FanFic Review ~ Jammed by minversehe

Title: Jammed by minversehe

Main Pairing: Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung
Chapters: 1/1
Words: 11,058
Read in: January 2020
Challenge  18. Smut/Lemon 

Author’s Summary: rational part of Jimin's brain screams at him to remember what his mother said about strangers and vans. But the rational part of his brain is no match for really bad whiskey and Kim Taehyung.

((au where Jimin gets stuck on the interstate in the middle of a blizzard and Taehyung lives in a van))

My Thoughts: 
Okay I have a slight weakness for Taehyung which comes out of nowhere. Usually I am not a fan of reading fanfic with him in it or JHope but for some reason I also have a weakness for any Vmin shipping that occurs. I just love their natural relationship. So I just happened to stumble across this one evening while I was checking for updates on my subscriptions and trying to catch up on my favorite authors' backstories I haven't already previously read. Then I realized authors' also bookmark and man I might be missing a goldmine in that. So I quickly looked into their bookmarks and BAM this story shows up. 
First off Jimin is very uptight in this fic and Tae is well living in a van. Yet somehow Jimin let's it all go for some good sexy time. Only to realize a surprise. The majority of the fic focusing on them meeting and Tae slowly but surely convincing Jimin to get into his van (not in a creepy way) and then well it goes sexy. The rest of the fic is the aftermath which I totally appreciate more of the aftermath story then I thought I would. It helped me to get a good satsifying ending to a relationship that I find I am more and more in support of. Needless to say this is a quick fluff, sexy, relationship not previous established read. I enjoyed that Yoongi and Hope were getting married in it. That added some sweetness to it and I loved that all OT7 showed up. 

Check out this author I have to say I will probably read more from them! 

FanFic Review ~ You are the one who will give meaning to my memories

Title: you are the one who will give meaning to my memories by Amonymous

Main Pairing: Jungkook and Namjoon

Chapters: 1/1
Words: 25,923
Finished in: January 2020
Challenge: Doesn't qualify for my challenge

Author Summary: “D’you know the meanings of the flowers in the tattoo you designed for me?” Jungkook hears himself ask, then: why? Why am I asking that when I should be saying fuck yes please kiss me all the time—?

But Namjoon’s kneeling in front of him, hands gripping Jungkook’s thighs as he tries to squirm between them to edge closer to him. He’s blushing and nervous; Jungkook can feel his hands shake where they’re planted on his thighs, can see the tiny tremors in his shoulders, hears how shaky his breathing is. “Love at first sight. Hidden worth. I think of you,” Namjoon mumbles, “right? I looked it up online and in a book, but it was a really weird book—”

Jungkook covers one of Namjoon’s hands with his own, winds his other around his neck, and yanks him in to press their lips together.

(Or: in which Jungkook develops a crush on the tattoo artist who just moved next door after he comes in to buy flowers.)

My Thoughts: Wow this one was a super sweet one shot and I was so upset when I was interrupted in reading it. I had to split it into 2 days due to the sheer length but my goodness I was so happy to have stumbled across this fic. It was sweet and even though there was a mis-communication my goodness it doesn’t matter because I am whole heartily in love with the way they worked it out and handled it. The fic goes through the whole relationship from beginning to a HEA and I was on board with the whole thing. I really enjoy Namjoon and Jungkook together and I wish I could find more soft stories like this. It was a sweet build up to a great relationship.

FanFic Review ~ How to Fall in love by CassiaVioletBlue & Softjeon

How to fall in love by CassiaVioletBlue, softjeon 

Main Pairing: Yoongi and Jungkook

Chapters: 6/6 

Word count: 55,039

Author’s Summary: He needed his music and it was a bittersweet passion because it could set him aflame with joy or tear him down alike. But needing a person - you’d always end up with your heart in pieces, he had learnt that. Still, here in the darkness of the room and with no one else watching he allowed himself a moment of pure and utter weakness, reaching out for Jungkook and pulling the younger gently against his own body.

My thoughts: 
Wow this one surprised me. It hit on some major issues that I didn't think fanfiction would go to. Such as abusive relationships, self-esteem, rape or close to, toxic relationships and eventually dealing with the fall out from that. Jungkook moves in to Yoongi's apartment and right away we see the self esteem and self worth come into play with both of them thinking the other deserved more then what they could offer. Yet NEVER COMMUNICATING THIS... unrelated shouting sorry. However, as the story progresses we see how much self-worth and esteem come into play when Jungkook gets himself in a relationship with "the perfect boyfriend" according to everyone except the one that is in the abusive and toxic relationship which made it even harder for him to get out of. Yoongi on the other hand kept telling himself it wasn't his place to interfere with what Jungkook wanted. So back and forth we go until it builds to a head and Jimin has to step up and interfere in such a great loving way that I finally had my satisfying HEA. So worth it to read this story for that HEA and to see how the author handled abuse, toxic relationships, friendships, and communication. I have to say this minus all the negative topics, but honestly because of them, has become one of my favorite fanfictions to read and I so, so, so much enjoyed reading this one.


***I currently subscribe to CassiaVioletBlue on AO3 due to this fic and I have to say BEST INVESTMENT so far. All of their stories have been interesting and blown me out of the water. They have a new one that just came up that I am waiting with baited breath each week for Evergreen seriously go check it out. It is another Jungkook and Yoongi pairing with hybrid themes that I adore.***

Fanfic Review ~ The Prince and the Baby Bird by Linn_Linn

The Prince and The Baby Bird by Linn_Linn

Main Pairing: Jimin and Jungkook (Jikook)

Chapters: 75/75
Words: 210365

Author Summary: 

Jimin lives with Jin, and together with Namjoon the three of them use to spend their Saturday nights in Yoongi's kitchen as they are too shy to actually join the parties taking place in the living room.

Jimin wants a boyfriend, a prince, who can take care of him with soft hands and loving words.

Being pinned against the wall by bad boy Jungkook wasn't exactly what he had in mind.

”What’s your name, baby bird?” Kookie asked and leaned back to give the blonde space.

”Jimin” Jimin answered a little out of breath, ”You promised to let me go.”

Kookie laughed quietly and showed his hands, ”I’m not the one keeping you.”

Jimin could feel his cheeks heat up but he refused to let Kookie know, so he ducked his head and hurried back to the kitchen with the lingering feeling of the other’s lips against his neck.

My Thoughts

This was the first story I read from this author. Certainly not the last... This story is a Jikook story line which I am starting to see a theme emerge here in my fanfic reading. Ironically I don’t usually ship these 2 together but for some reason I just can’t help but gravitate towards their pairings. So here I found myself again reading yet another Jikook story line. This one was amazing and sucked me in from the start. I like how the 2 main characters do not get along in the beginning and Jimin is able to tell Jungkook why he doesn’t like him. It was refreshing that even though Jungkook was an ass that Jimin did not immediately forgive him and Jungkook had to earn his trust back. There is something about bad boy Jungkook learning how to humble himself that gets me every time. This author is amazing and writing a story that utterly sucks you end and keeps you trapped. I could feel like I was part of the story, I hurt when Jimin hurt, I cried when one of them did. I was angry when I should be and happy when I shouldn't. This story was so engaging that I read it 75 chapters and all in 2 days. I absolutely love this story. 

***I am currently reading one of this author’s works that is still in progress Because His Stars Are In My Dreams and I did read Your heartbeats told me as well and I am wanting to Read He Misses You Even though he is not awake but it feels like it might be a lot of angst so I am saving that for a day I wanna bawl my eyes out.***

Chapters: 6/6

Word count: 84434

My thoughts:

This story was kind of surprising. I mean it does have Jimin and Jungkook in it as the main story characters and again Jimin is the omega and I won’t say helpless but most omega stories I have read the omegas are gentle, kind and weak. They represent females which I have always found weird but God help it if I can’t help but read these kind of stories. Anywho I digress, Jimin has never ever, ever cut his hair and poof Jungkook magically appears in the tribe to be their new carpenter and wow if he isn’t in love with Jimin (I know this comes across sarcastic but it’s the main pairing so bare with it) Jimin falls in love at first smell and sight with Jungkook and then our story begins. The interesting bits were the letter/journal that Jimin’s mother left him when she past. Jimin has been alone and by himself since 14 and has been the main village seamstress. He reads the journal as a way to connect to his mother and keeps his hair long for the same reason. It is a sweet story of two people/wolves falling in love with each other and keeping it pure. I did love that Jungkook in this story was just as pure and that they were waiting for each other. They followed the rules and they didn’t rush things and for me that was a great ending! I also have to say I enjoyed the ending to see how the 2 of them ended up. Overall this story is cute, soft and full of fluff so I can’t help but say that I enjoyed it. I happen to really like this author and so I was excited to read this one. It also helps that there were only 6 chapters so I was able to read it all in one night.

Extra Thoughts

*** I also read some of their one-shots and I have to say I love this author. Check out Rut Bakery if you are looking for a quick Alpha/Beta/Omega Jikook fun little story that was hella cute. ***

Fanfiction Review ~ If You Wanna Go To Heaven by TrappingLightningBugs

If You Wanna Go To Heaven (You Should Just Fuck Me Tonight) by TrappingLightningBugs

Main Pairing: Jungkook and Jimin

Author Summary: They mark a trade; Jimin's soul for Jeongguk's body, till death does the hunter get dragged down to Hell. Those are the conditions.

My thoughts:  

Few things about this story that I loved… Jimin in control and a badass with a capital B. I mean this man is a hunter and loves what he does, hell he even gets off on it. It is rare and I mean rare to find a Jimin fic that has him as a strong capable character that doesn’t need an alpha or one of the other members to take care of him. In this fic, however, not only is he a hunter of demons, he successfully kills them and is known for it. He lives with Yoongi is a witch and Hoseok is an angel. Add in that Jungkook is a naïve demon who is a very young incubi and you have a hell of a mix. This is a Jimin/Jungkook story, and their relationship takes a primary role. There is a lot of smut in this and when I say a lot, I mean a lot. However, what kept me reading this (besides the smut) was the relationship and how Jimin questioned everything from Jungkook’s role, to his life, to his own desires and how he enjoyed killing so much. Jimin did justify his actions of killing demons but Jungkook called him out on the pure pleasure he received from the killings. I also enjoyed how they started out in a contract that Jungkook did not want to end up in a relationship of budding friendship. The storyline itself was very interesting and the author did a fantastic job at portraying the grey lines of demons, angels, right and wrong. The author made you start questioning things as well and if it really is as simple as a black and white, good vs evil situation. I was so sad when the story ended, I immediately jumped on the author’s page to see if there was anything else out there. Turns out there was a sequel that they had started and didn’t finish as of yet (fingers crossed that they do) because the sequel has Jimin and Jungkook continuous storyline but also has more of Yoongi and Hoseok’s story and I am dying to see where they was heading with at witch and an angel. Not to mention they threw in a little Jin and Joon to mix things up and not in the way I anticipated.

If you are for sure looking for a good fanfic that is different from others, I would highly suggest this one. 

This has a sequel called: I Would Fall from Grace (Just To Touch Your Face) it has a few more chapters to be finished and I admit that I subscribed to it…

Extra thoughts

*** I also read another quick one-shot from the author called Another Reason to Stan and I have to say I enjoyed that a bit too much as well. This is for sure an author I will be reading the backlist and subscribing for any new stories ***

FanFiction

So have you ever fallen into a fandom and fallen so hard that you just decide to accept your fate whole heart and go for it all? Whelp welcome to my new life. I haven't been reading "real books" for awhile this year due to a lot of reasons main one being my job has increased in stress and workload which doesn't leave a lot of time for investing in new things like a book or book series. So instead I stumbled across this beautiful thing called fan fiction. For those who don't know what it is... basically it is fiction written by fans of a particular show, group, etc. They then turn their favorite ships (pairings) into a story. And when I fell down the BTS rabbit hole I also took on the fanfic rabbit hole and boy did it blow my mind.

1) there are a ton of fantastic writers out there. Like seriously some of these people should write for a living cause DAMN I'd buy their books.
2) Holy cow there is some weird shit in the internet and even worse I didn't know I was into some of the weird shit until I read really good fanfic and now well I have to admit I might be into some weird shit.
3)There is a crap ton of fanfic out there for literally anything you want and I mean you can type in the most obscure thing and poof magically someone has written about it.
4)The best thing about fanfic is you don't have to invest in new characters because you already know them (as well as you can) so you literally just let them take on new stories IT'S SERIOUSLY THE BEST THING EVER
5) they have angst, fluff, sex, sweet moments and hella drama so really there is no reason not to read them.

the only downside is finding good fanfic to invest in, praying that the author actually finishes the story and deciding what you are willing to be into and what you aren't into.

So I decided as I read more and more it might be time to come up with some fanfic that I recommend and sadly since I fell down the BTS rabbit hole I guess I will start with that fanfic and go from there.
I will keep updated links on a page in the header. But for now I will just reviews as I would if they were books because damn some of them are over 100k

Let me know any fanfic suggestions you have because I am always looking for more recommendations. I mainly read on AO3 but I have been hitting up Tumblr for some BTS reactions and other things as well :)
