Summary
"Forget I said anything, I was just," Mingi cleared his throat, steadying his voice. "Making sure."
His tone regained its smoothness, the richness and reclaimed calm of it reaching Yunho's ears. The phone's speaker carried the sound across the entire room.
"Yeah," Yunho muttered. He drew a breath through parted lips.
He reached to knead at the back of his neck, staring at nothing in particular.
(or: Mingi misinterprets that Yunho is touching himself while on call. Yunho doesn't realize that's even an option—until he considers it.) -

Summary
The glass door opened and the light shone on this new customer, basking him in warmth. His gaze wandered across the entire space, floating around each sparkling item with slightly parted lips. The cold caught in his throat made his breath visible as he exhaled.
"Hello," he greeted, wiping his shoes on the mat. The sound traveled across the spacious store—it rang like a greeting bell; melodic, honeyed, songlike.
Changbin nearly leapt from behind the counter.
(or: a repeated encounter at Changbin's job leads him to question the definition of a work crush and what brings people together during the holidays.)

Summary
A notification chirped out of Seungmin's phone.
Changbin had sent a mirror selfie from his bathroom, standing right under the gleaming white lights, in his sportswear—faint smile on display. The sink he was pressing his weight against was covering his lower body, and his black cap was casting a shadow over his eyes and forehead.
Changbin sending that image on a random evening and continuing the conversation over text meant something… Seungmin wanted to find out, despite his drowsiness. Despite knowing he was about to lose some much needed sleep.
(or: Seungmin wants to rest after a long day; Changbin sends him a selfie. And another selfie. And another.)

Summary
Seungmin's phone lit up—the clock read 01:52 a.m.
The faint blue light emitting from the screen couldn't compare to the lights of the tunnel he was standing under.
Its walls arched above Seungmin, colossal and immense. He felt small in the presence of such a monumental build—an awe-inspiring feeling. One that sat heavy within him and deepened his breaths.
He had to call Changbin.
(or: Seungmin learns that thoughts kept and hidden within us are lifeless, and it's up to us to breathe life into them. He finds the strength to undo his mistakes and reconnect with his best friend.)

one of the most compelling matz dynamics i've encountered, omg!! i like how concise the premise felt, you're immediately swooped into whatever piteous fwb situation they have going on (^^),, i love miserable, spiteful, and unsettled matz more than anything, so this was a *staple* in that type of dynamic for meeee :-) ♡ everything was so provocative; i loved the tension, the possessiveness, and brat!hongjoong was a delight to read! reading this so late at night was an experience of its own, so i strongly recommend!!

Summary
‘You guys are tall.’
He repeats. Like a fucking caveman.
Jesus.
Something flicks into Wooyoung’s gaze then, the worry dissipating instantaneously. Yunho almost feels whiplash at the change, a second’s notice between concern and one of Wooyoung’s most predatory smiles, laugh already in his throat. Yunho’s ears feel like they’re on fire, embarrassment flaring a hot low in his stomach.
Wooyoung’s confident in stepping toward him as he notices it all.
Yunho’s no fucking quitter as he stands his ground. (Weakly).
'Yun, is it turning you on that we’re finally as tall as you baby?’
or,
yunho and mingi enter their senior year going strong as best friends and college roommates (who fuck). but really, there’s a lot of change on the horizon and nothing can ever be that simple for long, especially when yunho’s still got so much to learn about himself, size kink included.

this,,,,was so much more sentimental,, and tender,,, and emotionally laden than i was expecting,, but, honestly, i plunged into this fic with little to no expectations, so it's fine! i didn't even know this was the *third* fwb yungi that this wonderful author wrote, omg! >< i read it pretty slow, making sure to savor it and enjoy the journey, especially with that 'this has very kinky sex but you have to earn it' tag;; x-)c what i got before that, though, is,,,, the most gut-wrenchingly *real* portrayal of post-grad existential dread that, in turn, triggered *my* fears & doubts about it!! so much that i,,, genuinely questioned what i was going to do with my degree afterwards, tmi,, ^^ but it was *so worth it*! the narrative w/ hongjoong's runway,, made me cry so hard ^_^ again, super organic, beautifully depicted, very well-built; the tight-knit relationships of the entire group was this fic's greatest foundation, which lead to the culminatory runway & all the greatness afterwards with the earned smut hehdhdhe :-D ♡ helloooo, first time reading subspace, very worth it. love me some 30k+ word one shots, lots of respect for that!!

Summary
Mingi has always liked girls so why does he find himself staring at the fly swimmer from the opposite team? Why does his chest ache when he looks at him and his skin itch with a weird feeling? Maybe he should go talk to Hongjoong?
Yunho knows why he keeps staring at the breaststroke swimmer from the opposite team. But every time he tries to initiate anything, the other man just seems confused and hesitant. Oh. He’s fallen for a straight guy.
Aka. Mingi struggling with his new found feelings for someone he’s never met before and Yunho being patient, loving and willing to wait until Mingi finds his feet.

for an abundance of reasons, this fanfic is incredibly dear to me,, ^^ aside from the fact that i took my great, great time reading this (purposefully delaying it at many points, btw), it's important to note that this was the first fanfic that i started writing my thoughts on as i went through it in my jot-in notebook! there, i transferred so many quotes & chronicled my feelings about it—which included a lot of praise for the writing style, the poignant, precise way mingi's character is built, and so much love for the feelings it left within me after finishing it;;; so good! what i'm most endeared by is that you can tell just how devoted the author is to swimming as a sport, as a passion; the burden of it, but also the opportunities and qualities it shapes within the swimmer. the synthesis between the physical and mental abilities required, the inner world reflecting on the surface & influencing your performance in its most crucial moments. also, i learned so much swimming terminology, it's insane x-)) very grateful to be able to interact with this fanfic and let it alter so much of me! a good fanfic changes you, for sure; it stuck around for a long while after i finished it. i cried so much, too!! >.< to wrap this up, i just wanna give a *little* spoiler & share what i jotted down at one point: "this is the most tense + sad i've been after a shower masturbation scene" ♡ ^^ perfectly encapsulates the ups-and-downs of my emotions throughout the whole story!! HIGHLY recommend! :,,)

this fiiiicccc, omgg ^_^ i love it so much, it has become an instant classic for me! the progression of seonghwa's character arc and his inner flurries, as well as his relationship with hongjoong developing with each session of theirs, was so intriguing & well-developed!! i like the attention to detail when fleshing out what makes seonghwa tick & the gradual realization of his sexuality; everything felt organic, nothing was rushed (nor dawdled), and it was a blast to read! :-DDc also, love me some dpr ian, his presence here was so wonderful! this story is worth the re-read every time and i can't wait to discover more and more with each revisit (^o^) ♡

Summary
Hongjoong has a massive crush on a man from his psychology class who also happens to be a couples therapist, and Wooyoung takes it upon himself to become the best wingman possible by booking himself an appointment with said therapist. The only problem? He can’t exactly attend couples therapy by himself.
Naturally, he pins a flyer to a cafe message board, and it’s not long before he receives a call from a man named San who is willing to play the part of Wooyoung’s fake boyfriend. You know, so they can attend couples therapy together despite being complete strangers.
Or: woosan are total idiots who tackle fake dating for the stupidest reason possible
