update

hello guys! an update for y’all who still maybe follow this blog - it’s been more than a year since i posted, and i’m sorry, i admit i totally forgot about this page.

unfortunately, in the past year and a half or so i’ve moved on from bts. i still love them, but i’m no longer involved in the fandom or fanfic scene anymore.

of course, it will still be here as an archive for anyone looking for recs in the future, but i will not be posting nor replying to any asks. to the 200+ asks in my inbox: i’m really sorry! i do hope you find what you are looking for though.

thank you to the 800+ people that followed and supported this blog! tkficrecs is closed for the time being.

note: i may entertain the possibility of transferring ownership of the blog to someone - dm me if interested!

the day the earth stood still

by mindheist { T | 1/1 | 4.9k }

Somewhere in New York, Seoul, Florence, Los Angeles, is a tale as old as time.

this fic is literally the sole reason why i’ll never be happy again

[tkficrecs]

Do you know any with one a ceo and the other the secretary? Thank you

here are some! lmk if you need any more!

to always follow the sun - thruspring { E | 36k }

In which Jeongguk upgrades from being his boss' frazzled and overworked assistant to prospective future step-parent practically overnight.

cuz in a sky full of stars (i think i saw you) - wowoashley { E | 64.1k }

taehyung always has bad ideas. and jeongguk thinks this might be the best.

i’m here to save you, i’m here to ruin you - winterseve { E | 334.4k }

Jeon Jeongguk is the heir to one of the most respected corporations in South Korea. But his family's business is built on corruption and sacrifice, and the grueling task of protecting this legacy has fallen on his shoulders. Days of countless hours in the office turn to months, and the burden is soon becoming too heavy for him to carry. And when a tragedy tears him apart, he believes he's lost the ability to love. Then, in comes Kim Taehyung, who has the potential to be his salvation...or his undoing.

Kim Taehyung is an art history major fresh out of university, bursting with optimism he hasn't felt in years. He's also broke, which is how he finds himself applying for a secretary position he's barely qualified for. But his boss is cold, reclusive, and cruel, and keeps almost as many secrets as him. Jeongguk isn't the only one with a legacy to protect. Taehyung's just isn't his own. And if Jeongguk were to find out who he was and what he knew, Taehyung's life wouldn't be the only one at stake.

They're both walking a blurred line, and it's getting harder not to cross every day. Each one holds what the other desperately craves. But if one of them were to overstep, their secret could destroy the other.

hello! i was wondering if you knew any fics where look is like a werewolf (or something similar) and he imprints on tae (it can be the other way around too)? sorry i know that’s weirdly specific but i think stuff like that is really cute. thank you sm!!

hi anon,

it’s a little tricky to search for those without reading the entire fic and theres only 1 fic i’ve read that comes to mind atm,, sorry! ill update this if i find any more!

énouement - by merelypretty { M | 90k }

Being a fairy prince isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, especially when you’re cursed to die by the age of twenty. A year before his birthday, Taehyung meets fairy hunter Jeongguk, and he’s pretty sure he’ll die a little earlier than planned.

[tkficrecs]

Any fics where one of them or both are ace/aro?>.

 i haven’t read a ton of these but here are some i found!

a dreamer, a wisher, a liar - by attilathehun { M | 76.5k }

Jeon Jeongguk is a master of unreality, a person who doesn't fit anywhere and doesn't much care. Art drives him, violence engulfs him, and there's nothing he likes more than being invulnerable and alone. Until he meets Kim Taehyung, a fellow student hell-bent on being his friend, and he starts to wonder if there's something besides hate to carry inside of him. But the road from friendship to love is long and hazy, even more so when he doesn't know what he really wants, and for a sharp-edged mess like Jeongguk, sweet Taehyung may be the one person he can't ever bear to lose.

^ *the only one i’ve actually read out of these

my lovely lilac - by profound_felicity { E | 74.8k }

Kim Taehyung begins his freshman year of college, nervous for what lies ahead. After all, being a pansexual crossdresser can turn some heads and garner negative attention from those around him. Thanks to the "Pink Princess," an LGBT blogger he follows religiously, he feels equipped to face whatever university has in store for him. However, nothing could prepare Taehyung for crushing on a boy who lacks the ability to feel romantic and sexual attraction.

this is a companion to a fic i’ve tried but ultimately did not like, so i’m not too sure if this one will be good but you can give it a shot!

amorem - by ignooy { M | 102.6k }

Kim Taehyung shows up at his door at 5am in the morning wearing a fucking suit.

Jeongguk squints at him with tired eyes. Its only when cold air comes in through the open door does he realize that he’s only wearing boxers and bunny slippers.

He blinks, suddenly wide awake.

“Fuck,” he spits, stepping backwards. “Fuck you. Why are you here?”

Taehyung's eyes are dark and narrowed. His jaw clenches, and Jeongguk is painfully, painfully aware of the cold and his morning wood and how hot Taehyung is.

“I - I mean,” Jeongguk rushes out, jaw dropping. “Oh God. Not fuck you. Can I unfuck you? Oh my God.”

(or, taehyungs a mob boss, and jeongguk gets stuck in a mafia war)

dust - by lotuschae { T | 49.3k }

jungkook was honestly a coward.

taehyung was really not.

[tkficrecs]

I actually just found the fic I asked about. The body heat one. It’s called maybe we’re fireproof by thestarsabove Thanks anyway!

sorry for the late reply! im glad you found it! i love that fic :)

Beach Sands, Make Plans

by thefunboys (T | 1/1 | 3k)

If Jungkook could have it his way, he'd spend the rest of his days on the beach, with the water lapping at his back, the sand between his toes, and Taehyung staring from the shore.

pls give this summer au some love! very good for the quarantine blues <3

[tkficrecs]

hi! i was wondering maybe you could recommend me some hanahaki disease fics?

hi anon!

personally i find hanahaki a really difficult trope to write and deliver to to satisfication, and the few hanahaki fics i’ve read have left me ultimately disappointed, so i don’t really try to find them. i can’t really give you a recommendation other than i bloomed for you and black dahlia, but those two are pretty popular so you most likely have read them before. however these are a few others i found by doing a simple search on ao3 for the tag:

you’re a fantasy (but i’m your destiny) - by areumdaums { M | 8.4k }

and maybe when you love with all your might and give everything, he might love you back.

(soulmate/hanahaki!crossover au)

when you’re losing faith but finding hope (it lights your face) - colourpencillskity { M | 16.3k}

Taehyung grows up with Hanahaki and decides he'll never fall in love, though his roommate Jeongguk makes his life decidedly harder than he ever expected.

In which Taehyung tries to suffocate his feelings so they won't suffocate him, Jeongguk is a hot mess, Seokjin tries to play matchmaker, and somehow everything works out in the end.

[tkficrecs]

all of you, all of me

by conclusions { T | 1/1 | 24.9k }

kim taehyung falls too easily;

jeon jeongguk never falls;

so, of course, they fall for each other.

this physically hurt me

[tkficrecs]

don’t bother knocking

by hyoonia { E | 1/1 | 10k }

Taehyung can't sleep without hugging something, but when he's especially anxious his pillows aren’t quite enough. On those occasions Taehyung bribes his very cute neighbour Jeongguk to let him sleep in his bed and use him as a body pillow.

And Jeongguk is totally fine with that. The only problem is that he's pretty sure Taehyung thinks he's straight and he has no idea how to tell him that he's most definitely not. He's gay, so very gay and all the platonic cuddling and non-dates are slowly killing him on the inside.

bloodhorse

by batman { E | 1/1 | 55.6k }

The thing about scandal is, it doesn't need a business class upgrade.

this is so well written whew! i love the dynamics and characterizations of the boys, it’s so different than usual but also very interesting to read!

[tkficrecs]

does it taste like lemon?

by twentythreethirteen { T | 1/1 | 9k }

“What's that lemon thing?” He shyly asks from his seat drawing the attention back to him once again.

“Ah, that's because my cousin says that when you kiss someone for the first time that's the flavor you feel in your mouth.” The girl explains. “But is it true?”

Or, Jeongguks wonders what do Taehyung's lips taste like.

really really cute! 

[tkficrecs]

sad, bad and kind of ugly 

by conclusions { T | 1/1 | 3.5k } 

“Did I just hear you correctly?” Jeongguk asks, blinking. “Did you just say we should—”

“Break up,” Taehyung finishes cheerfully. “The pasta’s boiling over.”

---

or:

taehyung and jeongguk break up for one (1) day, decide they hate it, and get back together.

i love the characterization in this!! super super cute, no angst at all :)

[tkficrecs]

Do you have any vampire au recommendation?

here you go!

freesia - by mintsoda { E | 25k }

“‘You should have just let me die!’ he yells again and starts walking away, tears now flowing down his face. He can’t believe that he of all people got soulmated by a vampire.

Why him of all people?

‘Wait,’ the vampire shouts, ‘I don’t even know your name!’

‘You should have thought about that before you gave me your blood to drink!’ Taehyung yells back and keeps walking through the rain.”

Taehyung and Jeongguk become soulmates – more or less – by accident.

dusk til dawn - by aeterisks { E | 35.2k }

Jeongguk thought he had his life all planned out: slay the vampires and don’t get killed. But when he loses everything he had, Kim Taehyung appears with centuries of loneliness behind him, and a new life for Jeongguk to have.

love bites - by rix { E | 15.4k }

Taehyung needs more data on human blood for his research project. Jungkook has always been the helpful type. How he feels about Taehyung’s fangs is just a bonus.

time or place (i’ll come back to you) - by taecheeks { E | 131.1k }

“Go Taehyung. I’ll find you, you know I’ll always find you.”

[Prompt: Vampires can become servants. They feed off of human servants, drink animal blood, or drink from each other if mated.

Vampires can be enslaved/bound by an object they hold dear to them. These are usually worn by their master (or they just wear a few and command one of the vampires to guard the other items).

Taehyung (at age 8) makes the mistake of getting Jungkook’s ring back. Jungkook kills his whole family and spares Taehyung to return the favor.

Years pass, and they meet again when Taehyung grows up. Jungkook had already forgotten about the incident but Taehyung had not.]

Reviewing the entirety of your rocket science course in twelve hours is not actually rocket science, but falling in love might just be.

Alternatively, boy meets boy at the longest party of the year.

i cant believe even batman writes taekook fics this is a tk world and we’re just living in it
