hi, i’m wondering if you can recommend a long au, but not a lot of smut. i’m very picky with my aus and they’re just sitting in my safari waiting for some reason- anyways it can be any pairing :)
hi!!! thank you for your ask, i like this freedom in choosing my recs haha :) i'm also very picky. i only read what really touches me and that's not a lot. i believe everything i rec is nice to read, but personally i like to only bookmark my all time favourites. so, i'm going to do this as best as i can and only choose stories that I've bookmarked and hold close to my heart. best long fics coming right up <3
ღ complications of the heart by aeterisks {E, taekook, 190,4k}
one of the newer long fics i've added to my bookmarks and it's gorgeous!!! i really like taekook as a ship and this story does them justice.
ღ The Songbird and the Sea by maia_archives {E, yoonmin, 255,8k}
okay so to be entirely honest with you fantasy themes are not my favourite. i've waited for an embarrassingly long time to read this jewel. HOweVER, this story has the best world building i've seen so far in bts fics. you know it can't be real but it feels real and that makes this story really nice to read.
ღ Lost In The Ocean, We Forgot Gravity by porridgemilk {M, taekook, 214,6k}
this story features canon divergence which means it's about the way things are in rl (bts are a group) but things are also different. taehyung leaves the group in this and it got me thinking how much i love all 7 of them and would hate it if one of them was unhappy or sad enough to leave. gorgeously written story that's definitely worth your time.
ღ Fall Asleep (Fall For You) by drannie {M, taekook, 149,9k}
this is THE university au for me, one of my first reads and a captivating story.
ღ if you love me won't you say something by 777335 {E, yoonkook, 102,2k}
first yoonkook fic i've read. i fell in love with them after that. this story feels like stepping into another world and forgetting everything for a while. it really makes you get attached to the people in the story.
ღ You're So Special by miniimin {M, taekook, 87,9k}
this is one of my all time favourites that i revisit once in a while to cry over. i love these kinds of stories where it's evident how much the people have grown. it starts when tae and jk are still kids and ends when they're adults. i am terribly attached to this and really thankful for the autor that wrote it. this makes me want to live.
ღ truth so loud (you can’t ignore) by thestarsabove {E, taekook, 72,6k}
maybe this is the story i'm most attached to of everything i've read up until now. it's one of the first i've read on the archive. this made me fall in love with canon compliant stories. it also seemed to make the most sense at the time to start reading something that was "familiar" aka about bts as an idol group. i adore the flow of this and how time passes so smoothly. taekook's relationship changes constantly but their bond is always just there.
[i'm sorry about the amount of taekook but most of the stories i've read are about them. i adore them. this is my personal take on it and i apologize if you don't like reading about them.]
