[College AU, 14 960 words, Explicit]

Summary:

Final exams are approaching, and students are taking advantage of the library's late-night study hours. One late night, Killian notices that a student he recognizes from one of his classes has fallen asleep at her desk. College AU where Emma and Killian are students who end up helping each other study for final exams. I love the way their friendship develops in this one!

Some unintentional AU stuff for Starfish / Jiwoon x Yoichi.

🔖Mr.Asakawa went to a baseball game to support his friend Adam Francis, only to end up getting the attention of an enemy teammate with a legendary reputation who may have hit him with a ball. Despite Yoichi being fine, Jiwoon swears it should have hit, his eyes not easily deceived. With other’s being concerned for the ‘victim’ due to the player’s fearsome reputation, Jiwoon takes Yoichi to the infirmary to save face. In actuality, it leaves them alone for the star player to get to the bottom of why the other is perfectly fine. This would be the beginning of both of their curiosities as they come to realize how strange the other is.

Summary: Wei Ying has a lot on his plate right now. It’s finals week -- which isn’t so bad. He’s never had to study much to do well in classes. But that just means that things are that much more tense with Jiang Cheng, who, as far as Wei Ying can tell, only takes study breaks long enough to glare at Wei Ying where he sits on the couch playing video games. It’s not studies that have Wei Ying stressed out. It’s everything else. It’s the recruitment for the research trial he’s coordinating. It’s jiejie and her impending marriage to His Royal Douchebag Jin Zixuan. It’s the volunteer work at the palliative care facility. It’s Wen Ning’s worsening condition. It’s Wen Qing working herself thin to care for her brother and Wen Yuan. It’s the way Wen Yuan never seems to have enough food. So, yeah. There’s enough on Wei Ying’s plate already, meaning it’s not entirely welcome when he comes home and finds a man standing in his bedroom. A man in extravagant white robes, a ribbon tied around his forehead, long hair gathered into a topknot, fist clutching a sword at his side, who asks him, “Where am I?”

Mojo's comments: Wei Ying tells himself, there’s no way that he has done something as stupid as fallen for a time-travelling, dimension-hopping wizard in just two weeks of acquaintance. It’s unthinkable. Wei Ying might be stupid, but even he’s not that stupid. Narrator's voice: Wei Ying apparently IS that stupid. … This is an epic story in which canon lwj appears in a modern wwx's room one night. Wwx is a down-on-his-luck college student slipping into even harder times and intrigue, but he's got a heart of gold and immediately sets about helping this strange (and very attractive) wizard. (He can fly, omg!!!) The story's focus is on both their growing relationship (oh, the tension! the slow burn!) and on the mysteries that keep being revealed in both worlds, like tips of icebergs. Author notes that this is not a fix it, which is probably to prepare you for copious amounts of angst and bad choices and misunderstandings (although at least no one is dead for 13 years!). A whole new story, with dimension travel and a strategically striking qi-stealing illness is cleverly woven in with plot points from canon to create something both recognizable and fresh.

College Au: How a seemingly normal group project led to Motoyasu & Naofumi confessing to each other.

(I know, I know, I don't usually do ship prompts that aren't TheRuFumi/RaruFumi,but, I wanted to do something different this time and I randomly remember this meme from a tv show that instantly made me think of this ship XD. Plus, it should be known that I am a massive multi-shipper. I always got a few ships for every fandom i'm in & after reading "The Reprise of The Spear Hero", the inner shipper just went brrr. Feel free to ignore this post. this is mostly for me :) )

--------------------------------------------

Naofumi: So if you take a look here, you'll see i've drawn up a complete work schedule, which lays out exactly when we'll be working together on that report.

Motoyasu: A work schedule?

Naofumi: Yes. It's color-coded so even you can understand it!

Motoyasu: Wait a second, what's this here? We're working 3 hours a night for the next four weeks!?

Naofumi: Well, I thought four hours a night might be too much for your smallish brain to handle.

Motoyasu: My smallish brain can handle plenty! It's my smallish eyes that are gonna have trouble cause they gotta look at you! Yeah! I said it!

Naofumi: Well actually, the human eyes are technically just receptors that pick up visual images which make no sense until deciphered by the brain. Which in your case happens to be smallish. :)

Motoyasu: Why do you have to one-up me all the time!? What? Do you just get your jollies by making me look dumb!?

Naofumi: Who said I think your dumb!? Maybe, I happen to think you're very smart! Maybe I just-!

Motoyasu: Well maybe, you just what!?

Naofumi: Maybe, I just like you!

Motoyasu: Well ma-!...*Processing* *Realization* *Blushing*...Well, maybe I just like you too!

Naofumi: Oh really?

Motoyasu: Yeah! Maybe i've liked you for a really long time, but didn't realize it, cause, I hated you so much!

Naofumi: Are you saying you like me or not?

Motoyasu: Are YOU saying you like me or not?

Naofumi: I'm saying I like you!

Motoyasu: Well then, i'm saying I like you!

Naofumi: FINE!

Motoyasu: FINE!

Naofumi: Then I guess we're boyfriends!

Motoyasu: One condition!

Naofumi: WHAT!?

Motoyasu: I GET TO BE THE BOYFRIEND!

(Meanwhile, Ren & Itsuki, who have been sitting there watching the entire exchange, stare at their two friends very confused)

Ren: What the f*ck, just happened?

Itsuki: I'm not entirely sure...

Let Me Count the Ways (I Love You)

Let Me Count the Ways (I Love You) by KrymshelAngel (ao3)

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Word Count: 72,216

Summary: 

Somehow luck had been on Yeonjun’s side since the start of the year. He promised himself that once he meets tall guy again, he won’t be letting him go.

Soobin thought he'd never see famous senior, Choi Yeonjun, ever again. But fate always loved playing with him. Crushing on your best friend + Being single was enough, but then add a really cute senior into the mix?

It’s gonna be a long year.

Review:

I stopped reading fics for a while as I felt a little detached from this ship. So when I felt nostalgic for yeonbin again, instead of going to read new fics, i turned to the classics. And this one is a classic. One of those fics that everyone in the fandom probably already knows but for good reason. This fic is 70k words of slow burn, pining, misunderstandings, unrequited love, and fluff. This fic is basically hand crafted to check off all the things I like to read. 

It is a continuation of a short fic the author posted and wanted to expand. It’s called Just One Kiss. I would highly recommend reading that first, its quick and cute and yeonbin make out at a kissing booth. Super cute!

This fic revolves around Yeonjun who is pining after Soobin. Who happens to be in love with his best friend Hueningkai. Yeonjun tries not to fall in love with him and fails and the whole time he’s trying to be Soobin’s friend all while hurting himself because he can see just how much Soobin loves kai. 

I think what I love most about it is how cozy it is. It’s a university au, their friend circle is small. This was written in 2020 so it still has that cute puppy love feel to it without the reality of yeonbin divorce in 2021. 

Over all, it is a slow burn. You get taken into Yeonjun’s life trying to navigate a blooming friendship while trying to succeed in his university dance group and trying to avoid his feelings. So despite it taking a while for yeonbin to get together, you’re left with a fic about friendship and what it means to talk through your feelings. 

I love fics like this where you get taken into their world and by the end, despite it being a happy ending, you feel so sad because you have to say goodbye to the characters. 

And the best part, beomgyu and taehyun are a side ship. I feel like a lot of taegyu fics are angsty so I always love to see writers put them as a cute couple in love in the background. 

Please leave kudos and comments on the original work.

The first time George Vincent meets Dream, the latter is passed out on the grass outside a college apartment in nothing but his boxers, the beer can in his hand leaking into the dirt. Charming.

In which George is the captain of the cheer team, Dream is an up and coming football star, and George spends a great deal of time avoiding said up and coming football star like the plague.

“You called me here because of a fucking barista?”

Nora triumphantly grins. “A very attractive barista,” she counters, and—well, she has a point, but Alex walked five minutes in a snowstorm to get here. He refuses to acknowledge that staring at a cute guy for five minutes makes up for it.

“You’re unbelievable.” A smile spreads on Nora’s face. “You fucking… You called me here because you wanted me to set you up with a hot barista?”

Or, 5 times Alex thinks Henry's into Nora, and 1 time he finds out the truth.

Two-Shot Fic Rec: i won't say i'm in love

By @kindredsspirits | Rating: T

the one where killian and emma are best friends, who have pined for one another since the beginning of time, and they get uninvited to neal’s lame ass halloween party (that they didn’t wanna go to anyways), but then emma realizes that neal still has her good luck charm and she wants it back for an upcoming exam, so of course she’s going to drag killian along with her. A College AU two-shot that will have you yelling at the top of your lungs for the two of them to just GET TOGETHER ALREADY. I love how the friend group's friendship is written and just like the readers, emma and killian's friends are foaming at the mouth for the two to recognize their feelings.

Cas held his coffee in both hands and cleared his throat. "So," he said. "Is there some kind of … secret cabal of handsome locksmiths?" Dean froze then shot him a perplexed look. "What?" he asked. "The … last locksmith I had to hire was also incredibly good-looking." "Are you … hitting on me?" "I'm attempting to," Cas said. "Is it working?" Dean grinned and shook his head. "Weirdly, yeah."

I Was Gonna Die Young | rated E

Sometime between finishing his master's degree and starting his new teaching job in upstate New York, Castiel had given up on pursuing any type of committed relationship. He may have grasped how humans interacted and formed social bonds in a theoretical or academic sense, but that was a far cry from actually understanding how to put that knowledge into practice. Dean, thankfully, seemed to be on the same page. For the first time in a long time, he had a good thing going for him. He was living somewhere other than his car, had enough side hustles to put a bit of extra money in his pocket, and had sworn he wouldn't let himself catch feelings for a hook-up ever again.

That goes about as well as expected.
