Someone asked me once for fic recs and I liked sharing what I had been reading at the time. And it’s been so long since I made that list that I decided to make another one. So here, take a list of the fics I’ve read so far this year (and that nobody asked for)

Allison: ok look I have an idea
Neil: oh no

Neil: I already said oh no

Picking Up Stitches by fuzzballsheltiepants (T | 5137 words)
Neil & Andrew are finally on the same team, finally moving in together, into a quiet neighborhood recommended by their agent. Neil can't quite believe it's real, but with the help of a new neighbor - who's also a secret fan - he starts to settle into his new home.
Cue Cards and Velvet Boxes by Leahelisabeth (fortheloveofcamelot) (M | 4372 words)
5 times Andrew meant to propose and 1 time he couldn't help it.
april showers, april snow storms by ephemeralsky (T | 7508 words)
“Do you believe in fate, Neil?” Andrew asks, blasé.
“Not really, no,” Neil answers gamely, even though Andrew had asked something very similar at the cafe.
“Luck, then.”
“Only the bad sort.”
“And yet you do not cease to ruminate over the notion of soulmates.”
“Has anybody ever told you that you speak like someone from a different time period altogether?” Neil deflects.
(or: Andrew and Neil are soulmates who are stranded at an airport during a snow storm)
For Better Or For Worse by gluupor (T | 15231 words)
Marrying your best friend who you've secretly been in love with for years because you need health insurance is a good idea, right?
...Right?
Restart by ennui_ephemera (T | 52518 words)
Neil Josten hated hospitals.
When he was on the run with his mom, they would hide out in warehouses or sketchy motel rooms and stitch themselves back together with a needle and a bottle of whiskey. He didn't trust hospitals; they were far too open and public for his taste, doctors made it worse with their too-many nosy questions. It was the last thing Neil needed.
But when Neil wakes up in a hospital with no recollection of how he got there and no memory of the past two years of his life, Neil hated it a little bit more.
Wanted: Random Guy by fuzzballsheltiepants (T | 5989 words)
Neil's just trying to get through life as a math major, surviving primarily because of his favorite coffee shop and his speculation about all the regulars there. When an ad appears on the coffee shop bulletin board looking for someone to take fake couple's photos with, he decides to give the guy a call. After all, it could be entertaining...right?

Summary:
"Sherlock’s surprisingly strong, for all he’s so willowy. But John has a lower center of gravity, so the tussle hovers halfway to the bedroom door. John shakes his head, laughing. 'Dammit, Sherlock. Grow up.' (But he really doesn’t mean it. He doesn’t mean it at all.)"
Begins with pranks and laughing and hilarity. Ends with some very nice fellatio and poetically described sodomy. (Because after all, the line between laughter and lust is thin indeed.) Also a meditation on the childish and the childlike, nurturance and maturity: "We care for each other. I feed you, you nourish me. We exchange fragilities. We trade strengths."

Locked down to AO3 users. A cute story that begins with Sherlock and John ligtly pranking and mocking each other and ends with happy sex.

Leave you drowning (until you reach for my hand) by inkingbrushes
Yoongi is on the brink of dropping everything when he takes up the offer of a new roommate who walks in with a smile that's too big and a laugh that's too loud. Rated: R
I love this author, their histories are so heartwarming and I really like how they characterize Yoongi and Hoseok, I definitely recommend to cheek all of their works.
And one musn't tell lies by tteokie
Yoongi wants to fly so bad he's ready to break the rules for that. Jung Hoseok is the worst collateral damage possible. (Stop lying). Rated: M
The Harry Potter au we all deserve tbh. I loved this fic, it reminded me of when I was younger and was reading the books. Really cute and funny, if you like Harry Potter you will love this(and if you don't you will love it anyways)
The Boys of Erinn by hoseoky
When Namjoon practically guilt trips Hoseok into playing an MMORPG with him, Hoseok doesn't anticipate befriending a sarcastic boy with a lovely laugh and a voice that gives him goosebumps. Hoseok also doesn't anticipate falling in love with him. Rated: R
I didn't expected to like this one so much, I have read it more than once, is honestly so funny and easy going with a really interesting plot, one of my fave fics ever. Also I recommend to read all the works of the author, really heartwarming.
Home by almostblue (fictionalaspect)
Pure smut with feelings. (this is my own resume because the one of the author is kinda nsfw and I didnt want to make anyone uncomfortable) Rated: R
The obligatory PWP.
Peter Pan and the Lost Boy by wicked_lovely
Hoseok is cast as Peter Pan in the school play, and all he wants is someone to practice his lines with. Little did he know, he would find his own lost boy this way. Rated: PG
Cute. Really really cute.
#420 by hobilu
Yoongi is hoseok's dealer and he gets more than just a successful sale. Rated: R
Another pwp basically, but wow I loved this concept. The author has a lot of interesting yoonseok fics if you want to check out.
Land Song by producertae
Hoseok is a surfer who majors in dancing at an academy by the seaside. he visits the sea daily and always has some type of shindig with his jackass friend jungkook & co on the weekends. yoongi is a catshark mermaid siren whatever who wants nothing more than to lead a content life at the bottom of the ocean but there's just one thing that keeps him by the surface. Rated: T
I LOVE THIS ONE! is so cute, besides mermaid Yoongi and surfer Hoseok, it can't go wrong.
Another Time by jawsbar
Yoongi's neighbour tries to kill him. He's not particularly offended; she is, after all, four. What he is offended by is her father. Her kind, funny father, who smiles at him like the sun and is just as blinding… (Or: Jung Hoseok is the single father of the weirdest child Min Yoongi has ever met, and he thinks he might be falling in love.) Rated: R
(First, I want to say that this fic contains smut in the lasts chapters, even tho it isn't clarified on the tags) Is it really a fic recommendation if it doesn't include a single parent AU?? This fic made me go through so many feeling tbh. It has the right amount of angst and fluff, plus mean girls references, this fic is everything.
A litany in which certain things are crossed out by gaslight
Yoongi wakes up in a hospital surrounded by people he is told are his friends. He remembers very little of the past six years of his life. He remembers even less about Jung Hoseok, a man he is told he loved; a man he is told died in his arms. Rated: R
If the summary didn't make it clear enough, this fic is for all my angst lovers out there, that's the fic: pure angst. Anyways, I think the author makes a really good job talking about lost and overcoming it.
Bitter & Sweet by soranosuzu
Yoongi has been going to the same coffee shop every day for over a year now. He enjoys everything about his morning routine until Hoseok shows up and turns everything upside down. (In which Hoseok is a barista and Yoongi is a salty little shit). Rated: R
Hey, it's you local coffee shop au! Coffee shops aus are kinda saturated I know, but this one is so well written and is such a good, one of the first sope fics I read, I admit I have read it more than once.
A question of luck by bazooklets (bazooka)
In which Hoseok has insomnia, and Yoongi has a really really nice voice. Rated: T
This one felt so short to me, I didn't knew I needed a asmr au so much until this fic.
Gorgeousness & gorgeosity by cowntdown
Behind masks of gorgeousness, hoseok and yoongi gorge themselves with blood and gore. (tg au) Rated: R
This is a tokyo ghoul au(you don't need to watch the anime to understand it tho), if you watched the anime you probably know what is coming if you didn't I want to warn you: this contains lots of disturbing themes like murder, cannibalism, graphic violence and heavy angst, DO NOT read it if you feel uncomfortable with these themes. Otherwise, this fic is beautifully written, and it has really sweet moments, loved how the author was able to catch the essence of the original story. This fic is great for angst lovers.
Brief Encounters by malamyszk
A Brief Encounter AU were Hoseok and Yoongi keep running into each other at the train station and steadily fall in love. Problem is that they are both married. To different women. Rated: R
Angst, angst, angst. Not a fan of infidelity aus, but the author put this one in such an interesting perspective that I had to recommend it, I really liked how everything was solved, a good read.
fic rec → The Dead of July by whimsicule (117k, chaptered)
avengers au
SUMMARY: Being an Avenger means continuing to be Captain America and smiling and being honorable for the public and Harry does his best. But it doesn’t give him time to figure out who he is supposed to be once he takes off his uniform and puts the shield to the side. Just being Harry had always involved Louis, and Harry fears he doesn’t know how to exist without him.
or: Harry is Captain America, and Louis’ been dead for 70 years.
I, like 2834 others, am entirely in love with this fic.
A Victorian A/B/O romance in which Hannibal Lecter is the future Duke of Westvale who has been away at war for the past ten years. His Grandfather has made good on a contract made shortly after Hannibal's birth to procure him a wife. It was supposed to be easy. Naturally, with the Omega, Will, given in the place of his twin sister, it is anything but, because if there is one thing Hannibal Lecter despises, it's Omegas.

Everything written by Hitlikehammers is elegant and rich, for this I recommend you their whole production.
