bts fanfics i think shakespeare would enlist himself into the military just to show the boys.
chapter iv. โท chapter vi.
KEYS ON SEVERITY OF SHAKESPEAREโS STATE:
( โฎ ) โ heโs not really thinking about enlisting, is he?
( โฌ )ย โ what do you mean shakespeare shaved his head?.. oh no.
( โ ) โ donโt military bases have security? how the hell did that man get inside?
( โ ) โ heโs proper pulling a cross country right now. the boys look confused. and horrified.
THE SHAKESPEARE SERIES.
WARNING: keep in mind, some of these authors are very strict on the rule that no minors should read their work if theyโre underage, and i will honour that. but, at the end of the day, i am not your parent. so, thereโs that. but heed my warning wisely. any smut or 18+ content is highlighted in bold.
NOTE: dear readers, did you miss me? itโs been a while since iโve shared my secret recommendations with you. but, since the two year anniversary of this special series has recently passed, i thought it was about time i spoiled you again. iโve had quite a while to think about this one. so, i hope youโre ready. letโs give shakespeare something to enlist for.

best friendโs older brother!au, smut (18+), fluff, angst.
bfb! bfb! my best friendโs brother, my friendโs brother! bfb! bfb! my best friendโs brother, my best friendโs brother!
this is one of the BEST seokjin fics iโve ever read. straight to the point but there is no other way to put it. got to the point i would wake up earlier just to read another chapter before work. i was always present, bitch.
alike most of you, as someone who reads A LOT (re: i have no credentials for this, just my mum), i can tell when someone pours their every blood, sweat and tears (ha.) into writing. and for me, this is one of those writers.
this writer really shocked me at how much i connected to this story whilst reading n how attached i felt after finishing. caught me off guard, but so did death to shakespeareโฆ sooo, what can i say.
โitโs been over a decade since that night, and you still don't know if he meant his family, or you.โ dude i wish you couldโve seen my face. lmfao.
letโs just say thereโs a reason this oneโs first. amazed. truly.
( โ ) MOON MAGIC โ by @jincherie
!! hoseok x reader | 33.8k !!
mermaid!au, pirate!au, fluff (like.. teeth rotting).
โand he calls me mooonlight toooooo,โ she sings into the empty crowd with tears in her eyes. she meaning me.
now i know iโm known for having a sweet tooth, but damn! youse are gonna eventually turn me into an elizabethan england commoner. yโknow, the crap dental hygiene n all. (re: shakespeareโs teeth.)
but, you know me. i looooove a good โol fantasy inspired fic, so i guess iโm willing to risk a little here. and this one was worth risking for.
slams hand onto the table. the world building! this writer was not playing around when it came to painting us a picture of the world they wanted to create. i wanna live in this fic iโm not joking. get me in touch with namjoon asap for some of that moon magic shit. ok, rolls credits.
perfect in every single way. this is my first run-in with this writer, but am i swimming (sorry.) my way over to their masterlist? yeeees.
โhe laughs and tells you that, actually, it's probably the youngest three princes that are most beloved by all.โ
yea girl. not on my watch. enjoy!
( โ ) ALL GROWN UP โ by @btsgotjams27
!! jungkook x reader | 64k !!
friends to lovers, older woman/younger man, smut (18+).
the fact this fic was loosely inspired by one of my all-time comfort kdramasโฆ i didnโt even have to question adding it to my list. it felt like i was watching it for the first time againโฆ deeply sighs. ahhh the nostalgiaโฆ
i had this fic bookmarked on my ao3 for the looongest time, but it was only recently that i got round to actually reading it. and iโm so glad i did. bless her, she was waiting for her moment to shine. and itโs now.
youngest kids in the family please raise your hands! all in attendance! you are welcome and appreciated here. the feeling of desperation, trying to get people to see you as your current age rather than the little kid theyโll forever remember. i think thatโs why i loved this fic so much: i could relate to it.
alike this story, most fics on here are on the older side of things. but honestly, if itโs good and genuine, itโll last forever. no matter how much time has gone by. feelings stay - perhaps even grow?
the same for our adorable pair over here. could time play in their favour?
you let me know when you finish it.
( โฎ ) ALIVE AHA FXCK โ by @softyoongiionly
!! vampire!yoongi x human!reader | 42k !!
vampire!au, smut (18+), soulmate!au (you know i had to), please read the trigger warnings.
devoured. no pun intended. though other vampire synonyms include but are not limited to: consumed, ate, guzzled, feasted etcโฆ thank you google, after a few questionable internet searches.
i cannot tell you how glad i am that shakespeare never wrote about vampires. cuz he wouldโve written my ass into that damn thing and killed me off from the things iโve said about that guy. and the things i will continue to sayโฆ
i love this fic on a personal level. it reminds me of being fourteen again, curled up in my sheets as the sun reaches the tip of my windowsill and the morning chill settles in after a night of fighting sleep to finish a fanfic. itโs safe - iโm safe.
i genuinely had so much fun reading this story. the characterisation of both the reader and yoongi is so unhinged and playful and iโm obsessed. if i could recommend it to anyone, it would be my younger self cuz i know sheโd love it :,). n she did!
yโknow, sometimes you just gotta read a silly - infused with twilight puns - vampire-themed yoongi fic for the world to feel alright again.
and it did - for me. n now - for you.
( โ ) OLDER โ by @lovieku
!! dilf!jk x inexperienced!reader | 18.2k !!
smut (18+), dilf!au, best friendโs father, age gap.
pure, undeniable and utter filth. in the best fuckinโ way possible. yea, if you could crawl into my mind, plunge into the inky depths of whatever lurks there.. this is what youโd find lying on the sand floor. unadulterated sin.
i am so disgustingly obsessed with this fic i canโt explain it, hence why itโs ended up on my shelf of recommendations. it scratches and pleases a deep, desperate itch in my brain. maybe itโs the age gap, who knows?
this writer has a talent for making us - or, me. - claw at something forbidden in an almost hungry advance. the sinner doing the sinning. and goddamn, iโm impressed. n i bet shakespeare is too. well, he fuckinโ better be.
the characters are imperfect and selfish and lustful, but oh my god i love them. add on dilf!jk with his slutty, unbuttoned shirts and you have me sold.
@lovieku you are such an amazing writer. you have such a way with how you express. do not underestimate that. i am beyond excited to see your future works :)
masterpiece. but what the fuck was that ending.
( โ ) HABITS OF A CLANDESTINE NATURE โ by @alphabetboyluvr
!! college!jk x female!oc | 16k !!
rich!jk, waitress!oc, enemies to lovers, smut (18+).
he got, he got away! he got away! he got away! heโs got a way, heโs got a way! awayyyyheyeyyyyheyyy! yea, but didnโt manage to escape a 460-year-old poet, nor me.. so..
clementines, fruit trees, the sound of innocent laughter, wind chimes, a sheer blur of colour, soft hands. things that come to mind whenever i am reminded of this fic. a solid and beautiful depiction of hurt and love and everything in between.
this writer knew straight off the bat how to sell this pair to the audience. how to capture us and string us along for the journey of two hurting, longing and hurting all over again. shakespeare bought the hanging fruit thatโs for damn sureโฆ me too then, perhaps.
the vision for this story is perfect to me. i almost want to give the writer a kiss on the forehead.
i did write down one quote; used from the story. a way to sum it all up. โthe perfect place to get lost. the perfect place to get found, too.โ
if youโre looking for somewhere to get lost, i hope this satisfies that need. i also hope i come back to read this every once in a while. for old times sake. to get found again.

!! brother in law!jungkook x widow!reader | 32k !!
forbidden love!au, smut (18+), angst.
โit began to lose its meaning. healing. as if it were somethingโa destination you could stumble upon.โ oh, donโt even talk to me. people died. shakepeare died. april 23rd 1616.
god, this story is just so raw in and of itself - perfectly depicting the human experience of love and loss. inevitable and sometimes unexpected. i was - n still remain - in awe.
i crossed by this fic unexpectedly and iโm so glad that whatever butterfly effect led me to finding this succeeded, but damn that action also had consequencesโฆ like real badโฆ hahaโฆ.
i want to cry every time this fic crosses my mind. dramatic? lil bit. but when you read it, holy shit - this will make sense to you youngโuns. in due time.
well, to be even more dramatic as suchโฆ my wounds from reading this are still fresh (i will sob donโt test me), so i hand the torch over to you to make of this story what you will.
please go into this fic with no expectations. go in willingly and justโฆ fall into it. i will be on the other side when you resurface and i will definitely say something ironic.
like i told you so. xx.
( โ ) CALLING PRODUCER MIN YOONGI โ by @bangtan-dreamland
!! yoongi x reader | 4.6k !!
strangers to lovers, just fluff all around.
now this is the bitch i aspire to be. dials random ass numbers of random ass strangers just to yap. oh yea, thatโs my kinda girl. i just hope she knows sheโs the coolest person ever to exist to me. i want to buy a star for her. a big, bright one.
i think i have said this before, but never ever underestimate the power of a drabble. a short fic of little can hold the weight of ten times that amount. especially this one (which i read that long ago but has ultimately ended up here - says it all tbh).
this fic is everything and more to me. i miss it when iโm not reading it, and i miss it when itโs right in front of me. it has me wanting to ring up random people in hopes of meeting my true love - which i wonโt, but who knows what might happen?
also, to point out - the immense chemistry between these characters is off the charts. felt like i was intruding on my own phone call.
good dialogue? tick. amazing characterisation? tick. interesting plot? tick. has shakespeare wanting to never learn how to use a phone in case he puts this fic to shame? tick.
lol.
( โ ) THE LOVE PROGNOSIS โ by @awrkive
!! surgeon!jk x surgeon!reader | 90.9k !!
roommates!au, medical!au, smut (18+), fluff.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. aaaand scene!
can i be honest? yโall stress me the fuck out! and you know who you are! starts with โjโ ends with โkโ. the other one being โsโ ends with โeโ. but one of you i like more and itโs not you, shakespeare.
the time it took me to finish this insanely crafted three-parter was embarrassingly short. (i think i formed a dent in my bed). so when i finished i was - obviously - heartbroken, so i did what every sane person does. i read all the drabbles. aaaand the tlp social media extras. and listened to the playlist. and cried. duh.
whilst all the fics on here deserve their own kdrama, i feel this one would ruin me completely. itโs weightlifting fairy kim bok joo all over again. itโs potential is there. like, cโmon screenwriters. i know you want to. or just pay me to do it.
the characters, the yearning, the friendship - immediately gets flashbacksโฆ - tenโs across the board!
@awrkive is one to look out for. for real. i - along with everyone else here - will be tuning in. full volume.
oh yea, whilst weโre all still here. fuck that other guy. you know who you are! (no spoilers here).
( โ ) LETโS GET QUIZZICAL โ by @taleasnewastime
!! jimin x f!reader | 28.6k !!
friends to lovers, angst, smut (18+).
soooooโฆ what iโm hearing is.. we all werenโt aware flo ridaโs stage name is just florida with a space..? right? right.? cuz when you say it like that..
having been a victim of multiple pub quizzes in my past (havenโt won - yet!) the dialogue in this story was fucking perfect and scary real, depicting the anxiety, thrill and pure adrenaline running through your body as you rack your brain of every dumb fact youโve ever read and hope itโs made a home somewhere up there.
not to mention you gotta trust your teammates like your life depends on it - cuz it fuckinโ does. n park jimin being one of them? the rest of the teamsโฆ yโall better not even bother showing up atp.
i thought the manor of the story being told through its settings was.. a slice of genius. so so cool and helped set the tone too. every time we transported back to the quiz i clutched my pearls in sheer relief.
also, i wish i couldโve highlighted angst in bold cause damn! you really hit us round the head with that one. and ofc i loved it, but damn. take notes, shakespeare. we donโt have to be killing characters off to ruin mkโs life. hm?
nothing less than spectacular from our @taleasnewastime.
( โฌ ) TRICKS OF THE TRADE โ by @stutterfly
!! yoongi x reader | 24.1k !!
body swap!au, soulmates!au (you know me), smut (18+), humour.
peers down through speckled glasses, whatโs next..? โฆoh god. sighs heavily and licks pen.
so i knew from the moment i read โbody swapโ within the tags that this concept was gonna be so fuckinโ weird but so damn good. and low n behold, it didnโt disappoint. luckily i am a lover of fuckinโ weird.
this concept is so difficult to write. the foreign sensation of a different body and trying to channel each thought n emotions involved is complicated to convey, but this author did it so incredibly well.
also, not to be that personโฆ but that smutโฆ iโm gonโ be sleeping soooo well tonight letโs just say that lmfao. 100/10. might go back n read it when iโm done with this.
blushingโฆ X
shakespeare couldnโt even fathom a story such as this - and weโre talking about the guy who once wrote about an incestuous relationship between a king and his daughter.
crazy work. you are so cool @stutterfly.
( โ ) TRIVIA LOVE โ by @luxekook
!! namjoon x reader | 5.4k !!
non idol!au, smut (18+).
to quote myself from my reblog on feb 26 2020, โwhy was i smiling the whole way throughout this??โ n you know what? hell yea i still stand by that!
this is the second pub quiz fic i have within this chapter (surprisingly, but not disappointing), but the circumstances cannot be more different.
the first group i would join, perhaps even rally with a little. but if iโm ever attending a pub night and these mother fuckers are in tow, best believe iโm leaving. theyโre not ones to fuck with yo. they have $20 to win. they mean war.
since weโre at the end, and iโm 100% convinced nobody is still reading these, sooooโฆ i can speak my truth. someone get me on joonโs lap. you gonโ be calling me cinderella cuz itโs gonna fit perfectly by midnight bro. on the dot.
this is - n will always be - a classic to me. one that i will always return to eventually. i can dress up all i want with these big fics, but these smaller ones are always a guilty pleasure.
like cinderella returning to her mice friends (or whatever), i will always come back to @luxekook and their stories.
forever xoxo.
