AO3 Bangtan Rec List

AO3 Bangtan Rec List

I decided to put together a list of Bangtan fics I admire. I don't have many, maybe a list up into the twenties, but I hope that you other avid readers will enjoy these works as much as I do. Warning: I'm a big angst fan so PLEASE READ THE TAGS!

Please note that most -- if not all -- of these recommendations are for adult viewing (18+) only!

This list contains jikook, vmin, yoonkook, vminkook, and jihope recs.

Although this section is only one fic long, I highly recommend Young & Blue by syubology | teen, 5k, a fic so simple yet beautiful that it inspired me to start writing myself.

VMINKOOK

again, this section only has one fic but it kind of ruined my whole life (in a good way). A bit of a darker read but enjoyable for those who dare to dip their toes in.

folie à trois by tendershipping @breathplayed | 78k, hypnotism, circus, detective jungkook on the case! mysterious, dark, feels a little bit like suffocating.

That's it for now! I read tons of other fics but here are the few that really stuck out to me!

basically my solar rush au jm & th i'm crying

golden 🌟

the way i published 16k of an old yoonkook writing i did on ao3 and didn't say anything bc i'm sort of embarrassed by it. it was a chapter of an au that i'm currently rewriting to hell and back,,,, and after a lot of revisions and reworks, i've come to the conclusion that this chapter -- in all of it's massive glory -- does not fit with the modified story line. i've decided to publish it, perhaps momentarily, as some sort of send-off to something i used to be proud of.
