Ok so I’m gonna post it here because I don’t know if I can ask on ao3. I’m looking for a Yuri!!! on Ice fanfic but can’t remember the name of it. What I do know is that the author said it was (loosely? Based) an AU of a Chinese movie. I remember the AU being about Yuuri getting into a car accident and Victor is a paramedic(?) doctor(?) who goes to pick him up(?) or I guess Yuuri was already in the hospital(?). Then Victor falls in love with him and finds out that Yuuri has some sort of heart disease, won’t live long, and is a bit amnesic and I think his past lover (who is a model) left him.
Victor looks like Yuuri’s past lover so he pretends to be him and because amnesia, Yuuri thinks he’s back with his old lover. I’m mostly looking for the movie this is based on but when I went to look for the fanfic on Ao3 in order to find the movie title, I can’t find the fanfic. So if anyone knows what movie is based on or if the premise sounds familiar let me know.
I will never not reblog this
Accurate.
This is the best post I’ve ever seen

Looks like there’s a lot of fic and art waiting in fandom hell
Oh, so this is why I’m STILL HERE.
I’ve seen this comic for years but just discovered the last panel. GUYS WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT THAT PANEL THERE
You've probably answered this before, but here goes anyway! Which BLs are your absolute top 15? Any country, any pairing, any tropes! I really wanna hear your list :)
Also, top 5 for absolute worst BLs!
Absolute Top 15 Best (and Worst) BLs
To be perfectly honest I hadn't done this yet because I've been patiently waiting for 10 BLs to exist in the universe that i've rated 10/10. It hasn't happened yet so...
Absolute Top 15 BLs
No particular order, these are all my beloved babies.
RATED 10/10
1. Seven Days (Japan 2015)
One of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.
Popular first year Seiryo has a policy of going out with any girl who asks… for one week. On a lark, third year Yuzuru tests to see if that policy also applies to boys. Seiryo agrees that it does. Along the way they accidentally fall in love, although each is convinced the other one thinks it’s just for a week.
Full review here. Last I checked could find it on DramaCool in 2 parts Seven Days: Monday - Thursday, Seven Days: Friday - Sunday)
2. Color Rush (Korea 2021)
A unique paranormal twist elevates this classic high school drama into a pitch-perfect allegory for the queer coming out experience and one of the best BLs of all time (I will fight you on this).
Monos can only see in grey scale, until they meet their probes. But when they do, monos can turn into obsessive monsters over the one person that turns on the world color. When Yeon Woo meets his probe, however, that boy seems a lot more obsessed with him.
Color Rush is on Viki.
3. Light On Me (Korea 2021)
Korea does an elegant pastiche of traditional live action yaoi but all tropes are cleverly deployed to bolster one of the most riveting love triangles ever put on screen… and I don’t like love triangles!
TaeKyung is a bit awkward and introverted and has never really wanted friends, but suddenly he thinks that might have been a bad life choice. So he joins the student council where he meets, among others, two very different boys who both want more than friendship from him.
Light On Me is on Viki.
4. To My Star (Korea 2021)
It’s is a touch quirky to get into, but utterly charming once it hits its stride. This is the ultimate grumpy/sunshine pairing plus the most appealing light-filled kitchen of our dreams.
Famous actor (adorable bundle of neurosis) takes refuge in the house of a reserved chef and is immediately smitten by Mr Tall Dark & Glowering. The chef is also smitten but refuses to admit it to himself or anyone else.
Full review here. To My Star is on Viki.
5. We Best Love 1 & 2 (Taiwan 2021)
WBL is composed of two parts: We Best Love: No 1 for You & We Best Love: Fighting Mr 2nd. The 1st season is a short run classic university set BL combining the best of Korea & Thailand’s modern takes on genre. The 2nd season moves into the office, and employs Japanese style in terms of setting, obsession, and mature concepts. WBL thus successfully managed to pick up and combine the best features of Korean, Thai, and Japanese BL as it exists right now. Couple that to the insane chemistry from the leads, and we have one of the greatest BLs of all time, cooking to a recipe I doubt anyone else will ever be able to replicate since only Taiwan is this flexible.
Story wise it’s pretty classic: Shi De has been in love with Shu Yi since childhood, but Shu Yi has always seen them as rivals. In university, events finally conspire for Shi De to make his move. It’s the ultimate tsundere uke versus the ultimate pining seme. Part two follows them into the workplace after a breakup.
I love this show so much, odds are I’m currently rewatching it as you read this.
6. Until We Meet Again (Thailand 2019)
Thailand’s only entry in my 10/10 category (from the BL mass producer). This is non BL trope reliant fated mates (AKA soulmates) romance that just happens to have the right setting and age of protagonists to fit the BL genre. UWMA is a work of narrative genius, and all the actors all turn in stellar performances, it is the best Thai BL from a storytelling perspective. Possibly the best BL story we’ll ever get. It also takes full advantage of Thailand's signature full treatment, never dragging despite 17 full episodes.
Timid sweetheart Pharm meets older serious Dean on his first day of university and is both irresistibly drawn to him and inexplicably sad. Dean starts an intense slow courtship but they both begin to realize they’ve been through this all before and one of them, 30 years ago in a previous life, made a terrible mistake. Can their current selves survive the sins and betrayals of their past?
UWMA can be seen on YouTube.
7. Semantic Error (Korea 2022)
Korea hits it entirely out of the Parks (pun on the actors’ last names intended) by doing a university set BL with everything we might expect but done exactly right, their signature quality executed perfectly, and added bonus good story, great pacing, and fantastic chemistry. This one is actually flawless. You cannot ask for more from a BL, let alone a KBL.
Talented graphic artist Jaeyoung (emotional agro older seme) discovers Sangwoo has outed him as a slacker which means he’s not graduating this year. He sets out to find out who Sangwoo is and get revenge, accidentally develops a big o’crush. Sangwoo is a morally grounded strict routine based reserved programmer (logical uke) who’s world is entirely shaken by the chaos that is Jaeyoung. I love “the only one who can bully him is me” trope especially when said bully melts into all over whipped for his boy.
Jaeyoung pined like a master. Like Park Seo Ham took lessons from Sam Lin. And Sangwoo crumbles into complete submission like he’s been waiting for Jaeyoung his whole life. It’s an absolute pleasure to watch these two on screen together. (Full review here.)
Semantic Error is on Viki.
These are the only 7 BLs (of over 380 watched & judged) that I've rated 10/10. I consider Absolute BL (Japan 2021) a mocumentary and not a true BL. But I also gave it a 10/10.
But you asked for 15 so here are 8 more (again no particular order).
RATED 9/10
Cherry Magic (Japan 2020) - Japan’s best recent offering, the sweetest fluffiest magical realism BL, packaged as a pinning office romance, very low heat (practically chaste) but the cutest (Indie subbed)
HIStory 2: Crossing the Line (Taiwan 2018) - Taiwan’s best example of classic BL with a sports romance foundation using some of the most prototypical (but fortunately least offensive) yaoi tropes (Viki)
Be Loved In House: I Do (Taiwan 2021) - a cute classy office set BL with a few plot raised eyebrows, but no other concerns, plus ALL THE TROPES and a general sweet softness that’s pretty rare from Taiwan, who usually prefer to go hard (Viki)
A Tale of Thousand Stars (Thailand 2021) - running a close second to UWMA with great casting and cinematography this drama nods at BL tropes but manages to elevate them (and itself) with a strong mature story concept about a spoiled rich kid who gets a heart transplant and becomes a teacher it order to pay out survivor’s guilt (YouTube)
He's Coming to Me (Thailand 2019) - boy and ghost boy fall in love, must solve ghost’s murder. The third in my precious triumvirate of unbeatable Thai BLs, that are only nominally BL because the story, acting, and production values are so good. (Together with UWMA & 1k* and like them it’s on YouTube)
Utsukushii Kare AKA My Beautiful Man (Japan 2021) One of the best most traditionally live action yaoi to release in the last decade. It used seriously old school manga derived problematic and kinky tropes, like whipping boy, for a truly classic piece that also manages to hit up modern themes of communication, consent, and self acceptance. It’s a wonderful BL, uniquely dirty and harsh in the best possible way. (GaGaOOLaLa)
Bad Buddy (Thailand 2022) - GMMTV’s flagship BL started 2022 on a BANG (okay no actual banging but you know what I mean), starring heavy hitters Ohm & Nanon in a pitch perfect university Romeo & Romeo masterpiece that will give you domesticity meets pain whiplash throughout and jet lag at the end. (YouTube)
Lovely Writer (Thailand 2021) - Thailand criticizes itself and the BL industry while simultaneously giving us classic seme/uke in a one-two punch of “we love it, but are we supposed to? and must we think this hard, yet enjoy it SO MUCH?" I recommend you watch this only after you’ve watched the others on this list, you need familiarity with the BL genre to truly understand what’s going on with this show (YouTube)

This is me, the OCD completest, so these are gonna be a bunch of 1/10 rated BLs that no one has (quite rightly) bothered to watch. I also have 15 dnfs to my shame, but I don't rate what I didn't finish so...
You asked for 5, but I happen to have exactly 15 1/10 rated BLs, so you're just getting all of them (no particular order, they all suck, by which I mean: bad story, poor acting, low production, and/or very depressing ending). These all come with all the trigger warnings.

Everybody is talking about Coraline being a terrifying book, and how it scared many of you as a child. It makes me confused because I read it as a child and I wasn’t scared. But I also take into account that the first book I read in English (not my native language) was Coraline. So maybe my lack of English at that time probably made me not scared because I was still learning the language? ( I could speak it but not fluidly)
It makes me want to re-read the book now that I’m an adult and then see if it is scary.

Denzel Washington as Don Pedro Much Ado About Nothing (1993) dir. Kenneth Branagh
So many people are afraid they will be blurting out their deepest darkest secrets when coming out from under anesthesia when in reality they just blurt out random, mostly incomprehensible nonsense. Sometimes funny nonsense. And even if it's comprehensible and funny, we the anesthesia team just have a good laugh at it, then forget. Mostly.
There was this one girl, who kept saying "I need a doctor, I need a doctor, please!" and I was pretty worried what's wrong and was trying to determine if she was hurting etc, until she blurted out in the end: "I need a doctor husband. This shit is awesome!" ...Then proceeded to cry because there were no immediately available doctor husband in the nearby. Hope you find your dream husband, queen
Dang all I did after getting off the anesthesia after surgery was complain about the pain, and give a nurse the stink eye because she wanted me to keep awake and all I wanted to do was sleep
Best team project
