Summary
Laurent is a ragdoll, pulled down into the dark at improbable speed. The lift it makes in his stomach is odd, like the giddy drop on a rollercoaster. A moment of elation, perhaps, before he dies.
He breaks the surface.
His gasping mouth now pulls in air, his feet firmly on the rock bottom of the spring and legs holding him up unshakably. Water streams from his head, down his body, as though a bucket had been dumped over his head. He reaches up to push his sopping hair from his eyes.
“Naiad,” a voice says.
Laurent stills. Psychological collapse should be allowed, by the universe, to be a solitary affair, especially when it happens in a state of complete undress. It’s unfair on a cosmic level that Laurent should be happened upon by a stranger in his current condition.
---
On holiday with his brother in Ios, Laurent bathes in a hot spring. Unfortunately, he drowns. Even more unfortunately, when he surfaces somehow, he finds himself thrust back in time. Dropped into the middle of a mythologised ancient war for the Akielon throne, he is determined to get back to the modern day - even after ending up kidnapped (or perhaps rescued) by the rightful King, Damianos.

Summary
Seokjin is twenty-three and living his best life. He doesn’t want to deal with negative bullshit like his uptight neighbour’s unsolicited comments on how he’s actually a hot mess. Namjoon, meanwhile, is thirty-nine, stressed trying to get tenure, and does not want to listen to his twink-neighbour’s sex parties.
Too bad they’re desperate to fuck each other.

Summary
Seonghwa has a life worked out just the way he likes it. He teaches middle school science (and loves it), he hangs out with his best friends San and Wooyoung at the cafe they own, and with those two major sources of chaos in his life, he definitely prefers a nice quiet personal life.
But when he has a chance meeting with idol Hongjoong at a fansign, he can’t deny there’s a spark between them. (Wooyoung, for his part, is more than happy to encourage this spark along.) Seonghwa doesn’t need the mess of trying to date an idol - really, he doesn’t - but that doesn’t change anything about just how attractive he finds Hongjoong.
And then Hongjoong has a niece who needs some tutoring after falling behind in school. Surely Seonghwa can help Hongjoong out while keeping his commitment to a mundane life and not letting his attraction turn into anything more, right?

Summary
In late 2012, Kim Seokjin and BigHit Entertainment parted ways. Seokjin went to the dorm, packed his things, and left. One summer afternoon in what feels like another life altogether, he runs into Namjoon, who no longer is a fellow trainee, but a global superstar and leader of BTS.
To his surprise, Namjoon wants to reconnect. As they become closer, however, Seokjin struggles with his growing attraction as well as the biggest ‘what if’ of all: being almost BTS.

And All the Trimmings by Anna (pineconepickers)
Absolutely magnificent canon divergent fic, and so much great stuff covered. Goes deep into being a non-celebrity dating an idol and the anxieties involved with that. Explores what adult life looks like after being /this close/ to debut and all the weirdness of knowing those dudes you used to share a dorm with are all superstars now. Really poignant stuff about being closeted in the industry, part of it made my queer heart ache in sympathy. And even a nice little look at fangirling while being a working professional thanks to a fun side character, hahaha. This author has a great way of balancing humor with more serious moments and pacing a story masterfully. Highly recommended even if you don't read BTS fic.

Summary
Joshua cleared his throat. “Was it alright, him at your flat?”
“Yes?” Seungcheol said at once. “Why wouldn’t it be?”
“Choi Seungcheol.” Joshua drew himself up. “Jeonghan thinks it’s 2016. In 2016 the two of you were still a thing. So, I’m asking you, has this gotten even messier since yesterday?”
-
Or, by 2023, Seungcheol has all but forgotten that he and Jeonghan eased the stress of debut by hooking up. Problem is, now Jeonghan can't remember anything else.

Jeonghan doesn’t avoid Seungcheol after the breakup. He has this theory — exposure therapy, or something like that. A way to blunt the blade. It makes it easier.
Seungcheol does avoid him, though.

Seaweed Soup by preciouslittletime
A realistic (so far as I know, ha) look at idols dating non-celebrities and all the scheduling complications and emotional turmoil thereof. Really great stuff, I have no words. Also an interesting AU in which Hoshi's career goes a lot differently, but that is secondary to the relationship storyline.

In which an incident at a broadcast makes the media latch onto the idea of Jeonghan with someone else, and Seungcheol is... he's... well...

Summary
At eighteen, Namjoon is busy with university, part-time tutoring, his lack of a love life, and his alter ego in the underground rap scene. He’s got his hands full without a tutee’s older brother trying to kick his ass, but that is precisely what Seokjin tries to do.
Ten years later, Namjoon thinks it was a hell of a way to meet his first love – and his second, and his third. After having refused to speak to Seokjin for several years, he is unprepared when Seokjin gets back in touch.

A Breach of Protocol by Anna (pineconepickers), tragicamente

Summary
Actor Kim Seokjin’s love life has always been the subject of wild rumours but he has never been caught in a scandal. Behind closed doors, however, he is going through a rough breakup. Namjoon, as the Head of Close Protection, does not expect to pick up the pieces, yet here he is: standing at Seokjin’s door at two in the morning, about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
Seokjin took the phone and looked in amazement at a 28-second fancam set to a sultry, moany song that featured slow-mo footage of Namjoon escorting him in and out of cars and buildings, of Namjoon holding umbrellas for him, of Namjoon shoving people out of the way at an airport (Seokjin remembered that chaotic day). With piercing and sharp dragon eyes, Namjoon sent glares at crowds and photographers like he was two steps from murder at any given moment, but then Namjoon would turn to escort Seokjin with the gentlest of touches. The video caption said, eloquently, ‘hottest bodyguard in all of Korea’.

Summary
The wider world has been obsessed with Namjoon’s pack ever since their debut: not only were they an idol group mixing omegas, betas and alphas together, but seven packmates headed by a young alpha squaring his shoulders. Most expected Namjoon to fail, for his pack to implode and disintegrate, but to Namjoon’s relief they have topped several World’s Most Powerful Pack lists. Yet when Seokjin unexpectedly needs time off for a heat, Namjoon falters. When Seokjin further requires an alpha to spend the heat with, Namjoon stops functioning altogether, and years of missed moments begin to dawn on him.
(or: if you wanted alpha!Namjoon whipped af for omega!Seokjin but denying his feelings for years (and vice versa), boy do I have the fic for you)

Bookmarker's Notes
A Wealth of Intimacies by Anna (pineconepickers)
I love idolverse, I love omegaverse, and I love fics that blend the two well like this one. In addition to being a great, non-linear slow burn fic, this fic also delves nicely into the trials and tribulations of extreme celebrity in a world of pack bonding, public courting gestures, and visible and invisible markers of relationships. Even if you're not interested in the omegaverse concept, it's also a great fic contrasting the group's humble origins with the the atmospheric heights they reached and how that both does and doesn't change people and relationships.

Summary
He covers his face with his hands and tries to think rationally, but that’s impossible when he just saw Jeno turn into a giant dog right in front of his eyes. He wonders if they’re both losing it, or if this could possibly be a really, really vivid dream—but he knows what he saw. He’s always been open minded to the supernatural, to the impossible, but seeing it, really experiencing this is making him struggle to keep his mind in his own body, to stay present in this moment. Jeno is running around the apartment as a dog-slash-wolf, Renjun is stuck here in Jeno’s bedroom without his phone, and he’s scared out of his mind about it all. This is real. This is happening.
If he follows this line of reasoning—if he accepts this absolute absurdity as the truth—then that really is Jeno out there. If Renjun is scared, he must be so much more terrified by this sudden transformation.
or
After Jeno is bitten, Renjun helps him through the consequences.
