GSGW Fic Rec List 1

Taking a break from fic reading to compile a fic rec list. I'm new here so I'm slowly going through the greatest hits. Probably gonna make another one in a couple of weeks?

Some of these are honestly popular enough they don't need further recs but this is more of me compiling my enjoyment.

Most of these are Choisol or agents focused cause that's the rabbit hole I fell into...

Character/Relationship Study

There's a lot of good choi character studies out there. He's a man worthy of being put under a microscope for sure.

Ryuchoi

close shave by blowmymind Choi asks Jaekwan to give him a shave after chapter 240/exiting sekwang. This is so pure, so tender and fraught. Really peak fic for me.

Choi

if you look in the mirror and don't like what you see by 52hz (nitilia) Choi character study about his scars. No spoilers.

KNOW THYSELF, KNOW THY ENEMY by aynchent Truthfic. I think there's some interesting existential terror in this one with Choi getting an inkling of the truth for ireum-nim.

biography of a spy by aneternalspring Choi putting KSE under a microscope is always just fun to read.

Baek Saheon

rawhide by aynchent KSE age regressed and Baek Saheon and Go Youngeon are also there. This is an earlier fic so we didn't get GYE's background yet, but the way it wrote her is still very compelling. The direction of BSH finding out KSE is afraid of him is an interesting point of canon-divergence. Very in-character BSH.

KSE

the one less traveled by by aneternalspring This is the best "KSE goes home" fic I've read so far. I think what I admire about it is how well it portrays the strong sense of longing mixed in with the trauma. Both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Tear your heart out Angst

imminence by 52hz (nitilia) Jaekwan POV in between the aftermath of Shopping Channel and the Trial. Both heartbreaking and heartwarming again... It's so sad but Jaekwan's love is so pure.

laying in the dirt by 52hz (nitilia), Ohnogodpls Choi during the 290 days in the cave. I was crying during work because of this.

Look, just read it, okay?

[try again.] by 52hz (nitilia) Choose your own KSE wish ticket adventure, interactive fic, Choisol. Honestly this one made me feel insane and I had to pace around the condo. You gotta go in blind. Just go in blind. It's an experience.

Smut

A Friend You Can't Leave by wyrvel Braunsol. Room you can't leave until you have sex. Honestly I didn't think KSE can fuck but this fic was so in-character it opened my eyes to a whole new world. Wow. KSE really can fuck, who knew. It's tagged with "wholesome if you don't squint" and that's so correct. Seven words: Braun doesn't know where to put it. (Why would he? They don't show that on prime-time TV.)

intervention by Frill Ryuchoi, omegaverse, alpha bottom choi, beta top Ryu Jaekwan This one's really indulgent but I have such a weak spot for omegaverse with alpha bottom. It's really sweet.

traces of ghosts by 52hz (nitilia) Braunchoi real and very hot... nitilia you'll always be a legend lol...

the highest form of intimacy is two characters who are very weird about each other lighting each other's cigarette
