exo fanfic gems-LJ mostly + to-read list

This list is for my own purposes (mainly to remember what each fic was about), therefore I am writing this to myself, and myself only. However, if you've stumbled across this, feel free to check it out, as possible usefulness to someone else is the prime reason this blog post is not set to private.

underlined - personal favorites

in greymade me cry

Rating scale:

10- perfect ; 9- amazing ; 8- very good ; 7- good ; 6- good, but not for me (might have better writing than 7, just not my type of a fic) ; 5- okay ; 4- didn't enjoy much3- didn't enjoy ; 2- bland ; 1- um. it's on the list only because the quality of writing is good.

NOTE: all fics here are of quite high quality, despite the rating. I won't bother posting crap here.

 

UPDATED REGULARLY!

 

Absolutel Chanyeol - breathtaking. Won't write a surmary, because like hell will I ever forget what it's about. 10/10

Be Human - same as Absolute Chanyeol. 10/10

Arbitrage - street racing and heartbreaking Kaisoo. Absolute favorite. 10/10

Anterogate Tomorrow - Kai's dying and Kyungsoo's got problems with memory. Didn't like it as much as most people did. Kai was too angsty, plot was kinda overused. Ending failed to shake me up. 7/10

All That You Were Intended to Be - loved this one. Chanyeol moves out of his old flat, and Kris moves in. Time bends. 9/10

Silentium -  an interesting read. EXO are guardians of the human world. Kris and Chanyeol fight for leadership. Love is forbidden, but Tao and Kris fall in love. 7/10

Zodiacpure joy of reading. So far get's a 10/10

like smoke - Kris is a spirit stuck in a forest. He'll disappear if Tao touches him. 6/10

Puzzle Pieces - um. Chanyeol is afraid of dogs. Scarred. Kris has a secret. 7/10

spoiled & rotten Kai is a trainee. The stage lights change people. (dunno why I cried though) 10/10

Validation - requires brain. Kris and Luhan work in an Invalid research centre. On-going. 8/10

The Dragon Has LandedKris is a heir to a secret magical criminal organization. !HarryPotter 9/10

the 8th day - Kai lives with Kyungsoo. Sehun comes over for a week. An Eclipse awakens their powers. Kai teleports away. 6/10

Spica - Chanyeol is a fisherman's son (or something), Bakehyun is a weird kid. They have a thing for music, and didn't read further. 3/10 - note: might need to pick it up again

48 Hours - good idea, nice plot, but awfully unrealistic characterization. Never finished reading. 4/10

wishbone - one morning Kai wakes up and Kyungsoo isn't part of EXO anymore. By his side lies a broken wishbone. on-going  5/10

rooftops: where do we go from there - yunjae and hunhan. A tad bit too cheesy regarding the emotions of characters. 5/10

Numbered second, minutes to forever - Chanyeol is sick. And Kris is there for him. Quite sad. 5/10

I'll give it all to you, someday - the humanity is dying. Kris and Tao want to die too. 5/10

come to the photostudio, - um, a weird read. The photographer (Kris?-can't remember) steals souls with his pictures. 6/10

concordia discors - Baekhyun is a monster king (or something). Chanyeol is the hero, who's supposed to kill the monster king. dropped. 5/10

the science to killing yourself- short. Kyungsoo wants to die, so Kai dies with him. They jump out a window. 2/10

will it pour needles someday- Yixing gets asked about the last time he cried. It happened when the person he though he loved died. Month- dialog format. 2/10

don't forget me- Jongin erases memories with a touch of his hand. And crying over chocolate chip cookies in a bakery ends in a romance with the head baker Kyungsoo. 4/10

I fear, I fear, 'twill prove a giddy world- everyone has powers. Kai can Leap. That's his freedom, his rush. Kyungsoo likes the solid rules. Please stop. 6/10

severely, I guess i loved you too severely- luhan likes xiumin, the latter doesn't really notice. Luhan builds cocoons out of blankets, so xiumin would have to cuddle to him. 2/10

the red lottus blossom- china is at war, and luhan pretends to be a girl as men go off to fight. Xiumin is a wounded ex-generol, who gets matched up with luhan. 3/10

and there the grass grows soft and white- Kris is a zombie. Kai and Sehun are together. Baekhyun's the third wheel and he meets Chanyeol. College calls. 6/10

Office Anticsseriously. EXO KM MK has 12 employees. And oh boy, is getting a job right after graduation worth it. Hilarious! 10/10

the implications of telepathy - Kyungsoo reads minds. Kai's the only one who knows. And then Sehun finds out. 7/10

thoughts: pernicious- the implications of telepathy from Jongin's perspective. 7/10

desultory- EXO has disbanded. Suho struggles to find his place. Good thing Sehun is by his side. 7/10

ante-ro-gu-rey-du - Kyungsoo reads Anterogate Tomorrow. The only part that I liked was the comments Jongin and D.O left on LJ. 3/10

So we meet again - Jongin thinks everyone could benefit from being an . Jongin is an actor and Kyungsoo is his ghostwriter. 8/10

eden's morning - Chanyeol's browser history tells a story... 6/10

135 Seoul - K are hitmans for hire. Sehun hasn't lived until he meets Luhan. Suddenly the flickering lights are beautiful. Beautiful writing style. Beautiful details.  9/10

our way home - Jongin is a teddy bear, and he belongs to Kyungsoo. Quite a weird idea, a simple plot, but a very warm read. 7/10

all that we see or seem- Inception. Wufan lives in a dream, where Yixing isn't real. The other side of the stone is smooth. Or is it? 6/10

untitled - Kyungsoo is an angel and lives in Heaven. Jongin is a Fallen one and lives in Hell. They both fall- except in opposite directions. 6/10

countdown - Jongin knows how much time everyone's got left. And Kyungsoo's first two numbers are zeros. (predictable ending) read on 21st dec. 9/10

old haunts and new - Kai wants to kiss Kyungsoo, but there are cameras in their room, filming a ghost show. Kinda lacked plot. 3/10

Seven of Swords - there is a demon inside Jongin. When a travelling circus comes into town, the card-reader Kyungsoo gets tangled in what is Jongin's life. [AFF] 7/10

can you hear me - Baekyeol. Basically the movie the Heaven's Postman written down. Seriously. Down to the very detail. Except for the ending which was slightly different. 2/10

jaywalking - jongin wants to press the button. But the street is empty, and he steps onto the asphalt. There's a streech of tires, a blast of light, and everything goes black. 4/10

the end of this shared history - The Hunger Games AU. Kai-centric. The ending a bit too open, but otherwise a veryyyy nice read. 8/10

en pointe - ballet is a battlefield. And every soldier has to fight for something. Kai x Bakehyun. 7/10

turns on a dime - two realities. A daughter or a husband. Either choice kills someone. Is it a question of whom Jongin needs more, or who need Jongin more? 10/10

underbelly - Sehun is a collector, and his biggest collection is made of things the sea has washed ashore. Jongin is from the sea. Nothing good ever comes from the sea. 7/10

chasing cars - Kyungsoo and Kai. Silver and red. Calm and enduring, quick and fading. They meet at night. Wait for a car. Then run after it. Chasing cars. 5/10

Lead on - he likes girls. He likes guys. He likes guys and he likes girls. But he likes girls, while he likes guys. And what about HIM, who likes guys? 6/10

bright lights, pretty lights - aren't the lights on the ferris whell pretty..? Jongin thinks it's tacky, but he still nods, "It's pretty." 5/10

how to become tumblr famous - yixing got a tumblr~! And Kris is tumblr famous. Crack fic. 5/10

pros and cons of being tumblr famous - sequal to ^. Lots of fan-art and jongin's wits. 5/10
