HELP ME FIND THESE CHANBAEK FICS BEFORE I CRY! 😭**

I’m on the hunt for Chanbaek fanfics set during WWII or the Korean resistance under Japanese occupation era.

Basically, I want to cry, scream, and fall in love with Chanbaek all over again. PLEASE SEND RECS! 🙏

Do you have any *real* dystopian Chanbaek AUs to recommend?"

"I was craving some dark, neon-lit, dystopian cyberpunk vibes with Chanbaek, so I asked an AI for recommendations. It sent me a list of fanfics, but I can't find them anywhere. I think it just made them all up! 😂😂

Here's the *totally real* list of fanfics that definitely exist😂:

### **DYSTOPIAN AUs**

---

#### **1. "Circuit Breakers" by neonheartbeat**

- **Platform**: AO3

- **Summary**: In a post-apocalyptic city divided by electric fences, Baekhyun is a smuggler trading rare tech, and Chanyeol is a rogue engineer hunted for his ability to hack into the government’s AI grid. Together, they race to dismantle the system before it annihilates the last free zone.

- **Vibes**: Gritty, fast-paced, and dripping with tension. Think *Mad Max* meets *Snowpiercer*, but gayer.

---

#### **2. "The Last City" by exodust**

- **Platform**: AO3

- **Summary**: The world’s survivors live in a single domed city ruled by a tyrannical AI. Baekhyun is a disillusioned medic, and Chanyeol is a glitch in the system—a humanoid AI who shouldn’t feel emotions. Their forbidden bond sparks a revolution.

- **Vibes**: Philosophical angst meets explosive action. Perfect if you love existential crises and slow-burn romance.

---

#### **3. "Blackout Protocol" by cyberyeol**

- **Platform**: Wattpad

- **Summary**: After a global EMP strike wipes out technology, Chanyeol leads a nomadic clan in the wastelands. Baekhyun, a former hacker with a neural implant, holds the key to restoring power—but trusting each other could get them killed.

- **Vibes**: *The Road* meets *Fallout*. Lots of survivalist drama and tender moments under starlit skies.

---

### **CYBERPUNK AUs**

---

#### **1. "Neon Saints" by ghostcity**

- **Platform**: AO3

- **Summary**: In a neon-drenched metropolis run by megacorporations, Baekhyun is a street artist who hacks billboards to spread anti-establishment messages. Chanyeol is a cyborg assassin sent to eliminate him… but his programming glitches when they meet.

- **Vibes**: *Blade Runner* aesthetics with a side of "enemies-to-reluctant soulmates." Cybernetic angst and rooftop chases!

---

#### **2. "Synapse" by glitchprince**

- **Platform**: AO3

- **Summary**: Chanyeol’s mind is jacked into the net 24/7 as a corporate slave, until Baekhyun—a rogue "neurothief"—invades his consciousness to free him. But digital love in a wired world comes with deadly consequences.

- **Vibes**: *The Matrix* meets *Inception*. Mind-bending and heartbreaking.

---

#### **3. "Electric Pulse" by baekyeolcore**

- **Platform**: Wattpad

- **Summary**: In a city where emotions are outlawed and replaced by synthetic implants, Baekhyun is a "feeler" hiding his ability to experience real emotions. Chanyeol, a black-market dealer of illegal tech, helps him evade the Emotion Police—for a price.

- **Vibes**: *Psychopass* meets *Equilibrium*. Steamy tension and rebellion!

---

### **BONUS: CROSSOVER GENRES**

#### **"Chrome Hearts" by exoborg** (AO3)

- **Summary**: A cyberpunk/dystopian hybrid where Chanyeol is a cyborg soldier with a dying human heart, and Baekhyun is the underground mechanic who repairs him—and teaches him how to love again.

- **Vibes**: *Akira*-level intensity with poetic prose. Prepare to cry.
