🪩 archiveofourown.org/works/61258633

#vhope
Hobi on a bed with a giant disco ball. Layered underneath is a four line colourful wiggle design in dark green, olive green, yellow and orange-red. Hobi is hoding his ear and holding a hand to the disco ball with his eyes closed like he's DJing on decks. Disco Overload shyseoul Summary: Skate Night is around the corner and Taehyung has the perfect plan to secure a date with his crush, Hoseok.

I just finished this an hour ago. It’s a really beautiful short story that touched me, and I thought the writing was so naturally pretty, evocative and rich. I hope you enjoy it!

🍊 It May As Well Be New, by @tenderjimim.bsky.social

archiveofourown.org/works/59338663

#taejoon
An image of Taehyung from the shoulders upwards looking to the side of the camera on the left with a sad, forlorn expression. It’s overlaid on a low opacity image of white smoke and there are some soft plumes of smoke overlaid on top. It May As Well Be New tender_tenderly Summary: “Kim Namjoon. Chonnam?” the man says. Taehyung blinks. Kim Namjoon. Rings a bell. But to say that out loud would be unwise. “University? I’m not sure I remember,” he says, frowning. “We had freshman bio together. We used to sneak out of the labs early,” the man says, persistent. He frowns. “Do you really not remember?” - Taehyung remembers bumming his first smoke off of Namjoon. He remembers kissing him right after.

I've been reading this the last few days, and it's so cool! I love both JK and Namjoon's personalities in it, and I've laughed out loud several times. A lovely dose of sweetness, spice, and magic realism (maybe) I love it!

Namu Doryeong, by @notnacre.bsky.social

🧚ao3.org/works/62001631
#namkook
Jungkook in a blue shirt with the first couple of buttons open, looking upwards in semi profile with a pensive expression. He has three earings in the ear that's visible, one large hoop and two dangy ones with metal beads (??). He's overlaid on top of an image of a forest with glowing light, and some decorative stars in gold. Namu Doryeong Mother of Pearl (notnacre) Summary: For years, there have been rumors of a wild man living alone in the woods, stealing toothpaste from village homes and leaving mysterious piles of twigs on doorsteps. When Jungkook spots a stranger sneaking around one night, he makes it his business to find out what he’s up to--and maybe save the village.

First minimoni rec on this account, yay, and it's /really/ cute. Like, so cute and warm and golden. They're both such sweet dummies. But also a very relatable situation, ahem. Please enjoy!

waking up (yes or no?), by @onthistangent.bsky.social

🛌 ao3.org/works/51327847
Namjoon in a white tshirt, tucked into some cream pants. He has his hands in his pocket, and his hair is slightly outgrown, with a longer back and a swoopy fringe. His hair is dark, dark brown and he's looking to the right of camera with a pensive glare. Overlaid on top of a picture of a bed with unmade covers and sheets, with some sunshine reflections of the window on the wall behind. There are some loose white linen drapes to the left of the bed. Added golden stars all over the photo underneath the image of Namjoon and on top of the layer of the bed. (Restricted) waking up (yes or no?) onthistangent Summary: “It’s weird to think about how we may have already had this conversation last night, but neither of us remembers it,” Namjoon muses. A huff of laughter escapes Jimin’s lips. “Yeah.” “And as for your question, I know my clothes might indicate I’m a teacher or a librarian—” Jimin laughs again. “Not right now at least.” Namjoon looks down at his shirtless chest. “Oh. Right. But usually it’s like—cardigans and shit.” - or; strangers Jimin and Namjoon wake up naked hungover in the same bed with no recollection of how they ended up there and then try to piece together what happened the previous night. And maybe fall for each other a little bit in the process?

This one was gifted to me in the Hobi Exchange, and everyone. Let me tell you, it is the sweetest, warmest, most lovely dragon fic ever. Even thinking about it makes me tear up. Please enjoy it 🙏

Warm and Golden, by @bbygirlhobi.bsky.social

🐉 ao3.org/works/62610961

#namseok, dragon hybrids
Hobi with long lavender hair pulled back from his face and hanging over hisshoulders. He's wearing an all white kind of modern style hanbok and he has rings on his fingers. He's standing in profile looking out in the distance, and his face is pensive and reflective. Overlaid over a sky with clouds, and a golden dragon pattern. Warm and Golden bbygirlhobi Summary: The dragon turns away from Hoseok, and with a single exhale, breathes a roaring stream of fire into the stone hearth. The air warms quickly, but Hoseok trembles all the same. He is quick to slip from the edge of the bed, dropping down onto the cold stone so that he is kneeling, head bowed and hands clasped meekly behind his back. “I think there’s been some mistake,” Hoseok whispers to the floor, voice as loud as he dares to speak. “Oh?” and there is surprise in the dragon’s tone. “I-I’m not the Prince. I am not your fated mate,” Hoseok says, voice shaking. “I’m sorry, my Lord.” Or Golden dragon Namjoon takes servant Hoseok back to his lair instead of the prince, convinced Hoseok is his fated mate.

I've been mainlining Hopekook like its caffeine, and this one is so cute. Second chance/childhood friends, adorable, pining, omegaverse, basically all of my buzzwords.

we'll meet again (just like we hoped), by sirradel.bsky.social

☕ ao3.org/works/50284888

#hopekook, omegaverse
Jungkook in a black wool coat, and a green patterned knit sweater. He's cocking his head to the side and softly half smiling with slightly narrowed eyes. His hair is parted to the side, and the ends are bleached. Overlaid over an image of a coffee shop, with gold leaf details (flowers and leaves). we’ll meet again (just like we hoped) sirradel Summary: The last time they had seen each other, Hoseok was leaving to Seoul for college. He had been so slight back then, just a few months out from his presentation, but Jeongguk had been even smaller as an unpresented omega that was three years his junior. Hoseok was lean like Jeongguk remembered, but Jeongguk worked people out for a living. He knew those new muscles held strength to them. Years had passed since then, catapulting them into adulthood and lives that no longer included one another. With an opportunity to catch up and get Hoseok back in his life, Jeongguk refused to give it up. Or, the one where childhood friends Jeongguk and Hoseok find each other again and it's no time at all before Jeongguk falls in love without even realizing it.

A friend recommended this to me knowing my tastes well I think, and oh my god. It might be the cutest koo I've ever read. His thoughts while in spider mode just made me so happy. This is such a wonderful story.

🕷️Itsy Bitsy Spider Koo, by @blueandgrey77.bsky.social

#namkook, spider hybrids
An image of Jungkook with grown out greenish/blue hair. His roots are black. He's wearing a boating style sweater, with the same shade of greeny/blue on the collar, and a white tee underneath and looking to camera with a cute head tilt and soft expression, mouth open and eyes wide. In the background, low opacity images of flowers and spider webs, and two white additional spider web vectors in full opacity overload on top. The same background in low opacity of spider webs on some dead flowers (possibly cowslip I'm not good with plant names unfortunately). This image also has an additional black vector of a spider web and illustrated style spider coming down from the top right corner. Text overlaid in black reads: Itsy Bitsy Spider Koo blueandgrey7 Summary: Spider hybrid Jungkook just wants to rent his first apartment post-graduation and get his adult life started. But no one wants to rent to a spider hybrid, so he has no choice but to sneak into an empty unit. All is well for a while; he even finds a perfect shower corner to build his sleeping web... And then Namjoon moves in.

I read this story just this morning and am really excited to see where it goes! I've just been in such a mood for Sope focused stories of late, and this one is giving me strong comforting vibes with just enough angst.

🌼 Not a coincidence by @ninjaswearsneakers.bsky.social

#sope, a/b/o dynamics
An image of Yoongi crouched down with his chin in his hands looking off screen slightly sadly/pensively. He's wearing a kind of grey flat cap/beret, and a white shirt with blue stripes. He has a black flower necktie with tulle ribbons, and black pants. It's overlaid on top of a low opacity image of a flower field, and then there are some lavender sprigs overlaid on top in full opacity. For the fic: Not a coincidence by Ninjawearssneakers Ongoing, Chapter 1/4 A/b/o dynamics Image is a low opacity image of a flower field with text overlaid. Text: Not a Coincidence NinjasWearSneakers Summary: Omegas are the least common subgender. Yoongi is not entirely happy being one, especially since his parents have become rather cold to him since his presentation. So when they arrange for him to marry an alpha he's never met, he supposes it can't really be too much worse than staying with them.

I had an urge to read Sopekook this week, I feel like we need more Sopekook. It's funny that this is set in a cafe, because it feels like a cup of hot chocolate to read. They're all adorable, its really warming.

Happy Friday! I'm enjoying reading this ongoing Jinkook story, which is very seasonal feeling and warm. I also enjoy anything with bookshop setting. I hope you guys enjoy it too <3

Our Story Through Season by @kuragecharms.bsky.social

Title: Our story through seasons Main tags: Inspired by You've got mail, Inspired by She loves me, bookstore, stardew valley references Ship: Jinkook Rating: Mature Summary: It was an impulse to text the number Jungkook found on a napkin one day. Maybe it was just from feeling lonely, or because of the weather, or something else that Jungkook didn't have a name for. But either way, when he got messages back, his life was forever changed. Their story here told through the seasons, through text messages, and through a game that Jungkook loved. Image: Jin from the running wild video, with a red college sweater with a patchwork style M embroidered on. He has dark hair and a chain and he's looking slightly off camera, into the distance.

Two fics from the @btsdisabilityfest.bsky.social today.

The Man Next Door (With the Big Muscles), by @purpleink7pot.bsky.social

🔑 ao3.org/works/60242647
The Man Next Door (With the Big Muscles) purpleink7pot Summary: The person's eyes were… Well, maybe it was just because they were wide, but even then, their eyes were quite big, looking at Namjoon with such fear and shock that it almost scared him, too. Beyond the person's eyes, though, Namjoon couldn't notice much else as the person immediately ducked their head, gave a quick bow, and slid past Namjoon so fast that they almost seemed to trip on their feet. Shit, Namjoon scared them. OR married namgi see a new man move in next door and they cannot be normal about it to save their lives image: jungkook with mullet and white t-shirt, looking upwards in semi profile with his eyes closed. image is black and white, overlaid on a background of an illustrated cloud scene. decorations of pink bows, and stars.

And I just think the concept of this one is so hot and so CUTE. And hot. Did I say hot? Gonna to be real vulnerable here and tell you all that if I dated Namjoon IRL, I'd probably do the same.

Hi everyone! Two recommendations today that I read over the last few weeks.

I've been wanting to read more sope (sope!!!), and I'm SUCH a sucker for hurt/comfort and reluctant caretaking. Hoseok in this ;_; <3 plus chaos group dynamics!

Intoxicated by @creambunkoo.bsky.social
#ot7 #jungkook
🐺 ao3.org/works/62860921
Intoxicated creambunkoo Summary: He becomes outright clingy with Hoseok, nose nuzzling at the exposed skin of the alpha's nape, and then Jungkook casts his eyes down with something too much like submission when Namjoon's fingers brush Jungkook's, handing him a bottle of water— The realization hits Namjoon like a punch in the gut. The omega is scent drunk. Jungkook meets 6 alphas who look after him when he accidentally gets drunk on their scents. But when he goes back to his normal life, to his lonely room in the omega dorms, he can't stop thinking about them. image: Jungkook head on with blue hair, and a sweatervest. He's tilting his head and looking onto camera with a wide eyed expression and a slight pout. The image has been rendered into golden and purple tones.

Someone recommended "anything by gimmethatagustd" on neospring, and i feel you! They're so prolific that it was hard to pick, but I just started this one so I thought I'd recommend so you can read with me ;_;
