⁰¹ fic discovered this month: — i read this ibang a few days ago so i'll go with it. i thought it kinda captured the loneliness of the pandemic while also still being a very light and sweet read.

⁰² fic that always makes me smile — tbh i only read fics that make me smile, so i'll just go with an oldie but goodie. this was one of the first skz fics that i read and until now it remains one of my faves. a certified mnsng classic.

⁰³ fic that makes me cry — fic doesn't rly make me cry, but this one made me feel so many things i almost wish i could cry to it. it's just... really beautiful.

⁰⁴ fic that i reread all the time — 𝙽/𝙰 i don't really reread fic a lot? i've reread a few here and there, but none that i would reread religiously 🥲

⁰⁵ fic that proves i have good taste ALL OF THEM IN MY BOOKMARKS BECAUSE MY TASTE IS IMPECCABLE OBVIOUSLY 😌🤪

⁰⁶ fic/s with less than 1k hits — — this was hard at first bc i only read mnsng these days wc is so popular you'd be hard pressed to find any good ones that don't have 1k hits. and then i rmb'd these underappreciated remixes!!

⁰⁷ fic w a 3-word title — 10tihay is one of my all time top 5 fave movies and semisonic's f.n.t has been in and out of my music rotation for years so i was p stoked abt this. this was almost going to be 11 but have it for this number instead lol

⁰⁸ fic/s from old fandom/s — — — technically was never active in these fandoms, but these ip's were a huge part of my formative yrs so i read fic for them every so often, usually when im feeling nostalgic

⁰⁹ fic that reminds me of summer — this was such a sweet and nostalgic summer fic 🥲

¹⁰ fic i'll rec to anyone — i usually say this or 'curse of saturdays' both classics in my eyes! this was rly cute and funny in that soft romcom type of way, just how i like fics

¹¹ fic with lyrics in title — there are so many that fit under this category lmao but i rly loved this one and it's still fresh in my mind and... it counts right? 😂

¹² fic w ship i don't usually read for — the way i dont even rly read for one of the two groups here, and yet i still occasionally think abt this fic a lot and how much it made me feel. everyone should try reading it at least once!!!!!

¹³ fic/s i wrote — — i've written a lot so have two: the first being sth that is more recent, and the second being one that i hope people would appreciate more and let me know their thoughts on bc it's a personal favorite

¹⁴ fic a friend wrote — i will always have a soft spot for this one :')

¹⁵ fic that fckd me up in a good way pt.1 — it was the changbin parts that did it, i think. also the way that minho was so opaque to all the povs was kind of genius, so even tho as a reader u just KNEW the feelings were there the storytelling pulled u in

¹⁵ fic that fckd me up in a good way pt.2 — meanwhile for this it was rhe author's dedication to not just letting jsng off scot free for his internalised issues, even while letting u see his side of it all & where he was coming from. that shit hurt lol

¹⁶ fic that's best read at 3am idk what this means bc i read everything between 9pm and 3am lmao

¹⁷ fic/s with number(s) in title — looking in my bookmarks for a fic w a number in the title was harder than i thought it would be but!!! this one is short but super cute. ao3 user pls write mnsng again 🥲

¹⁸ fic that comforts me — tbh a lot of monograph's fics give me this feeling, but this one is my favorite so im gna go with it

¹⁹ fic with (parentheses) in title — the 'twist' halfway through did me in bc i didn't read the summary properly. but tbh that was probably a good thing bc it made me enjoy this so much more

²⁰ fic i wish i could read again for the first time — ive joked a bunch abt confusing elements of aity and hol but! this was the first proper dawnshine classic imho. so yeah i wish i could read it for the first time all over again and enjoy it purely

ᵉⁿᵈ i have so many more bookmarks and recs honestly, and i wish i could have included more in this thread but u know what? just go through my ao3 bookmarks for the rest 😂❤️
