s cool and simple and it doesn’t need any complication. I do not normally read crack fics, but astrou is such a successful writer I would never refuse to read from her. It’s very hilarious, A+.
Oh Sehun, Awkward Kid Extraordinaire
kai/sehun, pg
(astrou/pinkbit)
I don’t think there’s a ficrec that doesn’t have this (except for those who don’t read sekai ofc). I learned to love astrou through this fic. That one time I braved myself to read a crack fic and it turned out to be a really nice experience. Don’t miss out on this!
Go Ahead, I Dare You
jongin/sehun, nc-17
Drunken dares are the bane of oh sehun's existence. and maybe kim jongin, too (zitaos)
The smut is thrilling. You won’t know why unless you read. lol
White Line
jongin/sehun, nc-17
(bluedveins/exovine)
I like band!au a lot so this got stuck in my head. It’s also painful in some way, so read it if you appreciate angst a little more than too much.
Run and Gun
sehun/jongin, nc-17
AU. Jongin gets hurt, Sehun takes care of him. Except not really. PWP. (tatoeba/simplyephemeral)
This is basic porn with “gunplay”. Who doesn’t want the addition of danger into sex? Definitely hot!
Got Me Up All Night (All I'm Singing Is Love Songs)
kai/sehun, nc-17
Tumblr!AU: Tumbr famous ulzzang Sehun and b-boy Jongin meet. (himchan)
Very smooth. It gave me tingles just because the famous ulzzang and bboyjkr were too adorably cute and perfect and not so innocent during their first meeting. Just smooth. The alternate universe would seem real if the two didn't debut as idols tbh. They are so gay.
And There The Grass Grows Soft And White
baekhyun/chanyeol, jongin/sehun, nc-17
The summer before college, Jongin, Sehun, and Baekhyun spend a month together on the beach. And then Baekhyun meets Park Chanyeol. (canttakeabreath/gulpsofoxygen)
I have a very soft spot for sekaibaek bffery and this gave me the satisfaction I needed. It has a very unique plot and it’s sad, in a way. It is well-written and I wish she could write another sekaibaek fic because she wrote them together so well.
A Million Ways To Be Cruel
jongin-centric, jongin/baekhyun, kris/luhan, jongin/sehun, nc-17
Becoming step-brothers led to a whole series of games and conquests, but what happens when these come to an end? (baekpercent)
I flipped right after I finished reading it because I realized it’s the Cruel Intentions! AU. Bitch President Oh fits the character perfectly. It’s a complicated story between step-brothers where one dares the other to sleep with the new boy. If he wins, he gets to fuck his step-brother; if he loses, the step-brother gets to take his Aston Martin. However, the new boy seems to be more than just a new toy. I fuckin enjoyed it so much. It’s a kaibaek fic with flirt!sekai.
Primadonna Girls
OT12, pg-13
All they ever wanted was the world and some fucking comfort chocolate. (lunathunderhead/19-blue-roses)
Genderbend!AU. Who would refuse to female exo?? JFC. This immediately made it to my favorite fics just because boobs + tampons + female exo?! + boobs + girl!kris + boobs?!?! Perfect! Kai’s character is the coolest. And I swear, I got a little confused when I read it. I kinda like girls a little too much when it’s exo. Lol (A+ for baekhyun’s bum and sehun’s boobs)
The End Of This Shared History
jongin-centric, r
Jongin is waiting for the odds to be in his favor. A Hunger Games x MAMA MV AU. (windowright)
I love The Hunger Games. I love Jongin. End of story -no but seriously, what I like about this fic is that it used SM’s timeline and I could relate to each subtle side story. It’s amazing how the author came up with this concept in putting how the life of a trainee and a debuted idol is in SME.
A Bicycle Isn’t Just For Riding (Because Sometimes, It Rides You Too)
luhan/everyone, nc-17
Lu Han fucks everyone in EXO because he is the bicycle. PWP. (halcyondusk)
Bicycle!Luhan is one of my favorite flavors of Luhan, lol. Just get your popcorn, take a seat, and enjoy fuckingreading.
Hymns Upon Your Lips
kris/luhan, nc-17
AU. Most of the things about Luhan both amuse and arouse him. It’s part of Luhan’s charm as a boy-faced sex enthusiast. (leadernim/seonbae)
This krishan just gave me all the inappropriate feels. It’s bdsm-ish and ohmygod, just- Luhan doesn’t get tired. THIS IS AN AMAZING KRISHAN FIC ISTG.
Where The Winds Sigh
kris/luhan, nc-17
Prequel to Hymns Upon Your Lips. No one has ever looked at Luhan the way Kris does. (leadernim/seonbae)
I think this is my favorite fic of leadernim. Up until now I want her to write a longer story to their relationship, it’s very interesting. If you read the fic above, it’s obligatory to read this too. The most fitting krishan porn, tbh.
Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down Swinging
sehun/luhan, nc-17
Sehun sells flowers and Lu Han reads way too much manga. (canttakeabreath/gulpsofoxygen)
This is my favorite hunhan fic. For the record, it is my first ever exo fic. I’ve read a couple of hunhan but nothing beats this fic. It’s simple and cute and just full of fluff with no drama needed. There’s also soft porn in the middle and I just- sometimes I enjoy reading top!sehun. It’s the coolest hunhan au tbh. Nothing’s more perfect than florist!sehun and manga addict!luhan meeting each other.
Absolute Chanyeol
baekhyun/chanyeol
(leadernim)
Sadly, this fic is taken down by leadernim. This is the sole reason I am writing exo fics, honestly. She inspired me a lot by this fic. The words she used are really simple and easy to understand yet the whole story still managed to give me complex feelings. I do not ship baekyeol, but I do not ever regret reading this. It’s a legendary fic that’s worth being remembered for a long time.
Eden’s Morning
chanyeol/baekhyun, pg-13
Open up a browser's history and you can read someone's story. (lunathunderhead/19-blue-roses)
It’s a genius fic, what else could I say? The author is brilliant. You have to read this even if you don’t ship baekyeol because you’ll appreciate how the short story was told in a very unique way.
All That We Could
kris/baekhyun, r
HS!AU. But, yeah, Kris is totally not crushing on Byun Baekhyun. (leadernim/seonbae)
Screams! This is totally all sorts of cute because it’s The Kris Wu chasing Byun Baekhyun. So simple yet very satisfying! This is leadernim after all.
Delicate
kris/baekhyun, (platonic) chanyeol/baekhyun, r
Kris finds out that the only thing he needs is exactly the only thing he can't have. (illegiblesigns)
It’s very heartbreaking!!! The issue tackled in this fic is very sensitive, at least for me, and I’m just plainly pulled into the reality of this plot. I remember leaving a monster of a comment just because I couldn’t handle my feelings. I believe the author wrote the best ending for their situation. It’s an overwhelming fic. Really.
Can I Just Alohomora Your Heart For Me?
kai/sehun
(mo_zart)
THE FLUFFIEST SEKAI FIC I HAVE EVER READ. It’s actually in my top favorite sekai fics. (I like a lot of them but I have a few top favorites) HarryPotter!AU with a really adorable squishy fluffy gryffindor Sehun “falling in love” with the cold rude quidditch heartthrob slytherin Jongin. The fic gives me a lot of fluffy feelings, not to mention I don’t appreciate too much fluff but this is never cringe-worthy, it’s just right! The author is also very creative and imaginative, coming up with really unique cute stories (of which mostly contain a bear and a bunny) jsgfjd I really think she’s a genius. It’s an ongoing fic and the only words I can use to describe this are: cute, fluffy, rainbow, clouds, moon, sweet, candies, mushy, cuddles, and a lot lot more. Don’t forget, it’s in the Hogwarts setting!
Our Dirty Little Secret
baekhyun/oc, nc-17
(CFdorks)
If you like reading some Baekhyun in bed, go ahead!
The Trophy
kai/oc, nc-17
(bookwormofkpop)
I’m a sucker for badboy!kai. It’s unhealthy ;~; I think this is well-written. The concept reminds me of 50 Shades of Grey (although I couldn’t say much because I’ve never finished the book) in a different setting. It’s ongoing though, but it’s really intriguing. Car racers!AU is forever welcome. And it’s extra hot with the addition of a suspiciously caring Kris.
They are all remarkable in a way. I have not read much fics, so please do recommend some?
