Happy New Year!

Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in December:

MDZS/CQL Fic Recs

Arranged marriage with a twist, I liked this a lot:

Butcher's Breath, Nie Mingjue/Jin Guangyao, 5k, mature
Nie Mingjue cannot do the one thing Jin Guangyao was relying on him to do. No matter how utterly he claimed to reject Jin Guangyao before, he accepts the fucking proposal.

Nie Mingjue's only condition is that they be married according to traditional Nie custom.


Nirvana in Fire Fic Recs

Another arranged-marriage-with-a-twist fic that I liked a great deal. Thanks to [personal profile] donutsweeper for the rec!

our hands are hearts are empty, Xiao Jingyan/Lin Shu | Mei Changsu, 9k, general audiences
Twelve years after the Chiyan massacre Jingyan, bitter and grieving, is urgently called back to the capital and presented by unexpected marching orders by his mother: he's to leave his military career and marry Mei Changsu, an eighteen-years-old maiden who claims to be a daughter of his mother's old friend, mysterious Mei Shinan. Jingyan is furious, but he's too filial a son to disobey his mother...

Very cool premise for this fic:

As Dreams Are Made Of, gen, 15k, mature
Jingyan is a dreamwalker, a trait that's never improved his popularity at court, especially since he can't control it. The dreams of people in the capital are many, varied, and full of secrets--and lately, they seem to also be full of Mei Changsu.

Why is everyone so obsessed with the man anyway?


K-pop RPF

Another fic based on ATEEZ's 'Bouncy' music video rather than their actual personalities. I've now acquired enough 'Bouncy'-inspired fics that I created a post for them.

A Deep Delight of the Blood, Choi San/Jung Wooyoung, 3k, explicit
Win or lose, San knows he's being used. He just doesn't care.


I found an author with a bunch of short fics for various groups, including SHINee, Seventeen, BTS, and Zerobaseone. This one was my favorite, but I read a bunch more and recommend exploring their works page if you like your RPF short and cute, short and smutty, or short, cute, AND smutty.

Let Me Count the Ways, Kim Kibum/Choi Minho, 1k (exactly!), explicit
To start off with, Minho's muscles are incredibly annoying


And one more Minkey fic I enjoyed:

take me higher, love me wider, Kim Kibum/Choi Minho, 5k, explicit
It’s either pining forever or admitting the quiet reality of the situation: Kibum is head over ass, truly and madly and deeply and fondly in love with Choi Minho. What a disaster.


Happy reading!
