what are some of ur fave fics about any jin pairing? the sadder the better??

fic rec - sad/angst/”the sadder the better”

SELF PROMo - leave with a notice (or just don’t leave) / yoonjin, broken!yoonjin (i’m shameless, i know.)

as i’m sure everybody has said, anything resonae writes is bound to be so so good but so so sad (not always, but her sad fics just kind of hit you right in the heart), so just read everything. but ones i really liked by her was;

save me - jinmin, yoonjin (ok so there’s one more chp to be uploaded, but it is worth the wait bc every word will tear you apart. i’m not okay. really worth the read. and wait.)

black apples - yoonjin, namjin, angel+demon!au (i love this au. i love the ending. i died. and cried. so so good. so so sad. the thing about fantasy-like au’s is that readers have to know the setting and understand to get what’s going on and resonae really introduced it nicely. it had a good flow.)

there’s obviously more, like ‘little and broken, but still good’, and ‘we are bulletproof’, but these were some of the things that popped up in my head first. 

one, two, three, fall - vppa / yoonjin, jinkook, reaper!au (this got updated. i’m so pissed. like hella pissed. this torn me apart. and now it’s complete and i’m confused and angry and i can’t BELIEVE YOU /screams/)

in slow motion - epistolic / yoonjin, yoonmin, namjin, cheating!au (ah. mel is the nicest. breaking our hearts slowly with each chapter. lovely. ok but this is a good read even tho it’s not complete, the slow movement of things is beautiful)

fireflies - keemcandy / yoonjin (do you see a pattern? i love yoonjin. ok sorry. but anyways this fic just hurts so slowly, because you quickly catch on to what’s happening, and then boom. it hurts.)

muted silences in the wood (can you last until daybreak?) - arysthaeniru / jinkook, sugamon, apocalypse!au (i generally avoid this au, tbh. but this fic was such a slow burn and in the end, it was so nice and optimistic but everything still hurt. ugh. i love.)

i want to be close to you - onyu / jinkook, university!au, girl!seokjin (one-shot. heartbreaking. ah. i’m sad everytime i re-read this because i’m like; yesss jinkook. yess girl jin. yess so go- oh shit no, no you can’t DO THAT STOPAJSIJ. yeah. bittersweet yknow?)

okay that’s all,, um,, okay so there are tons of amazing fics and authors i haven’t mentioned so,, these are just a few that i like and re-read quite a lot. the pairing is,,,, very obvious. i’m sorry to the ones i haven’t mentioned. this is only what i remember on the top of my head. okay have fun reading. (the authors mentioned have other great jin fics + other pairings, so please do check them out and give them love.)

Slowly, without taking his eyes from hers, the man in the black coat knelt before her.  ”I have come for the girl in the window,” he said, and his eyes filled with tears - Deathless, Catherynne M. Valente

“Marya Morevna, all in black, here and now, was a point at which all the women she had been met—the Yaichkan and the Leningrader and the chyerti maiden; the girl who saw the birds, and the girl who never did—the woman she was and the woman she might have been and the woman she would always be, forever intersecting and colliding, a thousand birds falling from a thousand oaks, over and over.”

Hi! Do you have any book recommendation?

Yes! I have plenty! All of these bar one are female authors, because somehow I just seem to roll like that. I also have poetry recs tossed in here too, if you like poetry.

BOOKS/SHORT STORIES:

Catherynne M. Valente:- Deathless (Russian folklore, female sexuality, power)- The Bread We Eat in Dreams (collection of amazing short stories - don’t miss Silently and Very Fast, The Wolves of Brooklyn, White Lines on a Green Field)

Annie Proulx:- Close Range (collection of Wyoming short stories - Brokeback Mountain is in this one, as well as a personal favourite, The Mud Below)

Hannah Kent:- Burial Rites (gorgeous stark style, a very subtle but lasting impact)

Hilary Mantel:- Wolf Hall and its sequel Bring Up the Bodies (transcendent historical fiction, Tudors!Era, court intrigue, layer upon layer upon layer of subtlety)

Madeline Miller:- The Song of Achilles (this one is a given, don’t need to explain it)

Sarah Hall:- The Beautiful Indifference (collection of short stories - sharp at times, terrifying at times, always resonant and raw and beautiful - don’t miss the title story, or Butcher’s Perfume, or - actually don’t miss any of them)

POETRY/PLAYS:

Nayyirah Waheed:- salt. (simple, life-changing, the immigrant experience, womanhood)

Warsan Shire:- Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth (womanhood, motherhood, again the immigrant experience)

Richard Siken:- Crush (quintessential poetry - Do Not Miss This)

Pauline Albanese:- The Closed Doors (Hades and Persephone, re-written)

These are just a few of my favourites! Always happy to share more, but this is already so massive good lord. Let me know what your recommendations are too, I’m always so happy to check out new books!

Because sometimes, the way he looks at me, I think, man of my dreams, father of my child, this man of mine may kill me. He may truly kill me.
