It's here, the giving season! And while I love advent calendars and already have one for coffee and one for chocolate, I thought what about one for fics? Though I won't be writing, no - I'll be reviewing and recommending wonderful treats!
You'll get juicy suggestions, and our lovely writers will get some love for Christmas! And at the end? I will post a bitey gift :p
How does it work?
Every day, I'll reblog this post and add a card with the fic of the day - I'll give some details, a quote, and a fleeting thought. The selection is based on what I've read this year that got my attention, 1 author a day, multiple AUs and tropes! (check the warnings for the fics individually!)
I hope you check them, and if you do, don't forget to show them some love ✨💜
🎄Here we have it, folks! You'll find every suggestion in the list below:🎄
The Demon Is In The Details by @colormepurplex2
Demon!Jimin x f.Reader / Crossroads AU / angst, smut
"You’re now mine forever, little mouse."
⟢ So absolutely delicious how one mistake changes everything, not just for some silly humans, but also for a demon who thought nothing could surprise him anymore! [my review]
——✨Bonus! Beware The Thorns✨
Yoongi x Jungkook x Jimin x f.Reader / Mafia, Step-Sibling AU / Taboo, angst, smut
"There is only one thing left standing in our way, angel."
⟢ I have no excuses - this is potentially the most indulging, deviant, steaming hot fic I've ever read! It lives in my mind rent-free, thanks Leah! [my review]
Sweet by @oddinary4bts
idol!Seokjin x f.Reader / Idol post Military AU / angsty, smut
It feels like, maybe, you were his all this time too.
⟢ There are so many sweet things about this story: the way that Jin thinks and feels, that he apologizes and expresses regret, that OC is believable and well-rounded, that they both take a chance, and make a decision, not because of a momentary lapse of judgement, but out of genuineness... It's a little treasure! [my review]
✨Bonus! To Give a Helping Hand✨
Idol!Jungkook x f.Reader / Idol AU / smut
He’d be feral with you – he’s feral just thinking about you.
⟢ I don't think this fic needs introductions, and I have reblogged it before, but still, couldn't keep myself from mentioning it again! [my review]
Effet Mer by @spideyjimin
Jungkook x f.Reader / Healing AU / angsty, smut
Hot sex with Jungkook in Nazaré is a combo you never thought you needed.
⟢ There. Is it a spoiler? Potentially. Do you all need to read about what goes down? Absolutely! [my review]
The Price by @daechwitatamic
Yoongi x Hunter!f.Reader / Snow White AU / angst, smut
Maybe you do love him. You just can’t forget - not for a second - how little it matters.
⟢ Unhappy ending? Nonsense! It hurts just a little - just right - just perfect. [my review]
✨Bonus! Of Ruin✨
Prince!Taehyung x f.Reader / Supernatural AU / mystery, fantasy, smut
"Even when I think I’ve seen the true measure of you - you surprise me again and again."
⟢ This is one of the best stories I've ever set my eyes on. It's compelling, rattles you to your bones, and you'll be thinking about it for eons! READ IT! [my review]
The Taste of Sin by @shadowkoo
Taehyung x f.reader / Warlock/Witch AU / angst, smut
This is exactly why they say to never mix business with pleasure. It makes such a mess of things.
⟢ Woah, this was intense! The warnings and things made me approach this with so much caution, only to be swept off my feet! [my review]
Spin Cycle by @miscelunaaa
Jungkook x f.Reader / Uni AU / slow burn, strangers to lovers, smut
He’s never going to complain about a girl having sweater paws while wearing his hoodie.
⟢ I read this by the pool side with a glass of wine and couldn't put it down. It's such an easy, good read! Also, confession: I forgot it had smut! And it's good too! I guess the story just really is that good! [my review]
Lifeline by @downbad4yoongi
Namjoon x f.Reader / First responder AU / brother's bf, smut
I won’t break…but it never hurts to try.
⟢ Wait, hold up, time out - can we just talk about how hot this fic is? But first, let's address how the propelling event of this story is the bane of every woman's existence. [my review]
Protecting the Bloodline by @kth1
Prince!Hoseok x Human!f.Reader / Vampire AU / angst, smut, royal
Little dove… In a world full of twisted beings, how have you turned into such a kind woman?
It's so hard to find words to describe this story... It's both incredibly beautiful and so full of pain, that I just... I'll start by recommending it. [my review]
Vigilant(e) by @yoongihan
Lawyer!Yoongi x Prosecutor!f.Reader / Law AU / angst, smut, secrets
We can’t be casual.
When I started reading this, I had no idea where it was going, but it turned out to be a perfect light read to swoon over Min Yoongi. [my review]
Of Crowns and Daggers by @mrsparkjimin18
Prince!Jiminx Princess!f.Reader / Arranged marriage AU / royal, angst, smut
We’re not so different, you and I.
⟢ I really like royal AUs, but add a sprinkle of plotting, inner conflict, and romance, and the combination is an absolute delight. [my review]
Bewitching by @taegularities
Prince!Jungkook x Human!f.Reader / Vampire AU / angst, smut
I think… falling in love with you was– was inevitable anyway. But the fear…
I blush every time I read this. It's such a perfect blend of deep, maddening love and fear... of overpowering longing... It's achingly gorgeous. [my review]
Jealousy by @mikrokosmoslove
Namjoon x f.Reader / FWB AU / f2l, fwb, angst, smut
Yeah, but that also means it ends when one of us starts dating!
I didn't expect this entry, but when I read it, it automatically clicked for me—fwb is a sweet downward spiral. We all know how it ends and still fall for it every time. [my review]
Timeless Rhythm by @bratzkoo
time lord! hoseok x archaeologist! reader / Adventure AU / mystery, romance, fluff
The rest, as they say, was history. Or perhaps, in your case, it was the future.
Woah, this was so different and refreshing! Going on such adventures always risks the timeline, but we wouldn't have it any other way! [my review]
Wicked As They Come by @caelesjjk
vampire!yoongi x reporter! f reader / Fake dating AU / romance, smut
Don’t forget who you’re talking to with that smart fucking mouth, little monster.
I'm here to discredit this author - this is not just mostly porn - this is mostly awesome porn with a sprinkle of feelings - and our asshole vampire Yoongi doesn't do feelings 😏 [my review]
Safe Haven by @kth1fics
Werewolf!Jimin x Princess!f.Reader / Supernatural AU / royal, shifters, angst, smut
He does the things he does because he loves you.
This story is absolutely endearing, with a perfect sprinkle of sacrifice, lifelong love, and perfectly timed confessions 💜 [my review]
Angel by @sailoryooons
Mafia!Yoongi x Sex worker! F. reader / Mafia AU / Semi-established relationship, smut, fluff
I need you to do whatever it is you need to do to protect yourself.
As far as Mafia AUs are concerned, this fic is the standard. If I had to choose a top, this would be in the top three, at least. If I had to choose a perfect Yoongi, you know it—this one would be it. [my review]
Fists and a Smart Mouth by @pars-ley
Namjoon x (f)reader / Cowboy au / E2L, angst, smut
I can assure you, I'm more of a 'violence is the answer' type person, in case that wasn't obvious already.
Ouf, this was a hard pick (because all Ley's stories are great), but it was also super easy. Of course, I didn't choose it because it features Namjoon. I chose it because the mystery takes its time to unravel, revealing a gripping plot until the end. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Red thread of fate✨
Vampire!Seokjin x human!(f)reader / Soulmates au / Angst, fluff, smut
Does listening to my heart not make you thirsty?
It's not often that a vampire fic delves not only into themes of fate but also into selfless, boundless love, and this story is one of those with an interesting catch within it. [my review]
Alpha by @borathae
Alpha Dom!Jungkook x f. Omega sub!Reader / ABO au / E2L, angst, smut
We really shouldn’t be doing this, fuck, this shouldn’t happen.
Step aside while I shamelessly drool all over this piece of indulgent heaven. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Bonded✨
Alpha Dom!Jungkook x f. Omega sub!Reader / Arranged Marriage au / E2L, angst, smut
I just needed to know that this wouldn’t be lost forever.
The way I consumed this sequel. When I finished reading Alpha, I didn't know what could happen next, and this direction surprised me. [my review]
The Surface by @moni-logues
prince merman!Hoseok x sea witch!reader / The Little Mermaid AU / angst, smut
You could bend reality, but that didn’t mean you always saw it clearly. The heart had tricks of its own.
Can you imagine how excited I was when I saw a Little Mermaid retelling? And then realized I'd be the sea witch? Fuck yeah! [my review]
Saudade by @chateautae
idol!taehyung x choreographer!reader / Secret relationship AU / angst, smut
I was doing it for you! The reason was all for you, for us!
It's always interesting for me when authors use words native to me to describe feelings that are not translatable - like saudade. So yes, I had to read what Taehyung was up to, and I was not disappointed [my review]
The Creamed Pie by @moccahobi
Succubi!Seokjin x human!reader / Demon AU / slow burn, angst, fluff
If you're trying to live like a human, you're failing.
This story is such a spark of fun! Everything, from the lore to the characters, the relationships, the name of the shop, the quips and the way it doesn't take itself seriously -- until it does. [my review]
——✨Bonus! Amor Erratur✨
Yoongi x reader / Dystopian AU / angst
Oh how he would love to be married to her.
This story is set in a dystopian world, and it is so out of the ordinary and unique not just because of the world-building but because of Yoongi. [my review]
Seven Days by @hisunshiine
nurse!jungkook x teacher!reader / FWB AU / age gap, angst, smut
Every hour, every minute, every second, he’s in love with you.
As soon as I read the summary, not only did I think it was a clever idea for a series and someone had to do it, but I also knew I'd end up feeling very personally about it. [my review]
Oath in the Moonlight by @jamaisjoons
crown prince!namjoon x cursed maiden!reader / Soulmates AU / fantasy, angst, smut
Because I no longer want just one night. Not if it’s with you.
This is such a rich, fulfilling story, with captivating worldbuilding, dramatic twists, and lots of love. [my review]
I suppose this is what people call a Christmas miracle.
I had to leave the most Christmassy fic I've read for the end. Leave it to none other than the Queen to make a new classic filled with drama and plot twists.[my review]
Down Bad by me 💜
Vampire!Jimin x human(f)reader / Soulmate AU / angst, smut
Kissing you was not on the agenda, and it threw him off. How the fuck was he supposed to let go of you now?
I can't review my own fic, but this is my gift to you 🥰🎁✨
genre : written (40k words), best friend's brother
summary : You can count on two things in life. One: that your lifelong best friend Minji will always be there for you, in your corner, your brightest star. Two: that you'll never be free from her older brother Seokjin's orbit - the gravitational pull is just too strong.
beside you by @heewnss (ft. jimin) (M)
genre : smau, idol!au
summary : he’s bad for you. from the commitment issues to the endless scandals. sworn to never settle down… well, that’s until he sees how happy you can be without him. now he’s willing to do anything to keep from losing you to your so-called ‘perfect boyfriend’.
the other side by @alpacaparkaseok
genre : written (17k words), idol!jin, assistant!oc, soulmates!au
summary : Choi Haneul knows better than anyone how to survive a soulmate encounter: first, get them into separate rooms. Second, call 911 if there are no soulmate assistants present. Thanks to a degree in soulmate studies and working as a soulmate assistant for her old university, she’s now in the top 10 of applicants looking for a job with Bighit entertainment. Hoping to gain a position as a traveling soulmate assistant with TXT and increase her chances of finding her soulmate somewhere out in the world, Haneul has no idea what she’s gotten herself into when she’s interviewed for BTS instead.
made up love song by @floralseokjin (M)
genre : written (101k words) (damn), s2l, single dad!jin, ceo!jin, teacher!reader
summary : Your first encounter with Kim Seokjin doesn’t go so well, nor your second, or your third… and maybe that’s because it shouldn’t work on paper. You’re an elementary school teacher living with your best friend, and have never left the country despite hitting the third decade of your life not so long ago. He’s the dad of one of your students, nearly a decade older than you and divorced. Oh yes, and just another minor detail – he’s a multimillionaire.
Your lives are lightyears apart, yet somehow, your paths having now crossed, things just seem to fall into place…
ONE SHOTS
winter solace by @floralseokjin (M)
genre : written (27k words), s2f2l, neighbours!au
summary : After a difficult few months (and years), a fresh start in a new city is both equal parts thrilling and terrifying, but you’re determined to make it work. It’s just you and your dog-sized cat Nox, ready to take on the world. Of course along the way there are ups, and there are downs. The main down being you’re short on cash after the big move, unable to spend Christmas with your family. The main up is your kind and thoughtful neighbour who offers to celebrate the holiday with you, despite not being a fan of it himself…
flower boy by @jeonstudios
genre : written (1k words), s2l, valentines!au, florsit!jin
summary : on valentine’s day, everyone seems to visit the little flower shop across the street from your café. and so do you.
