I devoured this in one day then spent the next two still thinking about it. the development of both plot and relationship are done so well, namjin meeting as kindred aesthetes and they're just falling headlong into each other for better or for worse asdjfgjkgll

also, author has a great username

if you aren't reading this you are sleeping on a GREAT wip

🥺🥺🥺

Really love this one a lot! Love the magic creatures and humans alike.

Firelight dances over him like a dozen hands caressing his skin, gentle and smooth. He is, as has become the norm, the most beautiful person in the room—in any room. Namjoon’s gut is already clenching with terror and anticipation in equal measure, because he now knows the next words that will come out of Seokjin’s mouth, and he does not want to hear it—but, of course, he will not have a choice. Seokjin is implacable. Once set upon a path, he is a force unto himself: a swarm, a storm, a fucking bomb. [A/B/O idolverse AU, where Kim Seokjin isn't the beta that Namjoon and the rest of the world thinks he is, but it takes BTS years to figure that out.]

mod note - at the risk of seeming like an arrogant jerk, I am using @starcasticallyy.bsky.social rec of my own work 😆

In 2032, BigHit creates the world’s first extra-human boy band. Recently signed talent, Kim Namjoon, is tasked with developing BangtanBoyz android members. In 2038, Kim Seokjin, android and key visual, jokes that Namjoon is his celebrity crush during a nationally televised interview. The only problem is that Seokjin isn’t joking, and worse: he and Namjoon have been hooking up behind closed doors for years. But what does it mean to fall in love with an android? For Namjoon it means the disproval of society, the label, and worst of all—himself.

mod note: best write up in awhile T_T

Kim Namjoon knows how hard his Hyung has been working and thinks he deserves to be taken care of. But the guy Kim Seokjin brought home doesn’t fit Joonies standards.

#namjinfic #namjinficrec

Summary Seokjin turns around, and all Namjoon can see is his silhouette in the distant streetlight. "Do you believe in magic, Namjoon?” No, would have been Namjoon’s answer, had Seokjin asked just an hour prior. Magic exists in books, in stories, in childhood fantasies, not in the streets of Seoul, just around the corner. But present Namjoon has seen a dragon glide through the sky, has heard the magic of I love you too, and so he stays silent, listens.

#namjinfic #btsfic

I've been in a long fic mood. This fic was long enough to start with, but the author dropped a brand new almost 40k chapter 2 years after the fic "ended." Plus, it has a smutty little sequel. Author is @/cupcake_sabu on the tweeters.

When a pair of arms dealers wind up dead, detective partners Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin are sent undercover as them in order to find out who they were planning to sell to. The twist? These two arms dealers happen to be married, and Namjoon and Seokjin's undercover operation is about to give a whole new definition to the term 'partner'.

Reason for rec: This fic has so many delightful tropes (only one bed, omegaverse gift-giving, idiots to lovers), and it executes them expertly!

recced by: Mod
Reason for rec: This is a beautifully written but unusual story that you don't often find in Namjin fan fiction. It will break your heart in all the right ways!

Summary: From first memory to final breath, there were two constants in Namjoon’s life: the saxophone and Kim Seokjin.
