| the night sky (what comes after); 13.5k words, E-rated summary: Yoongi swallows and flips his hair out of his eyes. “I’ve had worse.” It’s a hollow phrase, worn around the edges, but it’s an easy crutch. Easier than any of the alternatives at least; certainly easier than the thoughts that have been circling his mind like vultures. Yoongi’s gaze slides over to where a thin wisp of smoke escapes Taehyung’s mouth, and he doesn’t think about Taehyung’s lips. He doesn’t. Except for he does. He thinks about them a lot. tags: Alternate Universe, Friends to Lovers, Mutual Pining, Hurt/Comfort, Fluff, Fluff and Angst, Fluff and Smut, Smoking, Min Yoongi | Suga Is Whipped, Yoongi is angry at his brain because who gave it permission to fall for Taehyung, Yoongi thinks Taehyung is the sun, very mild internalized homophobia, brief homophobic language, Aftermath of Violence, they got punched in the face but they're ok, kind of a 80s/90s au, but you can't really tell aside from the glaring lack of cell phones, no plot to speak of just cuddles, okay fine a tiny bit of plot, but mostly cuddles because these boys have a lof of feels ok, Emotions, a bit of smut, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, mentioned shitty parents, homophobic parents, rags to still rags but at least they have each other |
| light blue; 24.4k words, T-rated summary: “Good morning, I heard you woke up yesterday.” Yoongi struggles to surface from sleep. That voice. He knows that voice. It’s deep and warm, and it was keeping him company while he was confined in the most remote corners of his own mind. He blinks open his eyes, then raises a hand to shield them from the light. “Careful, now.” A warm hand grabs his wrist. “You’ve got all sorts of things poking out of you, don’t wanna knock those off.” - (or: Yoongi wakes up from a medically-induced coma to find that his nurse is the most gorgeous man on earth. Gay panic and shenanigans ensue.) tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Hospital, Nurse Taehyung, Patient Yoongi, Taehyung has blue hair and the voice of an angel, Yoongi’s Gay Panic™, Namjoon visits and is Thoroughly Amused by said gay panic, Humor, Attempt at Humor, Fluff and Humor, Car Accident Aftermath, Traumatic Brain Injury, Nurse Jimin, Physical therapist Hoseok, Hobi makes Yoongi run lol, occupational therapist Jeon “video games solve everything” Jungkook, Dr. Seokjin is just trying to run this chaotic ward, wholly unprofessional and inaccurate hospital staff shenanigans, imaginative and probably inaccurate depictions of a coma experience, but otherwise more or less accurate depictions of medical stuff, i work at a neuro ward can you tell, don’t worry i left out most of the really disgusting stuff (you’re welcome), gratuitous references to bts mv visuals and run bts, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it jikook moment also happened |
| 812 (rock my world; 13.4k words, E-rated summary: Jimin sniffs in a way that lets Taehyung know he’s an ungrateful brat. “Look, some people would pay good money to get a free pass that allows them right in front of the stage and hence right under the nose of Min Yoongi.” “Min who?” Jimin waves his hand dismissively. “The rock star you couldn’t care less about but whose face you have to stare at through your camera lens tonight.” Taehyung slings his camera bag on his shoulder and shoves the press pass into his back pocket. “Sure, whatever. Just point me in his direction when we get there.” - or: the fic where Taehyung thinks Yoongi is an arrogant piece of shit (albeit a hot one), but as Jimin puts it, “Which memory is going to be more awesome to look back to when you’re eighty: the time when you went and fucked a rock star or the time when you didn’t and went home instead?” tags: Alternate Universe, nature photographer Taehyung, arrogant rock star Yoongi, Vmin best friends and roommates, Jimin helps Tae to Get That Ass, Attempt at Humor, Fluff and Smut, Shameless Smut, Anal Sex, Anal Fingering, Bottom Min Yoongi | Suga, bossy bottom Yoongi, from a one-night-stand to something more, this was supposed to be just smut but then plot happened |
| encore (this one’s for you); 38.3k words, E-rated [note: this is a sequel to ‘812 (rock my world’] summary: Is there a protocol for when one reunites with someone who was only supposed to be a one-night-stand but then turned out to be something more? If there is, Taehyung doesn’t know it. - or: the sequel to 812 (rock my world) tags: Alternate Universe, model/photographer Taehyung, Rock Star Yoongi, long distance is bullshit, trying to date someone famous is bullshit, essentially everything is bullshit, except the sex (that's great), Smut, Anal Sex, Anal Fingering, Blow Jobs, Bottom Min Yoongi | Suga, Light Angst, Fluff and Angst, Angst and Fluff and Smut, Attempt at Humor, Angst with a Happy Ending, No one is good at emotions, aside from Park Jimin who just wins at life ok, Vmin best friends and roommates, Park Jimin is the best friend we'd all want, hype over Jungkook's muscle bunny tendencies and video editing skills, Chicken Noodle Soup cameo, Misunderstandings, briefly mentioned past FWB sope, brief mention of attempted violence toward a character (no one gets hurt), how did this verse even happen it was supposed to be a pwp oneshot |
| home destruction, or how to woo a man by breaking things; 3.8k words, T-rated summary: Yoongi closes his mouth. Yeah, because it was hanging open, because fuck, this dude is hot in a way that makes the situation look like the beginning of a porn movie instead of an actual maintenance visit. The guy blinks at him a few times, then looks down to a post-it note in his hand. “Uh, you had a problem with your smoke detector?” tags: Yoongi lives in a loft apartment, Taehyung is the hot maintenance guy, Yoongi starts breaking things to get the maintenance guy to come back to his apartment, basically that’s it that’s the fic, Humor, Fluff and Humor, humor that's bordering on crack, graphic depictions of Yoongi coming up with different ways to destroy his apartment, I take no responsibility if you eat or drink something while reading and choke, this warning was deemed necessary by the recipient of this fic |
| everything, amplified; 16.9k words, E-rated summary: “Hi,” Taehyung says when he appears behind Yoongi in the cafeteria line, his scent hitting Yoongi like a brick in the face. He smells sweet and spicy, and his voice is low and husky, and his grin wide and friendly. God, he’s infuriating. “Mmh,” Yoongi mutters back, trying to discreetly bury his nose in his sleeve. It’s not that Taehyung smells bad—not at all—but something about him just makes Yoongi want to run like his life depends on it. The annoying thing about it is that his body and mind are at odds about the direction he should run in—one seems to think he should run toward Taehyung while the other tells him to run away as fast as he can. - or: Yoongi refuses to let his instincts guide his life. Then Taehyung happens. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - College/University, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Non-Traditional Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Omega Min Yoongi | Suga, Alpha Kim Taehyung | V, frat boy taehyung, Yoongi thinks Taehyung is kind of a douche at first, Smut, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Angst and Fluff and Smut, Light Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Anal Sex, Anal Fingering, Biting, bond marks, Omega Namjoon, Alpha Jeon Jungkook, namkook not having their shit together, namkook getting their shit together, Jimin makes a brief but radiant appearance, a tiny bit of social commentary, i tried not to get preachy about it, this is probably the least A/B/O trope to ever A/B/O, i didn’t follow any established abo rules this is purely self-indulgent |
| northern rainfall; 12.3k words, T-rated summary: Despite his amazing ability to write angry and sad and wistful and happy lyrics, Yoongi is pretty bad at expressing himself verbally when it comes to the emotions he keeps close to his heart. Taehyung has learned, over the years, to read Yoongi’s minuscule shifts of expression, to decipher small gestures, and he knows without a shadow of a doubt that right now Yoongi needs to be hugged. Yoongi would never say it out loud, but to Taehyung he’s broadcasting his request louder than words. - or: BTS goes to Helsinki for a photoshoot, and the thing between Taehyung and Yoongi that has gone silent and unacknowledged for a long time finally reaches critical mass. tags: Canon Compliant, (i never thought i'd use that tag lol), winter package in Helsinki, GCF in Helsinki, Mutual Pining, Taehyung trying to sort out his feelings for Yoongi, Cuddling & Snuggling, really just an excessive amount of cuddling, Holding Hands, Kissing, bts shenanigans, Snowball Fight, no plot to speak of just cuddling, did i mention cuddling because there's a lot of that |
| beyond time; 43.6k words, E-rated summary: “Is there a problem here?” Yoongi asks, trying to force his voice to sound calm while he flashes a smile that’s probably cheeky enough to evoke outrage. Sleazebag takes a threatening step toward him. “Get lost. This is none of your business.” “I happened to overhear you guys.” From the corner of his eye, Yoongi sees Silk Blouse inching behind him, and he automatically takes a step to the side to place himself between the two of them. Huh. Yoongi wasn’t aware he had a savior complex, but okay. “Maybe it is none of my business, but I kind of got the idea that pretty boy over here doesn’t want to spend any more time with you.” - or: Taehyung is a high-class escort whose looks occasionally attract customers of the wrong kind. Yoongi is a drifter with a debt to pay. This is how their worlds collide. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - Escorts, drifter Yoongi, Escort Taehyung, Slow Burn, (i guess this counts as slow burn), Mutual Pining, Jimin owns a coffeeshop, coffeeshop shenanigans, Barista Jungkook, Writer Namjoon, Seokjin has a pub, drifter/gambler Hoseok, the beginning is a bit rough, but after that it’s pretty much just fluff fluff fluff, and maybe a tiny bit of angst and self-doubt, a tiny bit of social commentary, Fluff and Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Eventual Smut, Anal Sex, Bottom Min Yoongi | Suga, Hand Jobs, probably the least escort AU to ever escort AU, Fluff and Humor, Attempt at Humor |
| soft pastel; 2.4k words, T-rated [note: this is a sequel to ‘beyond time’] summary: “Pleaaaaase.” His lips move lower, pressing on the skin below Yoongi’s ear, his voice vibrating against Yoongi’s throat as he continues pleading, “It’s not irreversible; we can dye it back if you don’t like it. Pleasepleaseplease.” Yoongi turns his head, just enough to see Taehyung from the corner of his eye, pressing his cheek into Yoongi’s shoulder and batting his lashes up at him. Yoongi has known he’s going to say yes ever since Taehyung revisited the idea of finally getting to dye his hair twelve hours ago. It’s just that for a moment he wanted to pretend like he could refuse. Fuck it. “Fine.” tags: Fluff, Domestic Fluff, yoongi lets tae dye his hair, it's cute, that's it that's the fic, Fluff and Humor |

Ask more on twitter @platonictaecuddles “Fucking stupid,” Taehyung mutters as he leaves the building, with Jimin and Hoseok hooting behind him. Well, people on campus are so used to the fraternity initiation pranks that no one is going to take the ad seriously. And even if someone does, no one is going to pay for cuddles. The whole idea is just ridiculous. - or: As part of his fraternity initiation, Taehyung has to post ads for a cuddle service. Yoongi replies to his ad, but Yoongi may or may not have his own hidden agenda. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - College/University, frat boys, college shenanigans, Cuddling & Snuggling, Kissing, Boys Kissing, Making Out, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Attempt at Humor |
| no explanation, no pants; 11.3k words, T-rated summary: “Well,” a deep voice says. “That didn’t exactly go as planned.” Yoongi jumps up and whips toward the voice so quickly that no fewer than six of his joints crack audibly. A man stands by the fence, next to the big flowerpot where Yoongi’s aggressive basil is trying to suffocate his poor lemon balm by spreading all over the place. This discovery—the man in his garden, not the suffering of his lemon balm—is alarming for at least two reasons: one, there is no gate to the garden, because it’s surrounded on all sides by equally small neighboring gardens, so where did the man come from? And two, while Yoongi’s patio and a part of his tiny lawn are currently covered in feathers, the man is covered in, well, absolutely nothing. “Um,” Yoongi says. “What the fuck?” - or: the fic in which Yoongi has to help a (literally) fallen angel to regain his wings. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Magical Realism, (kind of), Angels, Angel Wings, haphazard references to several religions and belief systems, Humor, Fluff and Humor, Attempt at Humor, Angel Kim Taehyung | V, Human Min Yoongi | Suga, Yoongi's gay panic™, Holding Hands, essentially this whole fic is a road trip, but they’re being chased by demons and hellcats, Jimin is some ancient being idk, i feel like i need to craft an apology letter to neil gaiman after writing this |
| after all, all this time; 42.1k words, E-rated summary: “Did you grow taller, or have I just shrunk over the years?” Yoongi asks, and he sounds a bit whiny about it. “You’re not wearing heels to cheat, are you?” He cranes his neck to check Taehyung’s footwear. Taehyung grins and resists the urge to pat Yoongi’s head. “Ah hyung, no heels. You’ve just always been tiny,” he says instead. “Oh fuck off,” Yoongi replies with no heat. Taehyung smiles to himself. They seem to naturally fall into their old habit of teasing and joking around, even after time and distance have wedged them apart. Being in Yoongi’s company is like the comfort of a book Taehyung has read so many times that parts of it are always lingering at the edges of his mind, but he hasn’t touched the book in so many years that the details are starting to get fuzzy. - or: Yoongi and Taehyung meet years after their breakup to find they still gravitate toward each other. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, photographer/fashion magazine editor Taehyung, rapper/producer yoongi, Exes, Friends With Benefits, exes to FWB to ???, Fluff, Fluff and Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Mutual Pining, Fluff and Humor, Fluff and Smut, lots of smut, there's a dick piercing, Making Out, Blow Jobs, Hand Jobs, Anal Fingering, Rimming, Anal Sex, Edging, very mild dom/sub undertones if you squint, top/bottom 'dynamics' treated as a sex position and nothing more, side hopekook, mentioned past yoonjin, hinted namjin if you squint, hints at possible future jihopekook (also if you squint), i take no responsibility if you require a dentist after reading the ending, You Have Been Warned |
| inside and out; 8.7k words, T-rated summary: “We, uh.” Namjoon pauses like he’s looking for words. He glances up at the ceiling. “We have a guest who’s staying over in the guest bedroom for the time being.” Yoongi furrows his brows. “Okay? Why is that such a serious matter?” “One of my classmates from uni reached out to me, she’s working as a psychologist consultant who specializes in—well, rather unique cases. She asked if I’d be able to help, it’s a bit of a delicate situation,” Namjoon says. “Apparently our guest—Taehyung’s his name, by the way—he’s in need of a warm, loving environment. Jihyo said she immediately thought our place would be perfect—and that we would be able to handle it.” Yoongi looks at all of them one by one, confused. “Handle what, exactly?” “He’s invisible,” Jungkook blurts out. - or: Taehyung has turned invisible due to continuous mistreatment. Perhaps the chaotic yet loving environment of a household with six roommates is just the thing he needs to become visible again. And perhaps Yoongi has a part to play in the process as well. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Magical Realism, Found Family, Light Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Healing, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Cuddling & Snuggling, Kissing |
| aeons (our way back home); 41.5k words, E-rated summary: Taehyung swallows and blinks, then swallows again. He drops the hammer to the ground by his knee, hands falling idle and limp on his lap. He stares at his fingers, the dirt under his fingernails, the knuckles of each finger in turn. If he closes his eyes, he can almost imagine another hand on his hand, fingers entwined with his, holding tight. “Hyung?” Jungkook sounds anxious now. “Hyung!” Taehyung looks up, his vision blurry, and makes a questioning noise in the back of his throat. It almost sounds like a sob. “Hyung please, talk to me.” Jungkook sets the wire cutters aside and crawls to Taehyung, lowering a hand on his shoulder. “What really happened out there?” - or: Taehyung comes home in the aftermath of a civil war and tries to pick up the pieces of his life—but figuring out how to move on is difficult, especially when it feels like his heart was wrenched from his chest and dropped in the bottom of the trench. After going through betrayal and loss he needs closure, so he has to embark on a dangerous journey across the border to look for the man who claimed to love him, up to the moment he was knocked unconscious and dragged away right before Taehyung's eyes. tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Science Fiction, War, Post-War, aftermath of war, cyberpunkish elements, Mentions of Blood, descriptions of non-serious injuries, Trauma, Flashbacks, Nightmares, Panic Attacks, Angst, Heavy Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Hurt/Comfort, So much hurt/comfort, Implied/Referenced Homophobia, Slow Burn, Sexual Content, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs, Frottage, i realize the tags make this sound really bad, It's Not That Bad I Promise, everything will be okay in the end |
| sign me up; 15.2k words, M-rated summary: “Kim Taehyung, your power,” Jimin says once Taehyung turns to look at him. “What?” Taehyung picks up his chopsticks again, digging into his noodles that have almost gone cold during the interruption. “Only you can get into a conversation with some random cute guy—and the conversation is about small dicks, of all things—and somehow you still end up getting his phone number.” Taehyung huffs, his cheeks a bit warm. “Says you. I have seen you charm the pants off of several guys in weirder situations.” Jimin picks up his abandoned spoon and gives him a look. “So you mean to say that we’ve been in weirder situations than us, in a café, fumbling around with our own messy form of sign language—only to have an actual Deaf person butting in and asking us to explain our invented slang term for a guy with a really small dick? Uh, I don’t think so.” - or: the fic where Yoongi is Deaf and this is how they meet tags: Alternate Universe, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, First Meetings, Meet-Cute, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Deaf Character, Sign Language, soft boys learning to communicate with each other, everything is just soft soft soft, ok there’s slight angst regarding Yoongi’s ex who was A DICK, but taegi are soft and cute and happy, Kissing,cute dates, making out in IKEA, Blow Jobs, (NOT in IKEA) |
| reunite (on these thighs); 4.3k words, M-rated summary: Their next meeting is similar to their first brief encounter, in that Yoongi is sitting on a couch. The similarities end there, because this couch is in Seokjin’s living room and not the student lounge, and currently Yoongi is slightly tipsy from the whiskey he’s been nursing while he and Namjoon have been talking about the new album Namjoon’s favorite rapper released a few days back, and then suddenly Yoongi discovers that he has a whole lot of laughing Kim Taehyung landing across his lap, almost tipping over Yoongi’s whiskey in the process. “Uh,” Yoongi says and quickly secures his cup of whiskey by shoving it at Namjoon, who takes it with raised eyebrows. “Taehyung. Hi?” Taehyung squirms and twists and turns until he sits straddling Yoongi’s legs, with his hands braced on Yoongi’s shoulders, squinting at him from an arm’s length like he’s appraising Yoongi for a possible next meal. “Hey,” he says, smiling wide. “Min Yoongi. Hyung. Wow.” - or: childhood friends taegi reunite in college. tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Childhood Friends, meeting again after years of separation, drunk making out at a party, it's all very consensual tho, Making Out, Kissing, Grinding, poor seokjin is worried about his couch, no plot to speak of, self-indulgent makeout fic™, i wanted tae to sit on yoongi ergo tae sits on yoongi, like that’s it that’s the fic |
| how to hug min yoongi; 639 words, G-rated summary: Taehyung has come to realize that hugging Yoongi is addictive. It’s not just because hugging Yoongi is nice—although it absolutely is—but there’s also an additional huge sense of accomplishment when the mission is complete, because the road to hugging Yoongi is like triathlon levels of exercise with an additional flair of combat training. tags: Fluff, Cuddling & Snuggling, Hugs, soft boys in love |
| quarantine with me; 9.5k words, E-rated summary: Yoongi swallows and lowers his mug on the counter again. “Hypothetically,” he begins, and his voice is low, a bit raspy. He clears his throat. “Hypothetically, if we were to have sex, you promise it’s not going to get weird?” Taehyung startles and turns, letting the fridge door close. His eyes are a bit wide, his mouth cracked open. He slowly sets the juice carton on the counter and something in his demeanor shifts, from confusion to something that looks a lot like want. When he takes a step closer, he looks determined, his eyes trained on Yoongi with laser-sharp focus. The air between them seems to crackle with invisible electric currents. “It’s not going to get weird,” Taehyung says. Fuck, his voice is even deeper than usual, a low rumble that makes Yoongi shiver. Taehyung takes another step, and the electric currents amplify, sizzling between them. “I promise.” - or: Roommates taegi agree to help each other out during a campus-wide quarantine. It absolutely gets weird. tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Quarantine, and they were ROOMMATES, Taehyung’s superior fratboy aesthetics, Fluff and Humor, Fluff and Smut, Smut, Blow Jobs, Hand Jobs, Porn With Plot, like a tiny bit of plot, slight miscommunication, Light Angst, Happy Ending |
| something cursed from the start; 2.2k words, M-rated summary: Yoongi already knows what Taehyung is going to say when he appears at Yoongi’s doorstep long after nightfall, his eyes gleaming with something that makes his entire being look hollow. His hair is a mess and his jacket too thin for the season, and he’s hugging his frame like he just walked through a dark, frozen tunnel to get here. “Please, hyung,” Taehyung breathes as he steps over the threshold and right into Yoongi’s personal space. “Please, just let me—please—” One of these days, Yoongi is going to learn how to say no to Taehyung; tell him that this is not the way to deal with shit.

| in front of everyone’s salad; 2.6k words, M-rated summary: “Hyung please, I promise to be quiet,” Taehyung says, pouting. “C’mon, let me stay, pleaaaase?” Yoongi looks up from his stack of papers. Taehyung thinks it’s the cutest thing ever that Yoongi has a bullet point plan for his live, even when it’s just an unscheduled audio broadcast to catch up with Army. But then again, this is a man who loves powerpoint presentations and does calculus to relax. “Cute,” Taehyung hums under his breath, watching Yoongi go through his plan one more time. “Already you’re breaking your vow of silence,” Yoongi chastises. “Like ten seconds after you promised to keep quiet. Behave, or I’ll kick you out.” - or: Taehyung absolutely 100% does not behave. tags: Canon Compliant, Yoongi's voice only vlive, Kim Taehyung | V is a Brat, Kim Taehyung | V is a Little Shit, Min Yoongi | Suga Is Whipped, Established Relationship, vlive boners, boyfriends teasing each other while a few million people are listening, like that's it that's the fic |
| fire, oh fire; 64.1k words, E-rated summary: Taehyung’s misfortunate animal rights activism lands him doing community service in a classified, government-funded animal laboratory. Taehyung has to keep his job a secret from his friends, and juggling his everyday college life with his confidential work turns out to be difficult. One fabricated story leads to another, and soon Taehyung is tangled so deep in his web of lies that he has to ask one grumpy veterinarian at the lab to help him out by pretending to be his boyfriend. At the laboratory not everything is as it seems, either. People tell stories where things don’t add up, and it gets to a point where Taehyung needs to start investigating who is the one telling lies in this equation. As the truth starts unveiling, things get more complicated—and also more dangerous for everyone involved. - or: The fic where taegi wind up fake-dating and naturally it turns into a whole mess, even without the bits where they find themselves in life-threatening situations.

| easier to hold on to the things that tie you to the ground; 10.6k words, M-rated summary: I wish things were different. But I can’t. This isn’t—this isn’t me. Taehyung wished Yoongi would yell at him, or something, anything. Instead, Yoongi gave him a defeated-looking little shrug and a resigned nod, collected his things and left. Taehyung thought he’d feel relieved afterwards, but instead he felt burned and shattered, like a satellite dropped from orbit. But it was for the best. What was going on between him and Yoongi, it was never meant to happen. It was one drunken mistake leading to another drunken mistake, followed by a series of mistakes with no alcohol involved, until one morning Taehyung woke up with his nose buried in the slightly overgrown buzz cut at the nape of Yoongi’s neck and realized that Yoongi had a favorite mug at his apartment. It was never supposed to be like that.

| so lost (in you); 19.4k words, E-rated [note: this is a prequel to ‘easier to hold on to the things that tie you to the ground’] summary: “Hyung,” Taehyung says, his voice hoarse. He doesn’t think, he just moves forward, hand closing around Yoongi’s hip through the cotton of his t-shirt, pulls him in, lips falling somewhere on Yoongi’s jawline first. He cranes his neck until he encounters Yoongi’s mouth. He’s received with a gasp, and then Yoongi’s hands find his hair, tangling in it, as their mouths slot together, as Taehyung pushes in with his tongue, sour wine and lip balm and— “Taehyung-ah,” Yoongi mutters, a low rumble. “Are you—” Taehyung stops kissing him, heart thumping in his chest. A thought enters his brain, lightning-quick and shoving everything else aside. “Did you—did you tell anyone? About the—what happened?” Yoongi furrows his brows. “No,” he says slowly. “I didn’t. I won’t.” - or; Taehyung isn’t into guys like that. He isn’t.

| find a heart and catch your breath; 4.4k words, E-rated [note: this is a sequel to ‘easier to hold on to the things that tie you to the ground’] summary: “Are you sure you want to do this?” Yoongi’s hand is warm where it’s resting on Taehyung’s thigh, right below the spot where the hem of his shorts ends. Taehyung would prefer to just get on with the program and not think about it too much, but of course Yoongi would ask. He’s thoughtful like that. “Yeah,” Taehyung says. “I want to. I mean, I didn’t spend several minutes in your bathroom scrubbing myself clean for nothing.” Yoongi snorts softly. “Okay.” “So yes,” Taehyung says, raising his eyebrows, “I want you to go where no man has gone before.” He tries to look solemn, but it’s difficult when the corners of Yoongi’s mouth are twitching upwards, indicating a smile he’s trying to hold in. “And, like. Do your thing. Pop that cherry.” - or; Taehyung starts to understand why people like having things in their ass. tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Established Relationship, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Some Plot, Blow Jobs, Rimming, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, First Time Bottoming, Fluff and Smut, Mild Internalized Homophobia, this is a sequel but it can be read on its own |
| not with your cat watching; 1.1k words, E-rated summary: “Wait, wait, wait, stop.” Yoongi pulls away from the kiss to find his hookup—Taehyung—looking away from him, distracted. “What is it?” “I can’t do this.” “Oh.” Yoongi stops all movement and tries to shift away, but it’s a bit difficult with Taehyung practically pinning him to the mattress with his full weight. “Okay, if you don’t want to do this—” Taehyung shakes his head, and his hips make a small grinding motion against Yoongi’s crotch, both of them gasping at the friction. “No, I want to, I just can’t—not with your cat staring at us.” tags: Hook-Up, Bathroom Sex, Anal Sex, cats are judgmental assholes so taegi have to migrate to the bathroom to fuck, that's it that's the fic |
| of androids, knives & the endless void of space and marriage; 9.4k words, E-rated summary: Yoongi stares in horror as Taehyung finishes unwrapping the android that’s a spitting image of him: pale skin, pink lips, dark hair framing his face. Eyes closed, like it’s asleep. Its almost-naked body—Yoongi’s body—accurate from the slope of the shoulders down to the very tips of the toes. It’s disorienting. “What the fuck?” Yoongi asks again, weakly. It’s like having stepped into an alternate reality, where he’s standing braced against the shelves in Taehyung’s office, but he’s also being unwrapped from a box across the floor. Taehyung finally turns to him, and there’s something predatory in his eyes. “What do you think?” Yoongi stares. “What do I think? You got a fucking—sex robot that looks exactly like me, and you’re asking me what I think?” - or; Yoongi and Taehyung are forced to marry each other for an interplanetary alliance. Yoongi thinks Taehyung is arrogant and petty and childish, and—well, he doesn’t know what Taehyung thinks of him, because he hasn’t bothered to ask.

Taehyung tilts his head to the side. “Are you going to let me in?” Yoongi purses his lips. “That depends… Are you here to lecture me or to fuck me?” He’s had enough of Taehyung yapping on and on about the table in their dining room that now has a neat, blade-shaped hole in its polished surface. It’s not Yoongi’s fault Taehyung annoyed the shit out of him during dinner. And really, Taehyung should be thankful the knife only sank into the table and didn’t go through his hand in the process.

Not that many queer people in a town this small, or if there are, they might not want to expose themselves by being on an app that’s designed specifically for gay hookups. One photo catches his attention, and he taps the profile open. It’s a closeup of a pretty pink mouth cracked open, fingertips delicately grazing the small space between the lips. Aside from the lower part of the face, nothing else of the face or body is visible, and there are no other photos. The profile has minimal information. The name is simply a capital Y, the age is listed as 30—two years older than Taehyung. The ‘about me’ section has seven words. call me baby boy and I’m yours That’s not what gives Taehyung pause, though. No, what makes him squint at the photo is the fact that he’s suddenly almost a hundred percent sure the lips and the hand belong to the guy who just checked him into the hotel. - or; Who knew Taehyung’s stay in a subpar hotel would result in him getting a late-night visitor who’s like the twink of his daydreams? tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, One Night Stand, (Or is it?), meet-cute but make it horny, meeting on a hookup app, sex in a shabby hotel room, Kissing, Blow Jobs, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, yoongi is baby boy and no I do not take criticism concerning that |

| aftermath; 2.5k words, E-rated summary: The post-concert low tends to hit Jungkook the hardest—the stars that shine in his eyes during their time onstage fade and grow dim as soon as the costumes come off and they start gathering their stuff from where it’s scattered around the backstage area. Namjoon rubs a hand down Jungkook’s arm in passing as they walk down the hall toward the cars waiting in the back, a gesture that’s meant to soothe, to ground them both back in reality. Jungkook looks up, a flash of slightly dull eyes and half a smile, an attempted mask of normalcy. Namjoon sees right through it, and he knows Jungkook is aware that he does. So once he gets back home, Namjoon showers and brushes his teeth and settles down in his bed with a book, and he waits. tags: Canon Compliant, PTD Seoul D3 post concert blues, Hurt/Comfort, Cuddling & Snuggling, Hand Jobs, Mutual Pining |

How would one ever be able to quit Jeon Jungkook?

Occasionally childish, overly emotional, lacking insight that Namjoon himself has gathered over the years. Brash and impulsive and at times fucking annoying—and so, so brilliant. Namjoon wants him in every possible way one can want another person. It stings, because whenever he dares to entertain even a sliver of hope that he might get to have this, his inner realist chimes in with remarks that slash said hope to shreds. Not only does Jungkook work for him—strike one—but he’s also younger by fourteen years, give or take a few weeks—strike two. Then there’s the issue of him being a guy.

Below an unruly mop of curly black hair, a pair of round eyes stare at him. There are two rings wrapped around the guy’s lower lip, near the right corner of his mouth. He doesn’t look like a student—maybe he’s the older brother of the kid Namjoon is here to tutor? “I’m Kim Namjoon,” Namjoon says. “I’m here for Jungkook’s English lesson.” “Oh, shit, that was today?” The guy rubs his temples. “Well. You can go into the office and, I don’t know, set up your stuff—” He waves his hand in the direction of a door near the corner of the living room. “I’ll be there in a bit.

The store clerk is behind the counter, scrolling on his phone, and the only other people in the store are way back by the baked goods.

This is insane. You’re insane.” Namjoon shrugs with a smile. Maybe he is insane, but in his opinion, paying to have the place all to themselves seems like a good tradeoff when it means he gets to hold Jungkook’s hand as they walk through the exhibitions. Jungkook looks down at the invitation again, shaking his head in disbelief. “‘You are cordially invited’,” he reads, snorting, “‘to accompany Mr. Kim Namjoon on a Date at the art museum.’ Hyung, what the hell?” He looks up, his eyes sparkling. “You’re ridiculous.” - or; namkook go on a date in the art museum tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, CEO Kim Namjoon | RM, Assistant Jeon Jungkook, (more like ex-assistant but whatever), Aged-Up Character(s), Age Difference, Established Relationship, Fluff, Domestic Fluff, namkook being cute |

Please just believe me when I say it would never have worked out.” A brief silence, followed by a frustrated huff. “No, not because of—more like we were too similar, in a way.

Min Yoongi's hair is dark and wavy, past his eyebrows and parted so a sliver of his forehead is visible. Below the hair, two keen eyes look at Jungkook, measuring him in the same way he’s measuring Yoongi. A round nose. Pretty lips. Jungkook’s gaze pauses on them for a second.

Then, with a decisive push of the door, he stepped outside and was gone. Taehyung shimmied closer to Jungkook. “Well, he was hot, huh?” he said with a teasing click of his tongue, his elbow jabbing Jungkook’s ribs in a way that was the opposite of subtle.

Yoongi looks up and grins. “No worries, I’m not judging your reading preferences. I’m just scouring my competition for the night.” Namjoon snorts out a laugh and the dimples reappear. “Oh. Ha.

He’s like this with everyone. Tactile. Likes being held. He’s been like this ever since Jungkook moved into their shared apartment—very touchy. With everyone, not just Jungkook, so it doesn’t mean— Jungkook stops the train of thought before it can leave the station, because that thought only has the power to make him sad. It’s a thought that holds a dark undercurrent of what-ifs and but-it-will-nevers, a rush of bitterness that Jimin is wholly undeserving of. Because it indicates that being Jimin’s friend is not enough, that it’s something pathetic and miserable. Being Jimin’s friend is anything but miserable; it’s fantastic.

He unscrews the cap and takes a sip, swallows slowly and then says, “So. I think I may have accidentally acquired a sugar baby.” Yoongi chokes on a lump of rice and coughs for nearly ten seconds.

| like marshmallows; 23.2k words, T-rated summary: After getting fired, Jungkook takes the wrong turn through a construction site and somehow ends up working in an occult shop. He figures it’s just selling witchy knick-knacks, black candles and wine-red notebooks embossed with symbols—but occasionally one corner of the shop starts emitting mist that attempts to grab him, the drawer under the register tries to eat his fingers, and there are glass jars with very questionable contents in the storage room… So something weird is definitely going on. Funnily enough, the flashy shopkeeper seems fully unbothered by the strange occurrences, and spends most of his time concocting explosive potions and talking to the fire crackling in the fireplace behind the register. (Sometimes Jungkook is sure the fire actually responds. What the fuck.) So, while the risks of working in the shop definitely exceed the usual hazards of an average retail job, maybe Jungkook wants to stick around because it pays well.

| threat level assessment; 6.7k words, E-rated summary: Jungkook is so close that Taehyung can almost feel his lips curve into a smile against the side of his neck. “I do have a job to do, you know.” Taehyung closes his eyes, leaning back just a fraction of a centimeter, enough to create several points of contact between their bodies: his shoulder blades to Jungkook’s chest, his ass grazing Jungkook’s crotch, teasing, but not with enough pressure to register as a proper touch. “A job, that you’re doing here in the bathroom right now?” Taehyung asks cheekily. The end of his sentence dissolves into a breathy exhale that almost sounds like a moan, when Jungkook tilts his head and his lips come in contact with the shell of Taehyung’s ear—a feather-light brush of mouth on skin. “Maybe I’m assessing your threat level,” Jungkook whispers. - or; Taehyung is a rich heir who needs to bring a girl to a charity gala, so he hires an escort.

| feel your thumbs press into my skin again (welcome home); 10.8k words, M-rated summary: There’s a lingering awkwardness in their words and movements, because it’s been eight months since they saw each other and almost three since the last skype call, when Yoongi watched Taehyung drape himself around Jungkook’s back as they talked about Yoongi’s work, and Jungkook’s work, and Taehyung’s paintings and his garden, and then moved on to other kinds of chit-chat that wasn’t really meaningful in a way their conversations used to be.
