three recs (gdragon/top, top/daesung)
Hi, and long time no see. Here are a few quick recs.
happy together | gdragon/top | lovelyable | r
I'm a huge Wong Kar Wai fan, so I was happy to see a fic loosely based on this premise. I understand that many people are tired of dramatic GTOP in fic, but as a reader, a good portrayal of that type of relationship between them still pushes my buttons. This fic is different enough from the movie that I don't get bored while reading it. As always, lovelyable's prose is good - the short paragraphs, the almost colloquial narration - work so well with the subject. Now that I think about it, the reason I enjoy the "fuck and fight" dynamic in this fic is because it isn't overdone. It's definitely dramatic, and a little bit painful, but it's never overdone due to the stylistic choices made. I'm hoping to see this fic completed.
i am become death | gdragon/top, past top/daesung and gdragon/seungri | butterflyweb | nc-17
Speaking of WIPs, this is another I'm really hoping gets finished. I can't say enough about butterflyweb's ability to build a good universe. It's always immersive without being overly-detailed, so that even the most typically ficced AU's are incredibly appealing. This installment of the fic is quite eerie, a nice change from pairing-centric fic. I read this fic and I can feel the suffocating sensation of pulling a tube out of my throat, the confusion of waking up in a completely empty hospital, curling in on myself from the confusion and the fight to keep walking, to keep running even as my muscles don't want to cooperate. Anyway, I don't want to wax too poetic - I'm just a big fan of zombie!fic and re-reading this for the rec was still a treat. :)
should be me | top/daesung, one-sided gdragon/daesung | twobees | pg-13
I love Jiyong's voice in this fic. It's more contemplative than I'm used to reading him, and yet he would be the type to notice little details like how Daesung wouldn't put his feet on anyone else's legs, or the different ways Seunghyun's mouth moves and what they mean. I love that the smallest touch of Seunghyun and Daesung's legs makes him almost feel ill, the low-key interactions between Seunghyun and Daesung that are such a contrast to their fanservice and yet feel completely natural. What I like the most is that we're seeing this quiet, more introspective Jiyong: it's a side of him that, in my opinion, isn't explored too often.
