Last post of SKZ recs for a while. May switch to other groups next week.

SKZ Fic Recs - Get It Seungminnie!
i.e. The Other Seungmin Pairings I Like = 5 Hyunjin/Seungmin + 5 Changbin/Seungmin

in this light you look like heaven - Hyunjin/Seungmin, AU. The perfect 'homoerotic melancholic road trip fic' as it's tagged. Hyunjin needs to run away. Seugmin needs to go with him. This is very Richard-Siken-in-a-car-with-a-beautiful-boy coded and I am absolutely here for it. Lovely, painful, fragile growing up fic (with implied child abuse) where everyone's heart is bruised so giving them up for safekeeping isn't easy.

What We Left In LA - Hyunjin/Seungmin, canon compliant. I really love canon compliant fics and this is a great combination of mutual pining, misunderstandings and drunkenness.

An Accident Waiting To Happen - Hyunjin/Seungmin, canon compliant. The summary of this fic is extremely accurate: "Hyunjin's cute aggression towards Seungmin is getting severely out of hand." This is hilarious and everyone is on point. Mmm biting.

just a little bit of tenderness - Hyunjin/Seungmin, AU. Uni library meet-cute with plenty of flirting followed by art museum date followed by a start of a relationship. This is just lovely getting together and settling together story. The sex is both extremely filthy and like, stupidly wholesome.

다 괜찮아 | everything is fine - Hyunjin/Seungmin, canon compliant. Art as an expression of love, my precious trope baby. Seungmin give Hyunjin a song as a birthday gift but it takes him a little while to get the full meaning. Perfect use of the canonical 'my singer' possessive.

Better Than Movies - Changbin/Seungmin, AU. This was inspired by Music and Lyrics (2007) movie and thus caters directly to my 'creating art together as expression of love' trope love. Seungmin is a lyricist (sort of) sent to work with burnt-out songwriter Changbin to create a hit love song for his boss' idol wannabe daughter. Along the way some relationships get mended. Nice backstory alongside the main romance.

fascinating (new) thing - Changbin/Seungmin, AU. A repeated meet-cute turns an old acquaintance into a new something else, alongside reviving some old friendships. Extremely cute.

Paper Rings - Changbin/Seungmin, AU. Seungmin's childhood crush friend who he hasn't thought about in years, honest, is suddenly back in his life thanks to meddling mothers, and it is extremely awkward but also... leads to some hot drunken make-outs. This is just plain fun and sweet.

dead last as a drama queen - Changbin/Seungmin, AU. In which Seungmin is a solo artist and Changbin is his manager... Until he suddenly isn't any more. Seungmin does not handle it well, like at all. Ahhh he angst, the pining, the miscommunication, the outstanding cameos. This is so great.

glow - Changbin/Seungmin, canon compliant. Texting in bed whilst on tour together. Then sending pictures in bed whilst... You see where this is going. Filthy but sweet.
