Summary:
The problem here is not that Yeonjun isn’t an outdoorsy person, but that Soobin really, really is.

Author notes:
First of my 'palate cleanser' spring ficlets, prompt for this was 'outdoors'.

Firstly, Namjoon is like, yeah, let me just like, talk to you about some feelings I'm feeling and some thoughts I'm thinking, and  honestly, I'm glad that he can do that without having to give a flying fuck about it being palatable or easy.




Secondly, SKZ dropped this goddamn bop which is a constant visual and audio attack. Chan at the start slayed me. Changbin's vocals, hello. Felix looks like a fucking Elfquest character. Seungmin continues to bias wreck me in a way that is dub-con at best.




SVT are at it. I am still not over Woozi's fucking hair in this. Or Wonwoo's action start aesthetic really.




But also, then we got this hip-hop unit drop and i know everyone is having conniptions over Mingyu's chest but, uh, excuse you Jeon Wonwoo, can you not?




And then, yes, TXT dropped some new stuff recently too and I really have enjoyed that comeback as a whole, but this fancam of the Yeonjun and Soobin doing Killa came on my feed today and you have to cope with the near hysterical screaming from the audience but it's worth it for *gestures mutely*



Anyway, the point is that there is a lot of real world shit happening in the world at the moment and these parasocial relationships are honestly the least harmful coping mechanism one could be expected to reach so.

Fic Round-Up 2023

Compared to the last two years 2023 was a fucking success writing wise. I smashed the 75k [community profile] getyourwordsout goal with the final total of 78k. Not all of that is finished/published so, according to AO3, the total published word count is ~58k

Wow Kat, what's that sound? Well, glad you asked. It's the sound of me SMASHING through my 75k [community profile] getyourwordsout goal! BOOM! We're currently >78k and there's still a day to go.

*smug*

Much of the words came from a) co-writing done with [personal profile] dreamersdare and b) because I churned over 24k for Spooktober fics/ficlets, even if some of that churning happened after Christmas lol. Posting most of them back-to-back was a really interesting experience actually and I have some reflections.

(under the cut, it's all very self indulgent) )


I was always going to do a Spooktober Masterlist for my own amusement. I know I'm about to list all of these for the 2023 Fic Round Up soon (well... Sometime in Jan?) anyway but there everything will be by fandom so let me just induldge my love of lists *pets the list* so, here, Spooktober Fics in posting order (links will take you to AO3 but if you prefer DW for reading, everything is under the spooktober 2023 tag.

List under a cut due to length! )

***

I have signed up [community profile] getyourwordsout again because I love their spreadsheets. I've gone for the 150k optimistically even though I've never achieved that. It's good to have goals or something?

***

Finally, I wanted to flail about being podficced!!

The lovely [archiveofourown.org profile] pezzax_podfics podficced under his wing (TXT, Choi Soobin/Choi Yeonjun) and turned a tiny ficlet into a full-blown audio drama with music and sound effects and it is so, so extremely cool I absolutely lost mine when listening. Also, please appreciate the cover art! (akdkjsj wings!)

The most awesome [archiveofourown.org profile] pieces0fstars podficced Volcano (Stray Kids, Han Jisung/Lee Minho) and holy shit the emotional impact the recording packs... Look, I obviously had a lot of emotions about the concepts which I wrote immediately after the song dropped. But the thing is, I wrote the fic so I knew what was in the fucker and yet, YET, I was absolutely choked up, clutching my heart, because the performance got that exact frayed, desperate edge I tried to convey in words and... Yeah, please listen.

TXT Recs

top tier and sequel 10 ways to bag your man (Soobin/Yeonjun, Beomgyu/Taehyun, AU) - This author is hilarious and you should read all their fics, but these two especially. In the first the guys find Yeonjun's hookup list and Soobin is distraught to learn that the one time he and Yeonjun kissed didn't even merit a mention. Clear he is forgettable. (spoiler alert: he is wrong on both accounts). In the second, the two of them make a 'top then Beomgyu simping fails' list and make him suffer through it.

A Thousand Times I'd Tell You (Soobin/Yeonjun, canon compliant) - As the summary says, this is the five times Yeonjun confesses, and the one time Soobin actually takes him seriously. Fluffy pining, my jam.

"Love in Time of Godzilla" - a playlist by Choi Yeonjun (Soobin/Yeonjun, AU) - Absolutely wild 24k AU where Godzilla and other weird radiation born critters are roaming the earth and Yeonjun, Soobin and a whole bunch of other familiar names are just trying to keep their theatre company going. This was just hugely entertaining, with a great ensemble cast, and that beautiful 'people living their best lives in worst circumstances' feel. Also, Yeonjun has no chill.

the difference between wish and want (Beomgyu/Taehyun, Soobin/Yeonjun, AU) - in which Taehyun is a cat hybrid on the run and Beomgyu has a very soft heart. It's an adorable hybrid!AU but T rated if the explicit stuff is not your bag and you would like just to imagine cute kitty Taehyun. Super sweet.


SVT Recs

Keyframe (Soonyoung/Jihoon + side pairings, AU) - University AU with a really interesting framing/structure around months and concepts. Jihoon does not want to know or care about Soonyoung. Soonyoung has other ideas. This is a lovely, but also a painful, slide into feelings and working through issues with additional vocabulary lessons. Nothing is easy but it is earned.

adore u series (Wonwoo/Mingyu, Junhui/Minghao, Soonyoung/Jihoon, AU) - This is a university AU series of three fics, one for each couple, and it is full of the friends to lovers slow burn. The stories and relationships connect and develop in parallel and the overall friendship vibe is great, as is the writing.

all eyes on you
(Soonyoung/Jihoon, AU) - I realise there's a theme but I like what I like. This is another university AU but this time Soonyoung is the new wunderkind in the dance department and Jihoon is tired of never feeling like he's enough and starting think maybe dance isn't the path for him after all. The fic is 104k, spans four years and offers alternating povs and so much self-growth that I came out of it feeling like I too was somehow a better person at the end of it too. Another one of those 'things and feelings and people are complicated and you have to work at relationships' fics which are incredibly satisfying. Also, they dance together. A lot. It's... It's definitely worth the entrance fee alone.

100 Days of 143s
(Soonyoung/Jihoon, canon compliant) - In which Jihoon is dared to say 'I love you' to Soonyoung every day for 100 days. Which is excruciating because Jihoon is disgustingly in love and Soonyoung isn't. Or... Listen, we absolutely know where this is going but the ride there is first rate: 89k, rating never goes above G, the relationship and personal development is amazing, the misunderstanding are classic ('oh no my crush has a crush, who could it be') but well executed, we have multiple povs and did... Did I mention it's canon compliant? Because I loved that, for me.

Today has been a Monday and I do not wish to deal with reality. Therefore, a live performance of my favourite song from TXT's latest mini-album, which I loved wholly and unabashedly. Like yes please, give me this Lost Boys fairycore Neverland vibe, thank you.

Anyway, the MV and two performances. For... idk, reference? Evidence?

I am winning at marking. I have achieved a lot cheese in my mouth/belly and a lot of kpop content on my eyes, and now I have my friends over and today we walked a stupid amount of steps.

Anyway, in a fit of optimism and on principle of 'you don't get if you don't ask' I have gone done [community profile] fandomtrees post. It is here. But because my requested fandoms may actually get more traction on my circle, I'm just going to post the requests here as well... To surprise of no one they are very K-pop heavy :D
