Growl For Me

Title: Growl For Me by MitchMatchedSocks

Pairing: Kris/Sehun, Side!Kyungsoo/Kai, Side!Baekhyun/Chanyeol, Side!Kai/Sehun

Genre: ABO!AU, College!AU, Smut

Rating: NC-17

Warnings: Violence, Humiliation, Rough Sex

Length: Oneshot (~27,000 words)

Summary: As an alpha, Sehun isn't supposed to submit to anyone. His own instincts make the very idea seem repulsive, but a conversation with Jongin makes him curious, and the arrival of a new alpha in the house has him craving things he shouldn't.

Thoughts: a fresh take on abo!au (and all of its implications) that is masterfully done (note: i would advise you not to read this fic if homophobia/sexism is very triggering to you.)

Another nod. “Is it weird?”

“No, Jongin,” Kyungsoo can’t help his smile, “I want that, too.”

‘Twas My Own Heart

Title: ‘Twas My Own Heart by mayangel7

Pairing: Xiumin/Suho

Genre: Royalty!AU (Goong!AU), ArrangedMarriage!AU

Rating: R

Summary: Minseok has always imagined brighter futures and clearer skies outside the palace walls. He spends so much time looking out that he almost misses the opportunities of happiness just an arm's length away. (Goong!AU)

Thoughts: this story is more of a realistic take on the royalty arranged marriage trope (i.e. less drama), and it was very refreshing.

Unwritten

Title: Unwritten by unniebee

Pairing: Kris/Lay/Baekhyun

Genre: Sci-Fi, Polyamory, Alien!AU, ABO!AU, Smut

Rating: NC-17

Length: Chaptered (Completed) (~84,000 words)

Summary: On a planet that has no plants, Baekhyun suddenly acquires one.

Thoughts: this fic is pure genius. the plot, the world-building, the relationship dynamics-- i genuinely can’t understand how one person can be so creative and talented. props to unniebee for one of the best fics i’ve ever read. this is a true must-read, regardless of whether or not you like the pairing.

Above in the open sky and down in the desert

Title: Above in the open sky and down in the desert by aprilclash

Pairing: Chen/Sehun

Genre: Genie!AU, PWP

Rating: NC-17

Warning: mentions of sex workers

Length: Oneshot (~12,500 words)

Summary: Of course, Sehun didn't like the idea of stealing from a warlock. Not-exactly-a-warlock, Junmyeon had said, but someone who deals with magic is a dangerous someone and Sehun had not spent the past twenty years steering away from danger the best he could only to start beef with someone who could potentially fry his ass if things turned sour (and they would turn sour, eventually).

Or, Sehun is a terrible liar and Jongdae is a very good one.

Thoughts: gorgeous writing, comes off as beautifully intricate (but that might just be due to the nonlinear timeline)

Goodbye To A World

Title: Goodbye To A World by TBA in forkadionly

Pairing: Kyungsoo/Kai, slight!Xiumin/Chen

Genre: SpiritedAway!AU, Romance, Fantasy

Rating: PG-13

Length: Oneshot (~8,000 words)

Summary: What if Jongin had never remembered his origins? What if Jongin had never returned to where he belonged? 

Thoughts: a simple, straightforward read, but still very beautiful. jongin and kyungsoo’s quiet romance was very real to me.

dry like sparks

Title: dry like sparks by anita_dee in chenandluhan

Pairing: Luhan/Chen

Genre: Fantasy, Royalty!AU, Smut

Rating: NC-17

Length: Oneshot (~8,800 words)

Summary: “If you want me to do something for you,” the demon explains, his hands full of lightning bolts. “Then there’s something you must to for me first.”

Thoughts: really nice??? there was a nice combination of everything (world-building, angst, fluff, /coughs/ smut) and jongdae was also very captivating as a character

[favoriteexofics]

Ever After

Title: Ever After by sparklepox in seokmonsters

Pairing: Xiumin/Luhan

Genre: Angst, Slice of Life, Fantasy, Romance

Rating: PG-13

Warning: major character death (but there's life after death so it's okay)

Length: Twoshot (20,264 words)

Summary: Life and death separate Minseok and Lu Han, and it's up to love to bring them back together.

Thoughts: this is one of the best xiuhan fics i have ever read (and there are a lot of really, really great ones out there). i know that you might be wary of the angst tag (which you should be bc i cried like no other) but honestly, this fic is so heart-warming that it’s worth it.
