hey, do you read fic at all? i was wondering if you had any recs, i feel like i don't see you interact with fic a lot on here! i love your stories, so wondered what are your favorite authors too :]
Hello! The short answer to this is yes, but it comes with the caveat that I haven’t read much lately, primarily because I have no time but also because now that my characters are getting more and more fleshed out with every fic, reading other fanfic feels like my members are cheating on their OCs 😕 (I read this really good Namjoon fic where he met the reader at a party, and spent a whole week imagining Namjoon cheating on Kaya with that Y/N and it kind of killed me)
Having said that, I still do read fics when I can, definitely those that don’t interfere in my head with my OCs. I’m joining collabs and book clubs as much as I can so that I read more; but in the meantime I’d love to recommend some of my favourite fics and authors to you and any other readers:
(Please read the warnings on each fic before proceeding)
1. Poetry of the Stars by @jjiimin: This is the best fic I have read my entire life (barring one legendary series in the HP fandom - iykyk) and I honestly have nothing else to say about it. Riley has unfortunately deactivated her Tumblr account but I’m so glad I got to tell her how incredible her story was before she did so, so this is my number one. It’s 25K+ words iirc and was one of the first fics I read in the fandom and I just read it all in one go because I couldn’t stop.
(Also a favourite is Irresistible by the same author but I unfortunately don’t have a link to it)
2. @sahmfanficbts: There’s no fic mentioned here because I recommend Sam’s entire masterlist. She’s one of my all time favourite authors in the fandom and I have read and will read every single BTS fic she ever posts. Every fic is so immersive and every character is so deeply developed that they just stay with me and I find myself thinking about them at random times. Just beautiful, fantastic writing.
3. The Rich Man’s Crochet Club series by @kpopfanfictrash: Funny, quippy dialogue is my absolute favourite thing and this series has some of the best combination of humour and heart. Shanna’s works are pretty popular so you may have already checked this one out but I’m gonna recommend it anyway. (I remember coming on anon to gush about it because I was shy af, but I absolutely loved it, Shanna :))
4. Four Seven Eight by @jiminrings: This is the one I’ve read most recently and I’ve had it in my drafts since then so that I don’t forget to write a review because it deserves a great one. So here’s my apology to Hannah for taking so long to do it 🤓 but this is an amazing series, full of angst and hope and has my recommendation for sure.
5. For The Crown by @chimknj: I don’t read mxm fics, particularly mxm smut, but there was no way on earth I was going to pass on this one. Gina and I share an obsession with A Song of Ice and Fire (and I mean OBSESSION - we talk about it 24x7) and the premise of this fic was so compelling and so exciting to discuss that the only thing better than that was actually reading it. The way Gina has written this - I was transported to Westeros instantly. Everything is subtle and nuanced and I found myself connecting with every single character (also Kingsguard!Namjoon was not something I knew I needed). Idk if she’s planning on writing future parts but if she is… fuck, I’m so excited I can’t even talk about it.
6. A Silent Heart Still Beats by @akinnie75: This is another fic I have in my drafts because its review deserves my entire attention. It deals with some difficult topics but is so sad yet hopeful. The OC is such a beautiful character inside and out and this doesn’t usually happen to me with fics, but she actually changed my life and taught me how to rise above, be compassionate and forgive. I won’t give away anymore but this is just a gorgeous, gorgeous fic.
7. Just Practice by @lamourche: I can’t BELIEVE I’ve finally found this fic again!!! I read it once and then lost it (now I realise it’s because the author has seemingly removed their masterlist) but I’d commented on it from my main blog. It is one of my favourite fics of all time: it reads like a college indie movie or like a Sally Rooney novel. I was crying at the end but I couldn’t even put my finger on what it was which just meant that it was the entire vibe of the story rather than a specific scene. It breaks my heart that I’ll never get to read this again but the author has all my appreciation and gratitude for writing it.
These are some recs off the top of my head that have stayed with me and I’ll probably add to this if I think of more. A huge thank you to all these authors for their wonderful work - and thanks to you too, anon, for the question. It felt great to go back to old fics and give a shout out to such talented writers <3
hii!! I was wondering if you could help me find a fic....it was a taehyung x reader, tae and the reader are best friends but the reader's brother k*lls tae's sister..?but it turns out that the k*ller is actually someone else.
🌷 You’re probably referring to Poetry of the Stars by @jjiimin? But it seems their account is password-protected.
hii! do you think you could help me find a fic? it was one 55k words long piece, but tumblr crashed while I was reading it 🥺 reader had a crush on jk and was housemates with him and the other members, as well as olivia, who jk was crushing on. reader met jimin at a party and found out he was going to move in and they started a friends with benefits thing. I didn’t get any further than that 😭 thank you so much!!
🌷 Hi! This is Irresistible by @jjiimin but they put their blog on private. You can message them on their side blog. There've been other asks looking for the writer and how to find them.
update: the blog is temporarily? available so please check their masterlist. Feel free to leave them nice thoughts and messages about the fic too. ❤️
Uhm hi, actually Im a complete stranger to u but I was looking for Riley, meaning @jjiimin I saw a lot of asks about them on your blog so I thought u know her. So that's how I found u. I feel like I almost searched for her blog around all of Tumblr ig 😅 (not really but it feels that way) but I couldn't find her. I follow her, and around an hour ago, I got a notif saying she has uploaded a post but I tried opening it, the page kept loading but never appeared and so I thought there was some problem with Tumblr so I checked my wifi connection and it was perfect, I even unfollowed her and went as far as reinstalling the app (and then I searched all over for her) but it still didn't work. So do u know anything about all of this? She just disappeared all of a sudden 🥺😭 I miss her already 😭😭 pls help dis lonely person who misses @jjiimin ಥ‿ಥ
🌷 Hi! I am not sure but there have been other accounts that appear that way. I'm guessing the account is either shadowbanned or I don't know how tumblr messed up with their page. Sometimes Riley will fix the blog so it will appear unavailable (hence the previous asks about her page missing)
Let's hope the account gets fixed soon 🤞. I also saw this post by Riley using her other sideblog.
hello! I'm looking for a jimin x reader fic that I read on here a while ago but cant find anymore no matter how much I look, in it jimin and mc were best friends who loved each other but mc was oblivious and i think it was set around the new year time bc it started w mc sayinf her resolution is to get jimin a gf and then mc starts dating this guy who comes over to cook her food but jimin refuses to leave the apartment ans instead waits in mcs room for her date to finish, the guys shes dating makes her seafood or something but diesnt know that shes allergic so jimin has to come and save her when she reacts badly to the food, a few other details I can remember are that mc ans the guy shes dating have a huge argument in a car which results in the guy ditching her on the side of the road and jimin has a cat named juju he constantly overfeeds, mc tries setting jimin up w someone from her work as well, that's all!! I hope u know it and thank u!!!!!! for all the hard work u do on this blog, its insanely helpful and I'm sure very taxing
🌷 Hello! This is a fic by @jjiimin but it seems they deactivated. 🥺 I was reserving a special day to read their latest Taehyung fic ㅠㅠ. But I checked some of their fics are still on AO3! Unfortunately, the one you're looking for "This Isn't How It Was Supposed To Go" hasn't been uploaded yet 🥺
.
UPDATE: author's back! probably just a glitch earlier? 👀. You can find the fic here
hii, hope you're doing well! <3
i'd like to recommend an author @jjiimin , their fics are absolutely beautiful! 💗✨
🌷 Hello! I'm doing well, thank you. Hope you are too (also your profile name is so cuuute!)
Oh, I totally agree with your reco! I was actually catching up on their current Jimin SMAU before I saw this ask 🤭 what a coincidence! I just queued my reblog of the chapter with comments for later (but it'll show on my main blog). Also saving Poetry of the Stars for that one special day when one craves for angst.
Those who want to read author's fics, you may access their masterlist here. I've also reblogged some of their fics (if you like reading comments though I'm not sure my thoughts are useful 🤭). But, I love author's writing style too. I always like a good balance of fluff and angst in fics and Riley always gets this right 🤗.
Hi hope you doing fine I saw u recommending some of jjiimin’s ff and I was wondering if you know her AO3 account ? Cuz seems like she deleted her account on tumblr or something, thank u sm ❤️
🌷 I actually don’t know what happened to Riley’s account. I just realized she’s not active anymore when people sent asks or if I try to revisit my reblogs of her fics. I could still see her fics in my “likes” and I guess that means the content still exists but it’s just unavailable (like privated).
I saw someone post her Taehyung fic on ao3 a few months ago and based on the a/n it seems her account? Please go find Poetry of the Stars on ao3 and you’d find the pseud =)
