Stray Kids Fic Recs - Rare Pairs/Moresomes
(idk if Minchan counts as rare pair exactly but it is at least rarer...)
can't help myself when you get close - Chan/Minho, AU. Minho goes to collect his stuff from an ex's apartment, only to find a (hot) stranger living there instead. A (hot) helpful stranger. Delightful meet cute/ugly.
Don't Let Me Burst into Flames - Chan/Minho, AU. Magical AU where Minho saves an injured phoenix and gets his cute neighbour involved in the whole thing as well. Great detail about how complex it actually would be to have a phoenix in a small flat...
the gold of the universe wells to your touch - Chan/Minho, omegaverse and royalty AU. Like this is such great tropey trash (lovingly) and you get exactly what it says on the tin: alpha prince Chan marrying omega Minho for political and heir production reason. Feelings occur.
An ex voto to your wellbeing. - Chan/Changbin, canon compliant. Feeds my head canon where Binnie just wants to help, in any way possible. Adorable fic where Changbin's relentless caretaking finally makes Chan catch a clue. Ahhh my heartttt. Binnie getting what he wants is like, healing for my soul. This is so careful and lovely.
Kissable - Chan/Changbin (with hints of future OT3racha). Changbin keeps kissing Chan. Eventually Chan does something about it. Look, this is so great. Changbin is so confident, Chan is so confused and Jisung is cleverer than he lets on. Feat. that pocky game.
the most precious thing - Chan/Changbin, AU. This is hands down one of the best fics I've read dealing with aftermath of child abuse/trauma (never described in graphic detail and the exact nature of it remains unexplained which is such a good choice from the author) and how that affects your relationships (all types) as an adult, and how difficult it is to then let yourself rely on others. The premise is that Chan discovers his (fictional, not real) older sister had a kid (Jisung) when the social services dump the five-year-old kid on his doorstep and dealing with him forces Chan to deal with everything he and his sister went through as kids themselves. The pairing is Chan/Changbin and that too is handled incredibly well. Mind the tags, and know that the author really gets the long-term psychological effect of child neglect/abuse so be aware of that going in. Outstanding. Highly recced.
that time han saved changbin from death by bench press - Changbin/Jisung, AU. The gym bro crush fic we all needed in our lives. Bonus points for phone text sections because I love me the modern epistolary fic of selcas and emojis.
It was (always) you - Changbin/Jisung, AU. Jisung's heart breaks and breaks and breaks, and Changbin is there to pick up the pieces every time. It takes a while but eventually Jisung figures out where his heart is save. This is very cheesy, unabashedly, and that's part of the charm.
your name here - Chan/Minho/Felix, AU. The y/n fic I can get behind. In which Chan and Minho are a famous producer/solo artist couple and Felix is an avid fan who writes smutty self-insert fics about them... And then they show up as clients at a restaurant Felix waiters in. Listen, this is Exactly As Cliched and Horny as you'd expect but it is, like, purposefully and skilfully so. A treat of a fic.
If You Could - OT8. This is filthy with absolutely impeccable group interactions, deliciously switchy power dynamics all over the place and yet with so much soft emotions laced through. Honestly closest I've seen to some of my personal headcanons that isn't fic that was either written by me or![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dreamersdare. Writing gsf (do people still use this abbreviation?) is hard and writing good gsf is harder and this fic delivers so extremely well. Highly recced.
