[taekookficrecs]

Hii, how are you doing? I just found your account and I must say I'm in heaven. I'm looking for a taekook where one of them is a ceo and single father, I think it is Tae, but I'm not sure and Jk his personal assistent or something and he doesn't even know the ceo has a daughter until he does and helps the ceo out. I think the assistent thought the ceo was cold until he saw him with his daughter. I'm sorry for the lack of info but I'd love if you knew this one. I've been looking for a long time.

hey hey hey! i do know this one!

to always follow the sun - thruspring (( 1/1 | E | 36,019 ))

In which Jeongguk upgrades from being his boss' frazzled and overworked assistant to prospective future step-parent practically overnight.

admin nj - sorry if this ask was sent a long time ago, hope i was still be able to help!

[taekookficrecs]

Aching Joints - thejoth (( 17/17 | E | 145,555 ))

No matter who you are, growing pains are inevitable. Taehyung and Jungkook learn this firsthand.

i wouldn't know (any better than you) - honeymi (( 1/1 | T | 19,423 ))

Taehyung stares into his cup of untouched camomile tea. “Can you… can you repeat like. All of that again?” Jungkook sips his own tea nervously. “All of it?” “Yeah.�� Taehyung watches a few errant leaves drift around the bottom of his mug. “Or just like. That part about you being the personification for the concept of fate again?” “Well, that’s not quite it,” Jungkook mutters. “It’s more like… I’m the human vessel for it. I help carry out Fate's tasks." Taehyung looks up at Jungkook. “Right. Sorry. Go over the part about you being a human vessel for Fate again.”

[Or: Jungkook knits a lot, and Taehyung learns about the behind-the-scenes of human connection.]

nostalgia corrosiva - drawingspaces (( 1/1 | M | 26,500 ))

taehyung and jeongguk are very good at getting other people to talk to each other. they’re not very good at the talking thing themselves. 

or: the one in which they run an investigative podcast, don’t psychoanalyze anyone, and the scariest thing isn’t falling off the edge of a waterfall.

When Autumn Comes Let Just One Bird Sing - porridgemilk (( 8/11 | M | 67,002 ))

Somehow, despite sharing a childhood together, it’s been years since Jeongguk had even thought about Taehyung much at all. In all of his childhood photos, Taehyung was a permanent fixture, as if they couldn’t exist without each other. Joined at the hip, those two, their mothers would always say. Nothing in the world can get between them, huh? 

Jeongguk thinks that perhaps their mothers and everyone in the town hadn’t accounted for the simple fact of time passing them all by. 

-- Or,

Jeongguk is forced to come back to the town he spent most of his childhood in and finds that it's not the same place that he left behind. Neither is he. He's nothing he dreamed he would become when he first left this place.

if you've bled, i'll bleed the same - veausy (( 1/1 | T | 5,200 ))

All that blood in your mouth, he thinks, swiping a rusty smear of it off Jungkook's cheek, just next to his swollen, shiny mouth. The boy in his hold laughs, wild and crazed and feral. I wish it were mine.

nolo contendere - veausy (( 1/1 | M | 13,650 ))

The first thing Taehyung usually told the jury was that Jungkook Jeon doesn’t look like a cold-blooded murderer.

The second thing he usually told the jury was that there’s no particular way a murderer should look.

compersion - veausy (( 1/1 | T | 12,300 ))

“You can start off slow, with a few innocent kisses,” Yoongi pipes up, “but, you know, a true couple would show quite a bit of intimacy over the course of two weeks on a cozy winter holiday.” He swallows, then sneers at Jimin, who grins back. Taehyung’s hands curl into two fists, but he locks his elbows in and breathes deeply. “So maybe you two can spend some quality time getting to know each other before our flight.”

“What a splendid suggestion,” Taehyung drawls. “Want me to show you where to put it?”

Jeongguk, breaking out of his comfort zone of typical and total silence, smacks the edge of his phone against the table. “See, why are you like that? You already said yes, why do you need to be unbearable?”

let me in (let me get closer) - annangst (( 4/? | T | 46,196 ))

Taehyung and Jungkook are petty enemies. They're also roommates in college. Because of course they are. 

or, alternatively: finally the unnecessarily domestic enemies to lovers story i was always destined to write

soft sounds from another planet - geryoneis (( 17/17 | E | 90,530 ))

There are props to a marriage. First, the person tracking the words. Second, the heart.

You're My Blue - redpangur (( 9/9 | E | 69,122 ))

His voice has this odd timbre, dark and a little low, and he’s good-naturedly ribbing Jimin with this bright, rectangular smile, strands of blue hair in his eyes, and suddenly Jungkook feels dizzy. He redirects his gaze to his bag, tries to remember what he was even pretending to search for. 

Jungkook really isn’t looking for a crush. First of all because he tends to fall too hard, and he’s trying not to be that way anymore. And second of all because he needs to focus on this new program—to find his bearings, prove that he belongs. He doesn’t need any distractions. So this thing, where this guy he doesn’t know is ruffling Jimin’s hair and making Jungkook feel fluttery—it’s not ideal.

~~~

Grad school AU. Taehyung is a cagey history masters student, and Jungkook is a dance MFA with a big ole crush.

August Slipped Away - redpangur (( 18/18 | E | 88,411 ))

“I’m 25,” Jeongguk says readily, sucks another drip of ice cream off of his knuckles.

“Oh. I’m 28.”

It tracks, Jeongguk thinks, slots readily in with everything else he knows about him. “Wow. And your only job prospect is dishwasher?”

The bloom of Taehyung’s smile is slow. “I’m having a terrible time here on my fake honeymoon, by the way. Zero stars.”

“That’s a shame. Wouldn’t recommend it to other fake honeymooners?”

“Definitely not.”

~~~

Taehyung goes on a fake honeymoon!!! Jeongguk is just trying to get some work done.

Stay Dark Red - redpangur (( 3/3 | E | 83,067 ))

“Did you just watch Jungkook eat an entire pomegranate?”

Taehyung looks up, flummoxed. He tries to think of a suitable response. He lands on: “No.”

Jimin nods slowly, phone resting on his chest. “Alright.”

recent faves!!

hello friends !! it's been a hot second so i thought i'd stop by and drop some of my faves that i've read in the past year. our ask box is overflowing and it's really hard to get to them when we're busy with college but i hope this will suffice!! some are old some are new but i hope you enjoy them all the same :)

cards on the table (we're both showing hearts) - afuzzyowl (( 21/21 | E | 143,829 ))

I want him, Taehyung almost confesses. Jimin makes his life hard like that because he’s sort of soft, gives off this vibe of being welcoming, or accepting, or something. Even if his back muscles are disconcertingly defined.

“Say. What do you think of Jungkook? Just, like. In general.”

Jimin sighs exaggeratedly. “He’s a brat.” Taehyung nods. “Our brat, though. Even though he 'forgets' to call me hyung sometimes. Hmph.”

“He’s so—adorable, Jiminie,” Taehyung mourns, and it takes everything in him not to turn this into a half-hour sob fest about the dreadful consequences of such adorableness, complete with poster presentation and one of those extendable pointer thingies.

On their journey to becoming the number one boy band in the world, Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook fall in love. Based on true BTS events.

nostalgia corrosiva - drawingspaces (( 1/1 | M | 26,500 ))

taehyung and jeongguk are very good at getting other people to talk to each other. they’re not very good at the talking thing themselves.

or: the one in which they run an investigative podcast, don’t psychoanalyze anyone, and the scariest thing isn’t falling off the edge of a waterfall.

forever is a tangent - astringxnt (( 2/2 | M | 9,366 ))

in which Taehyung is a keeper of the past, and Jungkook only chases the future. "I don’t think I will ever find the words to describe the anger, the devastation; it swallowed me up from the inside out, killed me right where I stood as I listened to your breathing slow to naught, until there was only static.

what is lost/what is left behind - tetsurou (( 1/1 | T | 8,392 ))

Taehyung was in an accident. There are a lot of things in his apartment that don't make sense.

(make my heart) a Better Place - HereIGoAgain (( 1/1 | E | 40,809 ))

There’s one other thing that’s not changed. Besides the fact that Taehyung is just as bright, and brave, and beautiful as he was the day they met. That’s just fact. That’s just Taehyung. But it helps explain the other thing.

Being that Jungkook is hopelessly and desperately in love with him.

Always has been.

-

Jungkook has gotten pretty good at the whole tomb raiding gig.

Taehyung complicates things.

i just sorta feel sick without you, baby - glossssy (( 6/6 | N/R | 36,087 ))

“Did I make baby sad?" Taehyung calls as he backs away. "So sad." Jungkook fake pouts, then shoves up a middle finger. "Get lost."

(Jungkook and Taehyung are the lead singers of rival bands.)

Where You Resonate - sunsetskv (( 7/7 | E | 78,892 ))

Jeongguk wants nothing more than for his past to be forgotten—while Taehyung simply wishes to be remembered forever.

glass stars - flowerhours (( 6/6 | M | 6,302 ))

somewhere among the stars in the milky way, an artist falls in love.

Pluto - annangst (( 21/21 | E | 199,119 ))

Kim Taehyung has his life figured out. There's a simple plan to follow, a guaranteed path to a fulfilled life: Graduate high school. Volunteer. Get into the most prestigious university imaginable. Attend church. Never disappoint your parents, never veer off track. Maintain the perfect facade.

Taehyung is really good at following that plan.

Until.

Until, one cruel summer, his best friend drags him along to a sketchy underground club and introduces him to Jeon Jungkook – someone Taehyung vividly remembers riding a skateboard and folding paper airplanes with utmost precision back when they were kids.

And, well, Jungkook kind of fucks his whole plan up.

an echo of you - taecheeks (( 10/10 | E | 66,558 ))

"Where there are shadows, there is light."

Jungkook is the best in the Company. Every hit he's assigned, he does so without question and gets the job done quickly. But when he's assigned to take out the Shadow, a man who has stolen from his boss, he can't bring himself to do it.

Vitrail - Melarose (( 9/9 | M | 164,872 ))

For Jeon Jeongguk, a newly graduated witch hoping to become a powerful mage, the biggest mystery of his life has always been his missing familiar. He prays he’ll be assigned a mentor who will help him find it, eagerly awaiting the chance to prove himself.

Instead, he’s assigned to the infamous Kim Taehyung, the reclusive groundskeeper of the Arboretum who seems to cultivate more secrets than he does plants.

Stars, or Moons, or Something - redpangur (( 11/11 | E | 43,978 ))

When Jungkook was a lot younger, and didn’t know how to wall himself off, or that his body was this inexplicable thing liable to betray him, Hoseok used to joke that Jungkook had a huge crush on Taehyung. He teased Jungkook for his crestfallen looks when Taehyung chose another team, when he wouldn’t come watch Jungkook play video games, when he got the chance to leave practice early and actually did. “Give the poor kid a break,” Yoongi broke in at one point. “He won’t always get one.” Jungkook is older now, much more experienced at self-censorship. Sometimes he even just exists for long stretches of time, doesn’t consciously acknowledge how he’s always, always trying not to think too much about it. And then there are times like today in the recording booth, when he’s weak beneath it again.

Where the Light Shines - moonflower1306 (( 14/14 | E | 135,013 ))

Taehyung takes the role of a servant for a bratty but rich heir named Jungkook in order to seduce and cheat him out of his inheritance.

inure - volataeile (( 7/7 | E | 69,561 ))

Seven years after their breakup, Jeongguk and Taehyung begin to find their way back to each other.

Years ago, that would be the look Jeongguk would yearn for, searching for Taehyung’s eyes in every room he enters, wanting his attention, wanting Taehyung to look at him, to see him. He’d look back at Taehyung with just as much fire in his eyes, letting his gaze tell him everything Jeongguk couldn’t yet. How he's going to give him anything he wants in this world.

Jeongguk was ready to do that until the day it all ended.

Now, Taehyung’s eyes on him feel invasive, having Jeongguk afraid of what they’ll see if they look at him for too long.

sucker for you - anon (( 17/17 | E | 163,574 ))

“Jungkook here doesn’t believe the sun will burn him. Can you please tell him that it does so he doesn’t get hurt and become an even bigger pain in my ass?”

Jungkook pushes against his shoulder. “You were just begging for me to stay because you enjoy my company so much.”

Another questioning look on Jimin’s face makes Taehyung consider going somewhere else for the night so he doesn’t have to hear about it.

“Didn’t beg.” Taehyung fixes his shirt in case his position wrinkled it in any way. “Only said that to make you feel better.”

Jungkook scoffs under his breath. “You lie so much and wonder why I don’t believe you.”

how to talk to other humans (and other valuable life skills) - drawingspaces (( 11/11 | E | 148,339 ))

If love is a word, let it be a song.

People rarely get a second chance at growing up. Somehow, Jeongguk lucks out.
