A Thousand Words Left Unsaid (Minghao)
I've mentioned this one before hahahaha! It is perhaps my least popular fic. However, to this day, I think this one is still one of my absolute favorite to write. I attempted to be poetic with it, portraying Minghao's life like an empty canvas waiting to be filled with the colors of OC (maybe I failed epically 💀?) and had a lot of fun experimenting with this different style of writing. As a lover and writer of angst, it was also almost everything I dreamed of lol and I'm proud I manifested it >.<

Love Me Out Loud (Mingyu)
On the other end of the spectrum, this is my most popular fic to date. To be frank, I'm still not sure what about it that drew such a large audience because I almost didn't publish it if it weren't for the support of a moot, but I am grateful nonetheless. I think my writing peaked with this fic and I never wrote anything about Mingyu after 💀😅 This fic was a turning point for me in what I decided to write though. Admittedly, I poured a lot of personal feelings and projected a lot of insecurities onto Mingyu and OC 😅 The positive feedback from this fic made me more comfortable in being more vulnerable in my fics and exploring more relevant themes (and not always nice?) of being a young adult.

Of Fate and Flames || Nameless || When the Sun Kisses the Moon (Wonwoo)
This drabble series(?) was never intended to get this out of hand, but with the hype from the lovely wonwoorideul @wisteria-woo (I am forever grateful lol) and inspo from the FML comeback (Super specifically), I couldn't help I had to elaborate on my ideas of firebender!wonwoo 🤣😂 The story as of right now is really fragmented and probably makes no sense. If I'm being honest though, I'm not sure if I'm ever going to write a cohesive series out of this (I do have everything plotted out . . .). Writing this thus far has really delighted my inner child and reignited the fun in writing again for me :)

We Were Destined to Fall (But I'll Catch You) (Jeonghan)
This series was born out of Jeonghan's scenes in the HOT MV! I don't have much to say about this honestly, other than it is really bizarre compared to my other fics 😅 I like to think that most of my stories are realistic fiction, but this falls more into the realm of fantasy/historical/sci-fi. It's a slow WIP, but always really nice coming back to this OTP and the idea that just maybe people are destined for each other in every life 💙

Feu D'Artifice (Vernon)
A snippet of a larger streetracer!au story (yes there's more 💀) highlighting a blooming relationship between racer!Vernon and mechanic!OC amidst blatant social inequities within the racing industry. I got inspiration for this fic from Baekho's song Festival In My Car and I think I was a pretty fresh dolly when I wrote it (at least no longer in denial LOL)? This snippet highlights the thrills of falling for someone for the first time. It's fluffy/crack laced with a little angst at the end! I don't usually ever read back on my own fics, but I do for this one! It makes me giddy and I really do love the comparison between fireworks and falling in love 😅
